Chapter 166 Jinsinan, Huang Xinnan
Liu Yuan was originally a person who was good at dancing, but she deliberately hid her wings over the years and when she arrived at the real occasion, she was actively socializing, which made many people who despise her secretly say that she was surprised. Unexpectedly, this uncle-in-law, who was born in a business, was more generous than her husband.
Tang Hongying's arrogance has cultivated her thorns all over her body. When dealing with other officials' wives outside, she always feels arrogant. Her arrogant attitude is really displeasing.
On the other hand, this uncle's wife is decent and speaks softly today, which makes people feel like spring breeze.
What's more, this person was raised by His Majesty himself, and no one dared to be disrespectful to Liu. Although there were a few wives who looked down on the merchants in their bones and said something bad, Liu pretended not to hear it, and his grand look increased a lot.
Those wives who wanted to find fault in secret were helpless. Liu pretended to wipe the corners of his mouth with a veil in his hand. Just this ability to point out and scold the poor is like playing house for her. If she hadn't been wearing this dress of a lady's decree, she would have tear several of them.
When Qin Zuohuai arrived, he saw Liu standing among a group of noble girls from high schools chatting and laughing freely, without showing any timidity. She was gorgeous today, and she was extremely beautiful. I don’t know how much better than Tang Hongying.
In the past, when Tang Hongying accompanied him to the banquet, she would always leave with her other wives in an upset way, so the two of them could only leave early in a hurry.
This was the first time that he could stay until the end. Qin Zuohuai couldn't help but sigh. How great would it be if the Liu family came from a famous family? He walked over with great strides and suddenly noticed that someone was standing there not far behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Prince Rui.
This Prince Rui was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The mansion was rich, but he did not get involved in the princes' affairs, which was quite trusted by Emperor Yuan. Qin Zuo turned his eyes and walked over to salute: "I have seen Prince Rui, but I don't know when the prince arrived?"
"I came here uninvited. It's about to part with you. Come in and join in and join in and join in and have fun." Prince Rui felt guilty. He came in and joined in and joined in and joined in and played for you at a glance. However, he saw Liu at first glance. Compared to meeting at the princess's mansion, Liu is more beautiful today.
This woman has different beauty at different ages. The younger ones should be the buds that just bloomed in the morning mist, fresh and tender.
Women in their thirties should be blooming peony or peony, which is gorgeous.
Liu Yuan is a typical example of this beautiful peony. Her behavior has a natural gentleness. However, judging from the confrontation with all the wives just now, she is also a clawed person, but she just hides beautifully.
Prince Rui was a little distracted for a moment, and he stared at another woman for a long time, but was caught by the official.
He unfolded the fan in his hand and used the fan to blew away the heat from his face.
"The prince is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is busy with his affairs and has free time today. I wonder if he is lucky to invite the prince to the mansion to have a drink?"
King Rui's heart moved. Is someone handing the pillow if he wants to doze off? Although he is moved, his mind is still there. No matter what happens, Liu is still the man of Taifu Qin. Unfortunately, he met too late. He coughed lightly and said, "I have an appointment with others today. Why don't we make an appointment next time?"
Qin Zuohuai was about to move, but he felt that it was not affected by rejection. He watched King Rui leave. When Liu Yuan was waiting for Liu Yuan to leave, the two of them were about to leave. Liu Yuan glanced at a familiar back and didn't take it seriously.
On the way back, Qin Zuohuai was in a good mood. Liu Yuanfang knew that he was satisfied with his performance today, so he offered a piece of pastry: "I only care about socializing today, and I guess I am not full, so I will use one piece first."
Qin Zuohuai hugged her waist tightly and whispered, "Yuan'er, I'm sorry for you for my husband over the years."
Husband? What kind of husband is? Since ancient times, only the main wife has been married to her husband. She is just a concubine and cannot afford to be raised!
Liu Yuan sighed lowly: "I know what the lord is good to me, so I don't know what to do."
"If you have something to say," Qin Zuohuai felt aroused in his heart: "Is it a matter of the mansion?"
Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment before taking out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago. It was a copy of the accounts on the mansion. However, the part I extracted was problematic: "I got the account book and studied it all night and found many problems from it."
"This account was originally managed by the wife. Although I had doubts, I didn't know how to deal with it, so I could only disturb the adults." Liu Yuan pointed his finger at one of them: "In June of the previous year, he collected a thousand taels of silver with a record of the purchase of furniture."
"I remember this account in detail. I also remember that in June of that year, a batch of new furniture was indeed installed in the mansion, but that batch of furniture was not worth the money. It was only two or three hundred taels, but there were six or seven hundred taels in between."
Qin Zuohuai remembered this, and he frowned: "How do you say this?"
"The furniture in this account is made of golden nanmu, but the furniture in the house is yellow nanmu. If it were either deceived by someone during the comprador, or if someone used inferior products as good people, they earned six or seven hundred taels of silver."
"The golden silk comes out of the stream, and the wood grain has golden silk. The most beautiful nanmu may be formed into the mountains and rivers of people. The wood is hard and resistant to corrosion, and water cannot soak, and ants cannot hole. If it is really golden silk nanmu, a thousand taels of silver is worth it."
"But that's Huang Xinnan, it's not worth the silver coins," Liu Yuan said again without waiting for Qin Zuohuai to speak: "It's more than this time. Sir, look, these are all problematic accounts that I randomly pick up."
She handed over the copied copy, lowered her head, as if she was unable to say: "There are more than twenty pens that I have just sifted out. If I checked deeply, I don't know how many more. I'm really... scared."
Liu Yuan found out that there was more than just these problems. She just thought that she could not apply the medicine too hard at the beginning and had to leave some room to play. She looked at Qin Zuohuai's face and closed her mouth tactfully, and stopped talking again.
The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to be stagnant. How could Qin Zuohuai not know what this means?
Either Tang Hongying is not strict in supervision and the people below do their own thing, or she is also involved. Whether it is the former or the latter, Tang Hongying cannot escape it!
It wasn't that Liu Yuan was so scared. She had long been afraid of Tang Hongying, the mistress of the family, and she asked him to make the decision.
Liu Yuan knew that her plan could not be hidden from Qin Zuohuai. This person who could survive in the officialdom until now was a person with a good sense of knowledge, but although she did not understand the affairs of the court, she knew about men and women. Men were engaged in power just for the sake of face.
The great power can give him great face, but this face cannot be refuted, so she sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Do you think this matter is going to be left unresolved?" Qin Zuohuai's fingers bounced on his leg a few times, and looked at her unhappily: "I think I can't support you anymore?"
