A few more days passed like this, and by the end of March, Gu Qingchi had not returned, but Shi Qingsong had an accident.

"Miss, when the slave maid got up in the morning and went out to buy, I heard from the people on the street that the Hou Ye leaked the exam questions, and the sons jointly sued, and now they have been dismissed by the emperor and are idle at home. ”

Hearing Caihe's words, Shi Miaoyu was not surprised at all, and even sneered: "Just dismissal?"

Hearing this, Cai He was surprised: "Ah, Miss, aren't you worried?"

"What am I worried about?"

Seeing that his young lady asked rhetorically, Caihe felt speechless, and only after a while did he say: "That's right, although you are Miss Yan of Muyang Houfu, but not only Hou Ye, but also bullying you up and down, and now Hou Ye has lost his official position, which is also retribution!"

Caihe's indignant look made Shi Miaoyu laugh completely, and echoed: "You're right, it's retribution." ”

This Shi Qingsong, isn't it retribution?

But where is this going, just losing office, isn't there still a name for the marquis.

Thinking about it, the emperor is not confused, knowing that he is a scapegoat, but he can't check it any further, after all, if he checks it again, he will hit the jade bottle with mice, and it will affect the queen and the prince.

That's more than worth the loss.

The master and servant only mentioned it briefly, and did not say anything more.

Shi Qingsong lost his official position, and it had no impact on the Lin Mansion at all, and he didn't even count as a conversation after dinner.

It's just that Muyang Houfu, which is not far from here, has already turned the sky upside down.

......

"Master Hou, there is no money in our accounts. ”

Red Sleeves looked at Shi Qingsong who came to get the money with an embarrassed face, and said with a little uneasiness.

At first glance, Shi Qingsong was still a little incredulous: "What did you say?"

Red Sleeves said this again, and saw Shi Qingsong ask in a deep voice with an angry face: "How can there be no money in this account?"

Red Sleeves still wanted to ask him, when he took over the account book, he found that he was poor and pitiful. You must know, how could this dignified Muyang Houfu have only a few thousand taels of silver on the account, not even one-tenth of her own money!

It's just that she can't say this, because she thinks about it: "When the concubine gets the account book, there is not much left on it, these days Sister Qiu recuperates her body, the old lady grabs medicine, and the master's daily entertainment, it has long been beyond her means." Now, there is really no money. ”

Hearing this, Shi Qingsong became more and more angry. In the past, whether it was Lin Yanran or Qiu Yingyao, when they were housekeepers, there was no shortage of money to spend in the house over the years!

Why did you change this red sleeve to take care of the housekeeper now, and tell yourself that you have no money in a few days?

"How so?"

Hearing Shi Qingsong's questioning, Red Sleeves simply handed over the account book and said sincerely: "Master Hou, this is the sorting done by the concubine when she got the account book, why don't you look at it?"

Red sleeves was also very aggrieved and panicked, originally Lin Yanran went back to her parents' house, Qiu Yingyao had a small birth injury, Shi Qingsong handed over the housekeeping rights to her, and she still had a moment of excitement.

But who knew that when she got the account book, she felt a basin of cold water poured on her head.

What does it mean to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, this is it!

No wonder Qiu Yingyao told Shi Qingsong that she was weak and didn't care about her family, and the old lady said that she didn't care about it when she was old, and finally cheapened herself. They all know it's a pit!

If she knew this, she shouldn't have taken the account book. is a good housekeeper for others, and her monthly money of ten taels of silver is indispensable every month. It's like now, as soon as you open your eyes, someone else is asking for money!

I know every day that I want money!

Shi Qingsong stretched out his hand to take it, and sure enough, he saw that the money spent on the above was clearly understood, and the source of each payment was very clear.

In this way, the red sleeves did not swallow it privately.

If that's the case, is there really no money in the books?

For no reason, Shi Qingsong suddenly remembered what Lin Yanran had said to him before.

"Over the years, the concubines have been in the house with dowry subsidies......"

Thinking of this, Shi Qingsong's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Can the things in Madame's yard be put away?" Although she is not in the house, she must not forget to clean up. ”

Hearing his words, a flash of disdain flashed in Red Sleeves' eyes. This is a high-sounding statement, isn't it just that you want to take Madame's things?

But since Shi Qingsong said it, Red Sleeves has no intention of embarrassing himself, after all, the house is still taking care of the account books by himself.

Therefore, the red sleeves only bent their lips and smiled: "It has been placed in the past few days, why don't you go and see it with the concubine?"

What can be moved or not, then he, the marquis, has the final say, so she doesn't carry this pot!

Shi Qingsong also had this intention, so he nodded and agreed, and went to Lin Yanran's courtyard together.

It was only after Shi Qingsong asked his subordinates to write everything in a booklet that he was a little confused.

There are a lot of things on it, what rockery coral, golden silk nanmu stepping bed, yellow rosewood tables and chairs, one by one looks valuable, but they can't be sold for silver.

As for the other tea sets, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, all of them are good, but they can't be sold.

Those who can be pawned are either nothing but ornaments, or they are worthless.

The more Shi Qingsong looked at it, the more angry he became, and when he saw the end, he was even more angry and threw the booklet on the table.

When the Wang family came in, he heard Shi Qingsong losing his temper: "You are in charge of the house now, so you can watch it." ”

And the voice of the red sleeves was also a little embarrassed: "That being said, but Master Hou, the concubine is really unable to manage it now." After all, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

Over the years, Shi Qingsong has never worried about money, even if Qiu Yingyao is in charge today, she will not understand Shi Qingsong's face so clearly.

But who is the red sleeves, it came out of the Qinglou, and what he is best at is asking for money, where did he learn to post money by himself?

She said this bluntly, but Shi Qingsong's face was extremely ugly. Suddenly, I heard her say this, and I couldn't accept it for a while.

When Wang came in, he saw that his son's face was flushed, obviously angry.

She was startled, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Son, what's wrong?"

Shi Qingsong wanted face in the end, and felt that he didn't say this, so he simply pointed to the table and motioned for Wang to look at it himself.

Wang was still a little confused before, but when he saw the booklet that Shi Qingsong asked people to sort out, and combined with what Red Sleeves just said, he understood immediately.

"But there's no money in the house?"

In fact, the Wang family really didn't know that the mansion would be short of money, after all, in her cognition, although Lin Yanran was gone, she still left such a large dowry, how could it be enough for the mansion to spend. And when Lin Yanran left that day, she deliberately ordered someone to stare at it to ensure that the woman didn't take anything.

Therefore, the Wang family would never have thought that the mansion had reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and they could only take out two or three hundred taels of silver.

You must know that these two or three hundred taels can be eaten for five or six years in a small household, but in Muyanghou, so many subordinates and a few masters will last for a month at most!

This is still the time when Shi Qingsong didn't have any gifts to socialize.

Before Shi Qingsong could speak, Red Sleeves said like a machine gun: "Ancestor, the silver in this prince is indeed a little less, originally it was enough for us to eat by ourselves, but the Hou Ye was given by the emperor...... Now at this critical juncture, it is indispensable to do something, after all, those people are still counting on some good words. But as you can see in our accounts, it's really poor that we can't open the pot......"

She said a series of things, Shi Qingsong's face became more and more ugly, and Wang's face sank, and said: "You can also arrange the affairs of the master? Let you be in charge of the house for a few days, and then forget your identity? Go back to your room!"

Hearing this, Red Sleeves' face stiffened, and then smiled: "Yes, the concubine has retired." ”

She's too lazy to wait!

Seeing that the red sleeves were far away, Wang sat down next to Shi Qingsong and sighed: "Son, mother still has some silver, if you are in a hurry, you can use it." She only has this one sister-in-law, and it is also her only hope, even if she keeps the silver, she can't support her for the elderly, and in the end it is her son who cares about her.

In fact, Lao Muyanghou had two sons back then, the eldest son Shi Qingsong and the second son Shi Qingyao. It's just that Shi Qingsong was born to the Wang family, but Shi Qingyao was born to a concubine.

Wang's hard-heartedness, he sent Shi Qingyao out early, all these years Shi Qingyao has been released as a county order, although the official position is low, but nothing happened, Wang's eyes are out of sight and out of mind, so he simply thinks that there is only one son in this house.

After all, she didn't come to see that concubine as a son, but just a cat and a dog, and she sent it clean.

When Wang said this, Shi Qingsong was moved. It's just that he thinks he is filial, so naturally it is impossible to use Wang's money.

Without Wang's money, he had to find a way elsewhere.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth: "I didn't expect that this Lin family would have already taken care of the outside world, and actually transferred his dowry away quietly, otherwise it would ......"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stretched right now!

As soon as he said this, Wang was also very angry, and snorted: "I have long seen that this woman is not a good thing, and I didn't dislike her for being a merchant girl when Baba was going to marry you." Now she dares to calculate you and transfer all your money away! This is our house, she is a thief!"

In Wang's view, when things enter Muyang Houfu, they are their own. She didn't think that those were Lin Yanran's own dowry.

Later, Wang became more and more angry and encouraged: "Son, this matter can't be left like this. The Lin family stole something from the house, and you have to go and get it back. ”

The pair of slut mother and daughter will pay off if they don't come back, but the money has to be returned, and she must not be taken away with the money-losers!

Although her words were rough, they reached Shi Qingsong's heart.

This money should indeed be returned, after all, she has been married to the mansion for so many years, and the things should be his!

But...... He wants to save face, and he can't be so stunned.

"Why don't you take her back from my son?"

Shi Qingsong thought well, he took Lin Yanran back, and the money naturally came back, and Shi Miaoyu, who was his only daughter now, was useful.

Hearing this, Wang's face instantly turned ugly, and he snorted: "What are you going to do when you take her back, don't take her!"

It's just that after Shi Qingsong made the stakes of the matter clear, Wang suddenly changed his mind: "Then take it back, it's just one thing, after taking it back, she has to bring back some silver, anyway, the Lin Mansion is so generous, and there is only one son, so it should be given to us." ”

Shi Qingsong naturally thought the same in his heart, and after reaching an agreement with his mother, he went to prepare gifts.

After all, there is still some sincerity in picking up people. Anyway, these gifts will be returned tenfold and hundredfold in the future!

At this time, Shi Qingsong completely forgot Qiu Yingyao and the child who was beaten out in her womb.
