But her decision to stay or stay is not something she can decide. She is not sure how many people the second lady has placed in Wutong Courtyard, but she is obviously the most useful person at present.

So the second wife will not let her leave the third grandmother's side.

But the third master and the third grandma don't like people to wait on them. As the most useful big girl around them, she only serves the wash water every morning, some snacks at noon, and occasionally helps to pass on some messages. She completely intervenes in other things. Not getting started.

With few things to do, the information she can get will not be much, and the things she can do for the second wife are also limited, which is okay in the short term, but if the second wife thinks that she has two hearts, she will feel that she is incompetent.

If the second wife is convinced of the first point, then her sister will suffer. If the second wife thinks it is the second point, then she will become an abandoned child.

For her sister, for herself, she will definitely do some risky things at that time, but the third master and the third grandmother are not soft-hearted people, and they are both so smart, and her identity as a spy is well known by everyone. As long as she makes a slight movement, she will send herself to the knife.

Once something happens to her, her sister's best end is to continue to be an irrelevant girl. I'm afraid that the second wife will use her sister to continue to do this kind of thing, or simply use her to fill the anger of the third master and the third grandma. .

To advance is to die, to retreat is to die, Heart has no choice at all, so when faced with Li Baolu's question, she can only bow her head and say: "Your servant obeys grandma."

"If you are willing to come with me, I will bring your younger sister over with the second lady, and then you can be our companions." Li Baolu said with a smile: "If you want to stay in the Gu family, I will also give you some rewards, after all You have also served me for a period of time, so you should fully serve our master-servant relationship."

Heart twitched, she couldn't help clenching her fists, "What the third grandma said is true? You, can you really ask the second lady for my sister? Will the second lady be willing?

Li Baolu sneered, "She will be willing."

Hearts are very excited.

It is of course good to be able to recognize the third grandma as the main one. She is not a harsh person. Although she is a spy, her life in the past four months has been pretty good.

Thinking of this, Heart, who was already a little bit excited, became even more excited. She secretly glanced at the car curtain, gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to kneel down in front of Li Baolu, and said in a low voice, "I am willing to follow Third Mistress."

Li Baolu showed a satisfied smile. Seeing her cautiously glance at the car curtain, she smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Erlin is one of us."

Hongtao was surprised, Erlin was the son of the Gu family, when did he become the third master and third grandmother?

"He is the only one in Erlin's family, and he has decided to go with us." That's why she said this to Hongtao in the car. Forever.

Although Heart is eyeliner, it is not a very annoying eyeliner. She has been very winking in the past four months. Except for squatting in the corner of their wall last time, Li Baolu used it quite smoothly the rest of the time.

So not bad for her senses.

What's more, she didn't need to yell at a knife, and her moves were also aimed at the person holding the knife.

Li Baolu domineeringly rehearsed all the things she would do when she returned to Gu's mansion, feeling all kinds of excitement in her heart, hum, Brother Jing Yun is not at home, so she can finally do whatever she wants.

Do you think they can be bullied casually when they are alone? Hmph, they are too small.

Li Baolu was gearing up for a big fight, but suddenly froze after a while. Before she came back, her aunt told her that she was not good at socializing, so she had better pretend to be a fool and let Jing Yun go.

Wouldn't it be a bad thing if she acted too capable?

Li Baolu was full of confusion and could not make up her mind for a while.

Confused, Li Baolu returned to Gu's Mansion and saw Hou's chief steward in the Wutong courtyard. The property account book of the Hou Mansion sent by the Lord, said to be for you to check."

Li Baolu stopped being entangled in an instant, and she snorted coldly in her heart, who said that a silly girl was fooled by someone? I'm not so worldly, but am I a technical talent?

Li Baolu went straight into the room, nodded and said, "Bring it in."

The chief steward hurriedly asked someone to carry the box in.

Li Baolu picked up a book casually and opened it. The handwriting on it was still new, obviously newly sorted out.

There are only a few hectares of fields in a certain place above, among which how many are good fields, how many are middle fields, and how many are lower fields.

No value is indicated.

It was the same thing when Li Baolu looked through the list sent by Gu Houye last night. It also listed the things distributed to them in the same way, and the latter was of no value.

And the last one is stand-alone, it is the property Guhou promised to them in Baoding.

Li Baolu put the list aside, picked up another one and said to the chief manager: "Call the managers of these farms and shops, I have something to ask them."

The chief steward took it over and found that it was all properties in the capital city. There were three shops and a farm, which were one of the properties allocated to Gu Jingyun by Lord Hou.

The chief steward turned around and ordered his confidant to invite someone, while he stood respectfully aside and waited for the order.

Li Baolu ignored him, but picked up the booklet in the box and flipped through it. After picking up a big abacus, she started typing, and from time to time recorded a number on the paper.

She does not have Gu Jingyun's photographic memory, but she is smarter than ordinary smart people.

After coming to the capital, she had nothing to do, because considering that most of them would settle in the capital in the future, she began to inquire about the consumption situation in the capital.

How much is the rent for the house, what is the approximate price to buy, how much is the shop, and how much is the field.

It is impossible for her to be as proficient as the big stewards, but she only needs to calculate a rough estimate.

It is determined that Gu Jingyun's share of the property is 70% or 70%.

As for Gu Houye, Mrs. Gu and Gu Huaijin's private property, she had better not think about it.

If you really want to include those, you will not only tire yourself, but also piss off the other party.

In the end, it may not be possible to make more money.

Li Baolu picked the place she remembered to calculate, and it didn't take long to complete an account book, and a lot of numbers were recorded on the large paper beside her.

The chief steward glanced at him, his heart shuddered, and he didn't dare to despise Li Baolu any more.

Li Baolu's speed of setting the abacus at the beginning was obviously not very fast, not as fast as that of the accountant in her family, but it took a lot of effort, and the speed of the other party's hands was not inferior to that of a skilled accountant.

No wonder the third master dared to entrust her with such an important matter. It turns out that the third grandma's ability is here.

However, it's just a plan.

The senior manager bowed and stood aside, but Li Baolu didn't tell him to go down, but let him stand aside and watch.

When the person she called arrived, Li Baolu stopped what she was doing and looked at the four of them, and asked, "Do you know that the property you manage now belongs to the third master?"

The four of them looked at each other, and couldn't help sneaking glances at the chief steward.

The chief manager lowered his head and didn't look at them, the four of them could only bite the bullet and nod.

"Very well, then tell me about the value of the shop and Zhuangzi you manage."

The four of them became more apprehensive, and carefully reported the four data.

Li Baolu nodded, it was similar to her estimate.

She pulled four pieces of paper from the side, wrote down the names of various places, and handed them to four people: "As a manager, you must not only know the value of the shop and farm that you manage, but also the prices in other places, so as not to let the owner When you want to buy a shop or land, there is a reference price. I don’t know how many places you know the price of. There are some places listed here. You fill in the ones you know, and leave the ones you don’t know temporarily blank.”

Li Baolu asked Hearts to hand out the four pieces of paper, and gave them each a pen and a pool of ink, and asked them to stand in the four corners and write by themselves.

The four looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this to prevent them from communicating with each other?

The four stood apart and thought to themselves: It seems that this new master is not easy to fool. Is this testing them, or is it purely looking for a reason to drive them away?

Fortunately, they really know the prices in many places. The key is that they have more or less acquaintances in the places listed on the paper. During the Chinese New Year, when everyone gathers to account and communicate, they can still remember a lot.

The four wrote down their answers with confidence.

The chief steward raised his eyelids to look at them, and sighed slightly, so that the third grandma could know the unit price from them, and naturally, she could also calculate the property value.

Fortunately, there is no problem with the value of the property Hou Ye gave them. Hou Ye prepared these things to distract the third master, but unexpectedly asked the third grandma to do it.

Knowing that they will divide their production and branches, I don't know whether the third master who entered the examination room can answer the questions with peace of mind.

Li Baolu was thinking about it amidst the chief manager's wild thoughts, and after getting the price survey done by the four of them, Li Baolu's speed became even faster.

The four of them stood aside, without any contempt for the grandma who was about to follow.

The chief manager quickly reacted, and after sweeping the four of them, he turned around and ordered his servants to take care of the third grandma, and then turned to report to Master Hou.

Gu Houye put down the pen in his hand, looked at the chief steward Gong Li standing below, and said, "So it seems that she was just pretending to be a fool before?"

The chief steward thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily the case. I think that although the third grandma is good at calculating accounts, she lacks in understanding of the world, and she is much worse than the third master."

"But she is not lacking in cleverness," Gu Houye sighed, "What happened today has helped her. Those old slaves are very tricky. After seeing her ability to plan, I'm afraid they won't dare to fool her in the short term. gone."

Master Gu shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry about her, let her figure it out by herself, get ready for the branch of the eighth day, when there will be many people from the clan, our Gu family is already embarrassing enough, I don't want to worry about it anymore embarrassment."

"Really let the third grandma enter the ancestral hall instead of the third master?" The chief steward hesitated: "The ancestral hall is not a place where women can enter."

Gu Houye said indifferently: "This is the end of the matter, there is no need to embarrass them in this matter. Since he has chosen his wife, let his wife go, as long as she can hold the scene."

Gu Houye sneered, "But if she can't hold on, it will be their face if she loses it."
