Chapter XXIV
"Boss, here are all the books, please look at it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Ke Yidao respectfully delivered the bill.
Bai Qianqian flipped through casually, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, there was a problem! The Bai family's family business is nominally handled by Bai Changqing, but she knows that Bai Changqing thinks very highly of herself and is not a business material, in fact, the business of each family is taken care of by the shopkeeper, and these shopkeepers, without exception, are all Ge's people.
In her previous life, she married Li Jinluo, and the Bai family did not give any dowry. Ge Shi took her hand and shed tears as he said, "Shallow, although you are not my own child, I have never treated you as an outsider over the years. You are married today, my mother is very happy, although the Li family is not a rich and noble family, but it is also a family, Jinluo is a vengeful person, and you will definitely enjoy all the glory in the future. Over the years, business has become more and more sluggish, I have discussed with your father, this time you get married, the dowry sent by your grandfather's family is extremely rich, and our Bai family will no longer add it. Shallow, don't blame your father, the business has lost a lot in the past few years, and he is also sad. ”
But later, Bai Raojiao and the White Demon got married, and the dowry was so rich that it shocked the entire Liyue City.
"Ke Accounts, if I'm not mistaken, the income of the Gilded Pavilion last year was 30,000 taels of silver?" Bai Qianqian pointed to the last total number and said. It shows that last year's surplus was 31,200 taels of silver.
Ke Yidao nodded, "Yes." "The account is made by him, and all the data is provided by the king's treasurer. He has always been careful in his work, and he has calculated many times. When he was making accounts, he also wondered why the amount of expenditure was so large, but the king's shopkeeper told him to only keep the accounts and leave nothing else.
"On paper, it's seamless. Shopkeeper Wang, you've worked hard all these years. Bai Qianqian said to the shopkeeper Wang who was kneeling on the ground.
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly replied, "It's not hard. ”
"But the king's shopkeeper, in business, hard work is not enough, you have to know how to make money. The gilded pavilion is a huge golden building, and the balance of a year is only 30,000 taels, so you are not afraid of tarnishing your reputation when you say it? Bai Qianqian pointed to the purchase column and said, "Tell me, why the silver paid to the jade merchant is twice the market price?" ”
"Second Miss, do you know that the raw materials used in the Gilded Pavilion, whether it is gold, silver or jade, are the best, and the price is naturally higher than others." Shopkeeper Wang's thoughts flipped, how could these two young ladies have lived in seclusion in the compound for many years, how could they be so proficient in business.
"Taller? Ke's account room, take out the transaction account between the gilded pavilion and the jade merchant. Bai Qianqian smiled indifferently at the king's shopkeeper's words, doing such a thing as fake accounts is commonplace for the king's shopkeeper, but as long as it is a fake account, there will always be clues.
The shopkeeper Wang was secretly worried in his heart, but fortunately he was meticulous and insisted on doing all the accounts himself to ensure that there was no leakage. Even if these two young ladies have great abilities, they can't find any flaws.
Ke Ledger glanced at Shopkeeper Wang with a complicated expression, and instead of picking up the ledger book on the counter, he went straight to the backyard.
When he returned, he had a yellowed account book in his hand. The king's heart sank suddenly, and his fat body became extremely flexible at this moment, and he jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Ke Yidao, trying to take away the account book. This account book can't fall into the hands of the second lady under any circumstances.
At the moment when his white fat hand touched the account book, Tang Ruyu took the first step to take away the account book, "Shopkeeper Wang, I'm really embarrassed." Now, my little cousin is the head of the Gilded Pavilion, and the account books belong to her. Yo, yo, yo, why are you so ugly and stupid? ”
Shopkeeper Wang stared at the account book with his eyes, and suddenly rushed towards Tang Ruyu like crazy, "Give it back to me!" ”
Tang Ruyu flew up and avoided it lightly, and the shopkeeper Wang threw himself on the ground.
"Little cousin, give." Tang Ruyu handed over the account book to Bai Qianqian's hands.
"Boss, this account book is hidden by the king's shopkeeper under the pear tree in the backyard." Ke Yidao truthfully reported that he had been an account room in another house before entering the Gilded Pavilion, and he never cheated, and because of this, he was disliked by the shopkeeper, and later entered the Gilded Pavilion, and the Wang shopkeeper would do a good job of the account data, and then hand it over to him to do the accounts. One day, he was very late in his accounting, and when he went out at night, he found that there were people in the yard. He hid in the corner and took a closer look, but it was the king's shopkeeper digging a pit. After digging, a black box was buried in it.
"You—" The shopkeeper was speechless with anger. He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Ke Yidao. The reason why he left Ke Yidao at the beginning was because he took a fancy to his honesty and almost obeyed his words, but he didn't expect that he had an idea.
"I see! Shopkeeper Wang, for the sake of this gilded pavilion, you are really well-intentioned. Bai Qianqian opened the account book, his brows tightened more and more, guessing is one thing, seeing with his own eyes is another, his mother's hard work was trampled on by them like this.
"Shopkeeper Wang, this account book is far from the account book in your name, last year you obviously earned 200,000 taels of silver, why is there only 80,000 taels in the account? Where did the rest of the 120,000 taels go? Isn't it because you have been defiled...... Bai Qian's tone suddenly raised, "You are the shopkeeper of the Gilded Pavilion, but you are greedy for money from the master, which is a violation of the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom." ”
"Broken jade, immediately go to the government to report to the official. The king of the gilded pavilion was rich, and he coveted the silver of the lord's family, and he defiled 120,000 taels in vain. ”
Soon, Helan Jun personally led people to the Gilded Pavilion.
"Second Miss, the broken jade came to report, saying that the shopkeeper Wang coveted the master's silver, but is there such a thing?" Today, he is wearing an ink-colored official uniform, and his body exudes an extraordinary bearing. Looking at Bai Qian's eyes, his eyes were as gentle as water, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. On the day of the dinner, he looked at her like this, treating everyone else as nothing, as if she was the only one in heaven and earth. If it was in a previous life, she would definitely be moved, but in this life, she is no longer stupid.
"Exactly." Bai Qianqian said, "The gilded pavilion is my private property, a few years ago it was handed over to my father to take care of, today I went to the gilt pavilion to check the accounts, and found that there was a shortage of 120,000 taels of silver. I also hope that Lord Helan will call the shots and find justice for Qianqian. I don't dare to use such a shopkeeper. ”
"Someone, take the king's treasurer away. Second Miss rest assured, Helan will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Helanjun's people dragged the king's shopkeeper back to the palace.
When Bai Changqing and Ge Shi got the news and hurried from the compound to the Gilded Pavilion, they saw such a messy picture: Bai Rao was huddled in the corner, her eyes staring at Bai Qianqian in horror; One by one, the men in the shop fell to the ground, groaning in pain or fainting; Zhang Lao and Ke Yidao stood beside Bai Qianqian respectfully, reporting the situation in the store to Bai Qianqian, obviously recognizing her as the new owner......
