Chapter 67: The vinegar jar is overturned
Early the next morning, a message came out of Whitewater.
An unknown prostitute client was overly happy in the Chunfeng Building, resulting in ...... Stroke.
And last night, what happened in that private room was known only to the two people involved.
Xiao Fan, who learned the news, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Stroke is not a serious illness, but in this year, it is very fatal.
Unexpectedly, the secret medicine was used too much, and it was this side effect.
Li Qingshan's people stared at the short man, but after the news was released, the short man didn't go to Chunfeng Tower to pick up people.
The tall man was raised in the Spring Breeze Building.
Chunfeng Building is not a good hall, and it will not support a patient for a long time, so he sent this person to the good hall in Baishui Town on the same day.
"Sir...... Is it the same guy last night? ”
Jiang Xing, who was sweeping in the yard, heard Li Qingshan's people coming to deliver a message, so he asked in a low voice.
Xiao Fan shook his head: "Don't die, don't know." ”
"Yes......"
"Master, I've counted, the inventory list of the storehouse is here."
As he spoke, Jiang Xing took out a piece of paper from his arms, folded it only the size of his palm, and quietly handed it to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan glanced at him and opened it directly.
"Master......" Jiang Xing was a little worried, if there was a discrepancy in the number, wouldn't it make the thieves have precautions?
"Nothing different."
Xiao Fan only glanced at it, and then threw the paper into the open stove.
In the courtyard, except for a few maids, everyone was burning the fire, boiling sugar or oil.
Zhang Zongbao came over and said, "Brother, the charcoal ash is almost gone, you have to make some." ”
"Then you follow me to the South Courtyard." Xiao Fan responded.
At present, the two businesses of Xiao Mansion need charcoal ash, but the secrets in them cannot be easily revealed.
On the other side of the warehouse in the south courtyard, no one lives, and other people don't have to go and won't go, and whoever goes will be suspected of watching.
Jiang Xing said: "Then master, what should I do?" ”
He had just increased his monthly money, and he was very excited, and felt that he should show more to be worthy of the extra five taels.
Looking at the honest child in front of him, Xiao Fan said: "The last time you checked Li San'er, you showed your skills in tracking and probing...... You can find another person for me. ”
"Who are you looking for, brother?" Zhang Zongbao posted it.
Xiao Fan didn't avoid Zhang Zongbao either, and said to Jiang Xing: "The emerald red of Chunfeng Tower. ”
"Huh?"
"What did she do?" Jiang Xing was puzzled, "Isn't the master worried about her?" ”
"You don't have to ask, go and find out what she is, I want evidence, something that can prove what she has been through in the past...... If you have any problems, you can go to Lin County Order, and just say I'll let you go...... Don't let Li Qingshan notice about this. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xing realized a little, looked at the upper room, and whispered: "Master, do you want to take a concubine?" ”
"What?"
When Zhang Zongbao heard this, he was immediately furious: "Brother, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so you want to take a concubine?" ”
"Huh?"
A gentle and sad hum made Xiao Fan feel as if he had committed a crime.
Yu Yourong heard it, she wasn't in the back room, but in the kitchen in the east courtyard, and she heard it.
Xiao Fan scolded: "What nonsense, accept your sister's concubine!" Lao Tzu wants to check her bottom to see if she lied to me! ”
"Oh......"
Zhang Zongbao shrunk his neck, and Yu Yourong in the kitchen was busy with himself, as if he hadn't heard it.
"But what is she doing? Why don't we just have a relationship with her? A woman in a green building ......," Zhang Zongbao said aggrievedly.
"A person who has brains, understands people's sophistication, and understands accounts...... It's rare, you don't understand. ”
For Cuihong, what Xiao Fan appreciates is her ability.
Of course, beauty is also appreciated, but only appreciated.
Li Qingshan put Cuihong in Chunfeng Building and looked at the accounts of Chunfeng Building for him, so that he would not be taken advantage of when sharing money with the Lin family.
It can be seen that Cui Hong has the ability.
It is not uncommon for a person to have these skills, but in these years, it is rare for a woman to have this ability.
Xiao Fan did sympathize with her plight, if she didn't lie, it would be good to pull her onto the Xiao family's commercial chariot.
"Alright, I'll go."
As soon as Jiang Xing left, he turned back and stretched out his hand and said, "Hehe, master, this matter is estimated to be difficult, and you have to advance some silver first." ”
"Ask Madame." Xiao Fannu said.
……
Xiao Fan and Zhang Zongbao went to the South Courtyard to burn charcoal ash.
In the east courtyard, in addition to Zhang Qiao and Qiu Die, there are only Yu Yourong and Jiang Xing, who is begging for money.
The others either went out to buy or were busy cleaning the house.
A huge Xiao house, daily maintenance is also very time-consuming, there was no money and no one before, but now that there is a little money, these face problems naturally have to be maintained.
Lest a distinguished guest come to the door, and when they open their mouths to inhale, they will inhale a mouth full of dust and the smell of corruption.
"Madam, that's the way it is, the lord asked me to ask Madame for some activity funds." Jiang Xing stretched out his hand, in front of Yu Yourong, he didn't dare to joke as presumptuously as in front of Xiao Fan.
Be respectful.
Because this housewife is not only in charge of the family's money, but also in charge of the family's family law, completely in accordance with the rules set by the mansion of the capital.
Except for Xiao Fan and Zhang Zongbao, she can't control it, and she can clean up anyone in this family.
"Emerald?"
Yu Yourong frowned slightly: "Listen to this name, is it a woman?" ”
"Yes......"
"Where did she come from?"
"She herself said that she was Li Qingshan's daughter."
"Be detailed."
"Madam, how do you know the details, aren't you going to check this?"
"When has the lord seen her? Where did you see it? "In front of Xiao Fan, the little bird is beautiful according to the jade, and in front of the subordinates, there is really the honor and majesty of the master mother.
Seeing Jiang Xing's hesitation, she squinted: "Huh? ”
I'm sorry, sir!
"See you in Chunfeng Tower."
"Chunfeng Building?" Yu Yourong's face changed drastically, of course she knew what place it was, "When did you go, I don't know?" ”
Jiang Xing hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, madam, it's not to have fun, it's for business, Li Qingshan sent this emerald girl to answer our ......."
"What kind of business, you want to go to the Chunfeng Building to talk?!" Yu Yourong was a little angry with grievances.
It's only been a few days, are you getting tired of it so quickly?
Hmph, man!
"The lord won't let me say it, it's really a serious matter, I'll look at it for you, the lord has nothing to do with that emerald red." Jiang Xing said with relief.
Hearing this, Yu Yourong nodded reassuringly: "You have a heart." ”
"It should."
"Oh, you're rewarded." Yu Yourong stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and a handful of scattered silver was placed in Jiang Xing's hand.
Jiang Xing was embarrassed: "This little money is not enough, it costs a lot of money to check a person's past details." ”
"Well, that's your reward, that's your money."
As he spoke, Yu Yourong took out a bag of silver from the drawer.
Just by his touch, Jiang Xing knew when he took it that there were ten taels of small silver ingots inside, at least a dozen.
"Hey, thank you, ma'am!" Jiang Xing didn't expect that he only said such a sentence, and he was so white that he had a handful of broken silver.
Although it is scattered, it adds up to two or three taels, but it is not a mosquito leg!
Yu Yourong whispered: "When you check the details of that girl, I also want to know the details." ”
"That's natural, and the lord won't hide it from his wife." Jiang Xing said.
……
After the charcoal ash was prepared, Xiao Fan personally prepared the ash water of plants and trees.
Then in the east courtyard, the whole family mobilized and began to boil sugar and oil on a large scale.
After a busy day, several people had back pain, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xiao Fan looked at his beautiful wife on the bed, he had no energy today, he was too tired, and he had to do everything himself in order to prevent the core from leaking.
So, as soon as he fell asleep.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Xiao Fan seemed to hear a cry.
When he woke up, he saw a woman sitting at the head of the bed.
Xiao Fan was so frightened that he immediately woke up from a drowsiness, and then looked to the side.
Oh, it turned out that Yu Yourong didn't sleep, sitting at the head of the bed and crying.
Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a female ghost.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Fan got up, hugged Yu Yourong from behind, rubbed his eyes and said softly, "Are you homesick?" ”
He also thought that Yu Yourong was thinking about his family in the capital.
Yu Yourong shook his head.
The royal family in the capital doesn't have much affection for her, after all, she is just a second daughter raised in another courtyard.
"The concubine just feels that she is very useless."
"Why are you useless?" Xiao Fan touched her forehead, "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about." ”
Yu Yourong sobbed and said: "It's only been a few days, and the concubine is old, so Lang Jun you have no interest......
"In the past, Lang Jun would favor his concubine every day."
Yu Yourong said aggrievedly.
Xiao Fan laughed: "What's the matter, I've been too busy in the past two days, Lin Xi and Li Qingshan have something to do with me, and there are also changes in the capital......"
"Then you still have time to go to Chunfeng Tower and see that emerald girl?" Yu Yourong suddenly snorted.
