Chapter 26: The Accounts Are Empty

It's just that if this matter has been known to everyone, then Qi Ning's reputation has been ruined, and she can only marry into the Jingnan Palace in the future, and she can't change it.

Qi Ning immediately explained: "Mother, you misunderstood, although there is a time, it is not as she said, when Qi Jin wanted to stab me with scissors, it was the prince who suddenly appeared to rescue, otherwise I would not be able to stand in front of you at this moment, and then there was another appearance of the sixth prince deliberately favoring Fang Yuan and wanting to condemn me, and the prince said this out of good intentions." ”

Qi Ning's words were convincing, and he was not arrogant or impatient, and said the original at this time, which made Qi Jin, who had been crying, a little unable to pretend.

"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, it's clear that the two of them are embarrassed and want to bully their daughter, so the six princes came forward."

The Qi family heard that the two imperial relatives had already come forward, so it could be seen that there was a bit of a big fuss at this time, if it was introduced into the palace, it would only damage the face of their Anguo Mansion, and it would make the two daughters who had not left the cabinet a laughing stock.

Qi Shi also rarely became serious, and turned around and scolded Qi Jin: "Jin'er, you are just extravagant and wasteful on weekdays, why do you still take so many silver taels from the account room, do you know that now we have reduced our food and clothing, and you are not allowed to go to the account room to get silver tickets in the future." ”

Qi Jin had never received such instructions from his mother, and he looked at her aggrievedly, wanting to be appeased by his mother.

Qi Ning also rarely let her be stiff for a while, took out the newly copied account book in her arms and threw it into Qi Jin's hand: "You take a good look at what you have done, but in January, since you used 10,000 taels of silver in the account room, this is the amount of money spent by our entire mansion for half a year, and it is because of this that our account room is empty now." ”

Qi Jin disagreed: "After we are also martyrs, the emperor will give us silver taels in the future." ”

"You wake me up, the emperor only gave me a case of silver, no month but a thousand taels, you took away four thousand two days ago, do you have a brain, when you sit and eat empty, this house will reduce the use, and in the future, you can't invite people, you just wait to wash and cook by yourself, and in the end there is no food, we have to work in the fields, do you want to."

Qi Ning didn't know the importance of this silver tael in the past, he just thought about the safety of the family, but he didn't know that there would be more places to use the silver tael in the future, and there was money to make the ghost grind, and how many people used the silver tael to settle all kinds of major events.

So it is necessary for her to let this stupid Qi Jin, who is so stupid, understand how much she has used, and the situation that has appeared in this mansion today is because of her.

Qi Jin didn't believe it, turned around and asked his mother: "Mother, this is her deliberately scaring me, how can we be so downcast after we are loyal ministers." ”

"Jin'er, why don't you understand, we are now a burden to the emperor, our Anguo Mansion has long had no men to serve the country, just ask for it, do you think it's you, but do you want to raise a bunch of useless people like this, and if you let the emperor know that you are so extravagant and wasteful, maybe even this case of silver will be taken back, and then we may really have no silver to use."

In the past, the Qi family has always indulged this daughter, and has never asked for her, as long as she sees her happy, he doesn't care how much she uses, so he basically didn't check the account room.

Now when it comes to the need for silver taels, I find that there is not much silver left in the Anguo Mansion now, and on the eighth day of today's first month, I only received a few days of silver, and today Qi Jin took away eight hundred taels, but he used all the money for this month, so that they can eat and use what they want in the future.

Therefore, the Qi family can only be coarse tea and light rice, and originally thought of persuading Qi Jin after he came back, but he didn't know that she was extravagant, and even helped Fang Yuan buy hundreds of taels of hairpins.

Even if this Qi family is not good, if she wants to please the old lady of the Fang family, she will not take such a thing as a favor, not to mention that she also knows that Fang Yuan is not an ordinary person, only Qi Jin is too young and easy to coax.

It is only after weighing it that the burden of managing the account room will be handed over to Qi Ning, and with her current temperament, she may really be able to manage it well.

Qi Jin thought that her mother would stand on her side as always and obey her words, but her mother was on Qi Ning's side this time.

"Mother, don't you love your daughter? That's why I am to blame. ”

Hearing that Qi Jin didn't know this remorse, he even thought that he was partial to Qi Ning, and he also had hatred in his heart, and he only blamed himself for spoiling her in the past.

Qi Shi took her hands and scolded: "I really don't know the height of the sky, the girl who spoiled you in the past, is it possible that you can't understand what I said, we don't have silver taels in the account, what do you eat in the future, these subordinates will leave, do you really want to work in the fields by yourself as your sister said, do you want to do your own laundry and cooking?" ”

Perhaps she was also frightened by Qi's angry expression, and saw that the account book in her hand was empty, Qi Jin was also a little scared in her heart, she had been pampered since she was a child, how could she do the life of those low-level people.

"Mother, I don't want to work and farm, and I don't want to do laundry and cook by myself."

Qi Ning took the opportunity to say: "If you don't want to, from today onwards, you can't go to the account room to get a penny, come to me if you need anything, and immediately go to your room to take out all the valuable things, how can you use so much at your young age, I will take it." ”

Qi Jin heard that she wanted to take away her own things, and he didn't accept her to say this: "Why do you want to say this, it has always been my mother's decision." ”

Qi Ning sneered: "It's because my mother is in charge that I will let you mess around, let me tell you, while others don't know the situation of our Anguo Mansion, we can also say that we will exchange more silver taels and come back, if it is known that we are desperate, we will only lower the price, and then we will lose all our money." ”

Qi Ning roughly calculated the gold and silver jewelry in Qi Jin's house, including the antiques that were bought, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, as long as they were replaced, they could slowly support the use of the house, otherwise they really didn't know what to do in the future.

Qi naturally couldn't bear it, but he nodded when he thought of this situation: "Jin'er, you just listen to your sister's words, I have already called her to manage this account room in the future, so you have to cooperate with her." ”

Qi Jin's eyes widened, if Qi Ning was allowed to take charge of the bookkeeper's account, he would really not let himself take away a penny, even if he wanted to save some, but there was no need for this.

"Mother, why do you want to hand it over to her, your daughter can also be in charge."

"Then you tell me how much you spend in the kitchen every month, how much labor you spend, how much you buy daily necessities, you use shadows every day, but if you can say the same, I will willingly give you this account room, if you can't say it, then listen to me."
