Chapter 27: Dismount 1

Amber had to suppress her anxiety and look at the juggling trick. The head of the play is now playing the scene of the snake beckoner using a net to trap the snake silently, and the traps that others look at are all in the visual blind corner of the snake.

So the snake looked around, did not perceive the danger, complacently out of the cave, who had thought that the snake beckoner who was lying in ambush had already been prepared, and he found it right at once. The snake has no way to escape, there is nowhere to escape, and it has become a turtle in an urn.

The surrounding crowd applauded and rewarded the copper plate one after another. Yan Minglan waited until the rewarder came closer, and then took out the broken silver. Amber, on the other hand, widened her eyes in surprise.

At this moment, she finally knew Yan Minglan's intentions.

"Miss!"

Amber's eyes lit up with excitement, and Yan Minglan smiled slightly when she saw this.

The two tacitly agreed, and Amber also let go of the subsequent itinerary and was no longer worried. It was all because of this juggling show that all the doubts in her heart were solved.

Aunt Liu didn't realize that she had become a person in the suit, and when she put down the pen in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief. The ledger on the table was spread out, and many new ink notes were engraved on it.

She blew slowly, and her eyes were full of joy that she had been done. Many subtle details on this ledger have been manipulated, and the traps are buckled one after another, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Aunt Zhang hurried over and asked Aunt Liu how she was doing. Aunt Liu pushed the ledger over, and the contempt on her face could not be hidden.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhang smiled dryly, at a loss: "You tell me directly, knowing that I don't know anything about the account books, and you embarrass me."

Aunt Liu smiled coldly in her heart, she didn't like this Aunt Zhang obviously didn't understand anything, but she always liked to be self-righteous. Now that she is embarrassed, she breathes a sigh of depression.

"It's because I'm not thoughtful, if you have any doubts, I'll tell you one by one."

She pretended to be annoyed on her face and took the opportunity to take the ledger back into her hands.

Aunt Zhang is quite unpleasant, and it is difficult to hold it in her heart. I had to reluctantly ask Aunt Liu if she was going to wait for a while, and whether the hands and feet in this account book were foolproof.

Aunt Liu said, "After you wait for Yan Minglan to come back, you will come and inform me." You'll soon find out what happened next. ”

She was reluctant to reveal the detailed plan, flipped through the account book, and was at ease: "As for the hands and feet in this account book, as long as Yan Minglan does not have an excellent memory, she can remember such a thick account...... I can assure you, there will be no problems. ”

You must know that this Yanfu account book has recorded the new accounts and old accounts of the past two years, the family is big, and there are more natural expenditure items. Aunt Liu didn't believe that Yan Minglan, who had been in charge of the family for a short time, could see through one or two of them.

Aunt Zhang slapped her knees, her face was overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to confront Yan Minglan head-on. It's a pity that it's not a good time yet, and Aunt Liu won't agree to act rashly.

So, the two of them discussed that they would act in the evening, preferably in front of everyone in the mansion. In that way, the speed of spreading the news will be faster and the scope will be wider, and if Yan Minglan can't think of a countermeasure at that time, he is afraid that the news will spread in the capital the next day, and he will no longer have the confidence to gain a firm foothold.

The daughter-in-law is not in charge of the house, and the project has serious losses, so she can't afford to bear such a heavy responsibility. At that time, the second and third rooms will plunder the rights in the name of assistance, and it is understandable, and no one dares to say anything.

“…… Even the emperor will lose trust in Yan Minglan, and everything will be much easier in the future. ”

After Aunt Liu said that, Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up.

They were gearing up for the night.

In the evening, Yan Minglan finally ended the day's trip and returned to Yanfu with amber. Both of them had unfading pleasure on their faces, as if they were unaware of all the dark tides.

So, the maid who came here to report the news told everything she had observed, and Aunt Liu was even more convinced that the plan was still hidden and did not show any flaws.

Aunt Zhang came in a hurry during the period to discuss Yan Minglan's return. Aunt Liu told Aunt Zhang not to be impatient, and when the plan begins, she will send someone to inform her.

And Yan Minglan, who returned to the big room here, knew it as soon as she entered the inner room. Although the interior layout was still the same, she instantly noticed that someone had secretly broken in.

"Miss, look at the powder on the ground."

Amber also noticed the vision, and whispered to the ground at the latch.

It turned out that Yan Minglan had ordered Amber to sprinkle sporadic powder on the position of the gate when she went out, and the hidden place in the corner was very inconspicuous. As long as someone breaks into the big house, it will leave scratches on it.

Aunt Zhang has always been rough, and she is panicked and will not observe carefully. Just look at the rush of her to run away with the ledger, where can she take care of the clues behind the door?

"It seems that the aunt of the two rooms can't even hold back for a moment."

Yan Minglan went up and opened the drawer, only to see that the account book was missing. If I hadn't gotten the news in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized something was wrong until the end of the month.

She smiled coldly and said, "I can't hold my breath so much, but I can imagine that I have suffocated them in recent days, and I want to turn over with all my strength."

Amber couldn't stop thinking about it, it could be seen that Yan Minglan was still at ease, so she knew all this in her heart and considered it into the scope of response.

Just thinking about it made Amber feel relieved.

"Miss, if you have any orders, you can let me go."

"Don't say it, there's really something to do......"

Yan Minglan didn't take off her men's clothes, shook her folding fan, and smiled gracefully. Amber straightened up when she heard this, thinking that it was to deal with what needed to be done in the plan, and she didn't dare to be careless.

She possessed the past, ignoring the banter in Yan Minglan's eyes.

"I want you to make something to eat."

Amber's eyes widened, a little stunned. Yan Minglan couldn't help but smile when she saw this, and nodded her head: "After walking outside all day, your young lady is already hungry, so don't go quickly."

Amber then realized that she had been teased, stomped her foot, and reluctantly walked to the kitchen.

Yan Minglan blinked innocently and stretched her waist. The people of the metropolis regard food as the sky, and if they are not full, where will they have the strength to work? Thinking that there was likely to be a tough battle to be fought tonight, a cold color appeared on her face.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Yan Minglan couldn't wait to see it, and when the two aunts of Zhang and Liu were shocked that everything was a trap, all kinds of complicated moods changed.

When the stomach was full and late at night, the big house finally waited for the first silent gunsmoke dispute to sound. It was Lan'er who came to invite Yan Minglan, with deep concern on her face.

Yan Minglan listened to the girl mentioned by Amber, and she had a good impression of Lan'er's disappointment.

Lan'er didn't know that Dafang had a way to deal with it, and she was worried in her heart, but she couldn't bear it in front of many ears and eyes.

She pretended to be indifferent and said, "Miss Yan, Aunt Zhang is confused about the amount of expenses this month, and I ask you to go there in person and compare the numbers in the account book."

Lan'er deliberately accented the word "ledger", hoping that Yan Minglan would find out that this item had been stolen and beware of fraud.

Yan Minglan understood Lan'er's good intentions and smiled slightly. It's hard for this girl to be in danger and not forget to keep the big house in mind, and if it is possible in the future, it is also good to transfer back to serve by her side.

"In that case, I'll go over with you to have a look."

Yan Minglan gave Amber a look, and Amber understood and hurried back to the inner room. But after a while, he walked out with a wooden carved wisp box in his hand.

"Miss, it's okay."

"Ledger with you?"

"Well, it's all in the box."

Yan Minglan and Amber went back and forth, and the words were mysterious. This made the maids and maids in the second room look at each other, and the informed capital account book is not in the hands of the second room? When is there still a copy here?

For a while, the maid couldn't make up her mind, some thought that Yan Minglan was tricky, and some thought that the plan was exposed. When the news reached Aunt Zhang's ears, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her seat.

"That's not right, the account book is indeed still on Aunt Liu's side, why, why does that dead girl still have one in her hand?"

Aunt Zhang, who thought everything was going well, suddenly panicked. Hurriedly called someone to report the news to Aunt Liu, so that she could make a plan to deal with it as soon as possible.

Aunt Liu got the news, but she didn't mess up like Aunt Zhang. I pondered for a while, and then thought about something else in my heart.

There has always been only one housekeeper account book in Yanfu, which is unique. At the moment, there is absolutely no mistake with this book in her hand, and the Yanfu engraved seal on the cover is still there. And Yan Minglan kept saying that there was an account book, but no one could spy on the truth or two in a box, which was obviously a trick and wanted the two of them to mess with themselves.

The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the more she was like this. instructed the maid to bring this opinion back to Aunt Zhang, and told her to play well and not be affected.

"I was there, about a quarter of an hour's work. At this quarter of an hour, I hope your aunt will hold on well and don't show flaws. ”

Aunt Liu was quite shocked, and provoked the maid to be respectful again and again.

Aunt Zhang's side responded, like taking a reassuring pill and calming her mind.

After a trip back and forth, Lan'er led Yan Minglan to arrive.

"Minglan girl, you've got it."

Aunt Zhang greeted her cordially, wanting to touch Yan Minglan's arm, but Yan Minglan was not perceptible and turned slightly sideways and dodged.

"Aunt Zhang, I heard that you are not satisfied with the account book of the big house, so I just came here."

Yan Minglan was neither hot nor cold, standing in place without squinting.

Aunt Zhang hated it so much that she secretly said that this dead girl was becoming more and more arrogant.

"Minglan girl's words have wronged me, if I hadn't sent my subordinates to buy things today, I'm afraid my aunt and I wouldn't know that half of this month's expenses have been deducted."

Aunt Zhang pretended to wipe her tears, as if she was really the victim who was in a sea of suffering, which made Yan Minglan sneer.

It turns out that this account book trick is waiting for her here, and it is really a good calculation.

Yan Minglan had a plan, and her eyes swept the box in Amber's hand, and the edge suddenly appeared. Now is not the time to fight back, the protagonist and supporting roles of a play have not fully appeared, and now the hole cards are not able to achieve the expected effect.

"Oh? If I am not wrong about the use of the second room, there are ten taels of silver added up to seven, seven and eighty-eight, and there is enough for Aunt Zhang to squander and have a surplus. In the end, there was less crying? ”

You must know that two taels of silver are enough for a family, and ordinary people can live for a month. The sum of the two rooms is only a few dozen people, and the maidservant's monthly salary is only broken silver, and the total will not exceed five taels. The remaining five taels are all used by Aunt Zhang alone, which can be said to be very extravagant.

Although Yan Minglan said that she did not want to see the second and third rooms, she was still fair in this regard. Who knew that he had good intentions, but no one appreciated it, and now he is still making a big fuss about it.
