Chapter 123 Homeman

When Shaohua went back, it was not early. Although she was not bumped into the door, the matter of her coming back from the outside with Li Sinian still fell into Ling's ears. However, without waiting for Ling to come to blame Shaohua, Li Sinian took the initiative to plead guilty to Ling, saying that he took Shaohua out to buy a gift for Zhou Yan without her consent.

When Ling heard that Li Sinian took the initiative to take responsibility and saw that his current status was not the same as before, and he was still in the name of Zhou Yan, he didn't say anything. Just a few words, people who are about to get married, don't run around to avoid causing trouble.

Li Sinian listened respectfully, said something Ling's favorite words, and made her happy. Even Shaohua didn't ask any more questions.

After Shaohua knew about it, he was very grateful to Li Sinian. Although it was shocking this time, it was not easy to hear. Fortunately, there was no wind outside, and I didn't know whether the wind was suppressed or the Li family was too busy to take care of anything else. In short, Shaohua narrowly escaped a disaster and specially ordered Chu He not to say anything about the day and pretended that nothing had happened. However, when she went to check the maid who came in to report that day, she was told that she had already been redeemed and left by her family.

Shaohua thought for a moment and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The person who could sneak into the world in his home and cheated her out. It seemed that Ling's jurisdiction over his subordinates was too lax. So he took the initiative to ask Ling to learn to discipline his subordinates. Ling was surprised and secretly happy. Shaohua finally grew up. There was no doubt that he asked a steward's mother surnamed Ji to follow her and began to learn from the housekeeper.

It's okay if Shaohua doesn't have much, because she wants to recognize people, so she will inevitably hold this book and ask Ji's mother one by one. Suddenly, I found that there were several people that Ji's mother couldn't remember, and they didn't know them at all, but they didn't seem to have appeared for a long time. Shaohua shouted curiously to let people call those people. As a result, only three out of ten people came, and the other seven didn't know where they were going.

At first, Shaohua thought that the personnel had been transferred or left the house, and his name was still hanging on it. But when she found that the monthly money had been spent, she was puzzled. This is really uncertain. I can't find anyone, but the monthly money is still given out. Although these people are not high in status and only spend one or two months a month, it is also a lot of expenditure, and the use of four seasons' clothes for the festival are all counted. And this is only the seven people she found out in the house. Is there any other vacant place in it? There are also people who often go abroad, so it has to be thoroughly investigated.

Only when Shaohua studied these seven people carefully, some people said that those who did not know where to go were all from the garden. Thinking of Liu's prejudice against Ling, Shaohua did not tell Ling directly, but took the list to ask Xin Zixuan. Xin Zixuan was not very clear about the personnel of Xuyuan, but she still asked Shaohua, but it turned out that because Li Sinian was going to get married, those people had been allocated to Taoyuan early. Shaohua had to ask Youhan to inquire about it. Qiu's mother admitted that there was such a thing, but it was just a verbal statement, and no one has sent it yet. Qiu's mother also asked Youhan to come back and ask if there was anyone to allocate to them, otherwise it would not be enough for the second young lady to enter the door.

The more Shaohua thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he had no choice but to ask Ling. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ling heard it, he immediately became furious, because all the people on the list were brought by Yan Sui when they came. According to reason, they were not from the Li family, so they didn't have to pay a month. However, Liu said that there were too many Yichen brothers and sisters, and Xuyuan was short of manpower for a while, so he temporarily put the Liu family in Xuyuan for use. Since those people have been used, it can't be said that they don't pay a month. Ling sees that it is only a few dozen taels a month, and he also agreed to wait for the Liu family to leave before liquidate, so he doesn't care about it. But I didn't expect that there would be so many empty places after Liu's liquidation at that time.

That is to say, the monthly money given to the subordinates of the Liu family every month still goes to the Xuyuan account, but none of them is missing. What's more, at the beginning, because Si Yan and Yichen rushed to take the exam, they took out an extra sum of money every month to buy them pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and nourishing products, but now they have not been deducted. Originally, he was busy with Li Sinian's marriage and Wanhua's dowry. Then he found that Liu had moved the hands and feet of the account room. Ling directly took the account book and went to Taiheyuan.

It is said that after Li Geluo knew it, he was so angry that he called Li Liangxun over and scolded him. What would happen after Li Liangxun went back? Everyone could guess that Shaohua sighed. She just wanted to check the maid, but she didn't expect to involve so many situations.

In the end, Li Sijin and his wife came to pay for their parents, but Ling didn't have a good temper this time. Li Sijin had no choice but to say that he was willing to hand over all future salaries to the account room until the debts owed by Liu were paid off. Although the mother's debt is repaid, it is the family who lives together. Liu's control of the accounting room in Xuyuan is harsher than that of Ling's. But she all threw herself on Si Yan, so Li Liangxun and Li Sijin were extremely frugal in food and clothing.

Shaohua hurriedly told Ling that if he really agreed to Li Sijin's request, in fact, it was only Li Sijin and his wife who were wronged. It would be better to deduct some from the use of their room from that month and slowly fill it. Wanhua also persuaded that Li Sijin has always been respectful and affinity for Xiyuan, and there is no need to quarrel with him. Besides, Wanhua has to ask his brother and sister-in-law to add makeup when he goes out. If his salary is deducted, what will they use to add makeup? This made Ling's temper down, and Li Sijin was very grateful to the two sisters.

"Auntie, what if my wife knows this?" Jinhua rubbed his handkerchief and looked at Su, who was leaning against ** with a pale and haggard face. In fact, the fifth sister is not too bad for me. If her reputation is gone, how can she get married in the future?

"It's not promising!" Su rarely scolded her daughter so much, and a scolding immediately scared her. Su restrained his expression and taught his daughter: "Think about what kind of treatment you received before she came back, and what kind of treatment you are now. Not to mention anything else, when you were in Pu'an, was it not enough for you to be white-eyed by the Ling family? She grew up in Pu'an. If it weren't for her, the Ling family could have deliberately fallen into your father's face. Even if it's not your wife, at least you are your father's daughter.

Jinhua was immediately out of his mind when he remembered his days in Pu'an.

When Su saw that she could understand, she warmed her breath, "I don't know what good luck she has, and even the royal family looks on her. If she really becomes the imperial concubine, she will have to trample you flat in the future, let her have an accident with Langjun of Xingyong Bofu, and see if the royal palace dares to ask for her.

"But what if she finally marries into Xingyongbo Mansion." Jinhua is also a little jealous of Shaohua. Obviously, he is as late as she is, but how many people have remembered it, and they all have a head and face, and even the royal palace have come to ask.

Su didn't care, "Who doesn't know that Yan Kaizhi is not interested in women? Otherwise, children can make soy sauce at this age, and he still refuses to get married." Su's understanding of men said that people like Yan Kaizhi are unreliable. If you want to say that you are promiscuous and lustful, you don't even have a personal concubine, and you don't even refuse to look at others. Instead, you have a pair with Lang Jun of Anqing Houfu. Isn't it a trick? In Su's dictionary, it is understandable that men refuse to get married, but there is not even a woman, which is abnormal.

"Auntie, the one in Anqing Houfu has been kissed." Jinhua whispered.

"So what? Do you really think Yan Kaizhi will look at Wu Niang?" Su's eyes sank, behind his back, and hid his ferocious eyes for a moment. Wanhua's marriage has been completed. She can't intervene, but Shaohua is still young. Su thought that Ling could have the means to make Li Xunzhuo ignore her, and she would never let Ling live a comfortable life.

Since Shaohua came back, Su feels that her and Jinhua's status in Xiyuan is getting worse day by day. At this point, Ling is certainly the mastermind, but Shaohua is at least an accomplice. She has been operating painstakingly for so many years and begging to please Li Xunzhuo in order to sit on an equal footing with the Ling family and let Jinhua get married. Now they are all ruined. Su can't swallow this breath.

"Qi Niang, you are not cruel. You must know that being soft to others is cruel to yourself. You can complain that I gave birth to you and gave you the identity of a concubine, but if you don't argue, you can only be the same as me in the future, and your child is the same as you. Su changed his usual weak image and his eyes became sharp.

Jinhua looked a little embarrassed, but he was afraid of Su's eyes and could only nod.

"However, no one noticed this time, and even the second brother covered up for the fifth sister." Jinhua said cautiously.

"That's because she bought people's hearts well, and even the second young master listened to her." Su was a little reluctant, and then said seriously to Jinhua, "Listen. Soon it will be your second brother's happy day. At that time, there will be many upstarts in the dynasty. Wangsun nobles will come to congratulate you, and you should have to look at yourself. She can only play the lute, and you can't play the piano. Can't she do it?

Jinhua's face changed, "Does your aunt want me to play the piano for them outside?" That's what only rakugi and actors do.

Su Shi glanced at her and said, "Who let you go outside? Can't you play Bi Wuxuan?"

Jinhua thought for a moment and suddenly realized that there was a road from the gate to the garden, passing through Biwuxuan. At that time, although Biwuxuan does not allow outsiders to enter, it is also possible to pass through the door. As long as she can play a song as amazing as Shaohua, she will definitely be as famous in the capital as Shaohua.

Since Ling refused to give her a chance, she had to fight for it by herself.

Shaohua, who was sitting in the room and buried his head in embroidery, suddenly trembled. He was shocked. Chu He, who was beside him, came over and asked, "What's wrong with the fifth lady? Is it cold?"

Shaohua looked at the sun outside. In this weather, Duanyang has passed, only hot, how can it be cold?

"It's okay. I feel that my eyebrows have been jumping." She has been very good recently. She hasn't gone out or made trouble. She shouldn't provoke people.

"Maybe you have been too distracted recently. Why don't I rub it for you?" Chu He laughed. It was rare for Shaohua to pick up the needle and thread again and asked Chu He to give him some advice, which made Wanhua shout amazing. If Mother Rong knew this, she would have to scare off her eyes.

Shaohua ignored her sarcasm and thought that Yan Kaizhi accidentally saw the braised duck's purse when he was in Xingyongbo's house. As a result, he laughed facelessly. She was so ashamed that she was ashamed, so she decided to embroider a handful of the bag to show him next time. However, listening to Wanhua's ridicule, she also felt that she refused to embroider a pattern seriously under the majesty of Mama Rong, but now because of this ridiculous reason, Mama Rong knew that she had to be angry.

Shaohua shook his head, "No, I'll continue to practice."

She must embroider this purse before Li Sinian's happy day.
