Chapter 159: The Truth
At this moment, I really want to make it clear, Shen Moyun, as the steward of the Shen Mansion, not only did not ask Fu Wang to come to the shopkeeper's three taels of gold, but instead converted it into cash and put it into the account, and tried every means to exchange the loss of the mansion at the cost of not wanting future kickbacks and benefits.
You must know that it is the unspoken rule of every household that the steward takes advantage and takes back the deductions! Otherwise, who would still be working hard to find ways to climb up to that place? Could it be that it is really for the sake of the monthly example of the extra copper plates that are produced every month? Just like the treasury, the steward of the purchasing room is recognized as the most abundant land for oil and water, and every time the deputy steward is filled, a large number of people will rush to give benefits and find connections! Not to mention the chief steward of this whole big house!
For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Shen Moyun with a little more respect and admiration!
Even the Lu family couldn't help but re-examine the granddaughter standing in front of him again.
I saw that she held her head high, and she was noble, and although she didn't like it, she didn't like it, but in the end, it was different and extremely real! Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh, and pulled his thoughts back to the big push in front of him that caused people to have a headache and a headache:
Where do these moldy walnuts come from? According to the regulations, the warehouse must be sorted out every month, why didn't I know that there were so many dried fruits that had deteriorated before? The government has to purchase dried fruits many times a year, and it is not the rainy season at the moment, how can fresh dried fruits be mildewed? Also, these useless dried fruits are all from Zhou Shengji, but it is clear that the government spends a lot of money to purchase them from Zhou Shengji every time, and this kind of third-class walnuts are never used in the house, so how can it also appear?......
These questions, as long as the girl with a little brainpower can't help but haunt her heart. A few girls who couldn't hold their breath began to bite their ears one after another!
Lu Shi frowned even more, her head had already begun to ache faintly! Where did she still need to investigate at this moment, as long as her heart turned a little, she knew that these goods were only made by her eldest daughter Shen Ling, and every time the house was restocked, as long as there were a few defective products. You can make some difference in price......
She suddenly thought of the eldest granddaughter's words just now that she asked her not to pursue the matter, it seems that this granddaughter is really trying to save the face of the Shen Mansion and her relatives, after all, she is too anxious. Listening to the two who didn't give up, it was abrupt!
"Yun'er! Good boy, come to your grandmother's side! Shopkeeper, I blame you for your mistake today! Your goods are very good, I have accepted them all! Come and settle the account with this shopkeeper of Fu Wanglai! Remember to settle the account with this shopkeeper for an extra five taels of silver, and it will be out of my account!"
The old lady has made up her mind to settle the matter! The onlookers couldn't help but feel disappointed, obviously there are still many problems in this place that have not been dealt with! Today's drama is so exciting, the peak circuit has turned several times, and there is still a small **, I don't want to end it in such a hurry, it is really unsatisfying!
"Wait a minute!" Shen Moqing came out again to make a mistake, "This shopkeeper, Miss Ben still has a problem that I don't understand!" Shen Moqing was triumphant, thinking that she had caught another loophole. But he missed the old lady's dissatisfaction, and he didn't find Mama Jin's despair.
Mama Jin finally looked forward to the best result of the old lady's end and maintaining her face, although the stupid second lady had not yet spoken, she subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.
"Second Miss, but it's okay to say!"
"Hmph, this shopkeeper, if you have not colluded with the eldest lady in my house, I may ask you, how dare you give those three taels of gold? Aren't you afraid that my eldest sister will not accept your gold, but will be disgusted with your goods? Besides, since your goods are cheap and fresh, they are delicious. Why are you so unconfident that you want to give gold? You are not afraid of losing your old capital?"
"Haha! The second girl is really meticulous!" The shopkeeper was already unhappy because of Mama Jin's slander of his dried fruits before, coupled with Mama Jin's original use of him...... At this time, if he doesn't fall into the well, is he really a saint?
Thereupon. The shopkeeper walked up to Mama Jin as he spoke, "Yo! Seeing Mama trembling like chaff, what are you afraid of?" Mama Jin was even more flustered when he said this, and couldn't help but sit on the ground again.
However, the shopkeeper smiled. Instead, he did not pursue Mama Kim.
He walked up to the old lady, but his voice was like a bell, and his sonorous words poured into the ears of everyone present: "Old lady, you don't spend less money to buy dried fruits in Shen Mansion every year, right? Why is the price of dried fruits in his Zhou Shengji two percent more expensive than my Fuwanglai, but the taste is still average? I have already inquired about this matter! Because ...... Zhou Shengji has to honor the steward of your Shen Mansion every year with a lot of silver taels! To tell you the truth, I Fuwanglai was actually selected to deliver samples this year, and I was surprised for several days in my heart. Because we also know that notifying us to hand over the samples is just a formality, in fact, it is just a formality to accompany Zhou Shengji! However, I have always been enterprising, thinking that since the steward of the Shen Mansion loves money, I might as well give it a try. So, I prepared ten golden peanuts and offered them! Speaking of which, I, a businessman, have to praise the eldest lady, always put the interests of your Shen Mansion first, and always put the interests of the Shen Mansion first! It is the blessing of the old lady to have such a person as a housekeeper!"
Saying that, the shopkeeper intersected his gaze with the silent clouds, and the two tacitly cast their admiring glances at each other, but they didn't expect that this time it was really a happy cooperation!
Is that really the case? Of course not!
After Shen Moyun received two samples, the shopkeeper of Fu Wanglai was too enthusiastic, too abnormal, the price was so low and he was so generous, knowing that his shop had no hope, he also gave three taels of gold, if it weren't for the lack of heart and eyes of this Fu Wanglai, there would be a big problem. But the shopkeeper of Zhou Shengji was just the opposite, overconfident and cold, and it was too abnormal to not only not pat herself on the back but also look like she was caught in the face of her old patron's newly appointed manager! She basically judged at that time that she was afraid that the gold was bait used to lure herself into the bait.
So, she pretended to accept the gold, and in the afternoon, she asked Huixin to go to the account room and secretly put the gold into the account. Yesterday, after she started housekeeping, the people around her ran back and forth to the account room seven or eight times, and Mama Jin was grounded, but this matter was not discovered as she expected, and it was not spread.
Then, Hui Xin went to Fuwang again, and explained that if the shopkeeper cooperated with Shen Moyun today, all the dried fruits of the Shen Mansion would be taken from him Fuwang in the next three years!
For this shopkeeper, this is tantamount to pie falling from the sky!
Originally, he received fifty taels of silver and three taels of golden peanuts from Mama Jin, just to come to the door to perform a scene to accompany the prince to study, and then prepare some times to lure Shen Moyun to take the bait, in order to frame the other party for accepting bribes. But at this moment, he didn't expect that the other side had already seen through this plan, and even offered a temptation that he couldn't refuse; plus in the past year or two, no matter how affordable and delicious his shop was, many big families in Beicheng seemed to recognize Zhou Shengji, and they refused to give themselves a chance at all. He Fu Wanglai has always been depressed by that Zhou Shengji, so he wants to make a beautiful turnaround, and spit out the turbid breath in his chest.
Therefore, with this kind of opportunity, not only would he not refuse, but he even wanted to win more than Shen Moyun!
So, today, he not only brought his best goods according to Shen Moyun's request, but also sharpened his tongue, ready to sweep away the haze, and raised his eyebrows fiercely!
And Shen Moyun's side, after everything was prepared yesterday, there was still the new manager of the warehouse, Mother Zhou, who came over. It turned out that after the new steward took over the warehouse yesterday, in order to make room for the newly arrived dried fruits today, as soon as he cleaned up, he actually packed up five packages of moldy and spoiled dried fruits, and came to find Shen Moyun.
This is God going to pull the eldest aunt and Zhou Shengji into the water, and Shen Moyun will certainly not give up such an opportunity.
So, this morning, as soon as she entered the courtyard of the storehouse, she told the shopkeeper of Fu Wanglai about it. As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he reacted that he could still step on Zhou Shengji, and immediately bargained with Shen Moyun in front of his mother-in-law.
After the deal was negotiated, Shen Moyun instructed those mothers-in-law to quietly put these bags of bad fruits not far from the dried fruits that were being unloaded. So, when Mama Jin checked the goods, with the help of the shopkeeper, she "succeeded" in finding these bags of inferior defective products. However, at that time, how did Mama Jin know that the shopkeeper of Fu Wanglai had rebelled, and she was full of thought that these defective products were props specially brought by Fu Wanglai for play!
It's a pity that by the time Mama Jin found out that something was wrong, it was too late! This shrewd shopkeeper of Fu Wanglai not only took out his own high-quality goods, but also successfully pulled Zhou Shengji and his aunt and grandmother into the water. As for the fifty taels of silver that he took out, three taels of gold were naturally lost.
She can't admit that the gold was taken out by herself, in order to frame Shen Moyun, the eldest lady, right?
Therefore, this dumb loss, she can only swallow it herself!
Finally, seeing that the old lady was ready to calm down in order to take care of her aunt's face, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. But I didn't expect that this stupid second lady actually jumped out again! Mama Jin knew that this time, the other party would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely bring the eldest aunt and grandmother in, as for herself, she could only pray that God would give her some luck!
She thought that her plan was perfect! She just really didn't expect that this eldest lady, a young girl, would have the ability to do what she could, lure the snake out of the hole, and plan against it, bite back, and calculate little by little, without any loopholes......
She could vaguely feel that this eldest lady would not stop today, and the real target was herself! Her back couldn't help but be dripping with cold sweat, and she could only look up at this eldest lady pitifully...... (To be continued.) )
