The princess is reborn

Chapter 6

He started playing the zither. "Ye Xi, the daughter of the Yan family, gives the wedding list,Ten boxes of clothes all year round in the Heavenly Weaving Hall, ten boxes of furskin, twelve boxes of various styles of silk and satin, twelve boxes of silk and satin, fifty pairs of gold, silver, jade, earrings, fifty ornaments, fifty flower ornaments, fifty wrist necklaces, twelve Ruyis, twenty jade pendants..."

After reciting the long list of gifts for a full fifteen minutes, her mouth and tongue became a little dry from playing the zither. Yan Yexi handed her a cup of warm tea in a timely manner, indicating for the handwriting to start reading.

" Yongxu is on the eighth day of April 3rd year. He received the Ling Family's Canon of Wealth from the Weaving Hall to make clothes for four seasons. He wrote down a total of 1,200 taels of silver, and the amount of silver is not enough. If he ransoms it within 3 months from now on, then it will be an item that cannot be ransomed. The items should be sold. Yongxu is on the 9th day of April 3rd year, ..." The old man Ling's heart sank as he read the books one by one.

How did this girl know that he had used her dowry as a pledge? How did she get it? Did she also get the deed that he had mortgaged to Lei Laohu?

Yan Yexi looked at the old man's face, which was sometimes green and sometimes pale. She waved her hand to stop the book, and took out a piece of paper from the sleeve,"Is this something your father-in-law is thinking about?"

As expected, it was the deed. Ling Family's wealth immediately collapsed on the ground as if it had been struck by lightning.

"What a coincidence! I got this one!"

Yan Yexi took out the title deed from the tube again, and the old man directly frothed at the mouth and fainted.

"As you can see, now I have the house leases and land deeds of the Ling Family. From now on, I am the master of this family. If you still think there are other masters, then I will ask them to pay for them. In the next few days, I will issue new family rules and servant rules. Whoever doesn't follow the rules, he or she will leave immediately. If someone dares to play tricks behind me, he or she will end up like this. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen carefully!" The answer was like thunder. They were not blind. The two axes were still flashing in the pile of wood, and everyone wanted to leave a good impression in front of the new master. Only those who bullied Yan Yexi and his servant that day felt uneasy.

"Well, let's go to work and leave the accountant."

The birds and animals immediately dispersed, leaving only three middle-aged men with pointed mouths and monkey cheeks looking around in the hall. They were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.

"Go to play the zither and book. You and Sir, move all the accounts of these years to my place. I want to 'go 'good' to settle accounts." The cold words were like a gust of cold wind. The legs of the three slightly timid accountants were going to fall to the ground, and the other two dragged him hard, but the cold sweat on their foreheads were flowing like a river.

She then went to the bookkeeping room after she was done with playing the piano and writing. Yan Yexi, along with Siqi and Zhiwei, did not even glance at the Ling Family's Fux lying on the ground. Instead, they returned to the Book of Thoughts as if a gust of wind had blew past them.

###Chapter6,Seizing a Caughty

They asked the young male servants to carry several boxes of account books into the Intent Garden, and then the five of them began to calculate each of them.

At noon, she played the zither and called a little girl to the kitchen to serve the meal. The five people took a break during the meal.

"I'm really impressed. It's a talent for them to lose so much money." Zhiwei's mouth was full of rice, and she was going to make a speech. Recently, they had been taken by Yan Yexi to eat together, and there was no difference between the superior and the inferior.

"Those bookkeepers aren't easy to deal with. Now that they're halfway in the accounts, they've already made tens of thousands of taels of silver." She was busily arranging Yan Yexi's food. Recently, she was gradually showing the vitality that a fifteen-year-old girl should have.

"I guess they've already fled, haven't they? Taking in so much money is enough for them to live the rest of their lives. Run to the accountant, and if those guys run away, put up the notice saying that these people escaped with funds. As for the money, just write a hundred thousand taels. It's said that anyone who finds these three people can be sent to the official on their own. There's no need to write anything else." Yan Yexi showed her signature evil smile, and the drawing immediately understood what she meant. She cheered, lifted her dress and ran out without eating.

They looked at each other and secretly stuck out their tongues. "What a good move. Miss, you're ruthless."

After lunch, the four of them started to settle their debts again. They went back to the painting and shouted for the young lady's accurate calculations. She was still not full. When the painting was done, they ate two more bowls of noodles. The five of them then started working together. They only finished counting the boxes of account books when the golden crow fell from the sky and the jade rabbit just rose.

"Too cruel. After a whole day, the Ling Family actually only had this house and this piece of land left, which were all ransomed by Miss. All of the lands and shops were spent on gambling. Ah ah ah, it's so annoying!" Si Go was waving his sore arm, with a face full of grievances.

"Miss, how did you get the money to redeem this deeds?" Getting the Qin, he handed a cup of tea to Yan Yexi, and only then did he think of this question.

Yan Yexi smiled mischievously and also stood up to stretch her muscles. After a long while, she said, "When second brother came to see me that day, he said that he and his brothers had prepared a dowry in the secret compartment of my dressing box. I went to take a look and saw ten notes worth ten thousand taels of silver and a deed of land."

"Then the deeds for the house and land wouldn't be the Ling Family's..." The run-on book and the painting kept the account book and just happened to hear the second half of Yan Yexi's sentence.

Yan Yexi smiled and nodded her head. "You're smart. Second Brother said that with silver and land deeds, I would be able to establish my foothold in the Ling Family and not be bullied anymore."

"If you don't bully others, that's Amitabha." Zhiwei made a funny face and took Si Goyi to the kitchen to find food.

Yan Yexi shook her head helplessly. These girls were becoming more and more impudent. It was a pity that she was used to this. Who could she blame?

"Then how did you get the ticket for the store?" asked the girl as she handed the new account book to the Qin player.

"Isn't that simple? The store belongs to Fourth Brother. When they received Old Ling's signature, they knew that it was our Yan family that informed Fourth Brother. Yesterday, I went to the store and they gave me all the receipts. Tomorrow, they also wanted to bring my dowry back to me. I say, are you the attendants of our Yan family? How come you don't know what our Young Master's business is?"

...

He was speechless while playing the piano and book.

After dinner, Yan Yexi thought of the remaining activities tonight and quickly called the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting to the study room to assign tasks.

Just after midnight, Li Hua and Chen An couldn't wait to knock on the back door of the Ling Family.

The door creaked open, revealing Zhihua's pretty face. She made a noise, opened the door a little bigger, and let Li Hua and Chen An in.

Zhihua led the way without saying a word. Li Hua and Chen An couldn't wait to see the figure of Zhihua boat, but they wanted to carry it out secretly. This family looked like a big family, but it was so familiar. Where had they seen it before? They couldn't help but wonder where they were.

"Young Master, our Lady is waiting inside." As they were thinking hard, the voice of Huang Ying, who knew the painting, rang in their ears. The two of them immediately felt limp. They almost forgot who they were, so they did not remember what they were thinking just now.

Zhihua knocked on the door, and the books opened from inside, welcoming Li Hua and Chen An.

"Young masters, you are really punctual." Yan Ye Xi dressed like an Indian woman today. She wore a pinkish green veil that covered most of her face, but a small part of her waist was exposed, which made Li Hua and Chen An's mouth become like a river.

Both of them stared blankly at Yan Yexi's waist. They did not even know where they were sitting.

"Young Noble, this is the indenture contract of my four little girls. However, because I really like them, I want to ask for a hundred gold." Yan Yexi's nasally voice was terrifying, but Li Hua and Chen An were startled by the sum of one hundred gold each.

"One, one hundred pounds of gold? Do you think these four girls are all beautiful? It doesn't take me a hundred pounds of gold to be a courtesan in the Piaoxiang Courtyard." Chen An, who was the smaller one, jumped up.

Under the veil, Yan Ye Xi looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. The people at the side who knew that their young miss's expression meant that someone was about to suffer, so they turned around and snickered.

"Sir, you didn't even spend a hundred Gold coins to be a courtesan in the Floating Fragrance Courtyard or whatever. You can only say that the courtesan isn't worth the money. My four maidservants used to be courtesans, but they were blessed with life and were forced to become maids due to my parents' trouble. Their prices are already several levels higher than the courtesans you mentioned, aren't they? Furthermore, my four maidservants are prettier and smarter than one of them. Back when I was in the capital, even the prince was reluctant to agree to marry them and take them as his wife, so I treated them all as my sisters. If it wasn't for you two being on my side, I wouldn't have wanted to sell them. To be honest, my four maidservants are still virgins. I've rejected all of my husband's attempts to get married."

When he heard the music and the book, he was so ashamed that his neck turned red. The two fiendish women looked at the two beautiful women's shy faces in a daze, and their nosebleeds were going to spurt out more than a few times.

"Young masters, how are you thinking?" Yan Yexi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. At the same time, she signaled Li Hua and Chen An with her eyes, and the two of them immediately poured tea for them.

Li Hua and Chen An took the opportunity to touch the zither and book while they were holding a cup. The smooth and soft feeling made them pour a big cup of tea to suppress their desire.
