Chapter 30 The partition is like a mountain

"What are you talking about? You are so happy."

Yan Sui's timely arrival saved Yichen's helplessness. He looked sideways at his brother, who had always been confident and energetic, and unexpectedly avoided in front of Shaohua. This made her curious and looked at the calligraphy and pen, ink, paper and inkstone under the eaves. Shaohua didn't wait for her to speak and greeted her with a bright face. "Sister Yan Sui, you came just in time. Brother Yichen wanted to find you, but he was embarrassed to go to the wrong yard, but he asked me for a post."

In a word, he lightly brought the reason for Yichen's appearance.

"Brother is really, even this is wrong. It's not intentional." Yan Sui walked over, gently touched Yichen with her hand, and looked at him with a bad smile.

Yichen couldn't hold his face because of her. He turned his head and stared at her. Yan Sui puffed her cheeks and looked like you can do anything about me. Shaohua noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and coughed gently: "Sister Yan Sui, I don't know how many needles on the needle line, and I just want to ask you."

Yichen found the steps and answered, "You are busy if you have something to do. It's time for me to go back to study." With that, he hugged his fist and left. Yan Sui shouted remortfully, "Brother, what haven't you said about looking for me?" Yi Chen turned around anxiously, and Yan Sui was sure that Yi Chen would not bully her in front of Shaohua and smiled happily.

After sending Yichen away, Shaohua was relieved and decided to go to Ling later and ask her to replace the doorkeeper's mother. Although there was nothing to say in Li's house, like today, she didn't stay or rush, and she wasted a few words in vain. However, for the sake of his good news, Shaohua decided to treat Yichen better. Maybe his help for her happiness.

Shaohua ordered the maid to pack up his things and brought Yan Sui into the house. He was about to get the embroidered basket and pretend to ask a few questions.

Unexpectedly, Yan Sui said first, "Five sister, what do you think of my brother?"

Shaohua glanced at him and said, "I'm in good spirits." Chu He had told the little maid to have tea. Shaohua did not go to see Yan Sui, but drank tea leisurely.

Yan Sui rolled her eyes and sat down next to her, "I'm not asking you this. Do you see? He's good to you." Shaohua paused, "How can I see it?" Yan Sui took a sip, was scalded, put the cup back on the table, and said to Shaohua seriously, "My brother is polite and cold to people, but he whispers softly to his fifth sister, even if I rarely listen to my brother's gentle words."

"Oh, it must be Sister Yan Sui who often makes Brother Yichen angry." Shaohua's answer made Yan Sui very dissatisfied. She caught a sharp glimpse of the pearl hairpin on Yan Sui's bun, "Fourth brother is also good to Sister Yan Sui."

Yan Sui immediately panicked and quickly waved his hand: "No, the fourth brother always likes to quarrel with me. He is good to you. He often tells me that your sisters are good."

"Does the fourth brother often talk to you?" Shaohua heard the topic change and changed to a flattering smile.

"Yes, we always see the fourth brother every day, when I go to visit my sixth aunt." Yan Sui stopped her words alertly, "Five sister, I want to say something from you. In fact, I know that my brother has five sisters in his heart, and he has never been so good to his third sister. Since the time we went out, when my brother paid for the fifth sister to buy a pen, the fifth sister should have known.

"I will tell my mother to send this account back." Shaohua nodded.

Yan Sui said curiously, "I don't know if the fifth sister is really shy or fake. You know that's not what I mean."

"What does Sister Yan Sui mean? When the exam is approaching, isn't Sister Yan Sui more worried about the homework of the fourth brother and Yichen brother? Shaohua's words stopped Yan Sui. Seeing that Ling took Wanhua with him every day and tremblingly ate and worshipped Buddha for his future son-in-law, even Liu no longer welcomed guests, but changed to chanting scriptures in the house.

Nowadays, Ling basically has no time to pay attention to her. In addition to reciting Buddha, she also has to keep an eye on Wanhua to learn to study physicianists. Fortunately, Wanhua has followed Ling since he was a child and studied quickly, but if it hadn't been Wanhua's reminder, Ling almost forgot Shaohua again. Another difference between the direct daughter and the common daughter is that the direct daughter is the head of a large family. When she gets married, she may have to touch the account book, and the common daughter is more aunts, so naturally she doesn't have to touch her hands.

When the two sisters walked into Xiyuan hand in hand, they heard Ling's roar. The two looked at each other and looked at each other. They secretly said in their hearts that they didn't know who was stepping on Ling's tail again. These days, she was particularly irritable.

"What's going on with this account!" Ling threw a thick account book on the table and stood under the hall. A man of about 40 suddenly shivered. His originally curled body lowered his head silently and did not look at Ling. Raise your waste! This is the first time I've told you that if there is such an account in the future, I will take them to Xuyuan. It's hung here every time. After a year, the rent collected is not enough for their expenses!"

The accountant bowed his head aggrievedly and said nothing. Both of them were masters. What could he say? It was to lead them to Xuyuan, but Liu said lightly, "The account room should be cushioned first, and then go back to Xuyuan to make up for it." Can he say no? Can he refuse? After careful calculation, Xuyuan is still a big house, but Li Liangxun has an official position, so he handed over all the farmland rent to Li Xunzhuo and his wife. What can't be reconciled between this master? How big can his small account room be?

Ling was not relieved after scolding. He picked up the account book and fell again. This time, he fell far away and flew straight to the door, which shocked the girls who had just come in.

"Mother, what's the matter? I heard your voice from afar." Wan Hua saw the pitiful eyes for help in the accounting room and nodded to him, "Uncle Zhang, go down first if you have nothing to do. We have something to say with A Niang." Uncle Zhang, who was in the accounting room, almost knelt down and hurriedly gave it to Ling and his two wives, almost fled.

Shaohua bent down and picked up the account book on the ground. The dense and fine accounts on it made people dizzy. He flipped through it casually and remembered that it was Xuyuan all over.

Seeing the arrival of the two women, the maids all over the room breathed a sigh of relief. Lian Xiang blessed them gratefully and hurried out to show them tea. Where's Mother Cui? Why is there only Lianxiang? Shaohua looked at it for a moment and asked curiously.

Wan Hua squeezed his lips and whispered, "Mother Cui went back to read the book."

"Is the book going to get married?" Shaohua was shocked.

Ling took a look at Shaohua and his tone eased a lot. "Why don't you have such a long memory? If your sister goes through the door, the book will be brought there." Cui's mother obviously didn't want her daughter to be a concubine in the future. She beg for her life early and matched the book first. When Wanhua went out, she would marry her. If you go a little further, Wanhua has a body and can help take care of the children.

Ling knew Cui's mother's plan and agreed with her idea. She had been annoyed by Su and didn't want her daughter to have some wife and concubine disputes after going out. Rarely, Princess Yinghua's mansion is very strict, and there are only two maids in Fan Erlang's house. They have clean hands and feet and will not make trouble. Ling's own suffering naturally didn't want his daughter to be the same, so when he was in charge of Langjun, he also knew the number of maids in the house very well.

"Oh." Shaohua nodded obediently and handed over the account book. As soon as Ling saw the account book, she was so angry that she was so scared that she could not put the account book or collect it. Wanhua took the account book in her hand, helped Ling clean up the messy account book, and asked puzzledly, "Mother, what are you angry about? Is the account room lazy, or did you make the wrong account? Isn't it that some stewid mother stole water?

"Is it Xuyuan?" Shaohua looked at the two of them and said innocently, "I just looked at the account book and remembered that they were all Xuyuan's accounts."

Ling said with a calm face, "That's what I said at the beginning. You can't write two Li characters in one stroke. Since your father is not an official, he will give him all the land rental of your family. I thought it was a generous thing, but now it seems to be for them to work for nothing. Lianxiang brought the tea water, and Wanhua ended up with a teacup and handed it to Ling. While giving her a good breath, he said, "How can it be for nothing? Isn't the entry of this account clearly written?"

"What do you know! Your uncle and brother's monthly salary is not included in the account, and they are all under his own pressure, but their little expenses are all paid by the account. During the Spring Festival, the whole Li family's moon silver, the four seasons of clothes for food and accommodation, which is not given by the account room. Ling took the account book, turned over a few pages, pointed to the black and white paper on it and said, "Look, these pages, and these, are all Xuyuan's accounts. Forget the 60th birthday gift of the Marquis of Xiangyang. The wife and the wife of the prince's family want to give gifts, the commoner of the general's mansion to marry his daughter-in-law, and Zhang Sanli's promotion to give gifts. They don't treat silver as silver, thinking that silver will have children by themselves.

Shaohua was amused by Ling's last sentence, laughed out inappropriately, and was immediately kicked by Wanhua.

She looked aggrievedly at Wanhua to comfort the Ling family and slandered in her heart. Li Liangxun and Li Sijin's own monthly salary were naturally handed over to their own management. How could they be handed over to the account room? This was no better than when Mrs. Li was in charge. Moreover, since the second room is in charge of family affairs, the trivialities are naturally under the control of Ling's family.

"Mom, this has always been like this. There is no reason for you to give us the monthly salary of uncle and big brother, right? Wanhua's words fell in Shaohua's heart, looked at her nodded like pounding garlic, and scolded her softly, "Dog legs will respond."

Shaohua didn't care and rubbed over with a smile, but Ling still trembled with anger, "Before? In the past, it was even worse. Your father bought something big and sent it to Huansiyuan for three or two days. There are so many fields and pavements at home, and the total amount of money can be collected in a year can be calculated. Even if I'm not greedy, I'm not a head. I'll divide them into three parts, and Xuyuan has already spent their share. If it's extra, I won't give it out. I still hope to draw the share of the garden according to the head.

Hearing this, Shaohua and Wanhua couldn't help but be surprised. How can this be?" There is only one person left in the garden, and Erlang Li Sinian has not yet returned home. In terms of share, the garden is indeed the thickest.

"Why not? It's famous every time. This time, both of the Liu family were included in Xuyuan. In order to give them an exam, they filled in a lot of tonic soup. It also took hundreds of taels to fix this in the courtyard where Mrs. Yan lived. Not to mention that Silang often goes out and goes on credit everywhere, he has to pay back hundreds of taels of silver every month. The more Ling said, the more painful his heart became, "I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, I'll even have to pay for the dowry for your sisters!"

The sisters looked at each other, but they didn't expect Si Yan to take them out so generously. It turned out that they were all supported by their families.

"So, can't you discuss it with Burm?" Shaohua asked carefully.

"Discussion? If I say a few more words, your father will think I'm small-hearted. Ling held his forehead and sighed, was silent for a long time, and shook his head and said, "Well, from next month, all rooms and courtyards will be reduced by 30%. This year, the land is already unlucky. I'm afraid that the harvest at the end of the year is not as good as usual. If it goes on like this, this year will be sad.
