An Jinshu rushed to the backyard in anger. Manager Cui was already trembling in fear when he saw the men approaching. He carefully counted all the money and utensils he had embezzled recently. When he found out that the money was enough to kill him, he suddenly My legs were trembling, I could hardly stand still, and I was sliding down like a noodle.

Fortunately, the boy in front of him supported him, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground.

"Where is Manager Cui?" An Jinshu grabbed a little maid at the door and asked.

The little maid is a rough girl, she usually washes clothes in the back. Today she happened to come to Cui Cui to answer the question, but she happened to bump into An Jinshu. When she saw the other person's bright clothes and elegant temperament, she was immediately frightened like a turtle. Not daring to raise her head for fear of offending the noble man, she pointed behind her and stammered a reply.

"Go back, miss, yes, there."

An Jinshu followed the direction of her finger and immediately spotted Manager Cui wiping sweat in the courtyard.

She walked over quickly, and the maid waited until she left before she dared to raise her eyes and secretly glance at her back, but then she quickly lowered her head and stood silently, not daring to move.

"Is there anything important that the young lady came to see me for?"

Manager Cui hurriedly greeted him respectfully. He looked calm, but the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead betrayed his panic at the moment.

An Jinshu slapped the written note in front of him and said, "Hurry up and give me the monthly schedule of Junlan Pavilion according to this note."

When Manager Cui heard that the other party was not here to settle a score with him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the note and looked at it.

"Is this from the fourth young master's yard? Madam..." Manager Cui realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately knelt down on the ground and trembled like chaff: "It's not that I didn't go to the madam on purpose. Thought, thought..."

"Do you think my mother did this deliberately to make things difficult for my brother? As the steward of the An family, you are in charge of the various masters of the An family. Do you think it's okay for the master to have no money?" An Jinshu said in a bad tone and looked at her coldly. Looking at him.

Although her mother was at fault first, Manager Cui was not without fault. If he could only do things according to his master's instructions, then why would he be needed? It would be better not to have a slave who couldn't share the master's worries.

But she didn't come here today to reprimand him. Manager Cui's incompetence in doing things was taught by her mother, so all she had to do was knock the money and get the money.

"Hurry up and prepare all the records for Junlan Pavilion for the past six months. I'll save you a copper to keep a close eye on your skin."

An Jinshu said politely, and Manager Cui didn't dare to be lazy. He got up with his legs and hands and feet: "Miss, please wait for a moment. The younger one will come as soon as he goes."

After saying that, Manager Cui took his deputy and went into the house to prepare some silver.

Junlan Pavilion's quota is thirty taels a month and eighteen taels half a year. It's not too much, so it wasn't difficult for Manager Cui to prepare. He took out the package in no time.

He ran in such a hurry that he had no time to care if the hat on his head fell to the ground, fearing that An Jinshu and others might get angry at him.

"Miss, there are eighteen taels of silver in this package. No more, no less. You can count it."

An Jinshu made no move, but Lu Luo behind her quickly took the package with quick eyes and hands.

Luluo weighed it and replied to An Jinshu: "Miss, it's eighteen taels."

Manager Cui looked at Luluo in surprise, and was a little surprised by her ability to know the amount of money by just weighing it.

After taking the money, An Jinshu was about to leave, but when she was about to turn around, she saw Manager Cui's trembling legs. She took a deep look at Manager Cui, and then left with Luluo.

But she was thinking in her heart why she would be so afraid if she didn't come to him to get some money. It seemed that Manager Cui had something up her sleeve. She had to ask her mother to be more considerate.

Back at Junlan Pavilion, An Jinshu handed the package to Gu Qingchen, thinking that the other person would be grateful to her, but unexpectedly, the other person just immersed himself in writing and ignored her at all.

She walked around behind the desk, turned her face to watch the other person writing, and then understood why the other person ignored her.

The fluttering conjunction on the rice paper is about to end. As the name suggests, it is a word that needs to be formed in one stroke. If there is a slight pause in the middle, the whole paragraph will be useless. The writing of this kind of words extremely tests the writer's reaction ability. If he is not careful, You will fall short.

Just when An Jinshu started to look excited, the brush in Gu Qingchen's hand had been firmly finished, bringing out an extremely sharp stroke, which added to the icing on the cake of this conjunction.

An Jinshu clapped his hands and praised: "My brother is really awesome, but he was taught by a famous teacher in the frontier?"

"There is indeed such a person." Gu Qingchen did not deny it. Otherwise, he could not explain the origin of his handwriting.

An Jinshu sneered in his heart, "Gu Qingchen, you lie without blushing. You are indeed an emperor, you are so thick-skinned."

"Master is just a guide. The main reason is that I am talented and intelligent. Look at the conjunction of this sentence. It really matches the sentence. The combination of strength and softness is rare in the world."

Her flattery was about to reach the sky. How could Gu Qingchen not know that she did it on purpose? He smiled lightly, put down his pen and raised his eyes: "Sister, I am so complimentary."

"How can you praise me falsely? I am sincere. If you don't believe that my brother gave me this calligraphy, I will hang it up and burn incense three times a day to show my sincerity." An Jinshu said and was about to get the calligraphy and painting. .

Gu Qingchen grabbed her wrist, her lowered brows and eyes concealing the strange look in their eyes as their bodies touched each other.

"The ink is still wet. If I really like it, I will personally deliver it to my sister after the ink is dry."

"Oh, that's okay." An Jinshu retracted his hand in a panic, then quickly pointed to the package he got back and said: "I got back all my moon silver, brother. Will it be enough to count then?”

The cloth package containing the silver coins was placed on the desk. Gu Qingchen glanced at it with his big eyes and then looked away: "Sister Lao'a, don't worry."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." An Jinshu bit her lip and smiled, and the two of them suddenly fell silent. An Jinshu felt that the air around her became thinner. She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and quickly took a few steps back: "I suddenly thought of those posts. I haven’t returned yet, since I’m fine here, I’ll go back to the yard first, I’m busy.”

Seeing the person leaving in a panic, Gu Qingchen's pupils were dim and unclear. He stepped forward and opened the package. There were pieces of white silver lying inside.

"Zhang Cai."

He said solemnly.

"The little one is here."

Gu Qingchen threw the package to him: "Save it."

Zhang Cai lowered his head and looked at the money in his arms. Ever since he saw the huge amount of silver notes, he had seen no fluctuations in the money. He was just a little confused as to why his master would save these pieces of silver instead of just spending it. alright.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his mind. Now he had already obeyed Gu Qingchen and never dared to show any contempt or neglect. He just had to do what his master ordered him to do. He took the package and went to store it. Gu Qing Chen said.

"How is Zhang Bao?"

After such a long time, Zhang Cai even thought that Gu Qingchen had forgotten about Zhang Bao. He wanted to mention Zhang Bao countless times but held back every time. Now he was extremely excited when he heard Gu Qingchen mention his younger brother Zhang Cai. , hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "He has been studying in the backyard, and now he is no longer as reckless as before."

"In that case, call him back."

Zhang Cai's brows were filled with joy, and he kowtowed to Gu Qingchen with profuse gratitude. Then he quickly put down the money and went to the backyard to find his brother.

Gu Qingchen looked at how much he valued Zhang Bao and sneered. Only ordinary people can have such precious brotherhood. In the royal family, the so-called family love and brotherhood are nothing more than smoke. The power and interests are all gone at the touch of a finger. .
