Liu Lian picked up the account book on the table, walked to Xu Moqing unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is our family's internal account for this month, do you want to take a look?" ”

Liu Lian had long expected such a day, but this day came a little earlier than he thought. Ever since he took over the mission of the housekeeper in the house, he knew that the people of the Taoyao Pavilion would not be arrested. This is only the prelude to this "battle", and the main event is still to come!

Xu Moqing will never take over Liu Lian's account book, if he does, it will be equivalent to telling the whole government that he Xu Moqing intends to participate in housekeeping. He couldn't let them fortify Yan Guiwan so early. But Liu Lian's behavior is tantamount to provocation, and he is too contemptuous of Xu Moqing's identity as a "prince".

"What is this doing, little uncle? Which account book do I want to read as a junior? Xu Moqing pretended not to know, and said: "So the little uncle is busy painting officials to share their worries?" ”

The face of calligraphy and painting was already embarrassed, and when he saw Xu Moqing asking himself, he hurriedly stood up and bowed and replied: "Your Highness, the internal affairs of the Yan family should have been managed by the master of the Yan family, and the lower officials have been fortunate to manage it for a few years. ”

Liu Lian glanced at the calligraphy and painting, and said with a proud smile: "Painting my sister's mouth is like smearing honey, what kind of master and servant, aren't we all Yan family?" I'm just a stupid and dull Lang Qing, begging for skills to learn under my sister to pass the boring time. ”

The body of the calligraphy and painting did not straighten up, but moved to Liu Lian, and said with embarrassment: "Liu Fulang, you are too embarrassed to say this. ”

Xu Moqing raised his hand and persuaded him: "Let's go, let's go." Uncle and calligraphy and painting should not be so polite anymore. Since you are all busy, I can't bother anymore, and I've drunk the tea, so I'll go back to Taoyao Pavilion. ”

Liu Lianzhi blocked Xu Moqing's way, "Hey, Your Highness, you finally came to sit in our Zhumei Garden, how can you come and leave." How can I put this? Lan'er, Lan'er......"

Liu Lian forced Xu Moqing back to the top, and asked Yan Guilan to sit down beside him.

"Lan'er, accompany your late brother-in-law to drink tea and talk, we are about to figure it out here."

Yan Guilan jumped to Xu Moqing's side, poured tea and water for him with her own hands, and talked to him about boundless words. It seems that this Yan Guilan often comes to Zhumei Garden, she is very familiar with this Liu Lian, when did Gan Tangxuan start to get close to Zhumei Garden?

"Yes, my little uncle should be busy, don't think about me, I have my own sister by my side."

Liu Lian nodded and returned to the table, and the calligraphy and painting also walked back, and several accounting gentlemen began to make calculations around the two.

"Can the money from the sale of crops a few days ago be credited to the account?" Liu Lian asked about calligraphy and painting seriously.

The calligraphy and painting ice god condensed and said: "According to the will of the master's mother, half of it is put into the money bank outside to eat interest, and half is put into the treasury, that is, it is flushed." She pointed to the two pages of accounts and said, "Liu Fulang, please look, they are all marked here." ”

Liu Lian looked down at the fingers of calligraphy and painting, turned two more pages, as if he had found something, and suddenly asked, "Why did our family give so many gifts this month?" ”

"Yes. The Shen family's mother's birthday this month, our family has to celebrate her birthday every year, but unfortunately there is an old man in his family who died this month, so it was not done, for fear of colliding with the ancestors again. But our congratulatory gift can't be shortened, but the specifications are not as big as in previous years. ”

"In previous years, you sent more than that?"

"It's two or three percent more than that."

"What about this account? What's going on with this account? ”

"This is General Zhu Xinran's daughter, a congratulatory gift from our family."

Liu Lian's body shook slightly, his adoptive father, Zhu Xiran, was not very harmonious with his mother's family, and he hadn't moved around much over the years, and he rarely heard his father mention the Zhu family. It turns out that the Yan family still has dealings with the Zhu family? It seems that he is not meticulous enough.

The remaining accounts, Liu Lian and Calligraphy and Painting have all checked each other in turn. The calligraphy and painting pinched his fingers and counted the days, and asked: "Liu Fulang, we have to prepare this month's monthly silver as soon as possible, and it will be distributed in a few days." ”

As he spoke, he changed another account book, and spread out the roster for Liu Lian to look at, "Look at this again, if there is nothing changed, I will prepare silver according to this." ”

Liu Lian looked at it carefully, it turned out that there were so many silver taels in the monthly expenditure of a house? Or is it just about people? Their Liu family is scarce, but they don't have these expenses, and they don't have these troubles.

"Okay, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, so let's go ahead and prepare."

Liu Lian originally wanted to show in front of Xu Moqing that he had seen the world and was good at housekeeping, and then he also wanted to create a frank and unrestrained image of himself, so that Xu Moqing could relax his vigilance. But the successive "revelations" of calligraphy and painting still surprised him somewhat. The housekeeping of the Yan family is not so easy to pick up.

The calligraphy and painting also asked: Liu Fulang, the most important thing next month is the sacrifice day of the old master mother and the old master, and we need to arrange it as soon as possible. Last year...... Because the two servants had moved the wrong sacrifice, the mistress was furious and struck them with thirty boards each. ”

Liu Lian's body shook again, and Xu Moqing, who was pretending to be indifferent on the side, also "chuckled" in his heart.

"In previous years, all the sacrifices were to ask the master mother and the late young master?"

"Exactly."

"It just so happens that His Highness is here today, why don't you bother Your Highness to do it with us in this matter?"

Liu Lian is trying to drag Xu Moqing into the water? Everyone has a share if it is handled properly, if it is not done well, Xu Moqing will be the backing?

Qiusheng reacted smartly, raised his head when he landed, and rebuked: "Bold! How can Your Highness deign to do such a tedious matter! Everything is up to you to do, just present the results to His Highness for your attention! ”

"Autumn birth." Xu Moqing pretended to stop.

"Yes, what Qiu Guan'er taught me is that I didn't think it through." Liu Lian stood up in a panic.

Xu Moqing was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Uncle Xiao is busy first, and I am also tired, this time I should really go." ”

Everyone stood up to see off Xu Moqing, and when he left Zhumei Garden, everyone sat down again. Liu Lian was scolded by Xu Moqing's big official, and everyone saw it in their eyes. The calligraphy and painting lowered his head, for fear that Liu Lian would blame himself again. Yan Guilan saw that Liu Lian's face was not good, and he didn't linger, and hurriedly said goodbye and left Zhumei Garden.

Liu Lian calmed down for a while, adjusted his emotions, and asked shamelessly: "Sister Painting, let's talk about it, what else do we need to prepare for as soon as possible?" ”

"This ...... It's getting colder and colder, and our winter coats haven't been made this year, so are we going to be free this year? ”

"Is it going to be done by everyone in the house?"

"In previous years, the whole government had to do it according to the seniority."

"Where do you find the tailor?"

"There are a few regular tailor shops that make clothes for our family, but the price is negotiated in batches."

"Is this a big expense?"

"Can't say it's small."

Liu Lian picked up the account book and flipped it up, and several accounting gentlemen also looked at him, and the abacus in his hand was fixed there.

"So there is no surplus on our housekeeping books?" Liu Lian said worriedly.

The calligraphy and painting sighed and didn't dare to take it, and the pear blossom on the side suddenly said: "I haven't heard of such a tight bag in previous years, but this year there have been two big happy events in the house one after another, and it must have cost a lot on this." ”

Liluo pushed the pear blossom outside and said, "Go down to the room and see what pastries are brought over." ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, Liu Lian obviously felt that he was complaining to him, the Yan family spent a lot of money to marry him back, and the dowry was too much. But if the Yan family didn't give such a high bride price, he Liu Lian would not marry into the Yan Mansion.

The problem in front of him now is that such a large mansion is not easy to manage, and he underestimated the position of housekeeper before. It was he who jumped into this fire pit by himself, and now it is impossible to retreat, not to mention that if he doesn't gnaw this hard bone down, the previous plans will not be able to be carried out.

Zhumei Garden was still messing around, and Xu Moqing also returned to Taoyao Pavilion. As soon as he sat down in the inner room, he heard a noise in the courtyard, and it turned out to be the Nine Orioles returning from outside.

"Call in the spirit officials and the Ying officials." Xu Moqing commanded.

Qiusheng rushed out with an arrow step, startling both Xu Moqing and Tong Sheng. Xu Moqing saw the clue and asked Xiang Tongsheng, "This is ...... When? ”

Tong Sheng shook his head and said shyly: "I don't know if it's small, and Qiusheng won't admit it." ”

"Hey, let them be. If they can really give birth to a marriage, it can be regarded as the creation of the two of them. ”

Oh, Jiu Ling and Jiu Ying came to Xu Moqing together.

"Yingguan'er went to Zhuangzi to inspect?"

Jiuying bowed and crossed his hands and said, "Yes, Master Lang." ”

"Are you alright?"

"Now in the winter, the fields are idle. Many tenant farmers took the opportunity to rest and did not find anything in trouble. ”

After hearing this, Xu Moqing told the two of them what he heard in Zhumei Garden, "What do you two think they sell in their gourd?" ”

Qiusheng hurriedly said: "That Zhumei Yuan is clearly seizing power!" First get the right to govern the house in the house, and then get involved in the outside family property. My aunt's child will land next year, which is planning for the future! ”

Jiu Ling disagreed, and said: "With what we know about the master mother over the years, she is not a person who can be 'controlled' so easily, and calligraphy and painting have been by her side for so many years, how can she give up the right to govern the family so easily to a new husband?" ”

"Otherwise, Nine Spirits." Jiuying said: "We can all see that the master's mother is concerned with the Yan family, what is the difference between the master and the late young master, no matter who takes the lead, it is the glory of the Yan family, the master mother may not be treated differently, maybe it is the same?" ”

"I didn't expect this, Jiuying's meaning is that the master mother may support Lord Yun's attack?" Jiu Ling asked.

"Where do I dare to guess, I just dare to speak my mind intuitively." Jiuying glanced at Xu Moqing timidly, "After all, there is a child over there in Zhumei Garden, although he was born in the same generation as the late young master, he is also the master of the Yan family." There is a saying that does not say ......"

Everyone's eyes focused on Jiuying, Jiuying gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves!" ”
