Nanling Mei and Sima Jie exchanged eight characters, and the eight characters matched, and the saint specially gave marriage, and the date was married on the day of Xiaoman, a year and a half later. After receiving the holy decree of marriage from the Holy Lord, the house began to prepare a dowry for Nanling Mei. Unlike the happy mood of everyone in the house, Mama Qian was very uncomfortable in this matter. Strictly speaking, this marriage contract is Nanling Mo's, and now it has become Nanling Mei's...... In private, I secretly blamed the prince for being biased, but I remembered that day the prince seemed to mention that the saint had intended to marry Nanling Mo, but I didn't know who the marriage object was, which added another layer of trouble to her.

Nan Lingmei, under the constant persuasion of the Zhang family, and Sima Jie is indeed a jade tree in the wind, she also knows that it is hopeless to marry His Royal Highness King Li in this life, so she readily accepts this marriage.

On this day, everyone asked the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady Jiang pointed to the account book on the table and said: "Mo'er, these are the dowries left by your mother and concubine, your father should have given you the dowry list, you ask the money in the yard to help you count it." ”

"Yes, grandmother, Mo'er will definitely take a 'careful count'." Nan Lingmo put the accent on the word 'carefully careful', and stared intently at Zhang's face as she spoke, only to see a trace of panic slip in her eyes. After hearing this, Zhang replied with a smile: "The county lord is still young, and he is not familiar with the account books, if the county lord has anything that he can't understand, just come to find a concubine." The concubine will definitely patiently explain to the county lord. ”

Nan Lingmo nodded, let Mei Qian walk back with the account book, and said to Mama Qian as she walked: "Mama Qian, you have the dowry list of the concubine, right?" ”

"Yes," Mama Qian took out a few sheets from her sleeve and handed them to Nanling Mo, who glanced at the dense list and said, "Mama, you can take out the one on the record store and the Zhuangzi and give it to me." Mama Qian picked out a list with the shops and Zhuangzi under the name of the Jiang family. Nan Lingmo looked at the ticked part on it and said, "Is this ticked part already under my brother's name?" ”

"Yes, Lord Shire. There are four shops and two pharmacies in Beijing under the name of the princess, and there are ten Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, as well as some medicine shops from other places. After you were born, the princess ordered the old slave and Sister Zhou to sort out the dowry and divide it into two parts. ”

Mama Qian said as she followed Nanling Mo to the back room, pointed to these lists and said, "The princess used to go on expeditions with the prince all the year round, and she was not much in Beijing. The shops and Zhuangzi in Beijing are both managed by Concubine Zhang. Later, after the princess passed away, the prince took over the share in his hand, and now the prince takes care of the princess's dowry by himself. ”

Nan Lingmo looked at the list seriously and said: "Big brother is really, he only left a pharmacy and a teahouse in the shop in Beijing, and the rest were given to me, but he had to go to the medicine shops in other places......"

Mama Qian nodded: "The prince loves you the most." ”

"In that case, let's go out and have a look, at least know where your shop is!" Nan Lingmo said and prepared to take Mei Xi out, "County Lord, County Lord, you can watch the shop whenever you want, someone will come to the door at a moment today, and the master of the Ming Embroidery Workshop will send you and the clothes you want to wear to the door, please try it!" If there is something inappropriate, it must be corrected. ”

Nanling Mo couldn't, so she could only stay in the courtyard and let Mama Qian take Mei Qian Meixi to count the dowry in the treasury. She herself hurriedly took Cai Yue and Cai Yu to Jian Ling Xuan.

Jian Lingxuan

"Big brother." Nanling Xiao, who was looking at the year-end account book at the desk, heard Nan Lingmo's voice and put down the pen in his hand, looked at his sister with a smile, and the look of pain in his eyes was inadvertently revealed. Nan Lingmo saw him like this and understood that his father must have told him about her marriage.

She took out the list from her sleeve, pointed to the shops above and said, "Big brother, why did you give me all these shops, what should you do yourself?" ”

Nanling Xiao sighed and said with a slight smile, "Not only that, the eldest brother plans to give you the Zhuangzi and the teahouse in the name of Jingzhong." As he spoke, he stuffed the title deeds and account books of the relevant shops to Nanling Mo, "You will marry that person in the future, and it will be good for you to have more properties in the capital." ”

"How's that going to work!! Big brother, you can keep it for yourself when you want to marry a wife in the future. Nanling Mo hurriedly excused himself and resolutely refused to ask for it, Nanling Xiao saw this, so he had no choice but to say: "In this case, I will give you half of the income from the teahouse and Zhuangzi." Nan Lingmo still refused to accept it, and said, "Big brother, if you insist on giving me the proceeds, it is better to help my sister do something else!" ”

"Hear what you think?" Nanling Xiao said seriously.

"Eldest brother, my sister has been in the nunnery for the past few years to guard the filial piety of her mother, that place is in the southwest of the capital, sixty miles away from the capital," Nanling Xiao nodded to indicate that he knew about it, Nanling Mo continued: "Big brother, the town where the nunnery is located is called Hongni Town, and the main reason is that the soil in the town is red soil. Grain production is particularly small, and lettuce melons and fruits are even more difficult to obtain. Mo'er remembered that the county chronicle of Shao County wrote, "Hongni Town is named Hongni Town because the soil is red." Red mud soil is sour, so most of the grain can not be grown, red mud town is the closest to Beijing poor town, always rely on the state treasury appropriation, tax exemption, the people can survive. ’”

Nanling Xiao nodded and said, "That's true, sister, why did you suddenly mention Hongni Town?" ”

Nanling Mo pretended to smile mysteriously: "Big brother, don't you know, when I read the Siyi Zhi, it was said that the people of Xishu once used red clay to burn a high-grade sweet white glaze, which was crystal clear and translucent, and once offered tribute to the first emperor when he was the first emperor." Isn't this red clay just red clay? Our porcelain firing technology is much better than that of a small country in Fanbang, if we can burn white porcelain, then don't we just send it?! Nan Lingmo said as if she had seen a mountain of gold and silver, and her saliva was about to drip down.

"Ahem" Nanling Xiao cleared his throat, reminded Nanling Mo to pay attention to his appearance, and said with a smile: "My sister is planning to open a kiln factory in the nunnery to burn porcelain?" ”

Nanling Mo pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is too blatant, I'm afraid it will alarm the above." I think we can find someone to buy the red mud and put it on our Zhuangzi to burn it first, if it is completed, we will set up a factory in the town of red mud, how about it? ”

Nanling Xiao's eyes lit up and said, "Sister, your method is good, let's give it a try." ”

"When the time comes, I will change one of the shops left by my mother to us into a porcelain shop, specifically for the dignitaries in Beijing, won't we send it then? Hahahahaha......ha

"But big brother, I don't have anyone in my hands, so I have to ask you for this invitation!" Nanling Mo smiled, "When the time comes, we will have half of the income." ”

"Big brother is not short of money, the money belongs to you, and the big brother will invite you. The shops in Beijing need to be rectified, and you have to take a look at the house yourself. When the time comes, tell the eldest brother who you need and how to change it, and the eldest brother will arrange it for you. Nanling Xiao said dotingly.

"Okay~ a word." Nanling Mo was overwhelmed, and now it was lunch time, so he stayed and talked to Nanling Xiao about this new idea while eating to think about the plan.

"County Lord, the mother-in-law of the tooth shop is here, Mama Qian, please go back and pick someone!" Cai Yue came in to report, Nan Lingmo nodded and said that she knew, so she got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Nanling Mo returned to his courtyard, he saw Mrs. Wang leading ten people to wait in the middle.

"Mrs. Wang, where did you go to that musk moon last time?" Nan Lingmo suddenly asked. Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react for a long time, Mama Qian stood aside and repeated it, and Mrs. Wang replied: "Musk Yue, it's really unfortunate that it has been picked by other mansions." Mrs. Wang thought that Nanling Mo wanted such a girl, and said flatteringly: "If the county lord likes such a girl, next time the old slave can tweak/teach a few more such people......"

Nanling Mo interrupted her and said: "No, Mrs. Wang, this county lord is going to tell you that from now on, such people should not be sent to my Zhennan Wangfu, if you find out to this county lord, this county lord doesn't mind letting you sincere people go to Jingzhao Mansion!" Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she hurriedly nodded yes. Nanling Mo got up and nodded two of the ten girls seemingly randomly, and let Mrs. Wang go back.

These two girls look ordinary, but their temperament is different from ordinary girls. Nanling Mo thought to herself: Presumably these two people are the people given to him by King Yun!

"What's the name of the two of you?"

The two saluted and said, "There is no frost/snow on the subordinates, please meet the county lord." ”

"The big girls around me all start with the word 'Mei', since you have entered my Zhennan Wangfu and are on an errand by my side, your name has to be changed, no matter who you were in the past, from this moment on, you are the people of my Lingmo Academy."

"Mei Shuang/Mei Xue has seen the master." The two saluted again. When the two of them were ordered to follow Nanling Mo's side, King Yun made it very clear to them, and in the future, they only recognized Nanling Mo as the master. If the county lord thinks they are not good and wants to expel them, then he will decide on his own. However, as one of the top female secret guards in Yangxiao Hall, their own arrogance still makes them still unconvinced. After all, they have also heard of the name of the county lord of Ren'an, and the two of them privately feel that the county lord of Ren'an is not worthy of their own prince.

Of course, Nanling Mo knew what they were thinking, just as she had just created the Shadow Pavilion in her previous life to subdue everyone. She doesn't care. After all, there is always a way to convince the two of them in the future.

It wasn't until the third quarter of Shen Zheng that Mama Qian came back with Mei Qian Meixi. Nanling Mo introduced Mei Xue and Mei Shuang to the two of them. and according to the rules of the courtyard, the two of them should be custom-made clothes, and arranged for the two to follow Mei Qian and Meixi to familiarize themselves with the people and rules in the house.

Mama Qian took the dowry list back and forth with a pale face: "County Lord, the dowry is all right." Nan Lingmo looked at her and knew that there was something wrong with the dowry.

Mama Qian said in an atmosphere: "County lord, the old slave has passed the dowry, and the things seem to be the same, but they have been replaced, and they look similar on the outside, but there is actually a big difference on the inside." There are also some antique jade ornaments, all of which have been missing. ”

"Oh?" Although Nan Lingmo had already prepared that there would be problems, she was also quite shocked when she saw Mama Qian listing a list of problematic objects. She didn't expect her mother to marry so many treasures.

She asked Mama Qian to take out all the problematic items and seal them in a corner of the warehouse, and said to these ledgers: "I don't know what is in this ledger." ”

Although Nan Lingmo has never learned housekeeping before the age of fifteen in this life, she was Li Yunqing in her previous life, she began to learn to manage the family at the age of twelve, married King Ping at the age of seventeen to manage the palace, and became the queen at the age of twenty-four.

And in this life, although there is the teaching of the ancestors, Nan Lingmo has only learned to read the account book for just one month, at least in the eyes of outsiders, she does not know how to read the account book. So in order to make a show, she still pretended to have a headache.

Mama Qian gave her an idea: "County Lord, why don't you ask the ancestor or the prince for help, and let someone help settle the account books of the past years?" Nan Lingmo nodded and said, "It's too late today, tomorrow, I'll go find my father and grandmother." ”
