If The World Sees Gentleness - Chapter 18

“Why are you here?” Xu Ting asked, putting down the pen in his hand.

She used a pencil, which was also made by Lu Zhilan, but it was a failed “invention.”

Those scholars and talents nowadays do not buy her account at all, indicating that brushes are traditional and authentic, and pencils are vulgar and indecent!

Therefore, sales were dismal, and production was immediately discontinued.

Xu Ting bought it back and gave it to the craftsmen of the Zhenbian Army to research and study, and soon produced a better pencil, almost no different from modern pencils.

The literati did not like it, but it was really easy to use. Xu Ting often used it for drawing and writing some plans.

The position of the Ombudsman is poor, causing the people in it to be either a wine bag or a dude. Although there are some good ones at the bottom, from the perspective of Xu Ting’s professional soldiers, they need to be trained |

What Xu Ting is writing is a plan for the internal reform and personnel training of the Patrol Department.

“There is soup in the kitchen, I’ll bring it to you.” Du Siyin said, placing the lacquer tray on the table next to it.

Xu Ting came out from the book case and sat down on the chair on one side of the table, while Du Siyin sat on the other side.

Xu Ting picked up the soup bowl, the soup was very clear, but the soup was filled and the bottom of the material was placed in the casserole, so there was no soup on the surface.

Xu Ting asked while drinking soup, “Just bring me soup?”

“There is one more important thing.” Du Siyin suddenly felt a bit wrong, as if he had done something wrong.

“Shuqi, give me things.”

Shuqi immediately handed the account book to Du Siyin, “Ms. Li sent the account book in the morning, but I saw something wrong, so I showed it to my wife, Changning.”

Xu Ting: “Oh, what’s wrong.”

“We buy goods in the yard every month. The unit price of each item is correct, but the quantity is wrong. It is impossible for a yard to use so much, and even the damage will not reach this amount.

There are always a few accounts that are very unclear. Like this one, it is said that they are used to purchase raw materials for a shop, but this shop is all purchased and then sold, where is it necessary to go to Jiangnan raw material. ”

Xu Ting looked at the numbers on the ledger, but she was not angry, but rather surprised.

“Can you tell the sound?”

“Yeah.” Du Siyin only agreed casually, and then said anxiously, “This is really horrible. By doing this, I stole at least 30% of Qingfeng Academy’s income.”

“The rules of the mansion, taking five out of a hundred is the cheapest range, but the steward Wang took 30%, which is indeed getting better.”

Du Siyin was a little surprised. He only said that there was a problem with the ledger, and didn’t directly mention the name of the housekeeper. After all, Mr. Wang had been working in the Qingfeng Hospital for a long time. It is very likely that Xu Ting would be cautious about his affection and deal with it in private.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ting directly named Guanjia Wang’s name in front of him.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Steward Wang is an old man in the mansion. I will tell my father and let him decide.”

If such a senior domestic servant is asked to do it by Du Siyin, it is easy to provoke a commotion.

Du Siyin nodded, he was clever and transparent, and of course he understood that Xu Ting was thinking about him.

“But after you come, Qingfeng Academy won’t need a housekeeper.”

Du Siyin hummed, his heart was too beautiful.

The atmosphere was good, but Xu Ting’s expression suddenly changed, “What’s in the soup?”

Du Siyin was caught off guard and panicked, “No, I don’t know.”

Xu Ting: “Didn’t you make the soup?”

“Uncle An explained to the kitchen to stew!”

Xu Ting sighed inwardly, hugged Du Siyin directly, turned and walked behind the bookshelf.

Fortunately, there is a soft couch in the study…

She said that when she drank it just now, she felt that the soup tasted a bit fishy, ​​but she thought that it was stewed by Du Siyin himself. The heart is important, and there is no need to mention some small flaws.

Now it seems that there should be stewed deer whip, tiger whip, etc…

Du Siyin didn’t realize what was going on until he was put on a soft couch, and his clothes were mostly faded, and he was immediately blushed.

Both of the two beauty-loving little sons liked the meeting gift given by the brother-in-law, and they couldn’t wait to wear it the next day.

In order to match the jewelry on her head, Xu Mei specially chose a bright red dress, while Xu Yue wore a moon-white Luo skirt.

The two of them walked to the Qingfengyuan in excitement, and said that the laughter was soft and crisp, just like a oriole in March.

They saw Xu Jing in the pavilion in the back garden. Xu Yue urged Xu Mei to call him in a low voice. Xu Mei reluctantly shouted: “Xu Jing! Let’s go find her brother-in-law, are you going?”

Xu Jing immediately rejected them, “I’m not going!”

“My father will tell me something later, I will go back first.”

After speaking, Xu Jing hurriedly left the garden.

“Xu Jing didn’t even wear the jewelry that brother-in-law gave him. I still want to see what style the brother-in-law gave him!

He could really bear such beautiful jewelry. ”

Xu Mei and Xu Yue murmured.

Outside, he informed that the two younger brothers of the maiden were coming, and Du Siyin quickly let Shuqin lead them in.

He is now leaning on the couch, with a little blush in his eyes, and there is a kind of contented laziness.

Fortunately, Xu Mei and Xu Yue’s two little boys who had not yet come out of the cabinet could not understand these subtle and subtle names.

“Brother-in-law!”

“Sit down.”

Xu Mei immediately sat on the other side of the couch.

Xu Ting waved to Shuqin, “Go get a soft stool for brother Yue’er.”

Shuqin sighed, and went into the back room to move a soft stool in front of the couch, and approached Xu Mei.

“Brother-in-law, where’s sister?”

“She went to practice.”

Du Siyin greeted Chan’er again, “Go get some dried nuts and pastries to help the younger brothers.”

Xu Mei: “Look, brother-in-law, the jewelry you gave me and Xiaoyue is so beautiful, we really like it.”

Du Siyin looked at the two of them with a smile, but he showed some doubts.

What Xu Mei wears is clearly for Xu Yue, but Xu Yue’s pearl jewelry is for Xu Mei.

Xu Yue immediately said, “My brother and I both like the jewelry my brother-in-law gave me so much, so we switched to each other so that we could all wear them.”

I was afraid that Du Siyin would misunderstand that they did not like the gifts Du Siyin gave, so they exchanged them.

Du Siyin can see that Xu Mei is lively and outgoing but lacks a string, but Xu Yue is quiet and careful.

“In the past, we always thought, what kind of person would marry my sister. I don’t think the whole son in Suizhou is worthy of the sister in court. Sure enough, sister in court went to Beijing to marry her brother-in-law.”

“The world daughter is kind to you, right.”

“Well, Sister Ting is the best sister. Before, Xiaoyue and I were bullied by others, and Sister Ting immediately helped us out.”

“Brother-in-law, you don’t know, that fat and ugly son insisted on snatching the jewelry we were looking for. Neither Xiaoyue nor I brought too much silver at the time. It was so angry. But Sister Ting suddenly passed by and lost a gold ingot. To the boss, that pesky is crying!”

“anything else?”

Du Siyin listened with gusto, Xu Ting’s life in Suizhou, the time before he met Xu Ting, and he was very interested in what Xu Ting did.

From the narration of the two little sons, he seemed to see the energetic, domineering and gentle woman.

Regarding the matter of Sister Hyun, even the quiet Xu Yue couldn’t help but interject, as if he was anxious, Xu Mei couldn’t say anything.

There are some strange things. The two people talked about Xu Ting between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. On the contrary, they rarely mentioned anything about a longer period of time.

Maybe these two little sons were also young at that time, so I can’t remember anything.

Du Siyin was only puzzled, and then left his mind.

“Which one of you is the best daughter of the world?” Du Siyin joked to the two.

Xu Mei curled her lips unhappily, “Xu Jing, he is used to behaved like his sister.”

This surprised Du Siyin, he thought it was Xu Mei and Xu Yue who would argue that it was himself.

It was too early, and Du Siyin asked Chan’er to get three boxes of rouge in the house.

“These brightly colored, new and ingenious things are most suitable for cardamom-aged sons like you. These three boxes are the rouge from Zhenbaofang. The color is too peachy. My brother-in-law is old and can’t put on his face. Give it to you.”

“You two pick first, and the remaining one will be given to brother Jing’er.”

“Thank you brother-in-law!” Xu Mei immediately picked it up, but Xu Yue only took the other one while Xu Mei opened the lid to take a look.

The new husband enters the door, pays attention to his parents, and his brother-in-law is true, but the most important thing is the attitude of the wife.

If the wife owner likes to respect, the husband respects, and the wife hates contempt, the husband does not need to give a good face.

The world’s daughter treats these three younger brothers well, so he treats them well.

On the way back, Xu Yue asked who was going to deliver rouge.

Xu Mei said angrily: “I’m going to go, but I won’t go! Every day, the sun is strange, who owes him money!”

Xu Yue muttered: “Who made you bully him when you were young?”

So Xu Yue went to the yard of Lord Le Yun and gave Rouge to Xu Jing.

“Brother-in-law gave the rouge from Jumbo Pavilion, the color and fragrance are very good, I will leave the best one for you.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing didn’t even have a smile on his face, so she said, “Thank you.”

Xu Yue didn’t care, and left. He also couldn’t see Xu Jing turned back to the room and threw the box of rouge to the ground, breaking it to the ground.

The author has something to say: There are a lot of words today, so it’s a bit late. What everybody.
