Lucky not to forget

Chapter 82

Don't hope to ask Weiyun to take the abacus, and regardless of the anxious Pei Zhen next to him, he flips through the booklet and calculates. The ebony abacus beads make the flying fingers whiter and almost transparent. Zhen didn't speak, just smiled warmly, looked at her with her chin resting, she frowned slightly, her profile was delicate and beautiful, the sun shone in from the skylight, and hit her temples, covering this young face There was a faint light, and when he looked closely, his cheeks looked like a child's, with soft and fine down. He couldn't help reaching out to caress and touch his own face. His hands felt something different, her face was as tender as tofu. Yes, as if it would be pierced with a little force, his fingertips lingered, unable to stop.
Wu Wang bit his lower lip in dissatisfaction, his eyes were still fixed on the account book, he waved his hand twice, and said angrily, "Landu, don't make trouble."
Pei Zhen fell in love with her appearance, and found it extremely pleasing to the eye.In fact, he came very early, and has been standing on the porch listening to her teaching the servants. He was worried that she would not be able to deal with those women who are smarter than monkeys. He was worried that she would suffer, so he sweated for her, and was always ready to rush in. Save the beauty, who knows that she has the style of a general, and she is not arrogant or impatient to fight with Mrs. Xu, which is beyond his expectation. The seemingly weak person has such calm and sophisticated methods. He completely underestimates her Smart, meticulous, and a little cunning, these means are enough for her to protect herself in the days when he is away, and she is indeed a reassuring person.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon, Pei Zhen said, "Let's take a break, I'm really sorry that I've made you tired just now."
She hummed, and counted two more pages before putting down her pen.
Pei Zhen got up and kneaded her neck for her. She closed her eyes and hummed in enjoyment, and murmured, "There are a lot of false accounts, and a girl actually spent 35 taels. If it was later, it would be a deficit in two days. Seeing that it’s going to be a new year, we need to make preparations, fortunately, there are gold and silver offerings in the library, so there is no need to buy them separately, otherwise it will be a huge expense.”
Pei Zhen said, "It's not enough to be short. When the mansion was opened, only [-] taels of silver were deposited in the treasury, and the rest was put on the bank's cabinet. If it's not enough, just send someone to pay for it."
Wu Wang looked through the accounts of the warehouse again, spread them out in front of him, pointed to the small letters and said, "It's only half a year, and there are three thousand three hundred and seventy one taels or four money left, which is worth the expenditure of the Xie family for a year! Here And there is no one to deal with, the servant's monthly silver is a big head, 370 taels for seven months, bought nine servants and 800 second-class maids in half a year, with 33 taels of silver, and the rest is just plain food The cost of wearing..." She crackled the beads of her abacus, and gestured to him with a disheveled expression, "Hands are too loose, and it cost 450 coins. It's strange that the real estate After buying it, half of it was named Zhang."
Pei Zhen poked his head over to look, gritted his teeth with a cold face, "It's very good, even a whole day of sea cucumber and fish maw wouldn't cost so much, Zhang Guang and Zhang Xiao made me a good home!"
At this time, there was a woman coming from outside, and said through the door curtain, "The slave is in the kitchen, ask the girl, will the uncle's meals be delivered here, or to the study?"
Wuwang remembered that Pei Zhen had the habit of eating alone, so he turned to look at him asking, Pei Zhen was a little annoyed, stepped to the door in two or three steps, lifted the curtain and said, "Don't wink, you girls are here and tell me to eat alone? Naturally send it here!"
The old lady Qiqi Ai said again, "Let me ask on the stove, what is the best topping for today's dishes, diced meat or eggs?"
When Pei Zhen heard that her heart was bleeding with hatred, she said gloomily, "What do you guys do for food? You also go back and forth about this kind of thing? Go, tell Ge Er's family to pack up and get out!"
There was a gust of wind on that face of Hades, which frightened the woman, and said straight away, she shrank her neck and ran out of the yard numbly.
Wu Wang smiled and said, "This is a fight with me, big and small things are going back and forth, can you see that?"
Pei Zhen frowned thickly, unbuttoned the collar on his neck, sighed quickly, and snorted, "I'm not afraid! I'll use one to do it today, relying on the fact that the old man gave me some stupid, nonsense things, see I will tear her apart!"
Danyue poured hot tea for him, and persuaded him, "Don't be so angry, none of these nurses in charge are full of money, and they all benefited from Mother Xu. They are all prosperous, and all are damaged. Now it's a girl who is in charge of the house." Seeing that the good times are coming to an end, I don't want to use them, and there are some ways to make it difficult for the girl."
Don't look at him having a fit again, and hurriedly said to Danyue, "What do you say to him, you're not angry for nothing." Pulled him to sit down, and said slowly, "I'll take care of it naturally later, you just mind the outside things …It doesn’t matter what the other side is, just pay attention to your own body.”
Pei Zhen laughed dumbfounded, and said, "That must be true, this body is not only my own now, but also take care of it just for you."
Wuwang's face turned red to the point of bleeding, he gave him a resentful look, and then peeked at Danyue next to him, fortunately she held her breath and looked calm, otherwise wouldn't she dig a hole to get in.Then he twitched, "No nonsense!"
The small voice, thin, waxy, Pei Zhenru's feeling of being half-drunk and half-drunk after drinking alcohol, moved closer to her and said, "I actually got a good wife, I don't know if it was a blessing in some lifetime. "
The pale crescent moon is sour, the old man Xindao is very wicked, he is not usually a boring person, but now he meets someone who is calm, his mouth full of sweet words really makes people tremble!Thinking about it, I shivered again. Why is Grandma Hesu just like an enemy? Does one thing drop one thing?
Pei Zhen turned the tiger bone in his hand and pointed, "Don't take a nap after lunch, I'll ask someone to buy some clothes for you, and everything will be delivered to the house, you just pick what you like and keep it. "
Wuwang nodded, cleaned his hands in the basin, took a dry handkerchief and wiped the side, and said, "Beiping is so cold, thanks to the earth dragon buried in the house, wouldn't it freeze to death if we go out!"
Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It's about the same as the sky in Duoyi, but it's colder in the north."
The same is true of Wu Wang secretly. In the past, he was still digging sweet potatoes in the field with tears and snot in Duoyi.Thinking of De Pei again, he said, "Have you sent someone to pick up Brother Pei? The Chinese New Year will be in seventeen or eight days."
Pei Zhen said, "I passed the book to him, counting the distance, it will be there in half a month."
Wu Wang raised his head and said, "Is he coming back by himself? How far is Wuwei Mountain? There is no danger on the road?"
Pei Zhen picked up a strand of long hair hanging from her temples and sniffed it at the tip of her nose, then said, "Don't worry, he has been in the army for a year, and he hasn't seen anything in the mud, if I send someone to take care of it I'm afraid he won't be happy!" Then he sneered, "Why are you so protective of the calf? Even if you are like this to your younger brother, how will you pay for it if you have a child in the future? You will be spoiled forever!"
Wu Wang felt ashamed, pouted his mouth angrily, and twisted the white jade-like back of his hand.It's nothing more than taking advantage in private, and outsiders are still talking about it, what kind of child is not a child, what does it sound like!
Pei Zhen narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes, bit her bright red lips with her snow-white teeth, and stroked the pinched red flesh while sucking in air, her posture was both charming and provocative.Don't expect to be suffocated, Danyue has already been stupid, with her mouth open and her heart beating like thunder, she just wants to cry - why is she on duty today?Let a thunder strike her awake!How did the uncle become like this?I usually pull my face deliberately when I know I look good, but now this good habit seems to have been abandoned, what am I still doing here?Waiting for nosebleeds to gushe?So Danyue sneaked out while covering her hot face, the uncle must be dissatisfied with desires, standing there by herself is useless to provoke people's dislike, they can do whatever they like, don't care!
Wu Wang had no choice but to turn his back to him, swallowing dryly.The lethality was too great, she really wanted to reprimand him for acting like this, but she hesitated for a long time before she could say anything.Does he have any self-knowledge?What does it mean to grow up like this and still be seductive!
At this time, Weiyun reported back through the drawer under the moon hole window, "Girl, are you going to prepare dinner now? It's already the second quarter of noon."
Wu Wang said, "Call them in."
The little girl drew up the scarlet felt curtain outside, and a row of servants carried food boxes across the threshold, all of them keeping their eyes straight and cautious.Wuwang tidied up the account books and put them in a paperweight. Pei Zhen held up the book and collapsed on the white jade couch, and suddenly said, "Is Ge Er's family out of the house?"
The servants shivered, bowed and said, "Now I'm begging Mama Xu, I want to ask Mama Xu to beg for a girl!"
Don't look to snort, it's not an exaggeration to send it out, she doesn't know what temple to worship and what Buddha, she and Mrs. Xu are not at odds, and she asked Mrs. Xu to ask, don't say Mrs. Xu will never come now, even if she does come. It's boring, not to mention sneaking out to kill chickens and monkeys, how can this group of people be obedient!So he leaned on the kang under the south window, put a lock brocade back on his back, took a small copper fire chopstick to shake the ashes in the hand stove, and didn't speak. Standing against the wall like hawthorns on the table, while waiting for a cup of tea, Wu Wang moved his body and said slowly, "Which one of you has been here the longest?"
Everyone was silent, only a 50-year-old woman wearing azurite bijia came out, bent her knees, and said blessings to Wuwang, "Returning to the girl, the servant came to Beiping from the North to serve, and entered The government has been there for 18 years."
Don't look at her good-natured face, and wanted to go to Pei's mansion all by herself when she was in Beidi, but she wasn't sure, so she asked, "Have I met Nanny before? It seems to be very familiar."
The old lady smiled and praised, "Young lady has such a good memory, she still remembers me after only meeting her once! It was raining heavily, and the maidservant served me when she came to the mansion to leave a meal for the master."
Wu Wang made a sound, and suddenly remembered that there is such a person, who looks like a man with quick hands and feet, and he is also responsible. He is an old acquaintance, because he said, "What's your last name?"
The woman said respectfully, "My slave's husband's family name is Lin."
Wu Wang nodded and said, "Mama Lin, does Mama Lin know why Ge Er's family was kicked out of the house?"

Mrs. Lin said, "I know a little bit."
Don Wang put down the hand stove and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the kitchen. Take good care of it for me. If you manage it well, I will naturally give you a monthly allowance. If you don't manage it well, you will be punished for one month." Silver rice, can you take it?"
That Mrs. Lin had never had the opportunity to support her, but she was secretly happy when she met her this time, and made a wish to do well, so she said repeatedly, "The girl is wise, and the slave should do his best."
Gu Wang said yes, and said, "Go and talk to Ge Er's family, it's no use begging anyone, tell her to accept this heart as soon as possible, and go out of the house as soon as possible."
Mrs. Lin Nuonuo said yes, but she saw that the development was almost done. In a blink of an eye, she saw Pei Zhen's lukewarm look on her face, fearing that he would be hungry, so she waved her hand and ordered them to retreat to the ear room next to the main room. The little girl was on the eight-legged stool There was a shimmering satin mattress, and she lifted the corner of her skirt and moved it over before she sat down. The helper outside opened the door curtain to report, "The king of Gaoyang County is visiting, and he is waiting in the front flower hall. Master, hurry up and meet him."
