Holding back her anger, she flipped through an account book from beginning to end, and closed it with a sneer.

"Master, do you want to use the seal?" Shilan, who was waiting for the pen and ink on the side, cautiously peeked at Erfu's face and whispered.

When Erfu heard this, he sneered twice and said in a deep voice: "With the seal?

Tomorrow, I will use the seal in front of the housekeepers and grandmothers of all the houses in the house, so that they can relax and be happy.

Okay, you can pack up these account books first, and send a message to Bai Jiao of Xuancai Fang in a while, and ask her to arrange for twenty bookkeepers to come over tomorrow morning, I want to let twenty bookkeepers jointly check the accounts, so that these housekeepers are insatiable, I want to see how much silver I have lost this month!"

After saying this, she slapped her hands heavily on the bookcase in front of her, and stood up with a bang.

She didn't want to stay in the study for a moment, lest she be angry at the books.

At the same time, she doesn't understand, why don't these people know how to be grateful, obviously she has set aside a line of gray areas everywhere, enough for each of them to have a good gray income, although it is not a lot of money, but they can also eat a full stomach, but how can these people be insatiable and have to force themselves to be angry......

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out......

Could it be that the charm of this money is so great that they don't even care about the future of their lives?

Erfu raised his head a little dazedly, raised his hand to greet Qinglan, and asked with a little confusion: "If I hand over the private treasury of my courtyard to you now, and a large amount of gold and silver is placed in front of you, do you hope to keep this errand forever, or do you want to make a lot of money?"

"Master, the slave doesn't understand. Qinglan replied softly with some trepidation.

"I just can't understand why this housekeeper doesn't want to run errands, and she wants to be greedy for ink, and I want to ask you what you think, and I don't mean anything else. Hearing this, Erfu smiled lightly, she saw Qinglan's apprehension and uneasiness, and explained softly.

Qinglan was a little relieved, and replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't understand other people's thoughts, but if it is a slave and maid, the slave and maid should try to keep this decent errand, because the slave and maid know that the master is generous, no matter what, he will not treat his subordinates badly, the slave and the maid do not covet ink, and the master will also reward a decent person. ”

Although Qinglan's words were a little vague, Erfu still understood the metaphor in Qinglan's words, she was silent for a moment, nodded with a smile and said: "You are a smart girl, so I will say this to you, and when you get married, I will also give you a decent share." ”

After saying that, she had already returned to the hall in good spirits.

It turned out that she had never put her position right, and she was no longer a side Fujin who was cowering in a quiet corner of the West Courtyard, as long as she took care of the thirty or fifty palace maids in front of her.

And now she is the master of the fourth master's mansion, all the servants in this mansion are under her command, aside from the few servants who have their own masters behind them, she must show enough sincerity to other servants, let these people know that she is a good master who is generous and generous, then these people will return the same sincerity.

To achieve this, a strong example is needed.

After all, the power of example is endless.

With the first person to eat crabs, and taste that rare delicacy, it is natural that there will be a great feast for future generations, and her immediate task now is to select a qualified role model, to be loyal and abide by her duty, and she will give a reward that is enough to make many people envious, so that everyone in the house understands that dedication is rewarded.

Is there such a qualified role model in Nafu......

The forest is big, what kind of bird can be used, there are more than 200 servants up and down the house in the fourth master's mansion, and there are more than 20 people in the housekeeper, there will always be honest people who abide by their duties, but the role model can't be the kind of inconspicuous little people, and that can't lead people to emulate, so if you want to set an example this time, you have to choose one from these housekeepers.

Erfu's preferred candidate is Mama Qin, one of the best housekeepers in the house.

Mama Qin is in charge of the big key of the treasury of Gongzhong, up to the gold, silver and jade, down to the silk cloth, but everything that can be used in the house, everything needs to go through her hands, and her subordinates are in charge of all the purchases in the house, even if she doesn't eat and take the card, there are many people who want to please her behind her back and take the initiative to stuff benefits into her hands, but this Mama Qin has always been iron-faced and selfless, and she is serious and impartial to people and things, but she is a typical example that is very suitable to be set as an example.

In fact, Erfu's understanding is not comprehensive, after all, people are not sages, who can be completely selfless.

She didn't want to find a perfect person comparable to a sage, as long as she could get by on the big picture, so Mama Qin met her requirements very well, so she quickly made up her mind and sent someone over to invite Mama Qin, planning to discuss the specific details of setting an example with Mama Qin.

Of course, the so-called consultation is a more polite way of saying it.

She already had an idea in her heart, to call Mama Qin over, that is, to ventilate Mama Qin first.

To deal with Mama Qin, who is a housekeeper with real power, some small benefits can't make them control the heart that fills their own pockets, so what she wants to give Mama Qin this time is a big gift.

A small courtyard located outside the front door, a standard courtyard house, the structure of the front store and the back residence, worth more than a thousand gold, whether it is to operate and take care of it by itself, or to rent out to collect rent, it is a very good choice, and it is enough for these housekeepers who are used to seeing good things to itch in their hearts.

After a short while, Mama Qin left the trivial matters at hand and came to the main courtyard hall.

As soon as Erfu said this idea of herself, Mama Qin hurriedly excused herself and said, "The slave doesn't dare to be ashamed. ”

"Oh?" Erfu asked with some curiosity, "Why did Mama Qin refuse this benefit of being delivered to the door?"

Mama Qin rubbed her hands a little embarrassed, was silent for two or three breaths, and finally said her own embarrassment, that is, she was worried that other people would be jealous and expose her black history hidden in the shadows, this is what Erfu said, no one is perfect, who can have no shortcomings, no black history, Mama Qin is worried that the benefits will not be in her hands for a few days, but she will lose the beauty and fat difference in her hands now.

Erfu was not surprised by this, she smiled and waved her hand, and reassured: "Mama Qin, you don't have to worry about these things.

I think you are a smart person, you should understand the reason why I gave you this generous gift, it is nothing more than one point, that is, I hope that the housekeepers and grandmothers in the house can have expectations in their hearts and better restrain their own greed, so even if someone will come to me to sue you in the future, as long as it is not particularly excessive, I will not take it to heart.

Of course, you can also be one step ahead of others, confess yourself, and talk about some of your past mistakes. ”

After speaking, she glanced at Shilan, who was waiting beside her, and motioned for Shilan to move the embroidery pier to Mama Qin, so that Mama Qin could sit down and answer, after all, Mama Qin is also almost fifty years old, and letting a person of this age stand and talk to herself who is sitting, she is still under a lot of pressure in her heart.

Mama Qin sat down nervously, a little hesitant, a little melancholy, but also a little secretly happy.

Some hesitation is hesitation to confess his past black history to Erf.

Some melancholy is melancholy, but it is not obvious that it is indisputable, how did it fall into the eyes of Erfu, the concubine Fujin.

Some secretly happy, naturally secretly happy that I have worked hard for so many years, and finally survived the appreciation of Erfu, the master.

Complex emotions such as these lingered in her heart, and in the end, Mama Qin decided to be completely loyal.

She believes in her own vision, and she also believes that she can get over the hurdle in front of her, and she believes that Erfu is not the kind of master who turns his face and denies people, so she just was silent for a few breaths, and then made up her mind, first honestly explain some of her past black history.

For example, before she became a housekeeper, she also secretly stuffed red envelopes for the housekeepers to please her.

For example, when she first became a housekeeper, she was also honored by the people below.

For example, after she became a housekeeper, she also used her gray income to secretly buy some properties outside.

For example, after she became the housekeeper, other masters in the house also wooed herself.

......

Mama Qin said this, and she said enough time for a cup of tea, the more she said, the more she had no confidence, the more she said the lower her voice, in the end, she didn't dare to look up at Erfu's face, sure enough, she was a little overestimated by her own conduct and ethics, not to mention that she didn't think she had many shortcomings, so carefully reviewed, only to find that there was a lot of black history, and I don't know if Fujin would regret it in the future, is she considered stealing chickens and rice......

Fortunately, Erf is a very reliable master.

She didn't deliberately pretend to be profound, so that Mama Qin was uneasy, and as soon as Mama Qin's voice fell, she had already given Mama Qin a peace of mind pill, she waved her hand indifferently, her face was full of the word Kuanhe, and said with a smile: " The past, then let it all pass, you don't have to take these things as a burden, after all, you and I both know the situation in the house, if no one is promoted, an ordinary palace maid wants to become a faceless housekeeper, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, as long as you promise not to betray me in the future, then we will treat it as if nothing happened in the past. ”

After speaking, she asked Shilan to bring Mama Qin a cup of tea, so that she could drink a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

After all, saying so many words in one breath, no one can not be thirsty, no one can guarantee that her voice is not hoarse, not to mention that Mama Qin was so nervous that she was about to cry by herself, her face was covered with beads of sweat, if she didn't drink water to replenish the water, Erfu was really worried that she would faint.

Mama Qin got Erfu's assurance, her heart was light, she took the tea bowl, she was not restrained, and hurriedly drank two sips.

"Alright, I'm done with the business, I'll talk to you a little more. Seeing this, the smile on Erfu's face increased a little more, and she motioned for Shilan to take another cup of tea to Mama Qin, and then said softly and casually.

When Mama Qin heard this, she hurriedly responded: "The master has something, just give orders." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to remind you, I'm going to ask the account office to check the accounts tomorrow, and the accounts of all the houses are no exception, the account books of the public treasury you are in charge of, there should be no problem, I don't want to make a fool of myself in public, you know what I mean, right?" Erph took a deep breath and warned in a deep voice.

Mama Qin hurriedly replied: "Regarding the question of accounts, you can rest assured, master, the slave and maid are not so confused. ”

"That's good, I'm going to ask Mr. Bookkeeper to come into the house to check the accounts, now except for you and me and these close palace maids who serve in my room, no one else knows, and I don't want this news to leak out, so you have to keep your mouth shut.

If someone close to you is involved, let's discuss it carefully later, and I will definitely give you this face. Erfu didn't want to interrupt this topic, she pointed to the stack of ledgers on the bookcase in the study through the hollow floor cover and Bogu shelf, and said with a straight face, she didn't want to spoil her good idea of killing chickens and monkeys and cutting grass and eradicating roots because Mama Qin was alone.

Mama Qin is not a person who can't tell the difference, so she hurriedly promised: "Master, don't worry. ”

"Cheng, then you can go back and get busy, I will hand over the big key to the treasury of the public middle school, you have to take this errand to heart, restrain your subordinates, don't let me be embarrassed as a master, and don't let me be disappointed in you. The things that should be said have been said, and Erfu didn't plan to stay in Mama Qin's room longer, so she gave Mama Qin a simple advice, and then gave Mama Qin an eviction order.

Mama Qin is not the kind of person who can't tell her face clearly, and when she saw Erfu say this, she took her leave respectfully.

Erfu sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, smiling and watching Mama Qin's back walk away. Turning his head to look at Shilan and Shiqing and the others, he pouted and said: "You see, you see, this is the Qin Mama I trust with all my heart, even she can carry dozens of acres of fertile land under my back in Hejian Mansion, how much private property has been hidden by these other housekeepers, you dare to think, I am afraid that it is richer than the property of ordinary landlords and squires!"

"Master, this is also the norm.

Although the monthly money issued by our house is not much, but we can receive a lot of rewards, that is, those who do the sweeping rough palace maids, the strong women who carry the sedan chair, and the gardeners who serve the flowers and trees in the greenhouse, and the flowers and trees in the warm house, can also receive dozens or hundreds of big money, if it is placed in the villager's house, it is also a lot of income, not to mention the housekeeper like Mama Qin, the reward is real money, and it is not uncommon to buy some fields and shops outside.

In fact, this is not only the case in our house, but also in all the mansions in Beijing, so you don't have to worry too much, master. Hearing this, Qinglan looked up at Erf's already somewhat ugly face, and hurriedly explained in a low voice.
