Steward Sima stood with his head bowed, very unhappy in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he is a housekeeper, he is a friendly helper, and has not been paid for more than four years so far. So when Yan Tianyan took over the accounts of the house before leaving, he invited him to take a seat, and he sat down unceremoniously.

But after she left, the third lady never gave him this treatment. It's just that the two generally don't have much in common.

It's embarrassing for him a little now.

Yan Tianyan was strange. The master of the next person? That also depends on whom. She heard the princess's grandmother talk about Butler Sima, and she respected him very much.

Besides, an old man of such an age worked hard for Mu Mansion, no matter how he said it, he had to be given the least physical strength.

This third lady, have you forgotten what happened to Mu Fu when she was in distress before? I heard that she was also despised by others.

She picked up her teacup and took a sip. Then he personally got up and helped Butler Sima to sit down. Only then did he return to his seat and pick up the account book: "Third aunt, the accounts for six months seem to be a lot." We're slowly right. ”

"Third aunt, this account doesn't seem right, right?"

Yan Tanyan is right one by one, and has found a lot of things wrong. The third aunt Liu is in charge of the house, because of the situation, she is an elder, so she didn't think much about it, so she went over and forgot it, but the mistake was really a bit outrageous.

The accounts of the house, the housekeeper is in charge of the money, and the person in charge is in charge. That is to say, the steward will plan out the number of items that are needed, and the steward will send them to do it specifically.

She saw that the monthly expenses of the master of the house were paid according to the amount she had set before she left. However, the monthly expenses of the maids and servants have been reduced by half, and the accounts of the East Kitchen have increased by almost half compared with before, that is to say, the wages of the people have been reduced by half, and the food has doubled.

How can you reduce the salary of your subordinates by half for no reason, the subordinates in ancient times had a humble status, a low personality, and did their best to do things, so the wages had to be reduced. This capitalist is too hateful, this is called cruel exploitation.

In addition, no matter how inflated prices are, it is impossible to double them in half a year. Half of the wages are paid to the subordinates, but the food is raised so high.

Isn't that a challenge to her intellect? She is the young lady of Mufu, the housewife, and she is the one who is in charge. The third aunt is just a substitute, and the account book will be shown to the princess in the future.

Steward Sima was obviously exculpating himself, he bowed his head deeply and whispered, "This is all done according to the instructions of the third lady." ”

The voice is very small and helpless. There must be a cat greasy in it, a big cat greasy.

The orders of the third lady? Even if it was the order of the third lady, how could the wages of more than 100 people in the house be reduced by half. Kitchen expenses increased by half.

She raised her head and asked, "Uncle Sima, is this a disaster year?" Is the silver worthless? ”

Steward Sima said in confusion: "I haven't heard of any disaster." Oh, it seems to say that the harvest in the western Xinjiang is not good. It has nothing to do with us. As for the silver, the young lady laughed, how can silver not be valuable, silver is money.

If it is not a disaster year, the value of silver is depreciated, how can the wages of the subordinates not increase but decrease? Even if prices rise, it is impossible to increase the cost of the kitchen by half, right? Could it be that the price of grain and rape has doubled? Probably not? The people are for food, and in that case, the people will not all rebel. But all they saw when they came back was prosperity, stability and unity.

"Third aunt?"

Since it is the third lady's command, listen to her explanation.

Liu's face turned red, and his heart became nervous.

After six months of taking care of the accounts, she has indeed earned a lot of private money for herself, much more than the pocket money of several years.

She had never been a family before, and she heard the fourth lady say that this was okay. To say that it is an account is to write it casually, and no one will look at it carefully. With such a big Mu Mansion and so many subordinates, there will be a lot of half of each person's body. Thinking that she is so old, she has no children and no daughters, and only one niece, in order to live well in the future, it is fundamental to earn more money.

Tried it two months ago. Those subordinates were coaxed and deceived by her, but they didn't dare to squeak, and they didn't dare to be angry. Together with the fourth lady, he used the authority of the lady to deduct the salary, increase the kitchen expenses by half, and threaten the housekeeper Sima not to report to the princess.

Since Mu Hanfeng left, the princess has been in poor health. Rheumatism is more serious and almost does not leave the house.

Steward Sima didn't dare to trouble her for this. But he has been a housekeeper for so many years, so he naturally records the monthly rules that people actually get in accordance with the rules.

And the third lady didn't care about the accounts herself, but when she kept the accounts, she still kept the previous amounts.

She also took the previous salary from Steward Sima, and doubled the food expenses in the kitchen.

This becomes two accounts,

All the money that was deducted and overreported went into the pockets of the third and fourth ladies. Steward Sima knew it very well in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, he is the master, and he is only responsible for management.

"Young lady, is our family's salary for those subordinates too high? Taller than the Royal Palace? Half less is just right. Also, how can we say that it is also the Guogong Mansion, the improvement of food, and besides, the princess is not in good health, so she has to buy some rare medicinal herbs often. Those red and white things have to be dismissed. Ay. It can break your third aunt's heart. In short, all the accounts for the past six months are here. You take your time. The third aunt still has something to do, so let's go first. ”

After Liu finished speaking, he got up and left first.

She took the kickback herself, deducted the money of her subordinates, and was a little afraid that Yan Tianyan would find out. There is a ghost in my heart, and I am afraid that Yan Tianyan will not be able to reveal the stuffing after the question. Or leave early. Go back and hurry up to discuss with the fourth lady. She has a lot of ideas. 、、

It's just that she thought that this young lady would also be able to live, which is what the folk say about saving, and she won't understand so much. How dare you be so bold.

I didn't expect this young lady to be so powerful, her eyes were simply too vicious. She saw the clue so quickly.

、The two of them took it, and they couldn't carry it themselves in case something happened. 、

Do you want to go? Yan Qianyan frowned slightly. Immediately relieved. It's okay, just go. With the ledger in hand, she only needs to confirm that the deducted money is greedy by her. You'll have to make her spit it out. Otherwise, how will this family be managed in the future.

Yan Tianyan smiled and got up very politely: "The third aunt walks slowly." The accounts will be checked with Uncle Sima. Where is wrong, it will be found. It's almost a flat account, and if it's too bad, it must have been sent out yet, and the third aunt has to pay it back. It's really missing, but the third aunt has to break the money to make up for it. ”

Do you want to make it up? Liu stopped, his eyes wide open.

"Third aunt. I don't send it. ”

Yan Tianyan also ignored Liu's dissatisfaction. Sit back down. (To be continued.) )
