Chapter 119: The steward looks for thorns
On the way, Chu Yun looked uneasy, "Miss, did you say that the old lady did it on purpose?" ”
muttered to Lin Zhiyu in a low voice, Chu Yun is not a slave of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the old lady, so he is naturally devoted to Lin Zhuyu, and he is not less dissatisfied with the old lady's imprisonment of the young lady last time.
"What do you say?"
Isn't that obvious? Lin Zhuyu glanced at Chu Yun.
"Then Miss, if we go over like this, will the old lady not admit it?" Chu Yun asked worriedly.
"No, it won't."
"How does Miss know? Could it be that the young lady has a brilliant idea? ”
"Brother seems to be coming back from his turn this morning, right?"
"Huh? How does Miss know? If there is a young master, then I am not afraid of the old lady! ”
Chu Yun seemed very happy after knowing that he had a backer.
It didn't take long to arrive at the old lady's Rongsong Courtyard, and as soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard the old lady's laughter, and it seemed that the atmosphere inside was not bad.
The little maid opened the curtain and reported that the second lady came with the tent man, and Miss Rubao came to greet her, and sure enough, there was also her brother who came with her.
"Son, are you alright?"
Lin Xuanqing naturally already knew what kind of work Lin Zhiyu had taken over, and when Jing Yun went to say it at first, Lin Xuanqing felt that something was going to happen, and he thought about how to excuse himself, who knew that Jing Yun said that as long as he cooperated today, he could manage the economy of this mansion by himself.
At first, Lin Xuanqing naturally didn't believe it, he knew that his sister was strong, but if the economy of a mansion was on a business trip, it would not be a trivial matter. But Jingyun repeatedly assured that Miss would not have an accident, and Lin Xuanqing agreed with half a doubt, only saying that it would depend on the situation at that time.
"But here?"
The old lady didn't see anyone come in, and began to ask questions in the room.
Lin Zhiyu came back to his senses at this time, walked in, and saluted obediently, at least he could get by on face.
"Is there something wrong with coming over now?"
The old lady was already ridiculed in her heart, she just asked for an extra black chicken in the morning, ready to use it for stew, Lin Rong, the little slut, actually took the chicken feather as an arrow, and specially remembered it. But fortunately, she didn't expect that it had only been half a day, and Lin Zhuyu had a problem here, and she saw that the head of the account had brought it over.
"It's fine, but I want to ask my grandmother to witness it."
"Oh?" The old lady looked puzzled.
"Old lady, this is the remaining government silver as of today, and the small one has made a note and brought it over."
Saying that, the tent directly handed over the slip in his hand to Rubao, and Rubao naturally presented it to the old lady.
What does that mean? Are all the accounts in the tent clear? Don't go on a business trip, it's not easy for your father to ask when the time comes. ”
The old lady had this note in her hand, but she didn't expect that she just intervened and didn't care for many days, and she had already spent so much this month, but fortunately, she had let go now, and she couldn't rely on it.
"Didn't check!"
Lin Zhuyu seemed to be deliberately angry with the old lady.
"This ...... How can you ...... grandmother who believes in you so much?"
"Grandmother, I just took over today, and the old accounts are naturally tired from my grandmother's housekeeping, and it's not easy to interfere, so I don't care about the old accounts in this house, now it's these 34 taels and 700 Wen, and I naturally only care about where the silver goes!"
Although he was just a child, Lin Zhuyu's tone of voice was unquestionable, slow and logical, and he said it sentence by sentence as if no one was around, which made the old lady difficult to refute for a while.
After a long while, the old lady seemed to be annoyed by Lin Zhuyu's attitude, and she didn't speak.
Lin Xuanqing took over, "My sister has grown up, but you have to take good care of the rest of the money, don't look at the grandmother's housekeeper easily, you will be in a hurry when it comes to yourself." One sentence not only flattered the old lady, but also reminded Lin Zhuyu.
"What my brother taught me is that I must live up to my brother...... Grandmother's expectations. ”
After a pause and thinking for a long time, I still added the old lady, and now my foundation is unstable.
"Hmm." The old lady snorted at the bottom of her nose, and it was considered a yes.
Seeing that the old lady agreed, Lin Zhiyu didn't want to stay longer, and said, "There is still something in the yard, so I won't disturb my grandmother for lunch", ignored the old lady, and left directly.
Out of Rongsong Courtyard, it was indeed not early to sleep, all the way back to the courtyard, and then rushed to the middle courtyard without taking a break for lunch. This time, I didn't bring Chu Yun, but I called Jing Yun.
When he arrived at the middle courtyard, Lin Zhiyu saw this posture and felt that Jingyun was right. In addition to the chief manager of the inner courtyard and the chief manager of the outer courtyard, there are more than ten large and small stewards standing in unison. When the time comes, if no one listens to what he says, everyone will drown themselves in a mouthful of spit.
After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts, and said to the various stewards in the courtyard, "You are all old people from my Prime Minister's Mansion, and many of you have spent more time in the Prime Minister's Mansion than me, so you naturally understand this rule!" ”
After saying a word, the people below were noncommittal, especially the aunts and aunts of several women's hospital stewards, who looked like they were ignoring them.
"It's not a big deal to call you here today. But I won't call you over for trivial matters, and there is only one thing I want to say, that is, in the future, no matter which steward pays money from the account, it must be proved by the law! ”
"What else should I do, there has always been a document, if the second miss is idle, just drink tea here, I'm still busy, so I won't accompany the second miss to Liwei!" With an arrogant face, he said that he was about to leave.
It was an aunt who spoke, but Lin Zhiyu didn't know it, but looking at this tone and attitude, it was either the old lady's yard or the second aunt's yard.
Lin Zhuyu didn't stop him, but said, "If you want any steward to think that I am in Liwei, just go back now, but I will say my ugly words first, and I can't get the silver later, don't come to me and cry!" ”
However, even with such a threat, there was still an aunt and a middle-aged man in charge who followed Fang Cai's aunt in charge, and left directly without looking back, not taking Lin Zhuyu's words to heart at all.
Lin Zhuyu just looked at it coldly, and waited for the three stewards to leave before he continued to speak, "No one else is leaving, right?" So let me talk about how to write this note! As he spoke, he motioned for Jing Yun to take down the two notes that had been written, "You can take a look, in the future, as long as I am still in charge of the money in the house, and I want to take money from the house, then I have to write it like this!" Let's take a look first, the time, what is the reason, the person who handled it, the whereabouts, and who signed it in the end, all of them are written clearly for me, otherwise I can't get the funds, don't blame me for being ruthless! Lin Zhuyu looked down on the stewards condescendingly, without a hint of joke.
"That's too much trouble, isn't it? If something urgent happens, by the time you get the money, it's already too late! ”
In the steward who was left, there were still thorns, and as soon as he got the note written by Lin Zhuyu, he only glanced at it and denied it again and again.
"In a hurry, nature obeys the right! I'm not an ignorant person, do you have any objections? ”
Lin Zhuyu looked at the steward who had just spoken, but explained kindly.
Although the steward looked reluctant, he didn't speak anymore, seeing this, Lin Zhiyu let them go back.
And he also took Jingyun to the tent.
