Chapter 21 The Shopkeeper's Ledger
Qi Ning sighed, in the face of her mother's connivance, she was helpless, and she also knew that it was useless to say more, only by finding a way to control the money would it not flow out easily.
"If my mother agrees, how about letting my daughter take charge of the accounts in the future, I can get acquainted with Uncle Zhang first, and I can help us save expenses in the future, and it is also for the sake of our Anguo Mansion."
The reason why Qi Ning made such a request at this moment was also because her mother saw the amount of Qi Jin's excess on the account book, which at least could arouse some of her anger.
However, seeing Qi's hesitation, she persuaded again: "Mother, you also see the current situation of the Anguo Mansion, it has reached the point of saving money, if you let Jin'er exceed the quota like this, if you let the emperor know in the future, wouldn't you think that we are extravagant and wasteful, in case we are blamed for not sending us silver in the future, there are dozens of people up and down in this mansion, but how can it be good." ”
Qi Ning wanted to tell her about this powerful relationship, so that she must listen to her own words.
Qi is right to think about it, if it continues like this, it will indeed aggravate the situation, if it really lets the people in the palace know that they are so useful to the Anguo Mansion, the emperor will definitely be angry.
"Then you will follow Uncle Zhang to learn, and you will be in charge for the time being." The Qi family was purely helpless, if there was a sensible person to help take care of the Anguo Mansion, she would naturally be willing.
With the permission of her mother, Qi Ning finally felt at ease, this is just the beginning of the step, she has to slowly control everything in the Anguo Mansion into her own hands, so as to better protect them.
Qi Ning immediately asked people to inquire where Qi Jin was, and when she learned that she and Fang Yuan were choosing jewelry on the first floor of the capital, they chased them out in a hurry.
The first floor of the capital is the place where the officials and nobles gather, the first floor is the favorite jewelry of the noble ladies, as well as the rarest rouge gouache, all kinds of items are expensive, so the people who can enter must be nobles.
And this second floor is the best tea house, the tea leaves are all new products of the year, and even the water for boiling tea is snow water collected from the sky.
So as soon as you come in and go out on the first floor, the money bag will always be empty.
Qi Ning finally understood why Qi Jin spent so much silver taels every time, and when she found this stinky girl, she had to clean her up.
"Jin'er, I think that jade bracelet is really suitable for you, it seems that you are more graceful and luxurious, especially with this cute little face, it is really more beautiful."
Fang Yuan has always had a sweet mouth, and she looks gentle, she speaks softly, and she always picks good words to say, this Qi Jin naturally likes to listen.
Qi Jin looked at a tassel hairpin, took it to Fang Yuan's head and gestured: "Sister, you like this hairpin, sister will give it to you." ”
Qi Jin always called his sister affectionately when he called Fang Yuan, but when he treated his sister, he did look like he was dancing with teeth and claws, and even felt that calling Qi Ning's eldest sister was a shame to himself.
But she can't do too much in front of her mother, otherwise her mother won't love her, where will she get the silver.
Fang Yuan actually took a fancy to the hairpin, but just made an embarrassed look and shook her head: "This is not good, let your sister break the bill again." ”
It can be seen that this is not the first time that Qi Jin has sent something to her, and even the silver taels she spent in the past were coaxed away by Fang Yuan.
It's just that such a person has no brains, as long as anyone says something nice, he will listen to whom, one is the eldest sister who sincerely thinks about her, she is a wicked person, and she can't wait to get rid of her.
One is a cousin who is trying to get benefits from her, but just a few sweet words make her willing to bow down.
"It's not a waste of money, I like to stay with you with my sister the most, and I feel very happy."
"Jin'er, you are really kind and cute, my sister was also very happy when she was with you, I prepared a gift for you at the Fang family, and I will go back with me to get it when you are free."
Fang Yuan would always use some small favors to move Qi Jin, making her completely biased towards her side.
Qi Jin was happy when he heard that, and hurriedly asked the boss to wrap the jade bracelet and hairpin.
"Boss, how many silver taels are there?"
The boss took out a beautiful box to fill her with jewelry, and replied with a smile: "Second Miss Qi, this is not expensive, just seven hundred taels of silver." ”
Qi Jin took out the silver ticket without hesitation, that posture was very skillful, and she had no concept of this silver ticket, anyway, her mother allowed her to go to the account room every day to withdraw money, she could as much as she wanted.
However, as soon as she took out the silver ticket, she was snatched back by the person behind her the next moment.
Qi Jin thought that she had met a thief, and hurriedly turned around to see that it was the eldest sister she didn't want to see, she yelled angrily: "What are you doing, why are you snatching my silver ticket." ”
Qi Jin's voice was originally a little sharp, so when he roared loudly, it attracted a lot of attention.
Qi Ning put the silver ticket away before replying to her: "I don't want to be embarrassed here, you go back with me." ”
"Aren't you ashamed to be like that? You didn't see that I was about to pay, this is something I fancied, I want to buy it, you give me back the silver ticket right away. Qi Jin felt too embarrassed, everyone watched, she couldn't buy anything and went shopping for a long time, let her be so mixed up in the future.
Qi Ning also held back her temperament, just now she was watching her and Fang Yuan choose from behind, and she could hear the words of the two of them clearly.
Now it seems that this Fang Yuan is more like her eldest sister, and she has become her enemy.
Fang Yuan hurriedly spoke: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you, if you have something to say, don't be so fierce, if you want to blame me, it's all me who wants to come here to shop." ”
Fang Yuan originally wanted to show her tactfulness and skillfulness, but who would have thought that Qi Ning sneered: "Jin'er is only thirteen years old, how can she understand these things, naturally it is your instigation that will let her come to such a luxurious place, don't be virtuous and virtuous, what kind of person you are when you close the door, I know very well." ”
Although Qi Ning's words were not loud, they made Fang Yuan's face change greatly after hearing it, no wonder her mother and grandmother said that she was crazy after she went back, but she didn't expect to be so crazy.
"Ning'er, how can you spew blood like this, if you say this, you will accuse me of bringing Jin'er badly, then I will not meet her in the future, don't blame her, she is young and simple-minded, but I don't want you to like to fight for things like this."
Fang Yuan wanted to protect her reputation, so she couldn't argue with a dead girl like Qi Ning in public, but the two sisters could.
