Chapter Seventy-One: Tracing the Roots

Working with smart people is more worry-free.

Liu Rumei saw at a glance that someone had tampered with the accounts, and Gan Peilin was naturally happy in her heart.

"Aunt Six is talking about ......"

Her tone slowed slightly, and Liu Rumei couldn't wait. "Let me tell you, the prices used in these books exceed the actual prices. A horse of silk, a cart of silk, even a carriage hired for the transport of goods, there is a certain amount of silver to be settled. That's what my mother's family does, how can these carving insect skills fool me. ”

Of course Gan Peilin believed what she said. But that's only part of the story.

In the last life, Liu Rumei was crazy about accumulating money, not only stealing Zhonggong's silver money, but also using the money to put seals. In the name of his father, he promised others some things outside, turned around and blew the pillow wind, forcing his father to do everything.

Those who want to tie up the Ganfu have all the benefits accepted by her, and they can't complain that they are a camphor wood box of gold bricks.

"Peilin, it's inevitable that you don't understand the catty here, after all, you are still young and never involved in housekeeping. The horns and corners here are all the eyes of the heart, and a little brains are silver. The housewife can be said to have done it to the extreme. Liu Rumei snorted contemptuously.

Liu Rumei was confused by the flyy Xiaoli in front of her, so she didn't see through the meaning of her reminder.

"So there are so many doorways in here. If Aunt Sixth doesn't say it, how can I know. Gan Peilin frowned slightly, and made his words clearer: "Those uncles of the Gan family are also fools, and they didn't even notice it at all. After all, a gold brick in a camphor wooden box is worth a lot of money. ”

"A camphor wooden box...... Liu Rumei was excited, and suddenly felt something: "Peilin, this is wrong." The silver that Zhonggong can use every year is only about 10,000 taels, and if you want to hide so many families without revealing a trace, it will be at most three or five thousand taels. There must be something we don't know about. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Rumei's eyes lit up: "Peilin, look at it, within half a month, I will definitely be able to expose her face." At this time, she was busy with her daughter's marriage and couldn't care about anything else. ”

Gan Peilin nodded, but did not say anything.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Liu Rumei curled the corners of her lips.

Gan Peilin knows. Although she is only her father's concubine, she has also secretly made friends with the concubines of many officials in the imperial city over the years. "Sixth aunt, you have to avoid the eyes and ears of the house. On the way back that day, the second son of the Ao family accompanied me into a rouge shop, which spread in the house, which shows that sometimes it is not so safe around us. ”

"You're right." Liu Rumei nodded: "It's really necessary to guard against it." But it's up to me. It's up to you to find a husband. The mother and daughter in the province always want to go past you to fight for Ganfu's face, I think you are much more beautiful than Gan Jilu, if King Shengqing didn't have crooked eyes, why wouldn't he choose her! ”

"It's not a good thing to talk about." Gan Peilin smiled: "I don't have that blessing either." ”

"That's right." Liu Rumei sneered lightly: "People are a raccoon dog, we don't need to make it in." Wait until I've dealt with the situation in front of me, and then I'll find a good candidate for you. ”

Gan Peilin took the opportunity to see the reason for Ze Ze and walked out of Liu Rumei's room.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Yu Ze has become stronger and stronger, and after teasing him for a while, Gan Peilin and Crispy Core went back to the Star Picking Tower.

"Miss, this girl ......" Chen Rui looked embarrassed: "This girl refuses to leave, she has to stay and serve you." ”

"Miss, here is the best steamed bun, and I have all the skills, why can't I stay and serve." The girl took a step forward and knelt down and kowtowed to Gan Peilin: "Don't worry, Miss, although I eat a lot, I can do a good job." If you don't believe me, just give it a try. ”

"You are the girl who followed Sister Yin into the mansion, what is your name?" Gan Peilin looked at her a little strangely.

"My name is Liulan, if the eldest lady doesn't like it, you can name me whatever you want." Liulan rubbed her stomach a little, and said with a smile: "I ate for three people today, so I will naturally do enough work for three people." The eldest lady can rest assured that Liulan will never eat idle meals. ”

"You're the ...... for three people" Chen Rui didn't want to say it, but in the end he couldn't hold back. Miss, this girl ate two big baskets of steamed buns. It was the lunch of the servants in our yard. Could it be that you can only do it by yourself as a slave in a yard? ”

"It's hard to say." Rulan smiled and said, "Why don't you try it." Miss, if you think I eat too much, then I will eat less next time, but I have a condition, give me one day off every month, and I will go to the city to look for people. ”

"Who said that he wanted to keep you, you actually started the conditions yourself." Crispy Core was very dissatisfied with this chirping girl, and always felt that she was too familiar. "Besides, as a young lady's girl, where can I grant leave casually. What if something happens to the young lady? Do you still need the master to accommodate the subordinates? ”

"Miss, you don't need me, you can just give me a letter tomorrow morning. Anyway, after eating so many of your steamed buns today, I have enough strength to work. Just thank you for taking care of the meal. With that, she turned around and went to the back kitchen.

"Oh, what are you doing...... "Crispy Core was not at ease and hurriedly followed.

Chen Rui was about to leave, but was stopped by Gan Peilin. "Lady has something to order?"

"You go and pick a few lady's eye-catching secret whistles and let the sixth aunt and wife hold it. Don't worry about the rest, and remember not to show your feet. ”

"Understood." Chen Rui nodded sharply.

Gan Peilin saw him leaving, and hurriedly said: "The steamed buns in the house have all been eaten, let people buy some pastries and roast chicken or something." Just improve your food. ”

"Yes." Chen Rui could feel that the eldest lady was in a good mood today, and he couldn't help but smile on his lips.

In the prayer hermitage, it's still a similar scene.

Yin Baowen and Ao Su met.

"The people you asked me to bring into Gan have already been sent in. It's just that whether she can stay or not depends on her own ability. Yin Baowen looked at the pilgrims coming and going, and said softly.

"She's sure she can." Ao Xuan smiled firmly: "Thank you, Miss Yin." ”

"You don't have to thank me." Yin Baowen sighed faintly: "I have always liked the sister of the Gan family, originally I shouldn't have helped you." But since your intentions are good, I naturally hope that the results will be satisfactory to you. ”

"I hope so." Ao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I have no reason to come to the Blessing Nunnery again, and if there is something in the future, I will try to contact you." ”

"Hmm." Yin Baowen nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let people notice." ”

The two went in different directions, Yin Baowen went into the incense to pray for blessings, while Ao Su went down the long street to lead the horse, all the way to the Shengqing Palace.

"Your Highness, do you really want to do this?" Ao Yu's expression was a little heavy: "This is a matter that affects the whole body." Even if you don't consider the emperor's side, there is still Da Sima! Last time Lu Zhong impeached him, the emperor obviously covered it up, and there was also the trick of the Grand Governor, after all, this is not a matter of changing the order overnight, please think twice. ”

"This king has already thought twice and twice......" King Shengqing closed his eyes, and the sweet and fresh appearance of Princess Qingning appeared in his mind. That's by no means something that can be compared to a woman who is as supple as water and whose mind is always not thorough enough. "What's more, Shi Ye Country is not to be underestimated now. Why can't they help this king? ”

As he spoke, Ao Xuan walked in. "Your Highness, brother."

He stepped forward and saluted, and handed the peace charm he had asked for back to King Shengqing. King Shengqing reached out without hesitation and took it, closing it in his palm and rubbing it slowly. "Thank you, Ao Sue. In the past, when the mother concubine was there, she always liked to go there and ask for peace charms for the king. ”

With that, he silently opened the peace charm. There is a small piece of paper in the peace charm, and the signature is written on it.

King Shengqing's eyes suddenly showed a smile: "Great, it's signed." ”

"Yes." Ao Xuan nodded: "What Your Highness asks for, you will be able to get your wish." ”

"Ao Sue." Ao Yu glanced at him dissatisfied: "You don't know the depth, don't talk nonsense." ”

"If the elder brother is referring to the marriage of His Highness, then ...... I can't sit idly by. Ao Jue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his tone was a little heavier: "The Gan family is nothing more than the intertwined relationship between Da Sima over the years, but no matter what, it is not as powerful as Shi Ye Country after all. His Royal Highness's mind is not just about the interests of the court, but about going to the next level. ”

"But Shi Yeguo's ambition is too heavy, if he vainly tries to carve up His Highness's country, what should he do?" Ao Yu glared at him unhappily, wondering when it would be his turn to be a concubine in front of His Highness.

"Brother, since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger, not to mention monstrous power." Ao Jue was stunned, and said: "What's more, the country and the beauty are indispensable." ”

It is not like such a child's affection can come out of his mouth.

Ao Yu was a little stunned.

King Shengqing couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, both the country and the beauty of the king want it." Over the years, I have met a ...... like her Naturally, I don't want to miss it. ”

Ao Yu wanted to say something, but Shengqing Dynasty raised his right hand and motioned for him to be silenced. "Regarding the matter of proposing to Ganfu, you should settle the turmoil as soon as possible. It is necessary to remove the hidden danger before the triumphant return of the Great Sima. Remember, make sure you don't reveal this until after Da Sima returns to the Imperial City. His battlefield is not far from Shi Ye Kingdom, and this king doesn't want to have any problems. ”

"Understood." Ao Xuan responded silently.

Although Ao Yu was reluctant, he still nodded his head: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Then you can discuss how to calm the turmoil over there in Ganfu." King Shengqing glanced at the sky, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "This king and beauty have an appointment, and I don't have time to talk to you." ”

"Greetings to Your Highness." Ao Xuan took the first step.

Ao Yu could only salute with him.

As soon as King Shengqing left, Ao Jue stuck Ao Jue's neck like crazy: "You are a son of a concubine, and you have changed your slander in front of His Highness." Do you know that once Shi Yeguo attacks us, His Highness will become a ......?"

Ao Yu didn't dare to say the latter words.

"Brother, heroes have been born in troubled times since ancient times, and His Highness said that he must take advantage of this east wind." Ao Xuan grabbed his wrist tightly, and his strength was no weaker than his: "Actually, you have long seen through His Highness's thoughts, haven't you?" ”
