Chapter 14
After returning to Qing Yuju, Miao Zhu took out the silver and said angrily: "Miss, the maid went to the cashier in the afternoon to get the monthly bills for the three of us. The miss is only six taels of silver, the maid is one tael, and Mother Zhao is also one tael. "

Li Yuyan frowned slightly: "So much?"

"The servant girl felt that it was too little at the time, but the accountant said that the monthly payment in the mansion was six taels for the concubine, and four taels for the concubine. The eldest maid was one tael, and Zhao's mother was originally five hundred, because the manpower of Qingyuju hadn't been added yet. Just give Mother Zhao one or two."

Zhao's mother whispered: "This is on the surface. Those who have biological mothers are subsidized in private."

She was originally Mrs. Xian's maid, but after Mrs. Xian passed away, she began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the monthly money dropped again and again. This has long been seen clearly.

Miao Zhu nodded: "The servant girl has secretly inquired that the third lady is only six taels on the surface, but she actually gets 20 taels every month."

They were temporarily picked up from the ravine without much money.If the young lady wants to investigate the affairs of the madam and the eldest young master, she must take care of it. With such a small monthly fee, what should I do?
Li Yuyan saw her worries, and said softly, "Don't worry about money."

"Miss, is there a way?"

"I'll collect some principal and interest tonight." Li Yuyan smiled easily.

the other side.

After Li Manting returned home, she couldn't wait to go into her study, and practiced the brushwork she saw when she was out of school dozens of times.

It was clearly just a vertical hook, but she couldn't practice Li Yuyan's calm and calm silver hook to tail.

For a moment, she was so angry that she threw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the ground.

Without a solid foundation, it is impossible to write in that state. Li Manting felt that it was just a coincidence when Li Yuyan practiced writing.

If she thinks so, she will feel better.

into the night.

The spring night is quiet and the evening breeze is gentle.

Seeing Li Yuyan wearing men's clothes and her hair tied up, Miao Zhu excitedly said: "Miss, bring your servant!"

Li Yuyan reached out and touched her forehead: "Mother Zhao is guarding in the yard, so you can pretend to be me in the house. If someone comes, you can still handle it."

"Miss, don't worry!" Miao Zhu nodded heavily, and immediately brought warm water to help her lady gently peel off the spots on her face.

I stuck to the patchy skin for several days, even if the skin was my own, I still felt a little uncomfortable where I stuck it.

Li Yuyan washed his face carefully and applied homemade balm, which relieved a lot.

"Miss...Miss..." Zhao's mother came in, and when she saw her young lady with a face as clean as jade, she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

"In Li Mansion, only the three of us know about this matter."

Mother Zhao is the person next to her mother, and Li Yuyan didn't intend to hide it from her.

"Yes, this old slave knows!" While talking, Zhao's mother felt uncomfortable, "Miss looks like a fairy, married to the prince, isn't that..."

Miao Zhu giggled: "Flowers stuck in cow dung?"

Mother Zhao laughed out loud, "You little cunning!"

Li Yuyan smiled lightly, and raised her hand to trace the original soft eyebrows, making her face more masculine, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and handsome eyebrows.

To find out the cause of the eldest brother's death, you need to sneak into the Ministry of War and check the files of that war.But it's not that easy to sneak into the military department, so she planned to start with Li Yu first.

Going to meet him tonight.

Besides, it was time to pay back the money he owed her.

Instructing Mother Zhao to communicate with Miao Zhu, Li Yuyan came to the courtyard, took advantage of the darkness, jumped onto the roof, and quietly left Li Mansion.

According to the address Li Yu gave at the beginning, Li Yuyan came to a restaurant.

Although it was Haishi at this moment, the restaurant was extremely lively.

I asked Xiaoer for a private room, and when I was about to reach the second floor on the stairs, two people came down facing me.

One was Ye Yiheng, and the other was a young man whom he had seen in the hall before.

If Ye Yiheng was really blind, he wouldn't be able to recognize her, but the person next to him might connect her at this moment with the one she had seen in the palace.

Although she was a little confident in her men's appearance, Li Yuyan subconsciously spread out her folding fan and quietly covered her face.

"The owner of this restaurant doesn't know how to run a business. I think the dishes are not as good as the ones in the Zuixian restaurant next door, but there are still a lot of customers. Look, it's this hour, and there are still people coming." While speaking, Jiang Lecheng casually Looking up, he saw a very handsome young gentleman.

Huh, this person seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before.

When I thought about it again, the little man had already gone up to the second floor.

Li Yuyan put away the folding fan, thought for a moment, and felt that something was wrong.

If Ye Yiheng was really blind, why didn't he need someone to help him walk the stairs?
Turning her head slightly, she looked towards the stairs...

At this moment, Ye Yiheng, whose eyes were covered with white veil, happened to turn his head.

For some reason, Ye Yiheng, whose eyes were covered with white gauze, made her a little nervous, so Li Yuyan hurriedly hid her body behind the pillar.

In the lobby on the first floor, Ye Yiheng muttered to himself: "Is someone staring at us from behind?"

It's all because of eye problems, if he can only see the outline of people at this moment, why is he so uncertain?

Jiang Lecheng heard the words and looked upstairs and downstairs: "No, maybe you feel wrong?"

At this moment, Li Yuyan had already entered the private room, took his seat calmly, and said to Xiaoer: "Please ask your big boss to come out."

"My lord, is it because the young one's poor service makes it difficult for you to order food?"

"Not really, it's just that I have something important to say, so I would like to ask my little brother for a favor."

Unexpectedly, the young master in front of him was quite polite, Xiaoer wanted to say a few words, so he couldn't say anything, so he invited the shopkeeper on the spot.

Li Yuyan glanced at the shopkeeper and shook her head: "I want to meet the big boss behind your scenes."

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, fearing that the person in front of him was here to make trouble.

Occupying a private room without ordering food for no reason, and wanting to meet the big boss, how can such a thing happen?
Besides, did the big boss meet him as soon as he said he would?

"Young man, if you don't drink or eat, please go out, don't delay our business!" The shopkeeper arrogantly made a gesture of invitation, "If you want to cheat for food and drink, our shop will not entertain you!"

Li Yuyan raised the corners of her lips slightly, took out the jade pendant and placed it gently on the table.

The sound of Yupei touching the table was light but crisp.

The young master in front of him looked calm, the shopkeeper couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and finally saw the jade pendant on the table.

So he hurriedly bowed and made amends: "The little old man has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, young master forgive me! The little old man will go and invite the big boss over here."

"It's okay, just wait a little longer." Li Yuyan straightened her robes, her face still calm.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead, and he shouted at the waiter, "Guy who has no eyesight, hurry up and serve good tea to the distinguished guest!"

Xiaoer said yes, but he slandered in his heart. In terms of eyesight, the shopkeeper is no different.However, how could the shopkeeper see such a big change when he saw a jade pendant?
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he almost bumped into the door frame, took a step back, smiled awkwardly at Li Yuyan, and then left the private room.
