Chapter 020: Inquiring
Jin Nian was very surprised that Su Jintong intercepted her here because of her changes over the past few days!
In this way, is Su Jintong feeling uneasy?
This is really rare, Jin Nian smiled, his eyes faintly met Su Jintong's cold gaze, and his tone was indifferent with a hint of warning: "Take care of your own business!" Now that we're all safe, I think it's good, sister, what do you say?! ”
That understatement glance made Su Jintong panic instantly, and when she came back to her senses, she only saw Su Jinnian's figure disappearing at the end of the path.
Su Jintong was so angry that he stomped his feet.
When the maid saw Su Jintong, who had always walked in a mock, she was deflated, and immediately pretended to be deaf and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Su Jintong was a little more angry in her chest, and she ordered with a blushing face: "Don't say anything about today's matter, otherwise you will all be betrayed!" ”
As for Su Jinnian, the coming day is long!
Because of Jin Nian's beautiful counterattack just now, Du Juan and Yingge's eyes changed when they looked at Jin Nian, thinking of Su Jintong's stunned expression, the two girls only felt extremely relieved.
"Miss, do you have anything you particularly want to eat tonight, I'll go to the small kitchen and send you a message?" The cuckoo couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and smiled when he spoke.
Is this to celebrate her? Jin Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, and reported the name of the dish with a smile: "Just the jade shrimp, tell the people in the kitchen to make two more copies, and everyone in the mirror flower building has a share." ”
She let Du Juan go to the small kitchen, and she took Yingge into Su Jinyan's Qianyue Xuan by the way.
The scenery of the shallow moon pavilion is a bit monotonous, except for the bamboo is some trees, at this time in the spring, many branches have just pulled out the young leaves, and they look vibrant.
In his previous life, Jin Nian also privately thought that this second cousin was a person who didn't like flowers and plants, but now that he thinks about it, it must be because of tinea flowers.
Seeing her coming, Su Jinyan was quite surprised: "Sixth sister, has she just gotten out of school?" ”
As she spoke, she looked at Jinnian's master and servant suspiciously.
Jin Nian was a little surprised, looking for the matter of Anjushi, she was anxious!
But when the person had arrived here, she also smiled lightly: "Let the second sister smile, I was thirsty when I came back from school, and I just arrived at the door of Qianyue Xuan, and I came in by the way to ask the second sister for a cup of tea." ”
Yingge on the side looked at Jin Nian, her eyes flashed slightly: Miss is lying now, and she can no longer blush and her heart beat!
Qianyuexuan happened to be on the side of the road to Xin Xintang, Su Jinyan did not doubt him, and warmly invited her in and ordered the maid to serve tea.
The two sat at the desk and talked, Jin Nian suddenly "huh", as if she had inadvertently remembered something, she asked Su Jinyan: "Chun Yan has already been released, I don't know what news has come from the eldest brother?" ”
Su Jinyan shook her head: "After the eldest brother arrived in the capital, he only sent a letter of peace back, and I don't know what happened to him in the capital." ”
In this way, the second cousin doesn't know when the eldest brother will return to Yangzhou?
Jin Nian was a little disappointed, and thought that no matter what, Su Ziang should be able to return to Yangzhou before June, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the eldest brother likes, when the eldest brother comes back, I have to prepare a gift for him." ”
Jingli has only released the list in the past few days, and the news should be about to spread back to Yangzhou. In his previous life, Su Ziang was unsuccessful, but after being reborn, some things are different from his previous life, maybe he can go to high school this year, so she should send a gift to congratulate him.
She didn't know much about this lobby brother, she only knew that he had a very good relationship with Gu Yanyi, and later the two were still the same Jinshi and officials in the same dynasty. As for what kind of preferences he has, she really doesn't know.
Su Jinyan was a little uncertain and said, "Big brother may like some pen and ink or something!" ”
It's all things that can be used by scholars, Jin Nian smiled happily and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare a set of pen and ink for my eldest brother." ”
Although sending pen and ink is a bit decent, it is absolutely not wrong. Moreover, she is not very familiar with this cousin, and giving him what he likes will arouse his suspicion.
It wasn't until it was getting late that Jin Nian returned to the mirror flower building.
She walked very slowly on the bluestone slab, thinking about what excuse to use to ask Su Ziang about Anjushi as she walked? Do you want to try your luck in the study yourself, maybe you can meet Nian Anjushi?
It wasn't until she entered the wing room that she stopped her whimsical thoughts, and hurriedly asked Yingge to cover the door, and then asked Zhengse: "Yingge, what you asked you to check before, do you have eyebrows?" ”
If the eldest brother really came back in June, she couldn't sit and wait for more than two months, besides, what if the eldest brother didn't know Nian Anjushi?
Last month, she asked Yingge to check the changes in the servants in each room, and found out the women who were between the ages of 30 and 45, and she didn't know how the girl was going.
Yingge was a little frustrated: "After two months of busy work, the slave maid only clarified the servants in the second and fourth rooms, and the big room and Ronghuatang have not been sorted out. ”
Jin Nian is clear, the Liu family has presided over the feed for many years, and has taken care of the Su Mansion in an orderly manner, and the means of controlling it must be clear, and the servants and maids have inadvertently made deep friends with Yingge.
As for the old lady, as the most dignified place in the backyard, Yingge didn't dare to inquire rashly.
Even though he knew that these were the truths, Jin Nian couldn't help but sigh.
What Brother Ying said is only in the house, not counting the wedding granges and shops of the ladies in each room, as well as the ...... in the outer courtyard Thinking of this, Su Jinnian felt that his head was extremely big, and he couldn't wait for more powerful people around him.
Seeing that her young lady was a little depressed, Yingge blamed herself: "It's all to blame for the incompetence of the slave maid." ”
Jin Nian sighed and waved his hand: "It's already very fast." Let's talk about the second and fourth rooms. ”
Yingge sorted out her thoughts, and then said softly: "Each room is subdivided into fortifications, the rough yard, the pantry, the kitchen, the pulp washing room, the doorkeeper, as well as the mother and the big maid in the flower room and the lady's house, etc., add up, there are thirty-eight people in the second room, and there are more people in the fourth room, there are forty-six people, these do not include the aunts in each room, and the aunts are each equipped with ten people, and then each lady's yard is also equipped with ......."
Yingge's mouth closed and reported, Jin Nian only felt that her head was "buzzing", she endured her irritability, patiently listened to Yingge's report, and then asked: "Among these people, how many servants are qualified to be between the ages of thirty and forty-five?" ”
"Sixty-six."
So much! Jin Nian couldn't keep her mouth shut for a long time in surprise, this doesn't include Dafang and Ronghuatang, if she is asked to investigate one by one, it will take a lot of effort!
I wonder if there will be a roster from the eldest lady? According to her current method, it is really time-consuming and laborious, and the effect is not significant.
Her fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, her mind spinning rapidly, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Ling had painted several portraits of three points that were similar.
She hurriedly went to look through her schoolbag, and saw that the rice papers were neatly folded and sandwiched in the books, and she picked out one of the most similar ones and handed it to Yingge: "Do you think there are people similar to this?" ”
