Jiang Xuncheng threw away the Prince of Huai'an and said with a cold expression: "Prince, please respect yourself."
"Don't worry, I will respect myself. I just want to ask you, have you beaten that son of yours?" Without Prime Minister Zhou, Prince Huai'an spoke more directly.
The two people are now standing in a corner under the steps.
His back was to the chamberlain on the steps.
"The prince..."
"Okay, I don't care what you mean, but my princess was pushed by your son and is still lying on the bed. If you really don't show anything, I will never let you go. If you don't beat him, I will break his legs." Prince Huai'an interrupted Jiang Xuncheng's words.
"Prince...what does this mean?" Jiang Xuncheng's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
He only has this son so far, and he is still his most beloved son.
The old lady didn't take action. He thought about it yesterday and finally didn't take action either.
"It's no fun! Just... just take care of yourself." The Prince of Huai'an County sneered, threw down these words, and turned around to leave.
Jiang Xuncheng stood there, watching the Prince of Huai'an leave. Although his face was calm, his eyes were gloomy, and his fists were tightly clenched under his hanging sleeves.
How dare the Prince of Huai'an County... threaten him? He is already... a leftist prime minister!
Jiang Linhan was beaten after all.
Jiang Xuncheng was beaten severely when he returned home. After receiving the news, the old lady hurried over without stopping him.
Jiang Linhan had been beaten until he was bleeding.
The old lady was in pain and sad. While scolding Jiang Xuncheng, she had someone carry Jiang Linhan back.
When the news reached Jiang Jinxin, Jiang Jinxin only smiled faintly.
Jiang Xuncheng was really kind to this son born from his concubine. In the situation like yesterday, he didn't even beat him. He was really kind and fatherly.
If he had been beaten yesterday, she would have looked up to him, but now... it's still a little late.
He reached out and knocked on the table gently, and looked at the housekeeper who handed over the account book: "What's going on with this account? Why is there always such an expense?"
"Report to the second girl, this is Aunt Gu's previous expenses in the palace, and the prime minister and the old lady also agree." The housekeeper reported with a smile.
Aunt Gu went to the nunnery, and Mrs. Kong was seriously ill again. The old lady asked Jiang Jinxin and Jiang Linglong to take care of the housework together, with Jiang Jinxin as the main one and Jiang Linglong as the assistant.
If you don't understand anything, you can ask the old lady.
Today is the first time Jiang Jinxin is in charge of Jiang Mansion's accounts.
In her last life, Jiang Jinxin didn't take the turn to take care of the accounts when she got married. As for the process of some things, Tian's mother told her, but she never practiced it.
I don’t know how many assets my family has.
In her previous life, her dowry was very small, and only the old lady gave her some of it. As for Jiang Xuncheng, he didn't give her a penny. If she hadn't married a prince, the old lady probably wouldn't have given it to her.
The so-called dowry seemed to be a lot of money, but it was actually used to make up the amount. For this reason, Jiang Jinxin was very shameless among the princes and concubines.
When he started to be a housekeeper in Prince Jing's Mansion, he not only didn't understand it, but also let the high-status stewards in the manor take charge and stir up trouble.
Now, the old lady asked her to take charge of things, and she still took charge, naturally to appease her mother and aunt.
Jiang Linglong didn't show up. It was said that she was also sick.
After Aunt Gu left the house, Jiang Linglong did not appear in front of Jiang Jinxin. She was sick!
"The account of the thief has been sending incense money to a temple?" Jiang Jinxin pointed to the top and asked.
"The old lady said that this family is very effective, and Aunt Gu also adheres to the old lady's wishes." The manager was not convinced, and brought the old lady with him when he spoke, and he was very unfavorable to Jiang Jinxin.
There are many stewards with such thoughts.
Aunt Gu has been in charge of the Jiang Mansion's backyard for so many years, and even forced the main wife out of the Jiang Mansion. Even the eldest son is very respectful to Aunt Gu, and many servants agree with Aunt Gu.
Compared to Madam, Aunt Gu is truly capable!
Return is inevitable...
Jiang Jinxin was not worried. She knew that there were many supervisors who looked down on her, so she just had to wait a few more days. She tapped her fingers lightly on the ledger and said, "Stop it!"
"Wha...what?" The steward raised his head in shock, "This is...what the old lady meant."
"What does grandma mean?"
"Yes, it was what the old lady meant. When the old lady said it, the slaves and others heard it. After that, Aunt Gu followed the old lady's wish and took the silver from the Duke and kept it in front of the Buddha. This has something to do with the house. The luck inside." The steward was also anxious, and not only took out the old lady, but also talked about the luck.
"It's about luck? Who said that?"
"This...this is what the old lady meant." The woman in charge hesitated.
"Why does grandma mean everything? Aunt Gu is obviously in charge of this matter! When did grandma say this? Why do you always think it belongs to this family? Does grandma mean to worship for one period, or to continue to worship? ? Look like this, it’s been several years, right? You’ve been given so much incense money?”
Jiang Jinxin flipped through the ledger. This one was from this year. It didn't include the one from a few years ago, but she knew it was several years ago.
This matter is related to another thing, which is vaguely not simple.
Fahua Temple is a centuries-old temple. It is said that it was once very prosperous, but then gradually declined. However, this decline is relative to its previous scale. If compared to other temples, Fahua Temple is still He was at the height of his popularity and was praised by many aristocratic families in the capital.
In Fahua Temple, there are not only thousand-year-old ancient trees, but also the original temple body that is said to be thousands of years ago. It is said that this is the origin of Fahua Temple. At that time, it was actually a small palace, and later it developed into this large temple. of the Buddhist temple.
Some say it lasts for thousands of years, while others say it lasts for hundreds of years.
In any case, this is the original place of Fahua Temple.
Fahua Temple also has a special place. It is divided into a front temple and a back temple. The front temple is a large place where monks live. The back temple is much smaller. It is separated by a high wall and houses several nuns who come to hang orders. When it is inconvenient for the monks to receive women from aristocratic families, these nuns will receive them.
It is said that several nuns who now live in Fahua Temple came here this way.
This is the tradition of Fahua Temple, which shows that even if it is a men's temple, female nuns are treated equally and are all disciples of Buddhism, regardless of gender.
For this purpose, it is highly praised by the women of the aristocratic family.
Occasionally, when the female relatives need to perform rituals, and when the inner courtyard is inconvenient, they will also invite female nuns to come to the house. Those who originally came to pay orders will basically not leave when they arrive at Fahua Temple.
When Jiang Jinxin didn't see the account book, she didn't think about it. When she saw the account book, she suddenly remembered a person, a person she had met twice, a person who had some relationship with Fahua Temple and a relatively close relationship.
Even though it happened twice, the memory is still fresh!
Once in Jiang Mansion and once in Prince Jing’s Mansion!
The surname is Han...
On the notes of the account book, there is a small and almost ignored mark: surname Han!
"Who is marked here?" Jiang Jinxin pointed at the mark on the ledger.
The housekeeper said: "It's a person who helped send it there."
"From the mansion?"
"It's not from the house. Sometimes Aunt Gu is given directly by someone, and sometimes Aunt Han comes to get it. Although she lives at home, she is still a monk. She has a separate room at home to worship Buddha. I have been a vegetarian all my life, and I will go to Huafa Temple to stay for a while from time to time.”
The stewardess said.
"Gua Gu?"
Gua Gu among the three aunts, although she lives at home, she can also be regarded as a monk.
"Yes, it's a Gua Gu, very effective." said the housekeeper.
"I have the final say on this account book matter. Let's stop it." Jiang Jinxin was silent for a moment, as if she was not interested in the matter. "If this Aunt Han has any problems, just ask her to come to me."
"Second girl, the old lady's..."
"Grandma, I asked myself, the so-called offerings are usually given casually, how can you keep offering them? After so many years, they are broken." Jiang Jinxin said in a deep voice again.
"Second girl..." The housekeeper was unconvinced.
"Could it be that you still want to disobey the second girl's wishes?" Tian's mother snorted coldly. She came here specially to help Jiang Jinxin. Mrs. Kong was worried about her daughter's first time as a housekeeper.
"But...the old lady..."
"The old lady has her own report from the second girl. You are just a servant. You just obey your orders and you won't back down!" Tian's mother scolded her unceremoniously.
The housekeeper was ashamed and ashamed, and her face looked ugly, but she did not dare to say anything more and could only retreat.
He looked back at the house behind him, turned around and left.
Aunt Gu is not here, and there is the eldest girl. She wants to complain to the eldest girl.
After hearing the maid's report that a mother-in-law had arrived, Jiang Linglong asked someone to bring her in.
"Big girl, go and have a look. The second girl doesn't know how to take care of things, but she insists on taking care of things. See what she's doing now? It used to be well organized and easy to follow, but the second girl changed it when she came up. Now even I can't Things that were decided by people were immediately changed, without taking Aunt Gu and the old lady into consideration at all."
The housekeeper complained as soon as she entered the door and was very angry.
Jiang Linglong sat on the chair with a haggard face, looking ugly. Her body was not fully recovered before, but what happened later happened. What made her even more unexpected was that Aunt Gu was actually beaten and sent out of the house. She endured it for a while. If he couldn't hold on, he immediately fell down.
"Tell me carefully what happened?"
Jiang Linglong said, her eyes dark and resentful.
When Aunt Gu left, she warned her again and again, and Jiang Linglong listened.
The housekeeper then angrily told the story again, and after she finished she said: "The second girl doesn't know how to take care of the house, and she has never taken care of the house. Now she just said she would stop the money. I'm so angry." If you don’t say anything, you still dare to go against the old lady’s wishes. Eldest girl, please take care of the second girl!”
"Does grandma know about this?" Jiang Linglong asked.
"The old lady doesn't know yet. I want to come over first and report to the eldest lady. Will you go and report to the old lady now?" said the housekeeper.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Linglong gritted her teeth, "Do you know that woman?"
"Is the eldest lady talking about Aunt Han?"
Jiang Linglong nodded, remembering that Aunt Gu's plan before she left happened to mention this Guagu surnamed Han...
