Chapter 557

"Miss, there are guests in the mansion today, why don't you go to the front yard to have a look?"

The next day, Xiang Wan went to Meiyuan to check the accounts that Ji Meiniang had just sent from Manager Liu in the mansion.After reading a few pages, I heard the sound of Zicuckoo resounding through the entire courtyard before entering the door.

Zijuan was Ji Meiniang's personal maid specially chosen for Xiang Wan. Because of the intimacy of her companionship, she was quite lively in private, and never beat around the bush when talking to Xiang Wan.

Because Zicuckoo was walking in a hurry, she didn't pay attention to the bottom of her feet for a while, and almost tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

Xiang Wan laughed, "There is no need to perform such a big gift, there is no reward."

Cui'er, the cleaning maid in the house, saw it and laughed so hard that her shoulders shook.Zijuan blushed, quickly patted the dust on her body, and mumbled: "Miss, it's a big deal, you still make fun of slaves."

"The sky is falling, and I'll take care of it, Miss." Xiang Wan put down the account book, picked up the steaming tea, blew on it gently, and drank it in one gulp.

Tasting tea, the most flavorful thing is freshly brewed, and after drinking it after a while, the taste will not be the same.But Xiang Wan didn't have that leisurely mood.No matter how good the tea is in front of her, they all taste the same.

"Are you done with your business?"

"Don't worry, miss. You just need to worry about 120 things when the servants are doing things."

"Well, go to the cashier to get two taels of silver, and it will be your hard work. It should be done, don't be stingy."

"Oh, the servant girl knows."

After Zijuan finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around again, leaned in front of Xiang Wan, and said in a low voice, "Miss, this time you must listen to the servant girl, go to the front yard and have a look, and don't forget."

Seeing Zi Juan's seriousness, Xiang Wan picked up the account book at hand, slapped her on the forehead casually, and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go, housekeeper."

"Miss!"

Zicuckoo walked away step by step. Xiang Wan took a quick look at the accounts and marked out the unclear ones. Then she got up, changed her clothes, and went to the garden.

After visiting the Cao Mansion seriously, Xiang Wan was really curious about what Ah San wanted to do.

It was sunny after the rain, and there was a smell of earth in the air, as well as the fragrance of flowers, which was very pleasant.As soon as he stepped onto the cobblestone road that had been washed white by the rain, he saw Cao Ruwan leading the maid Bi Er walking towards him, holding a square box in his hand.

When they met, Xiang Wan slowed down and waited for them to come forward.

"Ruwan met my sister."

Cao Ruwan led the servant girl to salute Xiang Wan. The bead flower on her head looked very eye-catching.

"Where is my sister going? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost a lot."

"My sister was joking. My mother took good care of Ruwan. What happened that day almost caused my mother to be misunderstood by my father. Feeling guilty, Ruwan couldn't sleep or eat. She deliberately picked some fresh melons and fruits to make amends to her mother. It didn't work." Think, there are guests in the front hall, Ruwan... Ruwan deserves it." As she spoke, Cao Ruwan's slightly embarrassed face was stained with a thin blush.

"Oh? If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Counting the days, it's almost five days. If my sister is really thinking about mother, why not embroider a purse as an apology. Aunt Yuan is inconvenient, so I can only trouble my sister. "

"Thank you for your suggestion, my sister will go back to embroider purses."

Xiang Wan nodded, and Cao Ruwan led Bi'er, walking past her slowly.Vaguely, Xiang Wan smelled a very faint smell, which was very familiar.

Seeing Cao Ruwan's figure disappear around the corner, Xiang Wan's eyes flickered slightly.It seems that Yuan Xiqing has decided to give it a go.

When they came to the front hall, Cao Xinqian and Ji Meiniang were sitting at the top, and Ah San was sitting on the guest chair beside him. As soon as the tea in hand was finished, someone came over and replaced it with a new one.

"Master Cao, Mrs. Cao, everything I said is true. I hope you two will consider it carefully. During this period of time, I will be waiting for good news from you two at the Yunlai Inn in the capital. It's not early Alright, let me take my leave first."

Standing up, the tall, tall, shrewd and handsome man took such a casual alias, no matter how nicely he spoke, others would inevitably be suspicious of him.But it's hard to say, driven by profit, names and so on are irrelevant.

Cao Xinqian stood up, and ordered Xiaoliu to see off the guests with a smile on his face, but Ji Meiniang didn't get up, and he didn't have a good look at this Ah San.

When the guest left, Cao Xinqian flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Hmph, a woman's opinion. It's rare that he came to seek cooperation with such sincerity. Do you want to defeat my Cao family with your appearance? I'm too lazy to tell you, this matter It's settled like that. If you don't agree, don't interfere in the future. "

As he said that, Cao Xinqian strode out, even ignoring Ahong's invitation to visit Yuan Xiqing in Zhuyuan.

Xiang Wan walked up to Ji Meiniang's side a few steps, and seeing her calm expression, she couldn't help asking, "Mother, what is that man doing here? What relationship do we have with him?"

Hearing this, Ji Meiniang raised her head and looked at Xiang Wan steadfastly, her eyes seemed to see Xiang Wan through.

"Xiang Wan, in the Ji Mansion, have you ever met him?"

Xiang Wan didn't say a word, which was a tacit agreement.Ji Meiniang sighed: "Although he has saved your uncle's life, we don't know his background and what he really does. I don't feel very good about him. Lacao's mansion does business, but I don't think it's that simple. He seems to you..."

"Mother, you're overthinking." Xiang Wan hurriedly interrupted, "For a person like him, his vision and experience are different from ordinary people. Even if he has a good impression of his daughter, it is limited to the current situation. The Lacao Mansion mixes his The purpose of business is not simple. Judging by Daddy's appearance just now, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him."

Ji Meiniang let out a long breath, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appeared more and more at this moment.

Xiang Wan stood behind her, put her arms around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, I know what you're worried about. Everything my daughter has done is to allow Mother to live happily. Living, everything It will all be a thing of the past. My daughter is not afraid, so don't hesitate any longer."

After a long silence, Ji Meiniang reached out and patted the back of Xiang Wan's hand, and said, "It's okay."

In the following days, Cao Xinqian was very busy. After returning from the Imperial Academy, he went out without even meeting him.When resting, there was no one to be seen.

Ji Meiniang was also very busy, she handed over all the household chores to Wang Ma, while Xiang Wan was in charge of the accounting.

Everything in the Cao Mansion seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner, but those people hiding in the dark were already ready to move.

The incident broke out just a week before Xiang Wan and Ji, when she cleared out the things she wanted to return to Ah San, she suddenly found that something was missing.

It was a girl's hairpin, with stamens inlaid with glass stones, which was beautiful in the sun.That day Xiangwan wanted to dig it out to wear it, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it.Wu Ma, who was in charge of the warehouse, could hardly absolve herself of the blame.

Wu Ma, like Wang Ma, is an old man brought by Ji Meiniang to the Cao Mansion.Wu Ma is in charge of the warehouse, while Wang Ma helps Ji Meiniang manage the Cao Mansion.Speaking of which, the servants should respect Wang Ma even more, because her identity has an important connection with the errand they planned.A word she said is much more effective than servants asking for help.

Losing things is a big deal in the mansion.Before Xiang Wan could speak, Wang Ma led her servants to escort Wu Ma to the front hall, waiting for Ji Meiniang to find out.

Cao Xinqian was not in the mansion, so Xiang Wan asked Zijuan to call all the servants in the mansion, as well as Yuan Xiqing and Cao Ruwan to the front yard.

"Madam, eldest lady, someone has already brought it. It was found from her house, please take a look at it, Madam."
