Chapter 234 The Porridge Shack (1)
Chen Xiao did not go out for three consecutive days. He was reading the account book in the study. Although no one taught him, gradually, he had a different idea from the beginning to now being able to see the tricks.
On the fourth day, Chen Xiao asked a few accountants to call and asked about some unclear places on the accounts. The accountants knew that the fourth young master had read it in detail and had also seen the trick.
After checking all accounts clearly, the manager of the outer court sent a long New Year gift list. Chen Xiao finally finished the New Year gift, and Xiang Bo came over to ask about the porridge.
Every year in the twelfth lunar month, the royal family and nobles would dress up porridge, and each family had a porridge shed. In November of the past year, respected elders would invite women from various prefectures to discuss the porridge. The Yongguo Duke's Mansion had not been the mistress in these years, and the prince Chen Yuan would ask the supervisor to take the message.
Now Chen Yuan is gone. The elders may think that Chen Xiao is too young, so they did not send a post to the Duke of Yongguo Mansion. Xiang Bo was old and could not be fully prepared. No one invited him, so he forgot about the porridge shed. It was not until the snow these days that he heard that someone was frozen to death outside the city, and he also heard that a beggar was extremely hungry yesterday and ran to the porridge shed in the porridge shed in the eldest princess's mansion to drink porridge, but he actually died of death. Xiang Bo then remembered the matter of opening the porridge shed.
It would have been fine if the Duke of Yongguo never participated in this matter. The porridge shed was opened every year, but the fourth prince came back, and the porridge shed would not be opened. When it was reported that people outside would not believe that the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion had really forgotten it, and would only think that the fourth prince was Liang Bo.
In the cold weather, Xiang Bo was sweating profusely. He was really old. He actually forgot such an important thing.
Chen Xiao has not gone out for several days and stayed in the mansion to process the feed. He was very busy and was about to go out for some breath when he saw Xiang Bo hurried in. When he entered the door, he accidentally stepped on Jie Jie'er's tail. Jie Jie screamed and jumped into Chen Xiao's arms.
Chen Xiao comforted Sister Zhi'er, looked at Xiang Bo, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Bo hurriedly talked about opening the porridge shed, and Chen Xiao asked, "When my father and elder brother were there, did the porridge shed be opened every year in the mansion?"
Xiang Bo said: "Only one year, the palace will open a porridge shed to let each government produce silver and rice, and there is no single porridge shed in the mansion, our mansion will open every year."
"Since that's the case, we'll continue to open this year, but it's too late now, and I don't know if there is any place." Chen Xiao said.
"If you have it, you will definitely have it. The places where the porridge sheds are all drawn out from Shuntian Mansion. Each of the prefectures has its own place. Our mansion has not opened this year, so that the place will be empty. I will make arrangements now. Alas, it's all my fault. If I hadn't heard that the porridge shed in the princess's mansion had been killed, I wouldn't have remembered this yet." Xiang Bo said blamingly, and bowed and prepared to go out.
"Wait," Chen Xiao called Xiangbo and asked, "You said the porridge shed in the eldest princess's mansion was so full of people? When did you know the specific situation?"
Xiang Bo hurriedly said, "This is what happened yesterday. I also heard from the people in our mansion who went out to buy. It is said that he was a beggar, and he might be very hungry. After drinking a few bowls of porridge in one breath, he was overwhelmed to death."

I have been suffocated, and I haven’t remembered this yet.” Xiang Bo said blamingly, and then prepared to go out after bowing.
