After a pause, he looked at the already empty street, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid just sent the Jiang family and Dai Yin to the car, and was about to go to the prince to give a report. ”

"Get in the car?" Song Liangchen was stunned: "Where to go?" ”

"The Jiang family said that since he is already the prince's person, he should go back to the palace to serve." Wearing gold lowered his eyes, he said: "So I have been on the road just now and went to Guancheng." ”

With a sinking heart, Song Liangchen frowned, threw away the lotus flower in his arms, turned around and ran to the stable.

"Master!" Yushu shouted.

Lotus flowers are scattered all over the ground, petals are scattered, and they fly around when the wind blows.

Song Liangchen led the horse out, with a solemn expression, and chased after Guancheng desperately.

"Hurt ......"

In the Acacia Garden, Meijing woke up, covered her head and shouted, "Was someone hit me in the head yesterday?" ”

Jin Yi smiled and brought water in: "The princess was said to be drunk yesterday, and now she has a headache, so it's good to drink some sobering tea." ”

Opening her eyes blankly, it was already dawn outside, Shen Meijing looked around and sighed: "I'm awake again." ”

"Isn't it good to wake up?" Yushi handed the tea to her lips and said with a smile: "As soon as I wake up, the master will turn over." The prince ordered to come down, restore your status as the princess, and let you be in charge of the backyard. ”

Stunned, Meijing raised her eyebrows: "Backyard use?" ”

"It's the ledger and the key to the vault, and you will be in charge of the expenses in the backyard in the future." Jinyi said: "It used to be in the hands of Master Wen, but yesterday the master commanded, and when Master Wen arrived, he had to send you the account book." ”

As he spoke, he paused, looked at the door closed, and couldn't help but add in a low voice: "This messenger is the most popular in the backyard, and it has many benefits, and Master Wen is probably reluctant to hand it over." ”

Those who are in charge of money are naturally fat poor, and Shen Meijing knows it. Song Liangchen treats her well, this is a little friendship between adversity and suffering, so he took the initiative to improve her living standard? I really want to thank him.

Getting up and drinking the sobering soup, Meijing suddenly felt that something was wrong. When I looked down, I saw that I was still wearing a bracelet on my left hand, with a delicate pattern on it, and the other half was gone.

That's not right! Won't it take seven days for this bracelet to be unfastened? She glared, could it be that the prince of the world cut the small silver lock in the middle yesterday?

If you want to cut it early, cut it early! It's so bad that she can't excrete well!

Muttering twice, Meijing turned over and got out of bed, changing clothes and washing.

"Don't move, master." Sitting in front of the dresser, Yushi gently wiped the mark remover for her again, and looked at her face carefully: "This scar is almost healed, you should be careful in the past two days, don't get wet." ”

"Okay." Meijing smiled and nodded, her face is also a woman's weapon, she was scrapped by the little cabbage before, and now that she has repaired it, how can she protect herself.

Not to mention that the man who looks at the face is superficial, who doesn't like beautiful things, even if it is for the sake of her good looks, if there are any winds and waves in the future, Song Liangchen can also favor her a little. It has nothing to do with lust, it's a human nature.

"Master, Concubine Wen is waiting outside." Yu Shi looked at it and said in a low voice: "Be careful, this Master Wen has always been thoughtful. ”

She has robbed other people's jobs this time, and she has completely offended people, and she doesn't know how Wen Erya is going to make things difficult.

Shen Meijing nodded, and she had a number in her heart.

"The concubine asks for peace to the princess." Wen Erya came in, saluted respectfully, and held a lacquer box in both hands with a very good attitude: "On the order of the prince, the concubine has brought all the account books and keys in the backyard. ”

"There is labor." Meijing stretched out her hand to take the box and said with a smile: "Concubine Wen, please take a seat." ”

"When the princess sees the outside, just call the concubine and say Erya." Wen Erya sat next to her, raised her head, and her eyebrows were full of tenderness: "I misunderstood the princess before, and I still have a problem in my heart, but now that the misunderstanding has been solved, the concubine will rush to make amends to you." ”

Shen Meijing raised her eyebrows, this master is really a master, he can speak, and he will get closer to each other without saying anything, and he will not make people feel annoying at all.

"What misunderstanding?"

Wen Erya's face was full of guilt: "Previously, the princess said that the wedding was a trick behind the princess, and the concubine believed it, and felt that the princess was a cunning person, so she couldn't help but have a lot of resistance." Yesterday, the master had explained all the misunderstandings, and the concubine knew that she believed the rumors, so she also wanted to apologize today. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and took the box in the hand of the maid behind him: "The princess is well-informed, and she must not care too much about the baby." But this box of Pudong Pearl is not easy to come by, and the effect of applying it to the face is excellent. I also hope that the princess will not dislike it, accept it, and forgive the concubine. ”

Look at what that's saying, how awesome. Shen Meijing took it with a smile and nodded at her, she likes this kind of gift as soon as she comes up, it's true!

"Since it's a misunderstanding, you don't have to take it to heart. I'm new to the city, and I have a lot to teach you. ”

Wen Erya smiled implicitly: "Does the princess know the situation of the ladies in this mansion?" ”

"I don't know."

"The concubine has specially prepared a list of the usual usages here." Wen Erya handed over a slip: "There are three side concubines in the house, one concubine, in addition to the concubine, Master Ning is good at painting, and the use of this ink gouache is specially given an extra five taels per month." The master of Yi Quzhai is good at chess, and the use is also the least, basically staying in the room and playing chess. Na Yu is good at calligraphy, and he also has an extra five taels per month. ”

There are quite a lot of rules, and the beautiful scenery nodded and wrote them down one by one.

"As for the concubine, the concubine is good at the piano, and there is no extra use, but from time to time she has to buy two good pianos. The master said that when you buy a piano, you can withdraw it directly in the account room. ”

Is there any connection between being good at the piano and buying a piano? Meijing listened and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her. This rich and noble family has a lot of problems, and it would be good to like playing the piano and buy the most convenient one? I didn't have to think about it to buy two, I really had a problem with my brain.

But now she can't open her mouth to teach a lesson, just nod her head.

"It's just the end of the month, and the princess has cleaned up the accounts of the previous month, and this month you can start distributing all sides and courts." Wen Erya got up and said, "The concubine doesn't bother much, if there is any problem, send someone to go around Liang Xuan and ask." ”

"Okay." Jingjing bowed: "You walk slowly." ”

Wen Erya smiled and led the maid to retreat.

According to what she said, the monthly expenses of the backyard of the Shizi Mansion will be at least five hundred taels? The monthly money of each female dependent adds up to almost one hundred taels, as well as various additional expenses, as well as the monthly money and food and clothing of the subordinates.

It's really rich!

Opened the account book and looked at last month's bill, took the abacus and knocked it for a while, Meijing raised her eyebrows, turned her head and asked Jinyi: "Did you send your monthly money last month?" ”

"Naturally, it will be sent at the beginning of every month." Jinyi said: "The slave's monthly money is two taels of silver. ”

The monthly salary of a first-class maid is two taels, and counting so many people in the house, the salary alone is almost one hundred taels of silver.

Shen Meijing took the account book and counted it again, frowned and said, "It's strange, then why was the total expenditure last month only two hundred taels of silver?" ”

Isn't that enough money a month?

"This slave doesn't know." Jin Yi shook his head: "When Master Wen was in charge of the accounts, the masters of each courtyard had no complaints. ”

Strange man, how did you do it? The beauty was staggering, and I couldn't help but look at the ledger again, and there was nothing on it except for monthly expenses. Could it be that you don't even buy clothes and jewelry? The people in the prince's mansion are so frugal?

"Where did the prince go?" Thinking about it, Meijing asked.

Jade Eatery: "It seems that I went out early in the morning, and I don't see anyone now." ”

After all, he is the prince of the world, and he should be busy. Meijing thought for a while, closed the account book and said, "Then let's go to the mansion and have a look." ”

"Yes."

Song Liangchen stopped Jiang Xinyue's carriage in front of Shouwu Mountain, her head was covered with sweat, and she was ready to see her cry, after all, she had been crying recently.

However, the curtain of the car was opened, and Jiang Xinyue looked at him with a smile: "What is the prince doing in such a hurry?" ”

Slightly stunned, Song Liangchen actually felt a little panicked, reached out and touched it, only found a lotus petal on the placket, pursed his lips and handed it to her: "Don't be angry." ”

Jiang Xinyue lowered her eyes and looked at the petals, chuckled, and didn't reach out to pick them up: "I'm not angry, the prince doesn't have to think too much." It's just that I suddenly figured it out, instead of being a widow in the prince's mansion for a lifetime, I might as well go back and serve the prince well, maybe I can let my father continue to rise, don't you say? ”

With a dull pain in his heart, Song Liangchen frowned and said, "Why do you bother to practice yourself like this? ”

"How can this be called practice? Marrying a chicken with a chicken, being able to marry the prince is also my third life of luck, why can't I think about it? Jiang Xinyue leaned on the car, tilted her head to look at him and smiled, very charming: "I am Aunt Jiang of the prince, I am no longer Jiang Xinyue, and I will not wait for the prince anymore." In the future, when you come to the palace to say goodbye, I can only make you another cup of tea. ”

"......" sat stiffly on the horse, and Song Liangchen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

"You're right, there will be countless women in your life, even if there is no Shen family, there will be others. A greedy woman like me is not suitable to stay with you. ”

"Get out of the way, Lord Shizi."

The curtain fell, and Jiang Xinyue's voice was extremely calm: "Continue on the road." ”

The carriage passed by him, Song Liangchen's eyes were blank, his sideburns were picked up by the wind, and fell silently.

"Master." Yushu frowned and said, "Let's go back, it's not good for the prince to know." ”

"Hmm." Song Liangchen nodded: "Go back." ”

I don't know what it is, it came up from his heart, and his eyes were sour.

"Go and ask Cheng Dudu, I have something to say to him."

"Yes."

The view walks in the courtyard and looks around. Jinyi and Yushi followed behind her, not knowing what she was looking at. I walked around the mansion twice, and I didn't look at any of the side concubines, just looked around curiously.

"Master, what are you looking for?" Jin Yi couldn't help but ask.
