After Third Madame Xie came to the Dijing, he would look for Wen Jiu's fault every day. He only picked one out after staring for a few days.

Even his own son, the old lady beside him and her trusted aides had started to praise Wen Jiu well. Third Madame Xie couldn't help but to be a little swayed.

It just so happened that while Xie Xuan was taking the examination at the Academy, Xie Heng was outside the city again.

Third Madame Xie went to the accounts room, "Take out all the expense books in the house."

This manager's mother was extremely imposing.

Shiquan, who was in charge of the accounts, immediately smiled and came out to welcome them, "Young Madame has already given his instructions, Third Madame, please have a look."

"Have you finished explaining?"

Third Madame Xie was surprised.

Shiquan replied: "Yes, ever since you and the old lady came to the Dijing, Young Madame has instructed the people here to listen to the affairs of you and the old lady."

The account book and the matters in the residence had all been prepared beforehand.

Shiquan said: "Young Madame has already said this before, if you have the time, come over to visit us, it is for the best. If you do not have time, let me report once a month."

Third Madame Xie had a complex expression on his face. He lifted his hand and flipped through two books.

The mama at the side whispered, "Miss Wen is intelligent and understanding."

They tried to gain control of the General's Mansion, but the other party was already prepared to give it to you.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen something like this.

The master-servant group felt displeasure in their hearts.

When night fell, Wen Jiu returned home to accompany the Old Mistress for dinner.

Ever since Third Young Master left the examination hall, the old lady had been worrying even though she didn't say anything on the surface.

As Wen Jiu helped the old lady stew the soup, he also told her some interesting stories. Xie Xiaoliu and Xie Xiaoqi were laughing so hard that they had to lean back in order to support her.

Old Madame Xie could not help but sigh. "A good lady like Jiu, whoever marries her in the future, would truly be blessed to the extreme."

Wen Jiu's hands paused for a moment.

Xie Xiaoliu's face was full of puzzlement, "Sister-in-law is Sister-in-law, why would she be married off to someone else?"

"Stupid!"

Xie Zian whispered into her ear. "How many times have I told you …"

The two living treasures muttered to each other in a low voice. There were always endless words to say.

Wen Jiu also pretended not to hear anything, and said to the old lady: "Let's talk about the future, we will talk about it in the future. In these two days, I saw a clothing store on North Street, if Grandmother and Third Aunt are free, we can go and take a look together."

Old Madame Xie nodded in agreement.

After dinner, they chatted for a while before they split up.

Outside, night was falling quietly, and the sky was filled with dazzling stars.

"Jiu."

The Third Madame Xie called out to Wen Jiu, "About the matters with the accounts room …"

Wen Jiu turned around and gently smiled, "But is there anything that Third Aunt doesn't understand? I'll go with you to the office and have a match. "

She was so considerate and gentle that the words Third Madame Xie originally wanted to say were immediately swallowed back.

They arrived at the office.

"Bring out all the books from last year."

After Wen Jiu finished instructing, he placed the abacus on the table. "Third Aunt feels that something is not right, I will calculate it once for you on the spot."

As soon as she got the abacus, she was like a peerless master getting the most suitable weapon, and her momentum increased by seventy to eighty percent.

The few attendant s who were serving in the accounts room immediately became busy. Just the repair and arrangement of the house took a few days, with more attendant maids going in and out.

He stacked the account books from the floor to the height of half a person. There was a huge pile inside, which was several times more than what Third Madame Xie had seen in the afternoon.

Wen Jiu fiddled with his abacus for a while, and said to Third Madame Xie: "There are quite a few people in the residence, and the few that go out that are big is a lot more fragmented and troublesome. Originally, Third Aunt had just arrived at the Dijing, he shouldn't have tired you so much, but I, as a junior, have always been in charge of this place. "In the future, I'll have to trouble you with a lot of things."

These words were flawless.

Third Madame Xie pondered for a moment. He suddenly had the urge to think back to his actions.

How could he let the Miss Wen not dare to be in charge?

He wanted to throw away this authority as if it were a hot potato.

Third Madame Xie wanted to chat with Wen Jiu for a bit, but the other party had a serious face.

"So many account books, I can't clear them all in a short while."

Third Madame Xie braced herself and said, "The old lady has always praised you as a clever and meticulous person. She has never been wrong with people. There's no need to worry about it, I …"

Wen Jiu laughed: "Since it's about paying, it should be considered clear, or at least, clear."

"Alright."

Third Madame Xie randomly picked one and immediately, she started calculating her plan. Wen Jiu went with her to clear the debt, and the two competed very hard.

The Third Madame Xie had only calculated half of it. Wen Jiu had already finished his calculation and was sitting down to drink some tea.

After counting the entire amount, there was not a single difference of half a coin.

When Third Madame Xie looked at Wen Jiu, she could not help but appreciate him more. Back then, she could also be considered the daughter of a merchant in Spirit State City, and was in charge of over twenty stores in her family.

Today, the Miss Wen was clearly superior.

Third Madame Xie asked her a few questions about the records. The two of them, who could only speak a few sentences, made some calculations in the accounts.

His words became much more direct.

Third Madame Xie could not help but ask, "At that time, the amount of silver you brought with you from the Changping County did not seem to be much, how could it be enough to cover the expenses of this large family?"

Wen Jiu laughed without saying a word.

The Third Madame Xie thought for a while, then asked: "Is the business with alcohol really that good? In that case, do you think we should resell all of the businesses in Spirit State City and buy a few more shops in Dijing? The silver here is much easier to earn than elsewhere. "

"Since this is an ancestral business, it's better to keep it." Wen Jiu said: "Although this Dijing City's silver looks easy to earn, it is also easy to attract the envy of others. As the saying goes, you cannot hide all the silver in one place."

"That makes sense."

The more Third Madame Xie heard, the more he felt that this girl was a rare merchant genius, "When we were eating just now, you said that you wanted to go to see what kind of clothing shop she was selling, do you want to buy it yourself?"

"I originally thought so. It's just that I'm a bit short on money these days."

Wen Jiu laughed embarrassedly, his fingertips moving the Abacus Bead.

Third Madame Xie said: There is. How much do you lack, take it from me first.

Wen Jiu's eyes lit up, and turned away from her. "That's Third Aunt's silver, how can I …"

"There's no need to be polite, we're all family!"

Third Madame Xie pulled her towards the East He Courtyard. As she walked, he told her, "Jiu, you don't know, ah, Third Aunt always wanted a daughter. If I had a daughter, she would definitely be more obedient than that kid Wan Jin.

Wen Jiu smiled.

Heart: I'll go!

A few days ago, who was trying to pull my braid every day?

When Xie Wanjin hurried over, he saw mother, whose family looked down on everyone, holding Wen Jiu's arm.

Fourth Young Master was startled, "What are you doing?"
