Qinglian accepted Ling Yun's instructions and naturally would not go to the tea shop directly. She was Qianxue's personal maid, and now she is half of the new sister-in-law's room. She usually walks around the inner courtyard and just asks a servant for small things like sending letters and running errands. However, although Qinglian thinks the new sister-in-law is good, she still goes to the West Courtyard to report to the lady whenever she is in trouble. As a qualified personal maid, she must have the lady's eyes and ears, telling the lady everything she sees and hears.

In this regard, Qinglian is better than Mulan. Mulan is always careless, and if the lady doesn't ask about these things, she won't report them actively. After Gao Qianxue came back in the morning, she has been busy with the affairs of the village. She is clearing the accounts with the housekeeper Gao Bo and the accountant Zhang Bo. Gaojiazhuang is also a big family, with many kinds of farms and shops in secret, especially the smuggling channels in secret, which are even more complicated. The Gao family wants to win over the powerful families in the south of the south of the Yangtze River, and this money is essential. It is obviously not enough to rely on the money of these manor shops in Gaojiazhuang. Several people are clearing the accounts and checking them, preparing to mobilize funds from the secret smuggling channels in the north. Although Zhang Bo is the general of the Gao family, it is obvious that the money of these manor shops in Gaojiazhuang is obviously not enough.

Several people are clearing the accounts and checking them, preparing to mobilize funds from the secret smuggling channels in the north.

The account room, however, is already old this year, and most financial matters are slowly transferred to Gao Mingyue. Although Gao Mingyue is not Gao Qianxue's Qing sister, his father Gao Baoning is also a royal family in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Moreover, Gao Baoning loyally supported Gao Shaoyi to fight against Zhou, and was very prestigious in the hearts of the lonely ministers of Northern Qi. Moreover, Gao Baoning was the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty whom Gao Shaoyi personally worshipped. He grew up with Gao Qianxue in these years and was like his sisters. He was generally treated by Gao Mingyue and Gao Qianxue. Gao Mingyue, who had just passed the 28th year, was less mature, steady and overall view than Gao Qianxue, but he was naturally beautiful and had the talent of arithmetic.

At this time, in the hall of the West Courtyard, Gao Mingyue was sitting in front of the desk, her two slender and tender hands swung the small sticks made of ivory in front of her. Through these luxurious calculations, she quickly compared the account book spread out in front of her. There was a little mistake on the book, and she quickly discovered that she pointed out and re-checked it with Zhang Bo, Gao Bo, Qianxue and others. At this time, she did not look like the brilliant and lively girl in the past, but she had just a temperament and demeanor like Gao Qianxue when she was usually leading the Gao family. In this era, arithmetic requires talent and requires guidance from famous teachers. Especially those cumbersome accounts

, even more troublesome. Some complex calculations can only be calculated by calculation pieces that are about the same length as chopsticks. The extremely convenient abacus has not yet appeared, and there are no simple and practical arithmetic formulas, not to mention the convenient Arabic numerals. Gao Mingyue's set of ivory sticks has always 276. Whether at home or on a trip, he always puts them in brocade bags and hangs them on his waist and takes them over, and takes them out at any time when calculating. In Gaojiazhuang, Gao Mingyue's calculation pieces are the best. Even Zhang Bo, a professional who once served as an official position in Yecheng, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, could not have been able to set up the calculation pieces three years ago.

The Gao family, inside and outside, open and secretly, all the officials and accountants showed admiration when they talked about the second lady's math skills.

After checking the calculation results of the all-out land with the numbers on the accounts, Gao Mingyue shook her slightly sore wrist, and her frown finally stretched out, returning to her usual cheerful girl. "Well, I finished another book. In the past two years, many industries in the Jiangnan area have been added, but the management is not very good, and some of them are not in or out. My sister plans to withdraw a large amount of money from various industries in the south this time, which I think is unlikely. Most of the industries in Jiangnan are barely maintained at present. If funds are drawn from it, I am afraid that these industries will not be able to maintain them. I don't know how these managers operate. Jiangnan has been stable and prosperous in commerce in recent years, and these industries should be very profitable. Just like these accounts, many of the accounts are a bit messy, and they need to be tempered more."

Both Gao Bo and Zhang nodded in agreement. They all read the accounts as soon as they were sent. They naturally knew the situation. The accounts were messy, and the industries in various places were even disappointed. The two old people were both talented people, and they could guess that there must be hired Jiangnan officials to fill their pockets. This account may not be because the accounting level is not enough. It is probably because the managers deliberately asked the accounts to make the accounts like this to cover up their greedy behavior. But they didn't expect that Gao Mingyue, the second lady of the Gao family, is actually a master of arithmetics, and even a master of accounting. No matter how difficult or complicated the accounts are, she can handle them clearly.

"If you want to mobilize a large amount of money and grain from the north to move south, it will probably attract the attention of the court." The situation is getting more and more serious and has reached the critical moment. They must be careful and cautious. Large amounts of gold and silver flow can easily arouse the official alert.

"Well, let's find a way to do this." Gao Qianxue said. In fact, she didn't know the following corruption. She knew a little bit, but there was no fish when the water was clear. Moreover, when buying a property in Jiangnan, she was to leave a way out, and to protect her identity. The so-called cunning rabbit was just like this. Gao Qianxue has always been unscathing. If others follow you, how could you be stingy? But now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she doesn't want to miss the opportunity to avenge the country and family hatred. However, to do things, it requires money, especially the things they are about to do in Jiangnan, which requires a lot of gold and silver to open the way. "Prepare a batch of rare things first. Young Master Xiao will send Mr. Chen and Gao Ding's team of guards to the house in two days. We need to repay Mr. Xiao for the last time, and we can't be rude."

At this time, lunch time was approaching, so she asked someone to send a meal. At noon, she had a meal with Gao Bo and others in the West Courtyard. Seeing Qinglian and Mulan, Mulan asked Mulan to come and have a meal together. Although Lingyun was not willing to plan the anti-Sui Dynasty with them now, Qianxue was not willing to force her too much. But now the two are already husband and wife, so it is better to eat together. What's more, she also hopes to take this opportunity to eat, so that Gao Bo and Zhang Bo and Mingyue and others will know more about him. To her, Gao Bo and Zhang Bo are her family. Now Ling Yun is her husband, so everyone will naturally be a family in the future.

After Mulan left, Qinglian quietly reported Lingyun's tea making to Gao Qianxue.

"Fried tea?" Gao Qianxue smiled slightly, not caring much. She thought that this was not a big deal, maybe it was just a different taste of her husband. However, when she took the letter Ling Yun wrote to the tea shop handed by Qinglian, her eyes changed slightly, full of surprise.

"Is this letter written by Yi Lang?"
