Tang Meihua and Zhen Yue were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but be a little anxious.

It's hard to say how much silver is needed to repair the house, and if this cheap hoof is allowed to take advantage of it, won't they just have to watch?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yue pretended to be unintentional and said: "It's just that the roof is rotten, and fifty taels of silver is enough to hire someone to repair it." ”

"Not only is the roof rotten, but all the beams of the Lotus Pavilion are damp and moldy, maybe I can be stoned to death in the future in the future, and it will cost at least five hundred taels of silver to renovate inside and out."

When Zhen Chutian said this, his eyes were pitiful and red: "If my sister thinks that I shouldn't waste this silver, then I will live with Pei'er." ”

She knew that the mother and daughter were going to be in pain, and it was estimated that the original owner had not spent so much money since she was a child.

Zhen Yuanshan frowned when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about?" You are the daughter of a dignified family, how can you live with Ya? You can use as much silver as you want to repair it, and there is no shortage of your silver in the house. ”

Before he finished speaking, the faces of Tang Meihua's mother and daughter completely changed.

Zhen Chutian was as happy as a flower, and deliberately turned his head to look at them: "Then the daughter will take a thousand taels from it, not only to repair, but also to use silver for tables, chairs and benches, what does my father think?"

"One thousand taels?!" Tang Meihua exclaimed in surprise and almost fell off the stool.

Zhen Chutian said casually: "Does Mother feel that it is too little?" Also, the set of porcelain and gold teacups in your house is only two hundred taels, and these silver are used to buy my yard, which is indeed too little. ”

Not to mention a thousand taels, I'm afraid that in Tang Meihua's eyes, a hundred taels of silver are as uncomfortable as cutting her flesh.

Tang Meihua was so choked by these words that she almost didn't come up, and only after a while did she reluctantly smile: "One thousand taels is one thousand taels, the small courtyard where you live by yourself is enough to repair the furnishings." ”

"Mother.....

Zhen Yue stared in disbelief, and immediately reached out and pulled her sleeve.

These silver tickets are enough for her to buy several pieces of jewelry, and giving them to Zhen Chutian is like feeding a dog in vain.

"That's it, Chu Tian went to change his clothes first, so as not to catch a cold." Tang Meihua smiled and instructed, her eyes were full of cold light If she and her daughter are reluctant to give up the silver today, I am afraid that Zhen Yuanshan will be even more dissatisfied, and it will be too cost-effective to make the head of the family unhappy because of the silver.

Zhen Chutian's goal was achieved, and he was too lazy to pay attention to her, and after saluting, he left with Pei'er, where was there any pity in the posture of walking with the wind.

Seeing that she came to ask for silver on purpose, Zhen Yue was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis.

This ugly girl is getting more and more interested in her own interests, and she doesn't know what she has been through, so she wants to compete for good things so much.

It's not the way to go.

Outside the Lotus Pavilion.

Pei'er looked at the busy figures of the little maids, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss is too powerful, a few words can ask for a thousand taels of silver, the slave maid still thinks that the prime minister is reluctant to give so much, it seems that the adult still has a young lady in his heart." ”

"You're thinking too much."

Zhen Chutian sneered, only feeling that she was thinking too simply.

If Zhen Yuanshan cared about her, she wouldn't have allowed her stepmother to bully her all these years, but because she was already engaged to Prince An and was a concubine, she couldn't live in a dilapidated house anymore, so she repaired the entire Prime Minister's Mansion for the sake of face, and no one treated her sincerely.

Because of this, when she tries to ask for money, she doesn't care about anyone.

In the next few days, Zhen Chutian carried out this idea to the end, but he repaired the lotus pavilion with silver, and the renovation inside and out took on a new look, which at first glance was more exquisite than the courtyard where the master mother lived.

In order not to let Tang Meihua grab the handle, and in order for Zhen Yuanshan not to be dissatisfied, she specially made the room simpler, even so, Tang Meihua was really angry when she came to investigate.

When Zhen Chutian saw the uncomfortable appearance of the White Lotus mother and daughter, she felt that her whole body was comfortable, but she didn't know that someone in the dark had been silently paying attention to her.

Somewhere in a mansion.

Black Eagle appeared from the shadows and said respectfully: "The eldest lady of the Zhen family destroyed the house on a rainy night, and asked for a thousand taels of silver in front of the prime minister, and renovated her residence. ”

When the words fell, the figure in front of the table paused: "Keep staring, this king must know all her details as soon as possible." ”

Black Hawk looked up in surprise, forgetting to receive his order for a moment.

He never thought that his prince would suddenly be interested in a woman one day, and he would still be an ugly girl with scars on his face.

I have to say that the aesthetics of the prince and ordinary people are different.

"Pei'er, do you know who Gu Daniu is?" Zhen Chutian sat in front of the bronze mirror and carefully smeared fat powder on his face.

Her scars had faded, as she expected, her original appearance was a little better than Zhen Yue's, if the mother and daughter knew, they might be angry.

But she didn't plan to show her true colors right now, after all, there was more important things to do.

"Gu Da Niu? This slave knows. Pei'er watched her face powdered hard, and her expression was strange, as if she had seen a female ghost.

Zhen Chutian turned around suddenly, and the fat puff fell down: "Really? Do you really know Gu Daniu? So where is he now?"

"In the cowshed, doesn't the young lady know? He has always worked in the cowshed, and the cattle in our Prime Minister's Mansion rely on him to take care of them. Pei'er looked at her curiously, not understanding why her own young lady was interested in this person.

Zhen Chutian was stunned and turned around in disappointment.

She should have thought a long time ago, it is impossible for such a mysterious person to leave his real name, let alone rush to send money after getting something important.

System: "Isn't it four hundred taels of silver?" Look at your money addict. ”

Zhen Chutian took a deep breath: "You are floating, four hundred taels of silver is my life!" Do you know how anxious I am to save up money and run away?"

When the mother and daughter are brought down, she can take a large amount of silver to go freely, and four hundred taels of silver should be the concept of being able to worry about food and clothing for a few months.

Pei'er looked at her cautiously: "Miss, it's not a way for you to disguise yourself like this, once the fat powder is off, you will show your true face." ”

"It's okay, it's a while to be able to hide it, next time you bring me some good fat powder, the kind that doesn't take off makeup and is waterproof." Zhen Chutian patted the powder on his hand, and then got up satisfied.

When she went out with this ghostly look, no one would have thought that she had recovered to her original state.

"Miss, is Miss here?!"

There was a sudden rush of shouts in the courtyard, and Zhen Chutian's heart sank inexplicably.

She walked out quickly and looked at the mother-in-law in front of her: "What's the alarm?"

"The moon water jade in the treasury is lost, and the master mother orders you to go over quickly." When the mother-in-law saw her mottled face, she was so frightened that she almost fainted from the haunting of the daytime.

As soon as Zhen Chutian raised his eyebrows, he knew that things were not simple.

When she first got the housekeeper's account book, she knew that the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a heavy land, and it was regarded as the jewels that the emperor had rewarded for many years.

Now that the same jewelry has been lost, she is not in a position to do things as a person in power, it is a trivial matter to pay for the silver out of her own pocket, and it is a big deal to be disliked by Zhen Yuanshan and not know how to take care of the house.

I'm afraid that Tang Meihua's purpose in calling her over was to make a fuss about this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian nodded fearlessly: "Tell my mother, I'm here." ”

When she turned around again, Pei'er's face was already pale: "Miss, what can I do about this?" Losing the Imperial Jewel is no small matter!

"Don't worry, go and get the account book first, I naturally have a way to deal with it." Zhen Chutian patted her shoulder, looking very calm.

Seeing that she was in danger, Pei'er was like taking a reassuring pill, so she regained her composure immediately and went to the main courtyard with her with the account book.

On the way, Zhen Chutian opened the account book and checked the treasury jewelry, and found that Yueshui jade was an extremely rare thing of the jade species, which was bred from the West Sea coral and pearls, and he couldn't get two pieces for decades.

Such a precious thing is worth thousands of taels to say the least, if it is really lost like this, I am afraid that Zhen Yuanshan will eat her alive if he knows about it.

"Yo, the boss is finally here." Cui Ping screamed exaggeratedly, and his tone was full of Yi.

Zhen Chutian was upset, and he didn't want to get used to this Diao slave at the moment: "Can my sister take care of your dog?" Biting everywhere will get you into trouble. ”

"You...."Cui held his face with anger, and he couldn't get any more proud.

"Alright, alright."

Tang Meihua said impatiently: "Chu Tian, have you heard about the loss of things in the warehouse?" What you lost this time is the moon water jade, which is a priceless thing given by the emperor, why didn't you send someone to guard the treasury after you got the right to be a steward?"

She opened her mouth and relied on Zhen Chutian for the loss of things, making it clear that she was here for the power of the housekeeper.

Zhen Chutian was not in a hurry, but said blankly: "The treasury is already guarded, and I haven't lost anything for decades, why do I have to ask someone to guard it as soon as I am a housekeeper?" I've never seen my mother take care of the storeroom before. ”

"Sister, don't be forceful, Yueshuiyu was lost when you were in charge, you better think about how to explain to your father." Zhen Yue looked behind her with a smile.

Zhen Chutian turned around and saw that Zhen Yuanshan hadn't even had time to change his official uniform, so he hurried over.

"What's going on? I heard that Yueshui Jade was lost. ”

Tang Meihua took two steps forward and said busily: "It's really lost, I don't know how Chu Tian took care of the house, as soon as he intervened, he did such a thing, I never lost anything when I was a housekeeper." ”

"Tianji, I'll let you take care of the house, you turned your head and lost the jewels in the house, why don't you kneel down and confess!" Zhen Yuanshan roared angrily, his eyes red.

Zhen Chutian was unmoved: "The jewelry is not my pleasure, my father should hurry up and think of catching the thief, and it is not too late to punish me when the Yueshui jade is recovered." ”

She can see that this incident is the mother and daughter are making trouble.

It couldn't have been such a coincidence, she just lost her jewelry when she was housekeeping, and she also lost such a valuable thing.

"It won't take much time to punish you, but you didn't mean to, you just don't know how to be a housekeeper." Tang Meihua said this intentionally or unintentionally, raising her eyes to look at her master's face.

Sure enough, Zhen Yuanshan sank his face with some regret: "I shouldn't let you, a yellow-haired girl who doesn't know anything, be a housekeeper from now on, you don't want to be a housekeeper anymore!"

"Wait."

Zhen Chutian tightened the account book in his hand, slowly glanced at Tang Meihua's mother and daughter, and said firmly: "Give me three days, and I will definitely be able to recover Yueshui Jade." ”

"Three days? The thieves have long since disappeared, and even if the government sends someone to look for them, they may not be able to find them within three days. Zhen Chutian sneered in a low voice, obviously feeling that she was too immature.

Zhen Chutian didn't pay attention to him, but just looked at Zhen Yuanshan fixedly: "Father." Give me a chance to make amends. ”

She said so sincerely, as if she could really find Yueshui Jade.

Zhen Yuanshan remembered that when she made a bet with herself, she was also so calm and relaxed, so she nodded and agreed for some reason: "Okay, I'll give you three days." ”

"This.."

Tang Meihua sighed in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to speak, but she held back.

Only she knows the whereabouts of Yue Shuiyu, even if Zhen Chutian investigates carefully, even if she cooperates with the government, it is impossible to find out something.
