    "Whoa!"

    Pages fly!

    An account book just happened to drop Lai Chang's head and face!

    Where has Xiangzhi standing behind Xue Tingzhi ever seen her face change so fast?

    At that moment, almost screamed in horror!

    Even Xue Tingzhi didn't expect it.

    He knew that she was not simple, but he didn't expect her to be so moody in front of him.

    Kill the chicken to warn the monkey...

    The chicken is there, who is this "monkey"?

    Lai Chang's chubby face had been smashed with a red mark by the hard spine of the account book, and the tied bun had been beaten a little crookedly. The cold sweat on his head densely seeped out, and he looked panicked and embarrassed.

    The ledger fell right in front of him.

    His hands and feet were weak, and he dared not move.

    Lu Jinxi looked down at him, there was no warmth in his pupils, and said manly, "I heard that Steward Lai is in the house, and he is a good hand at checking accounts. This account book was handed over a few days ago, but I don't understand it very well. It’s indispensable, I want to ask you for advice today. Please count the first three pages for me.”

    "Yes……"

    Lai Chang's voice trembled, his eyelids jumped, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid of being planted.

    This just happened to hit the tip of the second grandma's knife!

    Over the years, people in the house have long been accustomed to exploiting things from the eldest son's courtyard. Every month that is divided according to the regulations in the warehouse will be scraped with a layer of oil and water by them, and then sent to the eldest son.

    This is the least risky thing to do in the house.

    After all, everyone knew that the second grandmother didn't want to see this son-in-law.

    Although Lu Jinxi has been vigorous and resolute in the past few days, many people who do things have restrained a bit.

    But Lai Chang found out that she didn't seem to notice some of the little tricks she handed over to the account, let alone pursue it, and she became more courageous.

    In addition, it happened to be an errand to buy things for the eldest son. He pondered that the second grandmother's methods would change again, and the disgust for this son would never change.

    It is expected that even if he overdoes it and deducts more, the second grandmother should keep her eyes open as before.

    But who would have thought,

    I was called over today, took the account book and shouted!

    Lai Chang's hands were also shaking.

    He swallowed, trying to force himself to calm down: after all, he served the general, even if he made a mistake, the second grandmother had a deep love for the general, and in the past, she should not kill them all...

    But the more think about it, the more panic don't know why.

    The five short fingers stretched out and turned over three times before opening the account book——

    Black and white, stroke by stroke.

    Where is Lai Chang still not recognized?

    This is the account book he handed in a few days ago. The first three pages are all the expenses for purchasing the eldest son in this courtyard.

    The throat was a little itchy, and the voice was a little hoarse.

    Lai Chang reluctantly recited: "On the 17th day of the first lunar month, I paid 16 taels of silver from the accountant, and bought a total of 34 items for the eldest son. Among them, there are two sets of Xing kiln white porcelain tea sets, 22 taels of silver..."

    Speaking of this, it was as if something was stuck in his throat, and his voice became hoarse.

    Lu Jinxi laughed, raised her slender fingers, and pointed to the table: "I'm really clumsy, looking at the eldest son here, I have added so many things in the past ten days. Please look at the steward Lai for help, you say Xing kiln white porcelain, is it this thing on the table?"

    On the table is a cover bowl and a small cover clock.

    Both are blue.

    His face was even greener than Lai Chang's.

    When he came in just now, he had already glanced at it. Now that he looked at it again, he felt that he could hardly breathe: "Second grandmother back, this is ordinary celadon and celadon..."

    "Porcelain?"

    Lu Jinxi took the little Gaizhong in his hand, her voice was soft and soft, and it didn't sound like a bit of coercion.

    "It doesn't look like I'm clumsy, but Steward Lai made a mistake. But it doesn't matter, just ask Steward Lai to recalculate the price of the celadon you bought. Be careful, don't make a mistake again. "

    When she said the last sentence, the expression on her face had become half-smiling.

    Lai Chang's face suddenly turned ashen.

    If he changed his usual way, he would have to find someone to help him take the blame. After all, the second grandmother is kind-hearted, and she will not be too bad at that time, and she can perfunctory after a scene.

    But now...

    He suspects that even if he finds a hundred scapegoats, it will not help!

    No matter what it is, it's planted!

    Extending the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. .

    It's better to explain it happily, look back and ask for mercy, maybe you can get a good deal...

    "Second grandmother is very discerning, this matter is just a small difference, and greed..."

    At this critical moment, Lai Chang gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowed, he leaned over and gave Lu Jinxi a kowtow, admitting his mistake and starting to regret it.

    Unexpectedly, Lu Jinxi was not at all impatient to listen to this.

    She was unmoved, and even interrupted him directly: "I asked you to recalculate this account, don't you understand?"

    "..."

    Lai Chang was dumbfounded.

    Xue Tingzhi didn't expect it either.

    He glanced at Lu Jinxi secretly, not knowing what she wanted to do: he had already admitted his mistake, and it stands to reason that Lu Jinxi's goal has been achieved. Why do you still ask Lai Chang to settle accounts?

    Lu Jinxi didn't seem to see their doubts.

    Turning the tea cup in her hand and playing casually, she calmed down her voice: "Mr. Lai, this time you have to think about it clearly. Don't make a mistake again."

    There is a warning hidden in this.

    When Lai Chang heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little weird, but after thinking hard, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

    At that moment, he timidly said, "Ordinary medium-sized celadon, the price of 30 to 60 yuan per kiln on the market. The small lard is blinded and shoddy. There are two sets of tea sets and two pots. Two seas, sixteen and four small covered bells, only worth nine silver coins..."

    This was when he sent people to buy it, so he figured it out.

    Just these two sets of tea sets can grab a couple of coins!

    Because Lu Jinxi had said something first, Lai Changyuan wanted to lie and raise a price, but he didn't dare to say it. He thought it should be the right time this time, but he didn't expect...

    Lu Jinxi stared at him with no expression on his face, and his voice was light: "You made a mistake."

    "impossible"

    Lai Chang stayed still, his eyes widened, and he wanted to refute.

    "Snapped!"

    A small celadon cover clock smashed into the ground in front of him, and in the blink of an eye it shattered into pieces!

    This movement is much bigger than the previous fall of the ledger.

    Lai Chang was almost scared out of his soul, and Xiangzhi let out a low scream and backed up a few steps.

    Only Xue Tingzhi, his body tense, was still sitting on the chair, looking up at Lu Jinxi.

    However, Lu Jinxi still looked nonchalant, as if it wasn't her who dropped the little cover just now: "I said you made a mistake, but you made a mistake..."

    As if nothing had happened, she took the carved Taihu stone sapphire pen mountain that had been placed on the table earlier, and played with it in her hand.

    Lai Chang looked at it, and his heart suddenly "squeaked".

    Lu Jinxi looked at him with eyes like autumn water, and there was a bit of playfulness in his eyes, as if he was expecting something.

    Qingyu Bishan, hooked by her fingers, turned around.

    There was an unreal smile in her voice, as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky.

    "Miss Lai, you can do the math."

    "Don't worry."

    "This time you are going to be wrong again. I don't know where this thing is greeting."
