Chapter 1217 ·Ask for advice

Bai Rongxuan wanted to send Bai Xiuwei out in person, but she didn't expect to be stopped by him as soon as she reached the Ruyi Pavilion, "Okay, what are you sending me at noon? I can just go out by myself. You go back and look at the account book. As you do

If you waste your time, when will you finish reading? If you don’t understand something, ask Uncle Six for help. It’s rare to have such a good teacher, so how can you leave it alone?”

Bai Rongxuan nodded, "I understand."

Bai Xiuwei waved his hand and left in a hurry.

Aunt Fang looked at his back and said, "The young master is an upright and upright man, and he doesn't have the aura of a rich kid at all. Being in contact with him will only make people feel comfortable."

Bai Rongxuan said, "Yes, that's why I like Fifth Brother's character the most."

It wasn't until Bai Xiuwei disappeared that the two of them turned around and returned to the yard.

Bai Rongxuan walked straight to the small study room.

Aunt Fang said in surprise, "Master Zhi, why don't you squint for a while at noon to refresh yourself?"

Bai Rongxuan said, "No, I'm not sleepy at all."

The days were getting hotter day by day, but it was very cool in the small study. She drank tea and read her account book, which was just a good time to pass the time.

After looking at the account books for several days, Bai Rongxuan soon realized that there was something wrong. Last year, the accounts of Sanfang's Shanghai store were normal from May to May, but the accounts from June to August were less than half of the previous ones.

many.

What went wrong here?

Bai Rongxuan thought for a while, then found the account books of Changsha and Chongqing and compared them.

It was business as usual in Changsha, but Chongqing's accounts doubled in June and August.

What's going on?

Bai Rongxuan thought about it all afternoon but couldn't figure it out.

She hesitated for a moment, then went to meet Mrs. Min with the account book in hand, "Old Madam, do you know where Uncle Six will be at this time?"

Mrs. Min asked in confusion, "What are you looking for him for? But what happened?"

Bai Rongxuan said, "I was looking at the account books of the third room recently, and I encountered some questions that I couldn't figure out and wanted to ask Uncle Six for help."

Mrs. Min smiled and said, "So that's it, I asked Aunt Yi to inquire for you." Then she called Aunt Yi, "Where is Xiaoliu now?"

Aunt Yi said, "I just sent the news in the morning. I drank too much with Mr. Foreigner last night. I have nothing to do today and am just resting at home."

Mrs. Min said, "That's just right. Arrange a carriage to send Brother Zhi there. He has questions to ask."

Aunt Yi agreed immediately.

Bai Rongxuan hesitated, "Old lady! Uncle Six is ​​still drunk and must be feeling uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be a good idea for me to disturb him at this time?"

Mrs. Min said, "It's okay. It's rare that he is at home honestly. If you don't take the opportunity to catch him, how can he take care of you when he has something to do?"

Bai Rongxuan thanked her gratefully and followed Grandma Yi out the door.

She arrived at Min's house in a carriage.

Wu Jie, who was traveling with the carriage, put down his stirrups, and Bai Rongxuan slowly stepped down. The young man at the porter of the Min family recognized Mrs. Min's carriage and immediately came forward to help.

Bai Rongxuan asked in a low voice, "Is Uncle Six at home?"

The boy said, "He's at home. Do you want to see him?"

Bai Rongxuan nodded, "Just tell Brother Zhi from the third room of the Bai family that you want to ask for advice."

The boy said, "Master Zhi, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report." Bai Rongxuan sat in the concierge for a while, and then the boy hurried back, followed by Min Tingke's servants.

The servant said, "Master Zhi, Master Six please come in."

Bai Rongxuan responded politely and followed him into the inner courtyard of the Min family. All the way to the backyard, she saw the two official script characters "Gongyuan" written on the courtyard door.

Entering the courtyard, the first thing you see is a green bamboo forest. For a moment, you feel as if you are walking on a fresh country road. After passing through the bamboo forest, your eyes suddenly open up, with rockeries, flowing water, clusters of flowers, and koi carps in the small stream.

There were a few mandarin ducks swimming in the pool at one point.

Bai Rongxuan was amazed when she saw it.

Isn't this Min Liu really good at enjoying himself?

The plantains under the eaves are already as tall as a person, and there are cherry trees planted under the porch. When the cherries bear fruit, doesn’t it prove the saying ‘When the cherries are red, the plantains are green’?

Bai Rongxuan fell in love with this courtyard immediately.

After walking through the corridor, there is a more open courtyard behind. However, there are not too many flowers and plants planted here. The courtyard is clean and tidy. Birds are chirping in the birdcage on the corridor. Several maids as old as Xiao Yuan are sitting there.

He sat talking quietly and hid shyly when people came.

The servant led Bai Rongxuan to the living room without blinking his eyes.

The hall was neatly arranged, especially the pot of orchids on the table, which immediately caught Bai Rongxuan's attention.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quietly walked closer and took a closer look.

This orchid is really well maintained. If Yun Niang saw it, she would definitely like it.

Bai Rongxuan was watching intently when Min Tingke's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "What's the matter, you also like to raise orchids?"

Bai Rongxuan was startled by the sudden movement, "Uncle Six! You walk without making any noise. You will scare people by being so silent."

Min Tingke snorted, "Then how am I going to walk?" He deliberately stomped his feet hard, "Is this so? Can Master Zhi hear it?"

Bai Rongxuan patted her chest, "Uncle Liu, did you raise this orchid?"

"Who else is it?" Min Tingke said, "If you like it, I can move it away and give it to you."

"Ah?" Bai Rongxuan blinked, "No, no! A gentleman won't win the love of others, so how can I ask for the flowers you raise? I have a friend who also likes to raise flowers. If you meet in the future, you will definitely be able to tell me

Come together."

Min Tingke rolled his eyes at her, "I'm kidding you. Who has time to hide in the room and grow flowers and grass? The servants help take care of these things. I don't care about orchids and red flowers."

.But who is this friend of yours? Do you know him from Hangzhou or Nanjing?"

Bai Rongxuan wanted to bite off her tongue.

How come she has no memory!

Didn’t you repeatedly warn yourself not to talk nonsense in front of Min Tingke? Why can’t you control your mouth?

She quickly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Six, I came here today to ask you for advice on something serious."

"Oh, it's really rare." Min Tingke said lazily, "Tell me, let me hear how important it is for us to treat the young master's serious affairs."

This person doesn’t know how to speak well!

Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but glare at him.

However, looking at his expression as usual, he didn't look like he was drunk and unwell. Bai Rongxuan asked softly, "Uncle Liu, did you drink too much last night?"

Min Tingke said seriously, "Is this the serious thing you want to ask? Is it really serious..."

He laughed playfully.

Bai Rongxuan said awkwardly, "Of course not, am I not caring about you?"

Min Tingke said, "Thank you very much. It's great that you can take good care of yourself and care about me." He said this, but he still said, "I didn't drink too much, it's just that foreigners are very energetic after drinking.

Okay, I woke up in the morning with a severe headache. It happened to be nothing important, so I simply didn’t go out. Otherwise, when Master Zhi has something serious to ask for advice, where would we go to find someone?"

Bai Rongxuan angrily sent the account books to him, "Uncle Liu, take a look at these accounts."

Min Tingke said calmly, "Is this how you ask people for advice?"

Bai Rongxuan rolled her eyes at the boss, and finally bowed deeply to him helplessly, "Uncle Six, please enlighten me."

Min Tingke laughed proudly, "I don't dare take it seriously." He took the account book and flipped through a few pages at will, "What did you see?"
