What a blessing it would be if the whole life was so quiet and stable!

It's just that for him Lu Qi, this is undoubtedly an extravagant hope.

"I'm sorry." He sighed softly.

There are some things that she can't know yet......

An Yue was drawing patterns in the house, preparing to embroider a handkerchief, and after half an hour passed, the incense in the house was burned out, and she found that the girl had not come back, so she called Liluo to go and see it together.

Outside the backyard door, the birds chirping and the stream murmuring were all melted into the warm sun, like a crystal amber, diffusing the glory of autumn.

Shuying was still sitting with his back against the pillar, with a book beside him, and his head was already tilted to one side.

An Yue knew that the girl was sleepless at night, and she was already tired in the morning, so she finally took a nap at the moment, thinking that it would be better for her to sleep under the sun for a while.

Liluo whispered: "It's Luqiu's time now, and the girl has been sitting outside, so she will inevitably catch a cold!" Wouldn't it be better for us to wake her up and go to the house and sleep under the covers? ”

So the two of them crept over to Shuying's side, shook her arm and said, "Girl, girl, wake up!" The day is about to pass, let's go to sleep in the room! ”

Shuying was originally a light sleep, but she woke up immediately when they shouted, rubbing her sore temples, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"Soon, half an hour later." Liluo looked at the girl who would only relax like this in front of them, and was inexplicably a little comfortable.

"I had a dream just now, and I actually dreamed that Lu Suiyun came here to find me, but it's ridiculous!"

An Yue thought it was very funny and teased her: "The girl is in a daze!" Where is the dream, he really came, you see, the book on this side is not left by him? ”

Shuying gently stroked the book "Poems by the Window" with her hand, because she had also been here for a long time, basking in the sun quietly with her, and had the same warm touch as human skin. Holding it in her hand, she gently put a small booklet on the tip of her nose, and the faint smell of ink mixed with sandalwood diffused between her heart and lungs, making people feel calm.

She had been thinking about this book for a while, but unfortunately, every time she sent the maid of Shentu Mansion to buy it for her, she could only get an exclamation from the bookstore shopkeeper: "He Zi's book, too many people are lining up to buy it!" "Even if it's booked in advance, it will have to wait for the first half of the year. In addition, He Zi is old and does not often write books, if anyone can have a new work of He Jianheng in his hand, it is already a very worthy thing to show off at the moment.

Liluo could see that the girl was fascinated by the book, not only because of the preciousness of the book, but also because of the rare affection of the person who sent the book.

The appearance of the first opening of love is probably like this.

Shuying also thought about it, he actually fell asleep in his presence, does this mean that he really has any feelings for him?

It's really unassuming! In the current situation, she cannot afford the slightest mental slackness, let alone wavering in her position......

After returning to the house and eating some snacks, I took a nap and got up in the early afternoon, ready to implement my plan to audit the accounts.

In the drawer of the dressing table are the small pieces of silver that have been saved over the years, at least fifty taels. This is a small amount, because she thinks that money should have a better place, but staying by her side may not necessarily give birth to a small amount of money, so she bought a lot of kitsch jewelry, beads, jade, etc., all of which are placed in Shentu Mansion.

Now this silver is more than enough to take care of the subordinates. The account books of the Hou Mansion had all been seen by Xie Yuyuan before, and now it is estimated that they are under the control of the Liu family, and with her relationship with Sanfang, there is not much hindrance.

The bookkeeper is on the east bank, and generally only the maids and servants who report the accounts in each room go.

Shuying picked the least number of people and found the account room. Mr. Hu in the account room heard that Shuying was going to check the accounts, and he didn't even care about the silver in her hand, so he refused, "Girl, don't be weird!" It's not a small inaccommodating, it's really a long-standing rule in the house, and we all have to go through the instructions of the second grandmother before we can allow others to look through the account books. ”

She was puzzled: "Didn't Master Hou just give the power of the family to Sanfang?" Why do you have to ask her for instructions? ”

"On the surface! The power in charge of general affairs was indeed transferred from the second grandmother to the third grandmother, but the third grandmother was not used to such a thing, and she had to take care of the third master's body. The capital accounts have always been managed by the second grandmother, and it is inconvenient to hand them over to others rashly! ”

Shuying's expression turned from suspicion to anger, it turned out that it was really as Lu Qi said, Hou Ye was heavily fined two bedrooms and four bedrooms, but he was just making a show in front of her, and even found a way back for them!

Anger was useless, and her countenance quickly returned to its composure.

In addition to the Liu family, there is no second person in the Hou Mansion who can replace Xie Yuyuan in charge of the family, and the Liu family will take over the affairs in this eventful autumn season, and he must let Xie Yuyuan teach him, so as not to make mistakes. From this point of view, it is even more difficult for Xie Yuyuan to completely lose the trust of the Hou Ye. What's more, in the past, their biggest hope for the Nie family was already a waste chess discard, and there was no need for her to fall into the well and recount the second room.

The account room didn't work, so I had to put it aside, and I still had to follow Lu Suiyun's idea and start checking the personnel from the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion first.

is worthy of him, he has already calculated this step.

After another night, Shuying came to the big kitchen early, and the cooks started work after answering, and at this time it was already very busy, and no one had time to take care of her.

Tomorrow is the seventh day of the last day of the Son, and the kitchen is full of wine jars, vegetables, and firewood. Shuying was not familiar with the funerals in the Jiangbei area, and she was still young when her grandfather and grandmother died, so she didn't know what to prepare for it, so she stayed by the side and watched quietly.

The cooks of the Hou Mansion are all strong, with a linen towel wrapped around their heads, the same ochre-colored apron around their waists, and their hands and feet are very fast. I heard that they were all trained by Mama Shi in the past.

Mrs. Shi is the first housekeeper of the Xie family in Jinling, who has passed the current head of the Xie family, and then followed the eldest lady Xie Yuyuan to accompany the room to the Hou Mansion, and governed the subordinates of the Huaiyong Hou Mansion in a proper and proper manner, so that the scenery of the second room far exceeded the big house.

The late Dafang Lu Yuan and his wife Wu were the past that everyone in the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion did not want to mention.

Lu Yuan was born insufficient, his appearance was ugly, and he was a concubine born to the previous generation (Lu Tongyi's eldest brother) when he was young, and he was hated since he was a child. But after all, he is the eldest son of the Lu clan, and the Hou Ye also loves him very much, and even treats him as his own son, and finds a matching family for him.

Miss Wu is a reasonable, virtuous and capable person, who gave birth to Lin'er for him, and also helped Mrs. Liu to take care of the family affairs of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner. Mama Jiang is a shrewd character trained under the Wu family.

But he walked bizarrely, and was found in the largest Fengyue Field in Jinling City, unclothed, bruised, and there were two beauties shrunk next to him.

Everyone scolded him for deserving it, giving birth to a disgusting rotten skin, and abandoning his wife and children to find flowers and willows, and in the end he only deserved to die like this.

The Wu family was so hard to defeat everyone that they went to Mrs. Liu to kowtow and beg her to take care of her infant son, and then died in front of Lu Yuan's coffin.
