Chapter 45 Ledger

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Our family, even if it is anything else, the fields are not harvested, and the past can be said to be the loss of the industry." Those shops, they don't have to do anything, just collect a rent, how can they still lose money? ”

Mrs. Li said, "This is normal. Some shops can collect rent, some can't, and some have to repair houses. After all, these shops in our father-in-law have been around for some years, and if they are repaired today and tomorrow, the rent is not enough to repair the house, so they will naturally lose money. ”

Mrs. Wang was angry, and her voice was unconsciously amplified: "Our shop is not a shop in those slums in the south city, our shop is in the east city, the west city, the best location of the shop." What kind of family do you think our family is? Are we the rich men of the land? We are the Chen family of the four major families, where can the location of this shop be bad? Our Chen family in the capital has been in business since the previous dynasty, and for hundreds of years, the location of this shop has always been the best. Are you fooling us with these words now, when we are all fools? ”

Mrs. Li said with a calm look: "If my sister-in-law thinks there is a problem, you can go and ask the most powerful account office of the Yuan family to check here, if you find a wrong account, it is not too late to ask me about my sin." ”

Mrs. Wang trembled angrily and said, "I will naturally ask someone to check the accounts." ”

Bai Yuying frowned. Since Mrs. Li is so sure, it can be seen that there may really be no problem with this account, at least it is easy to find out the problem. The person who called the Yuan family to check the accounts could only show his ugliness, but it ruined the reputation of the Chen family. But this obvious problem is just not able to grasp the handle. It's really frustrating and uncomfortable.

It's not just Bai Yuying who has such thoughts, but Chen Yuanru and Chen Yuanfang, two old sisters, have such thoughts. The two of them glanced at each other, they were both housekeepers for many years, could they still understand such a simple thing? The ledger is written by a person, so it can naturally be altered, or even a whole set of fake accounts can be made, which must be seamless. Not to mention that it was someone from the Yuan family who went to check the accounts, the emperor Lao Tzu had no way. Or how did those corrupt officials get corrupt? The imperial court has audited the accounts over the years, but why can't it be found?

Although there is no evidence. But the people present were smart people. Who still doesn't know what's going on? This time, the eating appearance of the second room is ugly. Some of the broken jars were even broken. It is conceivable that if he continued to be the head of the second room, today's account book must not be written like this, and there will not be such a big deficit. But the second room was at a disadvantage. Not only can I not be a family. and they will be divided into families. In this way, the second room has no power, so it is natural to think of making more money. But. Such a clumsy approach is really unseemly.

The two old sisters shook their heads and looked at their mother, Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li is not stupid, nor is she an old fool, although the things in this are not very clear, but, after all, she is the hostess who has been in charge for many years, and she has presided over Zhongfeng for so many years, and she has seen a lot of things, what kind of things have you not seen?

The second family's trick is really not clever. Old Madam Li was also a little angry.

In fact, because the second son is the second son, and the children in the family do not have much interest, when Chen Zhaonan was alive, he thought about their family, and gave them better industries and more profitable industries in advance. The silver in the family, the annual balance, the filial piety of the people below, the tribute of the affiliated family, and the annual gift from the clan land. Even if it is taken from the third room every year, this is a lot of silver. In addition, the investment in Nanyang brings huge profits every year.

Although Mrs. Li has not left her home for many years, she still knows the general situation. Although in recent years, because the palace had to support the queen mother, there were two concubines, and later Chen Wenfeng, who was still the crown princess at the time, in order to support these people, the cost was greater. However, the power brought by the palace has also brought huge benefits to the Chen family, in general, the Chen family has been prosperous all these years, how can it lose money? Not to mention that this silver is the same as the mountain, at least it won't lose money.

In Mrs. Li's feelings, this time to divide the family property, there will be a lot of silver on the books, because the mansion, everything in the Chen family is a big house, she feels sorry for the second son, so she is ready to say that after leaving a little bit of the silver on the account, most of it will be given to the second room, which can be regarded as subsidizing the second room. In advance, she revealed this meaning to the boss Chen Yuanfeng.

Both daughters also know.

Chen Yuanfeng still knows brotherhood very well. When Chen Yuanheng, the younger brother of the concubine, was released from Beijing, he was all helped. can do this to the younger brother who is born, let alone the younger brother who has lived for decades with his own mother's compatriots? Chen Yuanfeng said that because he is the eldest and occupies the ancestral house, he has already taken a great advantage, and he should give his younger brother more silver.

However, now that he sees such an account, the two of them look so ugly, Chen Yuanfeng is also trembling with anger.

Mrs. Li saw the eyes of her two daughters looking at her, and knew that what the second room did was really not authentic. Mrs. Li was about to speak, but suddenly thought, what if she opened her mouth and was blocked back by the second and second daughter-in-law? After all, there was no evidence for this matter, and Mrs. Li couldn't help but raise some money.

At this time, Bai Shi spoke with a smile: "The eldest sister-in-law is also angry, and the second sister-in-law should not be angry, we are all a family, what is a little money?" Don't be laughed at on this. In the past few days, originally, my father has gone, and we are all sad in our hearts, so I am afraid that everyone will be sad and depressed in their hearts, so don't toss your body badly. So, I found an interesting thing to tell you and smiled. Although we should be sad that our father has just died, isn't there still a mother? Let we, as children, be generous to our mothers. ”

At this time, Bai wanted to tell jokes, and all the people were very strange. Not to mention that it is in mourning, even the current tense atmosphere is not suitable. However, everyone knows that Bai is not a casual joke person, there must be some intention. So everyone stared at Bai's.

Bai Shi smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, but a few days ago, I found an interesting thing here, maybe someone wants to learn to be a housekeeper, so I got some account books to learn to do." I read it and thought it was interesting, so I took it and showed it to everyone, chatting and laughing. ”

After saying that, Bai Shi gave the red carp beside him a look, and the red carp bowed out, and after a while, he brought people and moved some account books.

Bai smiled and said to Bai Yuying: "Yuying, you are about to learn to be a housekeeper, take a look." ”

Bai Yuying's heart moved, walked over, and opened one of the ledgers.

Mrs. Li looked at Bai Shi and frowned slightly, only feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but when she thought about it, that matter had been dealt with a few years ago, and there should be no problem, so she sat down and drank tea with peace of mind, ignoring it.

Who knows, the more Bai Yuying looks at it, the happier she becomes, and the joy is beyond words. Everyone is weird. Chen Yuanru said: "Daughter-in-law Qi, is it really so funny? What kind of ledger is this? How? Can a ledger be funny? ”

Bai Yuying smiled and handed the account book to Chen Yuanru to read, and at the same time selected from Mrs. Li's account books, found a book, and handed it to Chen Yuanru to read.

Now everyone is weird.

Chen Yuanru didn't look at the smile, but the more he looked at it, the deeper the frowning became, the more serious the expression on his face became, and finally, there was some atmosphere.

Chen Yuanfang asked strangely: "Second sister, but what's the problem?" ”

Chen Yuanru snorted coldly, handed the two account books to his sister, and said to Mrs. Li: "Second brother and sister, you are really a good means to do accounts, a good housekeeper?" ”

These words were a little weird, and Mrs. Li was a little strange, and she chuckled in her heart.

Chen Yuanfang also frowned when he looked at it.

Mrs. Li saw it really and hurriedly asked, "What did you two see?" ”

Chen Yuanfang stood up, took the two account books, held them to Mrs. Li, and said, "Mother, you see, this is actually an account book, but one of them is a real account and the other is a fake account. However, this is not this year's ledger, it is the previous year's ledger. Both are recorded at the same time, the same thing, but the end result is different. One is a surplus and one is a loss. It's really seamless, and the second sister-in-law is really a good means. ”

Mrs. Li stood up suddenly, with a frightened look on her face, looking at the Bai family, looking at Mrs. Li, and finally looking at her husband, her heart became more and more panicked.

The big maid beside Mrs. Li had already prepared her eyes and put them on for Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li looked at them carefully.

This time, when Mrs. Bai was calm and relaxed, Mrs. Li was restless, and Mrs. Wang didn't understand yet, so she asked Bai Yuying: "Daughter-in-law Qi, what's going on?" ”

Bai Yuying replied to her mother-in-law's words, but her eyes were staring at Mrs. Li: "Someone has the means to make two accounts, one is a fake account, and the original surplus money has become a loss." One is a real account, which is clearly recorded, and the money has fallen into his pocket through the hand of a companion. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Wang still doesn't understand. This is the evidence, I really didn't expect that this real account was actually in the hands of Mrs. Bai.

When Mrs. Wang saw the fake account, she knew it was a fake account. She is not unaware of this kind of selfish methods of large families. However, the real accounts are generally very well hidden, or even destroyed a long time ago, where can they still wait there to be investigated?

At that time, Mrs. Wang thought that she must be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai helped herself at this time and actually found such ironclad evidence. (To be continued......)
