At this time, Lin Ranran thanked the old lady for the fabric, and left Lin Ranran to have dinner with her.

In the evening, the old lady moved away from all the subordinates, leaving Lin Ran by her side and said: "I'm old, sometimes the old eyes are dizzy, it just so happened that your aunt sent the accounts of a few shops a few days ago, you can take it back and take a look!" ”

Lin Shuran suppressed the surprise in her heart, the old lady's approach was obviously a distrust of Lin Yuan, on the surface, she was silent, flattered and knelt down: "Grandmother, thank you for trusting Suran." ”

The old lady pulled her up and patted her hand gently: "You are a smart child, steady and careful, which is why I handed over the accounts to you, I hope you can manage them well." Lin suddenly took it from her hand solemnly, and nodded seriously, she understood that from this moment on, something was quietly beginning to change.

Back at Ranyuan Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran came over with the food box made by the eldest lady, saw the account in her sister's hand, and asked curiously: "Sister, this... This is? ”

"The old lady gave it to me, but I don't know anything about numbers, Xiao Ran, can you help my sister?" Lin Ran didn't leave his brother's eyes glowing, and said deliberately.

Lin Xiaoran nodded shyly, "Sister, can... No. Let Xiao Ran... See... See. ”

"Take it and watch it slowly, and when you're done, you'll return it to your sister." Lin suddenly handed the account book into his hand, and the latter nodded with a red face.

In the Zhu'an Garden, the second lady Gu finally recovered, and was drinking bird's nest at this time, Lin Zixuan's red eyes threw herself into her arms, and she cried aggrievedly: "Mother, mother!" ”

When the second lady saw that her daughter had been wronged, she glanced at Xing'er, and she withdrew and closed the door for them.

Seeing the maid leaving, he scolded: "You are still not everyone's lady?" Have you forgotten the rules I taught you? ”

Lin Zixuan snorted and cried bitterly: "Mother, you don't even ask the reason, you come to ask your daughter, don't you?" ”

Gu Shi looked at her tear-stained appearance, and was so distressed and blamed that he wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "What the hell is going on, what are you crying about?" Lin Zixuan sobbed and said what had happened, and Gu Shi suddenly turned pale with anger: "You can't make a thing, didn't I make you calm down?" Right now, that little slut is the celebrity in front of the old woman, didn't you give her a benefit by doing this today? ”

Lin Zixuan was stunned when she heard this, and said angrily: "Mother, grandmother is so partial, she is usually reluctant to give away the flash silk to that little slut." ”

When Gu heard his daughter say this, he was angry, and reprimanded fiercely: "Are your eyelids so shallow?" What is this rare thing, if you become a princess, are you still worried that there are no good things in the palace? ”

Lin Zixuan listened to her mother's words, and then calmed down, but she still couldn't swallow this breath, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand: "Mother, are we going to sit and wait to die?" ”

A vicious look crossed Gu's eyes, and he sneered: "Don't worry, that mother and daughter won't be proud for long." Lin Zixuan looked at her mother's eyes, and shuddered, and then she thought of Xing'er who went out just now, and whispered: "Mother, will our words be heard by Xing'er?" ”

Gu sneered: "I sent someone to keep an eye on her, the old woman really thought that she could control me by sending a spy over, she thought it was too beautiful!" Lin Zixuan looked at her mother's determined appearance, and her heart was a little calmer, and she nodded busily and said, "It's still thoughtful." ”

Gu Shi hated that iron could not be made of steel, and glared at her: "You let the swift let the rats bite Lin Ranran's cloth today, will the old lady not know?" What others won't know? ”

Lin Zixuan came to her senses and nodded: "What my mother taught me is that Zixuan knows, and it is true that she will not let people fall in the future." ”

Gu's face softened a little, and he said with a sigh: "It's good that you know, now is not the time to deal with them, now is the critical moment for you to make a family appointment with Prince Yi's mansion, you have more eyes, often go to the old lady's side to ask for peace, now my mother only hopes that you can marry a good family before that concubine!" ”

"Well, Zixuan saved, but why hasn't there been any news from Prince Yi's Mansion in the past few days?" Zixuan nodded, and recalled with some embarrassment: "That time I made a fool of myself in front of him, revealing a bright petticoat, I don't know what he will think after he goes back......" Halfway through, her expression changed: "I'm afraid that girl deliberately attracted Brother Qin's attention!" But it's not right, the two didn't have much intersection later, and until the evening, Tang Zhiqin didn't leave Beiyuan for half a step, but her daughter always felt that Brother Qin was much colder than before. ”

Gu Shi listened to his daughter's words, frowned slightly, and said, "Who else knows about your broken skirt?" ”

Lin Zixuan shook her head: "Except for Lin Ranran and Brother Qin!" ”

Gu narrowed his eyes: "It seems that this girl is really ill-intentioned, if Tang Zhiqin is really interested in Lin Ranran, this matter will not be easy to handle, it is really a fox who has raised a little fox." ”

Lin Zixuan looked at her mother nervously, and said timidly: "Mother, is it possible to watch that little slut rob your daughter's marriage?" My daughter thinks about it now, is it any wonder that there has been no news from Prince Yi's Mansion in the past few days? ”

"Don't worry, it will be the old lady's birthday banquet in a few days, and Tang Zhiqin will also be invited, for the sake of today, you have to have more contact with him, and I will arrange the rest."

Lin Zixuan blushed, revealing her daughter's shyness, and lowered her head: "Yes, thank you." ”

Gu slapped her hand and said with a smile: "Silly child, your family affairs, my mother will definitely let you get your wish." ”

Early in the morning in the lotus garden, Lin Ran and Lin Xiaoran were discussing the account books in the study, she was surprised to find that this child actually had a talent for business, and had his own set of views on the flow of accounts, and could also see the omissions and bad debts.

At this time, the eldest lady pushed open the door and walked in and smiled gently: "Rest for a while, come and drink sugar water!" ”

"yes, yes!" Lin Yuran pulled Lin Xiaoran to the table, "Mother, how are you and your younger brother's health, have you asked the doctor to come and take a look?" ”

The eldest lady He nodded: "The old lady sent people to take a look at it a few times, and also sent two maids and a few miscellaneous maids, and now this courtyard suddenly has popularity, but it seems a little unaccustomed." Lin suddenly looked out of the window, and sure enough, she saw a few little maids sweeping the floor with their heads down, and a few mothers-in-law watering the flowers planted by the eldest lady.

"Sister... Sister, these few.... A few days, two... Second aunt. Aunt also... Come and see. Mother. Kiss. Lin Xiaoran stammered, it sounded extremely difficult, but Lin Xiaoran immediately understood what he meant, it is estimated that Lin Yuan came to test it on purpose, she should know that the second lady's illness is cured, and she is worried that one day her rights will be withdrawn, and now the eldest lady is extremely valued by the old lady, and wants to come to the side to knock on the side.

The eldest lady sighed helplessly: "Yuanyuan has been here, and she begged me to say something good in front of the old lady, for fear that her rights would be handed over to the second room at that time." ”

Lin suddenly snorted coldly: "Her heart is really big, mother, don't you know, the second aunt has embezzled a few pieces of cloth from the treasury during the past few months, if I take these evidence to my grandmother, I don't know what will happen to her?" ”

The eldest lady He covered her mouth in surprise: "Ran'er, how can you know so much?" Lin suddenly smiled and smiled at his younger brother on the side.

"Mother didn't know that although my brother suffered from stuttering, he had the ability to remember and manage his finances, and in the past few days, the old lady gave me some store accounts, and my brother immediately noticed the problem after reading a few strokes."

"Ran'er, this matter is so serious, you must tell the old lady!" The eldest lady said immediately.

Lin suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Mother, you must come forward in this matter, and it is up to you and your younger brother." Because only in this way will the rights slowly fall from the hands of Lin Yuan and the second lady to the hands of her mother, which is why she handed it over to Lin Xiaoran to look at.
