After going out from the Shen family, Tang Qing'er took the ginkgo back to her courtyard together, and after returning to the house, Tang Qing'er called the three of them to the front and said to them: "Tomorrow, Steward Xue will gather the people in the house to wait in the main hall, Zhu'er and Lu'er are responsible for asking me about the things I explained, and Ginkgo is responsible for writing." ”

Zhu'er asked, "Madam, what are you asking me and Lu'er tomorrow?" ”

Tang Qing'er said: "Whenever you call a subordinate, you will ask them whether they signed a death contract or a living contract with the mansion, if it is a living contract, how many years, and then ask them their name, gender, age, whether they are married, and what are they responsible for in the mansion?" Where are the people? How many brothers and sisters are in the family, where do they live, and if they have a history of doing wrong things in the house?"

Lu'er said: "Madam, if you ask in such detail, I'm afraid that the people in the house will not be happy to answer!" ”

"What's this? The master and servant are supposed to distinguish between the inferior and the inferior, and besides, I am not asking them to do anything embarrassing, but just explaining their own affairs, and what is wrong. ”

"This ...... If someone sees that you are young and unconvinced, and argues with you, what should you do? ”

Tang Qing'er said lightly: "People are not leaving, fighting backwards, I have a way to convince them." The voice was very soft, but the words were very intimidating.

The three people standing couldn't help but be shocked, and Ginkgo slowly said, "Madam, is the slave and maid written like you said?" ”

Tang Qing'er shook her head and said: "In addition to the three of you, Sanshun and Steward Zhou, there are also some maids who serve the wife and the old lady in the house, and more than 30 people will be interrogated tomorrow, you can now write the content on a piece of paper according to what I just said, and then show it to me,"

Ginkgo raised a moment and said, "Where is the slave and maid writing." There is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in this room, how can she write according to what the young lady said.

Tang Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Zhu'er, you go to the study with me,"

"Yes,"

Tang Qing'er took Zhu'er to the study, and handed over the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk to Zhu'er by herself, and asked her to take it to the room and put it on the table.

Tang Qing'er returned to the house, saw that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone had been placed on the table, and said to Ginkgo: "I have brought you all the things, and now you will list the problems I just said one by one." ”

"Yes," Ginkgo blessed the young lady and sat on the stool, although she was sitting on the stool, but her ass was only sitting on one side.

Tang Qing'er didn't say anything, just looked at the words she wrote, nodded and praised with a smile: "Your font is written well, it is beautiful and elegant." ”

Ginkgo lowered her head and concentrated on writing, listening to the young lady's praise of her, she couldn't help but blush behind her ears, her little face turned red, and she whispered: "How can the words of the slave and maid be as good as the young lady said, the young lady is really tormenting the slave and maid." ”

"I'm telling the truth! You must not be so humble. Tang Qing'er smiled lightly.

After Tang Qing'er saw the sample written by Ginkgo, she added a few more sentences to it, nodded and said, "That's it!" You write forty sheets according to this, and tomorrow when Zhu'er and Lu'er ask them questions, it will be convenient for you to fill in these contents quickly. ”

Ginkgo didn't expect the young lady to think so thoroughly, so she nodded her head busily, and concentrated on writing the content just now for tomorrow.

Xue Qianxun came back very early from outside, and saw Qing'er staying alone in the house, scribbling on rice paper with a howling pen, and when he looked up and saw him, he was surprised: "Why did you come back so early today." ”

Hearing this, Xue Qianxun's face turned dark, and he said in a bad tone: "Didn't you ask me to come back earlier?" ”

"Oh! I forgot what I said to you in the morning! Tang Qing'er laughed.

Xue Qianxun saw that she no longer looked worried in the morning, and said slowly: "You went to find Steward Xue?" ”

"How do you know?" Tang Qing'er put the howling pen in her hand on the inkstone and asked.

"Guess!" Xue Qianxun replied lightly with two words, he deliberately said to Qing'er in the morning: "In the future, when she is housekeeper, she will be polite to Steward Xue." "How can she bear it with her temperament, I'm afraid that after he leaves, she will talk to Steward Xue!

"Yes, I've already had a deep conversation with Steward Xue." Tang Qing'er raised her eyebrows and said.

"And what was the result?"

"Tomorrow morning, Steward Xue will summon the subordinates of the mansion to go to the main hall, and I will officially meet with the subordinates,"

"You've already thought of a countermeasure?"

"How can you empty gloves white wolf, of course you have to be prepared."

"Can you tell me," Xue Qianxun shook his head amusedly.

Tang Qing'er raised her chin slightly and said, "What's the use of telling you, it's not your housekeeper in the future, you're still watching from the sidelines!" See how I keep the administration of the house in order. ”

Xue Qianxun nodded, convinced: "Of course I can rest assured that you do things." ”

Not continuing to discuss this topic, Tang Qing'er asked, "Have you eaten at night?" ”

Xue Qianxun shook his head and said, "No." ”

Tang Qing'er called Zhu'er in and said, "Let the kitchen add two dishes,"

"Yes."

Xue Qianxun said: "For your sake today, I deliberately came back early, but fortunately you haven't eaten?" ”

"It's just a coincidence," she suddenly became interested in practicing calligraphy, and forgot the hour for a while, so she hadn't eaten yet, and then picked up a howling pen and wrote something on rice paper.

Xue Qianxun stood next to her and saw her so serious, he fixed his eyes on what she wrote, and after reading it, he said: "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, your writing is getting better and better." ”

Tang Qing'er glared at him, and said angrily: "Do you think I snatched his copy from Yang'er back then, what did I do?" I've also copied it without sleep or food, and now it's the result of my efforts. ”

Xue Qianxun smiled silently, and said carefully: "You wrote Li Bai's 'will enter the wine' into Wang Xizhi's font, which is indeed unique. After speaking, he read slowly: "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns." You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I was born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone, how did I think of writing this poem. ”

Tang Qing'er said slowly: "I suddenly remembered in my mind and wrote it down? Just now you said that you used Wang Xizhi's font to write Li Bai's poems, and it does seem to be a bit unique, Li Bai's poems are heroic and unrestrained, and the artistic conception is wonderful, while Wang Xizhi's font is chic and elegant, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, one is rigid and one is soft, and it is as natural as flowing water. ”

"Yes." The corners of Xue Qianxun's mouth raised, he felt that staying with Qing'er would always allow him to discover the other side of her, sometimes naughty but gentle, sometimes cute and sometimes intelligent, sometimes careless and sometimes delicate, as long as he saw her, the boredom in his heart disappeared at once.

Tang Qing'er sighed, picked up the pen and continued to write the following poem, but Xue Qianxun felt that she was in a bad mood at the moment, and asked, "It was fine just now, why did you sigh again?" Is there anything else that bothers you besides the housekeeping? ”

"Nope!" Tang Qing'er felt that after he came back, she was thinking that it would be a little difficult to write the poem below, so she put the pen on the inkstone again.

Xue Qianxun thought of the original intention of coming back early, and couldn't help but say, "I have good news to tell you, it's something you've been looking forward to for a long time. ”

Tang Qing'er said with a lack of interest: "What is it?" "She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in the house, and she repeats one thing day after day, if there is anything else that can make her excited, it is the affairs of her mother's family!

Tang Qing'er has just been separated from her father and mother for two days, what can happen at home, unless it is a person! Thinking of this, Tang Qing'er excitedly pulled Xue Qianxun's sleeve and said, "Is there a letter from Liang'er?" ”

Xue Qianxun nodded, and Tang Qing'er hurriedly asked, "What about the letter?" What about faith? Take it out and show me. ”

Xue Qianxun took out the letter from his arms and handed it to her: "I know that you are anxious, as soon as the letter arrived in my hand, I hurried back to the house." ”

"Then you just said that you came back for me."

"Isn't it?"

Tang Qing'er was choked by his words, and said coquettishly: "I know, your old man came back for me." ”

"It's good to know," I wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a good time with her at night, but when I thought of the deceased old Tang, this idea was immediately dispelled from his mind.

Tang Qing'er quickly opened the letter, looked at it word by word, and after reading it, he said with tears in his eyes: "Liang'er said that his fifty jars of jujube wine met a large number of merchants, and after tasting it, he felt that the wine had a long taste and a very good taste, and he heard that it could be stored for many years, so he bought all the jujubes, and sold them for a total of 1,500 taels of silver, and said that after he sold the wine, he immediately distributed the money to the third layer of the horse team, and he exchanged the rest of the money for a silver ticket and carried it closely. ”

"Anything else?"

"The letter also mentions that along the way he saw many starving people, unclothed, and among them many little babies asked him for food, and he hardened his heart and did not give them to them, and once he gave alms, the hungry people would flock to him, which would bring a lot of trouble to the horse team."

Xue Qianxun nodded and said, "Just like what you said to him when he was leaving, once you have compassion in your heart, it is often the easiest to find yourself a disaster." ”

Tang Qing'er wiped her tears and said: "Liang'er also asked her father and mother how her health is, whether Yang'er Xiao'er is studying hard, whether Jiao'er is still causing trouble with Man'er, and will taro be called now?" In my heart, everyone in my family mentioned it, but they didn't ask me, woo, this person with no conscience! ”

Xue Qianxun saw Qing'er crying, and said with a smile: "You were not mentioned in the letter, and you won't be so sad, maybe I will write a letter to you next time?" "In fact, Tang Liang wrote a total of two letters this time, one was written by his father and mother, and the other was written by 'Xue Qianxun'.

Tang Qing'er said with tears in her eyes: "This guy has no conscience, I gave him money to let him see the world, and I was afraid that he would encounter any danger on the road, so I prepared old clothes for him, and sewed money in the old clothes, but who knew that he didn't mention me in his letter." ”

Xue Qianxun put his arms around Qing'er's waist, he was going to tell her about this when he went to bed at night, but who expected her to react so much, let go of the hand around her waist, and took out another letter from his arms and said: "This is for us!" ”

Tang Qing'er saw that it was written 'Xue Qianxun' in person, and the font was the same as Liang'er's, so angry that she clenched her fists and slammed into him: "You deliberately hid it and didn't let me see it!" ”

"Alas! I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect it to be a fright! Xue Qianxun sighed and said lightly.

"Indeed, as you said, fright is more than surprise," Tang Qing'er said angrily.

"Sure enough, women are made of water." Seeing that Qing'er immediately withdrew her tears, and couldn't help but read the letter happily, he didn't understand a little, the changes on her face were like flipping through a book, sunny and cloudy.

"This guy is worried that you will be bullied by me, is he my own brother, why is his elbow turned out." Tang Qing'er thinks it's better not to read this letter? The more you look at it, the more angry you get.
