"Uncle Chen, is this the account book that was sent over? "So many?" Chen Shouxin came to Uncle Chen's side and asked.

"Young master, this is only half of it. The other half hasn't been delivered yet." Uncle Chen said with a wry smile.

"Uncle Chen, I remember that we didn't bring the account room with us. "How many months do you think it will take for the old man to go through all these books?" Chen Shouxin crossed his arms and asked with a smile.

This was Mayu's challenge. Even if he brought the account office, with the current method of checking the accounts and so many boxes, he would not be able to find out within a few months.

"Young master, please say less. The old master is still upset." Uncle Chen glanced at Chen Changqing, then said softly to Chen Shouxin.

"Old man, there's no curse anymore, right? Leave it to me. " Chen Shouxin said indifferently after stretching his body.

"Nonsense!" Chen Changqing glared at him and said with a dark expression.

"Tsk, you really think I'm willing to do this? "Look at those words, they hurt my head." Chen Shouxin shook his head.

"Hurry up and finish this task, give the emperor an explanation, then ask the emperor for mercy. Who knows, he might just soften his heart and let us two go like farts."

"It's so good to return to the Imperial City. From now on, you should obediently go to the Imperial Court and earn Yue Tou honestly. Don't get involved with anything else." "All we have here is a simple lie to fool the emperor. Wouldn't it be enough if we told him that nothing had happened?"

"How dare you be so rude, you bastard …" "Bastard..." Hearing his words, Chen Changqing was trembling with anger.

Watching from the side, field officer Wang started to silently criticize. Lord Chen had a pretty good reputation back in the Imperial City and he was implicated by this prodigal son of his.

However, this kid was a prodigal, and the food he prepared wasn't bad. Although the journey had been arduous, he did not suffer any grievances when it came to eating. He had eaten many new dishes.

"Pass, take these boxes to the side, they look annoying. After we move to a new house, we can just take a casual look. " Chen Shouxin said to the postman beside him.

"We have to prepare our own meals for the kitchen. I guess I won't be able to eat much here, so there's no need for you to worry. "Oh, Youzi, give me some rewards."

The grapefruit by the side rummaged through its own small pouch, took out a small piece of silver the size of a peanut, and stuffed it into the hand of the stupefied postman.

"Thank you, sir, for taking these boxes to the chamber." Chen Changqing turned his head and glared at Chen Shouxin once again, before cupping his fist and saying to the postman.

"I dare not, dare not, I will arrange it." Fu Cheng bowed and said.

The silver shard in his hand still had a trace of warmth, but it was enough to make his forehead break out in a cold sweat. This silver could be exchanged for at least three buckets of rice.

"Go, go, make some arrangements." Chen Shouxin waved his hand and said.

He said he would eat the hotpot, so he had to eat the hotpot. This hotpot was something Chen Shouxin had brought over from the modern world, and it wasn't something that could be found in Great Zhou Dynasty.

Interesting to say, the Great Zhou Dynasty he was currently in was different from any history that Chen Shouxin had ever known. It did not appear in the historical dynasties. He did not know whether the space and time he lived in were the same or not.

Based on his limited historical knowledge, he concluded that the current financial situation of this Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. He even felt that his economic development was slightly better than when he was in the Tang Dynasty. After all, he could easily make up his old man's monthly salary.

You could say he was happy, because he had become one of the few transmigrators and the second generation of government officials. You could also say that he was suffering, because coming to a time and space like this was not so easy to assimilate.

Living conditions were limited, and living a life like this was extremely difficult. Anyway, once he had a certain level of self-control, he wouldn't need to wipe his butt with paper that could break his tender butt when he went to the toilet. Even if his old man went crazy, he would still steal some paper from the study and use it.

The only thing he could be happy about was that his old man treated him very well. Don't just look at the old man looking at you with disdain. In the past, he used to treat me like a treasure in his hands.

However, his mental age was still rather mature. He couldn't stand an old man who was tired of carrying him. Moreover, he had lost the patience to coax the old man. The relationship between father and son also became tense.

The souls of modern people still had a great influence on him. He could enjoy the class privileges that the feudal dynasty had given him, but he was somewhat unable to bear the rules and regulations here.

Furthermore, when he was young, he had already lost the heart of a transcender, so why would he care about that? You might as well work hard to improve your standard of living.

The other thing to pay attention to when living here was the imperial power, which was a supreme existence. No matter who you are, be careful when you speak and you will lose your head if you are not careful.

Thus, his life goal had been quietly adjusted. Why would he need to compete with those people for power? It would be nice to have a piece of land as a small landowner. Although the position of a merchant in the Great Zhou Dynasty wasn't high, his life was very comfortable.

He let his imagination run wild as he looked at the lamb in front of him. Once again, he sighed in his heart. Talking to the old man today was definitely an insult to him, and thinking about how hard it had been for the old man, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

The main reason was that the situation here was much worse than he had expected. Before coming here, he had thought that he would at most be able to live a comfortable life here.

Today, he had a close door, then Mayu came to welcome him alone. Then, he sent over a bunch of account books, showing Mayu's attitude completely. Mayor Mayu didn't even put the old man in his eyes. The boxes that were filled with account books had arrived so quickly, it was obvious that they were prepared.

In an era when communication was so underdeveloped, Mayu had received the news early on and was able to reflect the situation from the sidelines. It was just that even he himself did not dare to think too deeply into this question.

His thoughts drifted further and further away, so far that he couldn't even cut his finger.

"Young Master, what do you think Sister Liulian will eat today in the Imperial City?" Youzi asked after putting the sliced mutton onto the plate.

"How would I know? She should be eating some pastries due to her temper." Chen Shouxin shook his head and said.

When the hot pot was set up, Chen Changqing also walked over with a sullen face.

"Don't get on fire, there is always a road in front of a car, and naturally it will be straight from the boat to the bridge." Chen Shouxin said after pouring some mutton into the pot.

"I have been unable to sleep or eat on this journey. Today, I can finally eat a full meal and sleep in peace. "Don't think about the rest. Just eat all of the mutton."

"It seems like young master's skills have improved again. These pieces of meat are so thin that they kill people." Uncle Chen said with a smile on the side when he saw that his master didn't have any reaction.

Chen Shouxin was a bit depressed in his heart. He wanted to say something soft to the old man, but the words stuck in his throat and couldn't come out no matter what.

Even though it was just the small dining table of the four of them, and they were eating the delicious lamb chow, the atmosphere became increasingly silent. Uncle Chen tried a few times, but still couldn't stir up the atmosphere.

"I'm done eating. You guys eat." Chen Changqing ate a few mouthfuls and then put down his chopsticks. After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Young Master, Sigh! Let me take a look. " Uncle Chen said hesitantly.

"Why are you so worried about a meal?" Chen Shouxin threw the chopsticks onto the table.

"Young Master, please say less." Youzi said carefully.

"Everyone says that a motherless child is like a blade of grass, why did my mother leave so early? I have to suffer the old man's wrath all the time. " Chen Shouxin said dejectedly.

"Let him go in a hurry. With so many account books, it's not that easy to check them out. It's really the Emperor's fault for being so calm. What the fuck are you thinking?" Eat, eat all this mutton, they won't eat us. "

After saying that, Chen Shouxin picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the lamb in the pot. He didn't even dip in the sauce as he stuffed it into his mouth.

His heart was flustered. This was the result of his fear of the unpredictable future. He did not know how things would turn out on this side, and the old man's temper was notoriously bad and hard.

The 16 years of knowledge from before had all been turned upside down in this period of time. Even though his old man was not a small official, he was still sent here by the emperor with a few words.

The thought that he had put down when he was cutting the lamb appeared in his mind once again.

I don't know much about history, but there are a lot of historical dramas. In this era, where was the true law of the land? Now, Mayu kept saying that there were bandits here. What if something small happened and he did it to himself and his father, then he would pin the unwarranted crime on those unsuspecting bandits.

What if Mayu was even more shameless? Would he simply grab some people and chop their heads off, saying that these people were bandits who had killed their entire family? After that, he naturally became rich, so the two of them could only go to the Underworld to drink and chat.

In the future, everything was possible with just a few words.

Never underestimate the viciousness of the ancient people and their wisdom. In a dynasty where government power was one, the crazy things that they could do far exceeded your imagination.

Youzi didn't know what her young master was worried about, but now she could finally eat in peace. Thirteen or fourteen years old, the age of gluttony. Even though he could eat and drink with the young master everyday in the Chen Mansion, his appetite was greatly boosted as he ate the porridge.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to fight with you for it." Chen Shouxin helped her wash two pieces of radish slices, which were rare vegetables at this time of year.

"Yes, thank you, Young Master." Youzi mumbled as she ate the meat in her mouth, her face full of happiness.
