Lu Guanyu clenched the money tightly, his eyes determined: "I'll go out and buy meat now."

Li Jinglan smiled and shook her head: "A good girl never leaves the house, you have to remember this."

Nanny Liu glanced at Li Jinglan.

Lu Guanyu was not allowed to go out of the second door, but was put in charge of the kitchen.

This is to ask Lu Guanyu to find someone to buy it.

But this can easily breed corruption.

Lu Guanyu has never taken care of the household.

Can it be managed?

Nanny Liu wanted to see what Lu Guanyu would do next.

Lu Guanyu had no idea what Aunt Liu was thinking, and walked out of the house with the money.

Seeing that the few girls who had just been recruited today didn't know what to do, Li Jinglan curled her lips and smiled:

"I don't need anyone here, you guys follow the eldest girl first."

When the little girls heard what was said, they hurriedly followed him out.

They were chattering around Lu Guanyu: "Big girl, you can't go out, let my dad go buy meat!"

"Let my brother go buy it. My brother knows where to buy meat."

Hearing the scramble outside, Aunt Liu couldn't help but speak out.

"Madam, do you want to find someone to follow the eldest girl? These girls have just come to the family and we don't know their character yet." said Madam Liu.

"No need to follow, and don't tell Xiaoyuer how to manage the kitchen." Li Jinglan smiled and shook her head.

After being cheated several times in different ways, Lu Guanyu naturally knew how to avoid these traps.

If you get cheated now, it’s just a few bucks.

This will save you from being cheated out of hundreds of taels in the future.

How to deal with corruption caused by procurement and how to prevent corruption.

This is a compulsory course for the mistress!

You must learn to watch fish from land.

Li Jinglan stood up.

It’s time to take a look at what Lu Zhang left behind.

After entering the bedroom, open the box containing the silver first.

Looking at the silver cakes in the box, Li Jinglan calculated: "About four or five hundred taels."

There is a cabinet next to the silver box.

The cabinet is full of copper coins.

I picked up a bunch of money, there should be about one string.

Li Jinglan estimated the size of the box and said, "There are about a hundred taels of silver in this box."

She opened the jewelry box again. Most of the jewelry in the box were made of silver, with only two or three sets of gold head ornaments.

He took out a few pieces that looked more delicate and put them in a small box, then turned around and gave them to Lu Guanyu.

Under the jewelry box, there is the title deed.

Start recording.

After finishing the records in the bedroom, I still have to go to the warehouse to check the accounts.

There are a lot of things to do.

Looking at Li Jinglan's well-balanced, thin and hard body.

Madam Liu couldn't help but praise: "Madam, your calligraphy must have taken several years to master."

Li Jinglan couldn't help but smile: "I have been practicing for some years."

In this world, it is against etiquette for women to exercise.

In her previous life, she practiced calligraphy while doing horse stance and pretending to sit on a stool.

I have practiced calligraphy and horse stance for a lifetime.

In very good health.

It will be the same this time.

Standing firmly in horse stance.

It looks like he is sitting on a stool.

While Li Jinglan was keeping accounts, Lu Guanyu came to the kitchen.

At this time, a little girl said, "Miss, do you know the price of meat?"

Lu Guanyu glanced at the little girl and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chun Ya." Chun Ya bent her knees. It can be seen that she had practiced how to salute outside.

"Pork is 18 cents a pound, mutton is 23 cents a pound, and I don't know about beef." Chun Ya said.

Lu Guanyu memorized the price of the meat and said, "Then I'll buy a pound."

I held two hundred dollars in my hand but didn't know how to divide it into eighteen cents, so I thought about it for a while.

"Come here and get the eighteen cents." Lu Guanyu said.

Chun Ya stepped forward, took out eighteen coins, and tied the rope again.

Several little girls glared at Chun Ya because they failed to get jobs for their fathers and brothers.

Chun Ya put the money in her handkerchief and ran out clutching the handkerchief.

Ignore these little girls completely.

Her parents told her to be lively.

As long as you can grab the first job, you will be able to show your face in the future.

Chun Ya remembered these words!

When Chun Ya took the money to buy meat, Li Jinglan had already finished writing down the bill and was looking at the land deed.

The title deed includes the house where she currently lives and nearly 200 acres of land in Xishui Village.

He also owns a house facing the street in Beijing, with the two lower rooms used as shops and the two upper rooms for living.

These land deeds were signed more than ten years ago.

In other words, these are all properties acquired by Lu Bozhou's father.

Except for these land deeds from more than ten years ago.

There are also some new land deeds added in the past two years.

Under the name of Lu Bozhou.

It should have been bought by Lu Zhang and his son. They didn’t dare to put it under their name for fear that it would be snatched away by someone else.

Li Jinglan was a little confused.

She had always thought that Lu Zhang and her son were fools and did not know the importance of scholars.

Since Lu Zhang and her son knew the importance of scholars, why did they dare to abuse Lu Bozhou?

Lu Bozhou is dead.

They simply cannot keep these properties.

Is there something here that she doesn't know?

Li Jinglan pondered and put the deed back into the box.

He picked up a pen and wrote a note of thanks to Doctor Xiao Hu.

"Please ask Madam Liu to send someone to the capital to buy a gift of twenty taels of silver and send it to Doctor Hu's home."

"Not only do we need to prepare gifts, we also need to send them to the home of Doctor Hu in the capital with music and music, and also present a plaque with the inscription of the Medical Immortal of the Forest of Medicine."

He took out thirty taels of silver from the box and handed it to Madam Liu.

"So many?" Nanny Liu was stunned.

Teacher Wang only spent ten taels of silver to invite Doctor Xiao Hu from the capital.

Li Jinglan added: "In addition to this, we will also take the initiative to pay the tax."

"It has been four years since my father-in-law passed away, and my husband has not yet passed the imperial examination. The family should pay all the taxes for the past four years."

Nanny Liu was becoming more and more confused.

Why are there still people who take the initiative to pay additional taxes?

Of course you have to pay taxes!

Because in the previous life, a minister and Lu Bozhou had an argument over taxes.

The minister said, "It's just a small matter that a few court officials' hometowns concealed the land tax, but His Majesty got angry and wanted to punish the court officials."

"If your majesty wants to deal with it, you must first deal with the scholars in the world. Some scholars, relying on their status as Tongsheng, have concealed their land holdings for several years and have not paid taxes."

Lu Bozhou was imprisoned among the people and indeed had never paid any taxes.

But he couldn't say that he was unable to pay taxes because he had been imprisoned for several years.

I almost got scolded.

Lu Guanyu's voice came from outside: "Sister-in-law, dinner is ready."

Several little girls were carrying food boxes.

Lay out the food one by one.

There were four dishes in total, one dish of fried meat with celery, one dish of fried eggs with green onions, fried water bamboo shoots with meat, and fried tofu with minced meat.

It's all home-cooked food.

Li Jinglan smiled slightly: "How much did these four dishes cost?"

Lu Guanyu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It cost more than thirty cents."

Li Jinglan looked at the meat in front of her again and asked, "How many pounds of meat did you buy?"

"I bought a pound, 18 cents a pound." Lu Guanyu's voice was very soft.

"Can everyone in the family eat meat?" Li Jinglan asked her.

Lu Guanyu shook his head, "Only these four dishes have meat."

"Then you didn't fulfill my request." In front of so many people, Li Jinglan didn't say anything blaming him, but talked about Lu Guanyu's monthly salary.

"From this month on, you will receive a monthly allowance of one tael of silver."

"If you didn't do well this time, I'll deduct ten cents from you. Are you willing to accept this?"

Hearing that she actually received a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver, Lu Guanyu looked up in surprise.

But when I thought about the ten cents being deducted all at once, I felt so sad that I almost cried.

"Sister-in-law, I admit defeat." Lu Guanyu pouted, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Go wash your hands and eat." After letting Lu Guanyu wash his hands, Li Jinglan looked at the little girls and asked, "Who bought the meat today?"

Chun Ya stepped forward quickly: "It's me."

Li Jinglan nodded: "Very good! You didn't cheat your daughter."

After asking for his name and surname, he was indeed an old resident of Xishui Village.

I also saw that Chun Ya behaved very generously, which must have been taught by her parents at home.

Li Jinglan decided to take her as a role model, so she said:

"From today on, you will serve the young lady personally, and your monthly salary will be increased to 120 yuan. The name Chun Ya is too casual..."

Li Jinglan thought for a few seconds: "Spring means the harmony of the sky. It means the blue sun, the growth of things, and the abundance of dew. From now on, I will call you Qinglu."

Although I don’t know what the two words Qinglu mean.

But this name was given by Li Jinglan.

Before naming it, the origin was explained.

Qinglu was surprised and delighted, she knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Madam."

She's quite a clever little girl.

I think after this incident, Lu Guanyu knew how heavy a pound of meat weighs.

I also understood the price of meat.

This is much more effective than pulling Lu Guanyu's ear and telling her how much money she can buy a pound of meat.

After dinner.

Li Jinglan got the news that the yamen runners outside wanted to see her.

When the bailiff came in, Li Jinglan was a little surprised.

It turned out to be the class leader.

"I was doing work in the government office today and heard something." The squad leader leaned forward and sat halfway on his chair.

"What's the matter?" Li Jinglan asked Madam Liu to bring the tea to the class leader.

The foreman took the tea and said, "Lu Zhang sent someone to deliver a letter to the capital, saying that Lu Xuande had already rushed to Xishui Village. There were seven or eight strong men who came back with Lu Xuande."

After the squad leader finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Jinglan, "They came back on foot, and should arrive at Xishui Village tomorrow."

Will Lu Xuande come back tomorrow?

And he brought seven or eight strong men with him?

Nanny Liu was startled and quickly turned to look at Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan was not in a hurry, with a smile on her lips: "Thank you, big brother. People's true nature is revealed in times of crisis. Big brother, you sent back the news at this time, which really relieved my anxiety."

"Take five hundred dollars and buy some tea for the head boy." Li Jinglan instructed Aunt Liu.

Only five hundred bucks?

The squad leader thought that Li Jinglan would give him one or two taels of silver like last time.

Seeing the team leader accept the money, Li Jinglan smiled and said, "Does the team leader know anyone from Xiaotuo Temple?"

"Xiaotuo Temple?" This is a temple in Nanli County, and it is quite popular.

The squad leader nodded: "We have dealt with each other before."

"My husband has been poisoned by Lu Zhang for four years and has been imprisoned for four years. He has been in a depressed mood. The weather is neither too cold nor too hot, so my husband wants to invite his friends from the community to visit Xiaotuo Temple."

Li Jinglan said slowly, "I am a woman and cannot show my face in public. Can you ask the team leader to arrange something for me? I will definitely reward you after the matter is completed."

Li Jinglan took out another tael of silver.

Just give money!

The squad leader patted his chest and said, "I'll do it now and I promise to clear the place for you tomorrow."

Seeing the team leader take the money and leave, Aunt Liu was extremely anxious: "Madam, Lu Xuande will be back tomorrow. Do you want me to go home and hire a servant now?"

"There are yamen runners and neighbors outside the courtyard, don't be afraid." Li Jinglan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"what???"

The situation is urgent, but Li Jinglan is still drinking tea calmly?

Nanny Liu was really anxious.

After thinking for a while, Li Jinglan sat at the table and began to write a letter.

This letter is written to Lu Bozhou.

After writing the letter, blow dry it.

Li Jinglan handed it to Madam Liu and said, "Send it to the teacher's house by express horse."

He then took out twenty taels of silver and a few strings of copper coins and handed them to Madam Liu.

This is Lu Bozhou’s social expenses for tomorrow.
