Qu Qing Ju flipped through the account book in her hand. After flipping for a while, she smiled at Xiao Gan Zi who was standing below: "You've done very well these past few days." Finishing, she motioned for Mu Jin to give a pouch to Xiao Gan Zi.
"They say that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I know that there is more or less an exaggeration in this," Qu Qing Ju closed the account book and raised a teacup to slowly take a sip. Seeing the smile on Xiao Gan Zi's face freeze, she laughed lightly, "You can subdue the ambitions of the stewards under you, that's a skill. Don't be nervous, I know what they do."
Xiao Gan Zi's back felt a chill but he smiled fawningly on the surface. He said: "Wang fei is a master strategist. This little one is just a joke. It's just that the wang fu is complicated, sometimes it really is … …" He didn't know what to say. After all, he had received some benefits in private. Looking at wang fei's demeanor, she probably knew it.
Qu Qing Ju nodded: "You did very well, I'm not worried."
The anger in his heart instantly dissipated. Xiao Gan Zi's expression was excited as he said: "Please, wang fei, don't worry, this one will definitely do a good job."
"En," Qu Qing Ju rewarded him with some more fruits and pastries before letting him leave. As to the account book, she didn't look at it again, handing it straight to Mu Jin's hands.
"Wang fei, these people have tainted the money, why don't you punish them?" Yin Liu asked in puzzlement.
"Why force people to a dead end, it's not good to go too far," Qu Qing Ju smiled as she replied, "Everything in the world has a limit. Without benefits, who would be willing to work?"
"If they don't do a good job, just punish them," Yin Liu's tone had weakened, but she was still dissatisfied with some of the greedy people.
"There is always a way out, you have to change your personality," Qu Qing Ju said, "It's just a small matter, there's no need to waste so much effort."
Hearing this, Yin Liu obediently curtsied: "Nubi will remember."
Qu Qing Ju liked this quality of Yin Liu. Her personality might be impulsive but she was extremely obedient, and her loyalty was unquestionable. Seeing her serious expression, Qu Qing Ju smiled, "All right, accompany me for a walk in the garden."
Xiao Gan Zi held the fruits that wang fei had given him and walked in the garden with a face full of smiles. The servants he met were all polite. Seeing the things he was holding in his hands, they kept on praising that the fruits looked fresh.
"Of course it's good stuff. Wang fei is kind. Seeing that I was tired from running, she bestowed it down for me to try," Xiao Gan Zi carefully held the fruit in his pocket as he said good things about wang fei. The people around him nodded furiously.
In the distance, He Heng, with Qian Chang Xin, Ming He and a few other servants, looked at the scene for a while before commenting: "This Xiao Gan Zi is smart. No wonder wang fei likes to ask him to do things."
Qian Chang Xin's eyebrows slightly moved as he said: "A few days ago, wang fei said that Xiao Gan Zi is worthy of coming out with wang ye, his brain and legs are both very good."
"That's a compliment," He Heng smiled, "It's not easy for wang fei to manage the affairs of the fu. I saw that the invitations that were sent to her usually could be put into a basket. The matters of houyuan aren't as simple as the ones in front."
As a personal taijian, Qian Chang Xin saw that wang ye was becoming more and more attentive towards wang fei. He himself was becoming more and more respectful towards wang fei. He was afraid that he would offend wang fei and cause wang ye to be dissatisfied. For wang ye to say such things, it could be seen how much importance he placed on wang fei. Otherwise, he would have seen what wang fei did. In the past, he had never seen wang ye care so much about the matters of houyuan.
"Nubi greets wang ye." A low and gentle voice sounded behind him. Qian Chang Xin turned his head to look. It was a lowly yahuan wearing a coarse cloth dress with dark yellow skin. He instantly frowned. Which ignorant yahuan from the outer yard had come to wang ye? When the other yahuan saw their mistress, they would carefully avoid her. Who would purposefully come up?
"Stand up, where are you from, and why are you here?" This was the inner part of the second gate. Coarse yahuan couldn't come in if they didn't have business.
"Qian gonggong, nubi is from the laundry room. The mama responsible for delivering the clothes is sick. Nubi is taking the clothes to Luo yiniang on her behalf." The yahuan bowed, her voice still sweet.
Qian Chang Xin felt the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. He carefully looked at wang ye. Seeing his expressionless face, he knew that wang ye was slightly impatient. He was about to open his mouth to chase away this yahuan who didn't know her place. Who knew that before he could speak, he saw wang fei coming from another direction with a few yahuan.
"Greetings to wang ye!"
"Greetings to wang fei!"
The servants on both sides greeted at the same time. Qu Qing Ju smiled as she walked in front of He Heng. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the lowly yahuan five steps away, "I saw that the weather was good and came to walk around the garden. I didn't think that wang ye would be here."
"I just finished my business and came back," He Heng smiled as he pulled her hand, pretending that the coarse yahuan standing next to him didn't exist, "The weather is good today, I'll walk with you … …"
"Alright," Qu Qing Ju's eyes moved as though she just saw a coarse yahuan standing not far away. She opened: "Where are you from, raise your head for me to see."
When this yahuan raised her head, she saw that the features weren't bad, but the careless hairstyle and rough skin suppressed the delicateness. She raised an eyebrow, "Why does she look so familiar?"
At this time, Qian Chang Xin recognized the person. Wasn't this the first-rank yahuan of wang fei that had become wang ye's tong fang, Ban Xia? He had heard that Ban Xia had been demoted by wang fei to the laundry room. Right now, she didn't look as sweet and lovely as before.
"Wang fei, nubi sees that she seems to be the Ban Xia that once served wang ye and you," Mu Jin curtsied and said in a voice that wasn't too loud or too quiet, "Did you forget? A few days ago, she had committed a great crime. Wang fei, you were kind and didn't kick her out, but only punished her to the laundry room. "
Qu Qing Ju had an expression of realization as she swept her gaze over Ban Xia from head to toe. If Ban Xia was said to be a beautiful flower in full bloom, then she had already withered at this moment.
Ban Xia lowered her head in embarrassment and unconsciously took a step back. She hadn't thought that she would encounter wang fei dressed magnificently. Even the yahuan at wang fei's side was more beautiful than her right now. This clear contrast made her want to bury herself so no one could see her.
He Heng carelessly glanced at Ban Xia, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Since you are from the laundry room, then work well in the laundry room. Don't wander around the fu."
The rims of Ban Xia's eyes reddened. A beat later, she trembled as she bowed: "Nubi will remember."
"Leave," Ever since he had grown closer to Qu Qing Ju, he didn't have much interest in the women of the houyuan. Even more, looking at the normal woman in front of him, he couldn't even remember what Ban Xia had looked like in the beginning.
Seeing that wang ye and wang fei were going to stroll in the garden, Ming He personally led Ban Xia away. After they came out of the second door, he smiled coldly at Ban Xia, "I say, Ban Xia guniang, behave yourself in the future." He pointed at the Door of Drooping Flowers, "This door isn't for people like you to enter."
Ban Xia's body stumbled but she gritted her teeth and didn't speak.
"Don't blame your Ming grandpa for not telling you clearly. If you continue to play these despicable tricks, you won't be walking out yourself," Ming He disdainfully examined her, "Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror. With wang fei here, would wang ye look at someone like you? You don't find it embarrassing, but Ming grandpa, I, am embarrassed to look. "Finishing, he shook his sleeves and leisurely strolled into the second door.
Ban Xia dazedly stared at his back, her eyes deathly still.
If one had to say who was the proudest in Jing these past few days, other than Rui Wang, there was no one else. The Jiang Nan case that had caused such a ruckus had been silently suppressed like this. He had also been cleared of the suspicion of assassinating his brother. Even the laoda that he hated the most had been imprisoned.
Rui Wang felt that it was rare for him to be this happy. So even when he saw his wang fei's expressionless face, his mood didn't change.
"Speak, what is it this time?" He Yuan sat down at the front, glancing at Qin Bai Lu who had a dark face.
Qin Bai Lu saw that he wasn't serious and bit the corner of her lips before replying: "Tomorrow is qie's father's birthday. Does wang ye have time … …"
"Since it's your father's birthday, open the fu treasury and bring back more gifts," He Yuan stood, "Tomorrow ben wang still has matters to attend to and won't accompany you. Sleep early tonight, ben wang will go to Xi Yuan."
Qin Bai Lu looked at He Yuan's back, her eyes slowly becoming cold. Xi Yuan again, Qu Yue Su that whore!
"Wang fei," The yahuan supporting her looked worriedly at her.
"It's nothing. Send the order. Ben wang fei is going to check the fu treasury." She smiled coldly. He wasn't willing to go, she wouldn't beg him.
In Duan Wang Fu, Qu Qing Ju and He Heng finished strolling in the yard. After the two had dinner, they sat together to read. It was just that one person was reading a high class book, the other was reading a story book.
After reading for a while, He Heng saw that Qu Qing Ju's face was filled with anger. He put down the book in his hand and walked in front of her to ask: "What is written in this book to make you so angry?"
Qu Qing Ju slammed the book shut, her voice carrying a hint of anger as she said: "The man in this story is too fickle. The two had been together for more than a decade but couldn't compare to the tenderness of a young girl. In the end, he divorced his first wife and blamed her for not understanding romance. When he was studying and had no money, he didn't say so when he had to rely on his first wife to support him. When he had just become a superior official and left his children and elders at home for his first wife to take care of, he didn't say so. When he reached a high position and power, he felt that his first wife wasn't good at everything. But the man in this story is the main character. The author's point of view is disgusting. "
He Heng took the book from her hands, smiling as he said: "It's just a story, there's no need to get angry over such a thing. Life is lived by oneself, the final result is controlled by one's own hands. "He looked disdainfully at the name of the author on the page," Master Shangguan? Usually, people with this kind of name are poor scholars. They don't have betrothal gifts, they can't get a wife, and they don't have the ability to pass the scholarly exams. They rely on writing these things to earn money and satisfy their fantasies. Let's not lower ourselves to the level of this useless man, be good. "
Qu Qing Ju snorted.
Be good your entire family!
