Chapter 132: The Ledger
Du Hengshuang listened to Xiao Taiji's words, raised his eyebrows lightly, and his obsidian-like pupils made Xiao Taiji's heart weak, and he looked away uncomfortably.
"What did the second brother say? Am I not the Xiao family? Du Hengshuang said lightly, and then said to Long Xiangye, "Mother, in this matter, I want you to preside over the overall situation." If you have no objection, I will go back and talk to the uncle, and let the uncle discuss this matter with my mother in detail. ”
Long Xiangye was silent. Separation, as long as she lives, is definitely not allowed. But it is also good to take this opportunity to compensate the second child. After all, this family is controlled by the eldest child, and the second child is really pitiful, only guarding two shops, and after giving birth to a child, does the family drink the northwest wind?
Long Xiangye gave Xiao Taiji a look, and said to Du Hengshuang with a smile: "It's okay, you can discuss it, you let the boss come and tell me, his brother is also present, we are not outsiders, easy to talk." ”
Du Hengshuang didn't care about Long Xiangye, smiled and agreed, and went back to take care of the affairs of the outer courtyard, so that the inner tent room would bring the account to her.
The Xiao family had a lot of shops and granges, and Xiao Shihe had some silver from the wild road came in, and then ran out unknowingly and unknowingly. The money is gone, but the accounts are to be clear. Therefore, the Xiao family is in the outer courtyard, and there is a special courtyard, which is tightly sealed, and there are usually four big men guarding the door, which is specially for the tent to live.
There are a total of five tents in the outer courtyard of the Xiao family. A big account in charge of the general office, known as Wu Cheng of the "Golden Abacus". There are four other tents, two outer tents, and a shopkeeper's tent. A grange's account. An inner account room, which is in charge of the expenses of the inner courtyard and the verification of the payment of money. There is also a tent room, which is a dark tent room, which is in charge of Xiao Shi and the money of those wild people. There were apprentices under each of these tents, and a three-entry courtyard was full, and the ledgers were stored in another place.
Du Hengshuang only dealt with Wu Cheng, the big tent, and two outer tent rooms and one inner tent room. Xiao Shiji didn't introduce her to the dark tent room.
The tents are so important, and these tents of the Xiao family are even more different from ordinary subordinates. Although they also have a life contract, it is different from a death contract. It's all a living deed. You can leave after ten years, so you usually have a bit of arrogance, similar to half a master.
Today, because he wanted to send the silver in the inner courtyard, Du Hengshuang was also a little disgusted with the inner tent. Let's be honest. This time it was a mistake. Du Hengshuang admitted half of his mistakes. The inner tent has to admit the fault of the other half. He was in charge of the inner tent, didn't he know that there was no silver in the inner courtyard of Ludao? They didn't even remind her.
Du Hengshuang came to the courtyard of the tent and entered the double door. I heard someone talking behind the shadow wall, and his voice was a little shrill and strange, and it didn't look like a woman.
Bypassing the shadow wall, I heard the voice "ah", "Someone is coming, I'll go in first." ”
Du Hengshuang had already bypassed the shadow wall and took a picture with a white-faced, beardless, round, chubby, and steamed bun-like person.
"Ah, I said that the young lady is here, polite and polite." The man didn't hide anymore, gave Du Hengshuang a salute, and then turned around and entered the east wing.
Du Hengshuang was taken aback. This person looked at it, just like those inner servants in the palace, and there was such a person in Xiao Shiji's outer courtyard tent!
Zhihua helped Du Hengshuang, and when he saw that she was stunned, he hurriedly urged: "Grandma, it's not too early." ”
Du Hengshuang cleaned up his mood, walked up the steps quickly, came to the main room, walked to the left behind the glass screen with rich and splendid flowers, sat down, and whispered to Zhihua to pass people in, "Pass Wu Xiao's tent." ”
The inner tent room is the big tent Wu Cheng's nephew Wu Yong. On weekdays, everyone calls Wu Cheng Wu Da Tent, and Wu Yong Wu Xiao Tent.
Zhihua stood outside the screen and passed on Du Hengshuang's words, and the people waiting in the courtyard hurriedly called Wu Yong.
Wu Yong was eating wine with someone in the hall, his face was flushed, he was full of alcohol, and walked in crookedly, only to see a teenage girl standing in the hall, it was Zhihua who had come to the outer courtyard to pass a message to him a few times, and the personal maid of the young grandmother shook her head on the ground to Zhihua, and asked with a smile: "What is the reason why Sister Zhihua asked Wu Yong to come?" ”
Du Hengshuang was a little annoyed when he heard this behind the screen. At this time, what are you talking about?
It's been a few days since the old lady's birthday, and the words that should be passed on have spread all over the outside, but this Wu Yong is still pretending to be a troublemaker?
Zhihua took a deep breath, endured his anger and said: "The eldest young grandmother asked me to look at the account book of the expenses of the inner courtyard, and by the way, I will pay the silver taels of the courtyard within this month." ”
Wu burped with wine, and the smell of wine and meat and vegetables was stinking in the hall.
Du Hengshuang frowned more and more behind the screen.
Zhihua hurriedly stood in front of the screen to block the smell of wine, fanned it with his hand, and said, "You stand farther away, don't dirty the ground here." ”
Wu was furious.
Wine can strengthen courage, and he has always relied on his uncle to be the big tent of the Xiao family, and he himself is also smart and clever, and he has done a good job, so he can't help but be arrogant. Not to mention that she is a little girl who knows how to paint, even if Du Hengshuang personally admonishes her, he may not necessarily buy it.
"What are you? Dare to call you 'you and me' Uncle Wu?! - Okay, sell it for a beating! Thousands of people ride the goods pressed by thousands of people, and dare to fight with your Uncle Wu Yong's waist......" A series of rough words in the market scolded endlessly, and when I heard that the painting was ashamed and ashamed, I couldn't help crying, but I still stood there motionless, lest this muddy person collide with the young grandmother.
Du Hengshuang was also furious when he heard it behind the screen.
I am the mistress of the Xiao family, my personal maid, and I was actually pointed at my nose and scolded like this, how can I support a family in the future? !
"Little girl, you were born well. Come here, let the uncle kiss him, and the uncle will let you go back today. Or, when you taste the taste of your Uncle Wu Yong, you are reluctant to leave. Wu Yong took a step forward, approached Zhihua, smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus oil on her body, and the faint fragrance of virginity, and couldn't help but feel the little hand of Zhihua, "Look, how soft and slippery this little hand is, touch the master." Yo, my bones are crispy. ”
Zhihua didn't expect Wu Yong to move his hands and feet, so he was stunned, stunned, and didn't dare to mention that Du Hengshuang was sitting behind the screen. - I am a maid, I am light and thin, anyway, I am a slave, and there is no big problem. But the young grandmother's reputation has been ruined.
The eldest and youngest grandmother is a woman in charge of the outer courtyard and has to deal with men often. To outsiders, it's not very appropriate.
It's the uncle who trusts the young grandmother. entrusted the whole net worth to the young grandmother.
You must hold on, and you can't let people see jokes.
Zhihua thought of Du Hengshuang, and his courage suddenly came to life, and he pulled his hand out of Wu's oily hand. A backhand slap in the face. Fan Wu in the face. said angrily: "Where did you eat, and you know that you are chewing maggots with your mouth?!" - Come on, drag this guy who has no master in his eyes out of the gang and go to play the top ten boards. Wait until he's sober and talk back! ”
The people waiting outside the door heard Wu Yong's nonsense in the hall, and their intestines were so blue with regret. The young grandmother is sitting behind the screen, he dares to talk nonsense, he is not afraid that the uncle will know and chop him up and feed him to the dogs?!
Zhihua was furious, and the people waiting outside hurriedly came in, dragged Wu Yongsheng alive, and dragged him out.
These people knew that Du Hengshuang was sitting behind the screen in the hall. What Zhihua said was Du Hengshuang's attitude, and these people did not dare to show favoritism. Although he has a good relationship with Wu Yong on weekdays, he also knows that his backstage is Wu Cheng, the big tent, but no matter how powerful Wu Cheng is, he is also a subordinate, Du Hengshuang is the master, and he is the person in the uncle's heart, who is more important, it is clear at a glance.
In order to atone for their sins in front of Du Hengshuang, these people brought a big bench over, tied Wu Yong to the bench with a cowhide rope soaked in tung oil, picked up a big stick as thick as a flat pole, and hit Wu Yong's ass fiercely.
As long as Wu Yong is severely punished, the anger of the young grandmother will not be sprinkled on their heads.
These people even beat Wu with a dead hand.
Anyway, it was the eldest maid of the young grandmother who ordered it personally, and Wu Yong molested others in the hall again, and it was not unjust to be killed.
Wu Cheng, the golden abacus of the big tent, was doing the general account in the courtyard behind him, when he heard one of his apprentices break in breathlessly, and gasped: "Master! Master! Uncle Xiao was pressed and beaten in the front yard, Master, go and take a look! ”
Wu Cheng knew that his nephew was very good on weekdays, and he had offended many people, but he had his own care of him, and ordinary people didn't dare to do anything to him.
Now I heard that someone dared to beat his nephew, and I was so distressed that my face twitched. In fact, these people don't know that this nephew is not his nephew, but his own son, who was born by him cheating on his sister-in-law when his eldest brother was far away. Later, the eldest brother came back, but fortunately the time was still right, so he randomly thought it was his eldest brother's son. And his eldest brother has many sons, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less, and he doesn't know that his brother and his daughter-in-law have a private relationship, so he has been hiding it.
Wu Cheng himself has never married in his life, so he is very close to this nephew, and he said that he will inherit his net worth to Wu Yong in the future, and he also took him with him to learn the account himself, how can he be bullied like this?
Wu Cheng threw down the account book in his hand with one hand, put down his robe, got up and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about it. ”
The apprentice happened to be learning to plan in the East Chamber, and he rushed out when he heard the commotion, and only came to reply after inquiring clearly.
As soon as he heard that it was nonsense that offended the eldest young grandmother's eldest maid, Wu Cheng's face sank, and his steps slowed down, and when he entered the courtyard from the back door after a while, he had already thought of an idea in his heart, just the best of both worlds, with a happy face, and he walked into the courtyard from the verandah.
As soon as he came, he didn't rush to make people stop, but came directly to the hall, knelt down straight in front of the screen, and shouted: "Please be gracious!" My nephew has always admired the painting girl, and today I have to see the beautiful woman, I am anxious, and there is no malice, please let the young grandmother do it! ”
