Chiseling the Wall

He Zhuonai has been a confidant of the eldest lady for many years, and is now the chief steward of the back house of the Shuai Mansion. Currently, all the accounts of the Shuai Mansion must be handled by her before they are handed over to the Gilles.

However, part of the expenses of Mangtai and Gude's father and son came from the accounting bills of the outer courtyard, which is currently beyond the reach of Gilles.

Speaking of which, even the account books and funds were put in charge of He Zhuo, which shows the Gilles' trust in her and He Zhuo's status in the house.

Of course, the person who ultimately makes the decision is still Gilles. Even if there is a mistake in the account book, Gilles can tell at a glance.

As the daughter of a traveling merchant, Gilles has slept with her head on the account since she was a child, and is naturally very keen on the amount of money. If it were not for her youngest son, Gilles would have saved the money over the years.

I'm afraid I won't be able to use it up in a few lifetimes.

It's a pity that the fight for the title is too difficult, and the Dan family is full of greedy people. The Gilles spent a lot of money, but they didn't get many things done. Now that they are in Hua Zhen's arms, she

It was also because I was so anxious that I came up with other ideas.

In addition to He Zhuo, there are one or two close confidants of the Gilles family, who are also good stewards. However, they are all left in their own families to help manage the Giles' property. The only ones who came to Baishuang City are

He Zhuo alone.

After sitting in a hexagonal pavilion, Gilles opened the account book and took a closer look.

Today is an overcast day in spring, with little sunshine, and the flowers and trees in the garden look weak and not as lush as before.

Perhaps this is not entirely due to the weather.

Not long ago, the flowers and plants in this garden were torn apart and many of them were pulled out. Now, only half of the flowers and plants that have survived are less than half of what they were before. The excitement of the garden in the spring is no longer there.

, everything is desolate, it seems like autumn has entered early.

Gilles's mood was not affected, and he was even quite happy with the tranquility of this big garden. Seeing that there were no errors or omissions in the account book, he calculated that the upcoming income was indeed a large amount, just a few sticks of firewood.

It was still affordable, and the corners of her lips twitched into a smile, and the smile never fell.

"You guys, all go and wait in the back." Seeing this, He Zhuo immediately ordered in a low voice.

She knew her master best and knew that Gilles must have something to say, so she dismissed the little slave girls.

Sure enough, when only her master and servant were left in the pavilion, Gilles chuckled and said, "Are our young generals going crazy with anxiety these days?"

"Back to Master, I heard that the Major General didn't have dinner yesterday." He Zhuo's voice was very calm.

"Look, look, isn't this crazy?" Gilles laughed happily, and a childlike innocence appeared on her pretty face.

The seventh lady, Huazhen, has the appearance of her biological mother, and her smile is similar to that of Gilles. However, the sinister look in Huazhen's eyes is more like her father's recklessness. But Gilles obviously does not have that.

My daughter's delicate heart is indeed extremely naive at times, and she is so naive that she is almost cold-blooded.

For example, she has always naively felt that since she gave her daughter life, her daughter's life is hers. As long as her daughter lives for one day, she should sacrifice her life for her mother, even if she goes through fire and water.

Don't say goodbye.

But now, her daughter has really lost her life. As a mother, she is naturally sad. But apart from being sad, she is even more distressed by another thing:

From now on, there will be no one in Nadan's family to fight for the favor of her mother and her son, and to help her and her son make money. The mother and son are alone, and life will become increasingly difficult in the future.

This worry was like the low hanging clouds outside the hexagonal pavilion. Once it floated up, it became heavy and heavy. The smile on Gilles' face suddenly faded, and his brows furrowed again. He asked with a worried look: "

He Zhuo, have you sent someone to search carefully?"

He Zhuo knew what she was asking. He looked around, stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Master, I plan to find a few people to cut open the wall and take a look at it tonight."

Gilles was surprised: "Hey, do you still want to cut the wall?"

He Zhuo said, "I really can't find it outside. I've cut open the cabinets and looked at it."

When Gilles heard this, his face looked a little gloomy. After taking a few breaths, he nodded: "That's all, then go ahead and dig. Be careful not to alarm outsiders."

He Zhuo agreed in a low voice.

After Gilles finished explaining, he was not in a good mood. He frowned and looked at the flowers and plants in front of the steps. After a while, he sighed and said:

"Oh, Zhenzhen, this kid is too careful. He sent more than a dozen letters, but he didn't even mention where he hid the treasure, and now he has to find me, a mother, by myself.

It’s not that I’m picking on this child, she’s far behind Bao’er when it comes to filial piety.”

Bao'er is the son of the Gilles family, and he also came to Baishuang City with her this time.

He Zhuozi did not dare to accept his master's words, so he only said vaguely: "Miss Qi is always careful."

"No matter how careful you are, you can't leak anything!" Gilles seemed a little anxious. He raised his hand and patted the lintel of the stool, with a hint of complaint in his words:

"I'm a real mother, how difficult is it for her to tell me? Doesn't she know that I'm here in a hurry and waiting for money? I'm really anxious to death now, and I don't dare to tell anyone.

If the master knew that I demolished Zhenzhen's house, he would be angry again, so I don't understand what this child is thinking. If only she could think about me, she wouldn't hide it like this

It makes people anxious.”

The further he went on, the more resentful Gilles' words became, and his brows almost turned into knots as he continued:

"This child is so bad, weird and stuffy. You can't guess what she is thinking. I really don't know who she followed this temper. It's not lovable at all. I really regret it now. I didn't know what she was thinking."

She shouldn't have been allowed to go out alone. If I had known she was a shortcoming...if she left so early, I should have sent a few more people to watch her."

She patted the lintel of the stool and sighed and felt annoyed. He Zhuo stood aside silently until she had finished complaining, and then he said softly:

"Master is a good man. God hates the sadness of a good man. Master, look, isn't it God who is here to help you now? We haven't even arrived at Baishuang City yet, and the business is about to happen."

As she said this, she leaned forward again and whispered: "As long as this is done, the master and the young master will not have to worry about it in the next few years."

When Gilles heard this, she felt a little happy again, feeling that this deal was really a gift from God. However, when she thought about it again, she thought of the eight thousand taels of silver that Hua Zhen had promised so far.

No one knew where he was, and his body ached tightly, his eye sockets became sore, and he burst into tears.
