Chapter 115 Secret Realm (25)
After returning to the village to pay homage to the villagers and finding a good place to stay in the city, Ji Changyue took Ji Changan into the city.
The house she was looking for was not a good one, but fortunately it was close to the city lord's mansion and not far from the private schools in the city.
Because this was the first time to go to the city lord's mansion in the name of accountant, Ji Changyue got up very early.
Under her influence, Ji Changan also got up early and sat by the window reading.
"Chang'an, I'm leaving. Don't run around when you are at home alone." Ji Changyue warned.
Because she didn't know the cause of Ji Changan's death, Ji Changyue paid great attention to his safety.
Ji Changan smiled obediently at her, "Sister, I will wait for you at home."
After making arrangements for Ji Changan, Ji Changyue set off for the city lord's mansion.
As soon as I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, I saw a stern-looking man coming out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Sensing Ji Changyue's gaze, the man glanced at her indifferently. Ji Changyue was frightened by the light eyes and immediately looked away.
After the man walked away, Ji Changyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god, just by looking at each other, she felt like she had nothing to hide, and her whole body was seen through.
Butler Li, who was seeing the distinguished guests off, also saw Ji Changyue and said, "Girl Changyue, couldn't you just come at this time? Why are you here so early?"
Ji Changyue smiled and said, "I want to familiarize myself with the content in advance."
Ji Changyue was serious and responsible, and Butler Li was naturally pleased. Ji Changyue took the opportunity to ask, "Butler Li, who was that person just now? He doesn't look like someone from Wangxian City."
"That's a member of the Yunshang Immortal Sect." Guan Li said.
Seeing Ji Changyue's interest, he said a few more words, "That person came this morning and asked the city lord if he had seen anyone special recently, especially if he had seen a jade pendant."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered, "Hey, Changyue, I remember you picked up a jade pendant before. Could it be..."
Seeing what he was about to say, Ji Changyue immediately shook her head, "How could it be me? Master Li Xian has seen my jade pendant. If the person he is looking for is me, Master Li will definitely report it to the Ming Sect. Why would he send someone to look for it?"
Butler Li thought about it and sighed, "Fortunately, the city lord didn't say anything, otherwise it would be a big deal if I missed the immortal master."
Ji Changyue originally wanted to move away and run away immediately, but after hearing what Butler Li said, she calmed down and echoed, "The city lord is wise."
There were originally four people in charge of the accounting room, but one person left Wangxian City with his whole family because he was afraid that the resentful demon would come again. Therefore, the city lord's mansion really lacked an accounting room.
When Ji Changyue and the housekeeper arrived, it was still early, and there was only one young man inside, who looked to be about the same age as Ji Changyue.
Ji Changyue was stunned as she didn't expect that there was someone of the same age as her in the city lord's palace.
When Butler Li saw the young man, he smiled and said, "Yun Yan, let me introduce to you. This is Chang Yue girl, the city lord's new accountant. You will work together from now on."
Then he said to Ji Changyue, "This is Yun Yan. We are a great talent in Wangxian City. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Yun Yan."
It turned out to be him. Ji Changyue remembered that Uncle Yun Shu, Ji Changan's father, had praised him before, saying that he was the star of Wenquxing who came to earth and was a good son of the number one scholar.
In the past, Ji Changyue wanted to meet this person whom Uncle Yun Shu was praising so much, but he never thought that he would meet him under such circumstances.
Ji Changyue smiled at him and said, "I've admired you for a long time. Please take good care of me in the future."
Yun Yan nodded in agreement.
Butler Li handed Ji Changyue to Yun Yan and left. Seeing this, Yun Yan pointed to a place for Ji Changyue to sit down, and took out a stack of ledgers, "You should take a look at these first and check them."
Ji Changyue looked through it and found it was not difficult.
Ji Changyue spent the whole morning checking the ledgers. These were left by the person who left before. That person was careful and there were basically no mistakes in the ledgers.
Ji Changyue spent the whole morning going smoothly, except for the two elderly accountants who came later.
They seemed to be dissatisfied with Ji Changyue, a woman working with them, and loudly talked about how a woman could be so public and shameless.
Ji Changyue turned a deaf ear and just thought they were farting. However, Yunyan opened his mouth and said a few words for Ji Changyue.
However, it was obvious that the two of them did not take Yun Yan, a young boy, to heart. When they returned from rest in the afternoon, Ji Changyue heard that the two of them were acting strangely.
"People's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining. Nowadays, these women will really do anything for money. If you ask me, the girl should stay in the room and embroider, read the female precepts, have children, and marry her husband.
Teach your children, this is the right way."
"What Brother Cui said is absolutely true. How can women be compared with men? Working with men is simply an insult to men!"
The two of them spoke sarcastically, and their words all revealed their disdain for Ji Changyue.
Ji Changyue laughed as she listened to their words.
"why are you laughing?"
The two of them thought that after hearing these words, Ji Changyue would be ashamed and ask to leave, but they didn't expect that she would still laugh. She didn't know what to say!
"I laugh at these two old gentlemen who claim to be men, but are extremely stupid." Ji Changyue smiled, but her words were merciless, "If you two want me to leave, you can choose an aboveboard method, such as picking out my
mistake."
"But you two don't want to, you just want me to leave by myself, because you know that I was sent by the city lord, and you are afraid that the city lord will not follow your ideas and let me leave, and blame you two. So you can only choose to suppress me to satisfy
your expectations.”
"Nonsense!" The two of them shouted angrily, their faces turned red, and they fluttered their sleeves.
Yun Yan saw this scene when he came back. Ji Changyue single-handedly made the two old accountants so angry that they glared at them.
"What's going on?" Manager Li walked out from behind Yun Yan.
"Steward Li, you have to make the decision for me and Brother Cui!" One person pointed at Ji Changyue, his lips trembling, "This girl is simply lawless! Brother Cui and I are elders after all, we just said a few words to her and asked her to do her job well.
She insulted both of us."
"Really?" Butler Li turned to look at Ji Changyue, not convinced.
He had a very good impression of Ji Changyue. She was a smart and studious girl who worked hard to make progress despite her miserable life experience. She also had rules for treating others, which was definitely not what the two of them said.
On the other hand, these two people usually took advantage of their age and acted like they were old, and they did a lot of tricks behind the scenes. If he hadn't thought about them in the city lord's mansion for many years, he would have wanted to grab them and scold them.
Ji Changyue was not afraid of wearing shoes when she was barefoot, so she said directly, "Steward Li, these two seniors said that I, as a woman, should stay at home to support my husband and raise my children, and should not stay in the city lord's mansion with them."
Butler Li's expression changed when he heard this, "What do you two mean? Are you questioning the city lord's decision!"
"You're wronged, Steward Li!" Seeing that Steward Li was angry, the two people said hurriedly: "That's not what we meant, we just feel sorry for Chang Yue who has to support himself at such a young age."
"I know very well what you are thinking." Butler Li snorted, "Cui Laosan, I know that you want your nephew to enter the city lord's palace, and blame Chang Yue for taking his position. I will tell you today, even if the city lord does not
If Chang Yue comes, the location of this accounting room will definitely not belong to your nephew!"
Although Butler Li is usually gentle and gentle, he can be very frightening when he loses his temper. Even Ji Changyue was frightened.
With his purpose exposed, Cui Laosan gave up his excuses and slumped in his chair.
At this time, Yun Yan came over with the account book and handed it to Butler Li, "Uncle Li, this is the account book from previous years. I found that there are several incorrect entries in it."
The moment they saw the account book, Cui Laosan and Wang Ju's pupils tightened.
Almost subconsciously trying to grab the account book, Yun Yan adjusted his posture unintentionally and stood in front of Butler Li.
Seeing that the attempt to seize the account book was fruitless, Cui Laosan smiled and said, "This is the account book from five years ago. How could there be an error? Yun Yan must have read it wrong."
