Qinghe had a stomach upset a few days ago, and Lan Xin ordered her to stay in the house and not go out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info but it suffocated her, and she felt like she was going to get moldy. Today, Lan Xin saw that her complexion had recovered, so she ordered her to go out on errands. This can make her beautiful and disappear as soon as she slips away.

When he returned, he opened the curtain and hid himself behind the curtain, revealing only his head, and shouted in a sly voice, "Hey, girl, the slave is back." ”

Ziyi pursed his lips, held back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued the work on his hands, without even a glance. Lan Xin's posture of holding the book remained unchanged, and he flipped through it carefully, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Qinghe was not annoyed, walked in from outside with a smile, and saluted Lan Xin: "Girl, purple clothes." ”

Lan Xin glanced at her: Look at your unproductive appearance! Just go out for a trip?

Qinghe scratched his head and giggled.

Lan Xin's hair was already half dry, and he raised his hand to signal Ziyi to go down and rest, and nodded the brocade not far away with his chin. Qinghe carried the pestle to the brazier and handed over the account book in his arms.

While roasting his hands, he talked to Lan Xin with great interest about what he encountered outside today: "Girl, Mother Yang's tent has been closed. The girl's dividend this year was 663,2400 yuan, and according to the girl's instructions, she took out ten taels of silver to give to the people in the 'Splendid Workshop' to eat and drink. gave Yang's mother a red envelope of two taels. Originally, I took out twenty taels and asked Yang's mother to help me go to the temple to make sesame oil money for my aunt, but my mother said that we had just spent one hundred taels of silver to light the everlasting lamp, and now we went to add sesame oil money, which was too eye-catching, so let the slave come back and discuss it with the girl. ”

"Well, I didn't think about it well. My mother reminded us that every time we go to the temple, we are generous, which will cause covetousness and cause a lot of trouble. Lan Xin looked through the ledger and nodded in agreement.

"According to the previous practice, the slave maid took fifty-one taels back, and the rest were deposited with Mother Yang first. Adding up the bits and pieces of our past few years, we have saved nine hundred and seventy taels now. Girl, it's almost a thousand taels!" Qinghe shouted excitedly.

Lan Xin put the account book on the table next to him, reached out and poured two cups of tea, handed one to Qinghe, took a cup and took a few sips, and said, "Yes, it's enough for half a year's expenses in the house." ”

Qinghe was startled, the tea in his hand almost spilled, and he frowned and exclaimed: "Girl, this is what you have worked so hard to earn, don't you just hand it over." ”

Lan Xin looked at Qinghe, who was so anxious that his eyes were round, and shook his head amusedly.

"Girl, don't laugh, what the slave said is true!" Qinghe was really anxious, put down the teacup, straightened his back, and analyzed seriously: "Girl, you think, your monthly money is only ten taels per month." In addition to the usual expenses, except for the three girls who sometimes come to you to rub one or two taels, you will have five taels of silver left every month. If nothing happens, it's okay. If you're going out for a party, you're going to be stretched thin. Just for the rewards that go out, there are all kinds of more than one or two. Add in the miscellaneous, and your ten taels of silver will bottom out. Madame hasn't given you any subsidies either, so what if you don't have any money?!"

"Hehe!" Lan Xin was amused by her serious appearance, and seeing that she was going to continue, Lan Xin shook her head with a smile and said, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to talk at length." You don't want to think about how I can explain to others when I suddenly take out such a sum of money?"

Qinghe let out a long sigh, patted his chest exaggeratedly, and muttered in shock: "Girl, you are really, scared the slave to death, and you don't make it clear." Pick up the teacup on the table and drink it down.

Lan Xin glanced at her, pouted, and said, "I want to make it clear, you give me a chance! I really didn't expect that you are now articulate and analyze things one by one." ”

"Slaves and maids are also just facts. Qinghe said, "Before Aunt Yuzhi died, she told the slave and maid thousands of times, and she must persuade the girl not to tell the matter of the 'Splendid Fang', let alone give the money to others." Even if it is after getting married, it is not okay to hand it over to the uncle, this is the girl's private money, which is left for the girl. ”

"I see. Even you can see these things clearly, how can I not understand them?" Lan Xin leaned back, put one hand on his cheek, and said neatly.

"Girl, just laugh at the slave. Qinghe pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Girl, the slave maid went out today and heard that the cousin of the Rong family is the young master Lu who has returned to the capital. ”

As soon as Lan Xin heard the words "Young Master Lu", his heart jumped, and he couldn't help but think of the purse in his hand, and subconsciously glanced at the cage in the corner. If Qinghe hadn't mentioned it today, she would have forgotten about that ruby.

Qinghe deliberately lowered his voice and said, "It's the second day of the plum blossom banquet." That morning, when the sky was still bright, their master and servant left, and they did not alarm Mrs. Rong and Master Rong. And the eldest lady of the Rong family and the second lady of the Lu family left on the eleventh day of the lunar month, one day later than him. Also, the eldest lady of the Rong family came to withdraw from her relatives with Miss Jun, but she just turned around and exchanged Geng posts and tokens with Second Mrs. Lu. ”

Lan Xin raised her eyebrows in surprise, no wonder Miss Jun had been trying to talk about something that day, she seemed to be not very satisfied with the Lu family's second room! But what does this have to do with herself? Not to mention, she is just married to Rong Jing, even if the two of them are married, she will not be bored to interfere in other people's marriages. It's just that the Rong family retreated from Lu Zhendong's family affairs, and immediately made a marriage with the second room, as long as you think about it carefully, you will soon understand the purpose of this. It seems that it will be difficult for Young Master Lu to return to Beijing this time.

"Girl, the second lady of the Fang family said something nasty again, right?" Qinghe said with a question, but in an affirmative tone.

"Yo, it's really smart to praise you for being smart, you can even guess this. Lan Xin smiled and teased her, but the smile was not eye-catching, obviously pressing things in her heart.

"It's not all guessing, it's just that I heard some rumors about the Fang family. The second lady was not happy in her heart, so she dared to spill her anger on the girl. ”

"What kind of rumors?" Lan Xin asked with interest, "The Fang family has always been strict in governing the family, how can there be rumors?"

Qinghe leaned closer to Lan Xin's side, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Of course the Fang family won't. It's just that this rumor came from the capital. ”
