Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 162 Mean
Mammy Xiong's tone remained the same, but the expression on her face changed, her smile gradually narrowed, her eyes turned from gentle to sharp, she stared at Liu Yuniang, as if she wanted to see something dark and sneaky, Liu Yuniang's heart jumped When it reached her throat, when she sent Fifth Master out, she was tired of being in Fifth Master's arms and wanted to be tender for a while. Because of this, the knife pierced through her shoulder blade into her chest. , which woman is not jealous?If it offends the concubine, she will find any excuse, even if she doesn't need to find an excuse, just to express her displeasure, then don't think about her entering the mansion, since she is a lowly person, that's the prince's mansion!

Liu Yuniang had already weighed seventy or eighty past in her heart, and looked at Mammy Xiong and explained with a smile: "I sent the prince out and was about to go back, who knew that there was a ghost in the corner at a glance, and there is It was so dark, I was terrified, and rushed over to try to push the prince out, and the mama also knew what the status of the prince is, if there is something wrong with playing in the Moon Tower, it would be a terrible thing."

"So, Lady Liu sensed something was wrong first, so she rushed to save our prince?" Mammy Xiong's expression changed back in the blink of an eye, as if she was more gentle and amiable than before. He nodded and said, "I thought it was a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be an assassin. It's really scary."

"Mistress Liu thought of saving the prince first when she felt something was wrong. The prince is really thanks to Lady Liu this time. Otherwise, even if his life is safe, he will be injured if he is appointed. Maybe the injury is not serious. I thank Lady Liu first. , Go back and report to our concubine, the concubine does not know how grateful she is, Mrs. Liu is recovering well, I will go back and report to our concubine, and then I will visit Mrs. Liu." Mammy Xiong thanked Mrs. Liu with a heartfelt smile, and left.

In the dark room at the back of the house, the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Mr. Jiang, the staff member of the First Prince's Mansion, came out one after the other, quietly left the small courtyard, and entered the lakeside courtyard dedicated to the Fifth Prince.

"Did she really feel something was wrong?" The eldest prince looked at the fifth prince and asked in confusion. The fifth prince frowned and thought for a while and said, "I saw the assassin, that is, the moment before the assassin launched, she was facing the assassin, what did she do?" Did you see it when? It's impossible? She wasn't telling the truth." The eldest prince also frowned, staring blankly at the lake outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking, Mr. Jiang was a little far away from the two, thoughtful He stared at the first prince, and after a while, the first prince turned his head to look at the fifth prince and said, "I mean, this Liu Yuniang can't enter your house, so leave her to me."

"Leave it to you? You?" The fifth prince swallowed the question with his throat stuck: "Well, okay, it's best, I just go there often to listen to her songs. I can't take her into the mansion just because of this, even if she saved me, I don't intend to take her into the mansion, at most I can give her more money, what else can I do?"

The eldest prince gave a absent-minded 'hmm', and walked out, while saying: "Even if this matter is over, there is no need to mention it in the future, by the way, have you selected the long history of your house?"

"Not yet. I had two of them on my mind. One was determined to find another job, so there was only one left. Brother, when you have time, help me to see. I have never picked someone before. I am afraid that I will pick the wrong one. I am not afraid if I have no skills. I'm afraid that something will happen again." The fifth prince replied casually, and the first prince simply responded: "Okay, I'm a little free tomorrow morning, you bring him over to look for me." The fifth prince agreed, and sent the eldest prince out of the side door. He watched the car turn a corner, and then turned back with a folding fan. He turned a few times, but did not return to the small courtyard by the lake. He went out through the front door and went to the teahouse next to Jieyufang. He asked Sun Liu to inquire about Guan Tong's details. , and made an appointment to meet at that teahouse.

Mr. Jiang and the first prince sat opposite each other in the car. The first prince lifted the curtain of the car, looked out, turned his head to look at Mr. Jiang and said, "Tell Mr. Hai that Liu Yuniang's injury is very serious, and such a serious injury is very easy to repeat. , has always been close to death." After a pause, the eldest prince added with a solemn face: "Let Mr. Hai arrange it carefully, and there must be no abnormality. Maybe she really belongs to that person, so let's treat her as that person. Don’t make anything wrong over there.”

"Yes, don't worry, my lord." Hearing what the eldest prince said, Mr. Jiang's expression was more serious than his.

The eldest prince raised his head, his forehead lightly pressed against the carriage board, he closed his eyes, with a trace of pity in his exhaustion, after a long while, he sighed long and hard, and said in a low voice: "It would be great if my mother was alive."

Half a month later, Liu Yuniang died quietly in the courtyard behind the Qingfeng Tower due to repeated injuries and persistent high fever.

Under the outer corridor of the conference hall of Jin'an County King's Mansion, Gu Deqing stood among the stewards without moving forward or backward, watching the six roads and listening to all directions, standing in the front row of the stewards, waiting to enter the kitchen to buy Dai Gui A little restless, I glanced at the dozen or so shopkeepers standing in the corner of the yard from time to time. Two of the dozen or so shopkeepers were his acquaintances. Delivering oil, what did you ask them to do?Why didn't he know about calling them here?
Dai Gui moved anxiously, what does it mean?He took care of the kitchen purchases, he really didn't dare to do anything, he just followed the rules, there are purchase rules, even though he said it was forbidden, but it is the prince's mansion after all, it has to be done according to the royal rules , what can she do?The more Dai Gui thought about it, the more determined he became, he took a deep breath involuntarily, put his hands down behind his back, and stood steadily waiting for the summons.

The curtain was lifted, the girl came out and called Dai Gui in, and a dozen shopkeepers standing in a corner of the courtyard also entered the meeting hall together. Gui and the others look at the shadows on the screen, Li Tian looks at Dai Gui and the others through the screen, even though they are separated by a veil, they are quite clear.

Lu Lian held the account book, and said in a calm and rigid voice: "In terms of rice grain, last month, a total of two hundred shi of Lumi was collected from the prince and princess. As a rule, 72 renminbi is used as a block, which is 77 renminbi less than 7 renminbi per block in Guanmo, and the total income is 77 renminbi; a total of [-] shi for high-grade rice, [-] shi for medium-grade rice, and [-] shi for high-grade rice. There are three sacks of stone, two sacks per stone for medium rice, but it is paid for by Guanmo [-]..."

Lulian's numbers reported like flowing water, Dai Gui's head buzzed, how could the account be so detailed?How can there be such an accountant?After all, which manager can do it?Low out high in, this is the rule!
"The quality of Lumi is uneven, so it's common sense that you can't sell it at a price." Dai Gui was frightened for a while, angry for a while, and quickly thinking about how to explain it, but he didn't notice that Lulian had finished reading, and Li Tian's voice was natural The news came out from behind the screen, after hearing this sentence, Dai Gui felt a little relieved, what he said was quite fair.

"Since that's the case, it's better to sell this Lumi to Qianchunfang to make wine. This kills two birds with one stone. I have already told the treasurer Yao of Qianchunfang to take it in at the price of one stone and one min. Let's start from this month, every month Shopkeeper Yao will go to the household department to collect the Lumi, and the two hundred coins will be credited to Lvlian's account, and Manager Dai will not have to deal with the matter of Lumi." Li Tian's words were as soft as a spring breeze, but Dai Gui's face turned pale when he heard it. A few words took away a huge benefit from him.

"Nurse Wen, please read the number of rice that the kitchen received last month and tell Steward Dai." Li Tian's voice sounded again. Next to him, Nurse Wen opened the booklet and slowly recited the number of rice that each kitchen received every ten days. The amount of rice received: "...a total of 170 shi for high-grade rice and 74 shi for medium-grade rice. The receipts are all here. There are the handprints of the woman who received the rice and the handprint of the guy who sent the rice." Sister Wen scanned Dai With one glance, he closed the booklet.

Dai Gui "huh" turned her head and stared at the screen, what did she mean?
"The rice was sent by Hesheng Rice Bank, shopkeeper Sun, your account at Hesheng Rice Bank is very wrong, Taozhi, copy a copy of the account to Shopkeeper Sun, and ask him to go back and check the account himself, and recalculate the account " Li Tian ignored Dai Gui, and directly called shopkeeper Sun of Hesheng Mihang to give instructions. Shopkeeper Sun was so miserable that he could wring out half a pot of Coptis chinensis juice, stared at Dai Gui, and bowed in agreement.

"Bring in the rice." Li Tian ordered again, and the two women came in with half a bag of rice each. Li Tian continued: "Please look at the rice, and then quote a price. Where can I order rice grains for next year?"

Several shopkeepers looked at each other, walked forward a few steps, reached out and took a few grains of rice and twisted them casually. They knew it clearly in their hearts and were about to speak, but saw a few girls coming out with paper and pens in their hands. Darkly.

Dai Gui stood by the side in a daze, already stupid, he had never even heard of such a headed mistress.

Several shopkeepers quoted the price, and the most expensive one was only the top-grade rice for a sliver and a stone. Li Tian ordered two rice grain shops. When the shopkeepers left the meeting room, Dai Gui was still standing there with his hands down. What should he do?What else can I do with this errand?
"Princess even manages such a small matter like this, so what's the use of us in charge?" Dai Gui also went all out, staring directly at the back of the screen.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. How can it be a trivial matter?" Li Tian's voice was still so gentle and indifferent: "Besides, I am a housewife, and I take care of such small things. If there are any big things, then It's the prince who should take care of it. As for the use of a steward like you that Steward Dai said, I was thinking about it. Since Steward Dai has also thought about this, let's think about it together, what is the use of you?"

The words spoken in a gentle voice were extremely mean. Dai Gui's face was flushed with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "The princess is so mean, isn't she afraid of getting a bad reputation? Even if the princess doesn't care, why don't you think about it for the prince?"

After a while, there was a chuckle from behind the screen: "I can't help you cheating and blackmailing, are you being mean? Are you really a prince and I can be bullied by you? If you say being mean, then be mean. He will be dismissed from his post and kicked out." !"
