Those who had bribed the accountant with small favors and misappropriated the property in the house had a sloppy step and wandering eyes, fearing that the accountant would turn them in.

Then he thought again: The accountant had confessed to them, and he himself couldn't get over it.

So I took a chance and hoped that the accounting office would not give them away.

Ziyao finally sent away the people sent by the Sun family to pick up the girl. When she returned to Yixiang Pavilion, she found that the girl was not there. The little girl who was sweeping the house said that she had gone to the front yard.

I'm quite puzzled: The girl usually never leaves the front door, so why did she go to the front yard today?

But he didn't take it seriously.

She ran twice in the backyard early in the morning and was very tired. She sat down to take a breath and poured herself a cup of the best spring tea for the girl. After drinking it, she sat at the table with her forehead propped up and took a nap.

Until the chatter of the sweeping maids came from outside the window:

"I heard that the accountant made false accounts and was discovered by the girl."

"Really? Fortunately, nothing happened to us."

"Xu Da is afraid it will be miserable."

"Mr. Luo in Madam's Courtyard has also withdrawn money several times, but has not paid it back."

"It's okay that I haven't paid it back. I'm afraid that it will instigate the accounting department to make false accounts. The girl is angry today. Isn't it the false accounts that she is checking?"

When Ziyao heard this, she felt so happy that she stood up, rushed to the courtyard, and asked the two little maids who were lazy and gossiping:

"Who did you two say that the girl went to check the accounts?"

"Miss Zi, Ziyao!"

The two little maids were startled and quickly stood up to salute her.

"Speak quickly!" Ziyao asked urgently, "Who told you that the girl is checking the accounts?"

"Yes, it's Miss Ziyuan. She went to the dining room to say hello and said that Mr. Accountant's meal for today will be delivered to the study. The girl asked him to make sure to check the accounts clearly. He is not allowed to leave the study until he has done so."

"..."

Ziyao was shocked.

Reconciliation?

Accounting?

It’s over, it’s over!

She seemed to have borrowed money twice. Once, her parents came to ask her to borrow money with a shy face. They said that the harvest in her hometown had been poor in the past two years and the family was in a tight situation. Her two brothers had not been able to marry a wife when they were old. No gift money.

But she didn't have money either. There was food and drink in Xu's house, so she used her monthly money to buy silk flowers and hairbands, and occasionally bought a piece of Qinghezhai snacks to satisfy her cravings. How could she save the next month's money. I had to use the girl's name to go to the accountant and withdraw twenty taels.

The second time was when her nephew was ill and his family couldn't afford the money for medical treatment, so he came to her to borrow money.

There was a credit record once, but this time she was bolder and went directly to the accountant to pay fifty taels, giving twenty taels to the family and keeping the remaining thirty taels for herself as pocket money.

Afterwards, she stuffed a small silver fruit that fell out of the girl's jewelry box into the accountant's daughter, and asked the accountant to wipe out her two accounts.

A year has passed since this incident, and she has almost forgotten it.

At this moment, she suddenly heard that the girl was checking the accounts. She was worried, for fear of being punished by the girl to wash the room.

The first year she entered the Xu Mansion, she worked as a laundry worker, and she really couldn't stand the poverty there.

Especially in winter, after soaking in cold water for a long time, my hands are covered with chilblains, which are itchy and painful.

Later, because she was good at talking and made the girl very happy, the lady transferred her to the girl's yard.

Later, through her own efforts, she became the girl's maid.

If she was asked to go back to the laundry room now, how could she bear it?

Ziyao came out of Lunxiang Garden anxiously, pretending to have something to find the girl, and came to the front yard.

Seeing two rows of guards standing in the front yard carrying sticks and looking solemn, Ziyao's legs felt a little weak. Wouldn't the girl order the guards to beat people to death with sticks as soon as she found out there was something wrong with the account?

"Zi Yuan, where is the girl? I have something to report."

Seeing Zi Yuan guarding the door of the study, Ziyao pretended to be calm and walked through the human wall formed by the guards and came to the outside of the study.

"You came just in time."

Xu Yin's cold voice came from the room, "I was just going to ask you, when did I ask you to come to the accountant to pay money?"

When Zi Yuan heard this, her head was in chaos, and there were only two words in her mind: It's over!

It’s really over!

Xu Yin was worried that she couldn't find a reason to offend this arrogant maid, but she didn't expect that she would hand over the excuse herself.

Using his master's name, he came to the cashier's office more than once to withdraw money, and then secretly asked the cashier to erase the account.

Not to mention that this happened in ancient times when the master could sell or even beat slaves to death at will, in modern times she would have to bear criminal responsibility.

Zi Yuan fell softly to the ground and begged: "Girl, give me a chance to change my ways! Don't beat me to death! I am willing to stay by my girl's side and work as a horse for the rest of my life to repay her..."

Xu Yin: "..."

Better not! How can you repay this? It's clearly Huo Huo.

Anyone who colludes with the accounting office, whether it is smoothing out the accounts, or making false or forged accounts, will be sent to the government.

She is a good citizen who has grown up under the red flag and abides by the law, so she will not be lynched.

As for the nursing home?

That's for intimidation.

In one day, Xu Yin found out all the servants in the house who were greedy for the master's money, and completely eliminated this unhealthy trend.

Mr. Accountant, who surrendered and reported meritoriously, was not sent to see the official since his merits were equal to his merits. But she did not continue to retain him. She would not dare to entrust such a person with important responsibilities.

It’s okay if we can’t find the accountant for the time being, she will do the job.

When the old housekeeper heard about it, he was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his jaw: "Girl, you said you would be the accountant? This... old slave didn't listen, right?"

"I'm just doing it part-time. I'll wait until I find a suitable accountant and then hand it over to the accountant."

Xu Yin said, lazily getting up from the chair.

I started a digital battle as soon as I put it on. I was really tired after a busy day.

"Zi Yuan, let the dining room make a simple bowl of noodle soup for dinner. I'll go back and make a hot soup to relieve my fatigue."

"Yes, girl."

The housekeeper looked at the girl's walking back and wondered: Could it be that the master and his wife have been teaching the girl how to do business in private? After all, this family will be handed over to the girl from now on.

If the girl really knows the accounting job, what else is there to worry about? Not to mention both, the girl can hold her as long as she wants.

The housekeeper stroked his gray beard, shook his head and thought about it.

The next day, Xu Mansion bought a new batch of servants.

Although it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, a long list was sent to the government yesterday, and a lot of work has no one to do it.

When the tooth man delivered it, the housekeeper asked Xu Yin to come and take a look.

Xu Yin asked them what they knew.

Everyone said something about what they were good at.

When it was the turn of a young man who was tall and thin, with a long scar on his face that cut his good face in half, he lowered his head and answered, "I once learned to calculate accounts from my father."

The voice is very soft.

It seemed that speaking too loudly would easily cause everyone to stop and look back, laughing at his disfigured face.

Xu Yin couldn't help but think of Taoyuanxing's life, where she had lived with a disfigured face for a long time. She felt a little sad and said to the housekeeper:

"Let him work in the accounting room for a few days, and I will see the results. If he is successful, he will stay in the accounting room and work in the accounting room. The account books will be sent to me every month."

Everyone else will be arranged by the butler.

Only one maid was admitted to her Longxiang Garden, to replace Ziyao who left. Xu Yin named her Hongqian.

Purple irises, red madder, one purple and one red, big purple and big red.

Xu Yin is full of confidence in the fragrance business she is about to develop.
