Twenty-first
Let's not talk about how frightened Shi Fei'er was when she held the new account book. Just said that Mrs. Wang had been dismissed for more than a month, and she couldn't sit still. It coincides with the cooler weather, and the season has entered autumn. The Xue family in Jinling sent chrysanthemums from Xingong this year for the house to enjoy. Shi Fei'er sighed in her heart that there are many things to do in this family, and even the ancients have many rules, even this flower and green plant is paid attention to every season or even every month, and she has to keep sending flowers to the house all year round. Because this chrysanthemum was given by the Xue family, Mrs. Wang's face was a little happy, and she hurriedly selected the best one to offer to Jia's mother to show her filial piety.
Shi Fei'er naturally didn't have Mother Jia's love for flowers, but after all, people sent it, and they couldn't return it, so they had to accept it. Originally, Shi Fei'er didn't look at the account book, but she didn't think anything about it, but this time she read the account book, Shi Fei'er looked at these flowers again, where were the flowers in her eyes, obviously the pots were planted with a bunch of white flowers and silver, and she often looked at it and was distracted. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang thought that Jia's mother liked it very much, and felt that she had face again, so she often came to Jia's mother's place to walk around. Shi Fei'er doesn't care, anyway, what kind of person Mrs. Wang is, she knows it well, if she thinks that she was bought by a few pots of flowers, it would be too funny. Besides, if he doesn't speak, then Imperial Doctor Yuan will continue to give our second wife a good diagnosis and treatment.
Mrs. Wang often walks around in front of Jia's mother, and she asks for nothing else, just because she was angry and said she was sick before, and resigned from the housekeeper's business, thinking that in a few days, Jia's mother would definitely be able to redeem herself. After all, the elderly are in charge of the ledger all day long, which is tiring and cumbersome, and it is very boring. Mrs. Wang knows that this Jia mother is most annoyed by these mundane things on weekdays, and she has not been directly in charge of the house for many years, and the eldest lady only took a brief look at the end of the year when she was in charge of the house, and she let her work so hard for a while, and it will not be long before she will find a reason to let herself take care of the house again. Who would have thought that this time it was really a miscalculation.
After a few days of illness, he saw that Jia's mother had not allowed herself to return to power. Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still, and privately asked someone to investigate, but found that this time Jia Mu not only did not feel trivial and boring, but was quite concerned about this matter. Mrs. Wang comforted herself, but Jia Mu had not been in charge for a long time, and it was just a few days of freshness. After another two days, seeing that Jia's mother was still conscientious, she felt a little uneasy. After a few days of hard work, Mrs. Wang said that her illness had recovered, and she hurriedly came to Jia's mother to order something, wanting to pick up her errand again. Jia's mother not only did not answer her words, but said that she worked too weekdays, and when she fell ill, she should recuperate well, and she should not worry about family matters, and specially invited the doctor to come for a follow-up. It's just that the imperial doctor just said that he worked too hard, and he became ill from overwork, and he should recuperate for some time, otherwise it would affect his heirs and so on. When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was even more anxious and afraid, counting the days, this eldest lady is about to give birth, after this birth, according to the current development, it will not be long before Mother Jia will let this Mrs. Zhang take charge of the family again. At that time, the big room and the first house will be in the main hall, and Mrs. Zhang will be in charge of the house, who will put a second room wife in their eyes. At this time, Mrs. Wang was a little annoyed that she was too reckless in what she did at the beginning, and it was originally a sharp weapon for herself, but she let herself throw it away so easily, which really shouldn't be. So Mrs. Wang had no choice but to be diligent every day, hoping that Jia's mother would remember her good in the past and let herself be in charge again.
It's a pity that Shi Fei'er already knew Wang's thoughts, and she was worried about how to make the second wife willingly hand over the housekeeping rights. But in the final analysis, I still have to thank this Mrs. Wang for pretending to be sick this time, otherwise how can I know the current economic situation of this Jia Mansion.
Although this Jiafu family has a big business, the cost is even more powerful. Think about it, too, where don't you spend money on the top and bottom, inside and out? What you can see and what you can't see is a fee. What's more, there is also a group of vampire minions who are full of selfish pockets and deceitful from their superiors. The account book she copied for Egret was only for three months' expenses in her room, but this time it was no longer a running account, but a collection and payment accounting method in the current double-entry bookkeeping. This collection and payment bookkeeping is exquisite: there must be payment if there is receipt, and the receipt and payment must be equal. But the account books handed back by the egret are not flat, not that the egret is careless, but that some of the accounts are problematic from the root. It is not obvious to do a flow account, but it is obvious to do double-entry bookkeeping. And the biggest advantage of double-entry bookkeeping is that it can reflect the ins and outs of the funds, so at a glance, it is clear where the money from Jiafu went.
This egret is also a careful person, probably because of this account, he saw a little way, so he made a general account out of his own way, so that it was even clearer, which item was spent and how much was clear. The more Shi Fei'er looked at it, the more angry she became, no wonder this Jia Mansion fell so quickly, let alone Yin eating grain, even if Yin ate Chen's grain, it was inevitable. The master of the mansion didn't know that he was thrifty, and he didn't mention it first, and the people thought about all kinds of magic drill camps, which also opened Shi Fei'er's eyes. Take Jia Mu's small kitchen as an example, the cost of spending on eggs a month is one hundred taels of silver. Shi Fei'er really wanted to see if the chicken that laid the eggs was a golden rooster eating ginseng.
Shi Fei'er remembered that Grandma Liu got twenty taels of silver when she first entered Jiafu, which was enough for their family to live a good life for a year. Although this one hundred taels is not a large number for Jiafu, it is definitely enough to build a house with eggs just for buying eggs. If it goes on like this, I can't complain that Wang Xifeng was later led by Mrs. Wang to make some money.
These subordinates are indeed quite bold, and the means of greedy money are naturally getting higher and higher, and there are more and more tricks. Shi Feier compared the two account books and found that there were many such things. Whether it is Mrs. Wang in charge of the house, or Mrs. Zhang, who she thought was good before, she was also deceived. Shi Fei'er didn't think it was strange, this young lady raised in a big family must be like this, the door has never been out, where would she know the true price of this firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. It's just that the next person bought it, reported the account, and knew it himself. But did the subordinate falsely report the price or said too much quantity, and no one supervised it, and this big housekeeper is greedy in the first place, who are you going to check. Besides, these two wives are not selfish, and they don't believe it, and if they want to make another profit from it, it will be nowhere to check. In this way, Shi Fei'er felt that the current family was not as good as herself, even if she wanted to hand it over to the Zhang family in the future, she had to talk to her well.
Shi Fei'er remembered that she had asked the old lady of the Lin family to pick up Jia Min more to come out and walk around, scatter her mind, and don't always be bored at home. Thinking that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, he asked someone to invite Jia Min to enjoy the chrysanthemums, firstly, this chrysanthemum is really good, and secondly, it is also to comfort her for the loneliness that she can't be by her mother's side during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her husband is not beside her.
Jia Min came happily after receiving the post, at this time the fetus was more than three months old, but it was stable, and Mrs. Lin was also happy to let Jia Min come out and walk around. Mrs. Wang can play with the chrysanthemums that she never thought of taking to offer flattery, but the old lady invited Jia Min to appreciate, hoping to win the old lady's favor with this, who would have thought that the joy was not bo, but added a belly of fire to herself.
Shi Fei'er and Jia Min admired the flowers for a while, Jia Min took out a brocade box and handed it to Jia's mother, and asked, "Mother, let's see if it's okay." Shi Fei'er opened the box, and inside was the engraved jade and gold lock. Shi Fei'er looked at it carefully and nodded, and put the things away. It just so happened that Jia Hule came to Jia's mother in a hurry, and asked Jia's mother to tell a story to herself. Shi Fei'er said one, Jia Hu felt that it was not enjoyable to hear it, and asked Jia Mu to talk about it again. Shi Fei'er responded with a smile, but asked him to play by himself for a while and eat snacks before talking, Jia Hu Suri was very well-behaved, and went to play by himself after responding. It happened that Mrs. Zhang was very bored in the house, thinking that Jia Hu had not returned for half a day, and she should be begging to listen to the story at Jia's mother's side, so she brought over the snacks that Jia's mother and Jia Hu liked on weekdays.
The eldest lady hasn't seen Jia Min for a long time, and the two have been close for a long time, and this time Jia Min and herself are pregnant together, and there are many things to say. Shi Fei'er saw that the two were chatting happily, and it was rare for her to be idle, so she also let them go. After eating two pieces of snacks, I remembered that Jia Hu had been out to play for a long time, and I didn't know where he was now, but this child liked to fish on weekdays, and eight out of ten went to the lake to fish again. Thinking of this, Shi Fei'er got up, and planned to look for it and tell the story to the child, otherwise I don't know how long the child will haunt herself when he comes back. Besides, Jia Min and Mrs. Zhang are similar in age and talk, and they are both pregnant women, so they can communicate more, and they are more comfortable when their elders are not there.
Out of his house, to the garden, halfway to the road, suddenly a little maid hurriedly ran to him, perhaps because he ran too fast, he saw that Jia's mother didn't have time to stop, if it wasn't for the maid next to him, he grabbed it, and almost knocked Shi Fei'er down.
Shi Fei'er was shocked in her heart, although there were many people in Jiafu, the rules of her gestures were still quite strict, and she had never seen such a panic. Hongxuan, the big girl next to Jia's mother, pulled the little girl back. Seeing this, the egret was busy supporting Jia's mother, and at the same time wanted to scold the little maid for being unruly. But when the little maid saw that she was colliding with Jia's mother, she knelt at Jia's mother's feet and cried: "Old lady, old lady, Brother Hu has fallen into the water." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Shi Fei'er grabbed the little girl's wrist and asked sharply, "What? What did you say?"
The little maid was held by Shi Fei'er, crying and crying: "Brother Hu has fallen into the water, now, now I'm afraid I'm out of breath!"
Shi Fei'er hurriedly dragged the little maid directly from the ground, shook off the maid Egret who was holding her, and said, "Take me quickly, quickly!" After speaking, she pulled her feet forward, and the little maid was pulled by Shi Fei'er crying and crying, and was busy leading the way.
At this time, Shi Fei'er was anxious, secretly praying, don't have an accident, don't have an accident, I can't wait for my current body to be ten or twenty years younger, and run to the accident site in a few steps.
Shi Fei'er and his entourage hurried to the lake, and saw a group of maids kneeling on the ground and crying, Brother Hu's nurse hugged Jia Hu and cried bitterly, and when she saw Jia's mother arrive, she cried even more, crying and kneeling a few steps and saying, "Old lady, old lady ......"
At this time, Shi Fei'er didn't have the heart to listen to these people again, so she ran to her in a few steps, pulled Jia Hu's nurse away, and held the person in her arms. Shi Fei'er didn't care much, and hurriedly put the person flat and knelt on the ground. Reaching out to Jia Hu's neck, the pulse seemed to be out of reach.
