Chapter 60 Uncle
Let her go to the accounting room to prevent her from getting in his way.
So that's how it is.
Lin Huazhi smiled and looked at Cui Shuang and said, "I'm just a girl. I can do whatever the master tells me to do. I can't be picky. Besides, it is a big deal to buy a betrothal gift, but we can't lose our Chen family. We should send a steady person. In this east courtyard, I really can't find a second person except Ruyi.
After saying that, I saw Cui Shuang's face change, and Lin Huazhi ignored her. She glanced at Cui Shuang and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Last time Yan Shaobai sent her to buy rouge gouache, she probably didn't have any good intentions. It seems that Yan Shaobai understands that she is at odds with Cui Ting. It's just that this man doesn't say anything. Does he look down on her too much, or does he think he can handle everything? Or in Yan Shao's white eyes, she only has the shadow of someone?
However, Lin Huazhi did not pay attention to this matter. If she had to choose, she would rather go to the accounting room than buy a bride price for Cui Ting. Be busy so that she won't feel sad when she thinks that the woman will occupy everything she has.
Hearing that she was going to the accounting room, Xing'er looked excited: "Sister Huazhi, this shows that the master really cares you. In fact, since the last food shortage, I have found that the master is more and more dependent on you. It seems that you can also sit in the position of stew in just a few years. The more Xing'er said, the more excited she became, and her eyes were bright.
Lin Huazhi smiled and patted Xing'er on the forehead: "Girl, don't dream. I will leave the house next year. How can I spend a few years in the Chen family? Besides, I don't care about the stew of Chen's house.
As soon as Xing'er heard this, she spit out her tongue: "Ah, you see, I forgot that you are different from me. I only signed a one-year work contract. You can leave the house next year. In fact, I also envy you.
Lin Huazhi saw that Xing'er's eyes seemed to be a little lonely and comforted her, "Don't envy me. How many people out there envy you? You see, others either signed a five-year deed or signed a death deed. In this year, to put it bluntly, I didn't mean anything. Although he is a waiter now, he has no worries about food and clothing, which is easier than living outside. After a few years, when you save enough money and find an honest person to marry, life will be better than ordinary people.
Xing'er knew that this was Lin Huazhi's deliberate pleasant words to comfort her, and laughed: "Sister Huazhi, is it fun to go to the accounting room?"
"That's a matter of doing business, not whether it's fun or not. Chenfu's family has a big business, and this account room is also divided into internal and external courtyards. The inner courtyard is mainly responsible for the operation of the house. Not to mention the complicated things, everything should be big and small, otherwise it will be troublesome for such a large family to eat and wear. The number of account books to be checked in this foreign court is huge. There are so many businesses in the Chen family. Although each shop has small account books, if you don't look carefully, you will be fooled by the people below. This business will be at a loss. Therefore, this account room is not a place where you can go in and out of play at will.
Xing'er looked surprised. She had never heard or thought about what Lin Huazhi said. After a while, Xing'er looked at Lin Huazhi sideways and looked admiringly: "Sister Huazhi, you are only two years older than me, but you know more than me. This person who has read books is different. Unlike me, he only knows a few words and has no knowledge.
Lin Huazhi touched her head and said softly, "It's not easy to learn calligraphy. When I go back to the house at night, I will teach you to read, but for a few months, I will take care of you to learn rich cars."
Xing'er smiled and poohed at her: "Sister Huazhi, you lied to me again. How can you become a learned person in a few months? If so, the master's books for more than 20 years will be read in vain.
Lin Huazhi couldn't help but be happy when she saw what she said.
The next day, Lin Huazhi went to the account room. Although she had not been in contact with Chen's business for more than half a year, she also had an account in her heart, more or less. She knew it better than others. However, in order not to be intimidated by the accountant, she pretended to enter the accounting room for the first time and pulled up Aunt Feng to ask her to mention her.
There is no leisure on Ruyi's side. Three days later, Yan Shaobai prepared cloth, cakes, dried fruits and other gifts, and asked the matchmaker to go to the Cui family to take the lottery. Perhaps because of the recent rumors in the city, Yan Shaobai did it in a low-key way and did not disturb others.
After paying the lottery, the following things are carried out in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Cui Ting is about to enter Chen Mansion a month later, some people are happy and some are sad. Du Yinglian came to the account room to find Lin Huazhi several times, but every time she came here in a bad way. It's not that Lin Huazhi ignored Du Yinglian. Really, she really didn't have time to pay attention to it.
Since Chen Suyue's death, he has not checked the accounts for half a year. This audit is heavier than before. It can be seen that Yan Shaobai is also taking care of the family business left by Chen Suyue. On the other hand, it may be related to Yan Shaobai's selfishness. With so many accounts to check and so many books to read, Lin Huazhi doesn't have time to toss around other things.
Du Yinglian also saw this and sighed: "He was determined to marry that woman and entered the door. He was afraid that woman would suffer a little grievance in our hands, so he sent you to this place and exhausted you."
Lin Huazhi couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Did Yan Shaobai really think so? She didn't want to know the answer, but she thought it could let her let go of everything and let Cui Ting take advantage of it for nothing.
Lin Huazhi smiled and said, "His calculation is ringing, but it is not necessarily good. Count the days, it should be almost soon."
What day? Who is coming?" Du Yinglian hurriedly asked. Looking at Lin Huazhi's appearance, she seemed to know what was going to happen.
Lin Huazhi blinked, with a mysterious face, but said nothing.
Du Yinglian stamped her feet anxiously and became more and more sure that Lin Huazhi had hidden something from her.
"No words, no words." Lin Huazhi didn't say anything, just let Du Yinglian wait patiently for a few days.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the stewer hurried into the east courtyard with a nervous face: "Sir, it's not good, uncle is here."
Lin Huazhi happened to have something to say to Yan Shaobai at this time. As soon as she heard the housekeeper's words, a smile quietly climbed up to the corners of her mouth, but then frowned and looked at Yan Shaobai's eyes a little deeper. I don't know what she was thinking.
Yan Shaobai was speechless for a long time. As soon as he heard that his uncle came, his eyebrows were locked and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Master." After not seeing Yan Shaobai speak for a long time, Lin Huazhi called him softly.
Yan Shaobai exhaled and said, "Please, uncle." After saying that, he left the east courtyard with a worried face.
Lin Huazhi only hesitated for a moment and followed quickly, tailing behind Yan Shaobai.
On the way, when she met Du Yinglian who came in a hurry, she was also surprised and asked Yan Shaobai puzzledly, "Is your uncle really here? Really? That's terrible." Du Yinglian's face was pale and nervous at this time. She looked at Yan Shaobai and Lin Huazhi, looking very uneasy.
Ruyi walking beside Lin Huazhi also whispered: "How can the clan people come at this time? And he is still my uncle. Alas, when he comes to Jiangdong Mansion, I'm afraid our good days will come to an end. After saying that, he sighed heavily.
Lin Huazhi was silent. Although she expected that the clan would send people from the beginning, she never thought that her uncle would come in person. Yan Shaobai was not only surprised, but also surprised.
In the main room, an old man squinted and sat in the main seat. He was wearing a black robe, embroidered with thin silver threads on his collar and cuffs, and his hair and eyebrows were white. From a distance, he felt a feeling of rejecting people for thousands of miles.
Yan Shaobai stopped at the door, took a deep breath, and then walked in slowly.
Three steps away from the old man, Yan Shaobai bowed and said, "Please say good to your uncle." After saying that, he knelt down and made a big salute.
Du Yinglian also hurriedly knelt down with Yan Shaobai, and the servants here dared not come out.
The room was very quiet. My uncle didn't say anything, and no one dared to get up.
After a long time, I heard my uncle say lightly, "Get up."
Yan Shaobai and Du Yinglian quickly got up from the ground and stood quietly, waiting for their uncle to speak. From beginning to end, my uncle's eyes did not open.
At this time, Cui Shuang brought hot tea, but stood outside but did not dare to go in. Seeing Lin Huazhi standing aside, he quickly stuffed the tea tray into her hand. Cui Shuang whispered, "Huazhi, send the tea in."
Lin Huazhi has no room to refuse. In fact, no one wants to replace her.
Looking around, Lin Huazhi had to walk over with tea.
She carefully put the tea on the table and did not dare to make a sound. She held her breath and was about to retreat quietly. Unexpectedly, her uncle suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
Lin Huazhi looked up at Yan Shaobai. Yan Shaobai looked blank. It was not his fault that the tea was sent by servants. Naturally, he didn't know what was in it.
Lin Huazhi glanced at the tea bowl, which was covered with a lid and could not see the tea inside. She gently moved her nose and whispered, "It's cloud tea."
Uncle nodded rarely, looked at Yan Shaobai, turned his eyes, and then asked, "Are you Du Huaishan's daughter? I've seen you."
As soon as Du Yinglian heard her uncle call her, she hurried forward and lowered her head and said, "Yes, uncle. When you had your birthday five years ago, I went to Jinfeng Mansion with my father.
My uncle sighed: "I still remember that at that time, you followed Su Yue, and you didn't dare to show your small appearance. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have grown into a big girl. How is your father? Can you promise me?"
"If you go back to your uncle, your father is in good physical well. Please bear in mind. I... I haven't been allowed to marry anyone yet." Speaking of the back, Du Yinglian's voice became lower and lower. She couldn't help looking at Yan Shaobai beside her.
"Uncle, you have worked hard all the way. The yard has been cleaned up, and I will accompany you to rest. Yan Shaobai said something in time without asking why his uncle suddenly came.
Uncle sat motionless. After listening to Yan Shaobai's words, he hummed, "Why, don't you welcome me? Are you unhappy that I'm here?
"I dare not be white. Uncle, you have worked hard all the way. I'm taking care of your body..."
Before Yan Shaobai finished speaking, his uncle interrupted him: "I'm in good body, and it won't be a problem to live for more than ten years. Yan Shaobai, if you have done such an ugly thing, do you still have the ancestors of the Chen family? His uncle asked him harshly, staring at Yan Shaobai.
Lin Huazhi looked at Yan Shaobai with some worry.

Li Na, come on.
