Chapter 259: Questioning the Stewardship's Ability
Wang Xifeng couldn't care about being angry with him at this time, and she was also very worried.
Last time, I didn't get the mandarin duck according to the old man's instructions, I thought that with the old man's ability, I didn't want to escape from the old lady's hands for a few lifetimes, and I leaned on the old lady, and I didn't want the big man to grab the handle.
Who knew that this filial old man, who had been cowardly for most of his life, would be shameless with hob meat, and he forcibly gnawed off a piece of meat from the old lady and the Lai family.
Now, I don't know if this old man suddenly called them over, and I don't know if it was for the purpose of settling accounts after the autumn.
With the same apprehension, the two came to the courtyard of Jia Yu in the East Compound, and saw Jia Yu and Chen sitting upright, Jia Lian still felt that it was okay, after all, he didn't come to ask for peace very much, Wang Xifeng was very surprised.
Last time it was still here, the two were still in the same position, and then they got into trouble and tore their faces, this still happened in front of her, and this time they will be reconciled again?
"My son greets the old lady!"
"Daughter-in-law greets the old lady!"
The top did not speak, and the two of them kept this posture of salutation, and did not move.
Because it was homely, the two did not make a big salute, Jia Lian was better, but when she bent over, Wang Xifeng did bend her knees, but as everyone knows, half-bending knees is actually more strenuous than kneeling, and after a while, her feet trembled.
Jia Yu looked at Wang Xifeng's pale face, his body trembled, and let out a fierce breath, just let the two of them get up, and said to Jia Lian,
"Lian'er, self-cultivation governs the country and the world, the more you have this official outside, the better, but do you know that your backyard is about to catch fire!"
Jia Lian didn't believe what Jia Yu said, and he didn't know which one Jia Yu listened to, so he said that his back house was on fire, but he really found a fire, and it was also tossed out by his old man!
Jia Yu saw that he didn't care, and threw the account book that Chen still gave him in his face, and saw that Jia Lian was in a hurry to take the account book, and said,
"Take a look for yourself, you still have to work as an errand in the household department, and your own family accounts are not clear, and they are still the accounts of the imperial court, so let's take a look for yourself!"
Jia Lian took the account book and took a closer look, the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and after reading less than half of it, he slapped Wang Xifeng with his hand and scolded,
"You black-hearted slut, who called you this vicious way of stealing people's money!!"
Wang Xifeng was slapped by Jia Lian and looked confused, she didn't know what was going on, not to mention Jia Lian, even her parents didn't touch a finger of her!
Jia Lian said and threw the account book over, Wang Xifeng took it and took a look, this is not an account book, just a count of her profits one by one, not only how much money is owed by which family, how much is repaid, and even some people can't pay back the money, and the consequences of selling their children and daughters.
Wang Xifeng's heart was cold, this was much clearer than she remembered, and the thought of a figure hiding behind the scenes, staring at her every move, Wang Xifeng shuddered, which made her think of the person behind the scenes who made their husband and wife discord a few years ago.
How many years have passed, and I thought that the person behind the scenes had stopped, who knew that she was waiting for her here, at this time, Wang Xifeng didn't care about explaining, and just wanted to dig out the person behind the scenes, and asked anxiously,
"Who made this ledger?"
Jia Lian didn't have time to care about this, and scolded, "I don't care who made this ledger, I just ask you, is this true!"
Wang Xifeng completely ignored Jia Lian's questioning, and looked straight at Jia Yu, his face was pale and haggard under the original heavy makeup, and he couldn't hide it anymore, revealing a sense of madness.
Jia Yu was so embarrassed by her that he couldn't help but look at Chen on the side, Chen's face changed slightly, and he scolded secretly, useless things, Dao.
"This is sent by the old lady next door. ”
It's not bad, although the matter is what Chen is staring at, but she is an inner housewoman, where can she investigate the things outside, this is also begged by Jia Jing, and Jia Jing helped investigate.
"Respect the old lady, Jia Jing?" Wang Xifeng couldn't wait to grit the root of his teeth.
This Jia Jing is separated from her by a mansion, a generation, and a difference between men and women, except for the idea of kinship, there is no communication at all, but he is so ruthless that he will ruin her life!
Jia Yu was also blinded, he didn't expect that Brother Jing would actually participate in his family affairs, but considering Jia Jing's favoritism towards him before, thinking that he had no omissions, maybe this was also one of Brother Jing's plans?
Only Jia Lian heard that Jia Jing was involved, and suddenly his mind cleared up a lot, he has never been able to see through this uncle, but his two career take-offs are inseparable from him.
At first, if it weren't for Jia Jing's mention, after he sent Daiyu to Huaiyang, he might have indulged in the glamorous shadow of Jiangnan, where would he get the attention of Aunt Lin, so that he knew Jinshang, who was only a prince at the beginning, and then had the first step of real power and official position.
In addition, there is also the new bookkeeping method, he did not give his own son and two grandchildren, but gave him this cousin who was separated from the room, thus pushing him from the official department to the household department.
No matter what kind of ideas he thinks about participating in his own family affairs, but just his name is enough to make Jia Lian pay attention to three points, not to mention, he has been in the real power yamen for a long time, so he naturally knows that this money and silver are fine if they are nothing, if there is something, it is a sharp sword pointed directly at the throat!
Jia Lian completely ignored Wang Xifeng's crazy stubbornness, didn't know what she was afraid of, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes, and asked,
"Wang Xifeng, what have you done with the position of housekeeper! What has a good family become by you!"
Suddenly, Wang Xifeng became even more crazy and scolded,
"Are you willing to take care of this house? Do you know that there is not a penny of spare money in the account, and it is all supported by tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall!
Do you know that all the valuable shops have been sold, the rent on the Zhuangzi has risen to five cents, and the family is still eating grain, and my dowry has been invested!
Are you willing to do this thing of retribution? You only know how to spend money from the public, if I don't use this means of profit, how can you all be so nourished!"
No wonder Wang Xifeng is so crazy, she and Jia Lian have long been out of harmony as husband and wife, and because of the problem of heirs, they have always been stubborn in their hearts, Wang Xifeng is a strong person, no matter how wronged she is, she can only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, and now only this right can soothe her heart.
As long as others praise her housekeeper for her ability, she will be more relaxed, like poison, she was also a little rational at the beginning, and only used her dowry silver for profit, but the more she came later, the more she should not open it, and she could only use the silver in the public to make profits, so it was better.
However, just now on her most capable housekeeper rights, Jia Lian questioned her, and his disdainful and dissatisfied eyes deeply pierced Wang Xifeng's heart, and then they all shook out.
"Nonsense!" Jia Yu roared!
