Seeing that Qi Wang was so obedient and obedient, Liu Xiyu couldn't say the next words, she sighed, reached out and touched Qi Li's hair, and said softly: "Aliang , you don't put too much pressure on yourself, after all, you are still young and the days are still long, there is really no need to make yourself so tired."

Looking at the blue and purple under Qi Li's eyes, Liu Xiyu began to wonder if there was something wrong with her recent teaching to him and Qi Feng. For so many years before, their husband and wife always felt that the two children were young, right? Their teaching was negligent, and now they are caught suddenly, the two children are afraid of misunderstanding.

Thinking about it, because of the Qi family accident, the two of them were afraid that the two children would be implicated, so they quietly sent them to Yuzhou City, in order to fear that people would know their whereabouts, the couple even Don't dare to let them take a servant.

Afterwards, Qi's house managed to get through the difficult time. Originally, it was going to send someone to pick them up. As a result, something like this happened to the Sun family. The two children have been displaced for so long, After suffering what she had never suffered before, after returning, she forced her two children to study...

Liu Xiyu thought about it, and felt that she was doing something wrong, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Ah, the days are still long, you have parents here, don't do that. Don't worry, we will always help you."

Qi Li knew that Liu Xiyu was guessing something else, he didn't explain much, but the other party's love of the boxing box was naturally in his heart.

"Mom, I know, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot. I will pay attention to my body in the future."

Liu Xiyu nodded, and didn't ask what Qi Zhang had done - the drawings he drew were strange, and the things he made looked like four dislikes, Liu Xiyu was afraid of blows A child's self-confidence can be regarded as invisible.

"Ah Wan, I heard Mrs. Zhang say that you brought Sun Ziyin out and chatted with her for a long time?"

There is nothing to hide about this, Qi Li nodded and said, "Yes, mother, is there any problem?"

Liu Xiyu thought about it and said, "It's not a problem, but Mrs. Zhang came to me today and told me that after you met Sun Ziyin, her relationship with Sun Ziyun became intimate and warm again, as if It seems that the disputes and contradictions between them have never happened... Mother thinks it is a bit strange, after all, I know a little about Sun Ziyin's temperament, she should not forgive Sun Ziyun so easily."

But the person who should never have forgiven is now becoming intimate with the other party. No matter how you look at it, there is a problem. Liu Xiyu wants to know if Qi has done something - after all, from her From the point of view, she doesn't want the four siblings of the Sun family to be intimate.

Qi Li smiled and said: "Mother, there is indeed my reason for this, but what I said to Sun Ziyin, I can't tell my mother, I know what I have in mind, mother, you don't need to ask more. ."

Seeing this, Liu Xiyu really didn't ask any more questions. She took Qi Li's hand, and the mother and son chatted for a while. Seeing Qi Li, she would take a look at the thing he made from time to time. Liu Xiyu didn't bother him anymore.

"You get busy first, but remember, you can't stay up late tonight, understand?"

Qi Liang nodded and agreed.

Liu Xiyu always remembered this matter, and when she turned around, she explained to the two servants, the book and the ink, and asked them to take good care of Qi Li, and then beat the rosin garden up and down. , and then left the Rosin Garden.

Afterwards, Liu Xiyu went to the Ningxiangyuan where Qifeng was.

"Mother, this is the problem I found, please take a look and see if there is any problem."

Qi Feng obediently handed over the ledger, Liu Xiyu looked over it carefully, and then praised Qi Feng without hesitation.

"You have done a good job. Although you have not been in contact with the ledger for a long time, you are careful in your work and have patience. This is your advantage, but..."

Qi Feng was quite happy when Liu Xiyu praised him at first, but when Liu Xiyu said something, Qi Feng instantly became nervous.

"Mother, what's the problem?"

Liu Xiyu nodded, pointed to the wrong place in the ledger that was circled by Qi Feng, and said, "The cost of charcoal fire here is no problem, you shouldn't circle it."

Qi Feng's face showed a thick look of confusion: "But mother, the cost of charcoal fire last year was more than double that of the previous year, and the difference was too large, how can this be right? "

She did a careful comparison. Last year's expenses were much more than the previous year and the year before, and they were almost equal to the sum of the previous two years. With such a large amount of expenses, how could my mother say there was no mistake? Woolen cloth?

Seeing that Qi Feng didn't understand, Liu Xiyu waved at her, motioning for Qi Feng to come over, Qi Feng obediently walked to Liu Xiyu's side and sat down.

"Feng'er, we women take care of everything in the back house, but that doesn't mean we have to focus on the back house."

Qi Feng seemed to understand, but the child listened carefully to Liu Xiyu's explanation.

"Do you know why the charcoal cost was so high last year?"

Qi Feng shook his head, seeing Liu Xiyu still staring at her, Qi Feng said uncertainly: "But the people who buy the charcoal fire have their own pockets?"

Liu Xiyu shook her head and said: "You are wrong, the person who bought the charcoal fire was the dowry that my mother followed from her mother's house. I will never do anything to enrich my own pockets.”

The only suspicion was denied by Liu Xiyu, Qi Feng couldn't think of any reason, she shook her head and said blankly: "Mother, that daughter can't guess."

Liu Xiyu touched Qi Feng's head and explained patiently.

Last winter came early, and just in October, it snowed heavily, and the weather quickly cooled down. After that, there was a snow disaster in Jizhou City, and the cost of charcoal fire naturally soared.

Last year, the dragon started to burn in October. By the beginning of March this year, the sky was getting warmer day by day. Last year, the weather was cold and winter was cold again. Long, coupled with the soaring prices of coal, charcoal, etc., the consumption is naturally much more than in previous years.

"Look, you shouldn't just compare the use of flowers in previous years, you have to start from the reality, the use of flowers in our house is not static."

The weather changes every year. For example, when the year is good, the food will naturally be cheap. , the price of fabrics will also rise, and even the flowers in Fuzhong will be different.

Understand, just like this time, if it wasn't for mother telling you this, if you didn't know the price changes outside, wouldn't you be wronged?"

Although Qi Feng is smart, the time to contact these ledgers is still too short, and Liu Xiyu could not explain everything to her at the beginning, she first let Qi Feng learn by himself, and then From her loopholes, teach Qi Feng well and let her know what she is missing.

"So that's the case, before I thought it was not so easy to manage the accounts, I also raised my vigilance, deliberately looked at the accounts of the previous years, and confirmed that this account was wrong, and then circled it. The problem is that it turns out not only to look at past accounts, but also to look at market conditions.”

Qi Feng can be said to be one thing. After hearing Liu Xiyu's words, she turned over the ledger again and pointed out a few problems that she had circled earlier.

Therefore, the cost of making cotton-padded clothes in Fuzhong is much higher than in previous years, and even the medical money spent by the servants here for medical treatment is also a lot more, there are traces to follow."

You Dao is the same as everything. After Liu Xiyu's guidance, Qi Feng quickly understood the things that she had made mistakes before. She felt like she had a treasure, and immediately lowered her head and started to look at the ledger. Lai soon marked all the accounts she had made wrong earlier.

Liu Xiyu saw Qi Feng's appearance, and immediately felt relieved. Her daughter is a smart one, and it is not too late to teach it now.

After about half an hour, Qi Feng finally marked out the places she made a mistake one by one, and then excitedly handed the ledger to Liu Xiyu, correcting the places she made a mistake one by one After the explanation was clear, Liu Xiyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Good job."

Liu Xiyu is never stingy with praise, Qi Feng does a good job, she will praise her, even if she is wrong, Liu Xiyu will patiently explain to Qi Feng why she is wrong.

After receiving Liu Xiyu's praise, Qi Feng laughed. Seeing her like this, Liu Xiyu touched her head and taught Qi Feng some imperial tactics.

Qi Feng listened patiently and took all the words Liu Xiyu said in his heart.

After finishing talking about the housekeeper, Liu Xiyu suddenly said: "The Chen family sent a post to invite us to appreciate the chrysanthemums. We go to the Chen family's flower viewing banquet every year, and this year you are still the same as in previous years. Come with me as well."

However, after hearing Liu Xiyu's words, Qi Feng was stunned there, the smile on her face disappeared quickly, and then she lowered her head, her hands were entangled, originally white The blood on his fingers has faded because of too much force.

"Mother, can I not go?"

After a long time, Qi Feng said such a sentence, it has been more than half a month since he returned from Zhangzhou City, and Qi Feng has gradually adapted to the life of Qi Mansion, she feels that she It seems that she has returned to the days when she was the eldest lady in Qi Mansion.

However, when Liu Xiyu said that she was going to take her out to meet guests, Qi Feng felt a sense of resistance subconsciously in her heart, her head dropped even lower, not wanting to let her mother see to her expression at this time.

Liu Xiyu's senses were so sharp, and realizing that her daughter's emotions were not right, Liu Xiyu raised her hand and grabbed Qi Feng's hand, forcing her to look up at herself.

"Feng'er, tell your mother, why don't you want to go to Chen's house for a flower viewing banquet? Didn't you like going out to banquets before? And since you came back, I haven't invited you. Those little sisters came to the door, and when they handed in the post, you didn't want to go out, can you tell my mother why?"

In the past, Qifeng liked to attend such banquets very much. She is gentle and beautiful. She has a lot of handkerchiefs in this Jizhou city. Everyone likes to communicate with her. There are ten days in the month of Kung Fu Qifeng attending the banquets of various provinces.

Only after coming back this time, Qi Feng may have been frightened, and his courage is much less than before, and Liu Xiyu also understands Qi Feng. Recently, she let Qi Feng take care of him at home On the other side of her body, she was also teaching her the ability of the housekeeper to read the account books, and did not propose to take her out to the banquet. Only after her emotions had almost stabilized, did Liu Xiyu say that the Chen family wanted to invite them to the banquet. .

"You and the second lady of the Chen family are handkerchiefs. The two of you have a good relationship. Why don't you want to go?"

However, Qi Feng turned her head in embarrassment. She didn't want to see her mother's expectant eyes, so she found a reason to say.

"Mom, I don't think my body has fully recovered yet, and I have to rest at home for a while. Going to a banquet is very energy-intensive. I don't have that much energy. If you are ugly at the flower viewing banquet because of lack of energy, it is not beautiful."

Liu Xiyu knew that what Qi Feng said was just an excuse for prevarication, but no matter what Liu Xiyu asked next, Qi Feng always talked about it, and refused to answer Liu Xiyu's question directly.

"Mother, don't ask, I really don't want to go to the banquet because of my lack of energy, and there is no other reason. You went out to the party."

Seeing that Qi Feng was always reluctant to explain the truth to herself, Liu Xiyu couldn't ask any more. Seeing that Qi Feng's mood was much worse than before, Liu Xiyu sighed and explained that she was fine Rest, and then leave the Ningxiangyuan.

However, seeing that her daughter, who was good-natured, is now so reluctant to participate in the banquet, which makes Liu Xiyu feel that something is not right. Not long after she came out, she let her maid Green Calyx take the two around Qi Feng's side. The eldest maid called to her yard.

"Chunying and Jasper, the two of you have been serving the eldest young lady. Is there anything wrong with her performance after she comes back?"

Because she was afraid that her daughter would have some secrets to tell, Liu Xiyu sent all the maids beside her, and there were only three of them in the room.

"Mrs. Qi, after coming back, the eldest ate and slept soundly, and she studied hard to read accounts every day. There is nothing wrong with it."

Only when the two of them answered, their voices could not help but tremble, as if they were hiding something.

Where is Liu Xiyu so fooled? Seeing that the two servants refused to answer her question, Liu Xiyu slammed the table and said sharply, "Chunying Biyu, I sent the two of you to take good care of the eldest lady, if you can't even do such trivial things. Well, then there's no need to stay."

There has never been a shortage of maids in Qi's mansion. Although Chunying and Jasper are personal maids who have served Qi Feng since childhood, it does not mean that they are irreplaceable. When the hostess asked them questions, the two wanted to make excuses to prevaricate, how could Liu Xiyu tolerate it?

Chunying and Jasper's bodies trembled even more, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, pressed their heads tightly to the floor, and said in a trembling voice.

"Mrs. Qi, the slaves and servants dare not hide it, it is because there is nothing wrong with the eldest lady, and the servants really have nothing to say..."

Seeing that the two of them still want to hide themselves, Liu Xiyu laughed angrily. .seven

"Very good, since you still refuse to speak up, I will let you be sold."

After saying these words, Liu Xiyu raised her voice and was about to call someone in, but when the two of them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and Chun Ying suddenly looked up at Liu Xiyu, seeing The other party's face was serious, and it didn't look like he was joking, so Chun Ying immediately changed her tune.

"Mrs. Qi, this servant has something to say."

"Jasper, what are you hiding? If you don't tell the truth, I will sell the two of you immediately. You two look good, and the drunk incense building in the city..."

Before she finished speaking, Jasper's body trembled more and more, she let go of Chun Ying's arm, and did not stop her, and Chun Ying gritted her teeth and said everything she knew Say it.

"Mrs. Kai, Miss, she may..."

She probably knew that once the contents of what she said were leaked, it would be a disaster for the two of them. Haru Sakura knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.

"Madam, the slave and Jasper have never told this matter. If it wasn't for your constant questioning, Madam, the slave would not have said it."
