In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Zhong sent a letter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Qingran opened it and took a look, it turned out that it was Mu Qiubai who wrote that the date for the opening of the shop had been set, and the day after tomorrow, he asked her if she wanted to go.

Luo Qingran thought about it and decided to go and see it for himself.

Although she couldn't attend the opening ceremony, she hadn't seen it since the shop was completed, and she was very curious now. So he asked Luo Zhong to call people back, and said that early the day after tomorrow, she would go in from the back garden.

Early the next morning, Luo Zheng, the Duke of Weiguo, received an invitation from Prince Duanjin, saying that the new shop would open on April 22 and invite him to watch the ceremony.

After Luo Zheng received the invitation, he called Luo Zhong to come and asked him to personally go to the treasury to pick out a valuable and decent gift, and he would take it with him tomorrow.

A few days ago, the old lady had a birthday banquet, and Prince Duanjin came to congratulate him in person. Although it is mainly because of the emperor's order, after all, people have such a noble status, and it is already a great honor to come. Now there is an opportunity, and it is necessary to repay this favor.

Who knew that Luo Zhong would come back after a while, but he looked sad.

"Master, the slave personally went to the treasury to check, but there is really nothing that can be given to the prince!"

"What!" Luo Zheng couldn't believe his ears? Could it be that he is a dignified prince, and he doesn't even have a valuable collection in the treasury!

So, Luo Zheng, who rarely lost his temper, was so angry that he called the long-term entourage beside him, "Muxi, where is Madam?" Tell Madame to open my private vault! ”

Mu Xi listened and hurriedly went to find the Ye family.

Ye was talking in her daughter's room at this time, and when she heard Mama An talking back and forth, Mu Xi was anxious to say that the master was looking for her, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and hurried back.

Seeing An's anxious look, Luo Qingran thought that something was wrong, so he also followed behind Ye's.

When I arrived in the main courtyard hall, I saw Luo Zheng sitting on a chair, looking very ugly. Standing next to him were Luo Zhong and Mu Xi, both of whom looked like they were hanging their hands and looking down.

Seeing this, Ye Shi hurriedly asked what was wrong.

When Luo Zheng saw her coming, his face eased a little, and said, "You go and open my private vault, the key is not yours." ”

Ye didn't know the truth, so he smiled after hearing it, "Just for such an idea, what else should I do." So saying, he took out the key, led a few people out of the hall, and turned to the storeroom at the back.

It's just that when the Ye family opened the door of Luo Zheng's private warehouse, Luo Zheng went in to take a look, but after coming out, the color became darker, and he returned to the front yard with a calm face without saying a word.

As he walked, he said in his heart, he was a dignified grandfather of the country, and there were only a few calligraphy and paintings and a few ordinary jade ornaments in his private library, which was so shabby that he blushed!

When everyone saw that his face was not good, they all followed him with a worried face.

Luo Qingran had no other plans in his heart.

Father is like this, I am afraid that it is because he received an invitation from Prince Duanjin and wants to find a valuable gift to send, but he didn't expect that after opening the warehouse, he didn't even find a decent one.

Actually, it's quite commonplace!

My father is away all the year round, and everything in the house is in charge of the second uncle and aunt. This couple is scheming! On the surface, it seems that the food and clothing of the big house is the best in the house except for the old lady. Even the old lady often praised Xiao Zhao's family for being in charge of the family and being well-mannered.

But Luo Qingran knew that the second room had embezzled their money over the years!

As far as the monthly money is concerned, according to the rules, the mother's monthly money should be twenty taels every month, and her monthly money is two taels, but when it really comes to their hands, there are only ten taels in total! After removing the small kitchen purchase, there is not much left, let alone any rewards!

And the private property that belongs to her father is in the hands of the second uncle, so how can she and her mother have private money to buy valuable utensils?

Earlier, their mother and daughter didn't care about that. After all, they rarely go out of the house on weekdays, and there is no shortage of food and clothing in the house, and neither she nor her mother are heavy on gold and silver treasures, so they feel that there is nothing to spend.

In their previous lives, they had always naively believed what Xiao Zhao said, because the mansion was not rich, so naturally it could not be squandered.

It wasn't until she died that she knew that it was not that there was no money in the house, but that all the valuable ones were scraped away by the second room!

It's just that many things are already Shen Ke redundant now, and even if Luo Qingran has the heart, it is impossible to master everything at once. You can only be cautious and plan step by step.

Luo Zheng returned to the hall and sent out all the people who were waiting.

Then he asked Ye Shi in a not very good tone, "Why do you have such things in my private vault?" Where does the income of private property go every year? ”

Ye Shi was aggrieved when he heard his words, so he also replied in a bad tone: "The master's private property has never been in my care, where can I know where the income has gone!" ”

"You're not in charge? What the hell is going on? "He is simply confused, his private property is not in the hands of his wife, who is in charge of the house, how can it not be in the hands of others?

Ye was angry in his heart, he complained that he had misunderstood him, and he only sulked and did not speak.

Seeing this, Luo Qingran hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea, put it in front of Luo Zheng, and said, "Dad, you misunderstood your mother, you are not at home all the year round, but you don't know that your mother is no longer in charge of the family." ”

"Oh? That's the old lady in charge? But didn't the old lady say that she was old and didn't want to worry about it anymore? ”

Luo Qingran shook his head and replied with a smile: "It's the second uncle and the second aunt." ”

Luo Zheng subconsciously frowned after hearing this, what does her daughter mean by this? Does it mean that the property that belongs to him has gone into the pockets of Luo Sheng and his wife? But...

Luo Qingran saw his father's doubts, so he asked him, "Dad, do you believe that the house has such an idea?" Although you are an upright official, the three generations of nobles in the Keluo Mansion have come to you, and it is the heyday of the time, why is the treasury so empty? ”

Luo Zheng listened to his daughter's words, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Yes, it is said that he earns 50 taels a month, and he is afraid that there will be a lot of income such as private shops under his name. However, since the money has not been filled with the treasury, and the daughter says that she is not with her wife, where has it gone? Could it be that Luo Sheng and his wife are really greedy?

Luo Qingran saw Luo Zheng's very distressed look, so he said: "It's useless to worry about where the money is going now, after all, it's been like this for many years, and we still have to solve the current predicament first." ”

"What do you think?" Luo Zheng asked.

Luo Qingran smiled, "If you want to say that in this family, it is the old lady who is really in charge, so it's right to start with the old lady." ”

"How do you say that?" Luo Zheng was still puzzled.

Luo Qingran then leaned into his ear and spoke softly.
