Chapter 155: Gold
As soon as she heard the old lady ask about the dried fruit samples, before Shen Moyun could speak, the newly appointed warehouse steward took two boxes and knelt down, "Here, here the slave maid! Yesterday, the eldest lady instructed the slave maid that today, when the 'Fu Wanglai' delivers the goods, they should be compared according to the same size, color, taste, and quality...... However, there really aren't any golden peanuts in it!"
Lu stepped forward to take the box, opened it, flipped through it, and threw the box at Shen Moyun's feet.
"Miss, now that it's over, don't be tough! Hurry up and recruit it!" Mama Jin persuaded bitterly.
"That's it, eldest sister, the evidence is conclusive at this moment, is it possible, do you want your grandmother to send someone to search your room?" Shen Mo Qingbian said, and stretched out her embroidered shoes to kick in the pile of dried fruits scattered all over the ground, "There is really no gold!"
"Grandmother, my granddaughter is very curious, so I asked more, what should I do if my granddaughter is found to have embezzled and cheated and stolen kickbacks today?" Shen Moyun was not afraid at all, but asked calmly.
The old lady thought that her granddaughter had the heart to bow her head, and wanted to confess but was afraid of heavy punishment, so she pretended to be calm and asked many times. Lu was proud in his heart, but he didn't want to give his granddaughter too easily.
"If you are an ordinary steward, you should be beaten with thirty boards, thrown out of the door, and never used! If there are family members in the house, you should also be sent together, and then you will not be hired! But since you are my Miss Shen family, naturally you can't be expelled from the door lightly, but your position as a housekeeper must be withdrawn, and ...... Originally, I was supposed to send you to the village to reflect for a period of time, but since you can take the initiative to admit it, grandmother will temporarily reduce the punishment, and punish you for half a year, and copy the scriptures in the Qionghua Monastery for ten days, by the way, ...... quietly" The old lady said, paused for a moment and added: "It will be executed from tomorrow!"
Shen Moyun couldn't help but sneer again, he even wanted to send himself to Zhuang again? And from tomorrow to execute? Why don't you start the execution now? It's not that I'm afraid that if I can't go to the Chen family in the afternoon, it will ruin the Shen family's big business!
"Today's matter, you all shut up for me, the eldest lady just doesn't understand housekeeping matters. I accepted the gold in a daze, and there was a misunderstanding, and I watched your mouths, if I found out who dared to discuss this matter in private. Spread the word out of the house, and I will not only tear your mouths apart, but I will also sell you one by one!
As soon as the lively maid heard this warning, she immediately lowered her head and said in unison.
"And this treasurer, if you dare to spread the word about today's events. I'm afraid you'll have to eat a few days in prison! I believe that my Shen family still has this ability!"
"Yes, yes!"
Yes, the old lady still wants to sell herself for a good price, and if this matter gets out at this moment, I am afraid that she will have to make a big difference! Even if the eldest princess really has that kind of meaning to herself, it is impossible to marry a daughter-in-law who is greedy for money and snobbish and has unclean hands and feet to go back! At that time, the dream of these elders to rely on the eldest princess in the past two days will be shattered! Mama Jin also expected that the old lady would have such scruples, so she cooperated with Shen Moqing and yelled early, making this matter so that everyone could know about it!
"Someone. Let's send the eldest lady back to Ronghui Hall first!"
"Wait!" Shen Moyun directly interrupted the Lu clan and said in a loud voice: "Grandmother, grandmother, you have heard wrong! Just now, the granddaughter just asked you how to deal with this matter if it was true, but it does not mean that the granddaughter will admit it! The granddaughter still said the same thing, I Shen Moyun did not take the gold! Everyone present also heard it clearly to me, the eldest lady did not take a penny, a tael of silver or gold from this shopkeeper!"
At this moment, Shen Moyun's eyes were cold, his voice was calm, his face was calm, and his body exuded a cold and powerful aura. For a while, everyone was stunned!
She didn't give the others a chance to interject, but just yelled at the gate of the courtyard: "What about the account keeper Mother He?
The silver taels in the account room should have been prepared a long time ago, and it only takes a hundred steps to rush over. These are the monkey spirits who are in charge one by one. In this case, if you don't call her out in person, I'm afraid that the steward will hide in the crowd and become invisible!
"Here, the slave has just arrived!" After a breath or two, Mother He squeezed out from behind.
"Sister, this time everyone has stolen money, the evidence is conclusive, why do you still call the account mother? You really have to spend money to buy this kind of goods?" Shen Moqing unceremoniously grabbed two more walnuts from the sack and threw them over.
Shen Moyun dodged lightly, but he still didn't even look at Shen Moqing. Seeing that the Lu family was about to get angry, Shen Moyun opened his lips lightly: "Grandmother, don't be impatient! For those ten golden peanuts, I think Mother He has something to say!"
"Oh?" How could the account mother have something to do with the golden peanut, in fact, at this moment, not only the old lady, but even Mama Jin and Shen Moqing couldn't help but glance at each other, and they didn't know why, so they had to look at Mother He who was nodding her head.
"Yes, yes! The slave maid has something to say! The ten golden peanuts were brought by the lady Huixin beside the eldest lady yesterday afternoon and put them into the treasury, counting thirty taels of silver, and they were already in the account yesterday!"
As soon as Mother He said, she presented the account book of these days, and turned to the page yesterday: On the twenty-second day of the lunar calendar, at the time of Shen Zheng, three taels of gold (gold peanuts) were converted into thirty taels of silver and put into storage. Then, he took out a money bag from his bosom, poured it out and saw that it was the golden ten red gold peanuts.
What? Shen Moyun didn't even take these three taels of gold? On the contrary, he had already sent the gold to the treasury and entered it into the book? This time, not only Mama Jin and Shen Moqing, but even the old lady was stunned! They really couldn't believe that this Shen family actually had a vegetarian who didn't bite the fat meat sent to his mouth, and this Shen family actually had a clean person who put the kickback into the public middle school account!
"Ridiculous!" Shen Moqing's mind turned quickly this time, and she immediately scolded: "Mother He? The eldest lady wants you to come and settle a fruit account with this Fu Wanglai's shopkeeper, and it is enough for you to bring the account book and silver taels, and what are you doing with this golden peanut? Isn't this an extra move? Grandmother, I see that my mother-in-law is obviously acting with my eldest sister! I'm afraid that this mother-in-law is the eldest sister's person at all! Seeing that the pickled thing that the eldest sister did was discovered, she came to the rescue!"
Mama Jin also reacted when she heard this, and hurriedly helped: "That's it! You see that this account book only writes thirty taels of money, but it doesn't even understand the person who enters the account and the name of the account, what is the reason? I'm afraid that this mother-in-law is in a relationship with the eldest lady, and she heard the wind and came to excuse the eldest lady, right?"
