Chapter 91: The Inside Story of the Year
When Yao Niangzi was crying, Ge Shi also stood by the door and watched the play. There was a burst of schadenfreude in her heart, who made Yao Niangzi always look down on people on weekdays, and she always talked about her marrying Zhengping.
It's as if Li Zhengping married her thanks to her, which is really annoying. Thinking of her dignified daughter of Ge Patrol and marrying Li Zhengping, where did he lose?
Besides, it was said that Li Zhengping was a serious member of the Li family, and he could be regarded as the queen of the Wang family. But now it seems that after the Li family, after the Li family, I don't know which generation I have gone to, and her status in the Li family is equivalent to a steward, which is obviously because of her Sister Ge Qiu.
The more she thought about this, the more angry Sister Ge Qiu became.
Therefore, seeing that Yao Niangzi was unlucky, her heart was as refreshing as eating ice sour plum soup in June.
"Sister Qiu." At this time, a woman twisted her waist and came over, it was Sister Ge Qiu's second mother, Cao's family.
"What are you doing here?" Sister Ge Qiu looked at Cao's angry voice. For the second mother of the Cao family, Sister Ge Qiu has always had no good face.
However, the Cao family has always been low-key and eye-catching, but she is obedient to Sister Ge Qiu, the eldest daughter of the Ge family, and therefore, although Sister Ge Qiu has never given the Cao family a good look, she actually does not have much malice towards the Cao family, and she is always good to Ge San'er from the Cao family.
"Your dad asked me to come to you." The Cao family didn't care about Sister Ge Qiu's face, and said with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Sister Ge Qiu asked with raised eyebrows.
"This is the surplus silver tax ticket and door stall fee ticket issued by the master to the Li family." Cao Shi said, handing a few tax stamps to Sister Ge Qiu'er.
"Why is it so high?" Sister Ge Qiu looked at the tax stamp, and couldn't help but scream.
"It's all from that special book." Cao's Road.
"That's a fake. It's just that the second grandmother and the virgin girl are used by them, how can they really collect it according to this? Dad was so confused. Sister Ge Qiu said angrily.
"Your dad isn't confused. If you think about it, you showed the second grandmother and the virgin girl fake account books. If taxes are collected again at this time, but they are collected according to the usual rate, and the taxes and fees are suddenly reduced, won't it become a self-exposing shortcomings and slapping oneself? No one knows that there is a problem with the previous account. Cao said.
"That's right, it's just that this money ......," Sister Ge Qiu pouted.
"You're stupid, isn't Miss Zhen coming to Nanjing to take charge now, besides, it's because of her goods store and grain store that she moved away. Your father-in-law's account can withdraw a large amount of money, and the tax matter, if it is not enough, it should naturally be posted by the virgin girl. Cao said.
As he spoke, Cao Shi turned his face to look around again, and then whispered in Sister Ge Qiu's ear: "Your father said, let you tell your mother-in-law to talk about it, and collect it according to the fee on this tax stamp, and then he will only take one percent of the extra money." The rest will be returned to you, so that every year, there will be no small sum of money in your pocket. Your mother-in-law must have done it. ”
Hearing Cao's words, Sister Ge Qiu's eyes lit up, and it was really good. Sui Ji frowned again: "No." The past is better to say that it has passed, but it is unreasonable. It's handed over, what else can I do. But this is now. The virgin girl is not a fool, she is just a couple with other families, and she can see that something is wrong, this method will not work. ”
"Who said that, your father has already considered that the Li family had an accident on Gongmo back then. Therefore, after that, the imperial court imposed punitive taxes and fees on the Li family. Otherwise, with the end of the year of the Li family, it would have passed after a while, how could it be possible to suddenly withdraw from the Nanjing market, precisely because of this punitive tax and fee. Therefore, when the time comes, I will talk about this, and the chaste girl will have nothing to say. "That Cao said.
"Is there such a thing? That's great, okay, I'll go tell my mother-in-law. Sister Ge Qiu happily took the tax stamp, as if she had seen the silver of the white flowers in her pocket.
"Sister-in-law Zhengping, why do you talk at the door and don't invite people into the house?" At this time, Zhenniang brought the little girl over, and the road at the door was blocked, so she had to stop far away.
"No, no, I'll just pass by, listen to the noise of Yao Niangzi in front of me, and nag a few words." Cao Shi hurriedly said, and then made way for Zhen Niang.
"Oh." Zhen Niang nodded slightly, and went directly into the house without saying more.
"This is a virgin girl, she doesn't look very old, I heard that she is only sixteen years old." Cao Shi looked at Zhen Niang's background and said to Sister Ge Qiu.
"It's originally a girl, it's nothing big, it's just relying on the second grandmother and the old lady to support her behind her back." Sister Ge Qiu also looked back at Zhenniang's back and said disdainfully. A woman who had a woman's life and was withdrawn from her relatives came to her and held up her head, which is really hell.
"That's, that's, our sister Qiu is the most capable." Cao Shi nodded again and again.
"Okay, you go back, we're talking at this door, maybe Li Zhenniang thinks we're talking about her." At this time, Sister Ge Qiu waved her hand at the Cao family again, then turned around and closed the door with a bang.
"Phew, I really think I'm a character, it's nothing big about other people's virgin girls, but it can make your dead ghost daddy deflated." Cao Shi muttered to Sister Ge Qiu in the door with a disdainful face.
She suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Sister Ge Qiu's mother back then, and finally survived until Sister Ge Qiu's mother left. Because of Sister Ge Qiu's unwillingness, she can't straighten it out, and she is always just a second mother. Therefore, although she stammers with Sister Ge Qiu on the surface, she will not really take Sister Ge Qiu to heart in her heart.
Then Cao turned around and left.
When Ge Shi entered the house, he went to find his mother-in-law Fang Shi in a hurry, and showed Fang Shi the tax stamp.
"Phew, what kind of heart is your father, someone else has a patrol in-laws, and he always tries to pay less taxes. Hey, your dad is good, this is a hollow out of his mind to come to me to get money, is this an in-law or an enemy? Fang Clan angrily smashed the tax stamp in Ge's face.
"Hehe, my mother-in-law wants to pay less at this time, but when I asked my father to make fake accounts, I tried to remember as much as possible." Sister Ge Qiu said angrily.
Cao asked Sister Ge Qiu to take the shortcomings, and she didn't reply for a while, but she just bit to death. You can't come with false accounts.
Later, Sister Ge Qiu told her mother-in-law what Cao said.
"Oops. It's been like this, all these years. I forgot all about it. Fang slapped his face.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went together again, and finally decided to follow the tax stamp.
"I'm afraid that my father-in-law won't agree." Sister Ge Qiu said.
Speaking of this family, she is a little afraid of this father-in-law. Li Jingming has always been rigorous in his daily work, and her father is also a little polite to Li Jingming, so Sister Ge Qiu doesn't dare to use any tricks in front of Li Jingming. Therefore, he had to come forward with his mother-in-law, Fang.
And the things of the world. Born with one thing and one thing, mother-in-law Fang is not such a capable person, but she is also a good hand at handling her father-in-law. In short, everything is as long as the mother-in-law says it and makes trouble, the father-in-law rarely does not accept it.
"It's okay, it's up to me." Fang patted his chest.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark.
Fang Clan stood at the door and looked out vigorously, and it was not easy. Waiting for Li Jingming to enter the house, he stepped forward and helped Li Jingming to put on his clothes and change into civilian clothes. Attentive and stammering.
"What's the matter?" Li Jingming sighed, he knew in his heart that his old wife was not so good-tempered on weekdays. He who has nothing to do with his diligence must have something to ask for.
Fang then took out another tax stamp. Then repeat what Sister Ge Qiu said before.
"No, do you really think that the virgin girl is a fool? Last year. The Li family's grandson made such a big fuss, and it was all up to the virgin girl, and she was fine. I've been holding that heart these days, just waiting for her to send us down, you're good, and you have to hit the muzzle, do you really want me to be expelled from the Li family? Li Jingming looked at the tax stamp, almost jumped up in fright, and said angrily.
"How can you be so godly? I see that in the past few days, the virgin girl has nothing else to see us, all of them are smiling and grinning, in the end it is a girl who is only sixteen years old, even if she has some ability, it is in Huizhou, and when she arrives in Nanjing, I am afraid that she will not have so much knowledge. You're less suspicious here, anyway, I've got the final say on this matter. Fang pouted.
"Nope." Li Jingming denied it again, and seeing that the Fang clan didn't care, he knew that it was not okay not to scare her, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You...... If you insist on going your own way, I will divorce you. ”
"Divorce me? Li Jingming, do you dare to say that you divorced me? Did you know that I saved your life? The Li family? You are loyal to the Li family, but how did the Li family treat you? Hearing Li Jingming say that he would divorce his wife, Fang's eyes immediately turned red.
"Back then, you did your best for the Li family, and every year you didn't put a penny more into your pocket, and all of it was sent to the sect, but at most, you got a word of hard work from the old lady. But what's the use of just talking about hard work, it was freezing that year, you were sick in bed and I don't know who was going to work, I was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. But the family's money for medical treatment was gone, and the money from Yanzong was sent away, so I had to write to Yanzong, begging them to bring some money to come and treat you......"
Speaking of this, Fang Clan gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "But what's going on over there?" If it weren't for the fact that Doctor Li passed by, it would not be counted as giving you free treatment, and even the medicine money would be waived, and you would have lived. In short, I can see that what loyalty, what duty is fake, only money is real, when you encounter difficulties, loyalty, duty can't help you, only money in your pocket can help you. Fang said and cried again.
"You...... It's all gone, why are you still talking about this? Maybe there was something wrong with the sect back then, but is it right now? It's not a thing to go on like this, I always have a feeling that the virgin girl is waiting for us to start, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is no situation that is not exposed. Li Jingming sighed at Fang.
For a moment, the room was silent.
"Dad, mother, it's time to eat." The flowers were chirping outside.
"Let's go, let's eat." Li Jingming pulled Fang's family. Two one after the other went out.
At this time, under the window on the other side, Zhenniang sighed and turned to leave, she came to find Uncle Jingming, and asked him to find a few people to remake a set of counters tomorrow.
The counter in the Ming Dynasty was too high, and customers stood outside, often showing only one head, Zhen Niang was not used to it, and she also felt that it was not conducive to communicating with customers, so she wanted to change the counter.
It's just that I didn't expect that when I just came over, I passed by the window and heard such a translation, so it was not good to go to Uncle Jingming again. So he turned around and went back to the house, thinking about what Fang had just said.
