Bai Fusu remembered what was in his heart, but he didn't realize that he was in a trance.

Bai Shao is the first-class lady here, and she is the most attentive to her master's body. She pushed the door in with a plate, carefully arranged a cup of bird's nest porridge and a few side dishes on the tray, and said softly, "Girl, you can eat something." ”

Bai Fusu's eyes rolled and asked, "Bai Shao, what time is it now?" ”

Bai Shao replied, "It's about to be time." As she spoke, she picked up a delicate little silver spoon and added the snow-white linden honey to the porridge: "You have something on your mind, and the slave knows it." This bird's nest was brought by Mama Fang only by the lady, and it was said to be a tribute. ”

"This is the fresh vegetables that Zhuangzi sent today, and the slave maid specially told them not to add meat, for fear that the girl would have no appetite, so she only mixed the balsamic vinegar and sesame oil, and it tasted good. It was cucumber in sauce and spiced soy milk, and freshly steamed quiche. What do you eat? ”

Bai Fusu glanced lazily, casually picked up a spoon and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and just took a few chopsticks and vegetables. Bai Shao was about to withdraw, and Bai Fusu said: "You don't have to withdraw, you just eat." This bird's nest porridge is still piping hot, and there is no waste of things. Bai Shao thanked him and finished the meal.

Bai Shao was eating happily, only to hear Bai Fusu say quietly: "Bai Shao, girl, I just realized that I had thought about many things too simply. Now, I'm a little scared. ”

Bai Shao stuffed the quiche in her mouth, and said vaguely with a bulging mouth: "What are you afraid of?" The old man is so big, and you are the daughter of the eldest in this mansion, even the big shopkeepers who were rampant in the past, and now they are afraid of you. ”

A gust of evening breeze blew in through the window, causing the candles to flicker a few times, and dappled shadows flickered on the walls. Fusu Yuan was already quiet, and I only heard the little girls who were keeping vigil outside whispering about housework and the like, but they couldn't hear it clearly in the house.

Bai Fusu stared at the dancing candle flame and said quietly: "No. Your girl, I'm just a deep girl now. A lot of things out there are things that aren't clear. Also, you mentioned that the big shopkeepers weren't necessarily afraid of me, but now they were just a little more rigorous, so that I couldn't hold them down. ”

Today in the "Xiangcui Residence" on Xie Yuan Street, Wang Sumei's later words really shocked Tang Yi: It turns out that Aunt Luo comes once a month, sometimes to meet the business shopkeepers in the house; Even after seeing each other occasionally, he had to talk secretly with Kang Xu, the Xirong merchant who came to the door, for a while.

Since the chief butler Li Yi is Kang Xu's subordinate, wouldn't the Shilang Mansion have an unobstructed view in front of the Xirong merchants? Li Yi has a confidant named Shun'er, who is his adopted son, but Wang Sumei said that when she saw him, she called Kang Xu "uncle".

The most important thing is that the maid also said: I feel that the master has a clear heart about this.

Bai Fusu only felt as if there was an invisible net, tightly enveloping the Shilang Mansion. Everyone in the house, including himself, is the prey of the strange hand's secret snooping.

She shuddered.

In his previous life, he was only at ease to be a female celebrity in the courtyard of the deep house and curry favor with his stepmother. I never thought that behind this superficial honor and wealth, there were so many confusing things.

Does Daddy really know that?

That Wang Sumei is Luo Anran's eldest maid and often deals with them. She can't describe it, but she can't go wrong with her feelings. If Lord Bai knows, then at least six or seven times out of ten must be like this.

His father is a waiter of the Ministry of Industry of Donghua State, a member of the second grade, and the Ministry of Industry in charge is the organ that manages the engineering affairs of Donghua State. He is in charge of the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of ditch and weir dredging, and the mausoleum for 100 million. All civil and water conservancy projects, armaments, munitions, military utensils, etc., as well as government-run industries such as mining, metallurgy, and textiles, are all in charge of the civil and water conservancy projects of the Eastern China Kingdom, and are also in charge of a part of the financial currency and unified weights and measures.

Therefore, my father Bai Yunqi, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is a well-deserved pillar of Donghua.

When Bai Fusu thought about this, he suddenly felt a palpitation, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

In addition, Bai Fusu only felt angry at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he is even more suspicious: after his mother woke up, Mama Fang sent someone to report to her father. But when my father came to visit my mother, his expression clearly didn't have a favorite color, and he was very reluctant.

I just didn't clearly write the words "I'm very unhappy" on my face!

Even if the father is partial to the aunt, he won't spoil the concubine and kill his wife to such a point, right?

Speaking of that concubine, Bai Fusu remembered that in his previous life in a dream, Luo Anran entered the mansion with a son and a daughter, and the boy named Bai Jizu was two years younger than him. But now Aunt Luo, who has entered the house, has a son who is three years old, and she is not pregnant again until now.

The trajectory of life seems to have quietly changed silently.

Bai Peony has eaten all the cakes and vegetables and is drinking porridge in a soothing manner. This girl, because of this indecent eating, has been knocked with chopsticks by Mama Fang Li many times, but she can't change the habit of drinking soup when she was in her hometown, and she forgets it again if she is not careful.

Seeing the girl's eyes drift over, she suddenly realized, smiled embarrassedly, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said casually: "Girl, the slave thinks that you should be relaxed." No matter how bad it is, there is still a lady. It's that Mrs. doesn't care about things, and there is the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion. Now that Marquis Lan is your uncle, what's so terrible about us? ”

After speaking, Bai Shao drank the porridge in one bite, and sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being a blood swallow that can be used as a tribute, it is really delicious! I followed the eldest lady, and a little slave can drink this, but it is a great blessing.

Bai Fusu couldn't help but be very amused when he watched the little girl close her eyes and enjoy it, so she deliberately teased her: "After eating, just move the account book over." I can't do it alone, so I'll have to help me keep count by your side. ”

Bai Shaozheng's expression of enjoyment froze immediately, and she said with a sad face: "Now...... Right now? ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Bai Fusu ordered a few candles to light the house brightly. Her fingers kept fluttering on the abacus as she muttered words in her mouth. The maid Bai Peony was also busy, counting, grinding ink, and writing down everything the young lady said from time to time on paper.

Here's last month's ledger. A total of seventeen businesses and six Zhuangzi. All the above income and expenditure details are clearly listed and calculated, and then they are included in the treasury.

But I don't know what the eldest lady thought of again, so she had to move out and check and calculate again. Bai Shao endured drowsiness and stared at her eyes wide, and said in her heart: Look at this posture, even if the girl marries someone in the future, she must be a housekeeper.

Bai Fusu counted it again, and there was no difference in the slightest. She put down her abacus and sat down and groaned.

Bai Shao forcibly yawned and persuaded: "Good young lady, since you are done, let's rest, why bother so much?" The slave and maid are very good to see that this account book is clean, and there should be no problem. Would you like to bring you hot water? ”

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Bai Fusu sat up straight, his eyes shining: "You say what you just said, quickly!" ”

Bai Shao looked at her in a daze: "The slave maid just asked if you want hot water......

"It's not." Bai Fusu urged her: "The previous sentence. ”

Bai Shao thought for a moment: "That's it...... Said that this account book is very good, and the accounts are clean and clear. ”

Bai Fusu couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to say it anymore, I already know what's wrong." ”

As she spoke, she laughed and stood up: "It's really good to keep the clouds open and see the moon." But it was you, little girl, who reminded me. Hmph, these big shopkeepers actually fooled me with the girl as the ignorant backhouse woman. ”

Bai Shao was stunned and stammered, "Slave, slave didn't say anything?" What did the girl find, and how did they fool it? Slaves and maids are all confused by you! ”

Bai Fusu shook his head, pointed to the account book and said, "These account books are all fake. ”

She was angry and funny: "No matter how old the account room is, there will be traces of smearing and modification in the account book." People who have been doing accounts for many years, unless they are immortals, who doesn't have a wrong time? ”

Bai Shao came to his senses. She forgot to even fall asleep, and clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Yes, this account book is so clean, it is clearly another copy." Miss, you are so smart! ”

Bai Fusu sneered: "Tomorrow, you and I will follow the girl and I will go to the 'Yunrong' garment shop again, and I will meet the shopkeeper Li!" ”

At this time, Shopkeeper Li was busy dealing with a commanding little girl from the Lang Mansion.

This little girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has the posture of a deputy lady, her chin is raised and she points to some expensive clothes, and after she looks at them one by one, she let the shopkeeper Li personally hug the car, and then get into the carriage and leave.

Bai Shao happened to follow her girl around the corner and witnessed this scene with her own eyes. She recognized the girl and said to Bai Fusu: "Miss, that is the second lady's current personal maid, whose name is Chun'er." ”

It turned out that Luo Anran had given his most useful slave Wang Sumei to his own daughter, but he was sent away by Bai Fusu because of the excuse of ignoring his master. It was only then that he sent Chun'er, a second-class maid beside him, to come to his daughter's courtyard to make up for Wang Sumei's nest. The girl suddenly got the master's blue eyes and actually rose by one level, and the monthly silver also rose by two dollars, and she was very proud of the spring breeze these days.

Bai Fusu's suspicion suddenly rose. Looking at the humble and flattering appearance of Shopkeeper Li, she already had some bad guesses about it. She was wearing men's clothes today, shook her fan and walked over slowly, stood at the door and smiled faintly at Shopkeeper Yao: "Shopkeeper Li, what are you busy with?" ”

It has been a long time since Bai Fusu set the rules for monthly reporting on that day, and it has been a long time, but the shopkeeper Li really didn't expect the eldest lady to come to the door again. Looking at this expression and tone, he expected that this master must have seen Fang Cai's business.

He knew that this eldest girl was not easy to fool, so he hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is here." What do you always command in this hot day, even though it is said that the little ones are all obedient. Why did you come here in person? ”
