The wind and the moon

Another day, after Song Yinsheng had breakfast, the housekeeper Chai Er came over and said, "My lord, the two opera singers who were kicked out by the lord earlier, this morning, the second lord brought them back to the Yinshuixuan."

Song Yinsheng heard that, although he was a little annoyed, he was helpless after all, and then thought of Meng Yuxuan's entrustment, briefly, and said: "Go and tell him, just tell him how many people there are in the garden, how much you harvest every month, how much you let go, and how much you eat. How much, how much to drink, how much to receive, are counted: the prince does not need to count; he is the same as the third son, the monthly silver is 30 taels, food and drink is 30 taels, and clothing is 15 taels; The eldest lady and the second lady are the same, the monthly silver is 25 taels, the food and drink are 20 taels, and the clothes are 15 taels; me and Mrs. Mei are the same, the monthly silver is 25 taels, and the food and drink are [-] taels. [-] taels, ten taels for clothes. Mr. Mo, who just arrived just now, is the same as us, so he took another part from the monthly rent and salary. If you don't believe me, you might as well take the account book to him and ask him to have a look! He wants to bring people in, unless the prince orders, otherwise, not only will he have no money, but he will not even have food, drink and clothing. The kitchen is not ready for them No food or tea is given to them, and they don't even think about lighting lamps at night and getting some oil candles."

Seeing Song Yinsheng like this, Chai Er hurriedly responded.

Song Yinsheng knew that once Chai Er said this, Meng Yushuang would definitely come to his Taxue Pavilion, so he dug out the ledger and sat at the table to wait for him.Sure enough, without a stick of incense, Meng Yushuang arrived in a hurry, and immediately said: "I don't know, is this Xiyuan your family's or mine?"

Song Yinsheng looked at him and said: "You don't have to be ashamed, I didn't force you to drive those two people out. It's just that the expenses of those two people can't be put in the account."

"Why not?" Meng Yu asked angrily.

Song Yinsheng asked back: "Chai Steward settled the account for you?"

Meng Yushuang was taken aback for a moment, thinking of what Chai Er said just now when he turned over the accounts, he felt dizzy and didn't listen carefully to the reasoning, as it was not clear.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Yinsheng said again: "I think you must not be clear." After speaking, Song Yinsheng took out the account book, opened it, and said, "In the past few years, you have eaten and drank well. It’s easy to use, easy to wear, and there was a big shortfall in the kitchen and warehouse. Fortunately, Yu Zhi used her monthly silver and saved expenses to fill in some for you. Otherwise, the word Meng Yushuang on the account would have already circled a few times Ten Zhu characters. Now, you still have to bring in two irrelevant people, let's see, where can you squeeze out money?" After finishing speaking, Song Yinsheng threw the account book in front of him.

Meng Yushuang sneered, and didn't go to look at it, just said: "Hmph, don't try to trick me! There is such a big garden, so many servants, and there are land rents, salaries, and money from the palace. Where is it?" If you can't run it, you can't just raise two more mouths? What a joke!"

"Tell me, what kind of run method?" Song Yinsheng also sneered and asked.

"You take care of the garden, you have your own way!"

"If there is a way, there is a way, that is, take money from the second son's monthly silver, and give it to the kitchen, warehouse, and accountant, so that the two of them can live comfortably!"

"Why!" Meng Yushuang was anxious, jumped up and said.

"Because they are serving you, Second Young Master Meng!"

"By the way, that Mo Yun is obviously an outsider, why does he still need to receive the month? Cancel his month and give them room and board, that's all!"

"His moon silver was hand-picked by the prince. If you want to change it, just talk to the prince!"

"Stop pressing me with my elder brother!" Seeing him like this, Meng Yushuang was even more annoyed, and simply said, "If I say I'm going to charge, I'm going to go!"

"The account is with me, and the money is also with me. I'm afraid that what the second son said may not be useful!" Song Yinsheng was also annoyed, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, ignoring him.

Meng Yushuang was very angry when he saw him against him like this, and cursed: "It's just an outsider living in my house, but he is showing off his power in front of me! What is it!" Immediately grabbed a teacup on the table, saw water in the cup, Then he splashed hard towards Song Yinsheng, followed by the teacup falling out, smashing to the ground with a loud crash.

Song Yinsheng was poured over, and even though he was going to have an attack, he finally held back, just clenched his fists and stood there.The maids Yun Yan and Yun Luo outside heard the movement and rushed in. Seeing that Song Yinsheng's hair was wet and still dripping water, they rushed over to help him wipe it off. "Forget it." Song Yinsheng pushed the two away, turned around, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Although my Song family is not comparable to the palace of the king, it is also a wealthy merchant, so it is not enough to live here. If the prince can't find it A proper person manages Xiyuan, please ask me, I don't want to stay here!"

"You don't want to? That's good! I'm afraid you won't want to part with the fine clothes and fine food here!"

Seeing that the situation was beyond her control and persuasion, Yunyan immediately whispered twice in Yunluo's ear, and Yunluo understood and hurried away.

"You say I'm reluctant, but I'm willing." Song Yinsheng suddenly remembered that all these years, he lived in the garden, suffered from hard work, missed his parents, had many quarrels with Meng Yushuang, and humiliated him several times. It was really unbearable, so I said it when I thought about it, and then I went back to the room and packed my bags.

Seeing that Song Yinsheng was about to leave, Yun Yan immediately went in to stop him, while holding his arm, she begged: "My lord can't, my lord can't! If you have anything to say, just talk about it, if you get angry, what will we do when the lord comes back! "

"Yun Yan, come out quickly, don't stop him!" Meng Yushuang yelled at Yun Yan when she saw that she was in the way.

Yun Yan saw that Song Yinsheng could not be persuaded, but was stopped by Meng Yushuang, feeling anxious and confused, she turned and ran to the door to see if Yunluo had come back.

Seeing this scene, Meng Yushuang smiled secretly, suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Take only your own things, don't touch our Meng family's!"

Seeing him, Song Yinsheng said, he simply threw the package in his arms on the ground, went out of the room, took off the picture of bamboo in the outer room, rolled it up in his arms, and went.

"Where is your son going?" Seeing Song Yinsheng about to leave in a hurry, Yun Yan immediately stopped him and said.

Song Yinsheng still ignored her, and just walked on his own, Yunyan grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Even if you have any grievances, my son, I will only wait for the prince to come back!"

"I can't wait!" Song Yinsheng shouted, pulling Yun Yan away.

Yun Yan had never seen Song Yinsheng so annoyed before, but she was also afraid, and immediately plopped, knelt on the ground, and said, "I have served the young master for so many years, please listen to my advice!" As she spoke, she shed tears Come.

Song Yinsheng was taken aback for a moment, then stopped.

"My lord, my lord is the most reasonable person in the garden, so why go there just because of a momentary quarrel? Even if we don't care about us maids and slaves, we must think about the entrustment of the prince, think about the eldest lady, the third lord, these people My love for you!" Yun Yan said, her tears turned into rain.

At this time, Yunluo came, and there was another person behind him, it was Meng Yuzhi.Meng Yuzhi heard Yun Ruo's description on the road, and now seeing the situation of the two of them again, she knew that the matter was indeed bigger than before, so she hurried over, got involved with Yun Yan herself, and said, "Cousin, what's the matter?" As for this? Wouldn’t it be a joke to tell the maids and servants outside to see it? Come back with me quickly!”

Song Yinsheng sighed, quietly raised his head and looked up at the sky.Meng Yushuang also came to the door when she heard Meng Yuzhi's voice.

Seeing him, Meng Yuzhi sighed, and said, "Yu Shuang, you're fine, you're just staying in your room, why bother to make trouble again? I don't know what nonsense you said again? Why don't you talk to your cousin quickly?" Plead guilty?"

Meng Yushuang snorted, and said, "I plead guilty? He has been trying to keep me from being comfortable all day long, even bringing two actors in, he has to suffer from his face, and he has to plead guilty to him for judgment! I I don’t even know who I am and who he is!”

"What should I do? It's because of the two actors who hurt the brotherhood. It's really not worth it! If you insist on keeping them, please ask your cousin. Maybe I can turn around and help you keep them! Otherwise, even if You are keeping them now, and when Big Brother comes back, you still have to drive them out!"

Seeing Meng Yuzhi like this, Song Yinsheng wanted to say something, but Meng Yuzhi took his hand and shook his head.

When Meng Yushuang heard that Meng Yuzhi was willing to keep the two of them, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Elder Sister, can you really convince Eldest Brother?"

"You just need to apologize to your cousin!"

Meng Yushuang knew that Meng Yuzhi would not lie to him, but it was very embarrassing for him to apologize to Song Yinsheng, so he immediately "hummed", turned his back, and did not speak.After a long while, Meng Yushuang thought that if Song Yinsheng really went, he might have to bear the consequences. Not only would the two of them not be able to stay, but he would also have to learn a lesson. He might still have to come back when the time came. of!Thinking of this verse, he said "yes", then turned to Song Yinsheng, bowed and said, "Cousin, I made a mistake in a hurry, don't be angry, just treat me as an asshole!"

Song Yinsheng understood that he was not sincere, but the matter was already like this, but it was hard to care about it, so he just nodded.

"My cousin is working hard day and night to take care of the garden. It takes a lot of effort. There are many things in the garden, such as the master's servants, food, and food. If there is no one who takes care of it properly, the world will be in chaos. Besides, my cousin is a man. Fair and rigorous, everyone in the garden has always been convinced, it must be your big mistake, my cousin doesn't want to let it go, if it's even a little bit wrong, my cousin can let you go, and naturally, my cousin is the big brother I personally went to my uncle’s house to invite you, and I lived in the garden longer than you. What qualifications do you have, and you asked your cousin to go? If there is another time, I will definitely tell my mother and take you back to the palace first. You go now!" Meng Yuzhi explained the truth again, fearing that there would be no side effects, so she hurriedly told Meng Yushuang to go.

Meng Yushuang knew that the two opera singers would definitely stay this time, so she went there contentedly.Seeing this, Yun Yan and Yun Luo knew that Song Yinsheng couldn't go, so they also let out a long breath.

Meng Yuzhi took Song Yinsheng's hand into the room, smiled helplessly, and said, "You know what he's doing, so why bother to be angry with him?" Then she helped him to sit, and brought the water herself.

Song Yinsheng took it, thinking about what she said just now, he was very comforted in his heart, smiled lightly, and said: "It's not out of anger, it may be a year or two in the short term, and it may be three or five years in the long term, and I still want to go. Here, after all, I have nothing to ask for, but I want to live up to my cousin's entrustment. It is still small to take care of the garden, but it is big to take care of my cousins. Yushuang is like me today, I really feel that I have no face, and I feel that I am incompetent, even though I try my best, I can't discipline Yu Shuang well, what else can I do if I stay here?"

Hearing Song Yinsheng's words, Meng Yuzhi immediately understood, nodded, and said, "But Yuqi was taught very well by you, and she made great progress. If you really went, wouldn't you indulge Yuqi again?"

Song Yinsheng nodded, feeling that what he did just now was really lacking in refinement, so he felt a bit of remorse and shame, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Meng Yuzhi knew that he had completely lost his mind. Although her face was happy, she said in her heart: Cousin, cousin, you really went, what should I do?
