Wife Kim An

Chapter 24

Insomnia last night.I don't know if it's because the bed in the side room is too hard or because she tossed and turned and thought about things all night, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

After going back that night, she instantly broke the culprit in half, threw it into the trash can, and scolded Xing'er several times in her heart.

But she kept her eyes open until there was a noise from the next room, she didn't dare to get up, she didn't dare to go out, and she was relieved until she was sure that Shen Junyi had gone out.

She was suddenly afraid to meet him.Last night, with such an embarrassing scene and such an embarrassing behavior, she immediately felt ashamed to stand in front of him again, let alone having breakfast with him face to face if she woke up in the morning.

She decided to hide from him for a few days.Wait until both of them have almost forgotten, and then face him calmly.

"Miss, are you going to Qingmo Biezhuang today?" Facing Song Xiao's order, Xing'er blinked her eyes to get rid of the contemplation in her eyes.Two days ago, she thought that Song Xiao would go to Qingmo Villa to launch an offensive against Lin Ruyan and get him.But Song Xiao stayed behind closed doors for two days, seeming to be avoiding Shen Junyi.

She was anxious, at this moment, Shen Junyi had to help Song Xiao win the Song family, did something go wrong between the two?
Two nights ago, when she went out to the toilet at night, she saw Song Xiao escape from Shen Junyi's room in despair, broke off the jade pillar angrily and threw it into the garbage dump.Could it be that she really tried to force Shen Junyi, but failed?In fact, that day, she was afraid that Song Xiao would suspect her whereabouts. She gave it to her at random, but she didn't expect that Song Xiao would actually use it without hesitation!No wonder Shen Junyi got up very late that day and was extremely tired.

She speculated endlessly, only to see Song Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Go and see, if something happens to Su Xiaoyuan and you can't leave, I can go alone."

"No, the servant is fine." Xing'er lowered her head.

Looking at the four characters of Qingmo Biezhuang, the corners of Song Xiao's mouth slightly raised.I haven't seen her for two days, I don't know how Ruyan has changed this place, is it a surprise or a disappointment?
There was an unfamiliar old lady standing at the door. She stared at Song Xiao in a daze, then nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "The old servant Xu Shi welcomes the eldest lady." The wrinkled pair of hands slowly opened the door, and then There was no longer a vast and magnificent team of beautiful young people, only two girls in blue dresses were sweeping the floor, and when they saw Song Xiao coming, they bowed gracefully, and then went on to do their own work.

"They!" Xing'er said angrily, "They are so ignorant of etiquette, let the servants teach them a lesson."

Song Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him, but remained silent.

Seeing that Song Xiao was so calm and fearful that she would blame her, Xing'er hurriedly shouted: "Where is Chen Xian? Where is Chen Xian, let her get out and meet the eldest lady." Chen Xian was rescued from the door of the gambling house by her. She obeyed.This man regards gambling as his life, and his hands and feet are not clean, so he was kicked out by the original owner.But she hired her to be the manager of Qingmo Biezhuang, so naturally she had ulterior motives.

At that time, Song Xiao would hand over a sum of money to Qingmo Biezhuang every month. Chen Xian had a good bookkeeping technique, and would secretly draw out a sum of money secretly. If you close your eyes, you can get a lot of kickbacks.

The other servants here were bought by Xing'er at random, they were all cheap servants, and the rest of the money naturally went into her purse.Xing'er was not very familiar with the teenagers kidnapped by Song Xiao.But Song Xiao has a penchant for beautiful men, and she is happy to find a handsome man for her. The more evidence she has, the easier it will be to overthrow her in the future.

"Chen Xian has already been kicked out by me." A cold voice sounded from afar, Song Xiaowen raised his eyes, and saw Lin Ruyan in a brilliant blue dress, walking towards her quickly, pulled back his clothes and saluted, "Lin Ruyan has seen Missy."

"You!" Xing'er's face changed after hearing this, and she said angrily, "Who allowed you to drive her out! She is the manager here. What are you! You acted without informing the eldest lady."

Lin Ruyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if a poppy was blooming: "Missy has entrusted Qingmo Biezhuang to me to take care of, Chen Xian has embezzled thousands of taels of silver for many years, and is addicted to gambling like Fate. The eldest lady cares about people to do things, not to spend money to buy useless people. If she wants to get back together, it is not impossible to leave a seat as a handyman in Qingmo Biezhuang, but she is arrogant. Today, I couldn't bear it and kicked her out. If the eldest lady thinks that I have done something wrong, she can punish me. But it is not Xing'er's turn to pick my fault. I heard that it was Xing'er who was the eldest lady at the beginning. It's the one who chooses someone, but I don't know how to choose someone with such dirty hands and feet..." She hesitated to speak, but looked at Song Xiao.

Hearing this, Song Xiao smiled lightly, with a little smile in her eyes.

She admired Lin Ruyan so much, every word made Xing'er turn pale with anger, and she couldn't help feeling relieved.It was indeed right to hand over Qingmo Biezhuang to Lin Ruyan.

"Miss, this servant really doesn't know that Chen Xian is such a person... this servant is wrong..." Xing'er said with a pale face, hesitating, "Miss handed over Qingmo Biezhuang to Miss Lin to take care of it. ? That servant..."

Song Xiao said lightly: "Xing'er is busy with Su Xiaoyuan's affairs and Qingmo Biezhuang's affairs, so she will inevitably be unable to do what she wants. Since Ruyan has this talent, I will let her take care of it, and you can also relax. This No, Ruyan sensed Chen Xian's suspicion, otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been kept a secret."

"Yes, the young lady taught me a lesson." Xing'er lowered her eyelashes like a row of fans, hiding the hostility and deep thinking towards Lin Ruyan in her eyes.

"Xing'er, go down and rest, I want to talk to Ru Yan about something, so I'll take a look at Xiao Yan by the way."

Although Xing'er was unwilling, her complexion remained the same, and after saluting, she left slowly.

She thought to herself.Who is this Lin Ruyan, and why does Song Xiao obey her?Is it because the eldest lady really planned for Lin Ruyan that she treats Lin Ruyan so kindly, or...

With such an intelligent woman staying by Song Xiao's side, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.Will Lin Ruyan see something...

After Xing'er left, Lin Ruyan frowned slightly: "Miss, if you said before that you suspected that Xing'er has something wrong, then in the past two days, when I dealt with Qingmo Biezhuang, I will be more sure."

"How to say?"

"Yesterday, Chen Xian made a big fuss, and he couldn't help blurting out that Xing'er knew everything about her. Today, she said she didn't know, obviously hiding something." Lin Ruyan sneered, "I don't know if Chen Xian has a problem alone, those she invited The servants are all extremely lazy, and some of them are useless. The eldest lady really raised a bunch of idiots."

Song Xiao touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "You drove them all out?"

Lin Ruyan nodded slightly and said: "I bought two maidservants who can do martial arts with quick hands and feet. As for Mrs. Xu at the door, her daughter just died, and I felt sorry for her, so I invited her here. She used to be a housekeeper , so I also ask her for advice on a lot of things. I hope the eldest lady will not drive her out."

"I believe in the person you chose." Song Xiao smiled.It was beyond her expectation that Qingmo Biezhuang could be changed in this way.

Lin Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "Young masters in Biezhuang, there is one thing I can't figure out. I said that I would give them back their freedom, and I would pay a sum of money to let them go. Six of them were willing to leave, and the other two were willing to leave. People don't want to." It's strange, they don't have any hatred for the eldest lady, but...

"One of the young masters Bai Zhi said..." Lin Ruyan hesitated for a moment, with deep doubts on his face, "Missy has not repaid her life-saving grace, so I will not leave." But even though the young man said so, There was no respect at all on the face, but a touch of sarcasm.And as soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared.

"The other one is Mr. Lorraine. He said that he would do some needlework to supplement the family income. He just hoped that the eldest lady would not drive him out. He is homeless and has already regarded this place as his home..."

Song Xiao's complexion changed slightly.I don't hate Miss Song, didn't she trick them here, is there something hidden?

"Since they regard this place as their family and are willing to contribute to this family, I will naturally treat them well. Tell them that if they want to leave in the future, I will not stop them."

Home... what a beautiful word.Perhaps Qingmo Biezhuang can be remodeled to make the atmosphere of life and home more intense.Here is her second home besides the Song family.

"How much silver do you have in Biezhuang?"

"I only got back 300 taels of silver from Chen Xian. She embezzled thousands of taels, and she gambled away most of them." Lin Ruyan hesitated and said, "Chen Xian's accounting techniques are a bit clever, how much money did he embezzle? , I haven't settled it yet."

Only 300 taels...

Song Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the troubles of keeping accounts in ancient times, she frowned slightly, and said, "Show me the books, and I will teach you a brand new way of keeping accounts."

Inside the study.

Lin Ruyan looked at the account book in front of her, and exclaimed, "Miss, your accounting method is too clever. Did you listen to that expert? Why have I never heard of it!" Such a convenient method, why does the country not use it? Popularity?Moreover, she has managed the family business for many years, and none of the managers she invited had used this method.

"Hehe." Song Xiaoqian smiled, patted his head embarrassedly, and said with a guilty conscience, "A few days ago when I was looking through books at home, I happened to see them. Maybe the book is too remote, so it's not known to people."

After Song Xiao finished speaking, she worried that if Lin Ruyan asked in detail, she should answer like this.Unexpectedly, the people in front of her ignored her at all, and were already immersed in her own thoughts. Her eyes were shining, and she was quickly calculating numbers, leaving Song Xiao completely aside.

Song Xiao shook his head amusedly, this workaholic, does he forget to sleep and eat when he starts working?

She quietly stepped out of the study room, but heard a cold voice not far away, she approached curiously, and looked quietly through the gaps in the leaves outside the yard.

"At the beginning of human beings, the nature is good. The nature is similar, but the habit is far away."

Ke Lixin held the book in one hand, and placed the other casually on the table, tapping with her fingers.His blue hair was bound by a white belt, and his face was much rosier than when we first met.The breeze blew slightly, bringing up the petals of pear blossoms all over the sky, as if caressing his face.His voice is clear and exquisite, like a long stream of clear spring water, flowing slowly in people's hearts.

A young man sat below him, and he repeated it, and the clear and loud voice echoed throughout the courtyard.On the contrary, the young man in brocade clothes propped his head with one hand, his eyelashes were closed like a fan, and there was suspicious saliva at the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Ruyan."

Lin Ruyan woke up suddenly when his name was called by a cold voice.He picked up the book at a loss, pretending to be studying seriously.

"Explain this sentence."

"People..." Lin Ruyan faltered for a long time but couldn't hold back the next meaning. Suddenly there was a chuckle in his ear. He secretly looked up, but saw Song Xiao covering his mouth and smiling at him. He blinked.

With a smile on his face, he threw away the book and ran towards Song Xiao. "Miss, you are here! Come here, let's listen to the class together. Brother Ke is teaching."

Song Xiao was taken aback by Lin Ruyan's enthusiasm, he had already grabbed his sleeves and dragged her to the yard.

Lin Ruyan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.He was sleeping just now, so he didn't know what Brother Ke said.If he can't answer later, Brother Ke will be scolded by his sister again as soon as he sues his sister.I don't know why my sister asked him to study, didn't it mean that a man's lack of talent is virtue.Now that the eldest lady is here, she can be used as a shield.

The young man in the yard saw her standing up, saluted her, and was about to retreat slowly.

It seems that I came at the wrong time.Song Xiao's face blushed with embarrassment, and she said softly, "I'll just come and take a look. You guys continue with the class, and I won't disturb you."

The young man sat back happily after hearing this, and looked at her with affection in his eyes. Song Xiao's eyes jumped, and he took a closer look, this... isn't this Luo Lan...

Ke Lixin looked at her with a calm expression: "Since the eldest lady is here, let's listen together."

"People are kind when they are born, but because of the different learning environment in the process of growing up, there is a difference between good and bad temperament."

Ke Lixin is actually teaching the Three-Character Classic, there are also Three-Character Classics in this world... I don't know how many of them are similar...

"If you don't teach, your sex will change. The way to teach is to be professional. Miss, please explain." Sensing that Song Xiao's expression was in a trance, Ke Lixin asked coldly.

Song Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, and said: "If you don't educate yourself well, your kind nature will deteriorate. In order to keep people from becoming corrupt, the most important way is to educate them wholeheartedly."

Ke Lixin lowered her eyes and said softly: "Miss, this is my answer. I am willing to be a teacher in Qingmo Biezhuang until next year's imperial examination."

Song Xiao was ecstatic, only to hear Ke Lixin say again: "Miss, would you mind other people attending the class together?"

"No, how could it be?" Song Xiao smiled, "I won't put on airs of a young lady, let's all listen to the class together, feel free."

Seeing that Lin Ruyan was about to sneak away, Song Xiao caught him and said with a smile, "Xiaoyan, be good, study hard, so you can help your sister in the future."

"Can you help Miss?" Lin Ruyan's eyes sparkled.

"Of course!" Song Xiao patted his head and said with a smile, "I'm short of talents here!"

"Okay, Ruyan will definitely study hard and repay the eldest lady." Lin Ruyan blushed and tugged at her sleeve awkwardly.

"Miss, you are here." Lin Ruyan approached quickly and apologized, "It's all my fault that I forgot the time when I delved into it. Let's have a meal. I don't know the taste of the eldest lady, so I made a little at random."
