Gu Tianlan is a taboo, and the dark line she left behind is even more secret. Gu Shuiyue used this power, so she had to be careful every step of the way. In order not to find out about the unusual relationship between her and An Xian, they have been acting.

Why did Shui Yuexuan's old shopkeeper help her do things? They didn't know each other, they had an eccentric temperament, they were bitter, they could be described as out-and-out profiteers, and naturally they would not do such a thing as helping others. Gu Shuiyue chose coercion, she put the knife on the neck of the shopkeeper An and coerced him to do things for herself, anyway, her reputation as a fierce woman had already spread throughout the palace.

It all looks flawless.

At night, Gu Shuiyue lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

She had been thinking about Long Yinzhu.

During the day, An Xian slammed the dragon yin bead to the ground, and among the jade fragments, white fluorescent light flashed. What is fluorescence? Gu Shuiyue has seen a lot of things, and it is difficult to distinguish the mystery.

The so-called secret treasure may be so unfathomable.

February 15.

This day is the day to distribute monthly money to the masters of the entire palace.

Compared to other mansions, the Yunwang Mansion is not big, but it is definitely not small. From the old princess to the backyard of King Yun, plus the old ladies of each room, the monthly money of these people forms a huge account book.

Shuiyuexuan's shopkeeper An is indeed not a vegetarian, and in just a few days, he sorted out all of this, made a detailed account book, and handed it over to Gu Shuiyue. Gu Shuiyue withdrew the silver money from the treasury and instructed a few subordinates to divide it according to the records in the account book, and then hand it over to the masters.

"Niangniang, Concubine Meng is afraid that you don't have enough manpower here, so she asked the slave maid to assist you in distributing the monthly money. "Early in the morning, Ru Xiu came here to report.

Gu Shuiyue was also very busy, and was very pleased with Ru Xiu's arrival: "You came just in time, you have a heart." “

Ru Xiu had prepared a lot of words to deal with Gu Shuiyue, but she didn't expect her to be so simple as she promised. Sure enough, she was so busy that she couldn't even be wary? She was overjoyed, and hurriedly joined the team that was distributing the silver.

"This is for the old lady, this is for the second master. “

When Ru Xiu heard the word 'second master', she hurriedly leaned over: "This bag of silver is for the second master? I am in charge of the courtyard in the west, and the second master will hand it over to me." “

The maid didn't suspect it, so she gave it to Ru Xiu. It was silver wrapped in a red cloth bag, and the words 'Second Master' were written on the outside.

Ru Xiu took the silver bag and went out. After turning a few corners and reaching a secluded and uninhabited place, Ru Xiubian quietly opened the cloth bag and looked at it.

Two taels of silver!

Ru Xiu was suddenly overjoyed. The second master is the younger brother of the prince, the treasure on the tip of the old lady's heart, plus the poor health, the old lady loves him very much, so his monthly money is extraordinarily rich, originally twenty taels.

The share of these two taels of silver is what the lowest-ranking concubine of the Yunwang Mansion should take.

If the second master sees that his monthly money is the same as that of his concubine...... Ru Xiu could almost imagine the second master's anger. If you anger the old lady, even if the prince protects Gu Shuiyue, it will be useless!

Shuiyue Xuan's shopkeeper An really knows how to do things!

Ru Xiu walked briskly towards the courtyard of the second master.

The second grandfather, Sun Lin, is fourteen years old, and he is a young man, but because of his poor health, he stays in his yard all the year round and rarely comes out.

The courtyard where Gongsun Lin lives is good, which is completely comparable to that of the prince, which shows that the status of the second master is outstanding.

Ru Xiu knocked on the door of the second master, and soon, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran over and opened the door.

"Brother Xiu, this is the monthly money for the second master. Ru Xiu handed over the silver in her hand.

The servant took the money and thanked him. Ru Xiu's eyes rolled, and she said, "Brother Xiu, there is something that I have to tell you." “

"Sister, please speak. “

"Now this palace is headed by the princess. Niangniang read the accounts and advocated open source and reduced expenditure, so she lowered the monthly money, and troubled Brother Xiu to talk to the second master. The princess is also thinking about the future of the palace, and please don't be surprised. “

Hearing this, the little girl's face was a little unsightly.

What is the identity of their second master? No matter how open the source of the palace is, it should not lose the second master's monthly money. It seems that this new princess is not a person who can do things.

The little guy muttered in his heart, and asked again, "What about the other yards?"

"I don't know much about the others, but the one who was rewarded by the old lady as a concubine for the prince last month has also dropped from three taels to two taels per month. “

After Ru Xiu finished speaking, he left.

The little servant took the silver into the courtyard and opened the door, Gongsun Lin was lying on the bed, his black hair was like ink, and his face was very pale when he should have been handsome. It was a face that was six points similar to that of Yunwang Gongsun Yi, but the edges and corners were gentler, and the black eyes were a little cold, but there was no killing and anger. Compared with Gongsun Yi, the second grandfather Gongsun Lin can be called gentle as jade.

"Master, the house has issued monthly money. The little guy respectfully handed the bag up.

Gongsun Lin didn't answer, and said in a low voice: "You can open it and reward some of it." “

The little guy opened the silver coin bag, and when he saw the amount of silver in it, he was dumbfounded. The silver bag was full of broken silver, and the little guy counted it back and forth several times to determine that the bag was indeed filled with two taels of silver!

Xiaowu's face suddenly turned red: "Master, the new princess is too much, and she actually reduced your monthly money to two taels." The concubines of the palace also took two taels of silver!"

The little guy suddenly felt very aggrieved when he spoke.

Their second master is like a pearl in the palace, and the old lady can't wait to move the best things to the second master's yard, how can the second master suffer these grievances!

Gongsun Lin's warm eyes stared at the two taels of broken silver, and his face was a little unsightly.

He is not in good health, he stays in the yard all the year round, and his mind is already a little sensitive. As soon as the new princess took charge of the house, she lowered his monthly money tenfold to the same level as the concubines, did she think that he was no different from the concubines of the palace? As far as Gongsun Lin was concerned, those two taels of silver were contempt and insult.

Gongsun Lin stared at the two taels of silver with a gloomy face, and many speculations flashed in his heart, could it be that his brother also felt that he was a wasted person, useless in the palace, and would only drag down the palace?

The little guy was already so angry that he was about to explode: "Master, the slave will go to the old lady and let the old lady be the master of the matter!"

This little guy was carefully selected by the old princess to serve by the second master's side, and every few days, the old princess would always summon him to ask him about Gongsun Lin's current situation. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to meet the old lady, as long as he talks about things related to the second master, the old princess will immediately meet him whether he is eating or sleeping.

The little girl swept into the old lady's yard like a gust of wind, and told her master that she had been wronged.

The old princess listened quietly, and sat there, without smashing the cup or scolding angrily, but her face was already blue and extremely ugly.

"Mother, this level has finally passed. Drinking beads said with a sigh of relief. Soon, her heart rose again, "Shopkeeper Ann left in a huff, saying that you should stop bothering him." But there are so many accounts in the palace, I'm afraid you can't handle it. “

"It's not 'I'm afraid', it's 'yes'. Gu Shuiyue said slowly.

She was originally born as a military general, and she still retains many military habits, such as dizziness when she sees a book.

"It seems that we have to find a way to keep Shopkeeper An in the palace. Gu Shuiyue said.

Yinzhu's eyes also lit up: "If there is such a helper, Niangniang, you are definitely better at managing the palace than Meng Xiyu!

Yes, what excuse should I find to make it logical for An Xian to stay in the palace?

"Mother, the old lady wants to see you. The maid hurriedly walked in and reported.

This is not the time to say hello in the morning, nor is it the time to eat, why does the old lady want to see her mother?

". Drinking beads said a little uneasily, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the monthly money?"

Gu Shuiyue's face didn't show any panic, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

When Gu Shuiyue arrived at the old lady's courtyard, there were already a lot of people waiting.

The side concubine Ashina Yan, the side concubine Meng Xiyu, and several concubines. The old lady sat in the middle, her eyes were cloudy, and her face was not good-looking.

At the door, a little guy was glaring at her angrily, as if he wanted to come up and beat her, and in the door, Ashina Yan was glaring at him with a worried face.

None of this bodes well.

Gu Shuiyue walked in with an unchanged face, and saluted the old lady: "Concubine body, please concubine." “

The old princess was drinking tea, as if she hadn't noticed Gu Shuiyue at all, and there was a trace of nervousness in the air.

Time passed minute by minute, the old princess did not speak, and Gu Shuiyue kept maintaining the same posture. The old princess was obviously in a bad mood and wanted to teach Gu Shuiyue a lesson.

Gu Shuiyue can tie the horse step for a day, and it is not a problem to maintain such a posture for a day. Ash Nayan couldn't stand it anymore, walked down from her position, walked to Gu Shuiyue's side, and bowed to the old princess Yingying: "Mother, my sister was seriously injured last time, but the prince invited the best doctor in the capital to come, if my sister is injured again, the prince should be distressed." “

Only then did the old princess speak: "Sit down." “

Barbarians are barbarians, do you think this is helping Gu Shuiyue? Using the prince to threaten the old princess, the old princess was even more annoyed. Looking at the old princess's darkened face, Meng Xiyu felt a little contemptuous in her heart.

"Shui Yue, is the palace so poor? The prince's fiefdom is vast, and there are people paying tribute every year, but the old man doesn't know that the palace is so poor!" The old lady's teacup slammed on the table, and her sharp eyes stared at her.

The old lady seldom gets angry, and when she does, it's terrible.

"The concubine doesn't know what the mother means. Gu Shuiyue said, as if she didn't know anything.

"Are you responsible for distributing the monthly money this month?"

"Yes, Princess. “

"Can you lower the monthly money of the various courtyards?" the old lady continued to ask.

Gu Shuiyue's face showed a stunned expression.

Meng Xiyu was very satisfied with her expression.

"Mother, I think you blame my sister for being wrong. My sister was born in a scholarly family, and I am afraid that she has never learned to settle accounts. My sister may not want to reduce everyone's monthly money, but she can't figure it out. Meng Xiyu said.

Meng Xiyu's words, on the surface, were speaking for Gu Shuiyue, but in fact they dug a pit for her.

The answer is, since she doesn't know how to settle accounts, why did she take over this stall, isn't this nonsense?

The answer is no, that is, it is clear that she advocated deducting the monthly money of each courtyard, and it will be the entire Yunwang Mansion that will be offended!

Meng Xiyu waited for Gu Shuiyue's answer with a sincere face.

Gu Shuiyue, I want to see if you can still hold the power of the head of the palace!
