Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 785 The Heart Has Thousands of Knots (13)

Lian'er opened the account book and looked again: "This... This is the book for buying vegetables in the government every day. It seems to be very neat, and occasionally there are deficiencies, but looking at this general account book, how could there be such a book five years ago? An empty copy of 3 taels of silver?"

Zhang Sheng frowned tightly: "Ma'am, I was negligent. Although I read the account books here before, I usually focused on those relatively heavy directions and ignored these small accounts in the courtyard."

Zhang Sheng reads the account book every day, but as the old housekeeper in the mansion, he does not need to personally come forward for many things.In addition, he still cared about the eldest lady, so naturally he couldn't fully interfere.

The prince also said when he went out that he might never come back to this mansion.Although he didn't say anything else, he acquiesced to let Yuan Hua's family live in the Shizi Mansion, and they were also called Da Furen.

Naturally, this is the tacit consent of Yuanhua's family, who are the masters of this Shizi Mansion.As for him, although he is still the old housekeeper, he is also the old housekeeper of the Yuan family.

Da Furen didn't know anything about ledgers before, and he taught them all by himself.At that time, he was still very small and worried about whether the eldest lady would take away all the rights in his hands after taking over the affairs of the mansion.

But over the years, none of the rights that should be in his hands have been lost.Zhang Sheng recognized and respected this eldest lady who had changed from a maid to the "hostess" of Shizifu.

But he never imagined that in the past, some petty profits that were occasionally made on needlework and the like would turn into such a big black hole at this moment.

"Who made all these money?" Lian'er asked with a frown.

Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth: "It's not sure yet, but it has something to do with Aunt Jiang."

Lian'er is not stupid, the man who dared to move such a large amount of money in this mansion started five years ago, and there should be no one else except Aunt Jiang.

"Have you found any evidence?" Lianer asked.

Zhang Sheng frowned again: "I have already sent someone to investigate."

Lian'er nodded, and just about to say something, she heard a servant shouting outside: "Madam, butler, there are guests here."

"Check from the secret, don't disturb her, so as not to startle the snake."

Zhang Sheng nodded again and again, Lian'er had already walked out quickly, with a gentle smile on his face: "Where are you and the master, have you passed?"

The boy nodded: "I have sent someone to pass the news, and I should have arrived in the front hall by now."

Lianer smiled: "Go down!"

Leaving Zhang Sheng behind, Lian'er walked quickly to her own courtyard, and at the same time called the maidservants who met on the way, and asked them to call all four children over.

The guests who came at this moment, Zhang Sheng had mentioned before, probably the empress and the others.

On the way to the front hall, I happened to meet Yuan Feng and his three younger siblings.Seeing her, Yuan Feng walked quickly to her and said, "Mother."

Lian'er smiled softly, then looked at Yuan Feiyan who was pouting slightly, and Yuan Feimeng who was frowning and looking at Yuan Feiyan with disgust: "You two, be good today and don't quarrel, you know? When you arrive at the front hall in a while, remember to salute the guests."

Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Mother, my second brother and I have already told our two younger sisters."

Lian'er looked at the expressions of the two daughters, clearly they were childish.It doesn't matter if only the empress is here today, but if the emperor is also here, if these two girls are rude, it will be a serious crime of beheading.

Thinking of this, Lian'er couldn't help but grimaced, stared at the two daughters and said: "Remember to be obedient today, and the etiquette taught by the nanny must also be in place. If someone breaks into trouble today, the master will let her go The ancestral hall is kneeling!"

"Mother?" Yuan Feiyan pouted, looking at her mother pitifully.

Yuan Feng seemed to understand the meaning of his mother's words, and his mind turned, thinking about the guest who came today, if it is really as he guessed, if the two sisters get into a fight...

How can it be as simple as being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, or being dragged out and hacked, it is possible.

He has also been in the palace for several years, because he is accompanied by His Highness Prince Xuan, so he can often see the emperor.No one can tell the emperor's temperament.Although he was smiling, he might have just turned around, and the person whom he had glanced at just now died directly.

"Mother's words are still light, and it is possible to be pulled out and chopped!" Yuan Feng rarely suppressed the gentle expression on his face, and became extremely strict.

Yuan Jie was taken aback for a moment, and his heart became clear.But more, it was surprise.

Yuan Feimeng and Yuan Feiyan looked at the expressions of their mother, eldest brother and second brother, and subconsciously knew that the guests who came today should be unusual.They looked at each other and nodded obediently.

Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Feng pulled Yuan Feiyan and glanced at Yuan Jie.Yuan Jie is very smart, and he reached out to hold Yuan Feimeng's hand.

When they brought their children to the front hall, Feng Changxi and others were already there.But I haven't seen the so-called guest yet, what Feng Changxi and Yuan Hua are talking about.

Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief, but worried about being late.Taking the children to salute Feng Changxi, Feng Changxi smiled gently and waved his hands: "It's all from my own family, so let's avoid it."

His gaze fell on Yuan Feng, and he noticed the gentle and refined temperament on his body. Although he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at the moment, he was already very eye-catching.

"Yuan Hua, you're right. The child Yuan Feng looks a bit like me." Looking at Yuan Feng, Feng Changxi smiled at the original painting next to him.

Yuan Hua felt warm in his heart. As the eldest son, he had regarded his son as his goal since he was a child, so he was naturally somewhat similar.

"Hehe, this kid is still young, so I don't know what he will be like when he grows up." Thinking that way in his heart, he would still speak modestly.

Yuan Feng smiled shyly, glanced at his father, and bowed respectfully to Feng Changxi: "Yuan Feng has seen the prince!"

Feng Changxi nodded with a smile: "Yesterday, empress, you were accompanied by His Highness Prince Xuan. Are you still used to it in the palace?"

Although the imperial palace is not what it used to be, the whole heirs who are in trouble in the harem are in danger, but the current emperor has only two princes and one princess, and he is very doted on.

If you don't do well in your studies, you will naturally be punished.I met Feng Yinxuan in the palace yesterday, he was a very smart child.

And the child's temperament is very similar to his mother's.Leisurely and elegant, unlike the crown prince Feng Yinjiu, who is flamboyant and unruly, black-bellied and domineering.

The temperament of the two children happened to be that one followed the father and the other followed the mother.But they are all exceptionally smart. Thinking of the missing prince, Feng Changxi's eyes showed a trace of worry.

As soon as this side was talking about this, a doorman ran over from the other side: "My lord, His Highness Prince Xuan and Princess Wushuang are here."

Yuan Hua and the others were taken aback for a moment, and hurried towards the door.Feng Changxi curled her lips slightly, smiled, thinking of the little girl who was worried about her eldest brother's disappearance, got up and prepared to go out to have a look.

"Father!" A delicate child's voice interrupted the tense situation here. Accompanied by this crisp child's voice, a pink figure quickly appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing Wushuang running over from the outside like a bird, Feng Changxi's heart suddenly became worried: "Wushuang, slow down."

He didn't blame a princess for being rude, his eyes were full of doting.
