035 Deficit in accounts
"Big ...... Big lady ......"
Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, and the words on her lips were not good, and the nonsense just now was long gone
Shadow, "I...... I shouldn't steal the fang card to outsiders, but my wife will never dare to have the slightest intention of colluding with outsiders, I really don't
Dare to ......"
Xiao Ruiniang, who was guarding the side, grinned, knowing that this old woman was held by the eldest lady, and she didn't dare to make any more trouble, so she saw Ji
Qingchen stretched out his hand and pulled out a book from the stack of blue-faced account books behind the low screen.
"The matter of the fang brand, let's not mention it for the time being-"
She threw the account book directly from the house to the courtyard, crossed the corridor, and fell in front of Mrs. Wang with a bang.
"I don't know something, Mom and tell me about it."
The heavy account book splashed the white sand paved in the small courtyard, and three or four grains hit the skirt of Mrs. Wang, and slipped down, Xiao Ruiniang hurriedly walked away a few steps and retreated far away to the door of the courtyard.
She grew up in the workshop since she was a child, and she has been waiting by Ji Qingchen's side these days, of course she knows that Mrs. Wang, as Ji Chenhu's adoptive mother, reached out to help their three sisters and brothers when they were poor and had nowhere to live.
In front of outsiders, the eldest lady has always wanted to give these old neighbors a little more face.
The eldest lady wants to reprimand, of course she has to avoid it.
In the six months that she has lived in the small courtyard of the Ji family, in addition to the eldest lady who will often talk to her and let her see her greatly, Ji's mother and all the mothers in the inner library have to take her to observe the workshop in the inner library workshop every day according to the meaning of the eldest lady, teach her to recognize herbs, and learn to take stewardship, she is really not the crazy girl who only played with her friends in the streets and alleys before.
She hid herself by the door and listened with her ears pricked up.
"Since the family was separated years ago, San Lang moved to live in the Nanfang house, and the property under his name was also arranged by him to be taken care of by himself."
Ji Qingchen said unhurriedly, pointing to the account book on the ground, "These three medicinal herb shops are important business, I remember that he was handed over to Wang's mother's eldest son to take care of, if I remember correctly, my mother's child is called Wang Tuan'er......
"I'm not mistaken, where can the eldest lady be mistaken, the two little beasts in my family, the big one is called Tuan'er, and the small one is called Bao'er......"
Wang's mother also knew that Fangpai could rely on old friendships to vaguely pass, and the matter of checking the accounts was not so easy to explain, and her heart was already tight, but she could only laugh, picked up the account book of the pharmacy at her feet, and held it in her arms.
With a soft "click", she put Song Ci's tea cup on the tray.
She looked at Mother Wang in the yard and continued:
"Since it's an industry in Saburo's name, I don't want to ask who he wants to spend the money he earns, but the more than 2,000 families in Nanfang believed in him at the beginning, and followed him from the fishing village in Minami Kyushu to move all the way to us——"
She sat up straight in the room and stared at Mother Wang,
"Mom knows what these three medicine village shops are doing?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head heartily, but she was afraid that she wouldn't believe it if she said it, so she could only wipe the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose with a sweat towel, and tried to answer with a smile, saying:
"If you go back to the eldest lady, these shops are dedicated to purchasing rare medicinal materials on small islands in the Nanyang area, and resell them to the Xifang Yoshizumi Warehouse at a seven-fold profit, and then resell them from the Yoshizumi Warehouse to several princes and regent families in the Heian Capital of Nishierjo-ri-"
"That's right, I think my mother must also remember that these shops don't make much money, and in the past, I could take out three hundred taels of gold dust a year in my hands to give the elders in the workshop, so that Wang's mother is forty years old and has been injured by fishing all year round to exchange some medicine for the ancient people——"
"Yes, yes, it's all the kindness of the big lady, the old man and the old lady who are fishing in the workshop have rheumatism, and now they don't have to pay for animal bones to boil medicinal soup-"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, Lao Han's legs ached faintly, and she already knew that it was the East Window incident.
Cold sweat was dripping on her forehead, and she couldn't wipe it clean with a sweat towel, and secretly scolded the waste under Saburo, who only knew how to fight and fist, but she couldn't wipe an account.
"Since it is a business that does not seek merit but seeks no fault, why did he hand it over to Wang Tuan'er to take care of it, and in less than two years, there was a deficit of six hundred taels of gold - my mother told me about this reason?"
"Big ...... Big lady ......"
Mrs. Wang didn't expect to be found out, but she never expected to be questioned by her in person at this moment, and she couldn't help but shrink
With his hand under the ledger, he stuffed the gold bracelet in his sleeve even more, racking his brains to vague it.
Of course, she knew that San Lang Ji Chenhu had used the gold dust to buy weapons and armor, and even violated the strict rules in the workshop that private individuals were not allowed to do business with the Fusang people, and privately bought war horses from the Fusang people, but how could she dare to say it?
Three years ago, when the eldest lady was preparing for the dowry, she found out that there was a deficit in the pension money of the two squares that were ready to give the residents over forty years old, except for Erlang's side of more than 100 taels of gold placer is the old account of the North Fang and the stewards eating, drinking, and hanging accounts, Erlang Fei hurried to pay for it himself, and Sanlang's side lost 15,000 taels of gold but it was all the result of his own spending.
These gold sand are the little girls who he and the thousands of people in the Nanfang eat fine wine, play weapons, use grain and cloth to raise fresh and tender Fusang girls outside, and buy all kinds of rare goods in the Nanyang that are not used, and unconsciously become a big hole that cannot be filled.
This incident not only made San Lang lose the favor of his sister, but even the old people in the workshop complained.
Fortunately, the eldest lady still understands her younger brother, knows that he is not a person who can keep money, her left hand is in and her right hand is out, and she has a bowl of meat to share with all the brothers in Nanfang, he has no half of the gold sand left in his hands, and there is only Ji Laosan in the eyes of the Fang Ding in Nanfang, and there is no one else, inside and out, like an iron bucket, they all scolded the people in Beifang for deliberately slandering Nanfang in order to help Ji Chenlong be the owner.
Seeing that the two squares were scolding each other, and for the future position of the owner of the house, the eldest lady took out her dowry and took out 15,000 taels of gold to ask San Lang to make up for it, but what she thought in her heart, just look at her giving Ji's warehouse to Ji Chenlong.
This is going to cause trouble again, after the eldest lady gets married, San Lang really doesn't want to inherit the position of the owner.
"Big lady...... Since the eldest lady found out the short account, she just asked my little beast to ask, and the old lady would never dare to intercede, and she also begged the eldest lady to investigate. ”
"I also want to ask, but his account is full of San Lang's private seals, and when he asks, isn't it just slapping San Lang's face? Saburo is also twenty years old this year, and the seventh day of the seventh month should be his coming-of-age ceremony, and I can't control him-"
She smiled slightly, obviously expecting her to shirk like this, and sighed,
"Speaking of which, this matter is also ordinary, but I didn't think much about it for Mother Wang. At the beginning, Wang's mother provided him with food better than her two biological sons, but San Lang has never been able to repay him. Now that he has some talent, it is right to help his godmother's own son, and it is naturally good for Tuan'er and Bao'er to honor their mother. ”
Wang Pozi heard that her tone was wrong, and she was about to defend herself, although Tuan'er and Bao'er also honored her with gold bracelets and gold chusses when they were buying weapons, but San Lang knew it.
What's more, compared to the money for buying weapons, what she was greedy for was a small bits and pieces that couldn't be smaller-unexpectedly, with a "snap", she threw out another account and smashed it in front of Wang's mother again.
"Mom tell me again, what's going on with the sub-accounts on this river?"
"Big lady! My wife really doesn't know about the things on the river—"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly picked up the account again, hurriedly flipped through it, and smashed the medicine shop account in her hand on her foot, which made her mouth crack.
"Mother Wang doesn't know? Does that mother know who the people who open the store in Xifang? ”
"The south and north squares are our people, the east square is full of Song merchants, and the west square is all Fusang people-"
Wang Pozi hurriedly replied, and when she said that she was talking about the Fusang people, her heart suddenly struck.
Others may not know, but she knows too well that the eldest lady volunteered to go to Zhuma Temple as a slave, and later wanted to build this Tang Fang, although it was to have a mouthful of food, or there was also a reason why she could teach her to read and read because she saw a monk from Middle Earth in Zhuma Temple.
- Anyway, the eldest lady's mind has been very deep since she was a child.
But her wife understands that at the root, she went to the temple as a slave, but she didn't want Ji Chenhu to be sent to the interior of Fusang to be a slave.
That night, when the three sisters and brothers had just arrived in the small fishing village, they stayed on the broken fishing boat of her Wang family, and listened to more than a dozen old families in the village talk about the way out of their three sisters and brothers, and all patted Ji Chenhu's thick shoulders and said that if he was sold into the interior of Fusang as a riding slave, not only could he have a few mouthfuls of surplus food for his sister and brother, but as long as he was lucky and strong, he would get the opportunity to open up the wasteland in the future, and maybe he could also get household registration and land.
As for Ji Chenlong, looking at his weak and sickly weak chicken, he wants to lead the horse for others, but he is not qualified yet!
"Since we know that it is an outsider, how come the fifty unloading board ships under Wang Bao'er's subordinates, when they unloaded the goods for the Jizhu Merchant Inn and Kinoshita Merchant Inn in the first half of the year, it was even half cheaper than our own own!"
Although her voice was calm, Mr. Li, who had just arrived outside the backyard door, was stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly made a hand gesture to Huang Qilang, who came behind him, asking him not to enter the courtyard first.
Huang Qilang, who chased after Zuo Ping and rushed to Ji's warehouse to ask to see Ji Qingchen, poked his head out, glanced at the door frame, and already saw her kneeling figure sitting in the house, as well as her hands on the green ayako skirt.
She crossed her fingers and stretched them straight, as if she was going to strangle Ji Chenhu to death.
Mrs. Wang racked her brains to excuse her son, and she couldn't let Mrs. Ji know that San Lang arbitrarily cut off the medicinal materials of the Jizhu Merchant House in order to raise funds, and sold them privately, and she didn't want them to make trouble in front of the eldest sister, so she secretly unloaded the goods for them at half price.
But what she could handle was only her old face, and she suddenly changed her sweat to tears, and whimpered:
"Big lady, my Bao'er is only thirteen years old, it's just that I didn't teach well......"
"Mom, is this choking me? Who doesn't know that Tuan'er and Bao'er grew up with Saburo? They followed Saburo to sea before they were ten years old? You don't know about the boys, and I don't blame you, but you haven't taught them, don't let Saburo come by-"
At this time, she no longer covered up, her thin eyebrows were raised, and she was already full of voice.
"They don't know what I sent, who dares to string San Lang to meet Fusang women outside, send rice and cloth to raise outside, and go to their house to eat and drink and gamble every day, I will no longer care about the old friendship, and the whole family will be driven out of Tangfang?!"
"Big lady!"
Mrs. Wang never expected to be involved in Ji Chenhu's raising of a woman from the short account, and knew that this was the eldest sister that Ji Chenhu did not please the most
Happy, he suddenly knelt down and shouted to hit the sky.
The sound of his knees hitting the ground made Huang Qilang outside listen to it, and he only felt his teeth sore.
