31. Chapter thirty-one(2/2)

"Is there anything wrong with Yuan Jin?" asked Old Mrs. Xue.

Yuan Jin stood up and said, "Grandmother, can the granddaughter speak with one step?"

Old Mrs. Xue was silent for a moment and then took Yuan Jin into the room.

The room was furnished with sandalwood screens, carved flowers of all seasons, and the eight immortals celebrated their birthdays. The kang bed was covered with silk mats with ten thousand words. Mrs. Xue was helped onto the kang bed by Mama Xu, and signaled her granddaughter to sit on the embroidery pedestal opposite her, and asked, "What's the important thing about you?"

Yuan Jin took a step forward and leaned forward and said, "I just heard from my grandmother that you want every room to be calm. My granddaughter admires me very much. My granddaughter brought Wen Yu over today, just to ask you something, can I choose a person in the fourth room?"

Old Mrs. Xue frowned when she heard this.

In fact, for her, she did not pay attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate in these four families. Although Xue Qingshan was born in a illegitimate family, his aunt died early, and actually grew up with her. Xue Qingshan was grateful for her kindness for raising her, and was always very kind to her, even more filial than her own son. It’s just that Xue Qingshan’s own official position was too low and could not match the three brothers in the legitimate family, and he was inevitably becoming increasingly unsuccessful.

Xue Yuanjin said that he wanted to create someone, could he think of her younger brother Xue Jinyu?

I thought this little granddaughter was quite smart before, but now it seems that she was blinded by the glory and wealth of the Duke Ding Mansion. Even if Xue Jinyu took her there, she would only make a joke.

Old Mrs. Xue's tone was inevitably a little cold: "It's not that my grandmother is partial to Jinyu's choice. But Jinyu has grown up so old, and she has no talent, and her temperament has taught you that her mother has spoiled her. Even if she took her to the Duke Dingguo Mansion, she wouldn't be selected. You'd better go back."

Yuan Jin smiled again and said lightly: "Grandmother, the fourth room does not want to take Jinyu there, but wants you to take Wenyu to try it."

Old Mrs. Xue was inevitably a little surprised when she heard this, but she quickly covered up her past. She looked at Xue Wenyu standing next to Yuan Jin and frowned: "Are you kidding me? Your brother..."

Xue Wenyu is a foolish son from the fourth house, and everyone knows this. It is said that he can't even shout it.

"Grandma, Wen Yu is actually not a fool who is rumored by the outside world. You will understand after reading it." Yuan Jin touched Xue Wenyu's head and said to Madam Xu, "Is there an unused account book in the mansion? Can you bother Madam to get one for me?"

Old Mrs. Xue stopped Madam Xu. She wanted to see what Xue Yuanjin wanted to do. So she took out a tent from the drawer and handed it over, "Let's use this."

Yuan Jin took it over and saw that this was the account book that was only released at home, so he said, "Thank you grandma." He turned to a page and handed it to Xue Wenyu.

Xue Wenyu lowered her eyes and looked at it for a moment, then nodded slightly to Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin returned the account book to Old Lady Xue and said, "Grandma, you can take a test of him casually, just ask him what line he wrote."

Old Mrs. Xue took over the account book and was very skeptical.

In just a moment, who can remember something?

She asked tentatively, "What is written on the seventh line of this page?"

Xue Wenyu said lightly: "On April 6, Xin's late year, I bought two taels of spices, agarwood, white sandalwood, and musk, six cents of aquamarine, and four cents of tonnite. The total amount was 2000 silver, four cents of six cents of six cents of silver."

"What is written in the tenth line?"

"On April 7th of Xin's year, I bought five pieces of makeup, silk, cloud and mist, and brocade, and used two or three to three or four cents of silver."

He really remembered how this was possible!

Could it be Yuan Jin helping him? But she just took out this account book, so how could Yuan Jin know in advance? Old Mrs. Xue closed the account book and asked Yuan Jin: "He actually has the ability to remember everything he saw?"

Yuan Jin said, "It's not just that." She asked Xue Wenyu again, "How much money does the mansion spend in this page?"

Xue Wenyu said the answer: "One hundred, seven, two or three cents."

Yuan Jin smiled: "Please check if it's this number?"

Old Mrs. Xue waved her hand: "No need. Since you have the confidence to ask him to answer, you will not be wrong." She walked off the kang bed, walked to Xue Wenyu, looked at him for a long time before asking him seriously, "Wenyu, have you been so talented since you were a child?"

But no one knew about such a seedling, but everyone thought he was stupid!

Xue Wenyu did not answer.

Yuan Jin said, "But it was something I accidentally saw, but no one had ever noticed him. Grandma, you have also seen Wen Yu's talent. Can you bring Wen Yu with you?"
