Chapter 127: Zeng Yun's Ambition
When Xinglan arrived in Nanyuan, she didn't see Zeng Yun, it was her personal mother Mama Fang who took her in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Mama Fang took Xinglan and a few people to a courtyard, the trees around were withered, and there was a stone table in the courtyard, and the stone table was piled up with ledgers like hills.
"Miss, Mrs. said, these are the accounts of last year's house, let the eldest lady familiarize herself with it first, and then there will be this year's after reading it. Mama Fang crossed her hands and said respectfully but not humbly or arrogantly.
"What about the second aunt?" Xinglan asked, Zeng Yun deliberately made himself ugly, so many account books, not to mention today, even half a month can not be finished.
"Madame has something to go out today, let Miss watch it herself, if there is anything you don't understand, when Madame comes back, Madame can ask Madame in person. If there is nothing to do, the slave will go down first, and if the young lady has any orders, just say hello. After Mama Fang finished speaking, she bowed to Xinglan and walked out.
Millennial has always been straightforward, as soon as Mama Fang left, she began to complain, "This second lady is clearly embarrassed Miss, when will so many ledgers be seen, when will the sun come out, there is not even a place to shade, although it is not as sunny as summer, but if you want to watch it here for a day, how can you stand it, Miss, let's go back." She said a lot, Xinglan smiled and didn't speak.
Ah Song blamed on the side, "Miss didn't say anything, this is not the West Building, take care of your mouth." β
When Ah Song was in the West Building, she often said Millennium, she was lively and frivolous, and she couldn't control her mouth, she walked to the teapot on the side with a pout, opened it, and found that it was cold water, "It's really annoying." β
"Miss, the slave is going to get you some hot tea. Millennial took the teapot and said to Xinglan, who was sitting at the table, about to pick up the ledger.
Xinglan nodded and chose a random account book, maybe it was left for a long time, the account book already had a musty smell, Xinglan patted off the ash on it with his hand, opened it and put it on the stone table.
Ah Song stepped aside and picked up the ledger on the table, patted off the ashes on it one by one, and arranged them in order each month.
At this moment, Xinglan began to thank Dong Linghan, if it weren't for Tian Xianglou, she couldn't learn so many things, it was really as Zeng Yun and the others hoped, a wild girl in the countryside who couldn't do anything.
Xinglan looked at the ledger in his hand carefully, page by page. This sat all morning, and it wasn't until Ah Song came to call Xinglan for lunch that she put down the account book in her hand.
Xinglan didn't leave immediately, but picked up a ledger again, opened it and looked at it twice, then put it down and picked it up again, flipped through two pages and threw it aside.
"Let's go! Let's go back. Xinglan said to the two.
Ah Song pointed to the ledger on the table and asked, "Do you want to move these things back?" β
"No, put it here, these ledgers are all fake. Xinglan walked outside, Ah Song didn't say that she didn't feel it, but now she suddenly felt so hungry.
Xinglan's bland words stirred up a thousand waves in Ah Song's heart, how could Miss dare to be so sure that these account books were fake?
Xinglan was about to rest after eating, Zeng Yun's people came again and asked Xinglan to continue to read the ledger.
Xinglan lay lazily on the chaise longue, looked at the maid standing below and asked, "Is the second aunt back?"
"Back to the eldest lady, the second lady hasn't come back yet. The maid said respectfully.
"In that case, when the second aunt comes back, send someone to inform me. Xinglan sent people away directly, she was not so easy to bully, and she wanted to make herself feel bad before she even met, it was too easy.
The maid was a little embarrassed, and when she came, Mama Fang repeatedly instructed that Xinglan must go to Nanyuan to read the account book.
She slurred, "Great. . . Eldest Miss, the second lady said that she would read all the account books todayγγγγγ The maid thought about it for a long time, so she had to move out the second lady to suppress Xinglan, but she didn't think about the possibility of her lying at all, how could anyone be able to read a year's account books in one day.
Xinglan thought that she had misheard, Zeng Yun would not be so stupid and ask herself to read these account books within a day, otherwise how could she have the opportunity to torture herself.
"What did you say?" Xinglan asked again.
The second lady saidγγγγγ β
"Did the second lady say it, or did you say it yourself?" Xinglan asked in a cold tone, did she really look so easy to bully, even a maid dared to do this.
That maid was not Zeng Yun's henchman, but she was just cannon fodder sent by Mama Fang, seeing Xinglan's face change, she knelt on the ground in fright and quickly begged for mercy, "Miss, spare your life, the slave is wrong, it's Mama Fang, it's Mama Fang who told the slave to say this." β
"You go back and tell Mama Fang, saying, since the old lady asked me to learn things from the second aunt, naturally I won't go over until the second aunt comes back. Xinglan said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and she didn't want to embarrass the maid.
The maid nodded, bowed down and retreated, only to feel cold sweat when she went out, it was already the winter solstice, and the clothes inside had been soaked. But when I thought that I would have to face Mama Fang later, my heart began to feel worried again.
The maid trembled and found Mama Fang, told her Xinglan's words as they were, and then shrunk and stood aside and didn't dare to speak again.
"Is that really what the eldest lady said?, nothing else?" asked Mama Fang, and the maid shook her head, she was sure that she had not forgotten.
"From tomorrow onwards, let's go to the backyard. "Since it's useless, there's no need to keep it, so as not to let Xinglan hold on to the handle.
Hearing Mama Fang say this, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, Miss Lu was notoriously arrogant in Gongsun Mansion, even a maid who cleaned in the yard was not spared from being beaten and scolded by her, and now that she can stay away from here, she is still happy.
When the maid left, Mama Fang turned around and entered Zeng Yun's room, in the room, Zeng Yun was asking the maid to pick out some jewelry, looking left and right, when Mama Fang came in, she was holding a royal blue hairpin in her hand, "How about looking at this hairpin?"
Mama Fang took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and then said, "The feathers of the kingfisher are rare, and there is no trace of impurities in the selection, and it takes several months for skilled craftsmen to get such a good hairpin, which is very valuable." I wonder who Madame is going to give it to?"
"You say, how about giving it to the queen!" Zeng Yun said as he carefully put away the hairpin.
"Madame is thinking ... "I want to send the young lady to King Yan's side! But how could the queen mother let a woman with no background sit on the seat of Princess Yan.
