Xiao Ba stood outside the stove room, and saw clearly through the open door, bullying this, Brother Xiao was not only angry, but regarded him as a baby.

For Miss Qin, it's really ......

"Before the rainy season comes, you need to finish eating, go to the market tomorrow to buy a few more chickens, and keep them in captivity."

The sudden clear man's voice pulled back Xiao Ba's thoughts, and at this time, Xiao Jinyan had already left the stove house and stood in front of him.

"You're good at pastries, and you're good at chestnuts."

There is a small county in Daqi, where every farmer will plant chestnut trees to make cakes, and the steamed rice on the stove will also be put on the flour made from chestnuts, which is more fragrant and smooth.

Once marched here, Hachi learned a few hands from the farmers, and the chestnut cakes he made tasted good.

It's just that when he looks at Brother Xiao like this, I'm afraid he will eat chestnuts every day in the future.

"Remember?"

The tone of voice rose slightly, but his eyes were full of scrutiny, even though his heart was uneven, Xiao Hachi still responded, "Hmm." ”

"Start preparing today."

In a simple word, Xiao Jinyan walked forward, Xiao Ba's lips kept opening and closing, and finally stood in place for a long time without saying a word.

At this time, Steward Wang had already returned to Qin's mansion, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he entered the study and told Mrs. Qin truthfully.

"There's only one servant in the house?"

"A small soldier who is not tall is alone, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Xiao."

Perhaps it should be said that although Mr. Xiao is in a high position, he has no shelf.

Mrs. Qin's eyes were scrutinizing, the servants were respectful, the etiquette was in place, and it was seen from the side that the master's private conduct was also good.

"How do you react when you see chestnuts?"

"When the old slave left, Mr. Xiao came back, and he didn't know it."

Qin Taifu pondered for a moment, the most important thing is not to know, they all say that the military general has a straight temperament, a hot temper, and the most important thing is to save face.

Seeing the old man's expression, Steward Wang couldn't help but wonder, why did he suddenly pay so much attention to Mr. Xiao? Feel like sending chestnuts for temptation?

The interrogation was also very detailed, and even the servants in the house asked, what does it mean?

"Alright, go down."

When the court goes to court tomorrow, the two will always meet, and he will be able to observe one or two at that time.

This is the first level, he wants to see how Xiao Jinyan performs? If it is not right at all, even if Shu'er is satisfied, he must be cautious.

"Yes, sir."

The steward of the king bowed, retreated out of the study, and walked out of the avenue to the avenue.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the eldest lady coming from the side road, looking at her eyes, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Steward Wang, take the account book of the last month to the Cloud Academy, I'll take it right."

Saying that, Qin Yunshu shook his head again, "That's it, I'll go to the account office, and you won't have to run back and forth." ”

When the words fell, she raised her feet and went forward, and the king steward hurriedly followed.

On the east side of the house, the ledger is covered with paper to prevent dust from spilling.

"Miss, this one."

Steward Wang took out a blue-skinned book from the cabinet, all of which were marked with dates, and handed it respectfully.

Qin Yunshu took it, holding the account book in one hand, and clicking the abacus in the other, his slender fingers sliding quickly.

"Huh? Twenty taels, what's going on with this? ”

Qin Yunshu's eyebrows twisted slightly, and there was a slight error in the accounts.

"Miss Hui, the lord ordered to buy fresh chestnuts, and you must buy them today. When the old slave arrived at the market, there was only one basket left, and now it was almost the end of the season when the chestnuts were over, and when they encountered another person scrambling, they could only raise the price to buy them. ”

This explanation made Qin Yunshu even more puzzled, the Qin Mansion never was extravagant and wasteful, and never deliberately bought at a higher price, why was he in such a hurry to buy?

"The old slave couldn't say this, but ......"

The eldest lady checks the accounts, and she has always asked accurately, but when it comes to this, he can only tell the whole thing.

"A basket of chestnuts was sent to Mr. Xiao's house."
