Xianghua thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go and see how the flower and fruit tea in Baishi Village is selling?" A few years ago, Huaguo tea had been shipped to Jiangnan, and the princess talked to me about it. Although our family has been making profits, I don't know how it sells yet, so why don't you take the opportunity to take a look? ”

Yang Yu said with a smile: "It's just right, I haven't drunk the flower and fruit tea you said much, this time I'm blessed." ”

The two were scheduled to say goodbye to the Chen family after breakfast tomorrow morning, but the next day it was only dawn, and Xianghua was woken up by a squeak. She rubbed her eyes and saw that it was a mouse with mung bean eyes.

Xianghua, who had experienced a hundred battles, quickly woke up, turned over and sat up, pressed her joy and asked, "Found it?" ”

The little mouse nodded.

Then Xianghua saw several other rats dragging out an account book from under the bed, probably a little bumpy along the way, and some places had been rolled up.

Xianghua hurriedly thanked her, and took it over.

The cover of this book is similar to the previous one, but the color is different, and when you open it, the content inside is even more shocking, and it is really the same as what Yang Yu thought before.

"How did you find it?" Xianghua asked happily.

The leader of the rat replied with a squeak, and Xianghua could probably tell what was going on from the intermittent words.

Master Chen is not at home, the son of the second lady, who is also the eldest young master, came to his mother to take money to spend, the second lady told him to be careful these days, don't spend money lavishly, endure these few days, and there will be great things waiting for him in the future.

The eldest young master had the same temper as his mother, and said, "What good things?" Mother, let me see. ”

The second lady knew that her son didn't have the patience, and if he didn't let him see something real at this time, he would have to make a fuss, so she used the key that Master Chen asked her to keep open the secret compartment in the room, and showed the eldest young master the secret account book.

When the eldest young master saw it, he was really anxious and went back by himself.

The second lady put the ledger away, locked it, and went out with her.

The rats are waiting for this moment. Knowing that they would soon be found out if they bit off the lock, they might get into trouble, so they set out from the inside of the cabinet and made a hole in the side against the wall, and pulled the ledger out of the hole.

Xianghua really admired the cleverness of these mice, she sent all the snacks on the table to this group of helpful little guys, and then asked Ying'er to quietly invite Yang Yu over.

At dinnertime, Mr. Chen came back from outside, his face was flushed and he smelled of alcohol, and the second lady asked him where he had drunk while waiting for him to change his clothes.

Master Chen said: "Look at that Yang Yu, I still don't have a word for sure, I don't know what to think." I want to add a fire to him and let those doctors prescribe another dose of strong medicine to dispel his doubts! ”

"Yo, that's going to add another one to the ledger?" The second lady was a little happy. All this money will end up in her son's pocket, and of course, the more the merrier.

Master Chen nodded and said happily; "Take out the ledger and show it to me."

The second lady smiled: "Yes, master." ”

She skillfully unlocked the lock and opened the dark grid, but her face changed from bright to dead ash in an instant.

“…… Master. She looked in shock at the empty compartment and the big hole inside.

Before Master Chen woke up, he snorted: "What's wrong?" ”

"Ledger...... The ledger is gone. The second lady said hesitantly.

Master Chen only felt that he was in the clouds, and he seemed to be separated by a layer when he heard everything, and he finally heard these words in his ears, but these words went around in his ears for a long time before they came to his mind.

He stood up with his strength and staggered over, and when he saw that the wine he had drunk had turned into sweat.

"Where did the ledger go?!" He grabbed the second lady and asked.

The second lady was startled and cried, "I don't know either! When I saw it, it was still in here! It's such a big hole here, didn't it be stolen by rats? ”

Master Chen said angrily: "The ledger can't be eaten, why do the rats steal it?" Someone must have stolen it! Call your maid in! ”

The second lady was frightened, but she also knew the importance of this account book, so she hurriedly called several maids in her room in, and Master Chen interrogated them one by one.

But several maids said that after the second lady left, they didn't see anyone else come in, and even they were busy with things outside and didn't enter the room.

Old Man Chen thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to make a noise about this matter, so he still asked the eldest lady to discuss it.

The eldest lady had already fallen asleep, and when she heard that the eldest lady had something urgent to ask her, she also got up.

Old Man Chen's wine had been completely frightened, and he told the story succinctly.

The eldest lady asked her to look at the hole according to the light, and said, "It does look like a hole made by animals, it is too small to be made by a man." ”

Master Chen said anxiously: "What is that rat doing stealing the account book for no reason?" Can't learn to read? ”

The eldest lady said: "I don't know why, it's probably because the rat has become a sperm and knows how to steal precious things." But since it was stolen by rats, I hope they tear and bite by themselves, so that no one can see it. ”

Master Chen hurriedly nodded and said, "That's a good word, just don't be seen." I'm glad you still have a copy there, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. ”

The eldest lady glanced at it and said, "You can't use this dark grid, it's best to find someone to make a box that can't be broken or burned, so as not to make such a fork again." ”

Master Chen replied and said to the second lady: "You go find a few cats tomorrow, this mouse is too rampant, just eat them all!" ”

Although the second lady didn't like the eldest lady, it was a matter of interests, so she could only put aside her personal grievances and reluctantly agreed.

In the other room, Yang Yu and Xianghua had already finished reading this secret ledger, and the conjectures that Yang Yu said before were confirmed one by one.

"What to do? How to hint? Xianghua remembered what he said.

Yang Yu smiled: "They can't be scared at this time, let them experience the feeling of being a thief first, and then slowly settle the account." ”

Breakfast is the same as always, but everyone at the dinner table today is more dull, and the second lady, who used to talk a lot of nonsense, has become silent today, and there is only the movement of dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Yang Yu was the first to speak: "We have been bothering in the house for many days, it is really disturbing, thank you for your hospitality." At the moment, Xianghua and I are going to go for a walk elsewhere, and we are about to leave after breakfast. ”

It's a joy from the sky, and it couldn't be better.

Master Chen cheered up and said perfunctorily with a smile: "Where is it, you will have a lot of nobles in the future, we want to invite you to come, but you are not free to come." But since you have other arrangements, it is inconvenient for us to stay for a long time, so I wish you all a smooth journey! ”
