If you want to understand jade, the most direct way is of course to conduct field trips, but you can go with Zhou Xiao......

Zhou Xiao saw An Qingchen hesitate, as soon as the curtain was lowered, a cold voice came out of the carriage: "Just go!" ”

Qingchen hurriedly said: "I'll go, I'll go." When to depart? ”

"Three days later." Before the words fell, the car had gone away.

Qingchen felt the need to visit the housekeeper of Mofu before going to Nanyang, so not long after Zhou Xiao left, she took Xiao Tao and headed for Mofu.

When I came to the door of Mofu, the three big characters of "Mowangfu" were still strong and powerful, but there was not even a person guarding the door at the door, which made people sad.

Qingchen pushed the door in, and at this time, a small guy ran out from the side.

Qingchen said: "Why is no one guarding the door?" Do you think there is no one in Mofu? ”

The little guy hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "The villain should die, the villain should die, I slack off when I see that no one has come to the door in January, the villain must guard the door well in the future, and he must guard the door well!" ”

Qingchen glanced at him coldly and said, "Give me a good guard of the gate of the palace, and if I am lazy next time, I will break your legs." "Anyway, her An Qingchen's murderous notoriety has long been outside, and now that Mofu is like this, she simply let her murderous reputation be confirmed.

"Go and report to the old butler, I'll wait for him in the study."

The little maid left in response, her legs were still trembling, he had heard of Miss An's notoriety for a long time, and it was said that the maid who served her was beaten to death four times......

Xiao Tao looked at the little guy who stumbled away, and said with a smile: "Miss, you scared the people of Mofu!" ”

Qingchen smiled without saying a word, and went straight to the study. The subordinates have the inferior nature of the subordinates, especially in the Mowang Mansion where there is no master, it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be managed by the old housekeeper alone, if she does not stand upright, I am afraid they will turn the sky upside down.

When he came to the study, the old housekeeper was already waiting there, and when he saw the dust, he saluted respectfully: "I have seen Miss!" ”

Qingchen grabbed him and said, "The old butler doesn't have to be so polite. Then he instructed Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, help the old housekeeper sit down." ”

Although Steward Mo is old, his eyes are still shining, "Miss came to the palace today, is there anything unclear in this account?" He didn't expect a fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady to be able to read the ledger, and he didn't expect her to come to visit him in three days, but she didn't expect to come after a month. There are only two reasons why it came so late, either I can't understand it, I'm embarrassed, and it's been delayed so far; Or they didn't look at it at all. According to the rumors about this Miss An, it is estimated that both are possible.

Listening to Steward Mo's question so directly, An Qingchen no longer beat around the bush: "I wonder if the old housekeeper has read the account book of Yumanlou?" ”

"The old slave has seen one or two." This jade building is the largest industry of the Mo family, how could he not look at it.

"In that case, I wonder what the old butler thinks about the price of jade?"

As soon as these words came out, Steward Mo was really surprised, it seems that this An Qingchen is not a straw bag as rumored, but maybe she just asked casually.

"The price of this jade has always been like this, I don't know what's wrong?" He naturally knows the trickiness on this account, but the price of this jade is complicated, and if it moves at this time, I am afraid it will hurt the Mo family.

Qingchen raised his eyebrows, it seems that although this old housekeeper verbally said that he would do his best to assist, he actually had hidden selfishness.

"Oh! Didn't the old butler feel that something was wrong? Qingchen sighed, and continued: "It seems that the old housekeeper doesn't really want Qingchen to be in charge of the Mo family's industry. In this case, Xiao Tao, go back to the General's Mansion and let Uncle Zhong send someone to move all the account books back to Mowang's Mansion! ”

So saying, he got up to leave.

When Steward Mo saw this situation, his heart suddenly brightened, it seems that this Miss An family is a master with clever means, and the decision of the prince of his family when he left was not emotional, maybe she can solve this problem that has plagued the Mo family for many years.

"Miss An, please stay!" Butler Mo knelt on his knees and said, "Listen to the old slave." ”

Qingchen's footsteps paused slightly, "Old butler, please get up and speak." "This ancient man is also true, he likes to kneel on the ground at every turn.

Steward Mo sat down again and slowly spoke: "Miss, don't blame the old slave, the old slave really has unspeakable hardships. We all know that there is a problem with the price of this jade, and the prince also sent someone to secretly visit when he was alive, but the mine owners in Nanyang are all friendly with the shopkeeper Chen, and we send others to buy it, and the price is even more expensive than this. Therefore, knowing that Chen's shopkeeper is full of personal pockets, he is helpless. ”

When Qingchen heard this, he knew in his heart that it was an agreement between internal employees and suppliers to jointly embezzle the interests that originally belonged to the owner.

"Old butler, can you describe the person in detail Shopkeeper Chen?" The crux of the problem lies in this shopkeeper Chen.

"Chen's shopkeeper's name is Chen Changgui, he has followed the old prince since he was thirteen years old, Yumanlou was created at that time, just because this Chen Changgui is neat, the old prince will take him with him every time he goes to Nanyang, after the old prince died, Yumanlou has been taken care of by him, the prince reads that he is the old servant of the old prince, and has not moved him, but who knows, he has intensified his ......"

Hearing this, Qingchen completely understood, and it turned out to be a problem left over from history.

"What the old butler means ......"

"This person has a deep foundation, and if he moves at this time, the old slave is afraid that the foundation of Mofu will be affected."

Qingchen thought for a moment, and felt that the old housekeeper's words were not unreasonable: "Although the old housekeeper can rest assured, I won't move him for the time being." "I just took advantage of this trip to Nanyang to explore the reality of the jade mine owners.

Coming out of Mofu, Qingchen went to Mingjing Pavilion by the way, because she was not wearing men's clothes this time, the shopkeeper didn't recognize her, and she didn't stop long. It's just that when I passed by Tianyin Fang, I looked in slightly, but I didn't see Zhou Yun, and I don't know what he was busy with recently, I haven't seen him for a long time.

Wandering all the way, she unconsciously walked back to the General's Mansion, as soon as she entered the door, Uncle Zhong stepped forward to report: "Miss, Huang Shiren's son Huang Xianzu has just arrived in Beijing, and is now waiting in the flower hall, I don't know what arrangements Miss has?" ”

Huang Xianzu is the son of Tulangzhong who was kidnapped to Kyoto by Zhou Xiao.

"Let's meet first." Qingchen followed Uncle Zhong to the flower hall.

Before he arrived at the door of the flower hall, Huang Shiren had already come out with a young man to greet him, walked up to Qingchen, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Miss Da En, the world will never forget!" ”

Qingchen was at a loss when they knelt down like this, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, please. ”

"It is a great favor for the young lady to bring the child to Kyoto to reunite with me, and let the villain listen to the errand in the house." He pulled the people around him: "Xianzu, don't kowtow to Miss yet." ”

Qingchen carefully looked at the person who was kneeling, his body was well-proportioned, his skin was fair, especially his eyes, which were blazing, obviously, this Huang Xianzu was not similar to his father.

"Alright, get up. Xianzu will live with you first, and I will arrange an errand for him in a few days. ”

The father and son thanked him for two thousand thanks.

In the blink of an eye, the three-day period has arrived. Early in the morning, the carriage of King Yong's Mansion was waiting at the door. Qingchen ordered the matter properly, changed into men's clothes, brought some fine silver taels, and went out.

When they arrived at the door, they were taken aback by this grand pomp, three or two carriages, lined up all the way, and there was a team of cavalry behind, plus maids and slaves, no less than a hundred.

Just when she was stunned, she saw the curtain of the first carriage being lifted, revealing Zhou Xiao's sculptural handsome face and the baby in his arms.

"Just you?" Zhou Xiao asked.

Qingchen nodded. Could it be that he wants to take Xu'er with him.

"You don't have a maid with you?" I really don't know how this woman's daughter is becoming.

A maid entourage? The maid only has Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao wants to help her take care of the Spiegel Pavilion, so it is obviously impossible to go with her; Entourage, it seems, does not ......

At this time, Huang Xianzu's eyes suddenly popped out of her mind: "Uncle Zhong, tell Xianzu to come out and follow me to Nanyang!" ”
