Chapter Twenty-Six: Grandfather

After a cup of tea, the abacus in Jiang Luyao's hand stopped, looked at the stewards in front of him with an inexplicable smile, and gently closed the account book in his hand, "Which of you will say it first?" โ€

The second wife stood behind Jiang Luyao, unable to learn the demeanor of her daughter sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, her apricot eyes widened and looked at the stewards angrily, wow, sure enough, you are all black-hearted ghosts! Look at my daughter, don't skin you!

"Second Miss......" someone had the courage to take the lead in talking, "what do you let the slave say?" โ€

"Last month, there were fifty taels of silver missing in the account."

Jiang Luyao ignored the steward who changed his face, and casually pointed to someone in the steward: "And you, you are more greedy than him, you can eat five boxes of silk in one bite, and you are not afraid of dying!" โ€

"You're not much better, selling rice and selling it for the price of chaff, it's not your family's business, you have a good heart, right?"

Every steward who was commented on by Jiang Luyao couldn't help but cry with a sad face, the second lady not only played the abacus well, but also understood the account book, and was proficient in business and knew the world, it was really hard to fool.

"Daughter, how much silver did they swallow?"

The second wife asked Jiang Luyao in a low voice, and the second wife was not interested in who embezzled how much, "I just want to know, how many taels of silver can we get from it?" We can't get the business of the Hou Mansion in our hands, warn them...... Well, wouldn't it be nice for us to use it? โ€

Jiang Luyao's fingers clenched one by one, should she thank her biological mother for her optimism and contentment?

It is true that the business of the Hou Mansion will be left to the person who inherits the lord, and the second room will not be obtained, but now...... It's not a matter of digging the corners of the Hou Mansion, someone is on the head of the second room!

"Mother, five hundred taels is the least."

Jiang Luyao moved her lips, and the second wife couldn't help but smile when she heard the amount of silver, five hundred taels, it's really a lot, this is the first reconciliation, will there be five hundred taels every month in the future?

Fortune pull!

"Second Miss, the slave knows his mistake." Someone in the steward understood the temper of the second wife, and begged the second wife for mercy, "The slave is willing to take out the silver......"

Someone started, and the stewards behind also told the second wife that they could spit out the dirty silver and hand it over to the second wife for disposal.

"Daughter......" The second wife wanted to open her mouth to help the stewards intercede, but the daughter said that one sang with a white face and the other with a โ–กโ–ก face, and she had already cooperated with Jiang Luyao very tacitly.

"Mother, wait a minute."

Jiang Luyao raised her voice and said, "Brother." โ€

Jiang Minjin walked in from the outside, her tall figure was very oppressive, "Little sister, you say, how to clean them up." โ€

"Tie them all up and give them to my grandfather."

"Not grandmother?"

"The Hou Mansion is the Hou of Yongning!"

Jiang Luyao stood up, "I have to meet my grandfather first." โ€

Her second father is still in front of her grandfather, and I don't know if the old man will be angry with the second father!

Yongning Hou's life and death, Jiang Luyao didn't care about it, but she didn't want Jiang Erye to bear the charge of angry Lao Tzu, Yongning Hou couldn't think about it, and left Jiang Erye to eat by his side.

"Okay." Since Jiang Minjin dares to fight in a group outside, his skills are naturally clean and neat, and he doesn't dare to say that he is comparable to Jiangmen Huzi, but it is not a problem for him to beat five or six sons and brothers who are also gentlemen.

If he didn't have this ability, Jiang Luyao wouldn't worry about him messing around outside, and he wouldn't be able to worship the good boss of Sai Meng!

Ma Tsai also has to have real skills.

The stewards were already at a loss, so how could they dare to do something with the second young master? was soon tied up by Jiang Minjin with a rope, and the stewards were like grasshoppers tied to it, and the corners of Jiang Luyao's mouth couldn't help but bend a smile.

"Mother, someone mentioned that Aunt Liu is a drama, I think they are afraid that their father will be favored in front of the old man...... You also need to be careful. โ€

Jiang Luyao told the second wife about the things in the house, and at the same time was a little worried that the second wife, who loves to play petty, looked down on her father, "She is always my father's biological mother, although she is from a low background, she is also ......"

"The second master is a concubine, I knew this before I left the cabinet." The second wife put aside the matter of calculating income for the time being, and said confidently: "Besides, I am married to your father, and I don't mean to my aunt, even if the second master is not the blood of the Hou Ye, I will follow him in my life." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Jiang Luyao turned around, "Brother, let's go." โ€

She didn't understand the second wife's mind of marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, obviously the second wife only regarded Jiang Erye as her husband, no matter what her background, marrying is a lifelong thing.

Jiang Minjin dragged the rope, a string of stewards followed, Jiang Luyao fell to the bottom of the formation, as soon as they came out of the courtyard of the second room, the entire Hou Mansion was a sensation, and along the way, Jiang Luyao saw a lot of people who probed their brains to inquire about the news.

The second room is not a hit, and it is a blockbuster.

She doesn't like to be in the limelight, and her favorite thing is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and make a fortune in a muffled voice, but some villains just love to stretch their claws in front of her, forcing Jiang Luyao to be high-profile.

The courtyard of Yongning Hou Meditation is located in the northernmost part of the Hou Mansion, which has to span the entire Hou Mansion, so Jiang Luyao walked to the courtyard where her grandfather was resting, and she was already numb to the feeling of being in the limelight.

"Second Miss, you can count it on, the second master and the Hou master are about to do it."

"Ahh

Before Jiang Luyao could hear what was going on, she saw Jiang Erye running out of the house in a hurry, "Dad, don't be angry." โ€

He was followed by an old man with a broom and gray and thin hair, "Eight lambs, do you dare to run?" You stand down! Stand down! โ€

"Second Master...... Hou Ye ......" The old housekeeper who had been serving Yongning Hou asked the second lady for help with silent eyes, "This is the third time, one runs, and the other chases ......."

Jiang Minjin's eyes lit up, and she muttered, "I don't want to be beaten by my father, I can still run." โ€

That's not the point, well, dear!

Jiang Luyao held her forehead in pain, covering her eyes with her hands, she was too lazy to look at the father and son jumping up and down, and asked the old housekeeper, "What's going on?" Didn't my grandfather rest in bed? โ€

Didn't you say that the old marquis only had one breath left? Is the old man chasing his son in front of him a grandfather?

To say something without conscience, Jiang Luyao is always ready to wait for the old man to break up after he passes away, and today looking at the spirit of the old man, at least he can live for another three and a half years.

"Second Miss, hurry up and stop the second master, he's going to climb a tree." The old housekeeper said worriedly: "Master Hou can't go up the tree." โ€

"Brother, you drag your father down."

"Okay."

Jiang Minjin hugged her grandfather who was walking around the trees, "You are angry, I will go up and drag my father down." โ€

"Bastard! You think I can't climb trees? The old man pushed Jiang Minjin away, Jiang Minjin took a step back neatly, "Then you ...... it"

The old man was so angry that his beard was straight, and the eight lambs raised the little eight lambs...... Can't you be filial and have some eyesight?

Jiang Erye, who was lying on the tree, shouted below: "Son, your grandfather won't go up the tree." โ€

"Oh." Jiang Minjin nodded to be taught, Jiang Luyao couldn't help it, and raised her voice: "Dad, you come down, don't be angry with grandfather." โ€

Second Master Jiang waved his arm to his daughter, and snorted coldly: "If he doesn't accompany me to the worm scripture, I won't come down, and he even said that I raise worms is crooked, hum, your grandfather is confused." โ€

"You have no conscience, I haven't asked you to accompany me in the vase of the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, how much is your broken book worth? My antique vase, from Ru kiln...... Shattered by your kid. โ€

"Grandfather...... You are angry. โ€

"You're a second girl?" Seeing Jiang Luyao nodding, the old man said resentfully: "You have to discipline your father well, if you let him go on like this, your dowry will be lost by him, and he actually picked up valuable and precious things and threw them, which made me angry." โ€

"Grandfather, my sister's dowry is in my mother's hands, and my father can't get it." Jiang Minjin felt that it was necessary to explain who was in the hands of the financial power of the second room, "So you don't have to worry about my sister not having a dowry, my sister is very profitable." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Jiang Luyao decisively supported Yongning Hou, "Grandfather, let my father calm down on the tree, and I will help you go back to the house." โ€

"Good ......"

Yongning Hou finally found a normal person in the second room, it's not easy, I haven't seen him for a few years, why is the second child getting more and more confused?

And raised a little jerk! It's sad.

"My father's temper is like this, and my brother, I don't expect it." Jiang Luyao whispered: "If they come to visit you often, the valuable antiques in your house will not escape." โ€

The first sentence is quite pleasant, but what do the latter words mean?

said that he paid more attention to antiques than to his son, or should he not see Jiang Erye again?

The anger on the old man's face gradually subsided, and he looked at the pink and delicate face of the second granddaughter seriously, this girl is also a short-term protector, no wonder Jiang Lao Er can stay in the house alive.

Compared with three years ago, Jiang Erye has lived a more nourishing life.

Yongning Hou only met Jiang Erye in a hurry during the New Year three years ago, and the second child was not conspicuous among his sons.

"What are they?" Yongning Hou noticed the string of stewards, "Made a mistake? โ€

"I've been greedy for money, and I've come to tell my grandfather."

Jiang Luyao found that Yongninghou was not a sick old man who was afraid of his wife and useless as rumored, and he was not willing to play tricks in front of Yongninghou, and said bluntly: "My granddaughter has something to say to you." โ€

"What's the matter?" Yongning Hou sat on the chair, "Say it." โ€

"My father dreamed of his biological mother last night, and he wanted to take me and my brother to visit my aunt's grave and pay respects."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Yongning Hou's face changed, and his eyes flashed with coldness, "Someone in the house mentioned the second child's biological mother?" โ€

Jiang Luyao was silent, Yongninghou looked at the old housekeeper, and after seeing him nodding, Yongninghou laughed self-deprecatingly: "They are all good sons raised by me." โ€

"As a son of man, my father should not forget his roots."

"Your Daddy ......"

Before Yongning Hou's words were finished, he heard someone outside reply: "The fourth master asked the fourth lady to suggest to the old lady that the second master be recorded as a son-in-law." โ€

Jiang Luyao's eyes widened, Jiang Luqi, what do you want?
