After about a stick of incense, Baihui went to the west wing.

After waiting for a while, Ye Yinming saw Baihui coming, but did not see the young man surnamed Shen. He already had some vague guesses in his heart, and his face didn't look good.

Bai Hui blessed the remaining five people and said politely: "I have kept you waiting for a long time. The candidates for the accountant have been decided. I'm sorry to bother you all!" As she said that, she gave the little maid next to her a With a look in her eyes, the little maid politely handed each of the five people a red envelope, which was regarded as a small apology for delaying them for such a long time.

Ye Yinming accepted the red seal in humiliation, still feeling unbelievable in his heart, how could he lose the election! ? He believes that he will never lose to anyone in terms of talent and learning!

Seeing the other four people walking out of the west room under the guidance of the maid, Ye Yinming took two or three steps towards the door, but couldn't help but stop and called Baihui: "This Girl, stay here!"

Baihui stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "I wonder if Young Master Ye has any advice?"

Ye Yinming took a deep breath, clasped his fists and asked: "May I ask why you failed to win the election? I think I will not lose to Mr. Shen in arithmetic. Could it be...could it be because of the Yellow Crane Tower..."

He gritted his teeth and asked anyway. If he couldn't lose clearly, he would really not be willing to do so.

Baihui was stunned and immediately remembered the Yellow Crane Tower. It was just a one-time encounter, and she had long since forgotten Ye Yinming, but Que'er had a photographic memory for remembering people, so he had mentioned it to her a long time ago. Baihui had heard about it and didn't take it too seriously, but since the other party cared about that trivial matter at that time, which could hardly be called a disagreement, of course she had to speak clearly, so as not to ruin the reputation of the prince and the prince's concubine.

Baihui collected her thoughts and said: "Master Ye's arithmetic is indeed outstanding." The remaining six people actually answered all the questions on the previous paper correctly, and among them Ye Yinming and Shen Chengye Two of the fastest and best.

"It's just that Bixiaotang is hiring an accountant today, rather than holding an arithmetic competition." Baihui said implicitly but meaningfully. Seeing that the other party was still confused, she simply made it clear, "Master Ye, after finishing the paper, did he check it again?"

Ye Yinming shook his head: "Girl, I have confidence..."

He wanted to say that he was confident that he would never make a mistake, but he stopped talking in the middle of the sentence. He thought of Bai Hui's previous words that seemed to contain profound meaning.

Although it was only a few words, Baihui had already realized that this man was arrogant and arrogant. Seeing that he understood, she said nothing more.

Their Bixiaotang recruiter is the accountant, and they are not competing with who can do the math faster. When Ye Yinming finished the problem, he still had more than half of the stick of incense. He would rather hand in the paper early and leave. He is willing to take the time to read the paper one more time. With his mentality, how can he be a bookkeeper? Accounting is about dealing with numbers and accounts every day. If you do a lot, you will always make mistakes. It requires not only confidence, but also care and patience.

But because he was indeed proficient in arithmetic, he was retained. However, during the inquiry just now, he always seemed a little arrogant.

As I said before, Bixiaotang is recruiting Mr. Accountant!

Ye Yinming was stunned for a while, then he clasped his fists and said in a stiff tone: "Thank you, Miss, for your advice!" He followed him and left almost impatiently.

Baihui looked at his back and shook her head, thinking that there would be no more interactions in the future. She quickly put this man behind her and returned to the east side hall to serve him.

Ye Yinming returned to a small house he rented in the west of the city with a depressed expression, and his sister Ye Yili immediately greeted him.

"Brother, you are back!" Ye Yili keenly noticed that something was wrong with her brother's expression. She was confident in her brother's talents and had always believed that he would be hired by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but now it seems that she is afraid that someone in the middle Something unexpected went wrong.

Ye Yili thoughtfully did not ask any questions, showed a gentle smile, and said: "Brother, lunch is almost ready."

My sister's considerate behavior only made Ye Yinming feel even more guilty. Now that the family's food reserves are running low, they rely on their sister to make embroidery to supplement the family income. How could he, a majestic man, rely on his sister to support his family!

"Sister..." Ye Yinming took a deep breath and told the whole story, with a hint of humiliation and unwillingness on his face.

He thought he had done his best, but he failed to meet his talent... Sigh, if he had got that daughter, not only would he have been able to support his family for a few years, but he could also have changed to a better house so that his grandmother and sister could live a better life. A good life...

As Ye Yinming spoke, Ye Yili's eyes flickered. She didn't expect her brother to "lose" like this.

After she pondered for a moment, she comforted: "Brother, your talented sister understands best and will definitely succeed." She comforted her brother with gentle words, but she had some concerns in her heart...

Ye Yinming clenched his fist tightly and gritted his teeth: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely support this family." How could he, a man like him, continue to rely on his sister! He doesn't believe that he can't find a suitable job based on his own talents!

Ye Yili sighed secretly in her heart. After all, her brother was a scholar, arrogant and ignorant of the hardships of the world.

The brother and sister entered the house side by side and met Aunt Ye's kind and kind face. The whole family was in harmony...

After lunch, Ye Yili changed into a blue dress that was 80% new, and quietly went out to Bixiaotang.

She plans to go to the Crown Princess Nangong Yue to intercede for her brother.

Her brother never knew that she and her grandmother knew the Princess of Zhennan. When her brother was seriously ill, she and her grandmother were worried that because of his arrogant temperament, if he knew that the family had no money, he would not be willing to treat the illness. So we agreed to hide it from him together.

Just like this time, if her brother knew that she came to beg for a concubine, he would definitely stop her.

But my brother didn’t know that the house was really in trouble. What we had for lunch today was the rice and noodles that my grandmother had given her as a dowry. As long as you can find a suitable livelihood, dignity doesn't matter... Ye Yili said to herself, after all, the Crown Princess had promised to help her when she was in the capital...

An hour later, she entered Bixiaotang through Baihui, who led her into the small flower hall.

The weather in June is hot and dry. Even though the weather is a bit gloomy today, it is very hot and muggy without a trace of wind.

As soon as she entered the small flower hall, Ye Yili felt a cool and refreshing feeling, which made her feel refreshed. She glanced around without leaving a trace, and found several copper basins filled with ice cubes placed near the windows and doorways, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Nangong Yue was sitting on the mahogany armchair in the master's seat, drinking fruit tea leisurely.

Ye Yili straightened her back, stepped forward gracefully, and bowed her knees to Nangong Yue in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "I have met the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is well."

"Miss Ye, please sit down." Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile and motioned for her to sit down.

Nangong Yue probably guessed why Ye Yili came. Although she didn't see Ye Yinming, after today's first test, Baihui showed her the list of the six people. It has to be said that the name Ye Yinming surprised Nangong Yue. Later, she learned from Baihui that they had already met each other in the Yellow Crane Tower. Nangong Yue had to sigh that no matter in the past or present life, this Young Master Ye and Xiao Yi really has a bit of "evil fate".

Ye Yili took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Prince, Yili came today because I really have something to ask for, for Yili's brother Ye Yinming."

Nangong Yue appropriately showed a hint of surprise: "It turns out that Young Master Ye is Miss Ye's brother. That's a coincidence."

Ye Yili bowed and said: "My dear concubine, Yili is not arrogant, but my brother is a man of great talent. Can your concubine please be accommodating and give my brother a chance?"

Although she was asking for help, there was a hint of pride in her tone.

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Miss Ye, your brother is indeed very talented, but I have already hired Mr. Shen as the accountant, so it is hard to go back on my promise. Or is your brother willing to help the accountant?"

Help? Wouldn't that be giving someone a hand... Ye Yili frowned slightly. Nangong Yue had always been kind to her. She thought Nangong Yue would not reject her this time, but she didn't expect the other party to give her such a reply.

Her brother was going to be a Jinshi in the future, and his talent was beyond the comparison of a mere accounting clerk. She couldn't bear to ask her brother to work for that accounting clerk, even if her brother agreed with humiliation and humiliation!

But the problem now is that the family has no food to cook, and the elder brother still needs to study. Even though the elder brother is smart, he was exempted from studying by the headmaster of Qingmao Academy, so they moved the family to Luoyue City, but After all, they were unfamiliar with the place in Luoyue City. Although they were doing embroidery work for others, they were still unable to make ends meet and their family's financial situation was in jeopardy.

If this continues, I'm afraid it will delay my brother's studies...

Ye Yili half bowed her head and didn't speak for a while, and Nangong Yue didn't urge her.

Suddenly, Ye Yili raised her head with a look of determination on her face. She stood up and said to Nangong Yuefu: "Prince Concubine, Yili is willing to sell herself to the palace and sign a five-year living contract. I hope you can The Crown Princess is here!" She maintained her kneeling posture, half-casting her eyes, waiting for Nangong Yue's answer.

"Miss Ye," Nangong Yue said slowly, with a gentle but firm tone, "I cannot agree to this matter."

What? ! Ye Yili's pupils shrank in disbelief.

Boom--

There was a burst of thunder outside, and then big raindrops fell down in large pieces, hitting the eaves, leaves, and walls with a crackling sound.

But Ye Yili didn't notice it at all. Her attention was focused on Nangong Yue's words. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look towards Nangong Yue, and her eyes happened to meet Nangong Yue's clear and deep eyes. , for the first time, Ye Yili felt that there was a hint of sharpness in the other person's eyes. She always thought that the other party was a kind-hearted and soft-hearted woman, but it was not until this moment that she realized that she was totally wrong...

"Miss Ye, the palace has its own rules..." Nangong Yue continued, "If Miss Ye needs a job, I can arrange it for her..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Crown Princess!" Ye Yili interrupted Di Nangong Yue coldly, with a hint of hatred in her suppressed eyes. She begged Nangong Yue like this, but she didn't expect that Nangong Yue would reject her again and again! Obviously all this is just a piece of cake for Nangong Yue.

Ye Yili felt as if there was a hole in her heart, and the cold wind blew in.

Yes, she is the Crown Princess of Zhennan. When she is willing to help you, she will throw a copper plate to you like giving alms to a beggar; but if she is not willing, there are thousands of ways to humiliate you!

Ye Yili was blessed again and looked away: "Then Yili won't disturb the Crown Princess anymore. I'll leave first!"

As soon as she reached the threshold, she couldn't help but pause.

The big raindrops outside were getting denser and denser, and most of the ground was already wet. The little maid in green who was serving at the side immediately opened the paper umbrella cleverly and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, please come with me."

The little maid in Tsing Yi led Ye Yili out of the small flower hall. The two of them drifted away in the rain, and their figures soon became blurry...

Quie'er suddenly sighed at the side: "Prince Concubine, this servant finally knows what is the meaning of rice's kindness and rice's hatred!" It seems that he helped too much in the past, which fattened people's hearts.

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and said nothing.

Let alone a royal palace, any family with even the slightest rules would not use servants who only signed a living contract.

Moreover, living and death contracts are not the focus of this matter. Miss Ye's attitude of "condescending and bearing humiliation" really does not look like that of a slave. Her self-esteem is so strong that she doesn't dare to be her master...

The little maid in green accompanied Ye Yili all the way out of Dongyi Gate and then to Jiaomen.

"Miss Ye, this umbrella is not as good as..."

The little maid wanted to give this umbrella to Ye Yili, but before she could finish her words, she saw that Ye Yili had already covered her head and rushed into the rain.

The fine rain curtain made the surroundings look hazy, and the raindrops fell down the corners of her eyes and eyelashes, blurring her eyes and making her mind feel a little dazed...

Although she decisively rejected Nangong Yue's other arrangements just now, in fact, she had no idea what to do next!

Ye Yili was trotting with her head covered in the rain. Unexpectedly, a red horse suddenly appeared at the intersection in front of her. The man on the horse suddenly reined in the horse's rope. For a moment, the horse neighed and its two front legs were even higher. The high ground rises...

Ye Yili staggered in shock and fell to the ground. She raised her eyes and stared blankly at the tall horse's hooves, unable to react at all.

"Your Majesty!" The long attendant riding behind also appeared immediately. He was about to ask King Zhennan if he was okay, but he saw King Zhennan raising his hand towards him to signal him to be silent.

The King of Zhennan jumped off his horse neatly, threw the horse rope around, looked at Ye Yili who fell on the ground with burning eyes, and asked softly: "Girl, are you okay? ”

In the rain curtain, Ye Yili's dress was almost soaked, and a few strands of black silk were wet and stuck to her cheeks. She looked pitiful, like an orchid in the wind and rain, even if it was windy and rainy, Still blooming proudly.

Prince... Hearing Chang Sui's address to King Zhennan, Ye Yili immediately understood the other person's identity and looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.

The other party's frightened eyes like a deer made King Zhennan's heart tremble. He stared at Ye Yili's beautiful and elegant face and eyes as clear as spring water without blinking, his gaze becoming more and more intense.

Crash--

The rain is still pouring down...

……

The next day, Nangong Yue had just finished lunch when Que'er, who had been missing all morning, suddenly came with a mysterious expression.

Looking at Que'er's expression, not only Nangong Yue knew it, but the other maids also guessed that Que'er must have some exciting news to share, so they gathered around and listened with their ears straightened up.

After Que'er knelt down and saluted, he reported: "Your concubine, that Mr. Ye is Mr. Ye Yiming, who was appointed by the prince as the secretary of the palace early this morning."

Shu Zuo, who is responsible for writing documents, is a low-level official, but for a scholar without fame, it can be regarded as a "step to the sky".

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. Although Ye Yinming was named number one on the gold list in his previous life, it was several years later. How could he be so suddenly appreciated by the prince now?

The other maids also looked at each other with suspicious expressions, and followed them to focus on Que'er.

Que'er couldn't hide her pride and puffed up her chest. After she collected her thoughts, she said with a strange expression: "Yesterday, after Miss Ye left the East Street gate, the prince happened to be back. Miss Ye was almost killed by the prince. The horse bumped into her and she was a little frightened. The prince ordered someone to help Miss Ye back to the palace. He also sent someone to invite Mr. Ye to come and pick up Miss Ye... According to Bai Shao, who was waiting in the study outside the prince, yesterday the prince and Mr. Ye were waiting in the study. Mr. Ye talked freely in the study for an hour, and was impressed by Mr. Ye's talent, so he made an unusual appointment!"

The maids looked at each other again, with different expressions, ranging from surprise, doubt, ridicule, or laughter.

Nangong Yue’s brows raised even higher. It had to be said that the development of this matter was beyond her expectation.

But she didn't care too much. Anyway, what happened to Ye Yinming's brother and sister in the future had nothing to do with her.

But Magpie...

Nangong Yue took another look at Que'er and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. It seemed that this girl was already enjoying herself in the palace.

At this time, Baihui came back from the front yard, blessed Nangong Yue, and said, "Your Majesty, the accounting office has been set up."

After talking to Shen Chengye yesterday, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to arrange a small courtyard with two entrances for him to stay temporarily in the back room, and assigned a rough lady to serve him.

When Shen Ping, the manager of Shen University, passed away, Shen Chengye was only a teenager. He didn't know about the old prince's entrustment. The only thing he knew was that his father committed suicide and his mother hurriedly left southern Xinjiang with him.

Although Nangong Yue was a little disappointed, it was more or less expected. Anyway, things would eventually come to light one day, so she was not in a hurry.

Shen Chengye also asked him about the cause of his father's death at that time, but Nangong Yue did not explain it clearly and only said to let him settle down first.

At this time, after hearing Baihui's reply, Nangong Yue slightly nodded and said, "Go and get the account book on my desk and send it to the accounting office. You don't have to say anything, just wait for him to read it. Come back when you're done."

Baihui responded and went to do it.

And Nangong Yue was leaning on the beauty's couch and reading "Southern Xinjiang·Geography". Although she had read the book once after buying it, she had only flipped through it hastily. Now Xiao Yi has gone to the southeastern border, Nangong Yue took out the book again.

Turning to the page with the bookmark, Nangong Yue looked down carefully. When she saw "The southeastern swamps are densely covered with miasma...", she frowned slightly and said, "Thrush, go Bring "Southern Xinjiang Baicao" from my study."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

Soon, "Southern Xinjiang Baicao" was in Nangong Yue's hands. As she was flipping through it, Baihui came back.

"Prince Princess." Baihui Fushen said, "The accounting office has already seen the account books."

Nangong Yue put down the book in her hand, raised her eyes and asked, "What did he say?"

Baihui replied clearly: "The accounting office said this is a fake account."

Nangong Yue smiled. It was less than an hour before Baihui took the account books to the Accounting Office. In other words, the Accounting Office did not actually check the account books one by one before coming to this conclusion.

Nangong Yue asked: "What else?"

Baihui conveyed word for word: "Judging from the books, this should be the account book of a Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River. The time is the third year of the Ming Dynasty. That year, the weather in Jiangnan was good and there were no major disasters, but according to the account book It is recorded that a Zhuangzi with 300 acres of paddy fields had a profit of only 520 taels of silver. This is absolutely impossible."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly in agreement, thought for a while and said: "Bring all the account books of Tianshui Village over the years to the accounting office, and then ask Zhu Xing to find the local county records and hand them over to him..." She paused and said, "Ask him to rewrite the account book of Tianshui Village for the third year of the Ming Dynasty."

Baihui was slightly surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions and bowed in response.

"Quie'er." Nangong Yuexiao waved to Que'er and said, "You will take some small beads and flowers to give to the little sisters you know. The son of the manager of Shen Da is playing a role in Bixiao Hall. The accounting affairs were revealed..."
