Jiang Wu looked in the direction of the room where Anya was, rubbing the ledger on the table with her hand.

*

It's night.

A fire broke out in Jiang's house.

From that piece of begonia spread to Yuanningju, and finally burned clean.

Jiang Wu was awakened by the panicked sound in the middle of the night, pushed open the door, and looked in the direction of Yuan Ningju. The flames are soaring into the sky, and the surrounding houses are afraid that they will also suffer.

She looked faintly—

After all, the small courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, so it can't be burned. She closed her eyes, and inside the room was the soothing incense of the morning lotus.

When it dawned again, the people in the house had already woken up for a long time.

Looking at the ruins of Yuan Ningju, everyone looked at each other. Nothing happened to the people in Yuanningju, but the entire Yuanningju was annihilated in a fire.

Even though the fire has been extinguished for half a day, standing in front of the ruins, you can still feel a scorching wave. From afar, it was all charred black.

I heard that she was frightened by the fire yesterday, and the old lady fainted directly. I'm already old, and I don't know if I can wake up when I pass out.

A group of doctors surrounded the old lady, and Master Jiang even went to the temple overnight to invite a monk to pray for the old lady's bedside.

The monk said that there should not be too many people nearby when praying for blessings, even if the juniors of the Jiang Mansion wanted to visit, they would stop at the monk's words.

As everyone knows, the old lady of the Jiang family believes in Buddhism the most, and as juniors, although they are not necessarily as pious as the old lady, they still have to listen to what they should listen to when the old lady is in a coma.

In the small courtyard, Jiang Wu was quietly using her breakfast.

Chenlian yawned softly: "Miss, aren't you sleepy?" ”

Last night, the young lady spent the middle of the night flipping through the ledgers hidden in the golden body, and then asked them to hide them. It's only been an hour now, and the young lady already looks like she's fine.

Chen Lian couldn't help but look into the distance, and the smile in her eyes became lighter: "If you want the slave to say, it's good to burn all this Jiang Mansion." ”

Even the people and the house were burned together.

After checking things for a long time, there was finally progress, and when Jiang Wu heard Chenlian's words, she also smiled softly: "Nonsense, this method is enough to use once, where will it be so simple next time." ”

There haven't been any major incidents in the Jiang Mansion over the years, and although there have always been patrolling guards in the mansion, most of them are just doing the same. There must be people watching in the shadows near Yuanningju, but there are not too many.

Last night, she instructed Han Cicada to deal with the stalkers first, and then asked Chenlian to set a fire.

Late at night, the fire started from the begonia tree and spread all the way to Yuanningju.

The account book that Anya brought back yesterday is actually nothing surprising in terms of alone, just some small things recorded, and it is no different from the account book next to it.

But Anya told her one thing, the golden body of the god and Buddha in the Buddha hall was empty.

With a ledger, there are many other things.

Sure enough, yes.

Yesterday, Morning Lotus used a blade to dissolve the gods and Buddhas along the edge of the golden body, and the inside was really empty.

There are twenty ledgers, and there is a jade pendant that can't see the color of the water.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chenlian took everything back to the small courtyard.

She flipped through the account books overnight, and the time was too short to reconcile, so she could only memorize them astringently. The twenty account books that Chen Lian got back were all account books from more than ten years ago, counting the days, before and after her aunt came to Chang'an.

Jiang Wu used the porridge in the bowl and threw away the dense numbers in her mind first.

Her previous guesses, along with the confirmation of Anya and these ledgers, have probably been able to restore a fact. When her maternal grandfather and grandmother encountered bandits, the people in her aunt's clan bullied her as an orphan girl and seized her aunt's wealth, and her aunt was forced to flee to Chang'an to join the Jiang family.

But Mrs. Jiang somehow learned that her aunt had a large amount of money in her hands, so she asked Jiang Yu to take her aunt as a concubine, thus embezzling the money.

But......

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes, but there were still some things that didn't make sense.

Even if my aunt's parents died and she went to the Jiang family as an orphan girl, my aunt was still a young lady who was raised seriously, how could she become Jiang Yu's concubine.

Where did my grandmother know that my aunt had a large sum of money, and where it had gone? She had thought that the money was hidden in the golden body, but in the golden body there were only twenty seemingly unrelated ledgers.

What is the purpose of my grandmother's worship of these twenty ledgers for twenty years......

There was a constant noise outside, and people were all saying that the fire was a meteorite on the edge of the sky, burning a tree, and the patrolling guards happened to be patrolling other places, and by the time it burned, the fire was no longer under control.

Not only Yuanningju, but also several courtyards around Yuanningju have also been affected.

Jiang Wu ran out of porridge and looked at the sky. It's so blue, it doesn't look like it's going to rain at all.

The abbot sent the relics to the palace two days ago, and Xie Xiangwan will come out in the next few days, otherwise my grandmother would not have been so urgent and used such clumsy means yesterday.

Jiang Wu thought about the twenty account books, and was in a daze for a while.

When Chenlian walked in from outside the door, she saw the young lady in a daze. The soothing incense in the house had not completely dissipated, and she wanted the young lady to have a good rest, so she went to add some more.

The moment the incense was lit, Jiang Wu came back to her senses.

She looked at Chenlian and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Shicai Chenlian went to see Anya, and when she heard this, Chenlian looked at the incense box in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss, Sister Anya's injury will be fine." It's just that this soothing incense seems to be running out, so we have to go to the shop to buy some. ”

Jiang Wu's eyes turned to the incense box, and after a long time, she said softly.

"Can't buy it."

Because it's a late tune.

Chenlian put down the incense box in her hand and said as if unintentionally: "There are many shops selling soothing incense on the street. ”

“...... Yes. ”

Even though it could be ignored, Jiang Wu couldn't help but think of the blood-stained snow robe. She got up suddenly, ran to another room with her skirt in hand, knelt down and opened the cabinet inside.

Morning Lotus followed behind her, watching her young lady count the silver earnestly. While counting, he was still muttering something in his mouth.

"Is it enough?"

"It doesn't seem to be enough, things in Chang'an seem to be more expensive than Jiangnan."

Morning Lotus's eyes were stunned——

Now it seems that her young lady really can't afford to buy a dress.

Jiang Wu looked at the silver money in her hand, hesitated a little, and then looked at the red boxes that had been cleared out of the utility room. Those things in there could be exchanged for a lot of silver, but they were given to her by her grandmother.

As soon as she thought of what her grandmother had done, Jiang Wu lowered her eyes. She didn't know before, but now that she knows, she doesn't want to use the money to do it.

When she had packed up the rest of the money, she looked at Chenlian. Chenlian bent her eyes and smiled: "Is Miss going out to buy caramel for Anya?" ”

Jiang Wu clenched the money in her hand, although she didn't just buy caramel candy, it seemed to be really a little less.

No way, she still looked at the red boxes.

I thought of those dense ledgers, and the words in Anya's mouth. Jiang Wu lowered her eyes and said softly: "The left and right are also my aunt's silver, and the dirty ones are people, not money." ”

Convincing herself, she found a few things that she could do directly, and went out with Chenlian.

It's just that when I go out today, it's not as convenient as before.

The guards stopped them directly: "Third Miss, my lord ordered me today, if you don't have anything important, you can't go out for the time being." ”

Jiang Wu looked in the direction of Yuan Ningju: "Last night, my grandmother fainted because of walking water, and she was extremely unconscious. I just wanted to go to the temple to put a stick of incense on my grandmother and pray that she would wake up safely soon. ”

The guards looked at each other and stepped out of the way.

Jiang Wu went out with Chenlian and found that there were two more small tails behind her.

It's very jerky just to look at, and it doesn't look like a stalker, even Jiang Wu has found out. Jiang Wu found a carriage on the side of the road, and reported the way to Yuanshan Temple with the coachman, and when they stepped into the carriage, the two little tails behind them disappeared.

They didn't get out of the carriage either, but went to the pawnshop they knew first to change everything.

All she took were gold bracelets, golden hairpins, and gold hairpins, which could be used directly after melting. Although it seems that it is a pity that these things are directly melted, but in the end they are just jewelry.

These things outside the body were given by her grandmother, and Jiang Wu didn't care about it.

Thinking of the dense dozen ledgers and the hundreds of thousands of silver in the mouth of the woman in Jiangnan, Jiang Wu felt that she had burned Jiang's mansion, and the money was owed to her aunt.

A very strange feeling surged through Jiang Wu's heart.

That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if my grandmother hadn't hidden it in the mansion, or even in the Buddha statue that she had suspected for a long time, where would the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver go.

With so much money, would my grandmother put it in the bank?

Jiang Wu shook her head, there must be something she missed. If those twenty ledgers were not important, they would not have been sealed in the golden body of the gods and Buddhas by their grandmothers.

The owner of the pawnshop was the one who had arranged for her to go to Jiangnan, and when she was talking, his sister was by his side, watching that she had not yet regained her senses, and had been playing with the flowers in her hand.

It's a relationship that doesn't need to be asked, seeing these things in Jiang Wu's hands, the owner directly exchanged them for gold.

Jiang Wu took out all the remaining silver in her hand, and the owner had also seen the world, and asked softly: "What is the young lady going to do with these silver coins?" ”

Chenlian looked behind her and saw the young lady whispering.

"I want to buy a yard."

Xie Yuwan's mansion is gone, and she wants to buy a courtyard for him.

Chapter 82

When the pawnshop owner heard this, he didn't ask much, but just looked at the silver that Jiang Wu put in front of him and analyzed it for Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu listened carefully, thinking that if it didn't work, she would bring a few more things that were not so good.

The young man in a simple robe looked at the young lady who was looking at the pile of silver in front of him, and said softly: "If you just buy an ordinary yard, it should be enough." It's just a matter of when Miss wants, if the time is not urgent, we can find it slowly. ”

Jiang Wu shook her head, Xie Yuwan should be about to come out these days.

With Xie Yuwan's temperament, Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, she only downplayed this matter and told Xie Yuwan that day, and she didn't know how he would react.

"Is it urgent?"

Jiang Wu nodded: "It's best to buy it today." ”

In that case, she can also ask someone to take care of it, and when Xie Yuwan is released from prison, she can live directly in it. That day, Mo Huai told her that he and Tangtang were staying in the inn temporarily, and she secretly took a look, The inn they lived in was a bit remote, and she didn't know if it was because of the money.

The young man hesitated for a moment: "If you want it today, you can't lower the price with others." ”

As he spoke, the young man picked up the abacus.
