Chapter 177: Accounts

The evening is usually the most idle time for Yan Qingge, she has nothing to do during the day to embroider and read, the light is not good at night, she rarely does embroidery, reading is also picking up words and familiar idle books to flip through, many times, she will also call a few little maids, listen to their chat, so comfortable.

This night, Yan Qingge still leaned on the couch, standing behind her as Ruyi, and gently pinched her shoulders.

"Miss, there's something you don't know yet, right? The third lady's right ear is bad. ”

"What's going on?" Yan Qingge asked. Yan Runxin is still playing in Qingxingyuan during the day, but he has a problem with his ears at night? "This really can't blame Yan Qingge for thinking too much, because Aunt Chu is too clear about Yan Qingge's personality, if Yan Runxin is in Qingxingyuan, Aunt Chu will definitely rely on her.

Ruyi said: "It was Aunt Chu who beat it herself, and the nurse asked if she wanted to invite Lang Zhong to the third lady, but Aunt Chu didn't let her go, saying that she only hurt one side, and she had two ears anyway." ”

Yan Qingge sneered and said, "Aunt Chu is so daring! She frowned slightly: "Call someone out to call Lang Zhong and treat Yan Runxin." ”

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yan Qingge gratefully, and said, "Miss, I'll go and order someone." After saying that, he ran away.

Yan Qingge knows Ruyi's careful thinking, Ruyi is a very good-hearted person, when he sees others in trouble, when he can help, he will always help. What's more, Yan Run's innocent heart makes Ruyi's compassion moved.

Because Yan Run's heart was broken, Yan Qingge asked the maid to go to the Zhuyu Courtyard and instructed Yan Run's heart not to let the two sisters go out until Yan Run's heart was good.

Aunt Chu was calculating the things of Qingxingyuan with Aunt Caifeng, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Aunt Caifeng, she was already a big ball of anger in her heart, and after listening to Yan Qingge's report, her long nails were about to be broken by herself.

Before you know it, it's October.

In October in the capital, the frost is about to fall, and the autumn is sorrowful.

Early in the morning of the first day of October, Yan Qingge got up early, it was dark outside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Ruyi waited for Yan Qingge to freshen up and change clothes, Yan Qingge was dressed up very exquisitely today, not only wearing a colorful purple magpie climbing branch dark pattern long dress, but also tied a scarlet cloak, a set of jewelry are solemn models with red gold and rubies, a rare peach blossom makeup was painted on his face, and the eyebrows were dotted with delicate flowers.

She dressed up so carefully because today was Ling Xiao's wedding.

Ling Xiao was detained by the family half a year before the wedding to learn the rules, learn housekeeping, learn human relations, and even make a new dress for the future aunt's family, and she couldn't go out of the house half a step, even with writing a letter to someone outside, her mother would seal it, where could Ling Xiao stand this, she simply didn't even write a letter.

Because she had carefully embroidered the screen of the battlefield to add makeup to Ling Xiao, she didn't need to give extra gifts, but Yan Qingge still brought a wooden box as a gift, which contained a set of exquisite jewelry that she bought in the famous silver building in Beijing, made of red gold, pearls and sapphires, complex and beautiful with atmosphere, and it is said that it came from the Western Regions.

Yan Qingge still returned to Ling Xiao's house, but the subordinates of Ling Xiao's family were respectful to her, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, and directly led her to Ling Xiao's boudoir to be married.

At this time, the sky was slightly blue, and Ling Xiao sat on the stool, allowing the combing lady and the maid to dress her in a complicated set of bride's dresses.

Yan Qingge saw that Ling Xiao's eyes were a little dark, and said, "You didn't sleep all night last night?" ”

"Yes, my mother said, I have to get up on the fourth watch, if I fall asleep, I will definitely not be able to get up, it is better to stay up at night." Ling Xiao yawned a little and pulled Yan Qingge's arm: "Good Qingge, I haven't seen you for a long time." It's a pity that Brother Mu likes the battlefield Tushui very much, so I sent him in advance, otherwise I can take it out from time to time to take a look and talk about my lovesickness for you. ”

Yan Qingge nodded her head and said, "Naughty again!" It's a shame that I brought other gifts today, otherwise this makeup gift would have been gone. ”

Ling Xiao stuck out his tongue: "I have already asked someone to write down the battlefield map on the list, even if it is already in the Zhongwang Mansion, it is also your makeup gift." ”

After talking for a while, Yan Qingge asked, "I haven't seen Shui Ying for a long time, but I can see her today." ”

Ling Xiao hesitantly looked at the two dressing ladies in the room, stopped talking, and said, "Shui Ying is not here today." ”

Yan Qingge knew that there was a secret, but now was not a good time to say this, so she didn't mention it. The last time she had a correspondence with Shui Ying was before she entered the palace, and now it seems that Shui Ying has encountered something, and she can't even attend her brother's wedding.

Ling Xiao's wedding went very smoothly, and Ling Zhu's government was very good to Shui Mu's son-in-law, and he didn't make it difficult at all, so he let him take Ling Xiao away.

The sedan chair went all the way to the Water King's Mansion, and when it was time to ask the bride to get off the sedan chair, something happened.

The guide Xi Niang called several times, and the sedan chair was quiet and there was no sound. After a while, the face of the bride was sweaty.

Yan Qingge saw that the sedan chair was frozen in front of the door and did not move, Shui Mu was already standing in front of the sedan chair waiting to carry the bride, and suddenly thought of a great possibility in his heart.

She squeezed into the crowd, ignoring everyone's eyes, and said a few words to Xi Niang, who showed a surprised look on her face, nodded at Shui Mu, and whispered to Shui Mu: "Uncle, Miss seems to be asleep, and she can't wake up for a while." Why don't you carry her in first, and I will find a way to call her up on the way, so that I won't delay the worship of the auspicious time. ”

Shui Mu showed a helpless smile on his face, he lifted the sedan curtain, and sure enough, he saw Ling Xiao covered with a red hijab, his head resting on the sedan wall and sleeping soundly.

When Ling Xiao didn't sleep enough, he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. If it weren't for Yan Qingge who had eaten and lived with her in Bailu Academy for a long time, he wouldn't have known her habit.

Ling Xiao's height is not short among women, but compared to Shui Mu, she looks petite and exquisite, although she fell asleep, she was still carried into the house effortlessly by Shui Mu, and many people even didn't see that Ling Xiao was asleep.

Halfway through, the happy lady followed Shui Mu's side, shouting and slapping at Ling Xiao in a low voice, but it was useless, and finally she had to pinch Ling Xiao twice.

Ling Xiao opened her eyes in pain, she just wanted to lose her temper in pain, but she saw that there was a red in front of her, blocking her vision, surrounded by the jubilation of silk and bamboo, and the laughter of the crowd. She was lying on her stomach in a warm place, her legs and back being caught, swaying, and a familiar smell of men lingering on the tip of her nose.

Almost immediately, Ling Xiao reacted, she was at the wedding, and she fell asleep unconsciously in the sedan chair, and was directly carried out by Shui Mu. After the stubborn sleepiness was immediately thrown away by her, her face couldn't help but turn red.

When he arrived at Xitang, Ling Xiao was put down, and things went relatively smoothly after that.

It didn't make trouble until it was dark that Yan Qingge returned home.

After finishing Ling Xiao's affairs, Yan Qingge didn't have any big deals, he stayed at home every day, embroidered dowries, read books, teased the pets in the yard, and occasionally met Yan Xiuyu......

Time flies, it's the New Year in the blink of an eye, this year is Yan Qingge's house, the Yan family is not as plain as in previous years, red lanterns are hung everywhere, everyone has rewarded new cotton clothes, and the people's meals are also fishy, and everyone is grateful to Yan Qingge.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, a mother-in-law hurriedly entered the Qingxing Garden and kowtowed to Yan Qingge: "Miss, the master is back, and the butler asked me to tell you." ”

Yan Qingge's hand paused and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The door that the master just entered, shouldn't have arrived at Hanyouju yet." The woman said.

In the past half a year, Yan Qingge has a good way to govern the Yan family, and governs the Yan family in an orderly manner, others don't talk about it, only about the housekeeper of the Yan family, he is much easier under Yan Qing's singer than when he was under Yan Songnian.

As soon as Yan Songnian came back, the housekeeper hurriedly reported to Yan Qingge, hoping that Yan Qingge could come out to fight with Yan Songnian, and don't let the family power return to the stingy Yan Songnian.

Yan Qingge nodded and said, "I know." And he was silent.

She was in charge of the Yan family some time ago, but no one else in the Yan family could count on, and she didn't want to carry forward the Yan family. Yan Songnian is back, she is too lazy to pay attention to those mundane things.

When the housekeeper heard Yan Qingge's reaction, his heart was cold, and he quickly straightened up his melon skin hat and went to Han Youju.

After being away from home for more than half a year, Yan Songnian has lost some weight, and the clothes on his body are still the same as the ones he wore when he left home, which are a little loose.

He was sitting in the study, like a bookkeeper, holding a brush plate against a thick stack of accounts - this was the various running bills and income details accumulated by the Yan family in the past six months, Yan Qingge rarely looked at it, and always asked someone to send it directly to Han Youju for storage.

Beads of sweat appeared on the housekeeper's forehead, Yan Songnian is the best at picking bones in eggs, even if this account is okay, he will dig three feet into the ground and say that someone is greedy for ink.

Sure enough, Yan Songnian saw him, his face was gloomy, and he beckoned: "Come here!" Look at the filial piety sent by this Zhuangzi, this year's wind and rain are smooth, why are the things sent as little as in previous years? ”

The housekeeper secretly scolded in his heart, Zhuangzi pays a lot of rent every year, and the things of filial piety are the hearts of tenant farmers and domestic slaves, and it is just a courtesy to give more and less, what does it have to do with the wind and rain.

But he still had a smile on his face and said: "Master, this year is a good year, but our family has a small population, and those grains and fresh vegetables can't be eaten every year when they are sent from Zhuangzi. Even though we have built small kitchens in each courtyard of our house this year, and there are more cellars to hide things, some people still come to report that the dishes are broken. ”

"Covered kitchenette? What do you mean! Yan Songnian curled his beard and said.

"It's the meaning of the eldest lady, the big kitchen Xu Pozi made a mistake, the eldest lady dismantled the big kitchen, built a small kitchen for each courtyard, and the meals in each courtyard were separated. The bill of expenses for the eldest lady to cover the small kitchen is in the stack of accounts in your hand, the eldest lady's kitchen is really well built, and it doesn't cost much. ”

The housekeeper praised Yan Qingge on the surface, but behind his back, he was giving Yan Qingge eye medicine, wanting to provoke Yan Songnian to trouble Yan Qingge. Yan Qingge was calm, he couldn't move, it would be much easier to provoke Yan Songnian.

Sure enough, Yan Songnian was furious and took the case: "What? This wicked girl dared to tear down the big kitchen and divide it into small kitchens! Also spend the money on the public account! Say, what else did she do? ”
