Chapter Eighty-Six: A Product of Official Residence
Seeing Ye Ming's reaction at this moment, Ye Nianchen was not surprised, according to Ye Ming's temperament, he would not admit it even if he was afraid of being killed, let alone that now it was only her so-called niece who came.
She had to say with a little embarrassment: "Uncle, Nianchen naturally didn't mean that. It's just that since Nianchen is now in charge of the affairs of the house, then the next person has reported it, of course, he has to check it, otherwise he will not be able to give an account to Princess Zhaohua at that time. ”
Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Ye Ming helplessly and continued: "You also know that Princess Zhaohua has never treated Nianchen like that, and this time the princess suddenly handed over such an important matter of taking care of things in the mansion to a person with no experience at all, obviously ......."
Obviously, you don't have to say anything to get it, so of course Ye Nianchen didn't say it: "Even if Nianchen didn't make any mistakes, I'm worried that I will be branded with a bad name, if I find the problem now but don't deal with it, I don't know what it will be rectified by Princess Zhaohua." ”
Hearing this, Ye Ming's originally angry attitude eased a little.
"Even if you are a sensible child, it's not that I, the uncle, are talking bad behind people's backs, then Princess Zhaohua is indeed very excessive, doesn't she just think that you are back and robbed her of her own daughter's eldest daughter's position, look at what she has done to you these days, how can she have the demeanor of a mother-in-law!"
Seeing this, Ye Ming took the opportunity to say that Princess Zhaohua was wrong, and the ordinary people in the capital were very clear about what had happened in Ye Mansion these days, let alone him.
Of course. The reason why I said this, of course, was not to sincerely fight for Ye Nianchen, but to pull Ye Nianchen to his side, so that it would be easier to do the accounting.
"Uncle, don't say this outside, after all, she is a princess, and her identity is different from ours." Ye Nianchen looked like he didn't want to make trouble, and said: "Nianchen knows that the uncle is holding grievances for Nianchen, but some idle patience will pass, and I don't want to always stir up so many things." ”
"You kid. It's just that the heart is too kind. If you don't bother with her, you won't be embarrassed? I don't think it's that simple. ”
Ye Ming's eyes rolled, and he put on a look of charity and concern: "Think about it, she said for no reason that she would have to recuperate for a few months if she was ill, and then she had to hand over this mess to someone who didn't know anything to do." Isn't it clear that he just wants to catch you and trouble you when the time comes? ”
Seeing that Ye Nianchen wanted to speak again. He looked worried. Ye Ming continued to hit the railroad while it was hot: "Anyway, Uncle has to remind you, you must have a little heart, don't let Princess Zhaohua pit you." She just doesn't have any kind intentions for you! ”
"Thank you uncle for your reminder and concern, don't worry, Nianchen will pay more attention."
Putting away his previous worries, Ye Nianfa smiled and said to Ye Ming: "Uncle, let's talk about your account this month first." According to the bookkeeper, this amount is at least two thousand taels less than usual, and it stands to reason that it cannot be so small. ”
Seeing that Ye Nianchen mentioned the account again, Ye Ming suppressed his displeasure and patiently explained: "That's the case, the business of those shops last month was not very good, the expenses in the shops were large, and the natural profit was worse than usual, how could this business be so good every day, and it was already good if there was no loss, what was wrong with the accounts, it was clear that someone was looking for trouble." ”
"Is it possible, this month is less than before, and I have to make up for what I earned?" Ye Ming was very unhappy as he spoke: "Besides, Ye Mansion has such a big family business, why is it just staring at the few shops I manage, and I don't want to earn a little less, is it possible that I have to settle the account on my head?" ”
"Uncle, what they mean is that you have also floated too much, everything has been normal in the capital recently, nothing special has happened, and there is nothing that affects the business fluctuations too much."
Ye Nianchen explained: "And, listening to what they mean, your accounts are also a little unclear......"
"What's wrong? Nonsense! Ye Ming didn't admit it.
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen had to ask the shadow to take out the few sheets of documents that she was carrying, and pointed out the problematic places one by one, but of course it was through the words of the account room and others, not her own tone.
Seeing this, Ye Ming's face turned green, and he shouted that those people were talking nonsense, and then simply insisted that it would be no problem, and let Ye Nianchen do it by himself.
"Uncle, have you been short of money lately?" Ye Nianchen was not angry, but asked with concern.
"Lack of silver?" Ye Ming's expression changed suddenly, and he said vaguely: "Uncle is different from your father, he has almost no ancestral property in his hands, and now he helps manage a few Ye family's shops, not to mention the tiredness and hard work, and the money he earns has almost nothing to do with me." My family also has dozens of people to feed, and the amount of silver that is paid in the public every month is just that little, when do you say that Uncle I am not short of silver? ”
Ye Ming naturally didn't mention anything else to Ye Nianchen, but just complained and shouted that it was indispensable: "Although you are only temporarily acting as the agent of the affairs in the mansion, but this time you have to judge justice for the uncle, my account is so much, what's the problem?" If you have to say that there is a problem, then the uncle can't help it! ”
Ye Nianchen snickered in his heart, this Ye Ming was clearly playing tricks.
"Uncle, you are the eldest son of our Ye family, how can you live this life now......
She sighed deliberately: "That's it, my niece will find a way to let Mr. Bookkeeper do a good job of the accounts, and the niece naturally believes in the uncle's personality, and she will definitely not do anything in the accounts." ”
"My father is really, this looks like he is about to be promoted to the first rank of the official residence, why do he still want to catch everything in his own hands? I'm not afraid that I can't take care of it. Besides, in fact, the Ye family has so many properties, so it should be inherited by the uncle, no matter how much you can't let the uncle's life in this room be so tight......"
"What are you talking about, your father is about to be promoted to the rank of phase and official residence?" Ye Ming was surprised, and immediately interrupted Ye Nianchen's words and reacted.
"Yes, why don't you know, uncle?" Ye Nianchen said strangely: "Concubine Jiang has come forward in this matter, and it is estimated that it will be ten stable in another month or two at most, and there will be a will." The third uncle and the fourth uncle all know about it, so they all follow their father around these days, and they are very busy. (To be continued......)
