Kuai Chuan: What to do if you madly criticize beauties who refuse to be cannon fodder

Little Pudding smacked his lips.

"The original owner didn't even know how he died in the end, hey, it's too miserable."

"There are a lot of people who don't know how they died. Now that they know, let's see what else she can do."

Jiang Lai gained a lot of benefits because of a poem about Fengyue, because the original version of her poem was bought by the Eighth Prince, and someone else copied it and sold it in a bookstore, earning another sum of money.

The eighth prince also specially invited Jiang Lai to drink tea in the teahouse, and gave her the money by the way.

"We don't engage in literati's high-mindedness and regard money as dung. In my opinion, we can create better works only after we have enough food and drink, and we have no worries about food and clothing. So you can rest assured that you can keep the money and make persistent efforts in the future."

Of course Jiang Lai felt at ease, she didn't just go for these "dung".

After taking the money and chatting with the Eighth Prince for a while, Jiang Lai got up and left, found a good place to make clothes for himself, and bought a lot of jewelry along the way.

Back at the general's mansion, the mansion was deserted, the old lady stayed in the ancestral hall all day long, and Xu Ruling had basically seen no one since he was relieved of his post in charge of internal affairs not long ago.

The internal affairs of the General's Mansion are extremely simple, because there are only two people in the mansion that need to take care of, the old lady and Tie Yi, and there are not many servants. In addition, Tie Yi is hardly at home, so the old lady is very nervous. Don't show your face, the only thing Li Jianglai has to do is to take care of himself.

And Tie Yi really didn't care about anything, Jiang Lai started to check the previous account books again and found out that almost every month there were hundreds of taels of money in the mansion that were inconsistent.

As Jiang Lai, who used to be the overlord, she knows the financial situation like the back of her hand, and she can figure out the moths behind so many fake accounts in modern society, let alone a stack of account books in front of her eyes.

In just one day, she discovered many anomalies, and all of these anomalies were money drawn by Xu Ruling's servant girl.

"Looking at it this way, Xu Ruling took a huge sum of money not long ago in Beijing. From October last year to March this year, 8000 taels were inexplicably missing from his account in less than half a year."

This is not a small amount of money. The Hou Ye is a relative of the emperor and his salary for a month is only 30 taels, but such a general's mansion can lose 8000 taels in half a year. What's more terrible is that there is no one in the mansion. .

Little Pudding has no concept of money in this era.

But he also knew that this should be a considerable sum of money.

"Then what do we do now? Why do you check when the money is gone?"

Jiang Lai took a brush and circled all the problematic places on the ledger, lowering his eyes and said calmly.

"A family thief is also a thief. If you encounter a thief, report it to the official. It's only natural."

What nonsense, report directly to the official.

-

It was the first time Xu Ruling came to the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.

When Jiang Lai heard the report, he had just woken up, his face was unwashed, his hair was not combed, he was wearing a red undershirt tailored according to his own wishes, and he opened the door to receive guests.

Jiang Yu looked at the room in front of her.

Not to mention the sandalwood eight-step bed and the silk brocade quilt on the bed, the dressing table inlaid with tortoise shell shells diagonally opposite the bed is extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

Everywhere in the house is exquisite and luxurious, high-profile and dazzling. Jiang Lai is sitting as the hostess of the house, more like a noble lady who has been nourished by money, and her every move is leisurely.

Jiang Yu suppressed the strangeness in her heart and chatted with Jiang Lai for a few words.

"Father also fell ill not long ago, and His Majesty still has old feelings for him, so he didn't continue to investigate."

Jiang Lai listened and was unmoved.

"Well, is there anything else?"

Jiang Yu frowned, she didn't expect Jiang Lai to be so ruthless, she stepped on the reputation of the Hou Mansion and married into the General's Mansion, enjoying all the glory and wealth, completely forgetting about the Hou Mansion.

She also did not expect that Tie Yi would be so lavish and generous to Jiang Lai. Seeing that the decorations in the house are worth a lot, if it wasn't for Tie Yi's instruction, Jiang Lai would never be able to use these good things in his life .

I think that when Laihou's Mansion was not defeated, she was well-clothed and well-fed, but even then she was not as extravagant as Jiang Lai.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yu thought of a sentence she had heard in the folks for no reason.

The pheasant fell into the phoenix's nest, and with the phoenix feathers on it, it really thought it was a phoenix.

Before, she thought this sentence was extremely vulgar, but now that she saw Jiang Lai, she finally understood how reasonable this sentence was.

Isn't Jiang Lai just a pheasant pretending to be a real phoenix with the phoenix feather of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing Jiang Yu's eyes rolling wildly, Jiang Lai knew what was going on in her heart without guessing.

"Sister, do you want to stay and eat together? At noon, I will let the small kitchen do some simple cooking, and we sisters will have a meal together and chat?"

Jiang Yu didn't want to stay here any longer.

What's more, she didn't come here this time to find Jiang, so she said casually.

"Father and mother are still waiting to go back to eat. They are not in good health and cannot do without someone to take care of them. Jiang Lai, you just need to take care of yourself. You can help with the affairs of the Hou Mansion if you want, and don't force it if you don't want to.

There is still some time, I have something to do with Miss Xu. "

When Jiang Yu left, her back was straight and there was a kind of serenity in the days of an empty valley and orchid.

Little Pudding was a little curious.

"Do you want to know why she came to see Xu Ruling?"

"Do not want to."

"Yo, modified? I really don't want to know? I can try to help you eavesdrop."

Jiang Lai waved his hands indifferently.

Little Pudding snorted.

"Don't listen and pull down."

He listens to himself.

-

In Xu Ruling's room, Jiang Yu hesitated for a long time and finally explained the reason for his visit.

"If it wasn't really difficult, I wouldn't want to ask you."

When Xu Ruling heard that she was here to borrow money, she felt flattered in her heart, not only did not dare to put on airs, but even eagerly agreed.

This is Jiang Yu, she is so down and out that she needs to borrow money!

"3000 taels... Sister Yu, I do have the money, but why do you want so much?"

I thought it was only a few dozen taels, but this is already a lot, but I didn't expect Jiang Yu to pay 3000 taels immediately after opening his mouth!

"I knew you did, the general really treats you well."

Xu Ruling couldn't help laughing.

"The general is generous. Regardless of internal affairs, you said why you didn't want to marry in at the beginning. Then we can continue to be sisters in the mansion."

Jiang Yu smiled, but her eyes turned slightly cold.

At the beginning, her understanding of Tie Yi not only came from the outside world, but mostly from Xu Ruling's mouth.

She described Tie Yi as a murderous, cold-blooded beast, rough, ugly and illiterate.

How could she marry such a man? At that time, she was glad that it was Jiang Lai who married him, so that there was no possibility of feud with the General's House.
