Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 41 Unusual Numbers

Ning'er read a book for a while, looked up at her mother for a while, and shook her feet happily from time to time.

Gongbi outside the door took a sneaky look, and seeing Ming Lanying was concentrating on the account book, she also boldly gave Ning'er a second look, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Ning'er heard the whispering voice outside the door, looked over in puzzlement, and saw that Gong Bi outside the door was peeping at him, scratched her head and thought for a while, when Gong Bi's sister probed again, she raised a sweet voice. smile.

"Is sister okay?"

That smile seemed to be sweet to the heart, the cute and cute doll, with a soft voice, called her sister softly, the two palace servants blushed with joy, subconsciously followed him and lowered their voices.

"No, nothing, what's your order, young master?"

Ning'er shook her head, turned her head to read and look at her mother, as long as she doesn't make a sound to disturb her.

Gong Bi saw that he was very well-behaved and easy to talk, so he boldly brought over two plates of small snacks. Ning Er glanced at his mother who was immersed in the account book, turned her head and thanked Gong Bi sweetly, and each took a sip , picked something delicious and wanted to bring it to Ming Lanying, but was stopped by a palace servant.

"Don't worry, young master. Mrs. Ming's heart is full of worries when she looks at the account book. If you take it over, it will affect your thoughts."

Ming Lanying has served her before, so not disturbing her is the best help for her.

Ning'er had no choice but to give up, leaving delicious snacks for her mother to eat after rest, and thanked her with a serious face on her cute, white and tender face, "Thank you sister for reminding me."

It was another cute crit, which directly captured the hearts of two senior court ladies, making it unbearable for him to suffer a little bit of grievance, so he hurriedly cleaned up the scrolls around Ning'er to make him more comfortable.

"Slave servant Xuexia, the young master should just call the servant girl by name."

"Sister Xuexia."

"Slave Biyun, if you have something to do, please call your servant directly."

Ning'er nodded obediently, "I know Sister Biyun."

Bi Yun replied restrainedly, and the corners of the mouths of both of them couldn't help raising their mouths.

"Young master, do you want to take a walk in the yard? The maid will take you for a walk?"

"No, I want to accompany mother."

"The servant is waiting outside the door. If you have something to do, please call the servant directly."

Ming Lanying frowned and looked at the muddled account in her hand, and raised her voice and said loudly: "Come on, who has recorded the account books for the past few years?"

Xuexia and Biyun looked at each other, this was the first time they heard Ming Lanying speak in such a tone in two days, their hearts skipped a beat, and they went in to check in a little panic.

Ming Lanying patted the pile of ledgers beside her with a sullen face, "Who recorded this pile of ledgers?"

Before Xuexia and Biyun were sent here, they had been instructed by some officials of the transfer department to make it easier for Ming Lanying to check the accounts if there was something she didn't understand, so they specially trained them for a period of time to supplement their knowledge, which account books They also know all about which adult is in charge.

The two of them got closer, looked at it twice and raised their heads in confusion, "Mrs. Ye, I don't know which adult wrote this stack of accounts."

Biyun searched for the time in a panic, but couldn't remember which adult was in charge of the account book in this area during this period, and kowtowed twice, "Madam Ye, please forgive me, I really don't know which adult it is, Why don't you go and invite the Minister of the Household Department? The emperor has ordered to meet all the needs of Mrs. Ye, please rest assured Mrs. Ye."

Ming Lanying rubbed her forehead, "Forget it, don't worry, get up, find a red rope, tie it up and put it aside, what time is it?"

"Yes." Xuexia hurriedly went to look for the red rope, Biyun moved the stack of account books aside, and glanced at the carved stone clock in the yard, "Going back to Mrs. Ye, it's six quarters in the afternoon, do you want lunch?"

Just as Ming Lanying wanted to say forget it, she remembered that she brought her son into the palace, and before she could speak, Ning'er ran over with a snack.

"Mom, you're going to rest, you haven't had any water for two hours."

Ming Lanying raised her hands as if surrendering, "Okay, rest, let's have lunch."

Biyun blessed Fushen, bowed and retreated.

After a while, he came back and took the two of them to the dining hall, "Mrs. Ye please, young master please."

Ming Lanying nodded, and wanted to say thanks only to realize that she didn't know their names yet, so Ning'er mentioned her first, "Thank you, Sister Biyun."

Biyun smiled slightly, "Young master, you are being polite."

"Miss Biyun, let's eat together."

Breaking away from the ocean of account books, Ming Lanying returned to a gentle and friendly state. Looking at the dishes on a large table, it seemed a bit wasteful for the two of them to eat.

When Bi Yun heard this, she immediately knelt down, "I don't dare, Madam Ye has beaten the servant!"

"Hey? You get up first." Ming Lanying was a little unaccustomed to them kneeling down at every turn, her life would be shortened!
"Mrs. Xie Ye."

After Bi Yun got up, she lowered her head and stood aside respectfully, "Please Mrs. Ye and Young Master, let's have dinner first, servants serve dishes."

Ming Lanying sighed helplessly, "Forget it, you guys go down and rest."

Biyun hesitated for a moment, then bowed and retreated.

Ming Lanying hugged Ning'er and sat on a chair, "Ning'er, are you hungry?"

Ning'er shook her head, and took a piece of ribs for Ming Lanying, "Mother is exhausted, please eat more."

Ming Lanying rubbed her precious son, "After the meal, mother will take you to digest the food, okay? You've been bored all morning, haven't you?"

Ming Lanying was thinking about how to get Biyun to take them to the East Palace later, but Ning'er shook her head again, "Ning'er is not boring being with mother, and Sister Biyun and Sister Xuexia are talking to Ning'er, And bring tea to Ning'er."

Biyun is the round-eyed court lady with double hair, Xuexia is the oval-faced court lady with single bun, both of them are slim and beautiful ladies with delicate eyebrows and eyes.

"Really? Then my mother will thank the two sisters later."

The royal chef in the palace was very skilled, Ming Lanying ate enough, and also fed Ning'er to her full, as soon as the mother and daughter stepped out of the dining hall, Xuexia and Biyun came to serve tea.

"Please Mrs. Ye and Young Master to wash their mouths, and this servant will take Mrs. Ye and Young Master to the garden to digest food."

"Okay." Ming Lanying agreed to be able to visit the garden of the East Palace, and after a walk after dinner, all the meat slipped away.

After sitting for a long time, Ming Lanying's shoulders and back were also a little sore, and her head was a little dazed by the account book. This familiar feeling made people feel sad.

There are also garden rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, and green lake pavilions in the Prince's East Palace.Xuexia and Biyun lead the way, introducing a few words from time to time, Ming Lanying and Ning'er stop and go behind, and finally stop on the small bridge to watch the koi in the lake.

Ning'er had never seen such a beautiful koi. She leaned on the guardrail and watched curiously. The sparkling blue lake surface shone brighter than diamonds.More than a dozen koi in the lake gathered at Ning'er's side, forming a fan shape. The color of red and gold was extremely pure, without even a trace of impurities, which surprised Ming Lanying.

Biyun was careful, pointed to the fish in the lake and introduced to Ning'er: "Look, young master, this is the scarlet carp, this is the golden carp, the emperor has raised them since he was a child, and the emperor has specially ordered them to be well cared for. Some of them are 46 years old."

"Wow! That's amazing! Mother, look, it's a fish!"

Ning'er's big bright eyes gleamed with joy, brighter than the sparkling waves on the lake, Ming Lanying smiled and rubbed his head.

"Well, this is a koi carp, which can bring good luck to people."

"why?"

"It was the koi who told my mother, because they can leap over the dragon's gate, bring happiness to people, and make them prosperous."

Ning'er wrinkled her small face and thought seriously, Biyun and Xuexia looked at each other and smiled, thinking that Ming Lanying was just trying to coax the children, but in fact Ning'er knew that her mother would not lie to him, because mother really understands fish talking .

Xuexia handed over a plate of fish food, Ming Lanying thanked with a smile, pinched a pinch to feed the fish, the koi in the lake scrambled for food.

The biggest scarlet carp spit out a bubble leisurely, "Don't talk nonsense, we never said these words, you mortals imposed on us, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. "

Ming Lanying rubbed a lump of fish food and threw it on the big scarlet carp's head, but it spat out a bubble to block it.

Ming Lanying: "..." As expected of an old thing that has lived for 46 years.

After taking a walk and feeding the fish, Ming Lanying was going back to work, and Ning'er obediently followed.

Normally, after lunch, it was Ninger's nap time. Today he stayed with Ming Lanying with his weak eyelids. The study was quiet except for the sound of paper rubbing against each other. ordered.

Biyun outside the door took a look twice, saw that little head was about to touch the table several times, a little frightened, looked back again and saw that Ning'er was about to fall crookedly, she hurriedly wanted to make a sound, and suddenly dragged her hands Ning'er's crooked body was caught.

Biyun's cry was stuck in her throat, and those white white hands gently held Ning'er's sleepy little head, her sleeves were rolled up to reveal a white and slender forearm, two spots of ink were stained on her white wrist, It is in stark contrast to Ruyu's skin.

Ming Lanying gently picked up Ning'er, patted her comfortingly, walked slowly outside the door, and asked softly, "Miss Biyun, is there any room for you to rest?"

Biyun nodded, Xuexia trotted to open the door and make the bed, the guest room where Ming Lanying arranged to rest was in the side hall next to the study, with good lighting and ventilation.

Ming Lanying gently took off Ning'er's shoes and coat, covered her with the quilt, and went out lightly.

The sun was shining today, the sky was as blue as washing, Ming Lanying stretched her waist, her joints creaked, fearing that Ning'er would be scared when she woke up, so she asked Biyun to stay and take care of her.

Taking Xuexia back to the study and continuing to sort out the account books, it took a day and a half to sort out the account books related to the embezzlement case before the emperor's ascension to the throne, centering on the few account books that were used as evidence at that time, and expanding the network of relationships , the relevant account books have been moved.

She first glanced at the account book that recorded the embezzlement of the emperor with conclusive evidence, and she didn't feel that there was any problem after going through it roughly, but her intuition from years of experience in auditing accounts told her that the problem was not simple.

Frowning lightly, he wrote down a few strange places, then threw the corruption account book aside, and checked the various account books in those years, starting from farmland taxes, to public debt banks, government taxes, food and salaries, a little bit. Find out a little bit about the relationship inside.

Much of the political situation at that time can be seen from the ledgers. By comparing the amount of money and the amount of money, you can know what the year was like and what major events happened.

Xuexia changed her cup of tea on time but didn't notice, and didn't know that the emperor had come here secretly.

Xuexia's first reaction outside the door was to kneel and salute, but was stopped by the emperor's look, Defu pointed inside, Xuexia bowed her head and said softly.

"Mrs. Ye buried her heart in the account books. If the young master hadn't been here today, Mrs. Ye might not have salt water for another day."

The emperor took a sneak peek, and saw Ming Lanying sitting cross-legged on the ground among the piles of account books, and didn't notice anything unusual outside the door.

The emperor glanced around but did not see the child, and asked as if nothing had happened with his hands behind his back, "Where is the young master of the Ye family?"

"Go back to the emperor, the young master is resting in the side hall for lunch."

"I'll go and have a look."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Defu is familiar with every plant and tree in the Eastern Palace, and he still remembers the side hall next to the study. He turned into the side hall with the emperor in twos and threes. Defu gently opened the door, alarming the guarded Biyun inside.

Biyun thought it was Xuexia, but just as she was about to make a sound, she saw a bright yellow robe appearing at the door, she knelt down in fright.

"See my emperor, long live my emperor."

The emperor frowned dissatisfied, "Okay, keep your voice down, don't wake up the young master."

"Yes……"

The emperor came to see Ning'er in person, Biyun couldn't stay here any longer, so he bowed and retreated.

Defu stepped forward to take a peek, and let out a soft ouch, "Your Majesty, you see how much the young master looks like Ye Tongling when he was a child. His skin should be like his mother's, rosy in white, tender and lovely. .”

The emperor looked at Ning'er curiously, "It looks like him. I haven't seen him for almost three years. I don't know if he remembers me."

"I must remember." Defu said with a smile: "Young master is smart, you must still remember the emperor."

Seeing that Ning'er was sleeping soundly, the emperor couldn't disturb her, so he had no choice but to put away the red envelope carefully prepared for his little nephew, rolled up his sleeves and left.

"Let's go, let's go and see how capable that brat Ye Juelu is, whom he holds on top of his heart."

When Ming Lanying realized that the light behind her was blocked and raised her head in doubt, she saw a handsome man in a bright yellow brocade robe. Shui's peach-blossom eyes were forced out by him with a sense of oppression, majestic and majestic, making people daunting.

Ming Lanying also saw the smiling Father Defu behind him.

It was the first time for her to look directly at the emperor at such a close distance, without Defu's reminder, Ming Lanying quickly turned around and knelt down.It was the first time to kneel down to the emperor, this time Ming Lanying became a lot more proficient, and she comforted herself that at least she was kneeling to the emperor, the real dragon emperor, so she regarded it as worshiping and praying for blessings.

"The courtier's wife sees the emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ming Lanying hurriedly put down her rolled up sleeves and straightened her clothes, "Is the emperor here to check the post?"

"I'm just passing by to see Ning'er." The emperor glanced at the scrolls and rice papers full of books, and asked indifferently, "How do you look?"

Ming Lanying took out an account book that was sandwiched between two sheets of rice paper filled with writing, and handed it to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, my wife has just finished sorting out all the account books, and just after reading one, my wife found that there is something wrong with it." The expenditure and income of money for several months are really strange, and the income and expenditure are not right, and the outflow is also wrong."
