    On the second day, as soon as Qiu Shilang went to the office, he went to his immediate superior, thinking about the errands he had found with great difficulty in the past few days, and the errands he had prepared for his son.

    The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was surnamed Chang, and he was born in a poor family. The empress knew how to check and balance. Among the six most important two, the Ministry of Households was given to a family that was respected by the powerful, and the Ministry of Officials was given to a poor family that she single-handedly promoted.

    One for money, one for power.

    "Send Qiu Shou'an to follow to Pingman Prefecture to inspect the county officials. Pingman Prefecture is the only autonomous prefecture in our dynasty. It is located in a remote place. We send people to inspect it every three years. This year is just the time. Qiu Shilang is interested."

    Chang Shangshu was thoughtful, Qiu Shouan is the son of the newly appointed servant, it is not easy for a parent to think about their children to such an extent.

    As a minister, he can naturally see the intertwined relationships. Qiu Shouan is attached to the eldest prince and wants to gain power from the dragon, while Qiu Shilang, the father, only wants to stay away from right and wrong, so he is not confused.

    Qiu Shilang clasped his hands and begged: "Gouzi is young and frivolous, he still needs experience, just let him be a handyman, and I hope the adults will make it happen."

    Chang Shangshu raised his eyebrows: "You know, Qiu Shilang, Pingman Prefecture is a barren land, and the situation is complicated. If you go there for a year or so, you won't be able to return. Even if there is any accident, you can't say for sure."

    "The lower official understands that the dog is seldom weathered by wind and rain, and he needs to endure hardships so that he can serve the court in the future. If there is an accident, it is because of his bad luck. The lower official has no complaints." Qiu Shilang is determined to send his son out.In the capital, as long as you don't lose your life, it's better than being in the capital, which made him worry all day long.

    Chang Shangshu sighed and said: "It's not that this official is unkind, but that this matter cannot be decided by this official. The eldest prince has said hello to the official department and wants to use your son."

    Naturally, he is not afraid of the eldest prince, and he has always been honest with these powerful people, but he also does not want to offend the eldest prince. It is not yet known who will get the throne, so we need to be cautious in everything.

    Qiu Shilang opened his mouth, he didn't know what to do for a moment, he thought for a moment, and tentatively said: "My lord, Qiu Shouan is a doctor of the official department, and the next official is the servant of the official department, if there is something to assign him..."

    Chang Shangshu glanced at him and pointedly said: "Since he is your subordinate, of course Qiu Shilang has the right to appoint him."

    Qiu Shilang suddenly knew in his mind that his son can be sent away, but Chang Shangshu cannot take the lead. No matter what the consequences are, he must bear it alone.

    Turning around, he called his son to him: "In a few days, the Ministry of Officials will send officials to Pingman Prefecture for inspection, you can go together."

    "Father! My son won't go."

    "I'm your superior, and I still have to listen to you when I'm assigned a position. If you don't go to Pingman Prefecture, you have to go."

    "Father, what good will it do you for me to go to Pingman Prefecture? You don't see your son at all, okay?" Qiu Shouan clenched his fists and stared at Qiu Shilang, full of resentment.

    Qiu Shilang immediately got up and kicked him: "Get out, you don't know what's good or bad."

    The father and son broke up unhappy, and Qiu Shouan ran to the First Prince's Mansion as soon as he got out of the office.

    He would not do this kind of drudgery in a barren place like Pingman Prefecture.

    Qiu Shilang looked at his back with cold eyes, and his heart was hardened. If this bastard still dares to act recklessly, he will have to follow Master Qin's example.

    Lizi has no shape, and he will not change after repeated admonition, so he should be chased away.

    Back in the mansion, Qiu Shilang sat and waited, but he couldn't help sending someone to inquire before his daughter returned home.

    After asking, found out that daughter is still checking the accounts at the household department, and won't be back for a while.

    In the lobby of the household department, Qiu Jinning was holding the abacus with his left hand and holding a pen with his right hand.

    After a few days in the household department, she tasted a sense of helplessness.

    After a lot of attention, found out that Lord Lu, Minister of the Household Department, had frequent contacts with the second prince. If he only wanted to avenge the second prince, of course Lord Lu would not dare to say so.

    After all, Qiu Jinning was the number one scholar, and it was the empress who personally directed her to the household department.

    Mr. Lu is not afraid of offending the Queen, so there is only one possibility to target her like this, and I am afraid that he has the Queen's order.

    Busy until late at night, Qiu Jinning looked at a stack of account books that hadn't been checked, tidied them up and took them out the door. It seemed that he didn't need to sleep tonight.

    After leaving the household department, she saw the Qin family's carriage parked by the side of the road, and her heart immediately warmed up.

    On the carriage, Qin Chu took over the account book: "I sent the pot to the Minister's Mansion to look for you. I heard from Luyao that you still have as many accounts as you haven't checked, so bring them."

    Qiu Jinning hesitated for a moment, thinking of Qin Chu's arithmetic ability, turned around and brought out a pile of ledgers.

    Qin Chu sent her back to the Minister's Mansion, and left the account book: "I will ask the pot to deliver the account book tomorrow morning, so as not to delay your going to the office, go back and have a good rest."

    Qiu Jinning could hear it from the bottom of her heart, and said softly, "There's still time, don't get tired."

    Qin Chu took a deep look at her: "I'm not tired at all, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

    "Dengtuzi-" Qiu Jinning understood instantly, gave Qin Chu an angry look, and turned back to the house.

    Qin Chu watched her enter the door, then hurried back to the mansion, intending to light up the night battle, and even brought the cheap dad.

    Master Qin didn't read many books, but he has been in shopping malls for decades, and his bookkeeping skills are unmatched.

    There are two fathers and daughters, one calculates in his head and reports the result with his mouth, and the other writes quickly, taking notes according to the table.

    After working until midnight, the two stacks of account books were checked.

    Master Qin put down his pen and stretched his waist: "Oh, I'm exhausted, you really can find work for me, I haven't worked so hard for so many years."

    Qin Chu rubbed Master Qin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Father has worked hard, we have two swords together, and we still have to work for so long. If Jin Ning is alone, how long will she be busy? I am really afraid that she will be tired."

    Master Qin blew on his beard angrily: "You love her, but you don't feel sorry for your father. You still make such a fuss at your age."

    "Father~" Qin Chu said softly and coquettishly, he had already regarded Master Qin as his own biological father in his heart.

    Master Qin shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, stop rubbing, it doesn't matter how important your subordinates are, how can my precious girl know how to serve others, you did the right thing, you shouldn't let your daughter-in-law be tired, she is a girl in the officialdomIt’s not easy, so please help if you can.”

    Although Qiu Shilang is also working in the Sixth Department, but the father and daughter are one in the official department and the other in the household department. It is powerless to interfere. Qiu Jinning can only rely on himself at the moment.

    Qin Chu smiled: "Yes, my daughter will ask Daddy for help next time."

    With the help of cheap daddy, bookkeeping is more effective.

    The corner of Master Qin's mouth twitched, but there was no need to think about him that way.

    The next day, Guanzi went to the Minister's Mansion early in the morning to deliver the account books, and even brought a message for Qin Chu: "Our lady said, if there is any matter of settlement in the future, Miss Qiu, don't worry about it, leave it to her, our lady will settle the accountsAs for the ability, one is worth eight, others can be busy for a month, and the young lady can finish it in half a day."

    The young lady is invincible, and nothing is difficult.

    Seeing the little maid talking big words, Qiu Jinning nodded with a smile: "Yes, I know your young lady is the best."

    Guan Zi proudly raised his head, that's of course, Miss Qiu really has a good eye, she has a discerning eye.

    Back at the household department, Qiu Jinning sent the checked accounts to Mr. Lu.

    "My lord, I have already checked the income and expenditure of last year."

    "So fast?" Mr. Lu was unconsciously surprised.

    He specially ordered everyone in the household department to perform their duties and not to interfere in the affairs of their colleagues, so that Qiu Jinning could not find anyone to help him. Unexpectedly, this woman was very capable.

    He took out a few books at random, the lines were clear and the writing was clear, it was really all done.

    Master Lu coughed lightly, sighed and said, "Master Qiu, if you came to the household department sooner, I wouldn't have to work so hard. The people below are useless, and the account books from the previous year are still waiting for someone to check."

    "My lord, wait a moment."

    Qiu Jinning turned around, picked up another stack of account books, and put them on the table.

    Master Lu showed surprise: "This is?"

    Qiu Jinning said indifferently: "The one from the year before last has also been checked."

    She had expected such an encounter, so when Qin Chu found her yesterday, she planned ahead, and she was the one who had worked hard.

    Master Lu was stunned for a moment, and after recovering from his senses, he gave a few words of encouragement, and then entered the palace with the account book.

    In the imperial study room, the empress flipped through the account books: "Lu Aiqing, Qiu Jinning checked this all by himself?"

    "Returning to Your Majesty, I didn't ask anyone to help me. Qiu Langzhong's calculation skills are astonishing. With the strength of one person, he completed the check in just a few days."

    If this was entrusted to other people in the household department, they would all be busy with the work, and it might not be finished in eight days. Qiu Jinning finished it in only five days alone.

    If it wasn't for the few books that were randomly checked, he wouldn't believe it.

    "The handwriting is wrong. Are you sure she didn't ask for help." The queen looked at the handwriting on the account book, and it was obvious that it belonged to two people. One was clear and powerful. She had seen it before, and it should be from Qiu Jinning.

    The other is smooth and smooth, and he looks like an experienced bookkeeper.

    Master Lu hesitated: "I watched her check every day before leaving the office, so I went back to the mansion one step earlier last night. She didn't find help so quickly in this night."

    If it wasn't for Qiu Jinning who didn't leave until it was dark yesterday, he wouldn't have left first either.

    The queen was silent, and the people sent to watch the servant's mansion did not find anything unusual. No accountant came to the door, and Qiu Jinning did not go anywhere else after leaving the office. The only person she saw was the woman named Qin Chu.

    The subordinates were more careful, and followed to the Qin Mansion to watch, but did not see a large number of accountants entering the door of the Qin Mansion.

    It seems that Qin Chu is also a capable person, and it is no wonder that he can figure out the method of accounting.

    Although Qiu Jinning chose a female husband, Qin Chu was obviously not mediocre, and Huang Nu had a unique vision.

    "Retire, don't embarrass her again in the future, find a chance to promote."

    Master Lu kowtowed, and the way back could not be calm for a while. Qiu Jinning is now a household doctor, and if he is promoted, he will be a servant. There is no precedent for a female servant who is only 21 years old in the history of Baiyue.

    How much His Majesty valued Qiu Jinning, thanks to the fact that he thought he could sulk when he first got the empress's favor, but he didn't expect that this woman fell into the empress's eyes, and he couldn't afford to provoke her at all.

    On the contrary, he bet on the second prince early, but in the end it was nothing.

    A good bird chooses a tree to live in. It seems that we need to make a plan early. The eldest prince seems to have a better chance than the third prince...

    A few days later, when the household department was checking the accounts of previous years, it was discovered that there was an error, and it was Qiu Jinning who discovered the error.

    Master Lu, Minister of the Household Department, asked for credit for Qiu Jinning, and the Queen repeatedly praised this talented woman, and promoted her to be the servant of the Household Department.

    As soon as Qiu Shilang heard the news, he rushed back and asked his daughter, "Jin Ning, did you really discover the flaw in the account of the Ministry of Accounting?" This is too coincidental.

    Qiu Jinning nodded slightly, then shook her head again: "It's true that I discovered it, but it can only be discovered by me."

    Because Master Lu only arranged for her to check it alone, and didn't ask anyone to help, there was no chance for others to find out.

    There must be something strange when things go wrong, she was promoted too strangely.

    "Speak"?
