Chapter 41: The Housekeeper's Errand
The more Baili Jiu thought about it, the more annoyed he was that Qin Darling outside the door had come at an inopportune time, so he opened the door with a gloomy face, blocked the messy Qin Darling from the door, and rebuked him extremely unhappily: "It's best if you can give me a hundred thousand reasons to be anxious." ”
Seeing that he was displeased, Qin Darling couldn't help but take a step back, a little nervous: "What about Lin Nuoya?" ”
"She's tired and resting."
"She can still sleep peacefully?" Qin Darling's voice was like a rooster whose neck had been pinched, and she was angry.
"Be quiet or keep your mouth shut!" Bailijiu was in a very irritable mood, and no longer coaxed her softly as usual.
Qin Bao'er was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and jumped up in an instant: "Are you protecting her?" You promised to give me an explanation. ”
Baili Jiu finally lost his patience, and clamped Qin Darling's chin with one hand, just as fierce as he had originally suppressed Nuoya in Hongbin Tower. His eyes were a little scarlet because of the wine. Immediately frightened Qin Bao'er, and his eyes widened in horror.
"Qin Bao'er, can you grow your brain, how many people have told you, Lin Nuoya didn't have time at all yesterday, and besides, how stupid is she to go to your Shangshu Mansion to blatantly poison you? Why don't you want to think about it? ”
"Maybe, maybe that's where she's clever, she's playing tricks." Qin Bao'er stumbled in her defense, obviously losing her initial confidence.
"Shicai is at the gate of the General's Mansion, I saved face for you, but I just want to calm things down for a while, and give you time to calm down and think about it. If you were someone else and ran to the door of my general's mansion to make trouble, what do you think, just by virtue of the bastard temperament of the ninth master? ”
Qin Bao'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cried out with a wow: "My appearance is completely ruined, it's just that you don't feel distressed, and you still murder me like this?" Baili Jiu, are you worthy of my thoughts about you? ”
Baili Jiu smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and shook her off in disgust: "Qin Bao'er, when you and An Ruoxi married into my general's mansion, how did I persuade you, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right?" I've said all the ugly things in front, and I was originally a ruthless person who liked the new and hated the old, and abandoned it from the beginning. It was you who were obsessed with it, and even unscrupulous means to let the queen pressure my mother and force me to marry you. I've never been uncomfortable with you, it's just that you don't think about yourself and pay for your thoughts. ”
In front of so many subordinates, Baili Jiu didn't leave any affection at all, Qin Darling gritted her teeth in shame, and brushed her sleeves angrily: "You mean to say that I am all to blame for today's trouble, and if you favor that slut, you won't be the master for me, right?" ”
"I'm willing to investigate this matter myself and clear Noah's innocence. As long as your Shangshu Mansion agrees with me to intervene and enter your Qin Mansion to investigate the specific reasons for the subordinate's situation at that time, I will not be verbose and go immediately! ”
Qin Bao'er was choked for a while, if she nodded and agreed, how could she have the face of Qin Mansion? If you don't agree, how can you be willing?
"Where do you still need to interrogate this matter, it's all obvious, what I saw with my own eyes can be fake? You only need to interrogate that woman, and if you can't get through it, you will be recruited, can you use such a lot of trouble? But a slut who came out of the green building is also worthy of her protection like this? Qin Bao'er was angry, and he didn't choose his words.
Baili Jiu's face suddenly turned cold, his thin lips were pursed, and a sharp cold blade shot out of his eyes: "Are you forcing me to take you back to Shangshu Mansion?" ”
Qin Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and then hysterical: "You want to drive me away?" I won't leave! Baili Jiu, I can't ask for an explanation for this matter, and I will definitely not give up. I just want to see what kind of fate you will end up with when you are confused by this slut! We'll see! ”
After saying that, he turned around, and saw that the maid behind him was still watching this farce dumbfounded, and he was angry, and raised his hand to slap him: "Don't get out of here!" ”
The servant was scolded for no reason, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, lowered her head in a panic, and hurriedly followed behind her.
Baili Jiu shook his head, feeling that he was getting more and more angry when he faced Qin Darling recently, and he clearly and secretly warned himself that he couldn't get angry, and if he was calm, why couldn't he control it? After all, if you don't "do" and don't "rest", it's not yet time to break up.
He waved helplessly at Twilight, "It's okay, you guys go down." ”
The four people retreated in response, Bailijiu turned around and pushed open the door of the house, his mood suddenly cleared up again, and he couldn't wait to complain to Lin Nuoya: "This woman is getting more and more brainless now." ”
The person on the bed was silent, Bailijiu leaned over, Lin Nuoya had already wrapped the quilt tightly, her breathing was shallow, and she was asleep!
Moreover, she clutched her neckline tightly and slept on her stomach!
The sleeping position was quite ecstatic, because of the drink of a lot of wine, the cheeks were red, and the sleeping face was pure, like a newborn baby, which made people unbearable to blaspheme.
Bailijiu instantly had the consciousness of Yanagi Hui, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt, but he couldn't pull it, and then he exerted his strength, and the woman rolled over, wrapped the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis, and continued to sleep soundly.
He shook his head helplessly, thinking that he hadn't gone to see his father yet, so he had to reluctantly cheer up and turn around and go to Haitang Bay.
Noya drank the wine, was more sleepy, and did not get up at night to have dinner, and slept directly until dawn the next day, and the wine faded. Immediately after she had washed up, she went to the housekeeper to sort out all the accounts of yesterday, so that she could report them to the old lady, and explain the housekeeper's errand thoroughly, and she was idle.
The account steward has been cleared, and the gift list of the guests has also been sorted out and counted, and signed by the person in charge. Noya glanced at ten lines, roughly filtered it in her heart, and then went to Haitang Bay with the housekeeper to report to the old lady.
Now An Ruoxi is still recuperating, and Qin Darling is ashamed to go out after her appearance is ruined, so no one has come to ask the old lady to speak, and Haitang Bay is very clean.
After the two of them passed the ceremony, they went inside and gave all the accounts to the old lady, and Noya carefully explained the various names one by one.
The old lady supported her head with her hands and complained with a sad face: "What is written in your account book, it is crooked, messy, and it makes me dizzy when I see it." ”
She has also read the previous account books in the house, and all of them are notation like this, so there is nothing wrong with it? Noya secretly slandered in her heart, this old lady made it clear that she didn't like herself, so even if she tried her best, she couldn't get any benefits.
She suppressed her anger and smiled gently: "Mother said that how to remember is relatively simple and easy to understand, and Noah re-copied it." ”
Yesterday, Noya had already changed her mouth in front of the old lady and called the old general "Dad", so she naturally changed her title, and she was a little awkward when she called it for the first time.
The old lady didn't seem to notice it, and frowned: "It's so dense, I'm dizzy now, and I can't see it for a while." Not to mention that I have to calculate it carefully, where is this what I should do as an old woman? You young people are all lazy, and you can't help but stuff me with a brain, and all of you are black-hearted. ”
The old lady chattered and complained, and the old general who was reading the book on the side heard a voice, turned his head and said: "This year is old, but the years are not forgiving, and it is not good to accept the old." Don't be stubborn. Girl, you can keep this account book for the time being, don't show it to her, save yourself from muttering all the time, and my ears are not clean. ”
Noah didn't want to stay here to see the old lady's face, so she nodded and accepted the ledger.
"Then this expenditure will have to be stamped by Mrs., and I will have to go to the account office to pay the errand." The butler added.
The old lady called her mother-in-law to bring her makeup box over, took out the key from her waist and opened it, took out a purple plain flower bag from it, picked out a jasper carved seal after opening it, and threw it to Lin Nuoya carelessly: "It just so happens that I don't have cinnabar ink here, so you can take it to the account room and cover it, and the housekeeper will naturally explain how to use it." ”
Noya took it in his hand and nodded obediently: "Then I'll send it to you when I'm done in a while." ”
The old lady waved her hand impatiently: "You don't bother to take it every day, I still think you are dangling under my nose to be an eyesore." ”
Noya didn't know where she said the wrong thing, which provoked the old lady's disgust, and took the seal and said goodbye to the housekeeper, still a little angry in her heart.
Out of the gate of Haitang Bay, the housekeeper bowed to her: "Congratulations to Aunt Lin." ”
Noah was stunned: "What to wash?" ”
"Old lady, this is relieved to leave the internal affairs of the entire General's Mansion to you. From now on, you are the lady of the family. The butler said with a smile.
"What?!" Noya seemed to have received a hot potato, and jumped up instantly: "I will continue to manage it in the future?" How can such a thankless errand be deducted from my head?! ”
The housekeeper was a little surprised when he saw her react like this, and he was stunned for a while: "It seems that this master is not a chore, right?" ”
Noya held a pile of account books with a sad face: "After two days of hard work, my feet didn't touch the ground, and in the end, I was beaten with a headless complaint, and I said that it wasn't drudgery?" ”
The steward knew what she was angry about, and couldn't help laughing: "The old lady's temperament will naturally understand after a long time, Aunt Lin will naturally understand, she has supported the entire General's Mansion alone over the years, and the Ninth Master does not listen to her discipline, that is, the knife mouth tofu heart, like to nag two sentences, and if you don't like to listen to a word, it is also angry by the Ninth Master." She seems to be confused, but in fact, her eyes are bright and her heart is bright. She has seen what you have done in the past two days, and she can't help but praise you behind your back, but she is in front of you, and she doesn't want to say anything nice.
The general's mansion is a big family eating, drinking, and Lazar, it is indeed a lot of trivial, and it is also the most test of ability, the old lady is at ease with you, so she will hand over the seal to you for safekeeping. This kind of thing is in our General's Mansion, where is the reason for my aunt's turn to be in charge of the family elsewhere? Aunt Lin, this is a good thing, you have to hurry. ”
