Chapter 118 Settle the Accounts
Soon, the tent boy moved all the accounts, but there were quite a few. A thick ledger was accompanied by receipts of various sizes of red and green that had been secured with several copper clips.
"Second Miss, the accounts of the past few days are here, because of the eldest lady's birthday, some of them have not yet come to the urgent accounting."
The bookkeeper put the account book in the little man's hand on the desk and explained to Lin Zhuyu.
"Well, Mr. go get busy first, I'll finish reading it in a while, if you have any questions, I'll look for Mr."
Lin Zhuyu looked at these accounts, estimated the time, and knew that he would not be able to finish reading them for a while.
The tent man went out, leaving only Lin Zhiyu with Chu Yun. As soon as Chu Yun looked at so many accounts, he complained again and again, Miss, when will I be able to read so much?
"You can rest assured that you will have the time to finish reading." Saying that, Lin Zhuyu had already picked up the receipt slip from the top volume with his left hand.
I didn't rush to see what each one was, but I roughly browsed and flipped through it, and I could preliminarily determine that I was holding a bill in my hand, but only with the bill.
There is a price note written by the little guy after the kitchen food in the house, and there is not even a person who handles it;
There is also a list of newly purchased writing utensils for my sister's birthday, and there are only what things and what prices, and some things are also divided into two places;
There are also lists of clothes, jewelry, and various utensils that have been sent to various courtyards in recent days, and Lin Zhiyu has paid special attention to them, and many of the jewelry on them he has not seen.
Anyway, all kinds of miscellaneous bills are not small, although most of them only write down the supplies and prices, there is no time, the shops to buy, and there is no person to handle and whereabouts.
Knowing that just holding these lists, he couldn't see what was going on, so Lin Zhuyu simply stopped looking at it, and concentrated on taking the account book that Mr. Bookkeeper had written down to study.
An account book, out of the account, and in the account are all put together!
The account is simply divided into two categories, the expenses in the house and the current expenses in the house!
Densely written in small letters with what and price, not even a form! Lin Zhuyu felt a headache just by looking at it, and it was difficult for Mr. Tent to face such accounts day after day.
After turning a few pages, Lin Zhuyu directly put down the account book in his hand again, Chu Yun saw Miss like this, naturally thought that looking at the accounts was annoying, and comforted him, "Miss, these accounts are not in a hurry, anyway, there is still Mr. Tent, it is better to let Mr. go to the yard every day to go back to the last time, so that Miss will not have to work so hard." ”
Chu Yun said that the second aunt was like a manager, but in this way, it would be easier for Mr. Accounts to steal profits from it. Thinking of this, Lin Zhuyu thought of one more thing, this account is here, what about the silver in the house?
"Go, tell the gentleman to come in."
"Yes, miss." Chu Yun thought that the young lady had figured it out, so he hurriedly went out.
Soon, the account clerk came in, and the first thing I saw was the account that had just been moved in, and the bill was still in place, and the account book was opened, but the ink had not been touched, and it was obvious that the second lady had not done anything! Therefore, I felt a little more disdain for Lin Zhuyu in my heart.
opened his mouth and said, "Second Miss, have you finished reading it?" What are you looking for me? The tone was quite unconvinced.
"Sir, I wonder who is in charge of this treasury? Who do you look for on weekdays? ”
Lin Zhuyu naturally saw the dissatisfaction in the tent's eyes.
Half a ring, the tent room spoke, he didn't expect Lin Zhuyu to put aside the question of the bill and ask the silver, "It was naturally the second lady before, but at this time the key should be in the hands of the old lady, and the treasury will open at the beginning of each month, and the fixed silver for one month will be spent, and this silver is in the small here." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyu understood but was puzzled, according to what the account said, the old lady should have handed over the key to the treasury to herself yesterday, but for some reason she gave you the right to manage the economy of the mansion by herself, but kept the key that symbolized the representative of the power herself. Could it be that the old lady is still afraid that she will not be able to leave with the money?
But after thinking about it for a while, it was better not to have a key, and the burden on my shoulders was a little clearer.
"Then I don't know what the spending rule in the government is in January? How many are left? Lin Zhuyu naturally picked up important questions and began to ask.
"The monthly expenditure in the house is 120 taels, and the expenditure to the palace and the families is calculated separately, and now there are still left, and there are ...... left" Mr. Ledger has begun to sweat, and he doesn't know how much is left in the past few days, anyway, it shouldn't be much.
"Mr. Trouble, give me a specific number." Lin Zhuyu only thought that the expenses of this month had exceeded the standard, and the account office did not dare to say it.
"Second Miss, wait a moment!" Only then did the tent pay a little attention to the newly appointed second lady in his heart, and the two questions he asked were to grasp the key.
After a while, the bookkeeper returned, and along with him, the Fu butler.
"Butler Fu?"
Lin Zhuyu saw that the butler Fu was standing next to Mr. Tent, and he didn't speak, so he asked first.
"Second Miss, you are busy first, I'll come over to pay the silver."
It just so happened that the second miss was checking the accounts at this time, and the account room couldn't leave, so the Fu housekeeper simply followed up to see how the second lady managed the accounts, thinking that if she was wrong, she could help a little bit.
"Oh good! Wait, Mr. Nafu. ”
Mr. Fu came just in time, but he had to run again later.
"Second Miss, there are still 34 taels and 700 Wen left in the account!" When the tent said this, he was also a little afraid that Lin Zhuyu would blame him.
"Oh, Mr. Trouble first open a note, just write down how much money is left from the 17th of this month, and then sign your name, and then follow me to return to my grandmother."
Hearing that there was only so much money left, Lin Zhuyu was also very surprised, it was only a month and a half, and if he didn't check, he would definitely not be able to pass at the end of this month.
"This? What does this mean, Miss Two? "The January Mansion is in charge of itself, and the masters haven't intervened yet, even if it's not enough, when the time comes, it's just like that to inform the second lady, and this money is not spent by yourself.
"There's no other meaning, the newcomer doesn't care about the old accounts, since I took over the economy of the house, then I have to liquidate the previous one." Lin Zhuyu said that the wind is light and cloudy.
Mr. Ledger didn't dare to despise Lin Zhuyu anymore, and then he understood why the second lady hadn't read those accounts, and it turned out that he wasn't going to take care of those old accounts at all.
"Oh, the little one knows, let's write it."
The tent retreated, and Manager Fu was about to leave, but was left by Lin Zhuyu.
"Manager Fu, there is something to trouble Manager Fu."
Lin Zhuyu spoke directly, and he didn't waste time, after all, Manager Fu also had his own affairs.
"Second Miss, just give orders!"
"Can you trouble the deputy chief manager to hand over the stewards of the inner and outer courtyards to the middle court after noon, I have something to announce."
"I know, second miss, don't worry."
It is the duty of the Fu steward to contact the various stewards.
"Well, that's good."
Saying that the account room had already written a note, Lin Zhuyu also got up when he saw this, and prepared to go to the old lady's yard.
