Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

The servant replied: "The little one didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he saw the badge hanging on his waist, it is definitely the wooden badge of the Song Mansion."

Lu Zhiqing looked at Song Hanzhi: "Just relying on the one-sided words of my servants can't prove anything, why don't you check the things in your house first to see if there is anything missing."

"I've been staying in the Imperial College recently, and I hardly come back. Although there are not many servants in the mansion, they don't know all of them. As for the things in the mansion, there is a booklet in the storeroom, which is usually used..."

He looked at the butler next to him.

The housekeeper quickly said: "The purchase records in the mansion can also be checked. What is used now and what is worn out every day is also clear. It's just that it is very troublesome and takes a lot of time to check."

"Qing'er, you know, the intermediary in the backyard is not much worse than the case. I'm really not good at this as a man." Song Hanzhi looked distressed.

"Aren't you very smart? So there are things you're not good at." Lu Zhiqing said, "Okay, I'll check this matter for you. Just read your book carefully!"

"Second Miss Lu, although there are not many servants in the house, there are more than [-] servants." The housekeeper said, "It will not take a day or two to find out. Isn't this too much trouble?"

"If you don't find out, there are such moths in your house, and sooner or later your family business will be emptied. The most terrifying thing is that this matter should not be a day or two, and there must be more than one person who knows about such a big matter. , but none of you know about it, so it can be seen that the problem in the back residence of the Song Mansion is very troublesome. In my opinion, this matter must not only be investigated, but also thoroughly investigated, otherwise these slaves who eat inside and outside will become even more arrogant."

In this way, Lu Zhiqing took over the troubles of the Song family.

Originally thought that the problem could be solved in three to five days, but after the investigation, she found many problems.For example, the Song Mansion did not have many servants, but because the hostess had not been in the mansion for a long time and no one took care of the back house, the housekeeper planted the open space behind as an orchard for the convenience of taking care of it.Since it is an orchard, of course it needs craftsmen to take care of this orchard, and these people are not born in the family, nor are they permanent workers, but short-term workers.

In addition, in addition to the mansion, the Song Mansion also has fifteen farms and fruit shops, and 23 shops.

"Song Hanzhi, is your family so rich?" Lu Zhiqing flipped through the account book, "I remember your mother is good at business, but there are not so many Zhuangzi shops, right?"

"Well, five Zhuangzi and three shops are my mother's dowry."

"What about the rest?"

"The rest..." Song Hanzhi picked up a pen to write, and said casually, "I bought it over the years."

Lu Zhiqing looked at Song Hanzhi in surprise: "So many?"

"There are more in the capital, and less in other places. After all, it is too far away to take care of it." Song Hanzhi said, "But I can only buy blindly, and I don't know how to manage it, so I don't know how the business is."

The butler next to him: "..."

It's really hard for their son.

In order to marry a daughter-in-law, he made himself look like a waste.

Song Hanzhi's face was full of distress, and he looked like a helpless and weak nobleman.However, this action just made Lu Zhiqing feel like a hero, and the account book that was originally thought to be cumbersome was no longer cumbersome.

Lu Mansion, in the pavilion.

Lu Zhiqing flipped through the account book in her hand, and muttered: "The Song family's expenses are not small!"

Sima Jiying was sitting opposite, holding a book in his hand, and said with a smile: "You always hate these trivial things, but for Mr. Song, you don't find it troublesome at all."

"me?"

"I remember when your sister-in-law was looking at the account book, you casually flipped through a few pages, and suddenly became impatient. So far, as long as it is about money, you have been very impatient."

"I really don't like ledgers, but it's not up to me to have people in the Lu family manage those things. Of course, there's no need to wrong myself."

"What about the Song family? What is your relationship with him? Why can you manage the affairs of the Song family?"

"We are friends." Lu Zhiqing felt that the account book in her hand became hot.

"Squeezing and twisting is not like your style."

"What about you?" Lu Zhiqing was not convinced, and retorted, "Isn't the reason why you left the family because your sweetheart married your own brother? If you dare to love and hate, you won't..."

When Lu Zhiqing said this, he noticed the sadness in Sima Jiying's eyes, and immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"I'm sorry, I really don't deserve a slap. If my mother was here, she would have already slapped me. Brother Sima, don't take it to heart."

Sima Jiying shook his head: "I understand that you didn't mean it, and it's also true. You're right, so there's no need to apologize."

"No, you're willing to tell me what's on your mind, you just treat me as a friend, but I hurt your heart with this matter, which shouldn't be. You're right, I'm just angry with Song Hanzhi and left without saying goodbye, that's why I'm so awkward. I told myself to ignore him and show him some color, but seeing him being deceived by the servants, I couldn't help but stand up for him. I'm such an awkward person, you were right just now."

"Okay, it's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it." Sima Jiying said, "But you, a little bamboo horse, are full of hostility to me. Could it be that you misunderstood that I have plans for you?"

"Probably not." Lu Zhiqing said, "He is not such a stingy person."

Sima Jiying shook his head.

This little girl is still too young to understand a man's mind.

Song Hanzhi's gentleness is only shown in front of her, and he is not a good talker in other places.Furthermore, a man is very important to the girl he likes, how can he tolerate others around her?

"Help him deal with the Song Mansion, what are your plans?"

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it later!"

Sima Jiying said: "Yes, this matter cannot be found out in a day or two."

"Brother Sima, you don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but..." I believe in that kid's 'caution' even more.

But two awkward boys and girls, obviously admiring each other, are so awkward, this is also their little fun!In fact, everyone of them understands it, but they don't point it out, they just want to let nature take its course.

Sima Jiying thought of her former sweetheart.

He and she also grew up as childhood sweethearts, but it's a pity that the family is not optimistic about him and her, but his elder brother and her.Now she is married as a woman, and he...

I just want to get away from that depressing place and find something else to do.

Sima Jiying remembered what he asked her before he left. He asked her if she wanted to leave with him and go away.He guarantees that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, because he never fights a battle that he is not sure of.

However, she refused.

She wanted to stay to complete the marriage contract and complete the marriage of the two families.

But also, his brother is better than him.

His elder brother, both civil and military, is the hope of the family and the next patriarch of the family.No matter how you think about it, it is the most sensible choice for their family to choose his brother as their marriage partner.

"Second Miss Lu." The butler of the Song Mansion came over.

"Uncle Tang, what's wrong?" Lu Zhiqing asked.

"It's like this." The housekeeper of the Song Mansion said distressedly, "Young Master found that something very important is missing, and I want to ask Miss to help you find it."

"Could it be taken out by the servants and sold?"

"I don't know about this." Tang Butler said, "Miss knows our young master best, and you know his usual habits, why don't you help us find out?"

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Lu Zhiqing picked up the ledger and stood up, and said to Sima Jiying, "Brother Sima, don't stay outside all the time, the wind is quite strong, be careful if you catch a cold. Then I'll go and see it first." look."

"it is good."

Lu Zhiqing followed Steward Tang into Song Hanzhi's courtyard.

"What's missing from you?"

"The jade pendant my mother gave me."

"Is it very valuable?"

"Very valuable."

Lu Zhiqing said: "I've known you for so many years, I haven't seen anything, and I haven't seen any precious jade pendants that you are rare."

"That jade pendant is different." Song Hanzhi said, "I put it in this box before, but this time it's gone."

Lu Zhiqing picked up the box he mentioned and looked at it: "There is no mechanism here either!"

"I remembered." Song Hanzhi said, "I was leaving the capital a few years ago, and I buried something with you under that tree, remember? I should have put that jade pendant inside."

Lu Zhiqing followed Song Hanzhi to the tree.

She remembered that Song Hanzhi did bury a box in it, but she didn't know what was in the box, and only said that she would open it next time she returned to the capital.Later, when she returned to the capital, she was only concerned with getting into trouble with him, but she didn't think about it at all.

Now that I came back to this tree again, thinking of the feelings of a girl in the past, my cheeks suddenly felt a little hot, as if something was different.

"Dig?" Lu Zhiqing asked.

"Dig." Song Hanzhi took a shovel and shoveled the soil. "When you buried it, you were curious about what was inside. I stopped you from seeing it. Now is the time to reveal the mystery."

This is Song Hanzhi's courtyard. The original servants have been dismissed by him long ago, and there are only two of them in the entire courtyard.

In the time of a cup of tea, the box was dug out.

Song Hanzhi carried the box out regardless of the dirt.

The box was well-sealed, and it was obvious that he had considered it carefully, and it was not bitten by insects and ants at all.

Not only the gaps of the box were sealed with wax, but also the outside was smeared with antiseptic concoction, so that when the cloth strip on the outside was opened, the inside was still the same as when it was buried.

"How about you open it?" Song Hanzhi looked at Lu Zhiqing expectantly.

"Isn't this your thing? Why do you want me to open it?"

"Aren't you curious?"

"Hmm..." She was quite curious.

Lu Zhiqing opened the box.

I saw that there were some small things in it.

Daggers, books, wooden mechanism birds, sachets, jade ornaments...

"These things..." Lu Zhiqing took them out, "Why do they look familiar?"

"You gave me all these things." Song Hanzhi said, "From the first one to the last one before we parted, everything is here. Of course, except for the food."

"What are you doing here? These are small things, not worth much." Lu Zhiqing picked up a rattle.

She also sent such childish things, why is she completely unimpressed?

"For me, everything Qing'er sent is very important." Song Hanzhi said, "These are treasures that I want to treasure for a lifetime."

"Why are you suddenly..." Lu Zhiqing couldn't stand his burning eyes, and said uncomfortably, "Aren't you looking for a jade pendant? I didn't see a jade pendant here."

Song Hanzhi took out a sachet from the corner, opened the sachet and took out the jade pendant inside: "Here."

"Just find it. Then..."

"Qing'er, this is the family heirloom jade pendant of our Song Mansion, and it is to be given to the mistress of the Song Mansion." Song Hanzhi said, "Can you keep it for me first?"

Lu Zhiqing looked at him: "Why should I keep it for you?"

"I wanted to write letters to my parents when I was in high school, asking them to come back to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage, and begging the prince and princess to marry you to me. Originally, I was supposed to come with my parents and a matchmaker, but the scientific examination is still half a year away. Besides, the concubine has not returned home for a long time, and you are angry with me again, I really can't wait for that moment. I will leave the jade pendant to you for safekeeping, and wait for the good news from my high school, how about formally proposing marriage?"

"What if you don't have high school? No, if I don't want to marry you, I won't agree to it, no matter if you are in high school or not. Why do you think that I, Lu Zhiqing, are only for you? Or do you think that a tigress like me is doomed?" Can't get married, only you, Song Hanzhi, reluctantly accept me?"

"You clearly know that's not what I mean." Song Hanzhi said, "I don't want you to be angry with me again. I want to tell you clearly what I mean, and I want to tell you my idea of ​​leaving without saying goodbye."

"I said Lu Er, you don't want to marry him, do you want to go with me?" On the roof, Ji Songcheng said with a playful smile.

Song Hanzhi: "..."

Lu Zhiqing was a little shy at first, but when Ji Songcheng said this, all the atmosphere disappeared.She stared at Ji Songcheng fiercely, and said, "Why do you always follow him?"

Ji Songcheng raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with me being alone with him? I don't have the habit of cutting off my sleeves and dividing my peaches. It turns out that you've been jealous of him recently because you're jealous of me!"

"fart!"

"Rude woman." Ji Songcheng said, "Only Song Hanzhi can stand you. Don't harm others. You ignored him during this time, and he lost a lot of weight. Could it be that you really fell in love with her?" What about Sima Jiying? I see that the two of you get along more like a brother and a younger sister, and it doesn't seem like a relationship between a man and a woman! Could it be that I'm wrong?"

"You still came to our Lu Mansion to peep?" Lu Zhiqing was shocked, "Are all the secret guards in our Lu Mansion just for nothing?"

"Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the secret guards of your Lu Mansion, but they are too familiar with me, so they didn't chase me away." Ji Songcheng said again, "Don't change the subject, Song Hanzhi asked you something, are you married or not?"

"Brother Sima is my brother's friend. I just feel that I hit it off with him, and he lives in my house, so I usually talk to him when I have nothing to do." No need to find someone to chat with.

Song Hanzhi looked at Lu Zhiqing happily: "So you haven't changed your mind?"

"People in our Lu family aren't that careless." Lu Zhiqing said, "Besides, don't act like you're being bullied by me. Didn't you consider that I won't forgive you when you abandoned me?"

"At that time..."

"I know." Lu Zhiqing interrupted him, "I know what you think, but I still can't get angry, so I want to vent my anger. Forget it, I forgive you for keeping my things so well. "

"You only forgive him, so will you marry or not?" Ji Songcheng couldn't bear the ink marks of these two people, so he asked again. "I finally came here, you must let me have a wedding wine before leaving?"

"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. Ask me what to do?" Lu Zhiqing said, "Don't you want to propose marriage after high school? Wait until you are in high school. As for whether my parents agree, you can directly ask my parents."
