Ji Moyan lay on the bed and didn't sleep all night.

The person beside him seemed to have signs of waking up, Ji Moyan closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up. The ears can't help but pay attention to the man's every move.

He seemed to turn his body to the side, and exhaled a soft breath from his nose and blew on the hair on Ji Moyan's side, tickling. He seemed to stare at her for a long time, then sighed, afraid of waking her up, and got out of bed lightly.

The footsteps faded away, and there was a "squeak" as the door slowly opened, and then the sound of the door closing.

Ji Moyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the empty but warm bed quilt beside him, and a tear fell down.

What was that sigh? Ji Moyan seems to understand whether he understands or not.

……

In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everything that should be purchased has been purchased according to the previous practice, but everything is right, except for this account, which is not right.

This year's cost of buying things is more than double that of previous years, and even if the price of goods rises again, it won't rise so much, right?

Ji Moyan, who was anxious, was embarrassed to trouble Gu Man, and she had to trouble her.

Looking at the expenses of the Hou Mansion recorded in the account book, Gu Man frowned, and the people's accounts were obviously indiscriminate! Is a box of mooncakes as expensive as ten taels? Is the bread golden? A new dress for the concubines costs a hundred taels? Is this gold-trimmed? Or are you sewing gold threads? Even the most precious Yun Jin is only more than a hundred taels, according to the concubines, how can they afford to wear such expensive clothes?

Because Ji Moyan doesn't understand this, does he treat her as a fool?

Gu Man's face became darker and darker, although it was none of her business to spend Cheng Mo's money, but it was not okay to bully Ji Moyan in front of her! Ji Moyan in the book made Gu Man complain the most about brainless kindness, but kindness is not guilty, she still likes Ji Moyan very much.

These subordinates, one by one, looked at Ji Moyan and didn't know how to take care of the house, so they started to lie about the price and fish for oil and water, so she would not let them sit back and ignore them in front of Ji Moyan, and she had to rectify these dishonest guys before she left the Hou Mansion.

Gu Man told Ji Moyan about the suspicion that people were falsely reporting prices, Ji Moyan frowned, and called Lan'er over: "Lan'er! Call me Mama Wang, Mama Zhao and others who bought them! I'm going to put them on trial! If I don't make a threat, I'm a sick cat! ”

Gu Man looked at Ji Moyan with great appreciation, it seemed that Ji Moyan also had a bit of a temper.

However, Gu Man stopped Lan'er, who was about to leave, and said to Ji Moyan: "Yan'er, since they dare to fish for this oil and water, they are naturally not afraid of you checking the accounts, if you call them at this moment, not only will they not let them admit their mistakes, but will let them bite you back, saying that you have wronged people indiscriminately, and when the time comes, you will have no prestige in this Hou Mansion at all!" ”

Ji Moyan frowned, and said a little anxiously: "Then what should I do?" You can't just let them dodge like this, can you? ”

Gu Man shook his head, "If they have no way to quibble, we have to come up with tangible evidence!" This list has the location of the purchase, let's go there in person to see how many silver taels these things sell! When we find definite evidence, we'll see what they do! ”

Ji Moyan nodded, agreeing with Gu Man's opinion.

Both of them are action-oriented, even if they change into the clothes worn by their subordinates, they pretend to be servants of the master's house.

The first thing I went to was the ridiculously expensive ready-to-wear store.

There are many people who come to buy things that need to be used for the Mid-Autumn Festival on the street, and all kinds of shops selling melons, fruits, snacks and lanterns can be seen everywhere on the street.

The ready-to-wear store that Gu Man and the others are looking for is located in the most prosperous place among the shops in the capital, called Xu Ji Garment Shop.

Gu Man and Ji Moyan walked in, pretending to pick and choose at random.

After a while, a clerk Xiao Er walked over. Xiao Er's eyes were very vicious, and at a glance, he saw that Gu Man and Ji Moyan had good clothes and materials, and they must be servants of rich and noble families, so he stepped forward very earnestly and asked, "Which family are the two little brothers?" But what do you need to buy? ”

Gu Man looked at the shopkeeper, who was in his early twenties, and his appearance was quite upright, and his smiling face made people look very kind. Gu Man smiled at Xiao Er, and replied in a rough voice, "We are newly moved to the Zhang Yuanwai family in the east of the city, and we are not familiar with the place, aren't we going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?" The master wants to buy a few new clothes for the ladies and young masters of the family, I wonder if you have ready-made ones at home? Good? ”

This Zhang Yuanwai in the east of the city was made up by Gu Man, but the rich families living in the east of the city are not a hundred or fifty. The four surnames of Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao are the most populous of these surnames, so how can you find a surname Zhang?

Xiao Er thought about it, and it seemed that there was really a member surnamed Zhang, so he said with a smile: "Of course there is!" Little brother, you two came to me to come to the right place, our family's ready-to-wear clothes, but even the most noble Hou Ye's mansion came to our house to formulate! ”

Gu Man glanced back at Ji Moyan, and the place was not wrong.

"Oh? So, that's right! My house has a large population, and I need a lot of clothes and materials, I don't know if there are any preferential activities here for the little second brother? ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then how many sets are you going to buy in your house?" ”

Gu Man said: "There are more than 20 concubines in my family, and there are more than 10 children and grandchildren, all year round, winter, spring, summer, autumn, ......" Gu Man stopped his calculating hand and looked at Xiao Er with a smile, "If you can be cheaper here, I can go back and report to the outsider." ”

Xiao Er was excited when he heard this, and said mysteriously: "Two little brothers, your deal is a big deal, and I also have a deal here that I want to talk to you about, I don't know if you two are interested?" ”

Gu Man turned around and looked at Ji Moyan and smiled, there is a door!

The two nodded, and the little two stretched out his hand to the back door and pointed, "Then let's ask later!" ”

The two followed Xiao Er to the backyard of the ready-to-wear store. Xiao Er placed the two of them in the backyard lobby, and after sending the maid to deliver two cups of tea, he said: "Two little brothers, please use it slowly, and after a while, I will go to our shopkeeper to talk to you two!" ”

Gu Man and Ji Moyan nodded, and Xiao Er withdrew with a smile.

Ji Moyan couldn't wait to whisper: "Sister, it's really boring!" ”

Gu Man nodded.

After a while, a lean man of about forty or fifty years of age walked in, the man had a slender face and a thin build, but he looked very energetic.

After seeing Gu Man and Ji Moyan, he called cordially: "The two little nephews have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Little nephew? This man is a relative.

Gu Man and Ji Moyan smiled awkwardly.

The man is the owner of Xu Kee's ready-to-wear store, Xu Fu.

Xu Fu sat on the upper seat and said with a smile: "I heard from our guests that you two are doing things for the main family, and you want to make it cheaper." But I have a better business here, I wonder if you two are interested in hearing about it? ”
