Chapter 55: In charge

After hesitating, the maid guarding the door of Chaohui Courtyard had already greeted her, "Fifth girl, seventh girl, the second master just went in." "I guess there's something to say.

Hua Jin and Hua Wei could only stand outside and wait.

Suddenly, Xichun opened the curtain with a smile and greeted him, "Mrs. Tai invited the two girls in." ”

The two followed behind Xichun, and met the second master who came out of the East Warm Pavilion, and saw that their sisters had no intention of staying.

"Father." Huajin Huawei stepped forward and saluted.

Zhang Yufeng only nodded lightly, and walked out of Chaohui Courtyard quickly.

Hua Jin's gaze followed Zhang Yufeng until his back disappeared.

She, the father, finally did one thing right today, that is, he deprived Luo of his stewardship

turned his eyes back, and saw Hua Wei's little face that looked like Zhang Yufeng, and the sharp tone just now echoed in his ears.

It turns out that the seventh sister Hua Wei is already very good at acting at a young age.

…………

Today, Hua Chen went out half an hour late, got into the carriage and left the inner city, so he asked the coachman to hurry up.

Even so, I arrived at Lutong Academy half an hour later than usual.

Carrying the schoolbag sewn by his sister on his back, he jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the gate of the college.

"Zhang Gongzi ......" only walked a few steps before he heard someone calling him behind him.

This cold voice is about to make people tremble, except for the dignified Xuanfei Xuangongzi, who else can there be?

Hua Chen was overjoyed when he heard this voice, stopped and smiled and turned to greet him, "Brother Xuan!" ”

Xuan Fei is still wearing a dark robe, and in this winter, it is even more cold and dusty, and his body seems to be able to exude cold.

His face, although perfect and impeccable, could not show the slightest expression, which was somewhat similar to the stone forest around the academy.

Hua Chen didn't care, continued to smile, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Xuan, have you come back from Leling?" After thinking about it, he added: "When did Brother Xuan come back?" ”

Xuan Fei only nodded slightly, "I have already inquired about the matter you entrusted me." ”

"Oh?" Hua Chen was interested, "Brother Xuan, can you tell me carefully?" ”

Xuan Fei bowed slightly, and when he spoke, there was still no expression on his handsome face, and his thin lips were a little indifferent, and his thin lips moved up and down, "There have been seven or eight little maids in the Marquis of Jingning's mansion for no reason. ”

Hua Chen still wanted to talk to Xuan Fei while walking, but saw that he had walked past him quickly and went straight to the gate of the academy. Just as he walked past him, his eyes lingered on his bookbag for a moment again.

"That's leaving?" Hua Chen said helplessly. But he didn't catch up, he touched his bookbag, and thought about Xuan Fei's words again: The second brother-in-law Zhao Xin's family has disappeared seven or eight little maids for no reason?

Hua Chen has not heard that many men in ancient times had a good male style.

He even guessed whether Zhao Xin was a good man.

But now?

Could it be that Zhao Xin is cruel, and the maid will ...... them if there is a slight inappropriateness Hua Chen actually thought of the crime scene of the detective suspense film he had seen in his previous life.

Suddenly remembering the bloody images in his mind, Hua Chen couldn't help but shake his head and drive away those images.

can think of the second sister Hua Hui and Zhao Xin's murderous person living together all day long, and there is a lot of sympathy in my heart.

"Zhang Gongzi." Another voice interrupted his thoughts, but it was much warmer than before.

Hua Chen looked up and saw Si Mo, a scholar from Lutong Academy, standing in front of the open gate of the academy, as if waiting for him.

"Simo, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. said to let you go to his study." Si Mo was dressed in white, and he was spotlessly clean.

"Now?"

"Of course." Although Si Mo is just a little scholar in the academy, he is born with a noble and arrogant spirit.

Hua Chen muttered in a low voice: "It's solving a math problem again, this time it's a multi-element equation?" ”

I have been studying at Lutong Academy for a while, but I didn't expect that the great Confucian would often give him some math problems to solve, and he never got tired of it.

Hua Chen raised his leg and walked towards Liu Ba's green bamboo building, but in his mind, he was thinking that Xuan Fei had helped again this time, and he should say something more.

I flipped through my book bag and saw that I had enough silver tickets, so I decided that when class was over, I must ask Xuanfei to go to Yinxinglou, the best restaurant in the city, to rub it to show my gratitude.

He's been in this world for more than two months, and he's never been to a restaurant.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously threw away all his troubles again, and pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile.

…………

At the end of the year, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Although it was a sunny day, the cold wind still hurt on the face, making people want to drill into the house.

When the sun rises high, the bluestone corridor in the Honghun courtyard reflects the light, and even the feet on it are not so cold.

At this time, the maids and servants in the courtyard were all in a hurry, and they were also beating drums in their hearts: I didn't expect that in just one morning, the stewardship of this Honghun courtyard would change hands. It's just that the five girls, who are only twelve years old, are usually pampered, can they be a good family?

There are also those who are oily and slippery, and at this moment they simply hid in the back cover room to hide and relax, thinking in their hearts that these five girls have no housekeeping experience, and they will be better lazy in the future.

At this time, Huajin is still the same as yesterday, and after breakfast, he sat on the big kang by the window and drank tea.

She picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, and the heat mixed with the fragrance of tea spread, straight into the nostrils, and the tea leaves in the teacup stretched out, making people feel unhappy to see.

As soon as she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, Yanran came in and said, "Fifth girl, Sister Yuqing next to the second lady is here." ”

Hua Jin put down the teacup and bowed slightly, "Call her in." ”

The curtain was raised high, Yuqing walked in slowly, first gave Hua Jin a salute, and then put the red lacquer and gold box that she had been holding in her arms on the kang table, "Fifth girl, this is the second lady asked the slave maid to send you over, it is the account book, the roster, the key and the pair of cards in our second room." ”

Hua Jin gently rubbed the embossed holly pattern on the tea cup with his fingers, still silent.

"Fifth girl, the second lady said that she is now confined in the main house and cannot go out for half a step, and the affairs of this Honghun Courtyard depend entirely on the girl."

Hua Jin only smiled faintly, but he didn't look at the box, "Every morning and dusk, if you don't understand anything, you will naturally consult your mother." ”

Yuqing blessed her body again, "Then the slave will go back to the second lady." ”

Hua Jin asked Yanran to send Yuqing, and then instructed Bai Tao and Zhi Tao, who were standing beside him, to "Open the box and count the items inside." ”

Bai Tao opened the box, and Zhi Tao counted the contents as they were, "Fifth girl, as Sister Yuqing said, there are the keys to the treasury, the pair of cards for the slaves and maids to receive the items, as well as a few account books and a list of slaves and maids. ”

Hua Jin bowed his head slightly, and ordered: "Take out two pairs of cards first." ”
