Xie Rangchen: “…”
Forget it, just give her some more money.
You can never go wrong with this.
After breakfast, Yingyue brought over the embroidery pattern.
The patterns of sunflower and evening primrose are simple and clean, with yellow petals and green leaves interwoven, one like the sun and the other like the moon, forming a perfect fusion.
Helian Yu touched the palm-sized pattern and said with satisfaction: "Let's use this one. Let the embroiderers rest for a few days. You can make arrangements after they come back."
Yingyue responded: "Yingyue understands."
After Helian Yu finished speaking, he ran to wash his hands.
Xie Rangchen looked at Yingyue and ordered: "Butler Shen is in the accounting office, go there and withdraw 30,000... 50,000 taels of silver notes."
Yingyue bravely glanced at Xie Rangchen, thinking that the Imperial Master was truly indulging her master.
"Understood. Yingyue will be there soon."
After the two of them finished talking, Helian Yu just finished washing his hands and ran out.
She didn't use the handkerchief to wipe her hands, but went straight to Xie Rangchen and wiped his clothes with her wet hands.
The action can be considered subtle, after all, she was wiping it secretly.
It’s not subtle to say—indeed, everyone saw it.
Xie Rangchen had no choice but to let Helian Yu wipe her hands before he held her little head and pushed her away: "There won't be a next time."
Helian Yu put her hands behind her back, looking extremely innocent: "What is Master talking about?"
Xie Rangchen opened her lips to say something, but she didn't like his didactic tone, so she swallowed it back and just said, "I'll go change my clothes."
When he turned around, he heard Helian Yu sighing behind him: "Master is such a good person~"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
Yingyue also left and went to the accounting office to ask Butler Shen for a banknote.
The spacious accounting office was filled with account books, with a strong scent of ink and the sound of pages being flipped.
There are more than ten accountants in the accounting office, and Butler Shen is responsible for supervision and final reconciliation and reporting.
At this time, the accountants were busy, and Butler Shen was just walking back and forth in a white robe with dark patterns to supervise.
"Butler Shen."
Yingyue called softly, not daring to disturb the busy accountants.
When Butler Shen heard the noise, he turned around and saw Yingyue coming. He knew that she must be here to withdraw money.
He walked over quickly and asked with a gentle smile, "Miss Yingyue, how much do you want this time?"
"The Imperial Master said fifty thousand taels." Yingyue smiled and glanced at the account office. "The account office is always busy every time I come here. Butler Shen has worked hard."
"It's not hard." Butler Shen shook his head and smiled, with admiration in his eyes, "Young Master trusts me and gives me such an opportunity, how can I let you down?"
"Miss Yingyue, wait a moment. I'll go get the banknotes."
Butler Shen turned and went into the accounting office.
Yingyue knew that every time money was withdrawn, it was from the private account of the Imperial Master. The account books of the Imperial Master's Mansion were extremely heavy and complicated. There were many shops doing business, and the charitable expenditures for the people, the expenditures in the mansion, and the private accounts of the Imperial Master were all separate. The amount of calculations was enormous, and a dozen accountants were barely able to cope with it.
Not long after, Butler Shen came out with a moon-white purse and handed it to Yingyue.
Yingyue took the purse: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Butler Shen took out another ten taels of silver and handed it to Yingyue. The young butler looked a little embarrassed and blushed. "Miss Yingyue, please help me find out if there is any rouge suitable for a simple and elegant woman."
Yingyue asked curiously, "Butler Shen is going to give it to his sweetheart?"
Butler Shen is usually very busy and self-disciplined, rarely interacting with women, but suddenly a lover appears.
Butler Shen nodded, glanced to the south, and subconsciously kicked his feet. The whole set of movements seemed busy and meaningless.
Yingyue thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember who this Snow Eagle girl was, so she asked, "Butler Shen, who is the Snow Eagle girl?"
"Xueying was serving tea in front of the young master's hall. Miss Yingyue should have seen him, but she didn't know him very well." Butler Shen's ears were slightly red, and his eyes were unnatural. "Miss Xueying is very good at martial arts, has a good personality, and knows a lot about tea. Miss Xueying is really good."
"Pfft, it can be seen that Butler Shen and Miss Xueying have a very good relationship." Yingyue smiled and blessed, "Can you show me what she is like later? I think I can see Miss Xueying's appearance and style, and choose a rouge that suits her better."
"good!"
Butler Shen realized that he was too excited, coughed twice, and then regained his composure.
When the two of them arrived at the main courtyard, there happened to be guests there.
Butler Shen was familiar with the relationships among the various families in the capital. Combined with the intelligence from Shangyang Tower, Wannian Restaurant and other teahouses, it was no exaggeration to say that he had liberated the entire capital city except the imperial palace.
He reminded Yingyue in a low voice: "It's the daughter of the Jingzhao Yin Liu family and her maid Yun'er. Their personalities... are not easy to get along with."
Yingyue muttered, "She looks pretty good. By the way, where's your Snow Eagle girl?"
"On the right of you. The plain one is her."
Yingyue looked over and saw that there was indeed a pretty girl on the right. She was tall, calm, and dressed in simple and elegant clothes. She was exactly as Butler Shen had said.
Butler Shen and Yingyue stopped chatting and went into the main hall.
When autumn came, Helian Yu disliked the old-fashioned style of the tables and chairs in the hall, which did not match the autumn season, so she replaced them with a whole set of golden nanmu tables and chairs. She also replaced the porcelain vases and other items on the table with colorful porcelain ornaments.
Under the sunlight, the tables and chairs in the hall shone with golden light, and there seemed to be countless flowing golden threads before one's eyes. The whole main hall was shining with golden light and was very dazzling.
Yingyue walked to Helianyu's side and said, "Master, I have taken it."
Helian Yu nodded, and prepared to go out to play, so he drove the guest away: "Miss Liu, I have something else to do, so I can't keep you here any longer today."
Miss Liu sat on the golden nanmu chair, suppressed the sourness in her heart, smiled at Xie Rangchen, and then looked at Helian Yu: "Your Highness, I am a little confused and want to consult the national teacher. If you are anxious, go first, I will leave later."
Helian Yu noticed Miss Liu's embarrassed demeanor, and then glanced at Xie Rangchen who was calm and composed, and made a decisive decision - to go out and play!
She believed from the bottom of her heart that Xie Rangchen could handle it - he was smart and powerful, so why would he be afraid of a plot that was delivered to his doorstep!
Helian Yu was too relieved, so he took Yingyue away. Before leaving, he asked Xie Rangchen for credit in advance: "Master, I will bring you a wine glass when I come back. Don't forget to prepare a reward for me."
Miss Liu glanced at Helian Yu out of the corner of her eye and despised him from the bottom of her heart.
How could a princess of noble status take the initiative to ask for something? Where was the face of the royal family? "I won't forget. I have arranged for Chang Zuo to get it." Xie Rangchen was worried that she had been holding it in for a month and had been having fun outside. "Return home before dusk. Yingyue, remember to remind Yu'er."
Yingyue quickly agreed: "Yingyue will remember it."
Helian Yu glanced at Xie Rangchen with resentment, snorted, and ran out, and Yingyue quickly followed.
Butler Shen and the Snow Eagle on Xie Rangchen's right exchanged glances and smiled at each other at the same time.
Xie Rangchen: “…”
When he was blind? Flirting in front of him?
"Shen Fu, have you finished the accounting work?"
Butler Shen immediately became alert and quickly retracted his ambiguous gaze, and replied as hard as steel: "Sir, not yet, I will go back right away."
When Butler Shen turned around, Xie Rangchen stopped him as if he still had a conscience: "Wait, buy a batch of new tea in a few days. Xue Ying knows the tastes of everyone in the mansion, so he will help you do this."
Butler Shen smiled with his eyes bent, almost bursting into tears: "Thank you, young master!"
Shen Fu is a very insightful person and he can understand things immediately.
Xie Rangchen clearly intended to bring them together and bring them together, so how could he let him down?
Xue Ying met Shen Fu's gaze, his cheeks slightly red, and hurriedly walked around from Xie Rangchen's right to the front, accepting the task: "Master Xie."
After Shen Fu left, Xue Ying was still serving tea, and he felt more and more light-hearted.
"What's confusing Miss Liu?"
Xie Rangchen's words drew Miss Liu's attention back.
