When Shaohua went back, it was not early, although she was not bumped into going out, but the matter of her coming back from outside with Li Sinian still fell into Ling's ears. But without waiting for the Ling family to come and blame Shaohua, Li Sinian took the initiative to ask the Ling family for guilt, saying that without her consent, he took Shaohua out to buy gifts for Zhou Yan without her consent.

As soon as the Ling family heard that Li Sinian took the initiative to take responsibility, seeing that his identity was not as good as before, and he still had Zhou Yan's name, he didn't say anything. Just nag a few words, people who are about to get married, don't run around, save yourself from provoking right and wrong.

Li Sinian listened respectfully and said some things that Ling liked to hear, which made her happy, and even Shaohua didn't ask again.

After Shaohua learned about it, he was very grateful to Li Sinian, although this time it was a thrill, but it was not good to hear. Fortunately, there was no rumor outside, and I don't know if the rumor was suppressed, or the Li family was too busy to take care of anything else. In short, Shaohua escaped by luck, and specially instructed Chu He not to talk about the events of the day, and then pretended that nothing had happened. It's just that when she went to check on the maid who came in to report that day, she was told that she had already been ransomed by her family and left.

Shaohua thought about it for a while, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the person who was able to blend into the world in his own family also deceived her, it seems that the Ling family's jurisdiction over the subordinates is too lax. So he took the initiative to ask Ling to learn to discipline his subordinates, Ling was surprised, but also secretly happy that Shaohua had finally grown up. There is no doubt that he asked a housekeeper mother surnamed Ji to follow her, and began to recognize people and learn to be a housekeeper.

It's okay if Shaohua doesn't have much of this, because she wants to recognize people, so she will inevitably hold this booklet and ask Ji's mother one by one. Suddenly, I found that there were several people who Ji's mother couldn't remember, and it wasn't that I didn't know them at all, but it seemed that they hadn't appeared for a long time. Shaohua curiously shouted for someone to call those people, but only three of the ten people came, and the other seven did not know where to go.

At first, Shaohua thought that the personnel had been transferred, or he had left the house, and his name was still hanging on it. But when she found out that her monthly money had been spending, she wondered. This is really hanging, I can't find anyone, but the monthly money is still given. Although the status of these people is not high, and they only have one, two or two months of money a month, they are also a lot of expenses, as well as the four seasons of clothes and festivals. And these are only the seven people in the mansion she found out, whether there are other vacancies in them, and there are also those who often run outside the house, then we have to investigate it thoroughly.

Just these seven people, Shaohua studied it carefully, and some people said that those who didn't know where to go were all from Xuyuan. Thinking of Liu's prejudice against Ling, Shaohua didn't tell Ling directly, but took the list and asked Xin Zixuan. Xin Zixuan didn't know much about the personnel of Xuyuan, but she still helped Shaohua ask, but she said that because Li Sinian was going to get married, those people had already been allocated to Taoyuan. Shaohua had no choice but to ask Youhan to inquire about Taoyuan, but Qiu's mother admitted that there was such a thing, but it was just a verbal statement, and no one had sent it yet. Qiu's mother also asked Youhan to come back and ask if there was anyone who wanted to allocate it to them, otherwise the second young lady would definitely not have enough to enter the door.

The more Shaohua thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he had no choice but to take it and ask Ling. When the Ling clan heard this, they immediately became furious, because all the people on the list were the people brought by Yan Sui when they came, and it stands to reason that they were not from the Li family, so they didn't need to give monthly money. However, the Liu family said that there were too many Yichen brothers and sisters, and Xuyuan was short of manpower for a while, so they temporarily put those people in the Liu family in Xuyuan. Since those people are used, it is impossible to say that they will not give the monthly money, and the Ling family will only see a few dozen taels a month, and they also said that they will wait for the Liu family to leave and then liquidate, so they don't care. Unexpectedly, after the liquidation of the Liu family at that time, there were still so many vacant places.

In other words, the monthly money given to the Liu family every month still goes to the Xuyuan account room, but none of them are gone. What's more, because Si Yan and Yichen rushed to take the exam, they took out an extra sum of money every month to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and nourishing products for them, but now they haven't deducted it. was originally busy for Li Sinian's marriage and Wanhua's dowry, and then found that Liu's hands and feet in the account room were moved again, and Ling went to Taiheyuan directly with the account book.

It is said that after Li Ge Lao found out, he was so angry that he called Li Liangxun over and scolded him, what would happen after Li Liangxun went back, no one could guess that Shaohua was embarrassed, she just wanted to find out about the maid, but she didn't expect so many situations to be involved.

In the end, it was Li Sijin and his wife who came to apologize for their parents, but the Ling family didn't have a good temper this time. Li Sijin had no choice but to say that he was willing to hand over all the future money to the account office until the debts owed by the Liu family were paid off. Although the mother and son are in debt, but in the end, they are a family living together, and Liu's control of the account room in Xuyuan is more harsh than Ling's. But she threw herself all into Si Yan, so Li Liangxun and Li Sijin were extremely frugal in food and clothing.

Shaohua hurriedly told the Ling family that if he really agreed to Li Sijin's request, in fact, it was only Li Sijin and his wife who were wronged, so it was better to deduct some from the cost of their room from that month and fill it slowly. Wanhua also followed and persuaded that Li Sijin has always been respectful and friendly to Xiyuan, there is no need to mess with him, and besides, Wanhua will have to ask his brother and sister-in-law to add makeup when he goes out. This made Ling's temper press, and Li Sijin was very grateful to these two sisters.

"Auntie, what if I let my wife know?" Jinhua rubbed his handkerchief and looked at Su Shi, who was leaning on the bed, his face pale and haggard. "Actually, the fifth sister is not too bad for me, if her reputation is gone, how will she marry in the future."

"It's not promising!" Su rarely blamed his daughter like this, and a snort suddenly frightened her. Su Shi narrowed his expression and taught his daughter earnestly: "Think about what treatment you received before she came back, and what treatment you are now." Not to mention anything else, when you were in Pu'an, wasn't it enough for you to be blinded by the Ling family. She grew up in Pu'an, if it weren't for her, the Ling family would have been able to deliberately fall on your father's face. Even if it's not from your wife, you're your father's daughter. ”

Jinhua remembered his days in Pu'an, and immediately became angry.

Seeing that she could understand, Su Shi calmed down, "I don't know what kind of luck she had, even the palace looked down on her." If she really becomes the princess, she will not be able to trample you flat in the future, let her have trouble with Lang Jun of Xingyong Bofu, and see if the palace dares to ask her. ”

"But what if she finally marries into the Xingyong Mansion." Jinhua is also a little jealous of Shaohua, obviously like her, she is for Jilu, but how many people are already worried about it, and they all have heads and faces, and even the palace has come to ask.

Su Shi didn't care, "Who doesn't know that Yan Kaizhi is not interested in women, otherwise at this age, children can make soy sauce, and he still refuses to get married." "With his understanding of men, Su said that people like Yan Kaizhi are unreliable." If you want to say that you are prodigal and lustful, you don't even have a personal concubine, and you refuse to look at each other person again and again, but you are in and out of the Lang Jun of the Marquis of Anqing, isn't this a cat? "In Su's dictionary, it is understandable that men are unwilling to marry, but there is not even a woman, that is abnormal.

"Auntie, the one from the Marquis of Anqing Mansion has already promised to marry." Jinhua whispered.

"So what, do you really think Yan Kaizhi will look down on Wu Niang?" Su Shi lowered his eyes, turned his back to the light, and hid his fierce gaze for a moment. Wanhua's family affairs have been completed, and she can't interfere, but Shaohua is still young. Su thought to herself that the Ling family could actually have the means to make Li Xunzhuo ignore her, and she would definitely not let the Ling family live a comfortable life.

Since Shaohua came back, Su felt that her and Jinhua's status in Xiyuan was getting worse day by day, and they had fallen to this point, although the Ling family was the mastermind, but Shaohua was at least an accomplice. She has worked hard for so many years, and she has tried to please Li Xunzhuo, in order to be on an equal footing with the Ling family and let Jinhua marry beautifully, but now they are all ruined, and the Su family really can't swallow this breath.

"Qi Niang, it's not that your aunt is ruthless, you must know that being soft on others is cruel to yourself. You can blame me for giving birth to you and giving you the status of a concubine, but if you don't fight, you can only be like me in the future, and your children will be the same as you. Su Shi changed his usual weak image, and his eyes became sharp.

Jin Hua looked a little worried, but he was afraid of Su's eyes, so he could only nod.

"However, no one found out about this time, and even the second brother covered it up for the fifth sister." Jinhua said cautiously.

"That is, she has done a good job of buying people's hearts, and even the second young master listens to her." Su Shi was a little reluctant, and then said to Jinhua seriously, "Listen, it will be your second brother's big day in the near future, and there will definitely be many upstarts in the court, and the nobles of the kings and grandsons will come to congratulate you, and you yourself should have a little eyes." She just can play the lute, and if you can't play the piano, will you still be able to play her? ”

Jinhua's face changed, "Aunt wants me to go outside and play the piano for them?" "That's obviously what musicians and actors do.

Su Shi glanced at her, "Who told you to go outside, don't you know how to play Biwuxuan?" ”

Jinhua thought about it and suddenly realized that from the gate to Taoyuan, there was a road that passed through Biwuxuan. When the time comes, although Biwuxuan does not allow outsiders to enter, it is okay to pass by the door. As long as she can play a tune as amazing as Shaohua, she will definitely be as famous in the capital as Shaohua.

Since the Ling clan refused to give her a chance, she could only fight for it on her own.

Shaohua, who was sitting in the room and immersed in embroidery, suddenly shuddered, and the whole person was shocked, and Chuhe on the side got up in a hurry, and came over and asked, "What's wrong with the fifth lady, is it cold?" ”

Shaohua looked at the sun outside, this weather, Duanyang has passed, only the hot part, where does it come from.

"It's okay, I feel like my brow is jumping all the time." She has been very well-behaved recently, she hasn't gone out, and she hasn't made trouble, so she shouldn't provoke talents.

"Maybe you've been too bothered lately, or I'll rub it for you." Hatsuho said with a smile. It is rare that Shaohua is willing to pick up the needle and thread again, and let Chu He help to guide, so that Wanhua will shout magically, if Rong Mama knows, she will have to scare off her eyes.

Shaohua ignored her sarcasm, thinking that when he was in Xingyongbo's mansion, he accidentally saw the braised duck's purse by Yan Kaizhi, but he laughed out loud without giving face, and she was ashamed of herself, so she decided that next time she had to embroider a purse that he could get his hands on. However, listening to Wanhua's ridicule, she also felt that she was unwilling to embroider a pattern seriously under the majesty of Mama Rong, but now because of this ridiculous reason, Mama Rong knew that she had to be angry.

Shaohua shook his head, "No need, I'll continue to practice." ”

She must embroider this purse before Li Sinian's big day.
