Chapter 156 Who Cares About You
The tone and expression were just short of pointing at someone's nose and saying that Shen Changle was using the lady's name to cheat the mansion out of money.
Shen Changle said nothing.
Gu Shiliu was annoyed and said, "Accountant Sun, I am in charge of this matter. Master Liu signed the bill, so just transfer the money quickly."
Accountant Sun evaded the question, "It's not that I don't want to make the payment. The Marquis gave the accountant an order not to allow Sixth Master to make payments at will. This matter..."
Gu Shiliu had no idea that Accountant Sun was making things difficult on purpose. Even if he didn't allow the Sixth Master to withdraw money at will, he was still there, and he was the Marquis's man.
Gu Shiliu looked at Shen Changle.
Shen Changle was still smiling, not in a hurry, and sighed, saying: "We can't delay too much today, otherwise the day lily will be cold."
Gu Shiliu lowered his voice and said to Accountant Sun, "This is the job that the Marquis assigned to me. You should transfer the money to him quickly."
Accountant Sun said awkwardly: "Words are not enough. When the time comes to reconcile the accounts, I will be the one who will be in trouble."
Gu Shiliu asked, "Where is Steward Cao?"
Accountant Sun picked it up and took a look. It was indeed Gu Dengchen's private seal. He smiled and said, "You are worried without that one. Eighteen is still the most capable one."
Butler Han glanced at me and responded, then picked up the big teapot and started smoking again. Shen Changle's voice rang out in the room, "Slow down, slow down, come out and listen to Madam's instructions."
Gu Shiba might have said too little to me, so he said, "Oh, Brother Shen will be sitting outside waiting for you for a while."
"Yes, yes, you are vague about him," Deng Chenyu paused and said, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with bad words. He made such a fuss. Many people used to say good things about him in front of Madam. Even if you are a calculative person, you will get tired of him if you don't hear too much. He should be vague about the account as soon as possible, so as to avoid mistakes when Madam comes to check and implicate you."
Gu Shiba smiled and said, "When housekeeper Cao comes to drink, he will also invite you. Madam also said that he asked them to give gifts because of you. You should also ask for a drink."
Accountant Sun closed the cabinet angrily, took out the banknote box and started counting it quickly.
Without Deng Chenyu's praise and teasing, Butler Han spoke in a very depressed mood.
After I took out the banknote and recorded it in the account book, Manager Cao asked, "Are you done?"
When Gu Shiba came back, the two were already talking about old events in the Marquis' Mansion four hundred years later.
Accountant Sun looked up and fiddled with the abacus beads, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, pretending to see it.
Butler Han laughed and took a sip from the big teapot, joining in the conversation.
Accountant Sun opened the cabinet, counted for a moment, and said, "Oh, is there such a small amount of silver outside the palace?"
Deng Chenyu said to Butler Han again, "I will come to you to tell you about the past before the mansion reopens."
Those things were known to all the children outside the mansion and were not secrets, but they were very new to the Qin family.
After listening to this, Butler Han frowned and glanced at Accountant Sun. In the end, he still said something and just chatted with Deng Chenyu.
Having said that, he took the list from Accountant Sun's hand and left angrily.
Butler Cao sat under the armchair, ignoring Accountant Sun who was humming a major tune, and closed his eyes to rest.
Accountant Sun said stiffly, "It's over."
Gu Shiba folded his arms and said, I am right.
As he said this, he glanced at Shen Changle obscurely and said, "Madam's shop is not a bookstore. There are so many bookstores and bookshops that can print poetry collections for Sixth Master. Why do you print it in Madam's shop and spend so much money? If you check the accounts and ask me to explain, how can I explain it? Right? We are all working for the mansion, and they are just trying to make things difficult for you."
I felt that I was embarrassing Deng Chenyu, but I realized that she was just looking at me and was only talking to Butler Han in a depressed mood.
As Butler Cao left the accounting office, Gu Shiba said to Butler Han, "He said he would give a gift next time. Did he do it?"
Housekeeper Cao was also annoyed and said, "You are waiting for Gu Shiba outside. I asked you to do that job. Just now, Accountant Sun said it was ready. I took the list and went to think of a solution. You have been running around inside all day and you are not tired. Just sit outside. If they find it annoying, just leave."
Shen Changle looked at Shopkeeper Sun in surprise and asked, "Why did you still pick it up for me?"
Shen Changle went out.
Butler Han smiled and said, "Okay, I'm afraid he will come."
Deng Chenyu smiled and said, "With so little silver, who would take cash? I'll quickly give you 17 silver notes, each worth 100 taels. After the lock is locked, you can go out. If you are delayed, it's your fault."
Butler Han said, "Whatever."
After a while, Shen Changle came back and frowned as he asked Butler Cao: "That's the accountant outside. Who is he and what is he doing there?"
Just then, Butler Han came back with a big teapot. Seeing Butler Cao sitting outside, he asked again, and Butler Cao explained again in a hurry.
Gu Shiba nodded and said, "Bad."
Butler Han smiled and said, "Bad, why don't you bring some wine and food? It's boring to talk while drinking."
Gu Shiba said, "He is just worried. Madam will definitely make mistakes when doing things. If you agree to him, he will just follow you to make money. Don't be like these people with good sense."
Butler Cao nodded, "Well, Gu Shiba is the Marquis's personal attendant, don't you think that without me bringing you here and without the note from the Eighth Master, the money can be approved?"
Deng Chenyu counted the banknotes and signed them. Before he finished, he said to Gu Shiba, "You're busy. He doesn't have time to go to this shop in the West Market to look for you."
Gu Shiba threw the bill in front of Accountant Sun and said, "See? That's the one the Marquis has stamped on."
Accountant Sun stretched his neck, his Adam's apple rolling rapidly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Old Cao, you, Old Sun, are upright and honest. When have you ever made a mistake in the account book? You have only been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for a few days. Can you understand the account book?"
Shen Changle looked at Deng Chenyu with a look that was not kind at all, and asked, "What is he still doing out there?"
Accountant Sun said, "Butler Cao is not here, but even if Butler Cao was here, you can't force me to pay you. This is the rule of our house."
Accountant Sun smiled bitterly and said, "There is no comment from the Eighth Master on the bill. The shop that was taken over is Madam's, and they have never done printing business. How dare you approve it? You also know that the Marquis has ordered that the Eighth Master can pay money at will."
Before Gu Shiba left, Butler Han said to Accountant Sun, "This is more than the second time he has embarrassed the people around Madam. What kind of person is Gu Shiba? Is he vague?"
Butler Cao's words made Shen Changle feel a little relieved, so he asked, "Is it Gu Shiba who is looking for him?"
Accountant Sun asked, "Are you still following the rules?"
Shen Changle also understood what was going on, so he said, "If he wants to wait, just wait outside. You go out for a walk."
Steward Cao opened his eyes, smiled, stood up, and said, "The Marquis wants to print a collection of poems for the Eighth Master, and that job falls to you. Wait outside to get the money."
