Lady of the Lord From the East

Qin has always been an ambitious maid, she is not willing to be an ordinary maid, and her ultimate goal has always been a housekeeper.

And the appearance of Wei Wei made Qin feel that she was one step closer to this goal. It can be said that besides the housekeeper and Dolores, she most hoped that Wei Wei and Felix would be better.

But she didn't think she might become an accountant before becoming a housekeeper.

Or the accountant of the count.

The salary of a professional accountant is much higher than that of a maid, and it is very decent. Basically, only men who are knowledgeable and trusted by the master can do it. Women are never allowed to be accountants. Some private wealth calculations.

Qin knew very well that if Wei Wei hadn't spoken, she would never have had such an opportunity in her life.

She didn't know if she would have the opportunity to contact these after completing this mission, but Qin was still very grateful to Wei Wei.

So did Dolores' two maids.

Three maids and two male servants, including Ward, called by Butler Barton, formed a temporary transcription team. After Wei Wei explained the workflow, they were placed in another room to transcribe the form.

The five selected people are all smart, even the two maids who are about the same age as Dolores are not bad. Otherwise, it is impossible to just listen and learn to be similar to Dolores. Wei Wei goes to check from time to time and finds that They quickly went from unfamiliar to proficient, understanding the entire workflow.

They even know how to take turns sharing the work. Two people read the ledger, two copy it, and the remaining one is responsible for making sure that the content in the table is exactly the same as that in the ledger.

The ones that were sent to Wei Wei were all transcribed forms, and some errors that were found in the transcribing would be marked next to them.

However, such mistakes are relatively few, and they will only make mistakes in some trivial and easy to fool past. The wrong amount is not large, which is completely different from the new ledger that Felix brought back.

Felix was expressionless when he knew this.

From the point of time when the frequency of mistakes suddenly increased, it is clear that the accountants who worked for them for many years started after their father and brother became ill, and after their death, presumably knew some of Felix's Deeds, the people who do the accounting have come up with ideas that they should not have, and tentatively increased the intensity of false accounting, thinking that they could hide from their young earl.

It's a pity that no one thought that Felix would ask for help because he wanted to be alone with Wei Wei, and the accountants' fake accounts were invisible under the new-style table.

The final conclusion is that these people should have been embezzling the property of the Earl a long time ago.

Such crimes would be enough for them to be sentenced to death by the enraged Count, or to be deprived of their status as freemen and become slaves.

Felix chose the former, he felt he didn't need such slaves, they deserved to go to hell.

Not only that, but their homes should be raided, their families would be charged as hard work, and those seized properties would be used to fill their gaps.

During the whole process, Felix did not express any opinion on Wei Wei, who was ordered by his subordinates.

Corruption is an unacceptable behavior. If you do it, you must be prepared to be punished. Although it is a bit harsh to be sentenced to death, this is the Middle Ages, an era when the lords treated their subjects as private property.

But because of this, Felix suffered a lot of blows. When his subordinate knights took orders to raid the house and arrest people, he was like a deflated balloon, and he stuffed himself into the chair, covering his face with his hands. What an expression.

Dolores had already run away from the critter's instinct before Felix got angry. Wei Wei didn't stop her when she saw that, she simply gave her a holiday.

So at this moment, there are only him and Wei Wei in the study, and only Wei Wei is seen like Felix.

Between comfort and silence, she chose the latter.

So the only sound left in the study was the occasional sound of a quill swiping across parchment.

This made Felix, who was waiting for her to comfort him, have to raise his head, and looked at the indifferent girl opposite with aggrieved and dissatisfied eyes.

It is naturally impossible for the person being stared at without noticing.

Putting down the quill, Wei Wei looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"You should comfort me at this time."

"But I thought you needed Jingjing." Wei Wei humorously said a stalk, although the other party couldn't understand it.

She shook the abacus in her hand and said solemnly, "Look, I didn't even fiddle with it for you."

The movement of the plan is not small, look at how considerate she is.

Felix: "Are you serious or just kidding?"

Wei Wei thought for a while: "Okay, I'm joking, how are you feeling now?"

"Still very angry." Felix wanted to get angry when he thought of this: "I probably really don't fit to be a qualified earl."

"I think you've done a good job." Wei Wei flipped through the form and talked to him while working: "People in the castle respect you, especially those knights. I'm afraid another person can't control as quickly as you. them."

From Wei Wei's point of view, Felix is ​​already a good earl because of his respect rather than fear. You must know that most nobles will not have a good impression in the eyes of the lower classes.

Even the beautified knights in later generations are not good people in the eyes of ordinary people at this time. Although they advertise themselves as restraining themselves with the creed of knights, how righteous can people who can often pretend to be robbers to rob?

Therefore, Wei Wei believes that Felix has done a good job, at least the other nobles will not drive the beasts themselves, they will only let the subordinate knights do it.

"All you lack is time and experience, and once you get used to them, you'll soon find that these things aren't that hard to deal with."

Who wasn't in a hurry when they first started working? Wei Wei recalled the month she had been working part-time with her friends for a month, um, the job of errand girl is really not a happy memory.

"Then are you willing to accompany me?"

Wei Wei, who was just recalling the past, didn't hear what he said: "What?"

Felix repeated: "Then would you like to accompany me to get acquainted with these things? Would you like to take care of Sardinson County with me?"

His eyes were like sapphires in the light, shining with a unique light.

A little hot.

Wei Wei guessed that she was blushing because Felix looked more excited.

She was not a dull person, and naturally she could hear the meaning of Felix's words.

But it was really abrupt, weren't they still discussing work a moment ago?

She confirmed, "Is your words what I meant?"

"It depends on what you think." Felix stared at her. "If you're asking if I'm after you, I think it's pretty obvious."

Very obvious indeed.

Wei Wei shook her head: "Then I can only tell you that I have no plans to end being single at the moment."

She made a series of plans for herself, and there was really no love in it.

Felix listened to her words, but did not feel the frustration of being rejected, but nodded understandingly: "I know, I heard you say when you chatted with Dolores that people in your country must be at least eighteen years old. to get married."

Wei Wei did say this to Dolores, and it can't be regarded as cheating. The average marriage age of women in the Song Dynasty was indeed 18 years old (men averaged 24 years old), but most of them would be 13 years old. Even earlier, they started discussing relatives, and then began to prepare for marriage.

Will tell Dolores this, just because Prady's girls usually get married when they are fourteen, and the little girl is curious why she is not married at sixteen, so Wei Wei is half-truth. told her this.

She didn't expect Felix to hear this.

But she didn't mind following Felix's words: "Yeah, so I'm not going to think about it until I'm eighteen."

"I don't think it hinders anything. We can fall in love first and wait until you are eighteen before getting married."

In Felix's point of view, being single is not ending without getting married, so there is no conflict between Wei Wei's idea of ​​falling in love now.

Wei Wei's eyes widened, she couldn't understand where Felix's confidence came from so clearly arranged the relationship between them.

Did she show any liking for him over the line?

no!

Wei Wei looked at Felix with a look at the sand pig: "I'm pretty sure I didn't promise you anything."

"Then do you hate me?" Felix felt a little hurt. He didn't like the way Wei Wei was looking at him now.

Wei Wei thought for a while: "I don't hate it, but I don't like it either."

She knew this herself, indeed, in comparison with other people, she had a good impression of Felix - mainly because he was clean enough - but it did not rise to the level of liking.

After listening to her words, Felix was obviously stunned - maybe he thought Wei Wei had some feelings for him, who told everyone to say that.

Felix was really cheerful, and he quickly adjusted his mood and cheered: "Then you don't like other people, do you?"

"Yes."

He smiled and regained his confidence: "Then I still have a chance."
