51. Repayment of the loan
I understand!
Lao Kang's abacus is very fine, and he can count it in one fell swoop!
The vacancy of the housekeeper of the Fourth Master's Mansion was filled, although the fourth son of the emperor was far away from the palace, but as long as Lao Kang wanted to know something, someone would report it at any time, it was estimated that it was more detailed than the fourth master himself knew, and the most important thing was that Lan Si was pregnant.
I don't know if Lao Kang wants to hold his grandson again, or Yinzhen understands the intention of his father and leading boss with his heart, in short, the good news spread.
In fact, I really can't see how close Lan Si and Li Fu are, on weekdays, Li Fu Ansheng is his big butler, and Lan Si stays in his own room or coaxes Shushen to sit quietly in the small courtyard, and I don't feel any brother and sister friendship that I am familiar with flowing between the two.
Unfortunately...... What I couldn't ask for, let her take the lead.
I sat on the chair in the main hall angrily, looking at Yinxiang who was leisurely drinking tea with resentment, both brothers and sisters went into battle, why was he so ineffective!
"Fourth brother, am I bothering you?" Yinxiang ignored me, just stood up with a smile and said to his fourth brother: "Or I'll go back first." ”
"Why, you brother sit, I still have something. I got up from my chair with a hypocritical smile and walked back to my small courtyard after saying goodbye to Yinxiang.
"E-niang, look. ”
"Oh my God, Honghui...... You're going crazy!" I ran forward in a few steps to free the poor poodle from Honghui's hands, and in a few clicks ripped off the small piece of tiger skin that was tightly wrapped around its head and almost exploded. When I put it back on the ground, I saw it gasp weakly for a while, and then it became lively again.
"Eniang......" Honghui looked at me pitifully with his little hands gently tugging at the hem of my skirt.
"This is the clothes that Eniang made for Wumi, can't you see the size? With such a small set, you want to suffocate Simao! You're smart, you're so stupid!" I shook the tiger skin in my hand and picked up the pure white kitten that was lazily asleep on the chaise longue, oh, it felt so good...... Yinyu's return gift is really good!
A poodle and a long-haired Linqing cat, the breed is pure, not to mention, even the color is my love, a water is pure white, and the cat's eyes are still left blue and right green, super loving......! It would be nice if the dog could be replaced with a large Samoyed, I don't know if there is one in this era, a little regretful.
I sat on the recliner, deliberately ignoring the little person standing next to me, and slowly put the freshly made pet suit on the kitten's body, just the right size. It's just that...... Anyway, the cats really don't like this kind of restraint, and the little thing that was originally sleepy and messy immediately became more energetic, tore and bit a few bites of the tiger skin on their bodies, and then honestly stopped moving.
I sniffed it closely, did it smell like a tiger? I couldn't smell it, cats and dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell, but a tiger that had long since died had a smell on its skin? Isn't it the smell of Lans, it scared my kitten, bad guy.
I stroked the kitten's head and whispered softly, "Wumi, you are good, make do with it, I wanted to tear off this broken tiger skin for a long time, and now it is considered a waste use, so you have to help me." Look, how powerful it is to wear on you, it all depends on it for a weak cat to become a tiger, what a handsome word!"
"E-niang, tiger. Honghui grabbed the hem of my skirt and tried to climb up, his little hands pretending to stroke the cat's hair, but they were gently pushing my legs down.
Seeing him hide his careful expression, I laughed so much that I put the cat on the ground, picked him up and held him on my lap, and gently hugged him and coaxed: "Don't you like tigers? ”
"If you like it, why do you ruin it?"
I watched Yinzhen come over, his tone was very strict, but his eyes were clear.
I lowered my head and touched Honghui's head, and whispered, "I just like it, that's why I have to pull it up, and I can see it every day...... How nice. ”
Yinzhen stood on the edge of the recliner and touched Honghui's light head door with my hand, and laughed, "You look like this, it's very similar to when Honghui pushed the cat just now." ”
I wanted to knock the smile off his face, knowing why I did this, he was actually embarrassed to laugh at me, and people who are usually almost reluctant to laugh still have a smile at this time!
But...... Let's turn this article over, it can't be changed, I just want to play a little sex, what about the emperor's reward, now this is the Four Baylor Mansion, I have the final say! I cut it, who dares to entangle me with this matter, I really want to show it to whom. It's just that since then, I really don't want to talk about it again.
I buried my head in Honghui and muttered in a voice that Yinzhen couldn't hear: "Give birth to your baby." ”
Honghui excitedly shouted at me, "Okay! ”
Raised his head in surprise and looked at Honghui, turned to Yinzhen and asked, "What brother, where did you come from?"
"Brother Honghui. Honghui was still excitedly pulling at my clothes and screaming.
Yin Zhen squatted in front of us and looked at Honghui for a while before he explained to me: "I guess I saw it in Huang Amarna." ”
"Oh, good memory. I patted Honghui's head rewardingly and asked softly, "How is my brother?"
"Okay, Honghui wants his brother. ”
A big brother in the Four Baylor Mansion wants his brother, unless he goes back in time.
I gently pinched Honghui's face and explained to him: "Honghui, brother, you are not going to do it, but there is hope for my brother, and it will be there in a few days, you wait to be your brother." As soon as he finished speaking, his heart was sour, he glanced at Yinzhen, closed his eyes and hugged Honghui to lie on the back of the chair.
"Meiyu, take the eldest brother to the nurse to rest. ”
I glared at someone who had just spoken, but the little person in my arms was still ruthlessly taken away.
"Do you want to give Honghui a younger brother?" Yin Zhen looked at me with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"It turns out that the fourth master will still pretend to be stupid, how can it be me?"
The smile in Yinzhen's eyes quickly disappeared, helped me up from the back of the chair, looked at me and said seriously: "I know you want to, but we have Honghui, enough is enough." ”
What kind of theory is this? These princes and their mothers, and even Lao Kang don't all think that having more children is more blessed, how can it be enough to come to me, why should they deprive me of the right to have children, and let me watch his little wives give birth one after another in the future, for Mao!
I stared into his eyes and tried to discern what he just said, and said tentatively, "E-Niang said...... There are too few of your offspring. ”
"Isn't there Honghui? "Yinzhen looks confident and determined.
He...... This sentence will make me misunderstood, does he think that with this eldest son, everything is enough, and all hope is pinned on Honghui? If this is the case, I must admit that I am very moved, for his recognition of the son I born, for my recognition. I'm even a little able to tolerate his little wives, just give birth if you love it, my aunt and grandmother are worth it.
But shouldn't he think that with this eldest son, I will complete the task, isn't he afraid of Honghui's accident? I know history, but is he really not worried at all? Wouldn't it be because of this reason that poor me only has Honghui as a child.
It's just that Honghui is recorded in history...... When there really is a day, will he, who is Amma, regret this kind of identification now?
I got up from the chair and pulled Yinzhen to sit down, only to squat in front of him and said a little awkwardly: "Yinzhen, in fact, I don't like to have a son very much, if that's the case, we want a daughter, okay? Very well-behaved and lovely daughter, I promise to teach her well." ”
Yin Zhen picked the corners of his mouth and laughed, stretched out his big hand on the back of my neck and pulled it in front of him, his mouth was close to my ear, and he asked in a very soft voice: "If you are still like you, how can you behave?"
His breath kept spraying on my ears, and I endured the itching sensation and muttered embarrassedly, "Don't they all say that sons are like mothers, and daughters are like fathers?" and...... I'm pretty ...... Good. ”
With Yinzhen's laughter, I heard a soft sigh, and before I could come back to my senses, he had bitten lightly on my earlobe, "Let's talk about it." Before the words fell, he dragged me to my feet, "Go change your clothes and take you out of the house." ”
~~~
"Why are you here? If you want to eat, you can go to Lao Jiu's. "I sat in the private room of Wanxiang Building, a little unsettled.
"Don't you like the food here? ”
"Oh...... After so many years, it is estimated that it has changed a long time ago, didn't Yinzhen still say that the master changed that day?" I asked Yinzhen tentatively.
"Just try it, cousin, come in and order. ”
"Here we go...... The small one asks for peace to the fourth master and Fujin, the fourth master is auspicious, and the Fujin is auspicious. "The head of the hall is still the same one, but as time goes on, he has become more mature and has a sweeter mouth, and he already knows who we are. That's how the prince came out of the palace to live, the people of the capital can know about you, and everyone is watching you.
Yin Zhen nodded, very princely, leaned on the back of the chair and propped one hand on the edge of the table and asked the head of the hall, "Hall leader, do you remember the master?"
The head of the hall immediately bowed down, and replied clearly: "Back to the fourth master's words, I don't dare to say it if I have a good memory, but on the day Junyue Xuan opened, the little ones went to see the excitement, and the demeanor of a few masters was fortunate to see it, and I only felt quite kind at the time, and then I remembered that a few masters had visited the small shop back then, and I dared to call it today. ”
"It's really a good memory, no wonder the master's fortune praised you that day. You can arrange some dishes, just be more delicate, and then serve a pot of good wine. ”
"Well, the fourth master and Fu Jin sit down for a while, and the small one will be arranged immediately. The head of the hall bowed and bowed, and then flashed out the door.
Yinzhen ignored me, only pushed the window and quietly looked at the street below. I peeked at him and felt a chill on his back, what is this going to do? Forget about eating, there are only two people who still want to drink, so why don't you drink in the house and be more happy, I want to come here.
After a while, a few small dishes were already on the table, and the head of the hall personally put a delicately made Eight Immortals wine pot on the table, bowed his head to Yinzhen and said: "Fourth master, serve a few small dishes first, and the hot dishes will arrive later, but this wine ...... The fourth master, you are well-informed, and the little one does not dare to brag in front of the master, this is the Huisha Moutai produced by Renhuai, as for the good or bad, you will know it as soon as you try it. ”
"Okay, you go down first. After Yinzhen finished speaking, he reached out and filled the wine jug in front of me, poured himself another glass, and saw the head of the hall withdraw and close the door, so he raised his glass and said to me: "Try it." ”
I had to take a glass and put it to my mouth and take a sip, Yinzhen drank the wine in the cup and still held the glass to me and said: "The wine is elegant and delicate, mellow and sweet when drinking, but it is good." You don't like it?"
"No, it's delicious. I replied lightly, and saw that he was still looking at the glass in my hand, and hurriedly put it to his lips and took a sip.
"Well, you have good wine in your shop. After Yinzhen finished speaking softly, he lifted the wine jug and poured it into his cup.
"Ahem......"
I couldn't cough out the wine stuck in my throat, I couldn't swallow it anymore, so I raised my hand to my throat and stared at the man sitting across from me.
How did he know about this? Yan Yu, Ruyi, I have never even brought an explanation, and I have never mentioned this matter in front of anyone, how can this guy know! I thought that my secrecy work was very good, and even Yinyu, the person who inquired about the news everywhere for the opening of the store, only knew that this Wanxianglou had changed owners, but I didn't know who did it.
I have done a good job of fake accounts, and they have been smoothed out so much that even Li Fu can't see it, and ...... He never asked about these things.
Yin Zhen stood up and walked to my side, gently stroked my back a few times, and then lowered his head to look at me and asked, "Is this to earn me money?"
I subconsciously shook my head, saw him squint and nodded hurriedly, pushed him and said, "You sit back, I'll tell you." ”
Yin Zhen stared at me with his hands behind his back and said, "It's okay, you say, I can stand." ”
Seeing him like this, I hurriedly stood up, but found myself stuck in the middle of the table and chairs, with an urgent stare on one side of the window and the other side, and helplessly pulled his sleeve and whispered: "You sit down, let's talk slowly, will it be? If you are like this, I can only jump out of the window." ”
Yin Zhen pinched my chin, the distance was very close, but I felt that his deep voice circled around the room before reaching my ears, "Your shop, what are you afraid of......?" You don't believe me. ”
I was struggling with the meaning of his words, when the voice of the hall leader shouted outside the door, "Fourth master, the hot dish is ......."
The door was pushed open, Yinzhen had already turned his hand and pressed on my shoulder to let me sit back in the chair, turned around and stood at the door, watching the guy put the hot dishes on the table, and before the head of the hall could speak, he said, "Go down, don't wait." ”
The head of the hall hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, then withdrew with his men and gently closed the door.
I looked at Yinzhen, who was sitting back in the chair and no longer spoke, and reluctantly said, "Angry, I don't want to hide it from you, nor do I ...... I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is more troublesome, and I have to think about it before I can tell you. ”
"Got it figured?"
"I haven't thought it all about it yet, but I'll talk to you first. ”
Yinzhen nodded at me, and looked at me with a look of listening carefully.
I'm tempted to point out the window and say, "Look,." But seeing his stern face, he had to lower his head and try to calm himself, and after a while, he looked at him again and said: "First, the money to buy the store is from the reward given to you by Huang Ama, so if you want to say who this store is, I can sue you, it is yours, I don't know if your name can be written on the deed paper, but I don't dare to write the prince's name scribble, so I signed the fourth master, and no one dares to rob you with the prince, so I wrote it." ”
Yin Zhen was a little stunned when he heard this, but there was some warmth in his eyes, and I continued: "Second, I made a fake ...... in the account of the house."
"You're going to make fake accounts!"
"No......" Seeing that he was so shocked that he couldn't sit still, I hurriedly waved my hand and opened my mouth to deny it, thinking about it and feeling inappropriate, I had to hang my hands and explain weakly: "Yes...... It's just that there is a reason for this, there is a housekeeper Li in the house, I have to interfere, the fake accounts are made for him to see, not to hide from you. ”
Yin Zhen nodded slightly, leaned back in the chair noncommittally, and folded his arms in front of his chest, "Third?"
"The third is that I won't harm the lack of silver in the house, I will make up for it, and strive to make up for more. Time, tentatively one year, I have calculated, and now the money in the house is enough to do this. If you feel that the time is too long, I can repay it every six months or in monthly installments, a fixed amount or a little accumulation. ”
Yin Zhen looked at me for a while before asking me, "Are you doing business with me?" ”
"No, it's better to be clear about money, people say that it makes sense for brothers to settle accounts, so it doesn't hurt feelings. After all, there are still Lansi and them in the house, and I can't take your money and spend it indiscriminately, it's unfair to them. And this store can make money, it's not that it can't be repaid, but even if it has to be repaid, I will hand it over to you, and the account can't be filled, you can understand. ”
Yin Zhen snorted in his nose, looked out the window and said to himself a little mockingly: "It's really a clear account, everyone has calculated it." ”
I poured a glass of wine noncommittally, drank it myself, and then asked him in confusion, "Why don't you ask me where I put my profits?"
Yin Zhen glanced at me, turned his gaze to the window and stared somewhere, and whispered, "What about your fourth?"
He's too calm! Can he bear to listen to me so much, and not be in a hurry at all? It's just that this fourth is what makes me the most embarrassed, and the reason why I asked him to chase me and ask me today is because of this.
I stared at his side face for a long time, then sighed and walked to him and gently pulled his sleeve, until he turned back to look at me, and then forced himself to speak: "This shop can indeed make money, but I buy it to be useful, as for what is the use, I will tell you then, in short, I will not harm you, you believe me." Moreover, because I don't want to take care of it myself, I've already figured out how to deal with it, so I didn't count the profits, and of course I won't take it myself. If you have time in the past two days, tell me, I will arrange it, and I will not hide it from you anymore. ”
"Now that you have time, you can arrange it. "Yin Zhen looked at me very seriously, with some power to oppress me.
It turns out that he is not in a hurry, he is just waiting for me to finish, and then he starts to become in control?
I looked at the familiar man in front of me in a daze, and suddenly felt a little strange, this face was something I had never seen before, whether it was annoying him or what, he had never looked at me like this, was it because I had also shown him another side of me?
