?It was already after noon when I returned to the mansion. ?Ran? Wen Xiao?? Say?w?ww?.?

Zheng Qianqian followed Yan Hanyu to Mingruoyuan.

After hearing Yan Hanyu's words, Yan Jingxiang went back to admit her mistakes and told Lu about what happened in Shangyifang. Although Lu was angry, she still endured it first and asked her what she thought after reading the accounts of the two families.

Yan Jingxiang expressed her doubts. Prices will change every season. Winter clothes have winter clothes, and spring clothes have spring clothes, and each material will also have a big difference. But if ordinary cotton materials and silk satin prices are the same, there must be a problem.

When Lu heard this, he also remembered her words and asked him to go to Shangyifang to read the account book for the past two months.

In previous years, Lu's account checks were conducted in the middle of the year and the end of the year. The monthly account was randomly checked, and there would be no major problems if there was no difference between the general account.

Manager Tian has been a shopkeeper in Shangyifang for six years. Because he is sincere and has good credit, he was hired by Lu. Now he is greedy for money, although it is not much money, but he is still greedy.

It is precisely because he is not greedy that Manager Tian has been lucky enough to take advantage of the late spring when he does not check the accounts in the year. The accounts can be settled in the middle of the year, and the accounts sent to Lu are seamless. In this way, Manager Tian learned this skill and was greedy for profit. In the past two years, he has made his family richer.

This time, after Lu found out about Manager Tian, ​​he naturally would not continue to hire him and was fired.

Because Manager Tian has been doing his best to manage the shop in recent years, Lu did not take back the money and only fired Manager Tian.

Lu was extremely satisfied with Yan Jingxiang's performance this time, and the girl in her family was finally useless.

Zheng Qianqian arrived at Yan's mansion for the first time. She had a wide gate and a high house with a deep courtyard, which was no different from the Prince-Confucian Mansion. She was only confused by the clear and cold courtyard, and there was no one walking around.

"Is there no one in the place where you live? Is the mansion of the Taifu so deserted?"

"This is Mingruoyuan, I and my mother live."

"Where is your father?"

No one asked her like this. Yan Hanyu was stunned for a while, and then closed her eyebrows and responded softly, "He has passed away."

Zheng Qianqian even unexpectedly waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't say it on purpose, I don't know, I really don't know."

"The princess doesn't have to blame herself, those who don't know are innocent." No one must know what other people's affairs are.

Besides, how many people can remember her father’s death for so many years?

Yan Hanyu likes Zheng Qianqian's pure temperament, which looks very similar to Shizuka, but she loves talking more than Shizuka, so she is willing to make friends.

"You are so deserted here, I often come to you to play in the future."

Yan Hanyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I usually have a lot of homework and am afraid that I will neglect the princess." She can come occasionally once or twice, but she really doesn't know if she has time to entertain her if she has too many times.

"Do you have homework?" Zheng Qianqian complained, "My mother asked me to learn a lot. Can those things be eaten? She only knows a few words and has read a few books. She even asked me to learn piano and chess. In order to let me learn those things that are still hungry, I would rather eat two more bowls of rice than learn those things..."

"My grandfather said that reading is to distinguish the truth and practicing calligraphy is to hone your resilience. However, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it."

"It's precisely this. When I go back, I want to tell my mother that everyone has their own ambitions, how can I impose my studies?"

Yan Hanyu smiled bitterly and said, "The princess must not say that I said it, otherwise Hanyu would be criticized by the eldest princess."

"Don't worry, I won't tell my mother, you are my good friend."

In just half a day, Zheng Qianqian regarded Yan Hanyu as her close friend and talked about everything.

Thunderstorms turned into dark clouds.

Yan Hanyu sat at the desk, listening to the heavy rain pouring down on the blue bricks and green tiles outside the window.

Good rain knows the season, and it happens when spring comes.

Spring is gone and summer solstice is the beginning of this heavy rain.

This year's rain is abundant, but it's a good year.

Yan Hanyu stayed in the mansion and suddenly heard someone visiting him. This person was Yan Jiamu.

Yan Hanyu was a little surprised when she saw Yan Jiamu bringing Mu Chenxiang.

"Uncle Jiu's sudden visit made Hanyu flatter."

Now Yan Jiamu has lost her immatureness a few years ago and has become more calm. During festivals, she rarely sees him.

Yan Jiamu smiled heartily, "The little girl from the past is now more beautiful, and I almost dare not recognize her."

Yan Hanyu raised her eyebrows and responded, "Thank you for your praise from Uncle Jiu."

"You don't know how modest you are."

Yan Hanyu smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Jiu coming to me?"

Yan Jiamu pulled Chenxiang, who was following behind him, and said, "It was Chenxiang who wanted to see you, so I brought her here."

Seeing them unlucky, Yan Hanyu was confused, "Uncle Jiu and Chenxiang..."

The words are not finished.

Mu Chenxiang's eyes drooped and his expression was restrained.

"If you have something to say, I'll go out first." Yan Jiamu avoided this topic, lowered his head and whispered to Mu Chenxiang, "I'm waiting for you outside."

This tone is completely less arrogant than before.

Mu Chenxiang nodded and replied, "Yes."

When Yan Jiamu went out, Mu Chenxiang was blessed, "Miss."

"I don't have anyone here, why should I be rude?" Yan Hanyu helped her up and said, "Sit here and talk."

Mu Chenxiang only sat down halfway, and was quite at a loss.

"I haven't talked to anyone well for a long time, I just want to come to say a few words to you." She whispered.

"Sister Chenxiang..."

Mu Chenxiang looked up at the clear and clear eyes, and tears were in his eyes, almost choking, "Thank you, Miss, for being willing to treat me as a friend."

"What are you saying? Will I treat you like a mustard of grass when you sell yourself as a slave? If I were such a person, why would I be willing to make friends with you?" Yan Hanyu blamed himself, "It's just that something happened to you, I can't help you. And you ignored me in those two years, and I don't know how to help you."

Mu Chenxiang has sold herself as a slave, how dare she recognize her as a friend again?

She lowered her head and let out a sigh, "With this sentence from a young lady, I, Mu Chenxiang, will not be depressed in my life."

This sentence made Yan Hanyu recall Mu Chenxiang in the past. She was a lively and unrestrained little lady, but now she could not see the shadow of the past. Her eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and her every move was full of humility and tame.

Yan Hanyu couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Sister Chenxiang, if you want to get rid of your slave family..." She wants to help her!

Mu Chenxiang refused, "I appreciate the kindness of the young lady. I am very good now, so I don't have to bother with me."

Yan Hanyu couldn't tell where she was now, but Mu Chenxiang didn't need her help, so she could do nothing.

"Sister Chenxiang..."

"I have decided to be a concubine."

“Agarwood…”

"This is my choice, this is my destiny." Mu Chenxiang said, "Miss, I know what you are going to say, but I have chosen to take this path. Even if I was unwilling to be a concubine at that time, my father was even more reluctant. But now in this world, I have no other relatives except Yan Jiamu, so I can only follow him."

This is her choice!

The bright girl could never go back, she accepted her fate, she compromised! Yan Hanyu could no longer say anything persuasion. She respected her ideas!

"If one day you need help, you must come to me." All she can do is this.
Chapter completed!
