The old lady agrees with her son's plan, the more dowry a woman has when she goes out, the more face she has in her husband's family, and she also loves Jia Min very much, and she is more concerned about the behavior of these slaves than Jia Daishan has only started in the past ten years, although there were some petty thefts before, but they are not very strict. Therefore, she said to Jia Daishan: "If you want me to say, when such a thing happens, my wife has an unshirkable responsibility, as the saying goes, men are in charge of women outside, I didn't expect her to be so bold in housekeeping for more than ten years, it can be seen that her housekeeping ability is so poor." ”

Jia Daishan also felt the same after listening to his mother's words, and remembered what the wife said when he was in the main courtyard when he was just there, and felt that she was not as good as his mother's housekeeping ability.

It turned out that Jia Daishan suddenly sent Mama Lai's husband and son to see the official, and Mama Lai immediately went to the main courtyard to find his wife to intercede when he got the news. Mama Lai knelt on the ground as soon as she entered, crying bitterly and said, "Madam, help, my family must not offend anyone." Someone actually went to the old man to complain that my family was corrupt and perverted the law, and the master had sent it to the yamen. Wronged, wife, you also know that my family is the most honest, otherwise you wouldn't have married me in the first place. ”

Jia Shishi was very inexplicable when he heard this, and he didn't know what she was talking about, so he said: "You get up first, talk about it well, you have no beginning or end to say this, I don't know what happened." ”

At this time, Mama Lai knew that her wife didn't know anything, and the old man was hiding it from her wife, so she told her what had happened in the house in the past few days to her wife, and then said: "Madam, many of the people who were sent to the official this time and drove away are loyal to you." The slave maid thought that this time the old lady must have done it behind her back, and let the old man do this, so that the eldest grandmother could take care of the house when she entered the door. ”

Jia Shishi was stunned when she heard this, she didn't get any news about such a big thing in the mansion beforehand, the old man and the old lady didn't discuss it with her, and directly sent the people in the mansion, what is the use of her wife. She stabilized her mind and said, "Mama Lai, you go back first, if your family is really wronged, I will tell the master." ”

Before Jia Shishi could tell Jia Daishan, five of the eight big girls in her house came to intercede, because they were killed by their parents and brothers at home, and they were either released from the house or dared to be driven to Zhuangzi. And the strictest is Jade, her father has been sentenced to prison for taking advantage of the power of Rongguo Mansion to help his cousin forcibly occupy other people's fertile land, and her family and she will also be bought by the master.

When Jia Shishi saw that more and more of her people were driven away, she was in a hurry, those people were her henchmen who she had cultivated with great difficulty, if there was no them, then how would she manage this Rongguo Mansion in the future.

On this day, Jia Zheng happened to come back from the academy, and just asked his father to return to the courtyard, and before he changed his clothes, he heard from the little maid that the grandmother was going to be released from the house, and even the grandmother who accompanied him to the academy was going to be released, and he was busy saying: "Who is in charge, is it the wife?"

"It's not the wife, it's the old man and the old lady who are in charge, and the wife also sent a lot of people, saying that they were corrupt and perverted the law, and they were driven out after filling their pockets. The little servant cautiously replied, seeing that so many people were driven out of the house, and many of those people were very embarrassed in front of the master, but now they ended up like that, and he was even more distracted to be on an errand.

When Jia Zheng arrived in his mother's room, he saw him sitting on a chair and crying, and those girls were all around to comfort him, Jia Zheng asked for peace and asked, "What's wrong with my mother?

When Jia Shishi saw her favorite son, she couldn't cry and said: "Your father doesn't know much about it, and he sent the housekeeper to the official well." It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, how big things are not solved in the mansion, and they have to be sent to the official? Isn't this a deliberate joke for our Rongguo Mansion?" After a pause, he said: "This thing will be done, but why don't you inform me in advance, I am also the housekeeper wife of Rongguo Mansion." What do the servants in the house think of me? Your father really doesn't deserve to be part of the Jia family, no matter what, I also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Jia family, which has no credit and hard work. ”

Jia Zheng didn't know how to comfort his mother, and seeing her sad appearance, he said: "Mother, you think too much, don't you know how well your father treats you?

Jia Shishi wiped his tears and said: "Don't say you're there, even I have gone here for most of the people, Min'er's two big girls also went, and Yu'er's was the old lady's □□ row, so she went to a second-class girl." ”

At dinner, Jia Daishan showed Jia Shi and Jia Zheng what he investigated, and he had nothing to say in the face of these mother and son, and they were even more shocked by the bad deeds of those minions. Jia Daishan reprimanded Jia Shi's royal majesty for not being strict and ruining the reputation of the house, and asked her to check the companion room. In the future, she will not be in charge of this Rongguo Mansion, and the old lady will be in charge of everything.

Jia Shi's family was angry with those slaves, and when he heard that the master had taken away his stewardship, he fell ill directly.

After hearing about the Rongguo Mansion, the first person to come to the door was Jia Daihua from the Ning Guo Mansion next door, "Daishan, what's going on in your mansion?

Jia Daishan didn't say anything, just gave Jia Daihua a few pieces of paper. Jia Daihua opened it full of doubts, and after looking at it, he was surprised and asked, "Is this true?"

Jia Daishan understood it very well when he saw this, so he said: "Big brother, I didn't believe it at first, but it's really shocking to find out, Rongguo Mansion is like this, your Ning Guofu also has to check it well, our family can't let the ancestral family business be ruined by these minions." ”

Jia Daihua nodded again and again, and the next day Ning Guofu also began to release the minions.

Emperor Kang Qing was very curious when he heard the news, and left Jia Daishan behind after the next dynasty, and asked, "I heard that you have recently disposed of the minions in your family, how can this be?"

Jia Daishan replied: "The Weichen family accidentally found out that the minions in the family actually stole the things in the house, so they checked it well, but they didn't expect that these minions were bold enough to do illegal things, so they were sent to the official for punishment." ”

"Oh, there are such bold minions. ”

"Yes, if the water is clear, there are no fish, but the water is too turbid and there are no fish. This is the case, and the country is even more so, Weichen is just a national prince, and the slaves in the family are so bold, I'm afraid this royal family will not be too good. Jia Daishan wanted to take the opportunity to tell the sù saint about Jia Yu's discovery.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Weichen, I once heard Xiao'er talk about one thing, saying that this royal family would have counterfeit products. The sage also knows that my son Jia Yu is a must in antiques, calligraphy and painting, and he will definitely not look away. ”

"Did Jia Yu say that there are counterfeits in my inner money?"

"Yes, it's just that how this counterfeit thing got into the inner treasury of the Holy Lord, I want to know a little about the things in the Holy Lord's Mansion. Jia Daishan replied.

Emperor Kang Qing understood that Jia Daishan was not a targetless person, and what he said was true, so he immediately asked the queen to check the internal treasure.

Just before the court, Liang Degui brought all the account books over, and the two little eunuchs followed behind with two stacks of high books, which made the queen's heart tremble.

"How long has this been, why are there so many?"

Liang Degui smiled embarrassedly, the saint did not do this kindly. "Back to the queen's mother, this is the account book of the past three months, and all the details are here. The Holy One said that you should look first, and then wait for the first time. ”

"It's only been three months? wait...... Come on, put all of this there. You go back and tell the sù saint, the palace must look carefully, but so many account books can not be read in a moment and a half, the palace is Kunning Palace, and it will be empty in the next few days. "Originally, I was very happy to hear that the Holy Lord asked her to check the internal affairs, but I didn't expect that there would be so much.

Liang Degui couldn't help but smile and knelt down, it seems that the queen mother is going to have a little trouble with the saint again. These two are also the eldest people, and they always like to do childish things. What a wise and martial artist the saint is, he actually followed the queen mother.

The queen looked at the account book on the table, and it was just a momentary angry talk, the water in this inner body is very deep, since she promised the saint, she naturally wants to help him do something. "Xianglan, let people get these ledgers to Xinuan Pavilion. Prepare me some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and an abacus, and from now on, this palace will be to be the bookkeeper. ”

"Yes. Do you want to ask Xiangqian and Xiangsi to help?"

This Xiangqian and Xiangsi are specially trained by the Zhang family, and they are responsible for the accounts of several Zhuangzi and shops under the queen's name on weekdays. The queen manages the harem, and many accounts are also handled after they have seen them. Otherwise, where did she come from such a leisurely life?

"Naturally, it is wanted. This palace hasn't looked at the account book for so many years, and if it weren't for the two of them, it would be really big. Besides, this abacus beads, Xiangqian dialed much faster than this palace. ”

When the fourth prince came in, he saw his mother reading a thick book, and there was an abacus in front of him. "The queen mother, the queen mother, the sons and daughters greet the queen mother. Queen Mother, what are you doing here? This book is so thick and long, how is it different from what my son usually sees. ”

The queen didn't say that he didn't understand the rules, and he was spoiled by himself, "This is not a book, this is an account book." ”

What is that? The four princes stood on tiptoe and looked at the words on it, but they knew each other separately, what did it mean to be together?

The queen couldn't help but smile when she saw his curiosity, touched his head and said, "You can't understand this now, and you don't need to look at it." If you're interested, would you like to go back and teach you?"

"Well, Queen Mother, I'm going to play with this. The fourth prince pointed to the abacus, and there were many small beads on it, which looked very funny.

The queen's abacus was also brought from the interior, and the things sent to Kunning Palace were naturally good. Although it is just an abacus, compared to the golden abacus given by the saint, the abacus made of this black jade can be regarded as a rare treasure. "This is not a joke, if you like it, I'll get you a small one after I catch up with my mother. "I remember that when the family bought a dowry, not only Ama but also the uncle, gave a small abacus bead, which was made of jasper, small and exquisite. Although it is not more expensive than this, it is more delicate than this, and it is suitable for the four princes to play.

"Hmm. The queen mother, the son has not been late for the food made by the queen mother for a long time, and the son wants to eat. The four princes leaned on the queen and said their ultimate goal. Because the annoying Emperor Ama made the queen mother angry again, he hadn't eaten the food made by the queen mother for half a month, but he missed it tightly.

The queen looked at the account books at hand, and it was not possible to read them today, her son was much more important than these things. With a pull of his fingers, the bun's face was slightly deformed, "Okay, you snack." Say, whatever you want to eat, the queen mother will make it for you. ”

The fourth prince took advantage of the queen's bending over, pursed his mouth, and kissed the queen on the face, "The queen mother is the best, and the sons like the queen mother the most." ”

The queen hugged him, "You are a ghost, you are used to making your mother happy." Hey, it's really big, look at the sinking hands are falling, wait for two years, the queen mother should not be able to hold you. ”

"Don't grow up there, the queen mother will continue to hold her son, okay. ”

"Silly boy, how can you not grow up. You forgot, I said earlier that I should grow up faster so that I can protect my mother. ”

The fourth prince scratched his ears twice, which really stumped him. He wanted to grow up quickly and learned the ability to protect his mother, but he also wanted his mother to hug him like this often.

"Alright, silly boy, look, my brow is furrowed, like a little old man. With this kung fu, it's better to think about what you want to eat, and the queen mother will cook it for you. ”

"Well, Erchen wants to eat osmanthus cake, sugar gourd, and ......"

"Stop, stop, it's all sweets, didn't the queen mother say, you can't eat too much sweet, beware of toothache. ”

"Good mother, don't, Zhen'er hasn't eaten for a long time. You can do it for Zhen'er, okay, queen mother. The four princes put their arms around the queen's neck and sprinkled coquettishly without any burden.

"No, at most, it's the same, you figure out what you want to eat for yourself. "It can't come with his temperament. I haven't changed my teeth yet, but if I break my teeth now, it hurts very badly.

"Hmm...... That, the ministers there want it, they want osmanthus cake, and eight treasure ducks. ”

"Okay, then you can write or read a book for a while, and the queen mother will call you when she is ready, okay?"

"Okay, the minister will retire first. After thanking the mother. ”

The queen put down the fourth prince and instructed Su Wen Su Xin on the side, "Good life is waiting, don't let him read all the time." It's going to be very busy here in the palace these days, you have more snacks, don't get used to him too much. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid must serve the 14th prince well. ”

"Alright, let's go down. Xiangqian and Xiangsi came to the small kitchen to help. "Although the queen believes that her Kunning Palace is clean, it is always right to be careful. Fortunately, on weekdays, a few girls take turns to go in to help, otherwise it would be too abrupt.

I'm afraid that even the saint only knows about some things related to Lingpu, and it's not all about it. Here, firstly, there is a complex and intertwined network of several official families, and secondly, it has something to do with several adults in the previous dynasty, and even the royal prince is also in the strange, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. It's my father, and I wanted to come a few years ago. After all, she is in the palace, and if someone is there, there is no shortage of dots.

Needless to say, this ledger is known to be false, and the key is to see if you can find some problems. The most important thing for the saint now is to find out if there is a problem with this internal money, so let's see how many items are left now.

"You go through all the ledgers first, and calculate the final result. Fine, let's divide it next. If there is any problem, immediately report to Sù Hongu. At home, I still sued sù, just saying that the emperor was going to move the internal money. ”

In these matters, her father and uncle should be measured, at most, she helped to take care of some things in the palace when she entered the palace. The Zhang family, which has been low-key since the death of his grandfather, will not be stupid enough to have anything to do with the internal money, and it is even more impossible to do anything about the money.

The internal errands are all designated by the sage, and the seven princes and the Li family, who are the most powerful, are each other's in-laws, although they are all people with no real power, they are also the most unmoving. The Seventh Prince was once the beloved younger brother of the saint.

It's just that, with the favor of the Seventh Prince of the Holy Saint now, I'm afraid that it can't be too much, if she can catch the handle, it's just a matter of returning, if she can't catch it, even if she is the queen, she will be bitten back. Fortunately, it's just a ledger, if you really manage the practice, you will really offend a lot of people. But they can't be allowed to continue to be greedy for ink.

came out of the kitchen and accompanied the four princes to eat some food, and the queen sent the four princes to the upper courtyard. Immediately afterwards, he entered the Xinuan Pavilion and began to read the account book.

The queen originally thought that since they had done this account book intentionally, it was naturally not easy to see the flaws, but she knew that in just half a day, she also saw the problem. Ten taels of silver and one stone of rice, twenty taels of pork, thirty taels of beef, and thirty taels of fish.

Even if she was raised in the deep boudoir, she didn't know the price of goods outside, and she knew that this was wrong, not to mention that when she was learning housekeeping with her mother, she also read the family's income and expenditure account books, how could it be so expensive. My father's minister's salary is only a few hundred taels of silver a year, if there is really such an expensive price, how can he support such a large family. Although there are still Zhuangzi and shops at home, they can't withstand such a build.

But this is a detailed account.,Generally speaking, the top won't check so fine.,I think it's because of this, so I'm making a fuss here.。 This slave actually plays the master as a monkey!

Hatefully closed the account book, and the queen was rarely angry, "Xianglan, you go to the Heart Cultivation Hall in person...... Forget it, prepare for it, and the palace will go to the Heart Cultivation Hall in person. ”

Emperor Kang Qing was still in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he heard that the queen was coming, he thought that it should be the accounting matter. It's just that it's only been half a day, and you can see the problem?

The queen hid her anger and said with a dignified manner, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is auspicious." ”

"Get up. What is the important matter for you to come here?" As the emperor's dormitory, the Yangxin Palace is also the place where the daily handling of political affairs is located, and even the queen is not allowed to come.

"Please forgive the concubine for trespassing, but the concubine can't make up her mind about this matter. ”

Emperor Kangqing made a look, and Liang Degui let the rest of the minions go down and stay in the distance.

Emperor Kang Qing led the queen into the inner room, "Sit down first, is it a matter of the ledger." ”

Although it was an inquiry, it was said in the affirmative. "Exactly. The queen spread out the ledger that had been clutched tightly in her hand and placed it on the small table, "You see, this is too much. I don't know when the rice in the palace became so expensive. At this price, not to mention the ordinary people, even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, I am afraid that they will not even be able to support themselves. ”

When Emperor Kang Qing listened to the queen's words, he knew that she was very angry, so he took her hand that was trembling with anger and soothed her, and then picked up the account book to read. This look at it made him angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

After only turning a few pages, Emperor Kang Qing shook it vigorously and threw the account book to the ground, "It's the other way around, these minions don't know what to do, and they are so deceitful." How did the seventh brother become an internal minister, can't you see such an obvious fake account!"

The queen was taken aback by Emperor Kangqing's anger, and hurriedly calmed his breath for him, "Don't be too angry, watch out for your body." This ledger is detailed, and the designations sent to the Seventh Prince's Lord are all general ledgers, where can they still be seen. If it weren't for the ledger you asked for in person this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to get it. ”

The queen is really right, and there is only a general ledger on the top of the horizontal and vertical heads, and these details are just they made up a random appearance. It's just that this time Emperor Kangqing made up his mind and ordered Liang Degui to watch it personally and sort out all the account books of the internal money. Because there were too many of them, many of them were still in the inner palace to watch, and they just sent the nearest one to Kunning Palace. At this moment, the group of minions in the inner circle may not be in a hurry.

"I must investigate this matter to the end! Since they even dare to change this, there may be some other problems. In this way, I will give Wei Zhu to you, and if you have any questions to ask them directly, let Da Zhong pass it on. Seeing what the queen wanted to say, Emperor Kang Qing intercepted her words, "You don't have to worry about the rest, this internal matter can also be regarded as a family matter, and it is nothing for you to ask." You can ask all the officials in the internal government, and if you have any questions, you can send them directly and report them to me. If you can't make up your mind, tell me again. ”

The queen knew what Emperor Kang Qing meant, as long as she didn't involve the previous dynasty, she could call the shots in this matter. In this way, it is also much more convenient. After all, the saint will not be ruthless to those families, but if she is replaced, as long as the name is right, she is not afraid of a ruthless notoriety. Anyway, she won't let this group of minions continue to do mischief.

After thinking about it again, the queen said, "Sage, I still have something to ask for." ”

"Say it. "It's not good to shout a saint.

"I think, this period of time, let the prince come to Kunning Palace more often. "The prince has been pampered by saints since she was a child, and she has lived a luxurious life, and she has always wanted to find an opportunity to correct it, and this time is just right. Moreover, the Tao in the inner palace is not much better than the previous dynasty, and it can be regarded as his experience.

When Emperor Kang Qing heard this, he subconsciously said, "What's the ...... What do you mean......" Emperor Kangqing clenched his hands into fists, put his back behind his back, and walked back and forth a few steps. Finally, he suddenly turned around and faced the queen, "Okay, let him live in Kunning Palace in the next few days," his big hand touched the queen's shoulder, "It's hard for you to think about him." ”

"It's right for a mother to think about her son, isn't it?"
