The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 559

Rui Ge'er was not in Shaohua Garden. Xiao Jin thought that business was more important, so he had to go to Shaohua Garden to meet Song Guanzhou first. He had only heard of this legendary young lady from other people before, but now that he met her in person, he felt that no matter how many words he said, they would all pale in front of the fairy-like and beautiful woman in front of him.

"Your subordinate Xiao Jin greets the young lady."

Song Guanzhou had heard Zhang Fanghui's introduction in a low voice, so he immediately came up to help Xiao Jin, who was bowing and saluting, and said, "Uncle Jin, you are too kind to me. I am young, and I am not worthy of such a great honor from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led him to sit down.

Xiao Jin met with everyone, and finally came to Qin Qingdong and Xu Lingbai, praising them repeatedly, "You two gentlemen have a good reputation that will be passed down through the ages. Wu Lang talks about them every day, and I wish I could come to the capital again to have a candlelit night talk with you two."

Qin Qingdong snorted and laughed, "Second Uncle Jin may not know that Xiao Cang, that bastard, annoys me the most."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Wu Lang has a bad temper. I'd like to ask Qin Erlang to be more tolerant." After meeting in the whole room, Song Guanzhou did not hesitate to ask Xiao Jin about the account book. Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Madam, may I have a word with you?"

That's natural.

Ren Dong led Xiao Jin into the guest room and served him hot tea. Song Guanzhou stopped Ren Dong who was about to leave and said, "Go get some paper and pen. I'm afraid I won't remember what my second uncle will tell me later, so I'd better write it down on paper to make it safer."

Lotus obeyed the order inside, while Honeysuckle went to the study to get the four treasures of the study.

Everyone looked at the guest room's door, which was half-open. The scene was very serious, which was beyond the imagination of Pei Shuyu, Mei Qingyu and even Xu Ling in her boudoir.

Outside, Uncle Liu was putting the boxes in order according to the seals on them.

Seeing that no one was interrupting him, Xiao Jin stood up and bowed, "Fourth Young Madam, this is a difficult matter. The First Master and the Third Master thought about it and decided that only the Young Madam could do this. Xiao Jin would like to thank you very much."

Song Guanzhou motioned him to sit down, "Second uncle and I don't have to be polite. Cang'er wrote to me and told me the situation, so I know about it. It's not easy to say this, I'm not familiar with the Xiao family's business, and it will take time to get familiar with clearing and checking the accounts. During this period, I will ask my cousin from the north and my cousin from my mother's side to help. But please give a message to the two uncles, I will do my best to issue the corresponding documents and data as soon as possible."

At this moment, Song Guanzhou was no longer lazy and coquettish in front of the women in the room. When it came to serious work, she was very serious.

Xiao Jin was nervous before coming.

It would certainly be inappropriate for an outsider to check the Xiao family's old accounts. If there are many problems in the accounts and others use them as handles, the consequences will be disastrous.

But what if we investigate it ourselves?

The Xiao family is not short of such talents, and the people led by Xiao Cang can also stand on their own.

However, the complex relationships involved are such that if we find out the important details, we might anger the people involved and cause the stolen goods to be destroyed without any evidence.

After Xiao Hongyun, the head of the Xiao clan, came to Beijing, she greatly admired Song Guanzhou's talent and character. This woman was chivalrous and broad-minded, and she rarely had the shyness of a boudoir woman.

Besides, she is good at calculation and investigation.

When Duke Pei Jian came to Jiangzhou, Xiao Hongyun mentioned this matter during his welcome ceremony. Pei Jian hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "If Guan Zhou can take it, I have no objection. But you should also know that Guan Zhou is a smart kid, but also lazy. To be honest, there are people in the capital who want to take action against her, and I'm afraid she is powerless."

Xiao Cang accidentally heard his uncle's words outside and rushed in, "Uncle, Guan Zhou will definitely agree, but you must not hide it from her. If I write a letter and tell her the important points, she will definitely agree."

"Why are you so sure?"

Xiao Cang raised his head and looked at his uncle and father with a firm look in his eyes, "Guan Zhou is a kind and righteous person. We are not only relatives but also close friends. If I ask her for this, she will definitely not refuse as long as she can do it."

Pei Jian pointed at Xiao Cang, feeling helpless.

"you……"

Xiao Hongyun held his forehead with his hand, "Asshole, she treated you sincerely, but you turned around and plotted against her."

"It's not a plot, it's a help. If Guan Zhou wants me to help, I will do my best to help him. Even if it means losing my life, I will not be afraid."

Naughty monkey!

Pei Jian shook his head and laughed, "Forget it. If you can persuade Guan Zhou, your uncle won't care about you two. But this matter should be kept secret in your house. After all, the investigation is related to the future of many people. If it affects other people's jobs, I'm afraid that the dog will jump over the wall and the fish will be destroyed."

"Thank you, uncle. I know."

Xiao Cang squinted his eyes, drank a glass of wine, and then let Mu Er and Mu San help him go back.

After returning to the study, he picked up a pen and wrote a long letter. After revising it a few times and recopying it, he went to Xiao Du's room with the help of Mu Er and Mu San, holding a lantern.

Xiao Du opened the letter and read it twice before looking up. "Uncle..., did you agree?"

"Of course we need his consent. Just say Guan Zhou is willing, and it will be done." Xiao Du frowned and watched his fifth brother writing the letter. "I'm afraid it will be more than one car."

Xiao Cang was full of confidence. "It was written that there could only be one truck. Guan Zhou agreed. She had no choice but to accept it even if three trucks were sent."

Xiao Du held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "If Guan Zhou could come, I'm afraid he would beat you up. You ordered her to do this, and it's urgent, around the New Year, no later than next year's Qingming Festival, tsk tsk! I can imagine how ugly your fourth cousin's face will be!"

"Neither can I."

Xiao Cang looked up and squinted at Xiao Du, "It's getting worse and worse. So many things have happened. Father and Third Uncle know the crux, but I can say, Big Brother, there are more than just a few people. We can only check the accounts."

"...I know, but it's not easy. Can Guan Zhou do it?"

Xiao Cang nodded heavily, "Guan Zhou is smart, and besides, Fourth Brother is in the mansion, Fourth Sister-in-law can also make calculations--"

"Asshole! Your fourth brother will take the imperial examination next spring, and your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant, how can she do these things?"

Xiao Du laughed in anger, "You have calculated everyone."

Xiao Cang scratched his neck and said, "If it weren't for the Xiao family's concealment, I would definitely have sent a few people to Guanzhou to work."

That was how it was settled, and someone was sent on horseback to deliver the letters to the mansion overnight, one for Xiao Bei and the other for Song Guanzhou.

Sure enough, Song Guanzhou discussed it with Pei An, met with Xiao Bei again, and finally sighed and agreed.

Pei An comforted Song Guanzhou, "Don't listen to Cang'er. There's no need to be so anxious. You can check it slowly. The accounts are done day by day, so there's no need to rush. I was thinking that you stay in the house, practicing calligraphy and reading storybooks all day long, and you don't have to socialize with other ladies and relatives, or do needlework. Life will be boring in the long run, so you might as well do something you like."

Song Guanzhou sighed, "That bastard Cang Ge'er promised me a three-story house in Jiangzhou. How could I not be tempted?"

I heard it's close to the mountains and the water, and still in the city.

Song Guanzhou leaned in Pei An's arms, "I love the house!"
