After Bai Xian's family walked out of the door of the conference hall, he slowly walked on the road out of the second gate, hoping to meet Lian Wang's daughter-in-law who came over.

She gives Lian Wang's daughter-in-law a lot of benefits every year, and if she can discuss it with Lian Wang's family, it is not impossible to get through this hurdle.

As she thought so, she saw Lian Wang's daughter-in-law walking behind Yuye.

Bai Xianjia walked a few steps to them, took out a heavy purse from his arms and put it in Yuye's arms, and said, "Good girl, let me say a word to Sister-in-law Lian Wang before leaving." ”

Yuye hurriedly returned the purse back and said, "This can't be done, and the princess is still waiting inside, how can it be delayed here." ”

Bai Xian's heart did not give up, took the purse and withdrew the bracelet on his hand, put it in Yuye's arms together, and said: "Good girl, I promise not to delay time, just say a word." ”

Yuye shook his head and said: "That's not good, what kind of knots are you now, you look at our princess concubine with a good temperament, but if you really lose your temper, it's also very scary, sister-in-law Lian Wang, let's go quickly, don't let the princess wait in a hurry." ”

Lian Wang's daughter-in-law knew that something was wrong when she saw Bai Xian's family, but the things between her and Bai Xian's family, her sins were much smaller, how much Bai Xian's family reported to her, how many items she entered, if someone found out, she would be at most negligent.

After thinking about it like this, Lian Wang's daughter-in-law felt much more at ease.

Seeing that Yuye refused to be accommodating, he said to Bai Xian's family: "Sister-in-law Bai, if you have anything to say, it's not too late for me to return to the princess, don't worry, I am measured." ”

Seeing that the Bai Xian family had nothing to do with Yuye, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay." After saying this, he made a gesture towards Lian Wang's house and hurriedly checked last year's records.

Yuye continued to walk forward with Lian Wang's family. Before she reached the door of the conference hall, she saw a little girl walking lightly and went around to the back window of the conference hall.

When Lian Wang's family arrived at the conference hall, the Zhu family also happened to enter the door.

"The slave has seen the princess of the county!"

The affairs of the Lian Wang family were handled by the Zhu family, and at this time, the Zhu family saw that Liu Ke had called the Lian Wang family, so he asked, "What did you do to offend the princess?" ”

Lian Wang's family hurriedly replied: "The slave doesn't dare. ”

"That's fine. Come in with me. Zhu's words were obviously to support the Lian Wang family.

In this way, the Lian Wang family's heart will be more confident.

Liu Ke saw Zhu and Lian Wang's daughter-in-law walk in together. He smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to go to my heart when I run my brother and sister again, but you also know me, without you, I really have no bottom in my heart." ”

This made Zhu very useful. She sat opposite Liu Ke with a smile and said, "Whatever sister-in-law says, you just have to be slow to get started." ”

That being said, there was a joke in her eyes.

After saying this, Zhu stopped talking.

At this stall. Yuye bowed down and whispered something in Liu Ke's ear, but Liu Ke didn't speak.

Lian Wang's family stepped forward to salute Liu Ke. Liu Ke said: "Sister-in-law Lian, you are in charge of the purchase of items from outside in this house?" ”

Lian Wang's daughter-in-law bowed and said, "Yes, princess." ”

"How much tea was in last year. What kind of tea are you in? Liu Ke asked.

"Yipin West Lake Longjing and Qiandao Yuye each entered five catties, Pingshui Guanshou Zhu Tea entered two catties, and green peony five catties; Jiuqu red plum entered five catties. Five catties of Baise red, two catties of crown gold buds. This is an example tea. If the prince and the princess want to give it away, there will be an outside comprador to buy it. "Lian Wang's family came as soon as he opened his mouth.

After hearing this, Liu Ke said: "Don't count the tea sent by relatives and friends, just the tea, our house will consume nearly thirty catties of tea in a year." So how much did you get in the first half of the year? ”

Lian Wang's daughter-in-law said: "If you return to the princess, in the first half of this year, you have purchased three catties of first-class Longjing, three catties of green peonies, five catties of first-class Qiandao jade leaves, two catties of Jiuqu red plums, and one catty of crown gold buds." ”

As soon as her words fell, Zhu smiled and said: "A palace as big as ours, not to mention only thirty catties of tea, even if there are more, it is normal, I don't know why my sister-in-law suddenly asked about it." ”

Liu Ke smiled: "It's not a big deal, but I have some doubts in my heart," and then said to Lian Wang's daughter-in-law: "Is there a surplus every year?" ”

Lian Wang's family had no scruples when they saw that the Zhu family was protecting themselves, and said with a smile: "The princess is really good at telling jokes, think about it, the prince is on call, the old princess can't be short, send it on time every month, and the county lord can't be short, the princess of the world just got married this year, not to mention, the princess of the county is still saved, and there are a few side concubines and don't say anything left, and it's a blessing not to make up for it in the next year." ”

"It turns out that our house has always needed so much tea." Liu Ke seemed to be a little distressed between his words, and after saying this, he continued: "It's no wonder. ”

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhu Shi heard what Liu Ke said and couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ke heard this, and said carefully: "Today I went to sit in the county lord's room, but I didn't expect the county lord to use the old tea from two or three years ago. I think it must be the people below who rely on the county lord's goodness, and don't care about these little things, so they are lazy and deceive the county lord. ”

When Zhu Shi heard this, he smiled in his heart and said: "This kind of thing shouldn't be, even if the subordinates are difficult for others, they will never go to the county lord to find it uncomfortable, is it that the county lord's subordinates took the wrong tea when they made tea...... Or maybe it's something else. ”

When Liu Ke heard this, he understood what Zhu meant.

Zhu thought that Rong Qiao deliberately buried her with old tea.

Liu Ke's face sank and said: "Brother and sister mean that the subordinates in the county lord's house deliberately took out the old tea to entertain me," After saying this, he shook his head firmly, "This is absolutely impossible, the county lord has a high temperament and is extraordinary, how could he do such a thing, even if her subordinates follow her side, they will never do such a teasing thing." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Shi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't take it seriously, I'm just guessing, I naturally know that the people around the county lord will not do such a thing, I don't think anyone will do such a thing on purpose." ”

"What my brother and sister said is naturally reasonable, but now the county lord is a petite, I just went to pay it back, whether it is old tea or new tea, naturally I won't care, but if her two or three girlfriends are present, it is also such tea, the county lord doesn't care, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be laughed at by the guests, and the county lord is a face-loving person, won't it embarrass her when the time comes."

After Liu Ke said this, seeing that Zhu's face was not good, he changed his tone and said: "I know that my younger brother and sister are the most complete in all four corners, and this kind of thing happened after I took over for a few days, and it reached the ears of the princess, wouldn't it make the princess say that I am useless." ”

When Zhu heard this, his face became better, and he said, "What my sister-in-law said is also true, we will invite someone to ask for clarification later," Speaking of this, she said to Lian Wang's daughter-in-law: "You go and find Bai Xian's family." ”

"No need, I think she should also be outside the door at this time, Yuye will see if Bai Xian's family is here, come, let her come in and talk back." Liu Ke said while ordering Yuye to call people.

Not long after the words fell, Bai Xianjia came in tremblingly, still holding a record book in his hand.

"This is the record of tea deliveries last year?" Liu Ke asked.

Bai Xianjia was standing outside the door just now and didn't hear what was said inside, and when he heard Liu Ke asking, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes, princess." ”

"I'll take a look," Liu Ke said to Bai Xianjia.

Bai Xianjia looked in the direction of the Zhu family, and saw that the Zhu family just lowered his head and fiddled with the gaiwan teacup, so he had no choice but to put last year's record in front of Liu Ke.

Liu Ke flipped through his hand casually and said: "How much tea was sent to various courtyards in the first half of this year?" ”

Bai Xianjia was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know how much Lian Wang's family had reported just now, so she hesitated for a long time and said: "Two catties of Longjing, four catties of green peonies, four catties of Qiandao jade leaves, one catty of Jiuqu red plum, and half a catty of crown gold buds." Now there are some left in the treasury. ”

Liu Ke nodded and said, "The number is almost right, let me ask you again, do all the courtyards send tea on time every month?" ”

After Bai Xianjia listened to Liu Ke's first half of the sentence, he had a hanging heart, so he cared about taking it back, and listened to Liu Ke's questioning, and hurriedly said: "If you return to the princess, it is natural, if you don't send it on time, the masters don't come to the door to ask the slave and maid in person, at that time, the slave and maid's sin will be great." ”

Liu Ke nodded and said, "What about the county lord?" ”

"The county lord is naturally no exception, and he will send the distribution to the county lord on time every month."

After Liu Ke heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh~~ It turns out that this is the case, I understand, you all go down for the time being." ”

Zhu Shi saw that Liu Ke asked around, but he didn't ask anything, and no one disposed of him, so he couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart: People who came out of a small family still want to establish authority at home, it's really wishful thinking.

Bai Xian's family and Lian Wang's daughter-in-law originally thought that there would be trouble today, especially Bai Xian's family, who thought that a catastrophe would come today, but they didn't expect Liu Ke's thunder to be heavy and rainy, and they didn't investigate anymore after asking, they suddenly felt relieved, and at this time, they didn't look at Liu Ke even more.

It's just that they forgot a little, the palace is only such a size, and Liu Ke's movement just now was so big, and it was both a messenger and a question, and the palace had already spread.

Rong Qiao has always been a multi-hearted person, especially now that she has reached the age of marriage, she is even more afraid of what the people in her family will say.

Just now, after Liu Ke went out of her courtyard gate, she went to the council room, and she was a little puzzled, and she had already sent someone to inquire.

The girl who had just turned to the back window of the council chamber was sent by her. (To be continued)
