Chapter 70 Does it feel good to count silver?

Chu Xiaomeng hugged the clothes that came from the little girl, quietly mixed the ones she had hidden among them, and sent them back to Yongqinyuan to be washed. She was still in high spirits, but now she seemed to be suffering.

It was such a huge blow that he was shaken from head to toe. After changing into clean clothes, he planned to go to Prince Yan's courtyard. Before he could leave the gate of Qinyuan, he was stopped by the little girl next to Liu's mother.

Mother Liu can be regarded as the manager of Yongqinyuan, but she has no airs and a good temper. Some powerful girls in Yongqinyuan will inevitably disobey discipline. On this point, Chu Xiaomeng disagrees. Sometimes she should have airs.

There should still be some time, after all, there is no rule without rules. However, Chu Xiaomeng is also self-aware of this matter. She is the person who has the least position to speak out. The most unruly person in Yongqin Academy is herself.

Chu Xiaomeng has always cooked three meals a day with the girls in Yongqinyuan. However, she doesn't like to eat alone and likes to share meals. Chu Xiaomeng has always been the same with Liu's mother.

Those who are respected and deserved are given enough respect, and they are not afraid to follow the truth.

Mother Liu was also very kind to Chu Xiaomeng. Like last night, when she came back late, Mother Liu specially left the door open for her, saving Chu Xiaomeng the trouble of climbing over the wall.

There are a lot of things in Liu's mother's house, but most of them are in the yard. Some of them are placed inside and outside, which makes it seem a bit crowded. In comparison, Chu Xiaomeng's small house is smaller but more spacious.

Xiao Yu is the girl who followed Mama Liu. I heard that this girl entered the family at the age of six and has been following Mama Liu ever since. She is now two years younger than Dan Qing, but she is smart and capable. There is no job like her in this yard.

She doesn't know how to do it. Her appearance is the kind that makes people fall in love with her at a glance. When Chu Xiaomeng saw her for the first time, she felt that this girl was very charming, with a pair of lustrous eyes that seemed to be able to talk and look at people.

Sometimes people can't help but pinch her face.

But this girl is not as harmless as she looks. She looks like a kitten that can scratch people. In short, with her temperament, no one can bully her.

Someone happened to come to see Liu's mother just now, so Chu Xiaomeng asked her to go ahead. She sat bored in the room, looking up and down at the furnishings in the room. It was indeed shabby.

"Sister Xiaomeng, Mother Liu may need to be busy for a while. There are some snacks on the table. Why don't you eat some snacks?" Xiaoyu girl was tapping the abacus neatly in her hands. The clicking sound was very pleasant, which reminded Chu Xiaomeng of her.

A few poems I memorized when I was in high school: Big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

Chu Xiaomeng teased her, "Xiaoyu, is it good to do abacus? Does it feel good to count money?" Anyway, Chu Xiaomeng envied the life of being able to sit on the kang and count money, and dreamed of becoming such a rich woman.

I walked up to see what the girl was doing. I saw her calculating and writing and drawing on the account book with ink at the same time. I saw that she was doing her thing seriously and was still distracted.

As she spoke, Chu Xiaomeng felt even more capable that this girl was capable.

But she saw Xiao Yu's delicate brows furrowed, her face full of unpleasant expressions, she sighed softly, but her eyes never left the work at hand, "What's so good about this? What if?

If I make a wrong calculation, the damage caused is not small. Mother Liu will check it again. If I make a wrong calculation, next month's water chestnut cakes will be gone."

When Chu Xiaomeng saw Xiao Yu looking serious like an old accountant, she felt inexplicably amused, and her desire to tease her became even stronger.

He stepped forward and took a look. It was written in black and white. Although Chu Xiaomeng couldn't understand it, the fonts were neat and beautiful, which really impressed Chu Xiaomeng from the bottom of his heart.

I remember that when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, there was a trend of practicing calligraphy in their class for a while. Chu Xiaomeng also bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone on a whim, laid out the paper, polished the ink, and dipped the brush in ink on the paper.

She practiced swimming carefully according to the strokes in the book, but she gave up within three days. Her back ached and her cervical spine seemed to be broken. She spent three days fishing and two days drying the net.

The calligraphy class really went by like this.

Fortunately, although Chu Xiaomeng's calligraphy skills are not very good, and the handwriting written with a rollerball pen is not very impassioned, her handwriting is round and round, making people feel cute just by looking at it. The words on her hand were pecked by a chicken.

He actually received a lot of praise.

Thinking about it again, this girl was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her handwriting was so majestic and beautiful. She thought it was very beautiful just looking at it.

Suddenly, Chu Xiaomeng didn't pay attention for a moment, and her elbow touched Xiao Yu's hand that was holding a pen to write. The pen was supposed to be a powerful stroke and Chu Xiaomeng knocked it aside. Chu Xiaomeng immediately took the handkerchief and was about to go up.

He wiped and apologized quickly: "Oh! I'm so sorry, what should I do?"

But she was stopped by Xiaoyu, "It's just a mistake, it doesn't have to be like this. Sister Xiaomeng, put the handkerchief away, and don't drop it in the ink. This ink is oil-based ink, and it's worst to wash it off with water."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Let me just say that our little girl, Xiao Yu, is extremely intelligent. Look at the way she holds the pen and the way she talks. Not to mention she looks a bit like a bookkeeper. No one will come to snatch her now.

I have to tell you first, if your little cute sister can get into trouble with me in the future, you will come to be my accountant!" Chu Xiaomeng thought about how it would be for such a treasure if she didn't win over him in advance.

What a pity.

It is indeed difficult for her to settle accounts, and it is a headache to ask her to keep such a cost ledger. But if she really opens a store in the future, the accountant will definitely ask for it, but Chu Xiaomeng's half-joking words also contain it.

Some truth is there.

Little Yu's face turned red when Chu Xiaomeng praised her. She smiled and said, "It's not as good as Sister Xiaomeng said. She just learned it from Mother Liu. She's just scratched the surface after seeing too much. Let's settle these accounts today."

It’s also to help Mother Liu.”

"If you don't say anything else, just talk about your handwriting. Tsk tsk tsk... If this was placed in the capital, it would definitely be ranked in a row. It's a pity that I don't have any ink in my belly and can't say anything.

Come with the poem, otherwise, I will recite a poem for you." Chu Xiaomeng then said irresponsibly.

But Xiaoyu girl shook her head, stopped moving her hands, looked at Chu Xiaomeng and said: "If you want to say that the person who can write the best in the capital, it is the eldest lady of the Chu family. Her handwriting can be called the best."

Her strokes are full of flowers, flowing like clouds, and her strokes are like clouds of smoke. I was attracted to her when I only saw one of her paintings, and I was even more impressed when I saw her write the inscription. She should be the one who deserves the title of the most talented woman in the capital."

When Chu Xiaomeng came here, she hadn't heard much about these rumors. She didn't even know for a moment who the eldest lady of the Chu family that little Yu was talking about could make little girl praise her so much. She asked weakly, but

Xiao Yu asked back with a look of disbelief: "Sister Xiaomeng, when you were on duty in the Chu Mansion, was it possible that you couldn't see the face of the eldest lady of the Chu family?"

Chu Xiaomeng was speechless for a moment, wondering how she, the fake eldest lady of the Chu family, was going to explain why she had never seen the eldest lady of the Chu family.

"Ah...I've seen it before. I just couldn't remember who you were talking about. After all, Chu Qianqian is not the only one named Chu in the world. Look, I

Chu Xiaomeng's surname is Chu, right?" Chu Xiaomeng mumbled over with a smile. Fortunately, Xiao Yu didn't ask her any more about her affairs in the Chu family, but she seemed to be very interested in the eldest lady of the Chu family.

, which made Chu Xiaomeng feel guilty. She was deeply afraid that the girl would blurt out the question "How is the eldest lady of the Chu family" in the next second... If she really asked, Chu Xiaomeng might not be able to be polite.

"Oh! By the way! Girl Xiaoyu, you said you entered the palace at the age of six, then where did you see Chu Qianqian's paintings?" Chu Xiaomeng asked.

Girl Xiao Yu answered readily: "Of course it was in Prince Yan's Mansion! You should know about the marriage between our prince and the eldest lady of the Chu family, right? Although it may not be possible now, but a few years ago

When Wang Lao Qiansui was still alive, the Chu family and Prince Yan's Mansion had exchanges every year. The paintings of the eldest daughter of the Chu family were also brought over at that time and hung in the prince's bedroom. That time I had the opportunity to go there to pick up the things.

I happened to see it when I was there, and it was unforgettable at first glance. No wonder Prince Yan hangs it in the bedroom."

Chu Xiaomeng was confused by these words. It meant that Chu Qianqian's paintings were in Prince Yan's Mansion, and they were still hanging in Prince Yan's bedroom. If you think about it this way, Prince Yan might not have any feelings for Chu Qianqian?

However, they were already married, and Chu Qianqian was such a girl who was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Little Yu said it so well, but she didn’t know how good that painting was. Just Prince Yan.

It must be really good for a person with a temperament who doesn't like anything he looks at and who cares so much about the furnishings in his house to have that painting hanging in his bedroom.

Chu Xiaomeng didn't know what was wrong with her. When she heard that Prince Yan had collected a painting by Chu Qianqian for several years, she felt a trace of unspeakable sourness in her heart. What the hell? Could it be that she wasn't asleep yet?

Wake up, are you still in the dream last night?

Chu Xiaomeng shook her head and suppressed the inexplicable strangeness in her heart. She continued to smile and asked: "It sounds like the eldest lady of the Chu family has left a good impression on you. Have you met her?"

After asking Chu Xiaomeng, she wanted to give herself a shudder. Are you stupid? She is just a ray of lonely soul that traveled through Chu Qianqian's body. If little girl Xiaoyu had seen Chu Qianqian, would she not be able to recognize her?

Just when Chu Xiaomeng thought that this girl was about to shake her head, she saw her nod her head and said with a smile: "I have seen her before. Although she was wearing a veil at the time, I will never forget her kindness. She

He is a very good person." At that time, she was helpless and her small body was wandering among the crowd. However, no one paid attention to such a person, but Chu Qianqian offered her help. (To be completed.
