"I understand!" replied Zou Bochang, bowing his head and stepping aside.
Xiqiu then had Chunliu take the two of them to a nearby side room for tea.
Jin Dairui came with his wife, and after Zou Bochang and Zhu Sancheng left, Nanny Jin took out an account book, held it in her hands, and said, "Madam sent fifty taels of silver earlier this year. Here are all the detailed expenses, we still have eight taels left, which I will give to Madam."
Chunyan glanced at Xiqiu, and Xiqiu nodded. Chunyan stepped forward to take the book, Xiqiu opened it, and was suddenly surprised. The account was meticulously kept, though largely in symbolic form, the writing was crooked, a clear sign of illiteracy. She raised her brows and looked at Nanny Jin.
