The room became quiet, Su Rong sat on the chair and sighed.
Yuewan tiptoed in and looked at her, "Miss, why are you sighing?"
Su Rong glanced at her and asked instead, "How did you learn?"
The moon wilted, "It's so difficult."
Su Rong thought to herself that it was not difficult, considering Yue Wan's unintelligent head, it was not surprising that it was not difficult. She encouraged her, "Eat more walnuts to nourish your brain."
Yuewan nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss, my monthly salary is as much as that of Queen Mother. I must study hard, otherwise Madam will drop my monthly salary." After she finished speaking, she sighed, " I didn’t take the extra two taels of silver before, so I didn’t think anything of it, but now that I’ve taken more, I don’t want to be reduced.”
Su Rong laughed and commented, "My mother manages the family well."
Yue Wan pouted, "Miss, can you still laugh? When the eldest master comes back so early, is he trying to beat you and young master Zhou?"
The corner of Su Rong's mouth twitched, and she stretched out her hand to knock Yue Wan on the forehead, "Don't say anything if you don't know how to speak."
She and Zhou Gu were not lovers yet, and they couldn't be beaten with a stick.
Yue Wan smiled and said, "Miss, how have you been getting along with Mr. Zhou these past two days? Is it good?"
"It's not bad!" Su Rong was a little depressed, "My eldest brother came back before I even made him fall in love with me. If my eldest brother comes back a few days later, it would be nice to give me more time..."
Yuewan opened her eyes wide, "How do you seduce people?"
"If you want to capture his heart, capture his stomach first? If you want to improve his status in his heart, first make him recognize our relationship intentionally or unintentionally? If you want him to care about me, give him more surprises?" Su Rong continued. Several strategies were mentioned.
Yuewan admired her, "Miss, you are really amazing."
She doesn't know these things!
Su Rong straightened her back reservedly, "It's pretty awesome!" After she finished speaking, she lowered her face again, lay on the table, and muttered, "Why do I have a big brother?"
Yuewan would answer this question: "The doctor gave birth to me."
Su Rong: "..."
She was speechless and stood up, "I won't say any more. I'm sleepy. I asked someone to bring me some water. I took a shower and fell asleep."
Yue Wan nodded, stood up and asked the kitchen to bring water.
After taking a bath, Su Rong stopped thinking about it, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soon.
The next day, after breakfast, Su Xingze went to the guest house in person and said that from today on, he would accompany Zhou Gu and ask Zhou Gu where he wanted to go.
Zhou Gu was surprised, "Brother Su, will you accompany me?"
"Um."
"Where's Su Rong?"
"She is learning to run a household at home."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He wanted to know why Su Rong suddenly became so eager to learn.
He asked tentatively: "You shouldn't be in a hurry to learn to be a master, right?"
Su Xingze said: "Did the girl from the Duke Protector's Mansion start learning to be a bookkeeper when she was seven or eight years old? Because of her mother's connivance, Qimei never restrained her from learning these things. She always thought she was still young, but she didn't expect it to happen in a blink of an eye. It’s almost time for haircuts, so it’s already a bit late to start learning now, so naturally we can’t delay any longer.”
Zhou Gu thought about how his sister and cousin seemed to have started learning these things from her mother at a very young age, and was speechless for a moment, "Grandpa said that we should get along more and develop relationships..."
Su Xingze smiled lightly, "There are so many marriages in the world that are based on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and we don't see each other until the wedding day. The old official is clear, and our prefect's office naturally has to cooperate. But my sister has to learn to run the family. , so I will accompany you. Anyway, since you live in the prefect’s mansion, you will have time to meet and talk during the day.”
Zhou Gu understood what Su Xingze meant when he heard this, which was to stop Su Rong from going out with him every day. What else could he say? He could only smile and nod, "That's fine. Su Rong took me to Maple Leaf River, Phoenix Mountain, and Peach Blossom Stream. I don't know where to go next, but I'll let Brother Su arrange it!"
Su Xingze nodded, "These places are all places to visit. After going to these places, you almost don't need to go anywhere else to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangning. Well, I'll take you out to meet a few friends and make friends through literature. They all It’s Jin Qiu who wants to take the scientific examination.”
Zhou Gu thought about it and nodded happily, "Okay."
There are talented people in Jiangning, and Su Xingze specially brought him to know the people. They should all be quite talented. If they take the opportunity to recruit them into the East Palace, they will be nominated for the gold list in the future. It will be the East Palace's help. Although the prince did not specifically explain it when he came, he had no intention of interfering. It's okay for Liu to follow the trend. Just like Ning Chi, isn't it an unexpected gain?
Su Rong lazily accompanied the eldest lady to study the business. She heard that Su Xingze had taken Zhou Gu out of the house to meet friends with literature. She thought that Zhou Gu would be very happy. After all, he also told Ning Chi frankly that he As a half-donggong person, she was not suitable to do such matchmaking, but Su Xingze had no problem doing it.
She said "Huh" and sincerely suggested to the eldest lady, "Mother, I think that even if you don't count on me, but on my eldest brother, you can get a royal title in the future. He will definitely be named on the gold list and beat my sisters." , I will successfully marry into a good family."
"Why do you say that?" The eldest lady turned her head and looked at her while flipping through the account book.
"Because, my eldest brother is very manipulative of people's hearts." Su Rong said: "Look, he said he would take Zhou Gu to meet friends, so Zhou Gu followed him happily. Just like if you let the horse work, you will It’s the same as giving the horse the forage it wants to eat.”
The eldest lady scolded her, "What a metaphor."
"That's what it means anyway."
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead, "Don't talk too much and quickly look at the account book. You have been reading this account book for a long time. Do you see any tricks?"
Su Rong nodded, "I see, Manager Hu made fake accounts and asked you to defraud money. He must have a real account book in his hand. Mother, please send someone to call Manager Hu! Let him come up with the real account book." If he refuses to take the account and acknowledge it, you will marry the maid his son likes to someone else."
The eldest lady was stunned, "What nonsense are you talking about? How come this is a false account?"
"Look at this, look at this again. Although the numbers in the two accounts are correct, the discrepancies are not correct. No matter how flawless the accounts are, they are still false accounts." Su Rong placed the account book in front of the eldest lady, "Mother, I think I There’s no need to learn, I’m born with a keen eye, so there’s no need to waste this time.”
The eldest lady looked at it carefully for a moment, thought for a while, and then her expression changed, "That's not true."
She was immediately angry and said, "Someone, go and call me Manager Hu!"
After she finished her instructions, she turned to look at Su Rong. She didn't even notice the account, but Su Rong saw it. Naturally, she wouldn't let him go. He immediately piled a large pile of account books in front of her, "You're the governor of us?" Show me the government's accounts and find out all the problematic accounts, and I won't force you to learn."
Su Rong: "..."
Misstep!
