Song Yao returned to the old mansion, but he didn't bring too many things.

Except for some daily uses, they all stayed in the Song Mansion.

Rao is like this, Song Yao called the two little guys' things, and also pulled three carriages, there are dozens of cages.

After receiving Song Yao's order, Red Sleeves first counted the valuables in the treasury and Yuqiong Garden, and then asked the housekeeper for all the account books of Yuqiong Garden, including the account books of the first year after the construction of Yuqiong Garden.

Red Sleeves has a task on his side, and the things he serves in close proximity are done by Cha Xing, which is also to better protect Song Yao.

"Mama, that red sleeve seems to be a shrewd person, will he notice something?" Song Yuyao's original big girl, Mingliu, was a little worried.

"It's just a little girl, if we can find out that there is a problem with the account book so many years ago, we won't be wronged." Mama Zhang dusted off the non-existent dust on her body, glanced at Mingliu and said, "It's the eldest lady, I don't look as easy to fool as before, you have to find a way to win her trust, otherwise we won't have a good life in the future." ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Song Yao is in the Yun family's Yafeng Garden, and the mother-in-law in charge is also surnamed Zhang, but the demeanor of the two can be seen that they are not of the same rank at all.

"The slave understands." Mingliu nodded, his eyes flickering.

They were also involved in the events of the past, and it is not easy to live to this day.

And if you want to live longer, then the eldest lady can't stay.

Thinking of the savings in her hand, Ming Liu's eyes were a little fiercer, she was eighteen years old, and she could have been released to marry before the end of the year, and her cousin was still waiting to marry her.

But when the eldest lady comes back at this time, the lady will not dare to let her leave, for the sake of her future good life, she must get rid of the eldest lady.

Mama Zhang glanced at Ming Liu quietly, and when she saw her ruthlessness, she sneered in her heart.

They are all people bought by Mrs. Song, and in this life, apart from being loyal to Mrs. Song, there is no way to live at all.

Unlike Mingliu, Mama Zhang has no chance to leave the house, her son is still working as a housekeeper in the shop, and the family's deed of sale is in the hands of Mrs. Song.

When it was time for dinner, Red Sleeves had only been checking the account books for a few years, but he also found some problems.

It's just that the ledger is very measured, and even if Red Sleeves finds out, after so many years, I'm afraid there is no evidence to explain anything.

At most, the subordinates in the courtyard were not rigorous enough to persuade the little master to squander things, which was not a big deal, at most it was a lesson.

"Madam, the slave maid has looked at the account books for a few years, and if there are some things, they are not extremely valuable, but they add up to tens of thousands of taels of silver, but they all have the handprints or signatures of the lady, and they also indicate who they gave them to, and they cannot be recovered." Red Sleeves said in a low voice: "In terms of silver, because the lady was still young at that time, there was no silver left every month, and the silver would be less than one or two thousand taels every year, and I remembered the whereabouts clearly. ”

Song Yao sneered, knowing what the red sleeves meant.

The original owner lived in this courtyard after he was born, and he had a lot of good things in his hands.

Although she is just a little girl, she is the only little master in the house, and the mother of the original owner has left so many dowries, which are naturally placed in her yard.

In terms of gold and silver, Mama Zhang is not easy to start, and one or two thousand taels is not eye-catching.

As for the items that are not there, they are all gold and silver jewelry, and they are not the kind of valuable, so there is no way to find them.

"Don't worry, you can check slowly." Song Yao took a sip of tea.

The treasury has been taken over, and a new book has been listed, so there is no hurry to check the accounts.

After checking the accounts for a day, Song Yao asked her to go down to rest.

Tonight is Song Yao's first dinner when she comes back, and she wants the whole family to sit together and have a reunion dinner.

Thinking of Mrs. Song, who had never dealt with her head-on, the corners of Song Yao's mouth hooked up with a sneer.

These subordinates in Yuqiongyuan are just small fish and shrimp, and the people Song Yao really wants to solve are the ones Mrs. Song.

Song Ge Lao must be a courtier, even if he wants to get along with his daughter more, but where his duty lies, it is impossible to stay in the mansion all day.

Song Zhiyuan was invited to go out today, although he was in a hurry as much as possible, he only returned to Song Mansion after afternoon tea, and rushed to see Song Yao as soon as possible.

"Is my sister still used to it in Yuqiongyuan?" Song Zhiyuan's first sentence was concern.

"The person who is close to him remains the same, but he has changed his residence, and he is used to it." Song Yao smiled lightly and poured a cup of tea for Song Zhiyuan, "Spring is early, brother should remember to drink more water, it is good for the body." ”

After all, they are not brothers and sisters, and they are both adults, so when the two chatted, the door of the flower hall was open.

There are people cleaning in the courtyard, and there is Ming Liu sitting under the corridor, and the two of them can't talk too clearly.

"My sister is used to it, if there is someone who is incompetent, just tell my father and sell it." Song Zhiyuan looked out the door with cold eyes.

As long as you are not a fool, you can find that the servants who cleaned, as well as Ming Liu who sat under the porch, were obviously people with other thoughts.

There are many subordinates in the high-ranking families, and it is inevitable to have such unfaithful servants, but they should also be low-key, not so blatant.

Song Yao chuckled, shook his head at Song Zhiyuan, and gave him a reassuring look.

After all, it is in the old mansion, if you drive away all the previous subordinates, I am afraid that there will be bad rumors, and even Song Ge Lao will feel uncomfortable.

It's not that Song Ge Lao will feel that his daughter is guarding against him, but it is inevitable that he feels that he has not done enough, or that Song Yao does not regard Ge Lao's Mansion as his home.

The most important thing is that the people brought by Song Yao will definitely be rejected by the subordinates of the old mansion, and they will also be tied up at that time, so it is better to keep a few people with obvious problems here.

"My father said that he would come back early today, and we would get together as a family." Song Zhiyuan changed the topic and asked, "After my sister comes back, can I go to my mother's yard to see it?" ”

"Not yet." Song Yao shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired of things today, let's go over tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, I've been to my mother's yard, it's very elegant, but it's not as delicate as my sister's Jade Qiongyuan. If my sister doesn't mind, I'll take you over tomorrow for my brother. Song Zhiyuan said.

"Okay, then there's Brother Lao." Song Yao smiled and nodded.

For Mrs. Song, the brother and sister tacitly ignored it, and no one mentioned half a sentence.

Song Zhiyuan sat for a while, drank a cup of tea and went back to his yard.

After staying outside for a short day, I had to wash and change my clothes before I could go to the family dinner.

Treasure Garden.

Mrs. Song sat in the small flower hall all day, not knowing whether to wait for Song Yao to come to see her stepmother, or for someone to come and pass a message to her.

Zhen Garden is also one of the main courtyards, but compared to the late Mrs. Song's Tongxin Garden and Song Yuyao's Yuqiong Garden, this Zhen Garden is indeed less, and the location is further back, although the layout is gorgeous, it is not as good as the other two courtyards.

And Zhenyuan is next to Yuqiong Garden, and Song Ge Lao asked her to live here in order to take care of Song Yuyao conveniently.

"Madam, drink a bowl of lotus seed soup, the old slave just brought it from the kitchen." Mama Hong saw that Mrs. Song's face was gloomy, worried that her master's body would not be able to bear it, and persuaded her: "You haven't eaten for a day, this body can't stand it, it's not worth it for that little slut." ”

"Mama, the master really doesn't have me at all in his heart." Mrs. Song said hatefully: "When that little slut comes back, the people of the entire Pavilion Old Mansion will go to greet him, and even Song Zhiyuan's slut will also follow to pick up people." But our Zhenyuan has been forgotten like this, I, the housewife, seem to be strangers, and the master is slapping me in the face! ”

"Madame......" Mama Hong was distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Song Ge Lao's attitude was obvious, and he really didn't intend to let Mrs. Song show up.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Song is a stepmother, and it makes sense not to pick up Song Yao back to her house.

But after Song Yao returned home, she didn't come to see her stepmother, which was not polite.

But Song Ge's old style obviously means this, the subordinates in the house are all steered by the wind, who will obey orders in the future?

Mrs. Song has been in business for so many years before she really holds the Song Mansion in her hands, and now Song Yao has just come back, and the situation has changed greatly.

Don't say that Mrs. Song is angry, even Mama Hong also thinks that Song Ge has gone too far.

It's just that the master and servant seem to have forgotten, if it weren't for what they did, Song Yuyao would have been married a long time ago, so how could she return to the old mansion again?

"Since the day he married me, I have been an ornament, in addition to handling the middle feed, that is, serving Song Yuyao. For so many years, my existence is just an old mother in the name of Mrs. Song, he is really a merciless man! The hatred in Mrs. Song's heart was a little more, and the hand holding the Jinpa turned white due to excessive mediocrity, "Mama, this is the man I have liked all my life, how can he be so cruel to me?" ”

Faced with Mrs. Song's questioning, Mama Hong couldn't answer.

No matter how cruel Song Ge Lao was, his master's mind could not be recovered.

Moreover, at Mrs. Song's age, could she ask for a letter of resignation and marry again?

Even if Mrs. Song used to be a famous lady, it is difficult to find a good match if she remarries, and Mrs. Song was injured back then, and it is impossible to have any more children.

Mama Hong's heart turned back and forth, but in the end she just turned into a sigh, serving her master all her life, but there was not much she could do.

Palace.

Song Ge Lao found his daughter who had been missing for many years, such a big thing, as long as anyone who paid attention to the previous dynasty would know.

And Song Yao's fame is so big, she doesn't need to deliberately investigate at all to know those things on the surface.

Many people are envious, jealous and hateful to Song Yao, not only do they have so much wealth, but now they have the dowry of the late Mrs. Song, and the wealth is even more amazing, even if the private property of the concubines in the palace is combined, it may not be as much as Song Yao.

You must know that the harem concubines are not allowed to run their own business, which is also the reason why the concubines have to consider the family wholeheartedly, and only with the support of the family, their life in the palace will be better.

Counting on the example silver, don't say that it is to buy the palace people, even if you reward your own henchmen, you can't get the money, how can you stand firm?

And the person who pays the most attention to Song Yao is Song Ge's old daughter is the queen.

"Since she is the daughter of Song Ge Lao, the birthday banquet of this palace will also let Song Yao enter the palace." The queen smiled meaningfully and added, "Doesn't Song Yao have two sons?" Let's also enter the palace together, but I heard that Song Yao's son is also a monster. ”

Although Ping Xue is the queen's confidant, she doesn't know the core secrets, and when she heard the words, she thought that the queen treated Song Yao differently, thinking that she wanted to sell Song Yao a little face, and maybe she could get some benefits in the future.

However, Mama Shen understood, glanced at the cautious Ping Xue and said, "Ping Xue will go to the Pavilion Mansion tomorrow and do this matter personally." ”

"Yes." Ping Xue hurriedly responded, thinking that she could get a lot of rewards this time, and her heart was happy.
