Chapter Ninety-Nine: Godson
"Godfather, what's so urgent? My son still has a good hand of cards that he hasn't finished playing! Liu Zhao shook the snow off his body, and his peach blossom eyes smiled.
The person who came was eight feet tall, slender and handsome, with long flowing hair scattered on his robe, if he hadn't known his status as a slave earlier, I am afraid that he would have thought that he was the son of a family.
Steward Liu also saw his good appearance at the beginning, and he was quite likable in his work, so he accepted him as his godson and let him take care of the accounts, and since then he has been living in the palace for a long time.
Liu Zhao saw that Liu was indifferent, so he took away his ruffian spirit and stood up, and bowed his hands, "Godfather!" ”
"You kept this account? Let you be a good errand, when such a bad? Steward Liu threw a heavy fist, and when he fell, he was extremely restrained, and hit the account book with a muffled sound.
Liu Zhao thought that he could hide the world if he was clever in the accounts, and Rao is an old connoisseur like Liu Guan had to look at it for a long time to find out the mistakes, but this did not mean that paper could contain the fire.
Steward Liu couldn't help but be angry, and threw the account book to Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao also quibbled because of this: "Godfather, this is Xingshi's questioning, the son originally gave the daily vegetable money, and it was just a few more dollars to buy it, the huge palace, this is not the dust in the fingernails, but the son feels sorry for these wastes, put them away and live our own lives." ”
If he is just small-hearted, it would be fine, but as Yan Jinzhou pointed out, the piles and piles are all major events of more than 100 taels of silver.
"You dare to swear that there are no false accounts and wrong accounts on the side?"
Liu Zhao was silent, and only asked: "Godfather, what happened?" ”
"The eldest lady passed me today, the deficit in this account book, she is afraid that she will have to track it down to the end, if you can't make up for it a year ago, don't call me dad anymore!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he forcibly tore off Liu Zhao's claws that were clinging to his body. When it really comes to the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, he can only show his magical powers.
Liu Zhao panicked and hurriedly said: "The money in this account is not used by my son alone, and it must not be made up now, please ask my father to help!" After speaking, he knelt down and knocked his head on the ground several times.
Steward Liu is too late to regret it now, I thought Liu Zhao was clever, but he didn't want to be a guy with a little cleverness but no great wisdom, and now he is tied to a boat, and he can't get out of it!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I had to scold and get angry.
The cold wind was gusting outside the window, but at this time, the two of them heard a rustling sound from the grass beside the corridor outside the courtyard, and then they noticed that they didn't even remember to close the door when they came in.
Liu Zhao got up with all four claws, hurriedly walked to the door and shouted a few words, and then went around to confirm that there was no one before closing the door.
He thought to himself for a while, but decided to inform his godfather, and in order to prevent someone from eavesdropping, he also deliberately attached words to his ear. I thought I could get a compliment......
Steward Liu listened to his nonsense, and his muscles became more and more bruised, and his anger was dark.
"Confused! Confused! Liu Zhao was violently pushed to the ground, and he was hit with a heavy foot in the chest.
"You dare to collude with the lady of the East Courtyard and take the money in the account to put the seal, it's really a long skill, it seems that I underestimate you, Liu Zhao!"
Steward Liu couldn't help but say, so he grabbed Liu Zhao's ears and wanted to go to the East Courtyard, "Even if you fight for your life today, go and give me the money back!" ”
Where did Liu Zhao dare to go, he had to wrap his feet around the pillar, and he didn't dare to move.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Steward, I'm the heart willow in Mrs. Lin's house, and Mrs. Lin asked me to deliver a box of snacks!"
Liu Zhao also escaped the catastrophe, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and went to open the door, Xinliu, the girl who saw Liu Zhao's embarrassed appearance, was a little afraid to go in, not sure if Liu Zhao had any special habits.
But after all, it was his master's order, so he still went hard.
Steward Liu was sitting in a precarious position, his posture was a little high, and he calmly took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand.
"Steward, my lady remembers that you love to eat snacks from the kitchen, and I will send them to your old man when I have time to do it!"
"Thank you for me, Mrs. Lin!"
Lin Manmanqing was born, although she was the favorite concubine of the Hou Ye, but she was somewhat out of the eyes of the old man of the Hou Mansion. remembered that Xu was instructed by Master Hou that he invited a famous doctor to see Lin Manman a few days ago.
"Steward, if there is nothing to do, the lady is still waiting for orders, and the slave will go first!"
"Hmm," Steward Liu nodded slightly.
Xinliu has always been small-minded, and as soon as he got out of the yard, he "spitted" on the ground. In the past, because she was Lin Manman's person, people looked down on the maids everywhere, but now in front of Steward Liu, he is bigger than Hou Ye's shelf.
Thinking of this, he picked up stones all the way and kicked out.
When he walked outside the Moon Picking Pavilion, he heard the sound of the piano and the sound of the flute, and Xinliu thought that maybe the Hou Ye was coming, so he stood outside the courtyard and waited, and it was inconvenient to go in and disturb.
A pair of beautiful people in the house, Lin Niangzi is petite, graceful and graceful, with slender jade fingers caressing the strings, and the literati temperament flowing between her eyebrows, which is by no means comparable to ordinary women.
"Vines, beware of cold hands!" As soon as the music fell, the man next to her took her into his arms and carefully rubbed his hands for her.
"Playing the piano for the Hou Ye, the slave family is not cold!"
Lin Manman also gives people a sense of delicacy when she speaks, beauty is beautiful, but it is not a state of longevity.
Xinliu waited for the time to come in and serve, and immediately a warm current hit her body, and the stove of the Moon Picking Pavilion burned much more vigorously than elsewhere.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost dinner time, Xinliu instructed the cloth vegetables, Lin Niangzi was careful, and Hou Ye loved to eat, she could always make it in the small kitchen.
Xinliu saw Hou Ye walking out of the back room quickly, glanced at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but say, "Hou Ye, this dish is all arranged." But there was no reply, and the man twisted his sword eyebrows and strode away.
Lin Manman then opened the curtain and came out, a beauty like a paper lantern, for fear of blowing the wind, Xinliu hurriedly took a fox fur fur fur and put it on for her.
She looked very reluctant, looked out the window, and said, "Master Hou is restless today, let him go!" I only hate that my body is useless, and that I can't add a son and a half daughter to him, and I will only annoy him in vain. ”
"Look at the lady talking nonsense again, you are the person on the tip of the Hou Ye's heart, how can you make people upset?" Xinliu added food for her, but she was still in no mood, so she ate two bites in disgust and got off the table.
Winter nights always seem extraordinarily long, and since he finished reading the account book, Yan Jinzhou can only use the Ninety-Nine Chilling Diagram to pass the long night.
"Today's "nine" painting for you, Yuan Rong! ”
Draw nine branches of cold plums on white paper, each with nine flowers. One branch corresponds to nineteen, one flower corresponds to one day, and a plum blossom is filled with a specific color every day according to the weather situation.
Yuan Rong picked up the black pen and filled in one.
Then Yan Jinzhou wrote: "Try to see the plum black in the picture, and the grass outside the natural window is green."
"Yes, we are all looking forward to the beginning of spring as soon as possible, after all, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and time is precious!"
Yuan Rong didn't speak easily, and only responded with an "um" sound.
The candle shadow flickered, the dim light reflected the silhouette of the two, Xiuniang stood outside the door with tea, and saw Yuan Rong wearing boots, becoming more and more heroic.
"Madame!"
