Chapter 196: Liu Yuanwai's bill
"Lotus, you should also avoid it." Ouyang Huaiyu in the room commanded in a low voice.
The lotus turned around but knocked down Hua Cheng's chest, and the two of them turned red to the base of their ears.
"Don't be stunned. If I stay here any longer, I'm going to be discovered! The lotus dragged the corner of Hua Cheng's clothes to a side hall. There was no light in the room, and the two of them didn't dare to move for half a minute.
"Huacheng! Go and ask Liu Yuanwai to come in! ”
Hua Cheng, who was suddenly called, was pushed by the lotus, and then walked out of the side hall, and did not forget to explain the lotus before leaving, "When I don't come to pick you up, no one can come out!" Remember! ”
Lotus nodded, thinking that Hua Cheng couldn't see in the dark, so she whispered "um". It's kind of a note.
Hua Cheng ran to the door to open the door for Liu Yuanwai, but saw Liu Yuanwai anxiously turning back and forth at the gate of the mansion.
The door of the mansion was finally opened, and Liu Yuanwai's pacing finally stopped, "What? Could it be that there are distinguished guests in the prince's mansion? Am I here at the wrong time? ”
Hua Cheng squeezed out a polite smile, "That's not it, it's all the villain's fault, this mansion is too big, and the small one hasn't figured out the way for a while, so it delayed the time to open the door to the staff." Hua Cheng thought to himself, if he still wants to trick me, no way!
"It's not early, please come in quickly, right?" Hua Cheng invited Liu Yuanwai into the mansion, and the little guy who followed Liu Yuanwai glanced at Hua Cheng, Hua Cheng could feel the anger in the other party's eyes, but he didn't care too much.
In the main hall, Ouyang Huaiyu instructed the maidservant to serve a pot of Maojian tea to Liu Yuanwai. The tea leaves stand in a pavilion, but in Liu Yuanwai's eyes, they want to be rooted in their hearts. He just came with this bill, and he didn't know exactly what Luo Licheng was going to use it for. If Ouyang Huaiyu finds out, he won't be able to eat and walk around today!
"It's so late, I don't know what the outside world is coming, what are you doing?" Ouyang Huaiyu took a sip of tea without hurrying. Xia Zhixue behind the screen also secretly listened to the movement outside, why did this old fox come in the middle of the night, wouldn't he find something?
"That's right, my lord. The villain has a bill here, and he needs to sign it. When I gave you food before, I forgot to sign this bill because the lives of the people of Li were in danger. In the past two days, the account room in the house has to count all the bills in the house, and I ask the prince to forgive me. ”
Just to sign the bill so late, Ouyang Huaiyu didn't believe it. There must be something strange in it, but he didn't directly pick it out, so it's a big deal to see the move.
"I'm looking for an outsider to sign too! I was just going to prepare a copy tomorrow and hand it over to the staff. The imperial court also needs this bill! ”
Liu Yuanwai's heart fell, and he took a big sip of tea, "It's okay, don't bother the prince, the small one has already prepared a copy, and the prince only needs to sign it." The little guy behind Liu Yuanwai hurriedly walked over and handed the bill to Ouyang Huaiyu.
"Lord Wang, if there is no problem, just sign it."
Ouyang Huaiyu took the bill and checked the number first, and it was indeed no problem. What's the problem?
A piece of paper, but Ouyang Huaiyu looked at it for a full quarter of an hour. I finally put down the bill and signed my name on the bill.
"You need to make two copies outside of the biller, right? One is left for the staff, and one is for me to bring back to the imperial court. What do outsiders think? "I love watching Chinese
Liu Yuanwai's sweat beads began to bubble out, and he didn't even think about this problem at the beginning. He wiped his sweat and took another sip of tea, thinking about how to answer Ouyang Huaiyu's question.
All these small actions were all in Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes.
"Lord Wang, we just let the account room check the account, and then return this piece of paper to you after checking, do you think it's okay? Don't bother the prince, you can sign another copy. ”
Ouyang Huaiyu hooked the corners of his lips, he understood what Xia Zhixue meant, it turned out that the last net was waiting for him here. He returned the bill to Liu Yuanwai, "Everything is arranged outside the staff." ”
When Liu Yuanwai got this piece of paper, his eyes couldn't help but leave honey, and a pair of eyes that were already looking obscene were even more obscene at the moment. "Then don't bother the prince. The prince rested earlier. The villain checked the bill and sent it to the prince. ”
He knew in his heart that this bill would not be returned, as long as it was handed over to his good nephew, Ouyang Huaiyu would be in trouble for a while, but this was not something he should worry about. All he cared about was the one hundred taels of silver that was about to arrive.
Hearing that the door of the mansion was gently closed and locked, Ouyang Huaiyu shouted, "Come out." Hua Cheng saw that his prince had all orders, and hurriedly walked to the side hall to pick up the lotus, and when he saw the dark room, Hua Cheng realized that he didn't bring candles. In desperation, I had to shout.
"Lotus! Come out! Liu Yuanwai is gone! ”
Only then did the lotus stroke her chest. Especially in the dark of night, people are more likely to be cranky. Lotus has been wondering if it could be her whereabouts that exposed herself and Miss one day, and was discovered by Liu Yuanwai. There was no movement for so long, and Lotus guessed whether Liu Yuanwai had taken Miss away, but she didn't hear any shouts, and she still felt some comfort and happiness in her heart.
In every second of the night, Lotus was afraid that she would hear the young lady's shout or the prince's loud reprimand in the next second. But in the end, what she was waiting for was Hua Cheng's soft voice, "Lotus, come out!" "Lotus has never felt that Hua Cheng's voice is so good. She rubbed the tears that were still in the corners of her eyes and laughed softly.
"What's wrong?" Hua Cheng looked worried.
"It's okay, it's just a feeling of the rest of my life." Lotus grinned.
Hua Cheng rubbed the lotus's head and walked out of the side hall with the lotus.
in the main hall.
"Zhixue, I see what you mean." Ouyang Huaiyu originally listened to Xia Zhixue's words, and felt that she was a little worried, but when he saw the piece of paper, he knew that Xia Zhixue's worries were useful.
"Oh? Tell me, how do you know? Xia Zhixue looked proud.
"Originally, I wanted to check the number of bills, but I thought there must be nothing wrong with such an obvious place, and it wasn't until I noticed that the color of the pen and ink was different, and I realized what the problem was." Ouyang Huaiyu seemed to be telling a particularly great deed, and his face was full of pride.
"So after I signed my name, I was more sure. The color of the ink is different. It is true that the ink will vary depending on the length of time, or the strength of the ink maker. But the ink on the bill is noticeably blue. This is due to the use of ink that disappears when exposed to heat! ”
Xia Zhixue couldn't help but praise him when she heard Ouyang Huaiyu's analysis.
"Not bad! Ouyang Huaiyu! Under my influence, congratulations on finally opening your mind! Xia Zhixue playfully applauded Ouyang Huaiyu, and even gave a thumbs up.
