Chapter 18

"Why are you here?" Xu Ting asked, putting down his pen at the same time.

She used a pencil, which was also made by Lu Zhilan, but it was a failed "invention."

Today's scholars do not buy her account at all, which means that the brush is traditional and authentic. What kind of pencil is vulgar!

Therefore, the sales volume was dismal and the production was stopped directly.

Xu Ting asked people to buy it back and give it to the craftsmen of the Zhenbian army for research, and soon produced a better one, which is almost the same as modern pencils.

Scholars are not happy with it, but it's really easy to use. Xu Ting often uses it to draw pictures and write plans.

The position of the inspector general is oil poor, which leads to the fact that the people inside are either booze bags or dandies. Although there are some good ones at the bottom, from the perspective of Xu Ting's professional soldiers, they are in great need of education.

What Xu Ting is writing is a plan for the internal reform and personnel training of the patrol department.

"There's soup in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you." Du Siyin said, and put the lacquer plate on the next table.

Xu Ting came out from behind the book case and sat down on the chair on one side of the table, while Du Siyin sat on the other side.

Xu Ting picked up the soup bowl. The soup was very clear. He just filled the soup and put the bottom of the material in the casserole, so he couldn't see what the soup was on the surface.

While drinking the soup, Xu Ting asked, "just bring me the soup?"

"One more important thing." Du Siyin suddenly feels that he has some faults, as if he has done something wrong.

"Shuqi, give me something."

Shuqi immediately handed the account book to Du Siyin. "In the morning, lady Li sent the account book to her, but I thought it was wrong, so I took it to my wife, Changning to have a look."

Xu Ting: "Oh, there are some mistakes."

"Every month, the unit price of each purchase is right, but the quantity is not right. A yard can't be used so much, and the damaged ones can't be included.

There are always several accounts that are not clear about the purpose. For example, this account says that it is for a shop to buy raw materials, but this shop only sells the finished goods, so where can we use the raw materials to enter Jiangnan. "

Xu Ting looked at the figures on the account book. She was not angry, but surprised.

"Can you tell the sound of the heir?"

"Well." Du Siyin just casually agreed, and then immediately said, "this is too hateful, so doing accounts, at least stole 30% of the income of qingfengyuan."

"According to the rules of the house, five out of a hundred is the cheapest range. Housekeeper Wang takes 30%. It's really getting better."

Du Siyin was a little surprised. He just said that there was something wrong with the account book, but he didn't say the housekeeper's name directly. After all, housekeeper Wang has worked in qingfengyuan for a long time, so it's very likely that Xu Ting will scruple some feelings and deal with it in private.

I didn't expect that Xu Ting directly called out the name of housekeeper Wang in front of him.

"You don't have to worry about it. Housekeeper Wang is an old man in the house. I'll tell my parents and let him decide."

Such a highly qualified servant, if let Du Siyin to do it, it is easy to get angry.

Du Siyin nodded. He was smart and transparent. Of course, he knew that Xu Ting was thinking for him.

"But after you come, there's no need for a housekeeper in qingfengyuan."

Du Siyin gave a sound, and his heart was too beautiful.

The atmosphere is good, but Xu Ting's face suddenly changes, "what's in the soup?"

Du Siyin suddenly can't prevent some panic, "no, I don't know."

Xu Ting: didn't you stew the soup

"Uncle an told me to cook in the kitchen!"

Xu Ting sighed in his heart and directly picked up Du Siyin and turned to walk behind the bookshelf.

Fortunately, there is a soft couch in the study

She said that when she drank it just now, she felt the taste of the soup was fishy. She just thought that it was stewed by Du Siyin himself. Her heart was important, so there was no need to say some small flaws to spoil the scenery.

Now it seems that it should be stewed with deer whip, tiger whip and so on

Du Siyin didn't know what was going on until he was put on the soft couch and most of his clothes were off. Suddenly, the whole person was blushed.

The meeting gift from my brother-in-law was very popular with the two young men who loved beauty. The next day, they couldn't wait to wear it.

In order to match the jewelry on her head, Xu Mei specially chose a bright red skirt, while Xu Yue wore a white Luo skirt.

They excitedly went to qingfengyuan and said that the laughter was light and crisp, just like the oriole in March.

They see Xu Jing in the pavilion in the back garden. Xu Yue urges Xu Mei to call him in a low voice. Xu Mei reluctantly shouts, "Xu Jing! Let's go and play with my brother-in-law. Are you going or not? "

Xu Jing immediately refused them, "I won't go!"

"My father will tell me something later. I'll go back first."

With that, Xu Jing left the garden in a hurry.

"Xu Jing didn't wear the jewelry from her brother-in-law. I want to see what kind of jewelry her brother-in-law gave him!

He can't bear such beautiful jewelry. "Xu Mei and Xu Yue muttered.

The outside informs the two younger brothers of the world daughter to come, Du Siyin quickly lets the book Qin lead them in.

Now he was leaning on the couch, his eyes were still a little red, and his whole body was full of contented laziness.

Fortunately, Xu Mei and Xu Yue could not understand these subtle names.

"Brother in law!"

"Sit down."

Xu Mei immediately sat on the other side of the couch.

Xu Ting then waved to Shu Qin, "go and get a soft stool for Yue er's younger brother."

Shuqin let out a cry, then went into the inner room to move a soft stool in front of the couch, and approached Xu Mei.

"Brother in law, where's sister?"

"She went to practice."

Du Siyin also called cicada, "go and get some nuts, dried fruits and pastries to satisfy my brothers."

Xu Mei: "brother in law, you see, the jewelry you gave me and Xiaoyue is really beautiful. We like it very much."

Du Siyin looked at them with a smile, but he showed some doubts.

What Xu Mei wears is clearly for Xu Yue, but on Xu Yue's head is pearl jewelry for Xu Mei.

Xu Yue immediately said, "my brother and I like the jewelry my brother gave us so much that we can all wear it instead."

For fear that Du Siyin misunderstood that they didn't like the gift from Du Siyin, so they exchanged it.

Du Siyin can see that Xu Mei is lively and outgoing, but some of them lack a string, but Xu Yue is quiet and thoughtful.

"We used to wonder what kind of person would marry my sister. I don't think the whole Prince of Suizhou is worthy of sister ting. As expected, sister Ting went to the capital to marry her brother-in-law. "

"She's very kind to you."

"Well, sister Ting is the best sister. In the past, Xiaoyue and I were bullied by others, and sister Ting helped us vent our anger immediately."

"Brother in law, you don't know that fat and ugly young man wanted to rob us of our favorite jewelry. Xiaoyue and I didn't bring too much silver at that time. We were so angry. But sister Ting suddenly passed by and directly lost a gold ingot to the boss. The nuisance cried angrily! "

"What else?"

Du Siyin was very interested in Xu Ting's life in Suizhou and the time before he met him.

From the stories of the two young masters, he seems to see the world girl who is full of spirit, domineering and gentle.

In the matter of dazzle elder sister, even the quiet Xu Yue can't help interrupting, as if worried, Xu Mei can't get to the point.

There are some strange things. The stories they talked about are mainly between Xu Ting's 16 and 18 years old. The things that happened for a long time before are seldom mentioned.

Maybe these two young men were young at that time. They couldn't remember anything clearly.

Du Siyin just doubts for a moment, then put it behind him.

"Which one of you is the best to that girl?" Du Siyin joked to them.

Xu Mei not happy to curl his mouth, "Xu Jing, he used to be good with his sister."

This surprised Du Siyin. He thought it was Xu Mei and Xu Yue who would argue that it was him.

It's getting late. Du Siyin asks cicada to take three boxes of rouge inside.

"These bright colors and ingenious styles are most suitable for young men of cardamom's age. These three boxes are Rouges from zhenbaofang. The color is too peach powder. My brother-in-law is too old to put on his face. Here you are."

"You two choose first, and take the rest to Jinger's younger brother."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Xu Mei immediately picks it up, but Xu Yue just takes advantage of Xu Mei's opening the lid to have a look and takes another one.

When the new husband comes in, he attaches importance to his parents and is friendly, but the most important thing is the attitude of the wife.

If the wife's master likes to respect, the husband will respect, but if the wife's master hates to despise, the husband won't have to give him a good face.

If she treats these three younger brothers well, he treats them well too.

On the way back, Xu Yue asked who was going to deliver rouge.

Xu Mei said angrily, "if you want to go, I won't go! It's weird day by day. Who owes him money? "

Xu Yue muttered: "who let you bully him when you were a child?"

So Xu Yue went to yueyun's yard and handed the rouge to Xu Jing.

"It's from my brother-in-law. It's the rouge from zhenbaoge. It's very good in color and aroma. I've specially reserved the best one for you."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing didn't have a smiling face and said, "thank you."

Xu Yue didn't care and left. He also can't see Xu Jing turn back to the room, a box of rouge fell to the ground, broken.

The author has something to say: there are a lot of words today, so it's a little late. Everybody.
