Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the remnants of flowers and leaves blew off the courtyard.

The west window was opened, and the wind with moisture blew in, and fell on the face coldly.

Liu Yunxiang leaned on the Luohan bed, looking at the peach blossom sticking in from the corner of the window in a daze.

"Madam, here comes the bookkeeper. ”

Jin Yan ran in, with a few petals on his head, and he was wet.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a young and fresh cigarette. It took a while to come back to her senses, yes, she was reborn, and she was reborn in the third year of marrying into the Hou Mansion.

"Let the bookkeeper come in. ”

The bookkeeper is a white-bearded old man, who has been in charge of accounts in the Hou Mansion for more than 30 years, very thin and shrewd. He was dressed in a teal robe and held a stack of ledgers in his hand.

"Mr. Hu, you're leaving, let's put the ledger here. Liu Yunxiang said.

"Why did the third lady suddenly check the accounts, but what happened?" asked Hu Ledger pointedly.

Checking the accounts is naturally a matter of the accounts, but no matter how clear the accounts are, there are also places of confusion, so he is afraid that the three ladies will deliberately find fault with him.

Remember https://m in a second.

Liu Yunxiang smiled faintly, "The Hou Mansion was raided two years ago, and now the few shops and fruit farms on this account are my dowry, right?"

The bookkeeper paused, "Yes." ”

"I check my own things, can I check them?"

Hu had nothing to say, and put the account book in his hand on the table,

Three years ago, the Marquis of Jing'an led an army of 100,000 to fight with Beijin at Yangui Pass.

Both sides were strong and strong, but they fought for more than a year, and finally ended in a fiasco.

In this battle, the treasury was emptied, countless casualties were inflicted, and the three cities in the northwest were ceded to Beijin, and since then they have been pressed on the head by this northern power.

After the war, the Jing'an Hou Mansion bore the brunt.

Jing'an Hou took his three sons to the battlefield together, he and his eldest son died in battle, and the third son Xie Zi'an, who was Liu Yunxiang's husband, was beheaded by the Beijin cavalry on the way to transport grain and grass, and the corpse was trampled beyond recognition.

Only the second son, Xie Zixuan, is still alive and is now locked up in prison.

Since the founding of the dynasty, the Marquis of Jing'an has been ranked among the eight major families, and the emperor did not want to involve too much, so he only copied the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, confiscated all the family wealth, and did not take back the title.

After this blow, the old lady couldn't afford to get sick, the eldest lady went back to her parents' house, the second lady went to the nunnery, and there were several children in the second room of the big house below.

Liu Yunxiang spread out several account books, including rouge fasting, silk villages, and orchards on the outskirts of the city, all of which were her dowries.

At that time, she had just married into the Hou Mansion, and the dowry had not yet been recorded, so she escaped raiding the house.

Today's Hou Mansion is all pointing to her.

She picked up the booklet of the daily expenses of the Hou Mansion and flipped through the pages one by one.

When he saw one of them, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"This one. She pointed to the bookkeeper, "What is the purpose of spending a hundred taels every month?"

Hu Shufang glanced at it and said, "This is the old lady helping distant relatives, you should know it." ”

Liu Yunxiang did know, and she also knew that the money was sent to Wangshi Village, Shiqiao Town, but she lived all her life, and when she died, she knew that this relative was actually her husband.

"Let's stop for now. ”

"This ......"

"I plan to open a rice and grain shop, and I will take all the money on the account when I turn around, what kind of poor relatives are this, and it is benevolent enough to help for so long. ”

"Where is the old lady?"

"Hu Ledger, how much is your monthly money now?" Liu Yunxiang looked up at Hu Ledger.

"Three taels of silver. ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I'll raise it to five taels for you." ”

Hu Ledger's eyes widened, and he actually rose by two taels of silver at once.

"Do you have any questions?"

"I didn't ...... It's gone, I'll go back and collect the money on the account, and it's convenient for the third lady to take it when it's time. ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

After the account room left, Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to help him get up and walk around the room.

In the past two days, her back hurt so badly that she had to get up and walk after sitting for a while.

"Madam, you haven't eaten much in the morning, and the slave has finished making noodles for you, right?" asked Jinyan a little worriedly.

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, she didn't have any appetite at all.

Hey, if God really pities her at this time, even if it's only three months early......

Liu Yunxiang unconsciously stroked her belly, should she keep this child?

"By the way, madam, you asked the slave maid to inquire about the movement of the east courtyard, the old lady went out just now. ”

Liu Yunxiang's apricot eyes rolled, "Let's go out too." ”

Wangshi Village, Shiqiao Town, is on the outskirts of Shengjing, and it can be reached in more than an hour by horse-drawn carriage.

Liu Yunxiang thought, it's not the end of the world, why haven't she met him once in her previous life. has been kept in the dark all his life, and he only knew before he died, and he died of grievance.

The carriage came out into the street and stopped not long after.

"Why don't you leave?" asked the driver outside.

The coachman replied: "There are many officers and soldiers on the periphery of Wenchangbo's Mansion, and the lively people have blocked the road. ”

Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain of the car, and through the layers of people and officers and soldiers, she saw the man standing at the door at a glance.

He was wearing a dark brocade robe, his face was like a crown of jade, his phoenix eyes were smiling, and he was playing with a peach blossom, and in front of him kneeled a woman in a crimson spring shirt, crying and kowtowing, begging the man to spare her family.

That woman is Yuan Qingyue, the eldest girl of Changbo Mansion, one of the Shengjing Shuangshu, and she is both talented and beautiful. She was often seen at banquets, and she was a proud woman.

Liu Yunxiang put down the curtain and said lightly: "Turn around and go another way." ”

Seeing Yuan Qingyue, she thought of herself. That night, she begged him the same.

"Madam......" Jinyan hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "With this Yuan girl, Lord Yan may not toss you tonight." ”
