The bustling capital is calm and peaceful on the surface, but it is already turbulent. The contradiction between the small ancient mansion and the Sun Mansion began to enter the eyes of many people in such a fierce way, and because of the help of people with hearts, in just three days, it was almost known to everyone. What's more, the excerpt of a certain adult has been presented to the emperor's imperial case.

In the early dynasty, the emperor who was about thirty years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with a solemn and majestic face, and his voice was low and dangerous, "Lord Luo".

An adult with half-white hair, ruddy complexion, small squinted eyes, a chubby and short body, and a fuchsia official robe stepped forward tremblingly and knelt on the ground, "The minister is here." ”

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair threw out a notebook with a blank face, impartially, and smashed it on the face of Lord Luo, who was kneeling below, and slid to the ground.

The hall was silent, and the courtiers didn't even dare to breathe.

The emperor got up from the dragon chair, flicked his sleeves, and left the hall surrounded by guards and eunuchs amid the shouts of the eunuchs "retreating from the court" and the courtiers "sending off the emperor".

The courtiers retreated in twos and threes, and only Lord Luo, who was kneeling on the ground, and Murong Gong, the left-looking minister with a righteous face, remained in the main hall.

Murong Gong, who was in his fifties, walked over, bent down to pick up the folds on the ground, read it with a serious face, and kicked Lord Luo's buttocks, "Don't go and apologize to the emperor." ”

Master Luo quickly got up from the ground, snatched back the fold in Murong Gong's hand, and scolded angrily: "Old thing, wait for the old man to settle accounts with you when he is free, hum!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Murong Gong reminded from behind him: "If you don't go to see the emperor, where are you going?" ”

While Lord Luo's round body moved outward, he left a sentence, "Go back and pick up the skin of the unscrupulous son first."

After three or four days of calm, just when Qingshu was learning to manage accounts and keep accounts, while worrying about the economic situation of the ancient mansion, the Sun Mansion took action again.

Sun Renhuai and Sun Zhang came to the door again with gifts, along with Sun Rende's wife Song, Gu Yunfu and Gu Yunfu's wife Ma.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Cai Tieniu, who was guarding the door, did not open the door, but asked who was coming through the door.

When the name of his master on the financial report of the steward Sun Lai, Cai Tieniu lost his voice and ignored it.

On the side, Gu Yunfu, who was slightly blessed, holding his stomach full of red light, and wrapped his whole body in silk and satin, received a glance from Sun Renhuai for help, and felt that he was very face-saving, so he took a few steps forward, cleared his throat, and said loudly in a thick voice: "Which turtle grandson who is not long-eyed inside, dares to shut the eldest master out of the door, and still doesn't get out to greet him." ”

Cai Tieniu immediately heard who it was, moved to the corner door, gently pushed open a small crack, glanced out, and immediately hurried to deliver a letter to the ancient housekeeper without a squeak.

Gu Qiang was standing in the courtyard in front of the meeting room and discussing with Ding Jiabao about going to Zhuangzi tomorrow, when he heard that Sun Renhuai and his wife were coming together with Gu Yunfu and his wife, the corners of his forehead jumped with green tendons. He patted Cai Tieniu on the shoulder, "I'll go and ask Miss, you go back to guard the door, don't forget, without Miss's orders, even if the king of heaven and Laozi come, he won't open the door." ”

Cai Tieniu got the order and hurried back to guard the door.

Qing Shu wore a plain women's long skirt today, with a goose-yellow wide belt around her waist, plain embroidered shoes on her feet, her hair was simply braided with a long twisted braid in order to save trouble, and she had a small face without much flesh, and she was studying hard in the account room. And Xiaojuan sat next to Qingshu doing needlework.

Gu Qiang came in to report, "Miss, Sun Renhuai and his wife and the eldest master are here, just outside the gate, it seems that the person who came is not good." ”

Qing Shu looked up at him puzzled, "Big master? Which big man? ”

Gu Qiang said: "It's the master's brother, the eldest uncle of the young lady." ”

Daddy's brother? Qing Shu quickly searched in his mind, and immediately sank his face, "Sun Ren has a good means and actually invited him here." She put down the brush in her hand, got up, and greeted the bookkeeper behind the case: "Sir, you rest for a while, and I will deal with the chores in the house." ”

The bookkeeper hurriedly got up, "Miss, please." "He has been trembling in the past few days, and he is afraid that this young lady will either lose her temper or be willful, and will not let him have a good time.

Qing Shu first sent Xiaojuan to inform Su's mother, and then while walking out, he instructed Gu Qiang, "Inform Cai Tieniu, no matter what trouble he makes outside, he must open the door after two quarters of an hour, and open the corner door, only let the master enter, and the subordinates can only stay outside, they love to enter or not." ”

Gu Qiang: "Yes." ”

Qing Shu, "Let everyone be mental, be smart, and don't give the eldest master a chance to embarrass you." If the eldest lord makes trouble, you can't come forward, I'll come. Besides, if there are any cheap porcelains in the house, you can ask someone to move them to the living room to place them, the more the better. What is the price, you have a number in your heart, and if it is beaten or broken, it is easy to settle accounts. ”

As soon as he heard the word accounting, Gu Qiang's eyes couldn't help but light up, but when he thought of something, his eyes darkened, "The eldest master will only take it back, and it will never be possible to spit out half of it." ”

Qing Shu sighed, "I know it in my heart, you can arrange it!" ”

As soon as Gu Qiang retreated, Xiao Juan, who was on errands, hurriedly greeted Qing Shu, "Miss, I have already notified Mother Su, and Mother Su said that after arranging the courtyard of the lady and the young master, she will come over immediately." ”

Qingshu nodded.

At this time, Ding Jiabao also came, "Miss, there are five or six more suspicious people outside, do you want to drive them away?" ”

Qing Shu waved his hand, "Don't, let them wander." ”

After sending Ding Jiabao back, Qingshu returned to his yard, untied the braids, and asked Xiaojuan to comb her daughter's hair in a simple bun, and then went to the living room slowly, and then watched Gu Qiang command people to put more than a dozen porcelains of different sizes in the hall that were easy to be scratched, waiting for someone to pay for these porcelain.

When the time came, Gu Renhuai and others, who were locked out of the gate, were invited to the living room by Gu Qiang and Su's mother.

Qing Shu smiled lightly, Master Sun, Mrs. Sun, uncle, aunt and aunt called people one by one. When she saw Song, because she didn't know her, she only called Mrs., and then invited five people to sit down, and sat in the master's position, that is, she didn't call the maid to serve tea, nor did she speak, just lowered her eyes and was silent.

The atmosphere is a little weird, the host doesn't speak, and the guests are even more difficult to speak.

Sun Renhuai looked at Gu Yunfu, the old man.

Gu Yunfu looked Gu Qingshu up and down unceremoniously for a moment, and then asked with a rough voice and an unhappy face, "What about your mother!" How is she in charge? How do you raise your children? One by one, there are no rules at all? Then he slapped the table, "Come on, serve tea." ”
