Chapter Ninety-Eight: Calculation

"Grandma, the offender honestly refused to say more, saying that he was afraid of affecting people, and said that he asked grandma to stop caring about them. He went out early in the morning to find a place. Chen Dejia continued to report to Xun Qing in a low voice.

It's very innocent to see something you shouldn't see, but it becomes heinous in the eyes of the people involved.

Xun Qing dyed a kumquat and put it in his mouth to eat, and asked casually: "I don't have a thing, did it fall on your house yesterday?"

Chen De's family was shocked, but he was not flustered, "After grandma left, when the slaves were cleaning, they paid special attention, for fear that grandma or a few girls would leave something behind, and there would be nothing." What is it, grandma and the slave talk about it, and the slave will pay attention to find it. ”

"If you don't see it, then it's not yours. I'll just ask. Xun Qingran said, "Since I am in charge of the affairs of the criminal family, there is no reason to give up halfway." Go back and tell them that I can find a way to settle them. ”

"The slave thanked Grandma for her kindness on their behalf."

"You will go to your man in a while, ask him to run to the palace, find the little guy next to the fourth master, called skullcap, tell skullcap what he just said, and let skullcap tell the fourth master. The fourth master will have arrangements. ”

Chen De's family agreed.

"I see that their family is very poor, and there are elderly people who are sick. I have some commonly used pills, and I will give them two rulers and a few taels of silver. You bring it to them. Xun Qingran said, and sent the bellflower to prepare something.

Chen Dejia watched from the side, thoughtful, "Grandma is already a great favor for saving them, and she gave these extra things......"

Xun Qingran smiled, "If they ask, they will say that I see that the two of them are filial, so I will reward them." ”

Chen De's family took the things and said, "There is another thing, yesterday grandma left, and the Yan family came to inquire about the news." The slave didn't say anything about grandma, only that it was the slave who took in the honest family by himself. However, they are still afraid of grandma. I heard from the people next door that the two of them originally planned to occupy the house immediately, but now they didn't dare to move, thinking that they wanted to see how their grandmother acted. ”

The world is like this, and Xun Qingran doesn't care.

"It's good for you to handle it this way." Xun Qingran nodded in approval, and then asked, "You've been doing errands for a few days, but what do you think?" ”

"Grandma Minion's grace, the slave's family has a place to live and a monthly money. What does grandma want the slave to do, the slave will do anything, and any errand is the same in the eyes of the minion, and the slave just wants to do a good job and repay grandma. ”

Xun Qingran nodded, she first arranged for Chen De's family to wash clothes, and seeing that she was a neat person, she switched to sprinkling and sweeping. Compared with the errands of Mama Tong's family, these are rough jobs, but Chen De's family has never complained, they are meticulous in their work, they are a down-to-earth person, and they get along with the subordinates who work together.

Now it's time for another errand for her.

"You will go to the Tong family in a while, I told her and arranged for you to go to the backyard pantry."

The German family respectfully agreed.

Xun Qingran sent Chen De's family out, and gave the bellflower a look, and asked her to order Chen De's family again.

"Grandma, the maid nodded a few words from her, and she looked at it and understood it in her heart." Kikyo came back and replied.

Xun Qingran nodded, frequently changed errands for Chen De's family, and arranged rough work, these are just processes, and they are also smoke. Of course, if Chen De's family is not that material, this process and smoke will become the result.

After a while, Mama Song led a few girls back and forth, Xun Qingran only listened to half of it, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Who kept the clothes I wore yesterday?"

"Back to grandma, it was the maid who took it and was about to send it to the laundry room." Kikyo replied.

Xun Qingran hurriedly sent the others out, leaving only the bellflower.

"You packed it, but what do you see in your clothes?"

"Grandma's clothes, before they are sent to be washed, the maid will carefully check them, and there is nothing in them."

"How can this be, you go and bring the clothes, and I'll see for myself." Xun Qingran said urgently.

Kikyo took the clothes as he said, and the two of them turned the clothes inside and out, and there was really nothing.

"Grandma, what are you looking for, tell the servant, and the servant will help you find it." Kikyo Road.

Xun Qingran didn't care about the bellflower, and called malt, aster and treasure beads again, and closed the door.

Mama Song, Tong's family, Citron, Cai Qin, Xiangxiu, etc. were all outside, but I saw Xun Qingran call a few girls to go in and close the door. There was silence in the room for a while, and then there was the sound of rummaging for something. Everyone was wondering, and the door of Xun Qingran's room opened, and the malt, aster, and treasure beads withdrew, and went back to the west ear room. The expressions on the faces of several girls are not very good-looking.

Then Kikyo came out of the house and walked over to the citron.

"Grandma called my sister in to talk."

Everyone watched as the citron followed Kikyo into the house, and the door was closed again.

When the citron stepped into the house, Xun Qingran was sitting on the kang, with one arm on the kang table, frowning slightly, as if he was a little distressed.

"What do you tell your grandmother to call her servant?" Citron blessed Xun Qing.

"Don't be so inhibited, sit down and talk." Xun Qingran said softly, and asked the bellflower to move a small pestle to the citron.

The citron didn't dare to sit down, and excused himself: "In front of grandma, how can there be a position for a servant." Grandma treats the servants well, and the servants must respect the grandmother even more. Besides, Sister Kikyo is still standing, and the maid is also standing and talking, and grandma has something to say to the maid. ”

Xun Qingran smiled, from the moment she entered the door, looking at these girls in the courtyard, the citron was the most comfortable whether she was talking or doing things. Therefore, she also gives citron the most face.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pay attention to those rules." Xun Qingran said, watching the bellflower sit on the small pestle according to the citon.

"You girl, Ye Zi played the cards very well, and the second grandmother and the third grandmother were so good that they couldn't win against you."

"Grandma won the prize, and yesterday it was just borrowed from grandma's luck. Speaking of this leaf card, I followed the fourth master in the old lady's yard when I was a child, and the old lady often played, and the maid watched from the side, and I also learned some. Grandma is a generous person, don't pay attention to this, don't put this little fight in your eyes, if you are attentive, who can win grandma. ”

Xun Qingran, who said this, also laughed and pointed at the bellflower.

"Listen to the words of the citron, it's really lovely, you have to learn a little bit later. Malt that girl, her mouth is good, but she is too spicy, and she will learn more from citron in the future. ”

"Oh, don't dare, don't dare. Sister Kikyo is gentle and generous, and she has learned a little bit of grandma's bearing. The malt girl is enthusiastic and spicy, so that people only like it. On the contrary, it is a servant, but he is a mediocre person, a little decent, and it is also a grandmother's promotion. ”

Xun Qingran smiled, "You waited in front of me yesterday, but did I drop anything?" ”

"Grandma lost something, what is it? The maidservants were all waiting by the grandmother's side, and they didn't see anything left by the grandmother. Grandma said what it was, and the maid went to grandma to find it. ”

Xun Qingran groaned for a moment, "It's not much of an important thing." Our old lady likes to eat some sweet and soft things, it just so happens that the Xun family's big * milk has a secret recipe, the dim sum made by that recipe, I have eaten, thinking that the old lady must like it, so I asked the Xun family's big * milk to copy a copy to me. I put that square in my sleeve, and I was afraid that when I played the leaf cards, it could land on the table, or on the chair, or somewhere. You're around me, and you want to see it, or you picked it up for me, and you forgot to tell me. ”

"The servant really didn't see it." Citron glanced at the bellflower next to her, "Why don't you go and ask the other people who followed yesterday, do you want to go to the second and third grandmothers?" Even if the two grandmothers didn't see it, maybe the people who followed them did. I am afraid that they are all illiterate like the servants, and even if they see them, they think they are irrelevant objects. I think grandma doesn't want to trouble the two grandmothers because of trivial matters, so it's better for the maid to ask for grandma quietly in private, so as not to alarm people. ”

Citron pointed out at the beginning that she did not serve Xun Qingran alone, and then very subtly said that she was illiterate, completely ruled out her details, and then was willing to inquire quietly in private. Xun Qingran once again confirmed that Citron was really shrewd.

"That's it, it's not a big deal, if you lose it, you lose it, you don't have to mention it to anyone, I'll send someone to copy it again."

Xun Qingran smiled and sent the citron out, and praised: "What a delicate person." And bottomless.

"No, Xiangxiu's girl is a little domineering with the Tong family. A few of them live in the east ear room, and Xiangxiu and Caiqin often quarrel in private, but they have never blushed with Citron. Kikyo said, "Grandma, do you want to ask?" ”

"Of course, you went and called Cai Qin in." Xun Qing said.

Cai Qin followed the bellflower into the house and stood on the ground with her hands down, "Grandma has something to order?" ”

Xun Qingran smiled, and still let the bellflower move the small pestle. Cai Qin gave in slightly, and then sat down.

Xun Qingran looked at Cai Qin's face, this girl's attitude was very calm, and there was a faint hint of arrogance. Xun Qingran is not a ** person, the girls have arrogance, sometimes, for example, when this arrogance and some noble qualities appear together, it is a good thing. Malt is a good example, Xun Qingran has been protecting the arrogant thorns in her body.

But arrogance itself does not always mean nobility.

"I left you for the citron palm eye yesterday, where did you go, and let the citron go out to look for a long time before I came back to you." Xun Qing said.

"If you go back to grandma, grandma won't let the maid follow, and let the maid give the citron a palm. The maid naturally listened to the grandmother's instructions, but the citron said no, let the maid take care of herself. The maid thought that the citron wanted to help the grandmother win the money, and the maid didn't want the maid to share the credit. The maid came out of the room and talked to the little girls in front of the second grandmother. The maid has been waiting outside the door, and the citron came out, not saying that grandma was looking for a maid, and she didn't know where to go and came back after a walk, only to say that grandma wanted to go home. ”

"Oh, that's right." Xun Qingran nodded, and said what Fang had just said to the citron and Cai Qin, "But you found it?" If so, give it to me, and if you get the old lady's reward, you will also have a share. ”
