Chapter 29: Old Accounts
Du Hong sat for a while, knowing that the father and daughter must have something else to talk about, and it was not good for him to be an outsider here. Seeing that Rong Jiang had no other instructions, he got up and said goodbye.
Rong Jiang didn't keep too much, and told him to study hard.
After Du Hong left, Rong Jiang has been standing by the wall to look at the picture of the Yanyu Jiangnan of his predecessors.
Rong Zheng felt that her father's figure was a little gloomy, and stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Dad, are you okay?" ”
Rong Jiang turned his head to look at his daughter, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Rong Zheng saw that his father's love was not bad, and it should be the time to speak, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "I asked my father about my mother's marriage, who is in charge now?" ”
Rong Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this, didn't you care much about these before." ”
Rong Zheng thought that she didn't bother to ask about these things before, when she got married in the last life, her mother's dowry was also inherited from the past, but it was a pity that she didn't ask before, those companions were torn apart, plus Ma intervened in it, and what she got was almost defeated.
In this life, she doesn't want to be a fool anymore, she should be her own, and she should fight for it.
"The daughter sorted out her mother's things two days ago, and she remembered it. I heard that when my mother first entered Rong's house, she accompanied two Zhuangzi and two courtyards. I don't understand who is taking care of it now, what is planted on the Zhuangzi, and who is managing the house. ”
Rong Jiang glanced at her daughter, and Sister Zheng was becoming more and more similar to her mother, especially these eyes were exactly the same as Ah Mei's eyes. He nodded and said, "These were supposed to be given to you later." These properties are all taken care of by your mother's companion at the beginning, and there is a copy of the account book Wan Dahe, and a copy of your mother. ”
Rong Zheng naturally knew that the mother in her father's mouth meant Ma's, and she hurriedly asked, "Can I ask about this?" ”
Rong Jiang smiled: "Why not, you go back and ask your mother." ”
Rong Zheng didn't want the Ma family to get involved in this matter, after all, it was the dowry that the Qi family bought for his mother back then, how could he let the surnamed Ma take care of it. She smiled: "Okay, then I'll ask Wan Steward." ”
Rong Jiang said: "It's okay." ”
Rong Zheng got his father's will, hurriedly returned to the house here, and asked Ruyi to invite Wan Dahe to come over.
Wan Dahe was drinking tea in the account room, and when he heard that the third lady was invited, he was still confused, and muttered: "What is going to happen to this eldest lady, do you want candy or flowers?" "I didn't take Rong Zheng seriously at all.
Rong Zheng received Wan Dahe in the flower hall, and did not make too many detours with him, and said bluntly: "Wan Guan, where is my mother's companion now?" ”
Wan Dahe's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but look up at Rong Zheng, the little girl who was less than thirteen years old still had a childish face.
"I wonder if the third lady has anything to tell them?"
"I'll ask them something. I heard that they were helping to take care of my mother's property back then, and that the steward had a set of ledgers in his hand. ”
Wan Dahe hurriedly said: "At the beginning, the old man asked the old slave to take care of this matter temporarily, and said that he would hand it over to the young lady when the young lady left the cabinet in the future." ”
Rong Zheng said: "I want to find out the income of those lands over the years. You go back and tidy up, and send it to me in the afternoon. ”
Wan Dahe was busy responding, but he was muttering in his heart, which one is this little girl singing. No, he had to go to his wife and ask if he could give this account book, and he had to ask her for instructions.
"In addition, please ask Steward Wan to help me invite my mother's companions, I want to meet them."
Wan Dahe agreed.
After he came out of Rong Zheng's courtyard, he went straight to the upper courtyard.
Ma was also looking at the account book, Wan Dahe clarified the matter, and asked: "The third lady said that she wanted to read the account book, and Mrs., ...... you read it?"
Ma Shi said with a calm face: "Wan Guan is old, and he is also confused. That's Miss's thing, it's her freedom to ask whatever she wants, why can't it? Go and sort it out and bring it to her. ”
Wan Dahe responded with a little weakness. Although he didn't do anything on the books, he was a little negligent in management in the past two years, and he was afraid that he would have to sort it out before he could get it.
After Wan Dahe left, Mama Zhou said to Ma: "Why did the third lady suddenly think of this? ”
Ma Shi frowned and said, "It must be someone next to her who is giving her ideas." ”
"Then Mrs., the third lady here may come to ask......" Mama Zhou stopped talking.
Ma Shi glanced at Mama Zhou and said, "What are you panicking about." If she asks, I'll show her too. It's up to her to see if she understands it. ”
"I'm afraid that there will be some high-ranking people around her, and my wife still has to be prepared. If the master knows about this, he will not be happy, and maybe he will not let his wife take care of the account books in the future. ”
Ma didn't understand in her heart, when Mama Zhou mentioned this, she was even more upset, and said, "Don't say it, I know it in my heart." No matter who gives her advice and instigates her to come, I have a way to deal with her. What Ma thinks about is Rong Zheng, a child, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, where does he know something. When the time comes, the fooling will be over.
At the end of the afternoon, Wan Dahe sent the account book over. Rong Zheng said with a straight face: "It's hard work." I'll keep this ledger here for a while, and I'll return it to you when I've read it. ”
Wan Dahe promised.
Rong Zheng said again: "If there is anything I don't understand, I'm afraid that I will have to trouble Wan Guan to run away." ”
Wan Dahe said with sweat in his palms: "The third lady is sent casually." ”
Rong Zheng served tea and sent it off.
Shisu, who was standing next to him, glanced at the stack of ledgers and said busily, "Can Miss understand this?" ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "It shouldn't be too difficult. ”
When she married into the Liao family, her mother-in-law didn't let her be in charge of the house at first, but later her father was promoted, and she had a face in the Liao family, and the Liao family treated her politely. I've seen a lot of ledgers and everything. So it's not too difficult for Rong Zheng to understand the ledger.
Rong Zheng turned over in turn, and every record of Wanda River in and out was quite detailed, which was not too difficult for Rong Zheng. By the time she had roughly read the ledgers, it had already been changed. I had a rough idea in my heart.
At the beginning of the next day, my mother's former companion entered the house.
Rong Zheng dressed solemnly before going to receive them.
When the people in the fourth room saw Rong Zheng, they saluted her first, and Rong Zheng said weakly: "You are all here with my mother, and you are my mother's people." You're welcome in front of me. Speaking of which, I'm still a junior, so if there's anything inconsiderate, please Haihan. ”
Rong Zheng sat the four of them down, and Zisu and Ziying helped serve tea, brought snacks out, and treated them very thoughtfully and politely.
The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what this young lady was planning.
