Before that, he received the order to be promoted to the knighthood, and then there was the big case that caused a sensation in the capital, so it was not until another three or four days later that Xu Liang and Xu Xun's father and son began to plan to move. After all, now that the Qiqi of Xu Sheng, the pioneer Xing'anbo, has passed, and the imperial court has canonized Xu Liang's Xing'anbo, there is no reason to let this Xing'anbo Mansion be empty again, even Sun Bin has already made it clear when he passed the decree before. So yesterday evening, someone sent a letter to the past, early this morning, the Xu family father and son, who had just lived in Fengcheng Hutong for less than two months, loaded their things into the car again and started to move in a low-key manner.

Xu Liang was originally a little worried about the original subordinates of Xing'an Bofu, but unexpectedly, before the car was sent out, a steward brought more than a dozen subordinates to help. When the things and people arrived at the Xing'an Bo Mansion together, there were more than a dozen people in the carriage saddle before and after the horse, which was very different from the appearance of those wealthy slaves who ignored it when they went to the sacrifice before. Not only that, Xu Xun didn't ask a word, but the account manager took the initiative to come to see him, and politely moved the account books of the three boxes, saying that he respectfully asked for an inventory.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, even if there are twenty or thirty people he brought this time, but among them are the guards of the Fu Rong faction, the girl and cook lady sent by the Hou Mansion of Shouning, the little guy sent by Wang Shikun, even if you add the Jin Liu couple, there are only four in total, of course Xu Xun will not put on a shelf that is incompatible with oil and salt at this kind of moment, he only stepped forward and bent down to open the lids of a few boxes, glanced at the yellowed paper and obviously had some years of accumulation of accounts, and straightened up and clapped his hands.

"Let's move them all down, I don't have time to look at these things."

Xu Kun, who was bowing his head in the tent, was suddenly overjoyed, and Liu An, the housekeeper who led him up, was also relieved. However, Xu Xun's next words made the strings that had just been relaxed suddenly tense again.

"There are only three things I want to see. First, the title deed; secondly, the articles of the book and the money on the books; Third, a booklet of the slave's family. As for these old accounts that have accumulated over the years, look at them and not, do you think I can't transfer the veterans of the accounts? Xu Xun's face sank as he spoke, and when he saw that the two of them really didn't even dare to raise their heads, he returned to his original position and sat down, "Don't forget, who did the funeral of my eldest uncle." ”

It's the eldest grandson Xu Guangzuo! What this master means is that if he really disobeys him, he will have a big deal to move people from the Dingguo Mansion to investigate!

The two glanced at each other, and the housekeeper Liu An hurriedly bowed down and responded: "It's all a little confused for a while, and I should have given the last two booklets to the master and the young master." Only the title deed has always been kept by Aunt Dai, after all, the small one is a person from the outer courtyard, and it is not good to go to the inner courtyard to disturb the aunt and grandmother who are serving filial piety......"

"I see, I'll just show me the last two booklets."

Xu Xun saw that Liu An and Xu Kun seemed to be surprised, and stayed for a while before retreating, and after a while, several small servants came to carry these heavy ledgers away, and then a mother with a smile on her face came in and said: "Young master, the master has already gone to the main room, I'm afraid that you don't know the way, let the little one lead you in." ”

After thinking for a while, it was impossible for those two people to smooth out the booklet of the utensils, nor to sort out the booklet of personnel, and they couldn't get anything to deal with themselves, so of course Xu Xun was not happy to stay in this place for a long time, so he nodded and got up and went out. After walking along the bluestone path with the mother for a while, he asked, "Where does Aunt Dai live now?" ”

Since the imperial court has sealed Xu Liangxing Anbo, unlike Aunt Dai, who once cried and grabbed the ground, and Xu Yi, who gritted his teeth, the subordinates of the Bofu are the fastest to adjust their mentality. After all, whoever is given to the current person is the one who is responsible, and no matter who becomes the master of the Bofu, it is impossible to leave the person. Unless it was someone who offended Xu's father and son at the door at that time, or someone who was too close to Xu Yi in person resigned, the top ten ** people actually stayed. At this time, as soon as the mother heard about Aunt Dai, she immediately became energetic.

"Young master, since the old man was seriously ill, Aunt Dai has been serving in the old man's room and has never returned to her yard. It wasn't until last night that Steward Liu sent someone to urge her, and she moved back, but she also brought a lot of things from the old man's room. In the small courtyard, there are three aunts and grandmothers left by the first master, and four are through the room. ”

"I see."

Seeing that Xu Xun heard that Aunt Dai had swept away a lot of things in the main room, and she didn't care at all, the mother couldn't help but be a little unhappy, but she still added cautiously: "Young master, to put it mildly, now the main room is so smooth that there is almost no vase left, which is too unusual." ”

"Aunt Dai is the person of the previous eldest uncle, so I don't need to take out these small things in the future."

Xu Xun saw that the mother didn't dare to say anything when she heard this, and she didn't know what the other party was thinking, but she didn't speak again. When he arrived at the seven main rooms, the mother stayed outside, and when he entered the room, he swept away the bright room, which had nothing but tables, chairs, and stools, and first went to the east room to glance at it, and then turned back to the west room. Sure enough, at least the beds in the western room have been covered with mattresses and brocade quilts, and ink silk tents have been hung, but they still can't hide the empty feeling.

"Daddy."

"She's really good at it." Xu Liang in the center of the room said this, but there was not much anger and anger on his face, and when he saw Xu Xun coming in, he stepped forward and said, "I just thought about it, since she took those things, she took them, and there are some dead things on both sides and verticals." I heard that she doesn't have a daughter, she stays if she wants to, and if she wants to go to her daughter, she will go to her daughter. As for the other concubines, it was the same, and they were dismissed with money. ”

"Dad is really magnanimous." Xu Xun knew that Xu Liang's surname would definitely not embarrass these women, so he smiled at the moment, "My father and I thought of going together." But don't say it too early, this Earl's Mansion looks bright, but I don't think there is much money left on the books, and we have to use our own money to dismiss them, so I won't do that kind of loss-making thing. As for that Aunt Dai, it doesn't matter if she took these things, but those house deeds and title deeds don't allow her to take them to fill her pockets. ”

"Yes...... It's just that don't rush too much, otherwise there will be a lawsuit just after the attack......"

"Dad, you can rest assured. Of course, I know that soft knives can kill people. ”

Xu Xun stepped forward to help Xu Liang out of the west room, and sat down in the Ming room, and then went out again, just when he saw Zhu Ying, the girl sent by the Hou Mansion of Shouning, coming out of the wing, he stopped people. After getting along for a while, he felt that this girl was the most shrewd and stable among the eight people, and her scheming eyes were not bad, so he directly commanded at this time: "You lead them to arrange a few things in this house, you don't need to put them all out, just pick a few similar things." From now on, the master lives in this back hall, and I live in the courtyard next door, and you are in charge of the affairs of these two courtyards. ”

When Zhu Ying heard that she was actually asked to pick her head, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurriedly agreed, and after getting up, she remembered the scene when she had just gone to the kitchen, and couldn't help but ask again: "The young master, where ......is the kitchen?"

"In the kitchen, let Sister-in-law Jin Liu and Sister-in-law Lin who came with you take care of things together, and the rest, no matter what they did before, they will do it for the time being, and we will talk about it later."

In Xu Xun's view, in the case of the account room will not be able to figure out for a while, the kitchen is the most important place to really pay attention to, this year the most afraid is that someone will do something in the diet, and when the time comes, the loss will not be found out for a while and a half, then it will be unlucky. When Zhu Ying agreed to go down to pass the word, Xu Xun thought about it, then turned back into the room and said to Xu Liang: "Dad, it doesn't matter if there are other things in the outer courtyard, I plan to let Jin Liu go to the shopping, let Tao Hong take care of the study, and let Ah Baozhuan go out with me, what do you think?" ”

"Look at these things, don't look at the fact that I was a serious family back then, these things are almost all black." Xu Liang smiled bitterly and slapped his shoulders again, "I am still young among the elders of the court at this age, and it is estimated that not only will you be promoted, but my office will be sent down in a few days, even if it is just to go to the governor's mansion to be a little leader, but the early dynasty will not be able to escape, and the family must settle down as soon as possible." Otherwise, if you are busy, I will leave again, and this house will be turned upside down. ”

Xu Xun then remembered that Xungui is different from his relatives, unless he has been ill for decades like the current Dingguo Gong, he has a serious official position in addition to his title. So, he originally wanted to take care of the family affairs slowly, and he said in his heart: "In this case, Dad, I will urge the booklet I want, and Aunt Dai's affairs must be cut through the mess quickly, and it cannot be delayed." ”

As soon as Xu Xun went out, he saw that the mother was still probing her brain at the gate of the yard, so he nodded to her and said, "You lead the way and go to the tent." ”

The mother tried her best to show her face in front of the new owner, and she was naturally willing to hear the words. This time on the road, she didn't dare to chew her tongue indiscriminately, she only picked up the personnel inside and outside the house, and told Xu Xun about it roughly. Xu Xun listened to it and secretly wrote it down, and at the end of the day, he asked, "What's your surname?" ”

"Back to the young master's words, the little one's surname is Cui."

"Oh, it's Mother Cui."

Seeing that the mother was flattered and didn't dare to say anything, Xu Xun didn't say anything more. As soon as he got out of the second door, he saw that the people who had seen him ran away, thinking that most of them were going to report the news. He didn't bother to stop people, so he followed Cui's mother to the front of the tent, listening to the chaos of people inside, he stood and didn't go in, sure enough, but after a while, Liu An and Xu Kun came out together, each holding a few booklets in their hands, it seems that the paper is yellow, it is something that has been around for some years.

took it and flipped through it, and saw that the book of the utensils was nothing more than some calligraphy, paintings, antique vases, etc., so he casually gave it to Cui's mother, and instructed: "Go back and Zhu Ying, check all the things in the house together, and make a register of what is missing." ”

After speaking, he ignored Cui's mother, who was ecstatic for a while, and lowered his head again and began to flip through the roster of servants. However, he didn't look at the name of the individual and their respective positions, but only turned the first and last pages, roughly calculated the total number of people used in the house, and also threw the roster to Cui's mother, but this time he didn't give any orders. It wasn't until he opened the last account and saw that the last page was impressively recorded with a balance of three hundred and thirty-two taels, and he smiled.

At this moment, suddenly a person rushed out as if flying, and shouted loudly: "Oh no, Aunt Dai has taken poison!" Aunt Dai took poison! ”
