Chapter 36 Cicely Craddock

The little manager suddenly shouted: "Buhe, you are quite courageous. You dare to let others intervene in the tasks assigned to you by the engraving research group."

"Lord Cicely, I... I was wrong... I don't think I can understand it anyway..." Bu He knelt down on the ground in a panic.

"Understanding or not, you have the final say?" The little manager asked with his arms crossed, squinting his eyes, "Hmph, I took him away."

The little manager waved to Chang Wuyong, and strode out.

Chang Wuyong could only follow behind the little manager Cicely, Chang Wuyong didn't know where she was going to be taken, she looked at the bouncing little manager in front of her, her red hair jumped behind her following her steps.Chang Wuyong found out that the little manager seemed to be in a good mood?

The little manager took Chang Wuyong to a spiral staircase at the end of the corridor, went up to the second floor, and entered a pink and tender room.The woven cloth that was deliberately dyed pink was nailed to the windows to resist the cold wind. The carpet was off-white, the tablecloth was dark pink, often useless to find, and even the quills were pink.

The little manager dismissed the maid, she smiled brightly at Chang Wuyong, and asked mysteriously: "If you are literate, you will be able to settle accounts, right?"

"Will it?" If it's a basic math question, it's fine for Chang Wuyu.

The little steward opened a scroll to Chang Wuyou. She looked at it, and it roughly recorded the consumption of the castle, 10 barrels of wine, 69 chickens, flour...

"Yes." Chang Wuyong scanned around, it was just a basic math problem.

"That's great!" The little steward jumped happily, then she turned around, stood on tiptoe and patted Chang Wuyou's shoulder seriously, and said, "From now on, I will hand over the accounts in the castle to you."

"No problem, my lord." Chang Wuyong quickly concealed his astonishment. You know, she, a prisoner who was just captured and was in danger yesterday, actually took over the account of the castle today?There must be something wrong here.

"My name is Cicely Craddock, what's your name?" The little manager looked at Chang Wuyu with his big light brown eyes.

"My name is Anastasia Abbott, my lord," Chang Wuyou replied.

"You can just call me Cicely." The little manager said with a smile, and she continued to smile, and suddenly asked: "Who are you from Abbott?"

"Abbott is my adoptive father, Cicely." Chang Wuyong replied quickly, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. This innocent-looking little manager is indeed not simple.

Cicely didn't speak for a long while, her light brown eyes narrowed, looking up and down to no avail.Chang Wuyong tried her best to look frank, and she looked directly into the other's eyes with slight doubts.Damn, Chang Wuyong is annoyed again that she really knows almost nothing about the servant, she has no way of judging whether the other party is the servant, whether she can find out her identity.

"I see," said Cicely, drawn out.

Chang Wuyong didn't know whether the other party believed it or not.

But soon, Cicely asked someone to arrange a room for Chang Wuyong on the first floor. Before she could arrange it, she hastily threw a pile of accounting items to Chang Wuyong.

"Calculate it as soon as possible." Cicely left such a sentence and left.

After receiving the accounts, it is often useless to find out that the accounts have not been settled for three months.And the month of the last settlement, the scrawled and heavily scratched handwriting showed how distraught the owner was about this account.A month before that, it was a neat and meticulous handwriting.Chang Wuyong continued to turn forward, and found that all the accounts were settled in that neat handwriting, and it took a full 6 years to turn to the front.

Accounts further on are not in the hands of the often useless.

But that's already enough information.

Chang Wuyong began to understand that four months ago, there was a person in charge of accounts in the castle, and he had been in this position for at least six years.Cicely did not make sufficient preparations for his departure, and it was often useless to judge that this person might have suffered a sudden illness and died within a short period of time.

And after 4 months, no one was found in the castle to manage the accounts, contacting the head of the guard who was assigned the additional task of transcribing the scrolls, and the reluctance of the soldiers who escorted them back then.It is often useless to judge that the castle is a place that the prairie people cannot escape.For reasons often useless already known, this is a place where, for most people, there is no return.

But if I can't escape, it's just a unilateral wish, which can really make it impossible to find a suitable person to manage the accounts after 4 months.It's because of... Wang Weijun!The embodiment of the ruler's ability depends largely on his control over the area under his control.

It is often useless to guess that the current rulers of the grassland, the rule of the Wuliangha family, are already crumbling.

However, this is just speculation.

Chang Wuyou pulled himself together and continued to look through the accounts.She found that in the accounts she manages, food consumption is about 100 people, but other supplies, such as the repair and replacement of leather armor, are only about 10 people.And more, such as the materials used by the engraving research team, are simply missing.

This is not a complete castle account.

It's no wonder that Chang Wuyong felt that Cicely would not trust her so easily, but.Chang Wuyong looked at the scrawled and irritable handwriting and smiled secretly. She believed that as long as she did well enough, as long as her own threat was low enough, the little manager would soon send more accounts to her.In other words, more information.

While Chang Wuyong was sorting out the accounts, a man in black robes came, he said very little, looked at Chang Wuyong's injuries, gave him medicine, and left.It is useless to speculate that it was Cicely who asked him to come.Indeed, only with value will it be valued.It's just that no matter how Chang Wuyong looks at it, the man in black robe doesn't look like an ordinary doctor...

When Cicely came into the room again, the neat accounts had already been laid out.In order to make the results more intuitive, Chang Wuyong also used a simple table and drew a histogram.

After briefly explaining to Cicely how to identify it, Chang Wuyou saw that Cicely's crooked eyes were even more slits when she smiled.

"It's too clear." Cicely said holding the parchment, "Anas, has anyone told you that you are a talent?"

"I...Master Abbott always said I was stupid." Chang Wuyong pretended to be both happy and embarrassed, and she wrung her hands "uneasily".

"Abbott is too strict," said Cicely, laughing.

A good subordinate is one who can exceed the expectations of the boss when handing in the work.And usually at this time, it is also the most suitable time to make your own request.

"Cicely." Chang Wuyong called timidly: "May I ask for one thing?"

Sure enough, Cicely looked up, she held the scroll, and said happily: "Just say it."

"I... can I continue to help cloth and transcribe scrolls, he... he is very good to me, if it is not because of him, I will..."

Chang Wuyong looked at Cicely weeping. She realized from the very beginning that helping to transcribe the scroll was not a serious matter, but that Cicely deliberately frightened Buhe and wanted to take Chang Wuyong away to help her settle the score.Chang Wuyong didn't ask to see Freya immediately, she knew that everything had to be discussed in the long run.

Cicely looked at Chang Wuyong in surprise, her eyes became a little softer, and she said: "It's okay, Bu and that guy actually have nothing to do, but it's okay if you want to repay him."

It is easier for a person who is weak but reciprocates his kindness to be trusted.

However, Chang Wuyong looked at Cicely who suddenly became much more friendly to her.She knows!Cicely attaches great importance to the quality of being grateful and repaying, and it is very likely that she herself is such a person.

Chang Wuyong suddenly became curious about the 15-year-old girl in front of him, how did she come to this castle, and how did she become the steward?
