If he is not reborn, with the time when Yu Zhuqing returns to the city, he should close the city gate, the capital has always been five o'clock, ring the twilight drum, close the city gate, prohibit travel, the memory of this section of the dream is a little blurred, at that time the city gate is closed or closed, and it is not clear, only know that his younger brother died not far from the city gate, and Yu Zhuqing also died there.

Or you can ignore the city gate and just say that Yu Zhuqing died outside the city gate like his younger brother.

It's an accident...... Or is it inevitable?

As for the late arrival of the younger brother and eldest sister at the city gate in this life, is it all because of the changes caused by their own rebirth?

Yu Xijiao's eyes were as deep as water, and her curly long eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the dark shadow in her eyes, this thing is very strange, it can be said that everything about the eldest sister is very strange.

As far as her identity is concerned, she is just an adopted daughter, and raising it is only good for the Qian family, and she can't afford to raise her for nothing, and now she doesn't even have a person to raise her relatives, Yu Xijiao guessed that the Qian family wanted to let the eldest sister die alone, but now she found out that it was not, it was more like asking for the eldest sister's life.

What is it for?

Isn't there anything else in this that I don't know......

Yu Zhuqing used eggs to compress his eyes again, and only after a little better did he refresh, and when he was freshened, he and Yu Xijiao went to the steward's hall together.

A few stewards who were preparing to take matters into account outside the hall were stunned for a moment when they saw the eldest girl and the third girl coming hand in hand, and hurriedly saluted.

Although the eldest girl lives like a shadow, and the house doesn't take her seriously, but the third girl is different, so she rushed to the henchman next to Mrs. before she was taken away, and now Mrs. blames herself for her niece's affairs, and takes the initiative to hand over the right to manage the affairs to know that the three girls are not good to get along.

The two sisters entered the hall, Aunt Zhou was already on the council, and she looked much more energetic than yesterday, although her face was still pale and bloodless, her spirit was much better.

Seeing the two sisters coming in, they put down the account book in their hands, stood up and greeted respectfully: "Big girl, third girl." ”

"Aunt Zhou, my sister and I are here to help, if Aunt Zhou is too busy with anything, you can greet our sisters, if there is nothing to do, my eldest sister and I will take a look on the side and learn to manage the housekeeper." Yu Xijiao smiled generously.

She had already reported this to Yu Ruiwen last night, and Yu Ruiwen was full of promises, he is now very guilty about his little daughter, and this kind of trivial matter is nothing.

Several people sat down again, Aunt Zhou sat in the main seat, she was the main person in charge, Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing sat in the side position, and the two of them sat together.

There are a lot of account books on the table, all of which are brought by the people who are in charge, and Aunt Zhou is in charge, these account books basically have to be read first, and then ask some affairs in the house, which will deal with the daily necessary things first, and other things are suspended.

"Aunt Zhou, my sister and I want to see the account of the sewing room, I don't know if it has been delivered?" Yu Xijiao casually flipped through the account book in front of her and asked.

"It hasn't been sent in yet, and it should still be waiting outside." Aunt Zhou immediately understood what Yu Xijiao meant, and said with a smile, "The sewing room used to have a lot of income and expenditure, and the concubine may be too late for a while, I don't know if I can trouble the eldest girl and the third girl, so I will help the concubine take a look first." ”

"What does the eldest sister think?" Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing.

"The third sister thinks it's okay." Yu Zhuqing hesitated, she was afraid that she would mess things up, she had not been in charge of things for so many years, and the Qian family never let her interfere, even if Yu Yuxi had already followed the Qian family to manage the accounts.

Yu Xijiao didn't let Yu Zhuqing refuse, and nodded to Aunt Zhou: "Let the needlework room send the tent over first." ”

Aunt Zhou nodded, nodded and called a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law went down, and came over with a ledger after a while.

Aunt Zhou took it and looked at it, frowning: "This is this year's account?" ”

"The steward of the sewing room has brought this year's ledger, if the aunt feels that it is less, she can go to the lady to get it, and the previous ledger will be handed over to the lady."

The mother-in-law laughed.

The ledger of the sewing room is different from other daily entry and exit ledgers, which are generally placed in the stewardship of the sewing room for two years.

"Let's look at it for a year first!" Yu Xijiao said with a smile.

Aunt Zhou pursed her lips, and finally didn't speak, handed over the account book in her hand, Yu Xijiao took it and looked at it carefully, the so-called account book is actually some flow accounts that record the income and expenditure of the sewing room, what silk thread was purchased on a certain day in a certain year, or materials and some clothes and accessories, and some small ornaments such as palace flowers......

Yu Xijiao was not unfamiliar with it, she flipped through a few pages very quickly, and then stopped where she wanted to look, and after carefully checking it, she handed the account book to Yu Zhuqing, and said softly: "Eldest sister, look here." ”

Yu Zhuqing took it, looked at it carefully, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the record on it in surprise: "These ...... It's all mine? ”

What is recorded above is that when Yu Zhuqing came back before, the clothes placed in the house were made of materials, and two pieces of material were actually tributes, which were rewarded by the palace.

Some of the embroidery above was also bought directly from the Jiangnan area, and the price was less than twice as expensive as that in the capital.

"How...... So expensive? Yu Zhuqing couldn't help but gasp, she knew that those clothes were worth a lot of money, but she didn't expect the price to be so expensive, and it wasn't an ordinary way to come.

"All the money written on it is the eldest sister, and all the expenses are recorded in the eldest sister's account." Yu Xijiao gently patted Yu Zhuqing's hand and whispered.

"But I'm ...... It's not me ......" Yu Zhuqing's lips trembled as she had already written it down, and the number she guessed was completely different from the number in front of her.

"The eldest sister spends the most, even more than the lady and the second sister." Yu Xijiao looked up at Yu Zhuqing with a straight face.

In the last life, she also heard that the Qian family was very good to Yu Zhuqing, what was delicious and easy to wear, they were all given to this adopted daughter first, and the outside said that this adopted daughter was a good blessing, not only let Xuanping Hou adopt, but also had Qian's good mother to protect her, but when she saw Yu Zhuqing wearing plain clothes and ordinary clothes, she felt that this was just Qian's words to the outside, so as to set off her good reputation.

Only now did I find out that there was evidence for this.

"Big sister knows what that means?" Yu Xijiao asked.

"I ...... The clothes and accessories were later given to the second sister. Yu Zhuqing muttered.

"But no one knows, at most, some people say that the eldest sister doesn't like to wear it is given to the second sister, and when others lament the eldest sister's arrogance, they sigh that the second sister is a good one, and they are willing to wear clothes that the eldest sister is not willing to wear." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, and then stretched out her finger and pointed to the record on it, "These are the evidence, even if it is brought to my father, this is also evidence." ”

With these, even Yu Zhuqing can't explain it clearly.

Yu Zhuqing pinched the handkerchief uneasily, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say, "I...... I will not take these clothes again, I will go and explain the matter to Madame. ”

Yu Xijiao expected her to say this, shook the account book in her hand, and sighed: "Eldest sister, even if you make it clear now, your previous reputation has already spread, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to redeem it." ”

How important is the reputation of a girl's family, especially the daughter of a family who has not been out of the cabinet, many people have never seen a real person at all, relying on hearsay, Yu Xijiao can be sure that Yu Zhuqing's family affairs are so difficult, and her reputation outside has a great relationship.

An adopted daughter is so arrogant and lascivious, even surpassing the real Hou Mansion concubine, what does this make people think?

"Third sister...... My father and mother also left some money and shops back then, and they all filled in it, I don't know if it's enough? Yu Zhuqing bit her lip, she originally thought it was enough, but now she saw the price clearly, but she didn't feel confident.

"The eldest sister still has her own money and shop?" Yu Xijiao asked in surprise, she really didn't know about this.

Yu Zhuqing lowered his head, twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and said bluntly: "What I have is left by my biological parents, and I was almost snatched away by my uncle at that time, and then my father helped me ask for it back, when I was young, the money and the like were left in my hands, but the shop was taken care of by my wife." ”

"How many shops were left for the eldest sister at that time?" Yu Xijiao asked curiously.

"Six." Yu Zhuqing didn't hide it anymore.

"So much?" Yu Xijiao was stunned, no wonder she was surprised, Yu Zhuqing's biological father was not famous in the Yu family, and she didn't hear anyone talk about Yu Zhuqing's previous family background in the previous life, they all said that Yu Zhuqing was lucky, Yu Ruiwen and the Qian family were kind-hearted, and said that she grew up in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, which was a blessing.

didn't expect Yu Zhuqing's net worth to be so rich, not to mention the money in his hand, these shops alone might be eye-catching.

"There used to be six, but now there are only two, and my biological mother is ...... The daughter of a great merchant. Yu Zhuqing said uneasily.

"Why are there only two left?" The more Yu Xijiao listened, the more suspicious she became.

"Madame said that she had been losing, and asked the store to send the account book...... At first, it was just a company that didn't run very well and couldn't close it, and some of the old people were still in the hands of my biological mother...... I couldn't bear it, so I asked them to go to other stores, but I didn't expect to drag other stores in the end...... It's not going to work anymore. ”

Yu Zhuqing bit her lip and blamed herself.

Yu Xijiao didn't expect that she just checked the account of the needlework room, but found out so many things, although Yu Zhuqing didn't know what to say, but there was obviously something in it, and she knew that the meaning was not simple when she heard it.

Liu Mei frowned slightly, she was not in a hurry to ask the eldest sister about the store in her hand, the most important thing at the moment was the matter of the sewing room.

"Eldest sister, the matter of your shop, after the matter of the sewing room, I will help you verify, now check the matter in front of you first, the clothes of the eldest sister are still in my place, these should be recorded on it, right?"

Yu Xijiao scratched the account book and marked all the records about Yu Zhuqingyao nearby.

"Yes, it's all on it." Yu Zhuqing cleaned up the self-blame in her heart, and her eyes fell on the account book again, although she had never learned to read the account, she could still read some of the simple ones.

"The eldest girl, the third girl, the needlework room is about to come up to report, do you want the two girls to listen to it together?" Aunt Zhou's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
