After serving the old town duchess to change her clothes, Hua Tian sat down with the old town duchess and reached out to take out an egg from the basket.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo looked strange and asked with a smile, "Why did Tian'er bring the eggs?" Didn't you come out of your own Zhuangzi? ”

She said, but the expression on her face didn't really care. Even the eggs from his own Zhuangzi are nothing.

Hua Tian put the egg next to her and the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo, raised her eyes to look at the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo, and asked, "What does Grandmother think of this egg?" ”

Seeing Hua Tian's appearance, the old Zhenguo Duchess thought that the eggs were really unusual, so she picked them up and looked at them carefully.

But after looking at it for a while, she couldn't see anything, she put down the egg and said, "It looks ordinary, I can't find anything special, Tian'er just talk to me." ”

Hua Tian laughed, "This egg is indeed ordinary, I bought it from outside." ”

"I bought it from outside, so I said I couldn't see the difference." The old Duchess of Zhenguo said with a smile.

Hua Tian gradually put away the smile on his face and asked, "Grandmother, do you know how much this egg costs?" ”

"The price? This ......," the old Duchess frowned and thought for a moment, "I can't remember the specifics, but what is recorded in the account book, let me think about it...... Well, about a dozen or two! ”

When she said this, the faces of the maid and the old woman behind her suddenly changed.

The old Zhenguo Duchess didn't see the faces of the people behind her, and continued, "When I entered the Zhenguo Mansion, the eggs were quite cheap. It's only fifty wen. Over the years, prices have risen so fast. ”

Hua Tian picked up the egg again and looked at the old Duchess seriously, "This egg, I specially asked someone to buy it from outside, and it is also fifty yuan each." ”

As if she hadn't heard what Qing Qingtian said again, the old Zhenguo Duchess was stunned on the spot for a while.

"Grandmother, this egg is still fifty dollars a piece. And in our house, this egg has risen to ten taels of silver. Hua Tian saw that the old town duchess was shocked on the spot. But I'm not going to talk nonsense. Straight to the point.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo reacted, looked at Hua Tian, and then looked at the egg in her hand, "Liuniang." What did you say? You say this egg. It's only fifty dollars outside? ”

Hua Tian nodded. Carrying the whole basket, "These are all bought from outside, and so many are bought together." The price is even cheaper. ”

The old Duchess of Zhenguo opened her eyes wide, looked down at the basket of eggs, and did not speak for a long time.

Only gradually, her face changed.

As someone who has been in charge of the house for decades, how did she not know what was going on?

From buying to entering the kitchen, to bringing them in to eat, the eggs have been exploited a lot, which is an unspoken rule. But what is this?

The old Duchess stood up with a gloomy face, and turned to look at the maid behind her.

All the maids shuddered and bowed their heads.

"Ruyue, you go out and help me buy an egg back." The Duchess of the Old Town commanded in a low voice.

She was so angry that she even forgot to do this, because she didn't trust Hua Tian.

Hua Tian was not angry at her behavior. The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo is willing to verify it in person, and she naturally supports it. After all, what is recorded in the account book, the old town and the Duchess know it, but now the price of eggs, she is not clear. Let her figure it out by herself and face the reality, which also saves a lot of trouble.

After the order was completed, the old duchess of Zhenguo had a gloomy face again, and drove all the maids and servants into the next room, and did not let any of them go out of the garden gate.

After doing this, the old Duchess of Zhenguo came back to her senses, and only then did she remember that she didn't trust Hua Tian, and she didn't give Hua Tian face.

"Liuniang, grandmother is really angry, it's not that she doesn't trust you." She remembered it and immediately thought of making amends.

Hua Tian shook her head, she didn't care about this kind of trivial matter at all, "Grandmother, this is as it should be." Even if the grandmother doesn't have anyone to buy it, Liuniang will also mention yì for the grandmother to send someone to buy it, and know the price. ”

The old Duchess of Zhenguo was relieved, and she added another point of guilt to Hua Tian in her heart, such a sensible and capable granddaughter-in-law, she made her feel bad three or four times, it really shouldn't be.

Reaching out to hold Hua Tian's hand, she sighed, her eyes quickly became sharp again, "Except for this egg, I'm afraid that the rest of the prices are also much higher?" ”

Hua Tian nodded and said, "Since I found my grandmother here today, Liuniang is not afraid to speak straight." In our house, according to the calculation of my weekday meal, it will cost more than two hundred taels of silver. And my mother's family, the same dishes are only a few taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, she ignored the face of the old Duchess of Zhenguo and continued, "If you want to say that my mother's cuisine is not as good as in the house, it is true. But the dishes I have there, my husband is full of praise after eating, at least it will not be worse than the Xie family. ”

The old Zhenguo Duchess's face was so gloomy that she could drip water, and she poked the ground with her cane, "These moths, Zhong Lijia's house, will be destroyed in their hands!" ”

She was really angry, even if Hua Tian found out this, it hurt her face a little, and she was able to blame the past. If the Zhenguo Mansion is hollowed out by moths, the entire family will have a title, and it won't last long.

"Liu Niang, these people must be ruthless! It's your housekeeper now, but I didn't say that I quit completely, I will work with you to reorganize this house! ”

When she said this, she was also afraid that Hua Tian would be young and would be hindered in her vigorous and resolute behavior in the house.

Hua Tian knew her kindness, so she didn't think of where to go. She nodded and said, "For the sake of the Zhenguo Mansion, Tian'er is not afraid of offending people." But when the time came, Tian'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to find her grandmother. ”

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo nodded, and said in a continuous voice, "Good boy." ”

Hua Tian glanced around, and then glanced at the coming ceremony with him.

Laiyi understood, got up and walked out.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo didn't know what Hua Tian planned to do, but today's events had too much impact on her, and it also gave her a feeling: Hua Tian was capable and reliable. No matter what she does, it is for the Zhenguo Mansion.

Hua Tian took out the fake field deed, handed it to the old duchess of Zhenguo, and said sternly, "Grandmother, it's not a big deal, our plan can be rectified after all." But this land deed is different. ”

It was with the cultivation of the old Duchess of Zhenguo who had been rolling in the inner house for decades, and she was also frightened by Hua Tian's expression and tone, and her heart beat faster, and she took the deed. I watched it.

"This is the deed of our Zhongli family. However, it is not an ordinary land deed, but a land deed for sacrificing the field. When the old town Guogong said this, the hand holding the deed even trembled, this deed ......

And she wanted to comfort herself, but she couldn't be dizzy. Because Hua Tian is so cautious. It must have happened to me.

Hua Tian took a deep breath. "Grandmother, Tian'er is here to talk to you about this. This deed is fake! ”

The old Duchess of Zhenguo shook her hand, and Tian Qi floated down from her hand. She fell behind her with some unsteady steady.

Hua Tian knew that the old Zhenguo Duchess would definitely be excited, but he never imagined that she would be excited like this, so he was startled at the moment, and hurriedly reached out to help, and said urgently, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't care about grandmother," the old Duchess of Zhenguo held Hua Tian's hand, "You tell grandmother the truth, is what you said true?" ”

There was a soft couch with a backrest behind her, so she wouldn't get hurt even if she lay down.

Hua Tian relieved himself when he saw this, and nodded heavily in the face of the expectant gaze of the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo.

"Which one is the one who got a thousand cuts...... I didn't even let go of the sacrificial field......" The old Zhenguo Duchess gritted her teeth and trembled with anger.

Hua Tian saw her excited appearance, and knew that the old Duchess of Zhenguo really didn't know about it.

"Grandmother, I'm curious, how can the deed of this sacrifice field be fake, and there is no problem with the others." Hua Tian asked his doubts.

The gold, silver and jewelry of the Zhenguo Mansion are not lacking at the moment, that is, if someone wants to sell things to repay the money, the first move must also be gold and silver jewelry, and it will not be the turn of the land deed. Hua Tian even thought that the deed was fake from the beginning.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo gritted her teeth and said, "Three years ago, the elders of the Zhongli clan entered Beijing and said that there was land to be sold near the sacrificial field, so let me compare the land deed here." I gave it here, but for some reason I didn't buy the land, so I only sent the land deed back. It just so happened that I was sick, so the deed was placed in the house and was not put away. ”

Obviously, that's what happened. The old Duchess of Zhenguo even suspected that the old man of the clan had taken the fake land deed, but when the land deed was returned, she took it in her hand, which was absolutely true.

Hua Tian was as suspicious as the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo, so he immediately asked, "Is the land deed that was returned back true or false?" ”

"It's true." The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo closed her eyes, "After the deed was returned, I put it in the cabinet in the house, but it was only three or four days, and then I was put away as soon as I got better." It was a hectic time, and I didn't look closely. ”

In other words, the deed was most likely stolen in those three or four days.

The deed was placed in her room, and the idlers and miscellaneous people couldn't come in, only the people who came to ask for peace, or the people in her house.

The old Duchess of Zhenguo figured it out, and the green tendons on the back of her hand were exposed, she couldn't imagine that someone had hit her on the head.

"Presumably, it was taken by someone in those days, and the land deed was forged and put back." Hua Tian said in her mouth, but her brows furrowed, and soon, she looked at the old town Duchess,

"For today's plan, we can only secretly buy those sacrificial fields back first, and as for the price, I'm afraid it can only be opened by others. At the same time, when buying a sacrificial field, check who was in the last round. In my grandmother's house, I asked my grandmother to work harder and check it out. ”

The old duchess nodded again and again, "It's up to you, good boy, the silver will be taken from the middle father, if it's not enough, you will come to find your grandmother." ”

Hua Tian responded, and then said, "At the moment, these things are not publicized, please grandmother must bear with it." At that time, Liuniang made a big move in the house, and asked her grandmother not to be surprised. When the bull ghost snake god comes out, let's clean people out again. ”

Listening to Hua Tian's reasoning, he seemed to be confident, and the old Zhenguo Duchess all nodded in agreement.

Hua Tian comforted the old Duchess of Zhenguo for a while, and waited until the maid named Ruyue came back and confirmed the price of the eggs, and then took Laiyi back.

When she returned to her garden, she was not at ease after all, so she asked Fennel to send someone to secretly go to the Duchess of the Old Town to inquire about the news.

However, after all, the news came out, and soon there were rumors in the house, and people kept coming to Hua Tian to inquire about the news.

In the face of these inquiries, Hua Tian responded with a smile, saying that there was nothing wrong, but he didn't understand it, so he asked his grandmother.

After sending everyone away, Hua Tian remembered that Mrs. Shi had been abandoned by Zhong Li Dexiu and went home, and immediately thought about it, and summoned Lai Yi to give a few low orders.

Laiyi smiled when she heard this, and soon went out.

Hua Tian sat down and rested for a while, then thought about how to burn the three fires of the new official.

It stands to reason that she is a young daughter-in-law, and it is not good to start a fire right away. But now the corruption within the Zhenguo Mansion is too strict, and she has to rectify it.

After thinking for a while, Hua Tian made a decision.

No matter how she is going to send the subordinates in the house, she will always be famous. But there are many kinds of famous teachers, so she chooses the one with strong effect.

The population of the Zhenguo Mansion is not thin, but there is only one Zhong Liche who is really talented. The rest of the people, some of them are mediocre, and some of them are outright deceitful.

It is precisely because the population is not thin that there are more internal disputes. Hua Tian decided to start with the internal population of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Having made a decision, she quickly summoned Fennel, Lilac, and Luo Yun again, and asked them to investigate the rest of the room.

"Remember, no matter how big or small, I inquired about everything." Hua Tian said softly.

Several people knew that there was a problem with the account books in the house, so they quickly understood Hua Tian's meaning and took action.

Sending people out, Hua Tian turned around and went into the small room on the side to see his son.

Since the birth of her son, she has been busy, and she has too little time to spend with him.

Holding his son, watching him grin unconsciously, I don't know what he was silly, Hua Tian couldn't help laughing.

She thought about it, called Sandalwood, and said a few toys in her mouth, and asked Sandalwood to draw a picture according to her own requirements and make a finished product.

Sandalwood was a pair of clever minds, and soon understood Hua Tian's request and went out.

Time passed day by day, and soon Hua Tian's eighteenth birthday arrived.

She didn't make much of a big deal, but just invited the people in the house to dine together, and invited her mother's family to come over and talk.

On Hua Tian's birthday, after the banquet, Zhou Yuan followed Hua Tian back to Hua Tian's house.

Hua Lou was also brought in, he was already able to speak, and he was stumbling with Hua Tian about something, and he couldn't remember the words when he was talking, so he grinned.

Hua Tian looked funny, and couldn't help but hug the person over and kiss and pinch.

Zhou Yuan laughed at her action, "Your son is also here, why don't you pinch your son, but pinch my son?" ”

Hua Tian smiled, "He's still young, and he's not as cute as his little cousin." ”

The two exchanged a few words and talked about Luo Feng's entry into the door. (To be continued......)
