Gu Jingxi saw the little girl smiling brightly, her eyebrows were curved, and her clear eyes were sparkling, smart and bright. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said warmly: "Madam, I have something to take care of, you can play by yourself."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Judging from what he said, it seemed like he would play with her.

She thought so in her heart, but she was still very gentle and considerate: "Since my husband still has something to do, let me go and do some work first. Will you come back for lunch at noon? If you come back, I will instruct the kitchen to cook the dishes that you like to eat."

Gu Jingxi thought for a while and replied: "I don't have time to come back at noon, madam, there is no need to wait for me."

After he finished speaking, when he saw the little girl opening her mouth to speak, he added: "I will come back early in the evening to have dinner with my wife."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

There was no need to come back early to have dinner with her, she could eat alone, but she didn't say this to avoid spoiling the mood.

After Gu Jingxi left, she ordered Qingqiu to bring over the unread account books. Some accounts were reconciled monthly, some were reconciled once a quarter, and those far outside the capital were reconciled once a year.

Looking at the thick stack of account books, Meng Jinyao sighed quietly and said, "Fortunately, I have a clear mind today and didn't cause any trouble for myself."

Qingqiu asked: "Madam, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao clicked on the stack of account books and replied: "Fortunately, I didn't agree to take charge of the central feeder. Otherwise, some of them would be busy, and it would be a headache to just look at these account books. After taking charge of the central feeder, they will multiply several times, which will cause even more headaches."

Qingqiu smiled and said: "Madam, I guess you are the only one who would refuse such a good thing. If it were anyone else, I would definitely agree to it. No one else would be able to ask for this kind of trouble."

Meng Jinyao said indifferently: "So, I will leave this kind of trouble to those who like it."

Qingqiu said worriedly: "Even so, if the family is separated, you will have to take over. By then, you will have no experience, so won't you be in a hurry?"

"Am I not gaining experience now?"

Meng Jinyao patted the ledger on her left hand gently, and then said: "As for the banquet, when there is a banquet in the house, just follow the example of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. Gifts given to relatives and friends during the holidays are also recorded. The gift list can be used as a reference, don’t worry, let me relax for now.”

Qingqiu was slightly stunned, and then said: "I have forgotten this."

-

You time in the afternoon.

Gu Jingxi came back from outside.

At this time, Meng Jinyao had just finished checking all the accounts, twisted her neck, stretched, and was about to lie down to rest for a while, when the figure like a Zhilan jade tree came into view.

She called out warmly: "Husband, you are back."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly, walked towards her, and said warmly: "Madam, give me the key to the warehouse."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then asked him: "Do you need anything, husband?"

Gu Jingxi nodded and said, "I need to get a calligraphy and painting."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao didn't ask any more questions, and replied in a gentle voice: "I have rearranged the calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, and I asked Ningdong to find them for you." After that, she went to get the key, and asked Ningdong to help. try to find.

Ningdong took the key and followed Gu Jingxi to the warehouse. Those calligraphy and paintings were arranged by Ningdong, and each type of calligraphy and painting was classified.

Ningdong asked Gu Jingxi what he was looking for and quickly found it for him.

Gu Jingxi took the calligraphy and painting and was about to leave the warehouse when his eyes inadvertently swept across an inconspicuous corner and saw a somewhat familiar mahogany box. He stared blankly.

Then, Gu Jingxi walked over, and when he saw the box in full, he was sure that it was the one the little girl had shown him a few days ago. It contained a set of mutton-fat white jade custom-made headsets and masks.

When Ningdong saw this, he thought he was looking for something else and followed him. He didn't expect to see this mahogany box. He was stunned and cursed in his heart for bad luck.

Soon, Ningdong came back to his senses, fearing that he would miss others and forget about their master when he saw the other girls, so she quickly diverted his attention and asked: "Master Marquis, what else do you need to find? My slave will go find it for you."

"No need, I was just looking for a calligraphy and painting, and now I found it."

After Gu Jingxi said that, he glanced at the mahogany box again, hesitated for a moment, and then bent down to pick up the box and take it away with him.

This move made Ningdong suddenly widen her eyes. She stared at the mahogany box, and her mind went blank for a short time.

If she remembered correctly, this was the box containing the set of mutton-fat jade noodle sets. It was most likely that the Marquis wanted to give this set of jade noodle bags to his sweetheart, but in the end he failed to give it away, so he had to put it in the warehouse without recording it. In the book.

Now the Marquis wants to take this mask away. What does this mean?

When she came back to her senses, Gu Jingxi had already taken steps to leave. She hurriedly followed and locked the door of the warehouse. Her thoughts were confused and her eyes were chasing Gu Jingxi's figure. When she saw that he had gone to Wei Ruixuan's study, she quickly He walked to the main house to find his master.

After Ningdong entered the house, he closed the door.

When Qingqiu saw this, he was confused and said: "Ningdong, you are so good, why are you closing the door?"

Ningdong didn't answer but asked: "Qingqiu, where did Madam go?"

"I just lay down not long ago."

Qingqiu said, then looked towards the soft couch by the window.

On the soft couch, a beautiful girl was lying on it, taking a nap. After hearing the movement, she slowly opened her eyes, rested her forehead on her hands, raised her head and looked in their direction.

When Ningdong saw her, he hurried forward and lowered his voice: "Madam, something serious has happened."

Meng Jinyao saw her frowning and her face was solemn. She thought something big had happened. She immediately sat up and asked anxiously: "Ningdong, what happened?"

Qingqiu also looked at Ningdong nervously.

Ningdong frowned: "Madam, I just went to find calligraphy and paintings for the Marquis. What do you think happened?"

Meng Jinyao was slightly startled, then shook her head, looked at her with doubt in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "What could have happened in the warehouse? Could it be that the calligraphy and painting that the Marquis was looking for was bitten by a mouse?"

Ningdong snorted: "I hope the calligraphy and painting are bitten by mice."

"What's going on?" Meng Jinyao saw the anger on her brows and said softly, "Is the Marquis giving you a hard time? If so, I'll go and tell him that you are mine, that's you Whatever I did wrong should be dealt with by me, and he should not be allowed to comment."

Ningdong shook his head and replied: "Madam, do you still remember that head and face made of mutton-fat white jade?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned and asked: "Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

Ningdong became angry when she thought of the situation just now. She bit her back teeth and said angrily: "Just now in the warehouse, the Marquis saw the set of headsets placed in the corners and took them away. Then, the slave looked at When the Marquis went to the study, which is Wei Ruixuan's study, the set of noodles should have been taken to the study by the Marquis."

After the words fell, Meng Jinyao was stunned again, with an unpredictable expression on her face.

Qingqiu's expression was subtle.

The set of noodles was fine in the warehouse. Now Gu Jingxi took it out of the warehouse. This move was a bit intriguing. It was originally left in the warehouse gathering dust, but now he couldn't bear to let it gather dust?
