"Exactly, that's why the old lady did some tricks on the account." He glanced around, the meaning was obvious.
"Xiao Shi, don't mention this to the lord, do you know?"
Bai Xiangxiu didn't know much about the situation in the Long family's old house, so he could only keep this matter down. Both the old lady and Long Shuting wanted to hide it, so there was no need for her to say it.
After reading the ledger, she already knew that the palace also has properties in two other states besides Beijing, and it will be sent to the palace every month for the steward to check, and then go back with the ledger.
Long Shuting has already read these ledger books, so he also marked the problems.
Bai Xiangxiu also watched it, and had nothing to add. This Long Shuting was indeed the same as what was written in the book, he was a very capable person.
"That's all up to you. It's just this restaurant in Yuezhou. What do you want to do with it?"
It said it was profitable, but it was almost a hundred or two every day, and there was almost no change.
Isn't this a bit of a coincidence, and since other industries are more than 200, it is reasonable to say that restaurants should be one of the most profitable industries.
Long Shuting nodded and said, "I'm afraid the shopkeeper there won't be able to do it any more. I will handle this matter myself."
"That's good, the account book is like this. Is there anything else in the house?"
Bai Xiangxiu felt that her back was hurting from looking at it, and she really hoped that she could just rest today.
However, Long Shuting said, "There's nothing important right now. It's Miss Biao's birthday coming up soon, so I don't know what to prepare for it."
As soon as I mentioned that cousin Bai Xiangxiu, I felt a pain in the egg. Although I had already packed it back a few days ago, the hostility towards her still persisted for a long time.
Although she didn't have any special feelings for that little girl, it was a little embarrassing to give gifts.
First, I don't know what she likes. Second, even if she knows, I'm afraid the other party won't like it.
Bai Xiangxiu glanced at Long Shuting, who was sitting outside and had a good time, and said with a smile, "The chief steward's contribution to the palace is often talked about by even the prince!"
Contribution, what the hell are these two words
But Long Shuting only regarded it as her compliment, and didn't understand why she brought it up now.
"Don't dare."
"Then giving a gift to a little girl shouldn't be difficult for the chief steward, why don't you take care of it!"
Bai Xiangxiuhui blinked her eyes, she couldn't see her playful appearance anyway.
The tea in Long Shuting's mouth almost didn't spit out. Is this the rhythm of giving the tubers first and then pushing the troubles over
I didn't expect a teenage girl to think about her, and she wanted to refuse, but she thought that the relationship between them was indeed a bit complicated, so she said.
"Even if the fourth lady instructed him to be under his duty, it's just that he was in charge of the replacement of the kitchen steward. I'm afraid I can't be separated, so why not..."
Bai Xiangxiu gritted his teeth, this old fox.
"Then let me do it!"
Long Shuting smiled and said, "That's the decision, I'll say goodbye." After speaking, he stood up, bowed and walked out of the study.
When Bai Xiangxiu came out, she only saw a back figure. This man was not as thin and strong as Long Heng, with a medium build, but he was a scholar, and even walked with a literati elegance.
It would be better if I were a little fatter. I think my heart is too tired to grow flesh.
He curled his lips slightly, unexpectedly unwilling to work with such a calculating person. She felt that her heart was very real, and working with such a person would sell her sooner or later and still count the money for others.
Xiao Shi has always been worried about this master, why is there always so many things about her, not like those ladies who are light-hearted.
"Go and see!"
"Where?"
"Of course it's the kitchen."
Yes, the kitchen needs to be replaced, which is really a problem.
You must know that this kitchen steward is a fat poor man, how many people are vying to do it!
In this way, the master and servant came to the kitchen in a small sedan chair.
Don't look at the fact that this palace is newly built, but some land has been requisitioned on the old site given by the emperor, so it takes a while to get to the kitchen.
Of course, this is only the case with large kitchens. There are small kitchens outside each courtyard. Otherwise, the dishes will not be cold enough
This large kitchen is used by the stewards, or only when there is a major event in the palace, and general materials are stored here.
As soon as Bai Xiangxiu arrived in the kitchen, everyone came out. Now that the old lady and the prince are gone, the real masters are basically not there and they are relatively lazy.
But this fourth lady is different. She is the housekeeper. She just received the news that the change of housekeeper in the kitchen was handed over to her.
Therefore, these people have their own thoughts, even if they despise her concubine, they all come out.
Bai Xiangxiu's attitude was very friendly, and she walked into the main courtyard of the kitchen with them feeling very uncomfortable. There is a heated kang inside and a table of the Eight Immortals.
As soon as she came in, she was invited to the edge of the heated kang, and it was warm and comfortable to sit on a soft cushion.
Bai Xiangxiu really wanted to get a kang like this in her winter garden, otherwise, even if there were earth dragons, it would be sad this winter.
There are still a lot of people in charge of the kitchen, because today is a purpose, so there is no gender to sit around the table of the Eight Immortals.
First, the previous steward handed the key to Bai Xiangxiu, because she was ill and had a skin disease, so she couldn't appear in the kitchen.
But it was always a pity for her to lose this fat poor.
Bai Xiangxiu looked at her flushed face, with a layer of peeling on it. With a palm guard on his hand, if you guessed correctly, these things are also born in it.
No wonder he had to hand over power, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.
Bai Xiangxiu maintained her usual gentle style and said, "Mother Liu, you have worked hard for so many years."
Grandma Liu didn't expect her to talk about this, and she couldn't help but shed tears. At one point, I didn't want to let this job go, and I felt that I had really worked hard all these years.
Bai Xiangxiu said again: "Xiao Shi, take out twenty taels and give it to Granny Liu, so that I will honor you in private!"
What is filial piety in private? That sounds nice.
When the old lady was leaving, she still left some funds for her activities, which meant that it was used as a reward.
Originally, she should be responsible for these things, because there is a lot of oil and water in the house.
But Bai Xiangxiu lacked the word greed in her personality, so she knew that she didn't have much money in her hands. So the old lady left her some money.
But the old lady really didn't know that her son gave a lot of money in private, but Bai Xiangxiu wouldn't use it at all.
She has her own ideas. If one day she can't return to the modern palace and can't stay there, she will secretly stay out. That is a plan that requires a lot of money.
