Hearing this, You Shi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law has been taught!" It's just that I didn't expect that these two girls were not only hard-fated, but also so stupid because of a blessing in disguise! There is such a fuss today, which is really unexpected. ”

Luo Qingchu on the side spoke: "Don't grandmothers and mothers think that the second sister is too strange? How can this originally stupid person say that it would be good to get better? "When she was at the door yesterday, she stood far away, not to tell what was happening. After returning to his yard, he also thought about the signing of the document in the Bairi Taoist Temple, and did not pay attention to the affairs of the fourth room.

Today, she didn't suddenly change as if she was a person, Luo Qingqian was taken aback, but in retrospect, she always felt that something was wrong.

You Shi said: "She said that she was guided by the Buddha in Jingguo Temple to open up her spiritual wisdom. Could it be that we can't be deceived? Or have you been pretending to be fake for so many years? "Thinking that if Luo Qingqian has pretended to be a child all these years, he feels impossible.

Old Madam Luo, who was on the soft floor, shook her head, frowned and said to You Shi: "It was impossible to pretend to be fake before, how could it not be seen for so many years." Besides, how could such a flower-like daughter pretend to be a fool and be humiliated and bullied. When you came back from the temple, you only said that the girl had a high fever and stayed there, isn't it a fake one who came back today? ”

Luo Qingchu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Grandmother, Qingchu doesn't seem to be fake. Although Qingchu didn't get along with her second sister for a long time, she also knew her well. In addition to the difference in speech and demeanor, today's second sister has the same body shape and appearance as her before, and even Qingchu saw the original birthmark on her arm. Unless they are twins, they will never look alike. ”

At this time, Mrs. Luo was finally a little uncalm, she looked at the henchmen around her who were in the two rooms, and said, "Could it be that she was really enlightened by the Buddha?" "Is Jingguo Temple so effective? If this is the case, isn't the second girl of Luo a person blessed by the Buddha?

Luo Qingchu said: "It's hard to say. I heard that the second sister experienced a robbery on the way back to the city. He also escaped into the woods. If it's not the Buddha, it's a spirit......"

"Amitabha!" Hearing this, You Shi suddenly felt a shock in his body, looked at Luo Qingchu and said, "My good girl, this matter can't be speculated. ”

Old Madam Luo nodded when she heard this: "What this girl said at the beginning of Qingchu also makes sense. Before we can't think of a good way, it's better for this Luo Er girl to provoke less. ”

"Yes, granddaughter knows!" Luo Qingchu bowed slightly and said yes. There was a dark color in his eyes.

Luo Qingchu and You Shi talked to Old Lady Luo for a while before leaving the courtyard together, and the mother and daughter came to the courtyard of the eldest lady together.

Since Luo Qingchu was about to meet the family, the eldest lady You began to teach her how to manage the affairs of the family, including checking the accounts, distributing the monthly calendar, etc., and the place where the two of them usually dealt with these things was in the eldest lady's house.

After the two came to the house and sat down, the maid was busy bringing all kinds of refreshments to the eldest lady, and the housekeeper was busy sending this month's account books to the kang table.

Seeing this, You Shi knew that Luo Qingchu had something to ask, so he said, "What does Qingchu have to say?" ”

Luo Qingchu held the green jade teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "Mother, the child has indeed always had something I don't understand. Since grandmother didn't like the fourth uncle's family, why didn't she send them away early? It's been so long since my grandfather passed away, doesn't the family have to see them all day? ”

You Shi smiled slightly when he heard this: "It turns out that you are asking about this." It's a long story, so I'll show you this first. These days, you're also looking at some accounts to see if you can see what is famous? ”

You Shi did not answer Luo Qingchu's question directly, but picked out two books from a pile of account books and handed them to her to check.

Luo Qingchu frowned, put the account book in his hand and looked at it carefully, then put it on the table and said: "These two books record the various business turnover income of our Luo family, and now it seems. Only four of the shops have good business and have always been profitable. However, the income of other shops is not stable, and some shops can only ensure that they break even. ”

You Shi nodded and said, "You're right, that's exactly what you said." And do you know who these shops are? ”

Luo Qingchu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Aren't these the Luo family's shops?" ”

Luo Qingchu knew that his grandfather was just a cloth cloth at the beginning, and in addition to being able to achieve the position of Shangshu, he also had a lot of efforts from his grandmother's mother, the Wang family. Therefore, the so-called shops of the Luo family are basically derived from the shops that Mrs. Luo married at the beginning.

You Shi smiled and said, "Naturally, they are all from Luo's." However, there are four shops here, which are given by the emperor. ”

"Imperial Merchant Shop?" This time, Luo Qingqian was a little surprised.

She only knew that the emperor gave the fourth uncle's biological mother to be her grandfather's wife, and this was the second branch of Luofu. But this emperor not only gave marriage, but also gave the imperial merchant shop, which is really unimaginable.

You Shi nodded and said: "Although this shop is now under the name of the Luo family, and the monthly and annual income is also assigned to the Luo Mansion, but when your grandfather passed away, he found a county official as a witness, if the family is divided, the four imperial shops must be assigned to your fourth uncle's name, and the rest will be distributed by your grandmother." You also know from the account books that the rest of the shops have limited income, and Luofu has a huge family business, counting on this little income, where it can. So these four shops are still very important to Luofu! If it weren't for this, there would be four rooms still hanging around in Luofu! Your grandmother has already swept them out of the house! ”

Luo Qingchu picked up the account book again and flipped it up, and Liu Mei frowned slightly: "There are only a few imperial merchants in the imperial dynasty, these four shops will not be under the name of the Mu family, right?" ”

Seeing that his daughter was so smart, You Shi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes and said, "My son is really smart, and he can guess it!" If it weren't for the Mu family's industry, why do you think Mu Yubin would have the opportunity to have so many contacts with our Luo family. Even if your cousin Yichen is friends with him, it is estimated that they will not look down on our Luofu. ”

Luo Qingchu didn't agree with her mother's words, but she could see that Mu Yubin's affection for Luo Qingqian had gone beyond caring for her friend's sister. It's just that everyone doesn't think that this is a marriage that can be made, after all, Luo Qingqian is a fool, how can the queen's own brother marry a stupid woman to enter the door?

But now Luo Qingchu doesn't think so, if Luo Qingqian returns to normal, it is estimated that the first person to come to the door to propose marriage is Mu Yubin! Bowing his head slightly, Luo Qingchu suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

She said that Mu Yubin is such a jade tree in the wind, how could a gentle and elegant person fall in love with Luo Qingqian's stupid woman, even if she has a face that captivates the country and the city, it is just a flower shelf, it is still broken when touched, and it can only be seen!

Now that I think about it, Mu Yubin may not only be interested in Luo Qingqian, but the four shops behind Luo Qingqian! If Mu Yubin comes to ask to marry a four-room concubine, then at least two royal shops are required for marriage. At that time, even if my grandmother is reluctant, she will still give it if she can climb the big tree of the Mu family!

Now that Luo Qingqian's mind has recovered, she is even more charming than before, which is definitely her biggest threat. The two want to have the same birthday, and they will be in two months, and this year's draft is in four months. If she can push it, maybe she can let the Mu family decide the family affairs earlier, then the draft will definitely be missing Luo Qingqian!

Thinking of this, Luo Qingchu raised his head and said to You Shi: "Mother, do you know why Mu Yubin always likes to run to our Luo Mansion?" ”

You Shi was puzzled: "He is an official in the same dynasty as your father, and he is also your cousin's friend, so it is normal to have contacts. ”

Luo Qingchu shook his head and said, "That's just an excuse!" Mu Yubin came to Luofu for the second sister. ”

You shook his head in disbelief and said, "How come? Luo Qingqian was a fool before! ”

Luo Qingchu smiled and told her mother what she had observed and thought of before.

You Shi was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Is this feasible?" If the two families get married, wouldn't the four rooms be higher than ours! ”

Luo Qingchu said: "Mother, if my daughter succeeds in the draft, she will enter the palace!" ”
