When they came out of the Feng Residence, they coincidentally happened to be at Xie Jingxi's usual nap time. After they had overslept, they called Bai Cao over to have a chat.

Bai Cao was cute and lovable, Ming Yu laughed blurrily, the two girls together seemed to be like a stage, chattering non-stop, Bai Cao pulled Ming Yu and asked: "Hey, how does our wife's hair come tied up, it's so pretty."

Ming Yu laughed mischievously, "It's not mine."

"What kind of paste does our Madam usually use to wipe her face? How can she be so tender?"

Ming Yu laughed again, "Actually, we ladies don't wash our faces. We don't need to put on any bandages from the start."

"Ah?" "Really? Then I won't wash my face anymore. I've even asked someone to specially reward me for being so blind and for being such a good plaster."

Xie Jingxi chuckled, "Don't listen to her. I'll just give you some of my usual bandages when I return, that's because she doesn't like to wash her face. She only wants everyone in the world to follow her and not wash their faces."

Bai Cao opened her mouth wide, "Ha? "If you don't wash your face, then …" She was just about to say that it was still a woman, afraid that Ming Yu would be provoked, so she said shamelessly, "Then she also looks quite fair."

"You don't have to leave her any face, Ming Yu has a child's personality, she doesn't treat herself as a girl at all. When she meets someone she likes in the future, she will naturally wash her face."

Bai Cao could not hold back and smiled as she bent her waist, "Madam's place is really fun, I even want to come in and be Madam's little girl."

"It's not easy for you to come here to play. Just come here if you have nothing to do, but I have something to trouble you with today."

Speaking of serious matters, Bai Cao immediately stopped joking around, "What is Madam trying to say, we were originally here to solve Madam's problem."

"Xie Jingxi invited Bai Cao to sit opposite of her," You grew up in the capital, so you should be familiar with it. Do you know how many sets of Medicine Hall there are in the capital?

Without even thinking about it, Bai Cao directly replied, "Madam, you asked the right person, look at my name, if it wasn't for my parents pulling me down, I would have already gone to the Medicine Hall to help them. It's because they thought that a girl like me who couldn't learn that thing would only be a medicine boy for the rest of my life, but I just loved the smell inside the Medicine Hall, so when I had nothing else to do, I loved to go through the Medicine Hall to help them."

Ming Yu looked at Bai Cao in confusion after hearing what she said, "Your hobby is indeed strange, but I can understand why. I've wanted to stay in the pastry shop since I was young, wishing I could never come out again."

Bai Cao patted Ming Yu's shoulder sympathetically, "This ambition is pretty good, next time I'll bring you to eat all the pastry shops in the capital."

"Ah?" Really? Young lady, I'm sorry, Ming Yu will abandon you and leave.

Xie Jingxi, "..."

Oh, Medicine Hall, there are a total of three top ranked Medicine Hall in the capital, one is the oldest Hall of Virtue, one is the oldest known leader, one is the Changchun Hall, one is a equal split with the Hall of Virtue, and another is called Qing Bao. I'm guessing that Eldest Young Master has not even had the time to tell you where it came from, and that it was collected a few years ago by Eldest Young Master, and is considered his own family, so the other three families have a total of four Marquis Mansion s, so Yuecao Hall s can be considered as one family.

Bai Cao then told her about the Medicine Hall in the capital, and even the families backing them, there was actually a house in the Lady Zou, but it was unknown, and was not as famous as Xie Jingxi had guessed. That was strange, since it was a Medicine Hall that did not have any reputation, why would Lady Li bother asking for her medicine?

Although the small Medicine Hall under her name is not that big, she has raised it quite a bit in the past few years. Originally, she was not very famous, but today, she has quite a bit of prestige among some of the other wives and grandmothers. If the Medicine Hall of the Second House was in the hands of Young Madam Zou in the past, it would not have been a loss at all.

As long as the quality of the ingredients is not bad, and there's no lack of people to scam, even if they're not well-known names, they shouldn't be too bad. Lady Zou wandered among these wives and grandmothers, and it would be fine to take their route, but the prerequisite was that the value of the ingredients for the Medicine Hall should at least be complete, or else they should not worry about face, and definitely not joke about their own illness.

She thought for a moment before writing a few notes and handing them to Hundred Herbs. "Just now, you said that the Changchun Medicine Hall hasn't been in existence for long and can develop so quickly, so I think the ingredients in this prescription should be quite complete. I think you should find a way to find out if they have any.

Just as Bai Cao was about to say that there was some rare medicine that the young master couldn't find, she saw that Xie Jingxi was not just looking for the medicine, she didn't ask for anything and kept the prescription, "Please rest assured Madam, leave this matter to me."

"One more thing." Xie Jingxi took out the account summary that Manager Li gave her and handed it over to Bai Cao, "Can you see any problems with this?"

Bai Cao looked carefully, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong, why don't I let Sister-in-law Zhang take a look?"

Xie Jingxi knew that Bai Cao was being cautious, and nodded her head, "Ming Yu will go and invite Zhang Shuang over."

Bai Cao was young, but her actions were steady and she was not the least bit reckless. Xie Jingxi secretly thought in her heart, and then came over and picked up the summary, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

Xie Jingxi nodded her head, "It's just the monthly expenses for the previous year and the year before, I originally wanted to take a break and take charge of the future accounts using the regular accounts, so I had the residence write such a summary. I looked at it for a long time but still couldn't find anything, so I wanted to show it to the both of you."

Zhang Mo thought about the meaning behind Xie Jingxi's words, either she did not see through it, or she did not know if it was true or not, but if she was really suspicious, why not just come and look at the accounts, even if it was a smooth accounting, there was still a trace of doubt.

"Madam, just looking at the expenses doesn't mean anything, for a family like this, no matter how much money you spend every month, it would be normal, but if you combine it with your income, it would make you realize your profit and loss at a glance. I don't know if you know anything about the family's business, just looking at this, it should be considered normal, it's not too extravagant, as long as your income remains stable, your future bill should be similar to this."

Bai Cao continued, "However, if the price has changed, then it might be different."

That year, my food production was especially scarce, causing the price of rice to rise severely over half a year from then. As you know, as long as the price of rice increases, other prices will only rise along with the trend, and I remember that when the drought strikes, many families in the capital would have stocked up with rice grains, so I believe that there should be a Marquis Mansion. "

After looking at the bill, Xie Jingxi felt that it was extremely stable, the more she looked at it, the more suspicious she felt. She never expected the two people to see through the crux of the matter.

After saving up the food, just based on the price and quantity of food, he could already do a lot of things, even without considering this, but since he had saved up the food, then his monthly expenses would be reduced by a bit. Adding that the price at the time was unattainable, there wouldn't be much less monthly expenses, but looking at the amount of spending, it seemed like there wouldn't be much difference between every month for the year and half.

It was one thing, since the prices were unattainable during the disaster, but there was a clear track record for the past two years. However, the expenditure on the accounts did not seem to have changed too much, and there was still a little bit more. When she thought about how she had said a few days ago that she had to meet the needs of the various houses due to the problem of food, her monthly expenses would definitely increase by a lot. As long as she did not control herself, it would cost a lot more silver, so even if her Marquis Mansion was not insufficient to support her, the housekeeper's unfavorable hat would inevitably fall on her head.

What Xie Jingxi could not understand was that within the Marquis Mansion, who would look at her so displeasedly and had to go through so much trouble to scheme against her. If it was only the Marquis' Wife who did not want her to rule, it would not be like this. Furthermore, it seemed that there was no need for Marquis' Wife to lack Marquis Mansion. As for Xie Jingqi, she did not have the ability, if there was, Xie Jingxi would be the first to suspect her. After all, she did not have the ability, but she could not handle the fact that there were many capable people, and with Lady Xu behind her, it would be different.

"Madam, if I were to say that, it would be better for you to take a look at the accounts of Marquis Mansion. Bai Cao seemed to be extremely confused about Xie Jingxi not looking at the account books.

Xie Jingxi only smiled after hearing this. The problem now was not whether or not she was at a disadvantage, but that she had no idea how many hidden talents were hidden in her Marquis Mansion. She was even unsure of who the other party was, and openly checked her accounts. Last time, if she was unable to hold back and punished those two manager lady, then not to mention the other two, the first would be the Sin Lady Zeng, and the leader would use her capable stewards to attack on the first day.

"Of course I know. When the time comes, I will have to trouble you."

"Madam, don't always be polite with us, it's only natural."

"I'm not going to be polite with you guys, and as for the things I'm giving you, you guys shouldn't refuse."

The two accounts had asked for a lot of rewards from Xie Jingxi, but they were not willing to take it again. would always return it back to them, since she had troubled people when she was doing something, she would have to reward them. If she did not accept it, then she would not trouble them anymore, and so, the two of them could not refuse it.

As soon as the two of them left, someone sent a gift box over. There was no name on the box, only the word 'Spirit Embroidery'.
