One of the errand boys returned to Chang'an City in Ma Changnian's carriage.

The reef was called out of the books, and when he saw the boy at the gate of his house, his face was full of surprise. After knowing the reason, he couldn't help but laugh: "In this way, I sent you to him, but I sent it to him." Now I don't have to go to him myself to talk to him. ”

He took the letter, gave the errand boy a few rewards, and learned that the other party planned to go home for a night, and Ming'er would get up early and go to Beizhuang, so he made an appointment with the other party, and came to get the letter early tomorrow morning.

After sending the errand boy away, Hai Jiao took the letter into his arms and went back to Xie Wenzai's room to continue his work. When it was dark outside, Haixi Cliff went home, and Haijiao handed over the work at hand and returned to his room with a drowsy head.

He took out Kim Ka-ki's letter and read it carefully.

Haitang heard that his brother had returned to the room, so he found an excuse to find him and asked him about the harvest of going out at noon. Haijiao told the truth, and took out Jin Jiashu's letter: "Shouldn't I always urge him to write a letter to Concubine Xu Xian?" I think he looks very embarrassed......"

Haitang read the letter and saw that although Jin Jiashu's words were unknown, every word hinted at his embarrassment. He has never gotten along with Concubine Xu Xian, he only knows that she cares about herself, has rewarded her with gold and silver property, and hopes that her father Jin Juren can treat him better, but to what extent can Concubine Xu Xian care about herself? After all, she is a high-ranking imperial concubine, and she gave birth to a prince, and this prince is still very hopeful of succeeding to the throne as the emperor. It is impossible for a normal person to risk angering Long Yan and damage the good future of his mother and son in order to cry out for a "nephew", right?

Jin Jiashu couldn't control the proportions of writing the letter, and he was afraid that if he really wrote the letter, he would cause trouble to his "aunt", so he was very entangled. There is no one around him to talk to now, and the only one he can count on is Haijiao, a good friend who knows the "inside story" and seems to be quite smart and has ideas.

Haitang thought for a while: "You and I both know the true relationship between him and Concubine Xu Xian, but he doesn't know that we know, and the Zhou family really doesn't know." If Zhou's family sends this letter, the letter will definitely be delivered to Concubine Xu Xian. But he has just suffered a big change, and he has experienced the betrayal of the second room of the Jin family, and it is estimated that he is like a frightened bird, and he can't trust outsiders 100%. He may have been worried about what if someone peeked at the contents of the letter if he had written the truth in the letter. What if the Zhou family gets angry after finding out the truth? Now that he has lost almost all his relatives, it is estimated that he can no longer lose Concubine Xu Xian. He wanted to take revenge, but he was afraid of causing trouble to Concubine Xu Xian, so he was indecisive. ”

Haijiao raised an eyebrow: "What's so difficult about this?" Empress Dowager Zhou claimed in the letter that he was Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, how could Concubine Xu Xian not know this lie? He regarded himself as Concubine Xu Xian's real nephew, and it was good to round out this lie. Anyway, he just needs to report his safety, and he will complain by the way, and it doesn't matter what he calls or something......"

Haitang smiled at the reef: "Can my brother say this directly to Jin Jiashu?" ”

Hai Jiao paused and smiled bitterly: "Can't ......"

Since he is a person who does not know the truth, of course he can't persuade Jin Jiashu to "regard himself as the real nephew of Concubine Xu Xian". From his point of view, he will only feel that Jin Jiashu's entanglement is superfluous. Isn't it normal for a nephew to write a letter to his aunt to report his safety and cry when something bad happens? As for what Concubine Xu Xian will do after receiving the letter, that is Concubine Xu Xian's own business. If she is willing to call the shots for her nephew, Jin Jiashu wants to take revenge on the real enemy, the Sun family, and there is hope.

But Jin Jiashu knows the "truth", and it is inevitable that he will think more. He may still be entangled, who will Concubine Xu Xian pay more attention to him, the eldest son born to her ex-husband but separated for many years, and the youngest son Eighth Emperor, who can bring her wealth and honor? Will she choose to let her eldest son suffer a few years of grievances for the sake of her youngest son's future? Should he cry in the letter, begging for his mother's mercy as a son, or should he call "aunt" distantly and weaken the feelings in his birth mother's heart for him?

In the final analysis, the key is the attitude of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't want to punish the Sun family, Concubine Xu Xian will probably have to take care of the "overall situation".

Jin Jiashu probably thought of this, so he hesitated and injured himself.

That's when a good friend comes in.

Haijiao sighed: "That's it, I don't need to ask someone to deliver the letter Ming'er, so I just go to Beizhuang in person......"

Haitang asked him, "What about the errand that grandpa explained?" ”

The reef thinks this is easy to do. His work efficiency today is quite high, it is estimated that grandpa will not be busy all night, and tomorrow when he comes back from Jin Jiashu, it will be too late to continue to work. It's a big deal that after grandpa comes back from the yamen tomorrow, he will continue to work overtime with his grandfather at his cousin's place!

Haijiao went to ask his grandfather for leave, but unfortunately he was denied back by the Hercynian Cliff.

Grandpa said that although he is old, he has not lost his ability, and his grandson has sorted out the accounts for the day today, and he can complete the settlement in the middle of the night. Tomorrow the grandson will have to continue to work and not be lazy. The Zhenguo Mansion is waiting for the results! The grandson wants to find a friend to play with, and he will talk about it when he is done.

Haijiao couldn't tell his grandfather the real reason, so he had to change his plan. He asked the errand boy to bring a letter to Jin Jiashu early tomorrow, and he waited until his lunch break to run on another village. He rode his horse, and it didn't take much time to go back and forth. It's just that in this way, he can't take care of Huang Zhutou for the time being, and he has to wait until tomorrow evening or even noon the day after tomorrow before he can make time to go to Huang's house to inquire about the news.

Haitang encouraged him: "Brother Ming'er might as well simply bring some of the account books back to the room to do it, and you don't have to work at your cousin's uncle." So I can help my brother do some of it. As long as my cousin doesn't come to the back house, he won't know the truth. The older my brother finishes his work earlier, the more free time he has, doesn't he? ”

Haijiao hesitated: "Little sister, my brother knows that you are very smart, but this one is ...... Did you really do it? ”

Haitang snorted: "I don't know what those people in the guard do in the accounts, but whether the accounts can match, I can still calculate it." If you're not at ease, leave it to me the work that only needs to be calculated. You are still responsible for other tasks such as induction, sorting and analysis. ”

Haijiao thought about it, so he turned out a pen and paper abacus, and wrote out a few accounts he had calculated today, and asked his sister to try to calculate them.

Recently, Haitang has begun to help her grandmother Ma calculate household accounts, and the abacus is used skillfully, and the result is calculated by dividing five by two. It's not the slightest difference from the reef, and it's not much slower than him.

Haijiao was very surprised, and hurriedly came up with a few more questions for his sister to calculate, and the result was still the same. The begonias calculated quickly and accurately, and even found a small problem that the reef had not found. This is the experience she learned from the accounting methods of the inner house that she had seen in her previous life, and it was not the same routine as Jinyiwei, and she didn't find it on the reef.

Now the reef is completely relieved.

At dinner, he opened his mouth to his grandfather and wanted to carry the account books to his room: "Although I can always ask my cousin for advice when I encounter something I don't understand, but I am there, and my cousin's life is very inconvenient. No matter what he wants to do, he has to worry about me, and he can't eat or sleep peacefully. I was very upset. In fact, I live in the inner courtyard, and outsiders don't know what I'm doing at home, so can I still come and disturb me? When grandpa comes home, he comes to my house to settle accounts, and he can walk a few steps less, right? ”

Hai Xiya felt that his grandson's words also made some sense, and nodded slowly.

Haijiao was secretly happy, carrying his grandfather behind his back, and secretly made eye contact with his sister.
