Chapter 20: The Fragrance of Ink

Thinking of this, Liu's mother felt a lot more stable in her heart, and said calmly, "Miss, there are some things I don't know, we opened another green building a while ago, called 'Xiaoyaoju', which robbed us of most of our business as soon as it opened, and this income will become so miserable."

As for the cost, there is no way, there is not much rouge gouache left for this girl, so they can't be allowed to pick up customers without a face, right? And they all shouted to buy it, otherwise the skin would have a red rash, and I couldn't help it. ”

As soon as Liu's mother opened her mouth, she cleared all the responsibilities, and had a perfect explanation for both in and out.

Well, there is a high-sounding reason for this embezzlement.

It seems that this Liu's mother didn't have to hand over the account book in her hand if she accepted her fate, but wanted to do something in the dark and be the boss in the dark.

"Since this is the case, how should Mother Liu explain it here?" As soon as the ink pen changed, it was circled in one place and thrown in front of Liu's mother.

Mother Liu's face was ugly, and she was very angry at Ding Yishi's disregard for her dignity, but she still endured it, bent down to pick up the account book on the ground, and opened the place that had just been circled by Ding Yishi.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, she was startled after reading it, this ......

The goods purchased in the account, no matter which one it is, Liu's mother has already increased it by half according to the market price, I thought that I was unaware, but I didn't expect to be seen on the spot by this Ding Yishi, not only with an ink pen, but also don't know when to write the correct market price next to the price in question.

"Mother Liu, don't think that I don't know the outside market when I'm in the house every day, the price of everything you buy has increased your account book by half, which is more or less calculated, and there are nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Coupled with this income, do you really think I will believe that it is just a 'free house' opened on the opposite side, and the income of our account book will be reduced by sixty percent?

No matter how good 'Easy Home' is, we also have a fixed source of old customers, it is understandable that the income in one day and two days is not ideal, and the income in three days and five days is not ideal, what is Mother Liu thinking? Why not?

Is it because Liu's mother is uncomfortable in this position, or is she coaxing me like a three-and-a-half-year-old child? Kindness? As soon as the nasal voice was heavy, Ding Yishi threw the rest of the problematic account books on the ground.

The blue and white ledgers were scattered all over the place, just at the feet of Liu's mother, allowing her to see the account books that Ding Yishi had just changed above.

Mother Liu trembled, she didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful, she had already investigated the matter clearly, and she was waiting for her to throw herself into the net and catch her evidence.

"The eldest lady is angry, the eldest lady is angry." Liu's mother was dripping with cold sweat on her forehead, and she jumped up from the stool in fright, and kept giving Ding Yishi a look.

Now she is only a small shareholder, and the biggest power is still in the hands of Ding Yishi, if Ding Yishi really takes out the identity of the boss and changes the housekeeper, then she will be finished, and she can only live on some dividends, what good is there to talk about?

Putting aside private corruption, even those high-ranking officials and nobles are here, and every tip they give is a lot of money.

"Anger? Mother Liu, I wanted to ask you, how do you let me calm my anger? I handed over Wanhualou to you to manage, and there was no one of me interspersed in it, I gave you trust, what did you give me?

Is that all? Deceit? Fake accounts? Or these? Embezzlement? Deducting silver taels privately?

I don't understand where I should be angry? The terrifying domineering spirit on Ding Yishi's body was revealed, and she looked at Liu's mother who was still fighting angrily, and she didn't look angry at all, but was even more angry.

If you dare to do something under her eyelids, you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences.

"Miss, I don't dare anymore, give me a chance, I'll go back and return all the money back to the account, no more corruption, I promise, promise!" Mother Liu saw that Ding Yishi didn't let her go at all, and she became even more anxious, the frequency of her work increased, and her voice also cried.

Seeing that it had an effect, Ding Yishi didn't continue.

This Mother Liu has managed Wanhualou for so many years, and she has always had her own means, if Mother Liu is really removed, she really can't find a second person who can manage it as well as Mother Liu.

If you want Liu's mother not to be corrupt, it is impossible, but she is not greedy, she can turn a blind eye and grasp the scale, which is beneficial to both parties.

"Hey, I'm thinking that you're a first-time offender, and your attitude of admitting your mistakes is also very sincere, so I'll give you another chance." Ding Yishi sighed heavily, as if she felt very sorry for Liu's mother for making such a mistake.

Hearing that Ding Yishi was finally relieved, Liu's mother was grateful to Dade, and she was infinitely grateful to Ding Yishi in her heart.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, I will never make the same mistake again, and I will do my best for Miss in the future, and I will die."

Ding Yishi could see that what Liu's mother said was not a lie, so her hard work was not in vain.

****

For the next few days, Ding Yishi has been stuffy in the library pavilion, and has not come out for a few days and nights, except for the time to deliver meals and go to the toilet, Moxiang's door has never been opened, which frightened Lingruo, who was waiting outside, thinking that Ding Yishi had made something wrong again.

What kind of magic can attract such an obsession as Ding Yishi?

The answer is very simple, that is, the library cabinet is indeed as Ding Yishi thought, hiding secrets that no one knows.

Gu Yanruo is worthy of being the head of the Jade Ning Pavilion, and after marrying Ding Junguang during the period of escape, he can still quietly build a dark room for smelting pills in his family's study.

After Ding Yishi studied for a few days, he finally found its entrance, and it took a few days for an expert like Ding Yishi to specialize in playing with these things to find the entrance.

The mechanism is hidden behind the implied book compartment, and a button that is not very obviously recessed is the mechanism.

After pressing the mechanism, the entire bookcase creaked and swayed twice, and then slowly moved to both sides.

Because the time is too long, the door of this dark room has long been tightly surrounded by dust, this move, all the dust in the box has fallen, choking people can't stop coughing, and can't open their eyes, Ding Yishi had to retreat, waiting for the dust to settle, Ding Yishi tentatively took two steps down.

No signs of breathlessness, there are vents in this?

On both sides of the dark staircase were wall lamps that had long since dried up and had no lamp oil, and Ding Yishi cautiously walked down by the faint light of the fire fold in her hand.

The staircase winds down, and it can be seen that it was chiseled by hand little by little, and it inadvertently touched the walls on both sides, and it turned out to be very dry, which made Ding Yishi feel shocked.

What kind of thing is hidden under such a deep underground, where there is no dampness at all, and it can be kept so dry?

The further you go, the more curious you are about this, in this ancient time when science and technology are backward, there are such skilled craftsmen who have built such an advanced secret room deep underground, which is really admirable.

After descending about 100 steps, I finally saw the light.

Kindness? Light?

Quickened his pace, extinguished the fire in his hand, and walked quickly to the bright place in front of him, and finally, finally arrived.

***

"Mother, there are still eight days and a month, can't I go out yet? I'm going to suffocate, I'm going crazy every day in this room.

Mother, hurry up and think of a way for me, I want to get out quickly, I want to abolish that little slut, I want to make her crush her bones and ashes! "The beautiful face has long been distorted, and the bright eyes are no longer clear, and there is only that strong hatred.

"What can I do? I would have let you kill you a long time ago, and you were still soft-hearted. What's the use of regretting now?

That damn little slut didn't know what medicine he had given to the old man, so the dead old man had to say that he wanted to make amends, and that he would pay back all the debts he had owed before.

Coupled with the last incident, the little slut has a certain status in the master's heart.

Even if I manage the affairs of this mansion now, I have to be careful, for fear that something will fall into her hands.

Wait, as long as there is a chance, my mother will never let you suffer this grievance in vain, and I will let that little slut repay you tenfold and hundredfold. ”

"But I want to go out now, every day in this cell, I'm going to grow hair all over, I can't eat and sleep well every day, I dream of getting revenge on that little slut.

It's better now, no, no, no, it's immediately, right away, you can see that little slut kneeling and begging for mercy, I want her to live and not die. Ding Yuxi's eyes became a little crazy, and she was no longer the spoiled eldest lady.

She has been possessed by demons, and her body is full of negative energy.

"Okay, my mother promised you, when you go out, my mother will definitely make that little slut's life worse than death, in this general's mansion, no matter who it is, it is not allowed to shake our status."

A sinister mother and daughter, after this incident, have not yet received a painful lesson, and in this room, the fire of revenge is ignited.

――――――

"Ten Perfect Tonic Pills, Qi Pills, Snow Lotus Pills, Blood Circulation and Blood Stasis Removal Pills...... "God, how many kinds of pills are there in this forest?"

Each pill is housed in a delicate box, which shows how much the owner of the pill attaches great importance to them.

On the outside of the box, the main ingredients inside are roughly marked: Tianshan Snow Lotus, Blood Toad, Wannian Ginseng, Blood Deer Antler Velvet, etc.

Ding Yishi felt like a hillbilly who had never seen the world before, in this small basement, her mouth wide open, and her chin fell from beginning to end.
