There were also other expensive items like furs, jewelry, spices, etc. Feng Lan didn't recognize most of them, but that didn't stop her from knowing they were good things, so she took some away.
Finally, he was satisfied and used the prop [Camphor Leaves] again and left Xie's house.
Today is a great harvest.
Chapter 103 [Feudal Dynasty] 21
As the head of the Xie family's mistress, Qinggu gets up at 5:30 every morning.
First, he washed and tidied himself in his own small room. After having breakfast in the small kitchen, he went to the eldest lady's room around six o'clock to see if the lady was awake. If she was awake, he helped her get up and change clothes, and match her hairstyle and clothes for the day, and put on makeup.
In this way, it was almost eight o'clock, and the food was ready in the small kitchen in the lady's room. Qinggu would serve the lady breakfast.
Today's dish is red bean and barley porridge. Because the weather is hot and my wife has a poor appetite, we also serve it with a few refreshing side dishes. An ice jar is also placed in the corner of the room.
After dinner, Qinggu would help the lady walk around the yard to help digest the food, and then she would start to deal with the account books in the mansion.
Early in the morning, Qing Gu saw the housekeeper running in in a panic and in a disheveled manner, with big beads of sweat dripping down his chubby white face. She didn't know whether it was because of the sudden intense exercise or some emotion.
"You're so flustered, what's wrong? What if you disturb the lady?"
Qinggu scolded in a low voice, but the manager didn't care. With trembling lips, he told Qinggu the bad news.
"Auntie, the warehouse, the warehouse was stolen!"
"what?!"
Qing Gu clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her legs felt weak, and she supported herself on the pillar with her hands, staring at the housekeeper with sharp eyes, "What did you say?"
Qing Gu thought about all the people in the city who had been robbed over the years. Although some of the culprits were found, the stolen items were never recovered! The people who were robbed before were just some low-class merchants. How could they dare to steal from the master this time!
Qing Gu thought about the things in the storeroom. Not only the Master and the Madam, but also the monthly gifts for several young men and women. In a few days, it would be the birthdays of several young ladies. There were also newly bought materials and jewelry sets worth thousands of taels...
"Everything was stolen! All the warehouses, all the warehouses were stolen!"
The manager had a bitter face and his fat body was shaking.
Qing Gu was so shocked that she no longer remembered how she told the lady the bad news, and how the lady forced herself to go to the warehouse. After seeing the empty warehouse, not only did the lady feel breathless and almost faint, but even Qing Gu wanted to faint. She comforted herself and also comforted the lady.
"Madam, it's not okay for you to make the decision on such an important matter. Madam, hold on. Even though things in the house have been stolen, the truly valuable things are all outside the house!"
"The most urgent thing is to report it to the police and get the stolen goods back before the thieves sell them!"
Most of the shop deeds, gold and silver are in the farms in the suburbs. After all, the thieves who steal things in the capital are extremely rampant.
Qing Gu had finally managed to calm the lady who looked several years older that morning, when the servants in the mansion came to report that someone had come from the farm in the suburbs, looking anxious, as if something big had happened.
Qing Gu had a bad feeling in her heart. When she waited for people to come up, there were still mud spots on her legs. It was obvious that she had discovered the situation and immediately rushed over from the suburbs. She was covered with dew and mud in the early morning, and because the city gate was not open, she waited for a long time.
"Madam, when we took inventory this morning, all the money in the farm was gone! It was stolen!"
Qing Gu's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and looked at the lady who had finally caught her breath. The moment she heard the double bad news, she could no longer bear the blow. She rolled her eyes and slid down from her seat.
"lady!"
"lady!"
"Madam has fainted!"
