Chapter 142: Old Things Add New Money
When Feng Niang came back with Hongqian, the first thing she did was to find the small box that Gu Shi said.
When I opened it, Gu really saved a lot of capital.
If it weren't for the fact that this incident happened suddenly, I'm afraid that the Gu family would not have touched these coins even if they died.
After using the silver and calling a few girls to tell where to go, Feng Niang began to pull Hongqian to drink tea.
Hong Qian was reluctant at first, but she was happy to think that if she didn't care what her girl had told her to do before coming here, she was happy.
A few little girls acted quite quickly, Feng Niang checked the list one by one, and unconsciously went to half of Gu's small box.
With Feng Niang's understanding of the Gu family, she must have gritted her teeth for a while.
She unceremoniously called Hong Qian for help, and large and small things were placed on the floor of the entire main house of Hanqing Courtyard.
Shen Anyan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded even if she was mentally prepared, this woman really had the ability to borrow so many things from the front and back of the warehouse.
There are some things that take a long time to find......
Looking at the new part of the object, Shen Anyan tacitly corresponded to the account book.
When Shen Anyan finished writing the last account, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
But that breath was picked up in the next moment, when Shen Anyan picked up another account book.
There are one and there are two, and Shen Anyan just caught that it was impossible for the Gu family to covet so many things from the Shen family in front of the old lady.
Gu Shi knew very well the old lady's attitude towards him.
"Since it's so simple, then these books, please also ask Aunt Gu to check them."
After worrying about the accounts for a few days, how could Shen Anyan easily let go of the opportunity to fill in the culprit.
After a few times, the contents of the three makeup boxes hidden by Gu Niang were used cleanly.
How could Shen Anyan not know what Gu was borrowing these antiques for?
It's just because the old lady doesn't see much of the accounts of antique objects, so it's so confusing?
If these antiques are sold regularly, they can be sold for sky-high prices.
Thinking about how much Gu can redeem back, it is also an improper channel to sell.
It's just that the more this happens, the more expensive it is, and the ransom is at least several times higher.
These days, when Shen Anyan was in charge of the Shen family's shop, he could be regarded as having a clear understanding of those things in the business market.
No businessman is willing to do anything loss-making.
If the ransom is the same as the mortgage, what do people rely on to make money?
Gu Shi was only glad that it was not a dead girl at this time, if she really couldn't get it back, that dead girl might have other tricks to fix her.
With the old lady in charge, Shen Anyan's account book turmoil quickly passed.
It's just that as this matter came to an end, the old lady began to settle the score.
"I don't know if Aunt Gu can explain to me, an old woman, what is the use of you having such a big yard and needing so many antiques? You must know that all these things are put out, and even Hanqing Courtyard can't put them down. ”
Hanqing Courtyard is the largest courtyard in Shen Mansion, followed by Bibo Courtyard.
Shen Anyan still has basic privileges as a concubine.
Gu couldn't laugh anymore, so he had to look at the old lady in a regular manner and said: "The slave family just looks at those things to be pleasing, who knows that they borrowed one after another from the treasury, and they forgot to pay it back." ”
said that he was wronged, but he didn't call himself me.
The first time Aunt Gu set her identity right, it turned out to be because of a bunch of antiques that were defiled by her?
The old lady's eyes didn't fluctuate in the slightest: "So, that's the reason why you made such a foolish account?" This is just an antique, I haven't had time to read the account book of other things, you should know what the deficit looks like, if you really feel that you still have a little conscience, make up for it as soon as possible. ”
Shen Anyan smiled at Gu, pretending to be well-behaved: "Aunt Gu don't worry, I will take a good look at every transaction in the account book, so that I won't slander Aunt Gu." ”
Gu Shi secretly gritted his teeth, only regretting that he had handed over all the account books to Shen Anyan so neatly.
The ledger has been deposited for many years, so much, and cumbersome, she thought that Shen Anyan couldn't handle it, and it won't be long before Shen Anyan had to honestly return the ledger to her.
But who knows, Shen Anyan can not only read the account book, but also read it very skillfully, and in less than a month's effort, all the pickles in his account book were pulled out by Shen Anyan, and there was no mistake.
Looking at Gu's face, Shen Anyan knew what Gu was thinking, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Aunt Gu is so worried, is she afraid that she won't be able to fill these loopholes at all? Although these loopholes are small and don't matter on weekdays, but Aunt Gu has to think about the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will have to marry a good family in the future, Aunt Gu doesn't want the Shen family to be unable to afford the dowry, right? ”
Gu's eyes widened, and he said in a rough voice: "What kind of joke are the three girls, the eldest girl is married, and it is natural for the Shen Mansion to give a dowry, if it is really relying on the dowry that I brought myself, how can I do it?" ”
Gu felt that what Shen Anyan said was no different from what he said.
After all, from the old lady's point of view, although Shen Anqi and Shen Anni are both concubines, they can be regarded as having been raised by their side since childhood, and they have some feelings, how can they treat those two badly?
What's more, except that Shen Anyan is not a descendant, there is simply no place that will be worse than Shen Anyan.
Hearing this, the old lady glanced at the Gu family and said in a deep voice: "What did you do yourself, didn't you count how much the Shen family's accounts were missing?" Now think of a dowry? Now that even Qi Yuan has lost his official position, what else can the Shen family have besides some old pounds? You don't pay attention to what you do on weekdays, who is to blame? ”
The old lady's words made Gu's tears fall directly, and she looked at the old lady pitifully.
"The old lady doesn't know, when this power is not in her hands, she really doesn't know the difficulty of being in power, and the concubine has to have more intersections with those noble wives to find a husband for the two girls, the two girls in my family are miserable, and there is no second master around to take care of them, only I, the mother, can rely on."
"So that's the reason why you lost most of the Shen family's accounts?"
Shen Anyan's tone unconsciously sharpened a little.
She really didn't think about telling the old lady how much the Gu family was missing.
Today's Shen family seems to be luxurious and wealthy, but in fact, the inside has long been hollowed out by the Gu family, and the antiques recovered are just the tip of the iceberg.
What's even more annoying is the accounts in the account room, tens of millions of taels of gold at every turn, how many Shen families are enough to squeeze it out?
The old lady frowned, turned her gaze to Shen Anyan, and said in a serious tone: "Third girl, tell your grandmother the truth, how much money did the Gu family lose to the Shen family?" How much money does the Shen family have now? ”
The old lady's question was sharp, and Shen Anyan hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say.
"How much is the specific deficit, and the mother might as well ask Aunt Gu directly? After all, it's Aunt Gu who does these things, isn't it? ”
