Chapter 85

At night, in the Jian'an Hou Mansion, the guests dispersed, and Mrs. Jian'an Hou sat on the soft couch sulking, her good birthday was ruined by Xue Yingrou's several calls!

Mrs. Jian'an Hou couldn't let go of Mrs. Huaiyuan's face that mocked her, "Damn, relying on the support of the third prince behind her back, she dared to make fun of Mrs. Ben!" Of course, Mrs. Jian'an Hou blamed Xue Yingrou more for this resentment, because she didn't use her brains at all, so she would give the Yuan family an opportunity to laugh at herself.

"Madame, don't spoil your mood for a nasty person, today is your big day, look," Madame who was waiting in front of Mrs. Hou hurriedly relieved, "The prince heard that Madame didn't use two mouthfuls at the dinner, so he personally cooked longevity noodles for you, Madame, can you taste it?" ”

"It's still Zimo who has a heart!" Mrs. Hou thought of her son's filial piety, and her heart rose again, "It's a pity that I am such a good son... I actually got such a stupid daughter-in-law! ”

Mrs. Hou's words made Mama shut up, everyone in the capital knows what kind of temperament Prime Minister Xue Cheng's daughter is, at the beginning, the prince was reluctant in every way, but Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou still forcibly let the prince marry Mrs. Shizi into the door, and now it is meaningless to sigh that the original choice was wrong. Mama silently took two steps back, how could the master think that they who were slaves could be evaluated.

Mrs. Hou moved her chopsticks, but she was really angry and had no appetite. "Let's take stock of today's congratulatory gifts, and bring the valuable congratulatory gifts to Mrs. Ben." Mrs. Hou was in a panic, so she wanted to find something to do to distract herself.

Mama quickly brought the list, but she still had an inconspicuous wooden box in her hand, "Madam, this is a list of valuable congratulatory gifts." ”

"Well," Mrs. Hou took the list and asked casually, "what is the wooden box in your hand?" ”

"This was discovered by the next person when he was counting the congratulatory gifts, and I don't know who sent it." Mama opened the box and handed the account book inside to Mrs. Hou, "Inside this wooden box is an account book, the old slave checked it carefully, and found that there was a Luo character printed on the cover of the account book, so he took it over and showed it to Mrs. ”

"Lowe?" Mrs. Hou was taken aback, "Could it be that you say.." She took the account book and looked at it carefully, although there were many words in it that were combined together and people couldn't read it, but the incoming and outgoing items of silver were clear, and the amount of each sum was very huge.

Mrs. Hou's face became very solemn, "What about Master Hou?" ”

"Master Hou and the prince are discussing things in the study." Mrs. Hou didn't think much about it, took the account book and walked towards the study.

"Master Hou, the prince!" Mrs. Hou rushed directly into the study, startling Jian Anhou and Yan Zimo.

"Mother, why are you here?" Yan Zimo knew that Mrs. Hou had an opinion on Xue Yingrou today, and thought that she was angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Master Hou, look!" Mrs. Hou pushed away Yan Zimo's hand, walked to Jian'an Hou step by step, and handed him the account book, "I don't know who sent this account book to the house as a congratulatory gift today!" ”

The Marquis of Jian'an looked through the account books casually, "Which house is it?" ”

"Master Hou, look at the lower right corner of the cover of the account book, there is a Luo character imprint!" Mrs. Hou reminded that the cover of the account book is made of cowhide, and the Luo character is branded, which is generally difficult to imitate.

"Dad, could it be said that this is the account book that the Yuan family lost in Liuliyuan yesterday that the second prince said?!" Yan Zimo was taken aback, and hurriedly took the account book and looked at it, "Yes, it must be, the only person in the Great Xia Kingdom who can have this kind of account exchange is Huangshang Luo Ji!" However, what do these words before the entry and exit items mean? Qu Chenliang? Jiang Guyin? What is this? Is Lo Kee buying and selling these things? ”

Jian Anhou frowned and fell into deep thought, "Who sent this account book?" ”

"I don't know about this concubine." Mrs. Hou shook her head, "It was stacked in the congratulatory gift, and I only found it when I counted it tonight." ”

"There are so many people who came to the Hou Mansion today to give Niang Hesheng, and someone took the opportunity to mix them in." Yan Zimo thought for a moment, "Dad, do you think it's possible that the Yuan family did it?" They don't like us to build the Hou Mansion of An, so they want to take a fake account book that seems to be true or not true to lure us to anger the third prince, and let the third prince clean us up?" Thinking that today's mother was so angry with Mrs. Yuan, Yan Zimo immediately thought of this possibility.

"I don't think so," Jian Anhou pinched the heavy account book, "As soon as the incident of Liuliyuan came out yesterday, the three princes all transferred the people from his three princes' mansions to help, if it was just a show, it would not be possible to make such a big move, regardless of the impact!" ”

"What do you mean, is this account book real?" Yan Zimo was a little puzzled, "Then who stole it and sent it to our Jian'an Hou Mansion?" He mixed the account book into the congratulatory gift without sparing his life, apparently not wanting people to know his identity. ”

"Whatever his purpose, this book is what we need." Jian'an Hou stroked the mark of this Luo character, "Without further ado, Zimo will go to the Second Prince's Mansion and report this matter carefully to the Second Prince." ”

"Daddy isn't going?" Yan Zimo frowned, he had become more and more dissatisfied with the way the second prince acted recently, if he could, he didn't want to meet with the second prince in private alone.

"Someone secretly put this account book into our Jian'an Hou Mansion, maybe they are still secretly watching our every move." Jian'an Hou shook his head, "You have good martial arts, and you can easily avoid their staring." and the father shall remain in the house, lest anything go wrong. ”

Yan Zimo was silent, what Dad said was not unreasonable, "Dad, we don't know who is watching, what is the martial arts of the person who is watching, why don't you report this time to the second prince tomorrow when Dad goes to court?" ”

Jian Anhou patted Yan Zimo's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Child, you are also older, and many things cannot be done according to your own preferences. We are already standing on the boat of the second prince, and we can't get off the boat. If we want to live a good life and continue the century-old foundation of Jian'an Houfu, we can only change our mentality. If the mountain is not me, I will be the mountain. For the sake of us to build the Anhou Mansion, you must learn to obey orders and mix a little less of your own ideas. ”

"The child knows." Yan Zimo lowered his eyes, and his heart was mixed. It turns out that he has already behaved so obviously?

Mrs. Hou looked at Jian'an Hou's father and son blankly, "Master Hou, Shizi, what are you talking about?" ”

Jian Anhou smiled at Mrs. Hou, turned his head and asked Yan Zimo, "You don't want to go to the Second Wang's Mansion tonight, do you want to go back to accompany your wife?" ”

When it came to Xue Yingrou, Yan Zimo's face was as black as charcoal, and he took the account book away from Jian'an Hou's hand, "Child, I'm going to see the second prince." ”
