Chu Yuqin chuckled: "I thought the third aunt was also a businessman. ”

The third aunt responded: "It's good to do business." The price is clearly marked, and if it is suitable, it will be traded, and if it is not suitable, it will be left. I'd rather be a businessman. ”

"It's the first time I've come to my third aunt's place. The environment is quiet and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, no wonder Grandpa Guo likes to come here. Chu Yuqin was walking around in the yard. But look at the third aunt's face is not very good, is there an old illness in her body? ”

The third aunt walked up to her: "I have long heard that Mrs. Shizi is good at conditioning her body. My body has long since collapsed. If Mrs. Shizi can help me take care of one or two, I will be my friend in the future. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. ”

"We live under the same roof, that's family. Where is the need for such politeness? If the third aunt can put her mind at ease, I will write you a medicinal diet recipe. Chu Yuqin stretched out his hand to the third aunt.

The third aunt handed her her hand and let her take the pulse.

"It's not a big problem. My aunt had a miscarriage and left some hidden diseases. I've seen this happen a lot. It can be adjusted in half a year. ”

Chu Yuqin withdrew his hand and made a promise.

"Really? Can our aunt really take care of it? The maidservant next to her said excitedly: "Even the doctor said that my aunt's body is not well adjusted." You can't lie to our aunt. ”

"Apricot, don't be rude." The third aunt frowned and looked at the maidservant unhappily.

Chu Yuqin waved his hand: "It's okay." It's normal for an apricot girl to think like this. I don't blame her. My aunt just waited. Although it takes half a year to recuperate, as long as I eat it according to my medicinal diet, I can see the effect in a month. Because my recipe still has the effect of nourishing the skin. ”

The third aunt wrung her handkerchief: "If that's the case, you and I are friends." ”

"Since we're friends, shouldn't my aunt invite me in for a cup of tea? How can there be a reason to greet friends in the yard? Chu Yuqin smiled.

"Please." The third aunt made a gesture of please.

Xing'er poured tea for Chu Yuqin and stood next to her to apologize: "The slave was rude just now." I ask for your forgiveness. ”

"You care about your master, and that is a sign of faithfulness. Why should I blame you? Chu Yuqin said: "Auntie, my mother handed over the housekeeping to me. To tell you the truth, I am new to the school, and there are still many things I don't understand. This was left to me hastily, and I was a little in a hurry. If my aunt wants to, she might as well help me manage some of it. And that's kind of a favor for me. ”

"I'm just a concubine. If I help you take care of the house, will someone say anything? The third aunt said worriedly.

"My aunt doesn't look like a scared person! With the degree of favor you have by Grandpa Guo's side, the average beam-jumping clown doesn't have to be afraid. ”

"Since Mrs. Shizi values me so much, then I might as well be respectful." The third aunt said: "Don't say anything else, Aunt Zhao is the pug of the Duchess of the country." She didn't stumble on you, did she? Because it's the concubine of Grandpa Guo, you're easy to be suppressed by her, right? ”

"My aunt still understands me. This Aunt Zhao is indeed very troublesome. Let's take today, there is a problem in her yard at every turn, so my people have run a few times. Although it was solved in the end, it was still unpleasant to be led by such a person. ”

"Since I promised to help you, these concubines of the grandfather of the country will be handed over to me. The Lady of the Prince only has to deal with the ghosts and ghosts hidden in the shadows. The third aunt picked up the teacup. Let's have a drink with tea instead of wine! ”

Chu Yuqin picked up the teacup and drank the cup of alliance tea with the third aunt.

"My miscarriage was murdered by the Duchess of the Kingdom. At that time, I was stupid, I didn't fight or grab, thinking that I could live a pure life in this way. The third aunt smiled bitterly. Later, I learned that the principle that people don't offend me and I don't offend others is a joke here. I only let them know that I am not a soft persimmon that they dare not pinch me. Otherwise, even those slaves who look down on people don't take my aunt seriously. ”

Chu Yuqin listened quietly to the third aunt's complaints.

In fact, she had investigated the origin and behavior of these concubines in the mansion before. This third aunt is currently the most favored and the easiest to form an alliance with her. Because she resents the Duchess of Guo, it is absolutely impossible for her to reach an alliance with the Duchess of Guo.

"The Duchess of Guo has lost her mind, it should have something to do with you, right?" The third aunt suddenly came over and said this in a low voice.

Chu Yuqin blinked, his stunning face was full of innocence.

"What is the third aunt talking about? How do I not understand? The Duchess of the Kingdom had lost her mind, and that was because she was sick. How does it relate to me? ”

"It's good to be pretty! Look at your face, no matter how you look at it, you look like a fairy, and no one doubts what you do. The third aunt quipped.

"That aunt was suspicious of me just now." Chu Yuqin said: "Those things have nothing to do with me. You can't wronged me. ”

After talking to the third aunt for a while, Zhu Xue came over and said that there was a problem in the warehouse.

Chu Yuqin and the third aunt went to the warehouse together.

"What's wrong with the storeroom?" Chu Yuqin asked the warehouse manager.

The warehouse steward arched his hand, and a bitter gourd looked: "Mrs. Shizi, the treasury caught fire just now, and a batch of things were burned." ”

Chu Yuqin walked to the burned place, frowned and said, "In broad daylight, is there no one to take care of here?" The weather is not dry, where does the fire come from? ”

"What did you burn?" The third aunt asked, picking up a destroyed box.

The steward replied: "The cloud brocade that the emperor rewarded to the grandfather of the country last time was originally placed here, but now it has all been burned down. There is also some jewelry, which seems to have burned out. There are also some ...... The minions haven't cleaned up yet, and will count all the goods again later, and what is missing is what is burned. ”

Chu Yuqin raised his eyebrows: "Yunjin? That's incredible. Yunjin is precious, that's a tribute. If the emperor knows that the Yunjin of our Guogong Mansion has been burned, I don't know if he will be punished. After all, it's a gift from the Emperor! You said that if Grandpa Guo knew that you were not managing well, would he ......?"

The steward knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Yuqin: "Mrs. Shizi, you can spare the slave!" The minions don't want to do that, either! Somehow, a fire came and burned half of the storeroom. Fortunately, the minions found it in time, otherwise the entire storehouse would have been burned. ”

"You're an old man in the house. This kind of mistake is also made, which really makes people doubt your ability. Give me an inventory first, and I'll see how much I've lost. If you lose too much, you will sell your whole family. Presumably, I, the wife of the world, still have this right. Chu Yuqin said, and said to Qiu Yin next to him: "You follow him to count." And all these burned things, all of which are not allowed to be touched. Give me the accounts, and I'll decide what to do with it. ”

Qiu Yin replied: "Yes." ”

The steward's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The third aunt followed Chu Yuqin and walked out: "What does Mrs. Shizi think?" ”

"Artificially burned, what is there to say?" Chu Yuqin said.
