Heavy rain fell on the Huai River, and the collapse of the embankment caused a violent flood season in the Huai River area. For several days in a row, Zhou Chenyu fought with Cao Mingyuan and Liu Yuan on the embankment, but he really dealt with the flood.

Ke Xiyuan took the tangram and their thick-soled boots, looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the window, very worried.

"Cousin, has it been raining so heavily in this Huai River until this period?" , Ke Xiyuan asked unintentionally, the work in his hands did not stop, and he was extremely distressed when he thought of Zhou Chenyu's bloated being soaked in rain.

"It stands to reason that it does rain here in March. However, this year's rain has been exceptionally heavy. Li Shuling also helped to do it, because the three young masters in the house were all sent to help.

"I see that you seem to have a very good relationship with the second master of the house." , watched from the side for the past few days, but found that Li Shuling's mother and daughter were extremely close to the second master left by the previous original wife.

"I should tell you about my grandfather's family. Although my grandfather's family is in decline, it is a well-known solid family in the Huai River area. You may not know that the former Duchess Kangguo's maiden family was also extremely wealthy, and the lady's dowry back then was extremely rich. When my mother entered the house, the dowry was also rich. After a pause, Li Shuling continued, "But I didn't pay my mother a good job, but over the years, I have been a cheap slave!" I have liquidated the treasury of the house these days, and found my mother's dowry and my wife's dowry......"

"Kang Guogong actually dares to touch the dowry of the two ladies? Don't be afraid of ......", Ke Xiyuan didn't expect Li Yulin to dare to let an aunt sit in charge and openly swallow the dowries of the two wives. She knew it in her heart. A person with a character like Madame really doesn't have the ability to swallow these things. Only Li Yulin has such a concubine guarding the middle feed. And then there is a capable Huang mother by her side, and over time, she will not empty these dowries? But the question is, where did all the dowry go?

"Naturally, he dared! Who in this house does not act according to his face? For example, Mrs. has no other skills except for Bahu, and in the past ten years, her mother's makeup has long been ...... I just don't know. Where did he use it? Li Shuling lowered her voice, "I secretly calculated the account." At least 300,000 taels were paid in the house. ”

Ke Xiyuan gasped, knowing that Huaihe was rich, but he didn't know that he was already rich like this.

Just like the collapse of the Huai River embankment this time, the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court was 150,000 taels of silver. And a Kangguo Mansion. casually disappeared 300,000 taels. It is enough to see how rich the entire Huai River is. I'm afraid that this Kangguo Mansion is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rivals the country.

Li Shuling saw Ke Xiyuan's face, and lowered her voice again, "The master can rest assured that he will hand over the feed to me, because he thinks that I won't read the account books." His biggest flaw is that he is too proud and confident, and he is easy to underestimate others. So, he didn't know that I knew. all these years. Huang's mother was also extremely careful, and at the end of the year. There's always a lot of money to add in. I think you also know that the officials here are all very rich, so the money just to honor the lord every year is very considerable. I looked at the account books, and there was a large amount of money to be allocated every month, and I only said that I was purchasing. But how can you buy and need to use tens of thousands of taels? ”

Tens of thousands of taels per month? Ghost believes! Ke Xiyuan thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said with a little excitement, "Cousin, can the account book be in your own hands?" ”

Li Shuling nodded, "Naturally!" Now that I'm in charge of the feed, many of the books are with me. You don't know, there's a layer of dust on the box where the books are kept. ”

"You put them all away, and maybe one day, you will become a tool to save your mother and daughter." , Ke Xiyuan knew that Zhou Chenyu's current task was to drag Cao Mingyuan and fight on the front line, and couldn't help but wonder, did the prince and Xiaosheng find a place? Did the map she drew use at all?

"Grandma, there is a letter from Yunyin Temple." , Jiuhui did not avoid Li Shuling and handed the letter to Ke Xiyuan.

Ke Xiyuan opened it, and her face changed, "How can this be true!" ”

"What's wrong?" , Li Shuling saw Ke Xiyuan's face change, and she also realized that things were strict.

"The water spirit has been captured! That Master Cao is really bold! The letter was written by Wukong, saying that Master Cao broke into Yunyin Temple with a few thugs, broke into the back mountain directly, and took Shui Ling away.

Shui Ling was left by Ke Xiyuan, and it was really unrealistic to bring the Kangguo Mansion. When he left, he also asked Wukong to take care of her, and only said that he would arrange her when the matter was over in the future. Unexpectedly, Master Cao dared to take this opportunity to take people again! It's really damnable!

"Ke Ying, let the other two go to Master Cao's mansion to take people back for me!" , Ke Xiyuan's eyes were full of anger, and after thinking about it, since Li Yulin is a domineering young lady in her heart, she might as well be more domineering!

Li Shuling didn't know who Ke Xiyuan was talking to, but she had heard of Master Cao's name, and her face was not very good-looking, "This Master Cao is indeed hateful!" ”

Seeing Ke Xiyuan looking over, Li Shuling's voice was slightly deep, "The girl next to me before was taken a fancy by him, and she was originally let out to marry, but he robbed her to be the third aunt." ”

Generally, if the big girl around her is not accepted by the man in the family when she reaches her age, she will be released. Such a girl is generally very dignified, and the main family will give a dowry, and many people will be hired as a wife. And this Master Cao dared to snatch back as an aunt in such a grand manner, which is really bold!

"Humph! I don't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know that there is justice in this world! Ke Xiyuan was very worried in her heart, this water spirit entered the hands of Master Cao, just like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger.

Li Shuling waited with him again, and wanted to arrange the middle feed in the house, so he left first. Ke Xiyuan put away the finished boots, and said to Qiqiao, "You go and send three pairs of boots out, it's okay for the second master to come, Ke Fang and Ryan are soaked in water every day, but I'm afraid that their feet are about to rot." Send us the good ointment we have brought with us, and don't let them fall ill! ”

Qiqiao is pregnant, and she remembers Ke Fang more than ever. Ke Xiyuan asked Qiqiao to go to the front yard to deliver it, but she also wanted her to ask for some news herself. She knew that waiting for someone was not pleasant.

Qiqiao glanced at Ke Xiyuan gratefully, and without saying much, he first wrapped Zhou Chenyu's pair with cloth, and then simply packed the other two pairs, and walked out.

"Qiqiao has decreased a lot these days, grandma will see if she will ......", Jiuhui saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

"If you let her rest, she'll be more cranky. In this way, she did some work together every day, so she didn't have time to think about it. I always think, you two, did I make the wrong arrangement? If you are an ordinary boy, with the dowry I have given you, you can live comfortably, and you don't have to be afraid of me like this. For the first time, Ke Xiyuan felt that the marriage she arranged for the two closest girls did not seem to be very good.

Jiuhui put down the needle and thread in his hand, "Grandma, we are only solid with you." The slave maid just saw that Qiqiao had a body, and she was worried......"

"Jiuhui, you're thinking too much. I'm just a little uncertain about my future at the moment, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, but I'm afraid that it will affect you. Although you respect me and respect me, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to get out of it with your whole body! ”

Jiuhui moved her lips, not daring to continue, just hoping that the rain would stop soon. (To be continued......)
