The housekeeper was at a loss and couldn't say why.

Chen Yaoyao raised the soft wattle and blew it lightly with her red lips, then looked at the cardamom that had just been dyed on her hand with satisfaction, and then glanced at the housekeeper and said, "What?" Could it be that the huge general's mansion doesn't even have an account book for bookkeeping? ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a long time, and finally his face turned red and he held back a sentence from his mouth: "Yes, the account book has always been in charge of Mrs. Lan, not me." ”

"That's ......" Chen Yaoyao touched his chin, and then said, "Then bother the housekeeper to go to Mrs. Lan's residence, ask for the account book, and my servant will go with the housekeeper to get it." ”

"This ......" The butler remembered the figure he had just seen practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and he swallowed his saliva.

"What? Is the butler unwilling? Chen Yaoyao glanced at the housekeeper with slanted eyes, and his voice was raised.

"No, no...... I'm going to ......."

Chen Yaoyao nodded, and then began to continue to apply flower juice to his other hand.

The housekeeper came out of the eldest lady's room, and Xinghao also happened to finish his martial arts practice, changed into a set of clothes and stood in the middle of the courtyard, obviously waiting for the housekeeper.

The housekeeper sighed, "Let's go, follow me to Ruolan Courtyard." ”

Waiting for Chen Yaoyao to open his hand and wait for the cardamom on his two hands to be almost dry, the housekeeper and Xing Hao also returned.

Xinghao put the ledger on the table next to Chen Yaoyao, and Chen Xiaoyao asked Xinghao, "What is the reaction of that Mrs. Lan?" ”

"It's ugly." Xinghao replied.

"......" What is the answer to this?

However, thinking that Xinghao is a foreigner, there may be a problem with expression, so Chen Yaoyao didn't bother much, she said: "Do you mean that she looks ugly when she gets angry?" ”

"Yes." Xinghao nodded.

"Mrs. Lan didn't embarrass you, did she?"

Xinghao nodded, but his hand was subconsciously hidden behind his back.

Chen Yaoyao's sharp eyes saw it, and then he forcefully took Xinghao's hand out of his back.

Xing Hao's fist had a wound that had been slipped by something sharp, and it was densely covered with the entire back of his hand, obviously not lightly injured.

"What's going on?"

Xing Hao didn't speak, so Chen Yaoyao set his eyes on the housekeeper.

"When Xinghao and I went, it happened that Mrs. Lan was looking at the account book, and after explaining her intentions, Mrs. Lan didn't want to give the account book, but Xinghao grabbed it, Mrs. Lan angrily threw a vase at the two of us, and Xinghao directly smashed the vase with his fist, which caused Xinghao's hand to be injured."

After listening to the housekeeper, Chen Yaoyao gasped, and then looked at Xinghao: "Don't you know that it hurts?" How to hit a vase with your fist?! ”

Chen Yaoyao asked Bi Shui to find the ointment, first carefully picked up the porcelain slag on the back of his hand, and then gave Xing Hao medicine.

Xing Hao just quietly looked at Chen Yaoyao, who had medicated himself, and didn't speak, and didn't even frown, as if he really didn't know the pain.

After giving Xing Hao the medicine, Chen Yaoyao asked Xing Hao to go down to rest, she looked at the housekeeper who was still waiting on the side, and said, "You can go down too, if Meng Lan wants the account book, let her come to me by herself!" ”

In the evening, Shen Congchen returned to the house, and as soon as he arrived at Ruolan Courtyard, he saw his beloved Meng Lan sitting on a stone by the pond and sobbing.

Shen Congchen was distressed at the moment, and hurriedly walked to Meng Lan's side, held Meng Lan's shoulders with both hands, and let Meng Lan stand up to him, saying, "What's wrong?" Lan'er? ”

"Today, the slave that Madame asked her to buy back followed the housekeeper to find trouble with Lan'er, and Lan'er suffered a lot of grievances." Meng Lan threw herself into Shen Congchen's arms aggrievedly, crying pitifully.

"Oh?" Shen Congchen raised his eyebrows, his tone became cold, and then he called a maid beside Meng Lan, "Say, what happened." ”

The maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Today, the eldest lady suddenly asked the housekeeper and a domestic servant in the eldest lady to find the account book placed in the lady's place, the lady has been helping the master to control the house for several years, she is worried that the eldest lady will find fault with it, so she refuses to let the housekeeper take the account book, who knows that the domestic servant actually robbed it, snatched the account book from the lady, not to mention, and destroyed a glass vase that the master gave to the lady." ”

After Shen Congchen listened, he was silent for a while, "Lan'er, you are a concubine, Yu Wei'er is the wife, and the account books in the mansion should indeed be taken care of by the wife according to the rules...... I've been forgetting about this before, and I haven't reminded you, so it's my husband's fault, and if you want to cry with me about it, it's not worth it. ”

"But ......" Meng Lan bit her lower lip and looked at Shen Congchen with unwilling and aggrieved eyes, "The house slave in the eldest lady's room broke the vase you gave to the concubine, it is the concubine's favorite vase, don't you care?" ”

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished, not to mention that it's just a glass vase, if Lan'er likes it, there are many more in the library, so what's the matter with Lan'er, don't be wronged, it won't look good if you cry again." Shen Congchen coaxed Meng Lan, and it took a lot of effort to coax people not to cry.

In the past, Meng Lan was coquettish and played with him, whether it was coaxing or teasing him, he felt that he was having fun, but today he didn't know how, and he always felt tired and panicked like this.

After coaxing Meng Lan, he didn't have the heart to continue eating here, so he shirked and went to the study with business to deal with.

But after returning to the study, Shen Congchen couldn't read the book.

Recently, he always thinks of Yu Weier's appearance of dancing at himself, and always thinks that such a spicy and lively Yu Weier is very interesting.

He remembered that his younger brother always said that Yu Weier's cooking was delicious, and he decided to go to Tongxiangyuan.

Originally, he habitually wanted to wear his own sword again, but he remembered what Yu Weier said, so he gave up, put his hands behind his back, and went to Tongxiangyuan.

went to Tongxiang Garden, and before entering the courtyard gate, he smelled the strong aroma of food, Shen Congchen swallowed his saliva, and walked in.

Chen Yaoyao had just brought the food to the table, and was about to beckon Xinghao and Bishui to eat, when he looked up and saw an uninvited guest.

"Why did the general come to me?" Chen Yaoyao immediately put down the sleeves he was holding and put on a dignified appearance.

Shen Congchen looked at the stone table in the courtyard full of food, and said, "I went to my wife's courtyard to eat, do you still need a reason?" ”

Chen Yaoyao ignored him, but called out both Xinghao and Bi Shui.

Bishui had gradually become accustomed to eating at the same table as his own young lady, and happily walked out with the three of them's dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw Shen Congchen, he almost threw the thing he was holding on the ground.

"Old, sir?"

Shen Congchen sat down at the stone table very 'consciously', "Get me a pair of chopsticks too." ”

"I don't think I let you stay here to eat." Chen Yaoyao raised her eyebrows.
