Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Sword Goes Sideways
Su Wanqing glanced at him meaningfully, didn't take it, drank a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and asked slowly, "Master Fan, what does this mean?" ”
"The villain has no intentions, it's just bits and pieces that can add some rouge gouache to you." Fan Yao smiled innocently, and seeing that Su Wanqing still had no signs of accepting it, he was a little embarrassed and said: "Alas, tell you the truth, Concubine Su, the villain actually has something to ask for." ”
Su Wanqing rolled up her sleeves and said with a slight smile: "It's better to say it clearly if Master Fan has something." ”
Fan Yao made an honest appearance, raised his eyes and said: "Don't hide it from Concubine Su, the villain heard that there may be changes in the main affairs of each Zhuangzi after the year......"
There are such things, not only in Yiwangfu, but also in the grange of large families after the annual festival, according to the account situation, some manpower transfers will be carried out, so as to replace those overwhelmed main things.
Su Wanqing smiled knowingly, and glanced at him lightly, "I understand, it's just that Master Fan is not so big, right?" ”
Fan Yao looked stunned, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand the side concubine, the villain doesn't ask for anything else, he just wants to get a letter in advance, and he has a bottom in his heart." ”
Su Wanqing looked at him, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face: "It stands to reason that what Director Fan is asking for is not a big deal, but there is really no such rule in the house, and I am not good at setting this precedent, I am afraid that I will let Director Fan come for nothing today." ”
This attitude is clearly a rejection.
Fan Yao glanced at her, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, as if he was a little helpless, pursed his lips and sighed secretly, "It's okay." The villain understands that he will not make it difficult for the side concubine, but this thing. Since the villain has been brought, there is no reason to take it back, if the side concubine can afford the villain, she will sell face and accept it. ”
Su Wanqing shook her head, looked at him and said lightly: "Master Fan is like this, but it is difficult for me to explain to the prince." ”
Hearing that Su Wanqing had moved Su Yuanyi out, Fan Yao jumped with his eyebrows. Where do you dare to insist any longer, he immediately wilted, stood up and said embarrassedly: "It's the villain who is not thoughtful." It's not as far-reaching as the concubine thinks, and she almost traps you in injustice. ”
He intends to use the phrase "thoughtful" to downplay the mistake of bribing the master.
Su Wanqing didn't want to deal with him face to face at this time, so she brushed her hands and said, "You are the head of Qingping Village. It's better to think a lot about things in the future. ”
"Yes. Be. Fan Yao bowed again and again.
Fan Yao's matter was not done, and Su Wanqing had nothing to say to him, so she politely said a few words, and let Biwu send him off.
Not long after he left, Hongfu led Lan Shu in.
"How, have you seen that?" Su Wanqing leaned back in her chair quite leisurely, looked at Lan Shu and asked.
Just when Hongfu went out, she found Lan Shu to secretly observe Fan Yao's appearance. She thought for a moment and hesitated, "The slave seems to have seen this person in the East Courtyard in the past year. But not for sure. ”
Although Lan Shu said so, Su Wanqing completely made up her mind.
What's more, she really saw that Fan Yao's face was normal when he left, and it seemed that whether she settled the account after the autumn or failed to do what she had trusted, it didn't make him feel any worries.
He ran so upside down for nothing, he didn't hit the fox, but he made a commotion, and he wasn't annoyed?!
If her guess is right, then this should be Shen Qingyi's last move!
Su Wanqing snorted in her heart, checked the accounts of Qingpingzhuang and Hongfu respectively, made sure that there were no discrepancies, and carefully sorted out the details, which was also very reasonable.
After such a toss, Su Wanqing went to one of the two conjectures in her heart, and roughly had an idea, so she beckoned to Hongfu, motioned for her to come over with her ear, and whispered an order.
Hongfu was taken aback this time, and hesitated: "Master, the person you are talking about, since he has entered the prince's door, will he receive the order?" ”
Su Wanqing smiled disappreciably when she heard this, as if she had already considered it, and smiled: "You can go, just explain the reason to him." ”
After so many twists and turns, Hongfu has a lot of trust in her master's judgment, and without saying a word, she turned around and went to the outer courtyard.
Soon after, Hongfu came back and went inside to say, "Master, it's done." ”
Su Wanqing glanced at her, and saw that she had some meaning to stop talking, so she took a sip of tea slowly, and nodded with interest, "What did he say?" ”
Hongfu's expression was a little obviously strange, and she hesitated: "That one first rejected the slave maid, but when the slave and maid clarified the reason, he agreed, and by the way, he expressed his disdain for bribery, and even said that in the long run, the country will not be a country...... And, finally, he said......"
Su Wanqing glanced at her with a smile, "When did you talk like this?" ”
Hongfu recalled, looked at Su Wanqing's face and said, "He said that the master, as a dignified concubine, really shouldn't go off the beaten path with such a sword." ”
That's what Song Min would say.
Su Wanqing subconsciously pulled the corners of her lips, her reaction to Song Min was not unexpected, or rather, she would entrust this matter to him, and it was precisely because of his rigid and rigid temperament that Su Wanqing shook her head with a smile, and directly ignored the words in her left ear and out of her right ear.
Things went well so far, and the night passed in a blink of an eye.
There was no problem with the accounts, and the feast for the chief was set for noon.
Who knew that in the first half of the morning, the west courtyard ushered in another uninvited guest, who was Shen Qingyi's personal maid Cuizhu.
Su Wanqing remembered that Cuizhu somehow touched Shen Qingyi's moldy head a few days ago and was punished for a period of confinement.
Cuizhu has been to the west courtyard a few times before, and she is already familiar with the way, I don't know if it is because of the pair of dimples on her cheeks, which makes her a little more friendly than Yuji, after all, she doesn't reach out and don't hit the smiling person, so although the people in the west courtyard don't treat Cuizhu very well, they are not as tense as Yuji showed when she came.
At least on the surface, the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.
After a while, Su Wanqing put down the silver chisel that was playing with the candied fruit in the lacquered white milk dish, and said with a smile: "Is the princess's body better?" ”
"Concubine Lao remembers, the princess has taken medicine for a few days, and it can be regarded as a great good." Cuizhu smiled, "No, the body is just cool, so the princess ordered the slave maid to come over and ask if there is anything wrong with the accounts of the grange." ”
"I've done it carefully, and there should be no mistakes." Su Wanqing glanced at her and said with a light smile: "The princess is still worried about the affairs of the palace when she is recuperating. ”
"I'm afraid you don't know." Cuizhu explained with a smile: "The princess is used to hard work, and when she rests at first, she can't help but worry that she has neglected her business due to illness and has fallen into the prince's complaints. ”
Su Wanqing smiled meaningfully: "The prince treats the princess with deep affection, how can it be, the princess is too worried." ”
"The slave thinks the same thing, but she can't resist the master." Cuizhu sighed helplessly, looked up and said, "That's ...... Now that you have checked the accounts, can the slave take the books with you? The princess wanted to see it for herself. (To be continued......)
