A man of about fifty squeezed in from behind the crowd, sweating profusely and shouting "Wait."

Yan Yuhuan smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that it would not be so simple.

But he looked at the steward with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What is this?" ”

The steward hurriedly bowed down and replied, "This is the head of the salt village, and he and his wife used to dock. ”

"Oh, it's the old man! I heard that you have been sick for many days, and the last time I came to see you, I said that I couldn't get out of bed anymore, no one saw you, and I couldn't take the ledger with me, and now this is ...... All right? ”

Yan Yuhuan glanced him up and down, reached out to take the tea handed by Chun Tao, and took a sip slightly.

The old Zhuang reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his face did not change his face and lied.

"Thanks to the blessing of the county lord and his wife, it was indeed very bad a few days ago, but as soon as I heard that the county lord was coming, I only felt refreshed and most of my illness was cured, so I quickly got up to see the county lord."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Yuhuan knew that this was a guy who didn't slip his hands, he had been in the workplace for many years, and he hadn't seen a few gentlemen with high spirits and bright festivals, but he had seen a lot of such third-rate goods.

The old Zhuang still thinks that Yan Yuhuan is the stupid person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and he just thinks that he can fool the past, but he doesn't want no one to buy his account at all.

"I didn't come last time, but it's good to come this time, the old Zhuang Tou thinks I didn't come enough?"

Yan Yuhuan stared at people's hair, and the old Zhuang head was in a cold sweat, saying that it was wrong, and it was wrong to say that it was not, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Don't be so trembling, my mother and I are not unsympathetic, when we are older, it is inevitable that there will be some diseases, today is good and tomorrow will be guilty again, I see that the old Zhuangtou is not very good, just raise it on the Zhuangzi first! The affairs of the village are solemnly taken care of, and you can rest. ”

"County master, the old slave is fine, how many years can the old slave manage Zhuangzi for his wife and the county lord? Let the old slave be faithful again! ”

The old Zhuang head knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Yo, play moral kidnapping with me? I'll show you what it is, and no one can kidnap me without morality.

Yan Yuhuan gave Chun Tao a look, and Chun Tao hurried to help.

"The old owner has also been working in my Yan family for so many years, what is he doing here? Those who don't know still think that you are a slave and a master? You are loyal to the Yan family, I believe this. If you are so faithful, take out the ledger! It also allows me to look past the accounts that have been faithfully managed. ”

The old Zhuang Tou stood up and couldn't wait to slap his big mouth, saying which one is loyal? If you don't take out the ledger now, you can't do it.

Yan Yuhuan looked at the account book, and sure enough, it was the same as she thought, obviously she had been making salt, but the income from the account book was far lower than what she deserved.

"The salt village has never stopped, so much salt is shipped out, and the money in the account is so small? Old farmer, is this your loyalty? ”

There are more lice and he is not afraid of biting, the old owner has completely lost that disguise at this time, but smacked his teeth and said casually, "We are selling smuggled salt, and we are doing things that lose our heads, can't we make a little more money?" The court knows, which one can run? ”

Yan Yuhuan frowned, this was a naked threat.

As soon as he wanted to extinguish his majesty, he saw Hui Niang running over in a hurry.

Hui Niang didn't even breathe, bent over and said, "County Lord, ...... quickly Come back with me, someone from the palace has announced the holy decree, and you and your wife will enter the palace. ”

Everything else is easy, only this thing can't be sloppy, Mrs. Yan hated it when she thought of the emperor, she was not there, she might really cause trouble.

For a while, he didn't care about the threat of the old Zhuangtou, explained a few solemn words, and hurriedly took Huiniang and Chun Tao back to the house.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw Mrs. Yan waving this jade ruyi to drive the messenger of the decree out, and she was still shouting in her mouth.

"Entering the palace? Even if my daughter and I die outside, it is impossible for me to enter the palace, so you dare to invite me for anything? The dog emperor really wants us to go back, let him come and invite him personally, and invite the old lady back with eight sedan chairs. ”

Hui Niang stood in place and did not dare to move, and the messenger who announced the decree sighed again and again, but did not dare to be angry, but quickly retreated.

Mrs. Yan is usually golden and noble, although she also has some outrageous behavior, but she has never been so rude and unrestrained, Yan Yuhuan This is the first time she has seen her.

It seems that this cheap lady was not lightly harmed by the emperor's scumbag father, otherwise she would not be so excited.

Yan Yuhuan hurriedly went up to appease a few words and coaxed Mrs. Yan, only then did she think that in order not to embarrass Mrs. Yan, Jiang Qinian had not seen him for a few days.

Just thinking about it, I walked to the conservatory.

The spring light is just right, Jiang Qinian is lying on his side on a collapse by the window, holding his head in one hand and a book of poetry in the other, his collar is wide open, and he looks like a wandering wreck.

I didn't expect this person to look like this, Yan Yuhuan coughed lightly, "It seems that you have recovered well in the past few days since I was away." ”

Jiang Qinian turned his head, and when he saw that it was Yan Yuhuan, he quickly got up.

"The slave doesn't know that the county lord is coming, and the county lord forgives the sin."

He put away his relaxed and comfortable appearance for a second, which made Yan Yuhuan a little uncomfortable.

Stretched out his hand to pull him up, the two sat side by side, Yan Yuhuan told Jiang Qinian about the matter of Yanzhuang, "It's certain that the accounts are not right, the loss of some silver is a small matter, but I don't know where they got so much private salt, if they are not careful, it is the capital crime of killing the head!" ”

Jiang Qinian's fingers slowly rubbed on Yan Yuhuan's palm, Yan Yuhuan only felt itchy, but he was reluctant to withdraw his hand, this fox spirit always has new tricks.

"Or, you can start with the tenants."

He said slowly, "People like the owner of the salt farm are not greedy enough, it is impossible to harm only the interests of the owner, and he is only afraid of being harsher with the tenants, who must be separated from these people, or can know something, and will tell us." ”

Jiang Qinian himself didn't realize that he easily said the word "we", and couldn't help blushing a little, and Yan Yuhuan was even more happy to get carried away when he had a way, grabbed his shoulder, pecked him in the face, and said with a big grin, "I know that you are the smartest, and it is really good, I will go and tell my mother now, take you to Yanzhuang together, and I will definitely find out the matter." ”

Jiang Qinian gently stroked his face with his hand, and watched Yan Yu float out as if the wind was blowing.

But as soon as he arrived at Mrs. Yan's place, Yan Yuhuan became a frosted eggplant.

"Do you still want to take Jiang Qinian to Yanzhuang? Huan'er, how many times has my mother told you? You can't put your heart on a man, why don't you listen? Do you have to follow the old path of your mother? ”

may have thought of some things when she was young, and Mrs. Yan had tears in her eyes.

Yan Yuhuan hurriedly hugged Mrs. Yan, put a small face in Mrs. Yan's arms, and whispered defense.

"Mother, just believe me! The daughter really didn't take him there because she liked Jiang Qinian, this is a major event of the Yan family, how can the daughter only care about the love of her children. Besides, the daughter has always remembered her mother's words, and she won't just love one man, does her mother believe in Huan'er? Jiang Qinian is very smart, he can come in handy, that's all! ”
