New widow

So much so that Su Qiao has not even gotten to know her even after being here for so many days.

"Madam, you are here just a few years ago. You will know as time goes by. In this mansion, you can see a piece of paint being scratched at every corner." Madam Huang's words of comfort to Su Qiao, so what? Madam Huang is not just sighing about her youth. In this house, from a maid to a housekeeper, she is really familiar with everything in every place.

Every plant and tree can be clearly seen when it is dry and when it is green.

"I will have that day too." After hearing this, Su Qiao's heart moved, and there was a hint of sadness in her words.

Madam Huang heard the sadness in Su Qiao's words and wanted to comfort Su Qiao, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only accompany Su Qiao to the mourning hall.

Those people are always present in the mourning hall. Suqiao looked at the name on the memorial tablet with a dazed expression. She had to guard this man whom she had only met once, and guard him for the rest of her life. When she died, she would be with him. Let’s go into the Song family’s ancestral hall and receive incense and offerings. How ridiculous.

A mocking smile appeared on Suqiao's lips, but there was a noise outside, and then a woman walked in with a somewhat unhappy look on her face: "Madam, she is the member of the acapella group. They said that although she was dismissed from the palace, she still It’s time to come and kowtow in front of the Duke, and thank you for your kindness over the years.”

Madam Huang subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, if these people came in, who knew whether they would cause any trouble. Su Qiao said calmly: "Let them come in."

After saying this, Suqiao smiled at Madam Huang: "It's now time. They are going to make trouble, and it won't be the face of the Duke's palace that will be embarrassed."

not every

The family's mansion can afford to support a small cappella troupe. If they can find a good place to go, they will naturally have to perform all the etiquette. If they make a big fuss in front of Song Anling, those who are willing to accept them may not be willing to accept them. .

Sure enough, the teacher led the six people in. The six of them behaved well and respectfully burned incense and kowtowed to Song An's spiritual tablet.

The two teachers even shed a few tears, just to thank Song An for taking care of him over the years. After crying, the two teachers kowtowed to Suqiao again: "We say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see Madam again in the future. We have nothing else to say to each other, so let's kowtow to Madam."

Suqiao could bear this gift, so she sat there and let them kowtow. The young lady was still a little reluctant to come forward and kowtow, but the young man pulled him, and then she twisted her body and came forward to kowtow to Suqiao. As for the other few, Suqiao looked at them and found that they were all very handsome.

Although Song An said he didn't take money seriously, everyone who could get money from him really had their own abilities.

After the group of a cappella singers left, Su Qiao asked Mrs. Huang: "You said that before the death of the Duke of Guo, he also gave some money to Master Shiyi to buy some treasures."

"These are all paid by the accounting office outside. As for the treasures, they are all placed in the warehouse." That's all Madam Huang could say. But that was enough. Suqiao smiled and said, "Since there is a counting room and accounts, it's easy to handle. Let's check the accounts to see what treasures there are."

Su Qiao still hadn't said a word, but Madam Huang already knew that what Su Qiao wanted to say was how much money could still be gotten back.

Therefore, Madam Huang's expression changed slightly: "Madam, this, if

The eleventh master is coming to cry for the Duke of the country, and the eldest master will definitely show up when the time comes. What should we do? "

"There's nothing to do." Suqiao smiled faintly: "If you don't come up with something hard, do you really think we are weak persimmons?"

Pinch if you want, pinch if you want, pay if you want to pay? What a sweet dream.

Madam Huang immediately understood the meaning of Su Qiao's words, responded respectfully and left.

"Mother." Song Zhen's voice sounded again, and Su Qiao looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

"It turns out that if you want to live well in this big mansion, you need to have countless thoughts." Song Zhen's words made Suqiao smile: "It's too early for you to think about these things now."

"Mom is not much older than me." Song Zhen said seriously, Suqiao reached out and touched Song Zhen's face: "We are different."

"It's nothing different. I only have my mother who loves me." Song Zhen thought of the life she and her mother had in a small town, and a smile appeared on her lips: "There are always people who bully us because we are orphans and widowed mothers, and they want to harm us. , and, and..."

When Song Zhen spoke, her eyes sparkled. This was the liveliest Song Zhen Suqiao had seen in so many days. Perhaps, Song Zhen should not have entered such a house in the first place. She should have lived a peaceful and comfortable life in a small town, in a small courtyard, with her biological mother.

"Mother, are you tired of me saying this?" Song Zhen showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, and Suqiao patted her face: "I'm not tired of it. I really like hearing what you say."

Song Zhen smiled again. What an innocent girl she was. The bright smile on her face should have appeared often instead of being trapped in this mansion.

In the courtyard.

But Su Qiao didn't say these words. She just patted Song Zhen's hand gently. Life would continue like this, whether they wanted to or not.

"Today, in the accounting room outside, someone is going to check the money that was paid to Master Shiyi." Su Du, who was sitting on the chair bored, raised his head and looked at Zhang Qing: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" There was a special light in Zhang Qing's eyes: "Just think, if this investigation really finds out something, I'm afraid the cause of the death of the Duke of Guo will come from here."

"But it is common for various mansions to falsely report some expenses when purchasing." After a brief excitement, Su Du sat down again. It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Whether it is the accountant or the purchaser, they will always give a little more money, and even tacitly agree to a nine-five-year repayment period.

"There is a certain amount of money for the reimbursement. What if the greed for money is too much and even the Duke of the country finds out that something is wrong?" Zhang Qing asked back.

Su Du tapped his hand on the table a few times: "Let's go to the accounting room and have a look."

The accounting room of the Duke's Mansion is located next to the study. There are funerals during this period, and the accounting room is also very lively. When Su Du and Zhang Qing arrived, several accounting gentlemen were moving out several books of accounts with great dissatisfaction.

"These days, we are very busy because of the funeral of the Duke of Guo. With just one word from Madam, she will check the money that Master Eleven bought for the Duke of Guo on that day. Doesn't this make us even more busy? ?”

This sounded like a complaint, and Su Du had already said loudly: "We need to check the accounts. It just so happens that the accounting room in our house is idle, so why not just bring two people over to help."

The one is hugging

The resentful accountant hurriedly stood up and saluted Su Du: "Master Su, please come quickly."
