Dou's words changed and he planned to meddle in the accounts of the house, and his face changed first It was not Zhao, but Lu Ronghe, and without waiting for Lu Rongyuan to answer, he reprimanded mercilessly and coldly:

"Nonsense! Do you know how to manage the accounts, at this time, what kind of mess!"

Dou's face was ugly, and he was about to argue, but he heard Zhao speak: "Second brother, what my brother and sister said is also, this is about to get busy, there are not many people in our house, but there are a lot of affairs, I am happy to have someone to help, but this accounting details are too complicated, it is better for my brother and sister to manage the entrance and exit of the treasury on my behalf, okay?" ”

The accounts of the Lu family are currently divided into two parts, one is the industry left in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and the other is the treasury with real money and silver in the current Guogong Mansion.

"I can help my sister-in-law with some things."

This is obviously cheap and obedient, but the Zhao family, who is arguing with her, did not find anything wrong with her at this time, but Lu Ronghe did not agree:

"Sister-in-law, how can this treasury be handed over to her, she-"

Lu Rongyuan, who had not spoken, interrupted him with a voice, "Second brother, let's do it, the accounts of the treasury will be handed over to the younger brother and sister first, if she doesn't understand anything, let your sister-in-law give you some pointers next to you." ”

Lu Zhongzhi is not there, what the boss of the Lu family said is still very authoritative, Lu Ronghe darkened his face, secretly glared at the Dou family who didn't dare to look at him, and responded in a muffled voice.

Watching the relics of this short dispute, although she knew that Lu Zhongzhi would die soon, she saw that her relatives had started to make calculations about this business when he was still alive, how could she not feel cold.

"It's all gone, let's go back to dinner, and get up early tomorrow." Lu Rongyuan glanced at the people in the room and said.

Xiang Li Yuan

At night, Lu Zhifang came back from Old Man Lu's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a room in the dark, sitting by the tea case in the corner of the house, holding a roll of bamboo slips and reading.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Can't sleep." She stayed in Chaoyang Courtyard for a day, and after discussing the aftermath of Old Man Lu in the evening, Lu Rongyuan said that he would not let him go over anything, and after eating, she wanted to go to bed early to rest, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so she put on her clothes and went to Lu Zhifang to wait for someone.

"Let's talk about it, then?" Lu Zhi took off his cloak, threw it on the carpet, and sat down beside her.

"Hmm," Yi Yu put the bamboo slip on the tea table, but he didn't know what to say, and his face under the candlelight was worried.

Lu Zhi glanced at her, groaned slightly, and said: "Big brother knows that you are uncomfortable, but there are some words, I still think it is better to talk to you first," after Yiyu looked up at him, he continued: "As soon as my grandfather leaves, no matter who inherits the title, we will have to divide the family, and the uncle has just talked to me, and intends to let us follow him, I mean, at that time, let's live in Guiyifang first, and next year, the spring imperial examination will be held, and the eldest brother will be able to open a mansion in this capital, and the water of this national mansion will become muddy, and our family will not go to it, what do you think?" ”

Listening to his words, Yi Yu was not surprised, she knew from the beginning that Lu Zhi didn't care about the slightest bit of family business in this mansion, and the reason why he recognized his ancestors and returned to the Lu family was just a means of the right time. Lu Rongyuan let Lu Zhi go alone with him, and his intention was almost obvious, that is, he wanted to treat Lu Zhi as his own son, so that Lu Zhi could bear at least half of the family business of this country mansion in the future, and this temptation was not small.

And Lu Zhi said that he would take her out to live alone, and wait until next year to get an official position in the imperial examination before opening the mansion, which is equivalent to giving up the Lu family's family property and title, which is extremely stupid in the eyes of outsiders, but Yiyu not only did not object, but because of Lu Zhi's decision, she felt better, not because she regarded money as dung, but unintentionally polluted.

"I listen to my eldest brother." Originally, she still had a belly, about the old man Lu who was critically ill in bed, about the Lu family who had no news, and about Lu Jun who didn't know where to go, but at this time they were all in the womb.

Seeing that her expression was relaxed, Lu Zhi talked to her about the funeral, so he persuaded her to go back to the house and go to bed early, while he changed his clothes and quietly went out of the house through the back door in the middle of the night.

Magenta House

Li Ke, the king of Wu, was ordered to go to the Huaiguo Mansion to ask questions during the day, and at night he set up a banquet in this magenta mansion in private, and in the private room on the second floor, all his cronies were sitting, and after the wine and talk, Li Ke quietly left the table and went up to the third floor.

At the corner of the third floor of this magenta building, there is a fragrant boudoir, which is unique to Shen Manyun, the flower in this building, but the guest in this scene is the only one who is King Wu.

Li Ke, who was a little drunk, leaned against the cushion, hugged the waist of the water snake with one hand, and walked around the bare snow muscle with the other, staring at the gorgeous face, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, I haven't seen you for three days, you seem to be more beautiful again." ”

Shen Manyun smiled lightly and said softly: "The master is in a good mood, as soon as this bachelor's banquet is opened, your momentum is one point better, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the Guogong Mansion, it is clear that you are more valued, and there is King Wei's "Kun Yuanlu" in the way, and it is not excessive, it is really a gain and no loss." ”

Li Ke's eyes flashed with pride, and said: "Is this a loss, there are also some, you must know that Fang Qiao and the Guogong Mansion are still two sides, how can I close the two sides on the surface, and finally have to choose one to go to the other, the prince originally intended to win over Fang Qiao, if I don't go to the Lu family first, just by the appearance of Fang Qiao at the bachelor's banquet yesterday, he has already annoyed me, and I am worried about how to resolve it, and my father will help me solve it, this Huaiguo Mansion is just a disguise, when the time is ripe, Fang Qiao is the real help of this king to become a big thing." ”

This bachelor's banquet is Li Ke's provocative signal in response to Li Tai's "Kun Yuanlu", it is also a coincidence, Fang Qiao's appearance at the banquet exhibition would have provoked the prince to some extent, but Lu Zhongzhi's critical illness gave him a chance to play a round, who didn't know that the Fang and Lu families were not in harmony, in the eyes of outsiders, this good thing also became trouble, and the prince's side would naturally relax his vigilance.

Speaking of the proud, Li Ke couldn't help laughing, and after a while, Fang changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about something interesting with you, in a few days, it will be Li Tai's birthday, and when the time comes, it must be very lively, haha!" ”

Shen Manyun got closer to him again, puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing for King Wei, you just said a few days ago that the emperor is going to choose a concubine for him, and this birthday banquet is actually a selection banquet with a clever name, I heard that the invitees are all famous ladies, if he chooses one or two powerful ones, won't there be too many helpers, why is the master still happy?" ”

This remark provoked Li Ke's meaningful glance, with drunkenness, and a little mysteriously pasted behind his ear, and said with a low smile: "Silly Yun'er, why don't you have half a woman in the mansion so far?" ”

Shen Manyun's eyes were even more curious, and his voice was even lighter, "Yun'er doesn't know." As soon as the words fell, she felt a wet ear, followed by a slightly numb whisper in her ears, but her eyes widened when she heard it.

"That's because—he's, no, okay."

After a long time, Shen Manyun came back to his senses and said in astonishment: "How come! I heard that King Wei had a group of concubines in the courtyard. ”

"You've seen it with your own eyes?"

"I-" She couldn't answer, so she could only ask again, "Why?" ”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Li Ke's drunken eyes, "The reason for this is only known to this king, it was a long time ago, don't mention it, all in all, it's okay if he doesn't marry a wife and concubine, once he marries, he has no heirs, and over time, his problem will be exposed." ”

"Master," Shen Manyun looked at him and hesitated, "If this, if this thing is true, why don't you shake this matter out earlier, then King Wei will not be in trouble." ”

"You don't understand," Li Ke's lips on her ear moved down slightly, and he said indistinctly: "For people like Li Tai, you need to keep one last hand before you can ......."

Shen Manyun didn't ask again, but moaned intermittently with his kiss, and soon, the two of them were intoxicated with lust, and I don't know what would happen when Li Ke woke up after dawn and remembered that he had leaked this secret that had been pressing on his heart for many years.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, everyone in the Huaiguo Mansion got up and was busy, Yiyu changed into a plain skirt, asked Pinghui to comb her hair simply, ate some breakfast, and went to Chaoyang Courtyard.

Lu Zhongzhi is still lying quietly on the bed, he has not eaten for nearly a day and a night, in order to help him hang his life, after pouring him the decoction prescribed by the Tai Hospital, every three hours, he needs to take a ginseng soup, although drinking too much is not replenished, but there is no other way.

Mrs. Lu has a strange illness that can't wake up, I don't know when I stayed last night, I haven't gotten up yet, and the original intention of the jade is to stay in front of Lu Zhongzhi's bed for a whole day, but in less than half an hour, he was picked up by Lu Rongyuan.

"Your aunt and they are packing up in the warehouse, you go and see if there is anything you need help with."

Yi Yu hesitated for a moment, then went down, out of Chaoyang Courtyard, but I don't know where to go, it's ridiculous, this huge Huaiguo Mansion, in addition to a few courtyards in the east, is the big garden, she has only been to once, so far, even the livelihood of the whole mansion and the treasury, I don't know where it is.

But fortunately, there is still a governor by her side, and Pingtong, who accompanied her, has already touched the house up and down.

The treasury of Huaiguo Mansion is repaired in the northeast direction of the whole house, just near the courtyard of the boss Lu Rongyuan, it is a single courtyard, when the master and servant walked into this courtyard, it was lively, today the treasury was handed over to the Dou family, and the Zhao family was confessing to her, and by the way, for the funeral in the future, the important things were tapped.

It is strange to look at the well-built light gray building from a distance, compared to the house where you stay, it is much bigger, and only a few small gout windows are opened at a height above the ground, and there is only one or two doors in the middle, which is wide open at the moment, and it is also thick and smack-smacking.
