Acai's Sky

Chapter 660: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

When Mr. Tong San heard that his daughter actually thought of preparing famine relief bricks for the clan, he was slightly stunned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This was completely beyond his expectations. After all, his daughter usually focused on her own interests and trivial matters, and it was rare for her to care so much about her family.

He slowly put his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly in the study.

Every step seemed to be filled with thought and emotion, and my mind kept thinking back to my daughter's action.

The more he thought about it, the happier he felt, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Third Master Tong thought to himself, "If I hadn't handed over the affairs of the clan to others early on, I'm afraid our precious daughter wouldn't have the heart to consider the clan!"

Thinking of this, his already happy mood became even brighter.

Then, he turned his head happily, his eyes fell on Aunt Gu standing beside him, and said with a smile: "No problem, since our Yao'er has this idea, no matter what she wants to do, I will fully support her!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Gu hurriedly bowed respectfully to Master Tong San, then turned and hurried away, heading towards Qingxue Pavilion.

……

At this moment in the study, Tong Yan was extremely excited about this matter. He was spinning around in the room as if he was standing on a Hot Wheels.

As time went by, his emotions became more and more excited. Finally, he could no longer contain his excitement and sat down at the desk.

He quickly picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and couldn't wait to start writing a letter to his father who was far away in the capital.

The words in the letter were written in a flamboyant style, just like his excited mood at the moment.

In the letter, Tong Yan described in detail everything that had happened recently in the Tong family's old house.

He knew very well that even if he did not describe the details, those people in his family who were specially arranged by his father to look after him would have already rushed to pass the news to the capital.

However, although I feel a little annoyed about it, I can't do anything about it.

After some consideration, Tong Yan decided to highlight in the letter his little girl's amazing act - thinking about the clan members and preparing grain and bricks for the famine.

With words full of admiration and pride, he described in detail how his little granddaughter was extremely intelligent, far-sighted, and caring for the tribe members.

After writing this, he nodded with satisfaction, believing that when his father received this letter, he would be pleased and proud of his grandchildren's outstanding performance.

In the future, a batch of grain bricks will be replaced every ten years, and the fields in which these grain bricks can be used are simply countless.

Taking advantage of the good weather and good harvest, the Tong family should prepare for a rainy day and make sufficient reserves early.

Tong Yan smiled contentedly as he gazed at the letter he had just written, thinking to himself:

"Dad's going on a long trip this time. I'll take this letter home with me and brag about it to everyone! Our daughter is so accomplished! She's really brought honor to us and to Dad!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

...

At the same time, Nanny Gu hurried back to Qingxue Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw his young lady sitting at the desk, working hard, and writing big characters with great effort.

I saw that the paper was covered with dense handwriting, and it was obvious that the young lady had been working hard on it for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Gu quickly turned around and walked to the side. She carefully selected some fresh and delicious fruits from the fruit plate and placed them carefully on the desk. She said softly, "Miss, please take a rest for a while and eat some fruit to moisten your throat!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ah Cai slowly put down the brush she was holding tightly in her hand, then reached out to take the cloth towel handed to her by Ginkgo, carefully wiped the ink stains on her hands, and then happily took the fruit brought by Aunt Gu and tasted it with relish.

After a brief pause, she moved to the edge of the couch and sat down. She looked straight at Aunt Gu and asked impatiently, "Aunt, please tell me what my father's response was. Was he particularly surprised? Was it completely beyond his expectations? Was it exciting enough?"

Faced with her young lady's barrage of questions, Nanny Gu was stunned at first, and then showed a helpless expression.

He replied grumpily, "Oh, young lady! The master is more than just surprised, he's ecstatic! In my opinion, from now on, all the complicated and trivial affairs of the family will be handed over to you!"

However, Ah Cai didn't care about these words at all. She just waved her hand nonchalantly and responded nonchalantly:

"Oh~ Ma'am, you're worrying too much! We have several experienced maids in our house. With their help, I'm not afraid that those things will be difficult to handle!" After saying that, she winked at Ma'am Gu playfully.

Nanny Gu respectfully handed Ah Cai the account book she had carefully compiled and said softly, "Miss, this is the account book for our old house. Please take a look. I will call the pawnbrokers later to deal with all those traitors."

After Ah Cai took the account book, she began to read it carefully.

As she read, she couldn't help but click her tongue and exclaimed, "Tsk, tsk, it actually says here that you can buy an egg for fifty coins! Could it be that all the chickens he raises are raised on medicinal herbs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she burst out laughing.

Then, Ah Cai tapped the account book lightly with her fingers, a look of surprise on her face, and muttered, "Look who is so bold as to write down the price of a chicken as ten taels of silver! My God, this price is really outrageous."

Then, as if she remembered something, she continued to mutter softly: "Even in "Dream of the Red Chamber", I guess the prices are not so expensive. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, but compared to the eggs eaten by the Qing Dynasty emperors, they may still be a little inferior..."

When Ginkgo, who was standing by, heard that an egg was sold for fifty cents, she became so angry that her face turned red and she stamped her feet anxiously.

He shouted loudly: "Oh! What kind of thing is this! Our Tong family's wealth didn't fall from the sky out of thin air, how can we allow these people to squander it like this!"

At this time, Acai had finished reading the entire account book. She slowly closed the account book and turned to look at Nanny Gu.

She ordered in a serious tone, "Madam Gu, I'll leave this matter to you to handle properly. Also, remember to bring our storehouse steward with you to carefully check the contents of the storehouse. Especially pay attention, we brought back many precious items from the capital as gifts from the emperor, and we must not lose or miss anything!"
