Chapter 15: Mother's Room
After getting the seal, Luo Qianqian opened it on the spot and checked the authenticity.
"Thank you, Auntie, by the way, there are also account books, please send someone to my hospital. ”
Yan Ji should come down, "The Hou Mansion has a large population, and all aspects of the expenditure must be marked in detail, I will sort it out later, and then send someone to send it over." ”
"Well, that's troublesome aunt, grandmother told me that she has a general ledger there, bring it earlier, I will calculate it earlier, and learn to calculate accounts by the way, and others in the province will say that the daughter of the Hou Mansion is not sensible. ”
After Luo Qianqian finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Ji and left with his entourage.
Yan Ji returned to the courtyard angrily, and after closing the courtyard door, she reached out and slapped Chunling.
"Waste, who told you to take out the real seal?"
Chunling was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and explained tremblingly: "Xia He gave me that one." ”
The maid named Xia He didn't wait for Yan Ji to look over, and immediately knelt down at the feet of Yan Ji obediently, and her personality was also smart and capable, "Master, the fake one is rough in workmanship, if you take it out and be seen through by the third lady, then she will make a big fuss about this matter, which will be even more unfavorable to you." ”
Xia He is the most powerful of all the maids, and she is very measured in her work on weekdays, and hearing her say this, Yan Ji's anger has subsided.
But he still kicked Chunling hard and kicked her to the ground.
"Useless things, deduct your monthly money for three months, and grow your brain. ”
"Thank you, master, thank you. ”
Chunling kowtowed her head twice hard, trembling and getting up and retreating to the side, although she was deducted three months' monthly money, her face only had the happiness of the rest of her life, and disappeared from the sight of Yan Ji.
Luo Qianqian returned to the courtyard and found that her grandmother was sitting on a wicker chair basking in the sun, and when she saw the seal in her hand, she didn't have the slightest surprise on her face.
Instead, his gaze turned to the maid entourage who followed her, "Where's the ledger?"
Seeing her grandmother's indifferent expression, needless to say, Luo Qianqian could guess that it must have been negotiated between her grandfather and her to take back the housekeeping power from Yan Ji and give it to her.
"Grandmother, aren't you afraid that you won't give it to you?"
Luo Qianqian put down the seal, sat next to the old lady, and looked at her curiously.
The old lady laughed, "If she doesn't give it, there will be no place for her in this Hou Mansion, how many unjust souls have been carried out from the Hou Mansion over the years, she is good, the maid who assassinated you committed suicide by poisoning, but she turned her face and sent the maid's deed of sale to other people's parents." ”
"Jade's deed of sale, she sent it?"
Luo Qianqian always thought that it was Jade who was redeeming herself and preparing to leave, but she didn't expect Yan Ji to be so insidious and vicious.
A maid without a deed of sale and a maid who redeems a deed of sale are two completely different concepts.
If there is no deed of sale, the owner can kill at will. When Ji Ji did this, the interboundary saddled her with a life lawsuit.
"You shouldn't have let her succeed so easily in the morning, now the rumors are getting more and more fierce outside, and you haven't been out a few times, and you've become a big monster in their mouths. ”
The old lady glanced at Luo Qian with disgust, and then withdrew her gaze, "But there has been no movement on the eldest prince's side, and there has been no news from the palace." ”
"Grandmother, the eldest prince and the third prince seized power, what is your attitude towards your grandfather?"
Luo asked straight to the point.
The old lady was so frightened that she covered her mouth, "When you wake up, your courage has become bigger, don't you dare to openly talk about the government?"
Grandmother's voice was raised, and there was no anger in her eyes.
Seeing Luo smile lightly, his heart couldn't help but soften, "It's okay to say these words in front of your grandmother, but you can't be so bold when you go outside." ”
Luo Qianqian tentatively hugged his grandmother's arm, swaying back and forth according to his memory.
"Grandmother, Your Majesty asked me to marry the eldest prince, but what if the third prince becomes the crown prince, what will happen to the granddaughter?"
"Even if he becomes the crown prince, you will be a princess in the future, will he dare to do anything to you?"
really dared, after the original owner married the eldest prince in the book, he was supposed to become the crown princess, but on the night of the prince's accession to the throne, the prince personally solved it.
Now when she says this to her grandmother, she certainly doesn't believe it.
She herself is also gambling that the third prince will not be able to become the crown prince because of the loss of the help of the Chen and Luo families.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Ji sent someone to bring a part of the ledger.
In her previous life, in order to improve her survival rate, she learned a variety of skills, and even reached the level of advanced accounting, and she could see at a glance that there were loopholes in the ledger.
There are obvious loopholes in this account, but there are many problems involved in the investigation.
She continued to flip back, and most of the loopholes in the ledger were of this type.
If you really check it, it will not only consume manpower and material resources, but it is very likely that it will end up in a mess.
Luo Qianqian circled the problematic points one by one, and then put the ledger aside.
To check, but not now.
Luo Qianqian stretched out his hand to summon Cai Ling, "I'll go sleep for a while, if someone comes to ask, you will say that I am resting, and I will talk about something at night." ”
Cai Ling respectfully agreed, waited for Luo Qianqian to lie down, and then exited the side hall and closed the door.
After the door closed, Luo Qianqian sat up, his face was completely tired, changed into a set of clothes he was carrying, and slipped out of the side door.
She came all the way to a secluded courtyard, where almost no one passed by, but the yard was exceptionally clean.
There was not a single weed on the wall, and the door was clean and dust-free.
Pushing open the door and entering, a fresh fragrance of flowers came to the face, and the jasmine in the yard bloomed delicately and elegantly.
Behind the courtyard is an artificial lake, and the breeze carries water vapor and hits Luo Qianqian's face.
The layout of the house is elegant and neat, and there is no plaque on the yard, but the layout in the courtyard does not look like a concubine can live.
Luo Qianqian walked to the door, yesterday she walked around the Hou Mansion, saw the other two concubines in addition to Yan Ji, and saw this secluded but unusual courtyard.
Most of the styles of the courtyards where the concubines live are similar to Ling Jiaofang, I think Luo Zhenping is good, but this courtyard is different.
She took a deep breath and pushed her fingers lightly against the door.
It was opened without hindrance, and the room was just as clean and transparent, with a curtain of light yarn dividing the house in half.
There was no soft couch for the reception of guests in the side hall, only a simple table, standing in the empty room in the desert, with a book on the table.
Luo Qianqian continued to walk inside, and there was a bookshelf in the inner bedroom, which was full of books and some small objects.
She picked up a pendant casually, and a piece of jade fell from the bottom, and when she looked closely, it was very similar to the half she found in her clothes.
She took out the broken jade and put the two pieces of jade together.
The notch fits perfectly.
Luo's shallow hands began to tremble, trembling uncontrollably.
This is the room of her mother, who has lost most of her memory.
The pendant was placed on the bookshelf, and the rope was worn out, but not a little dusty.
I think it must be the result of someone often touching and maintaining it.
