Chapter 237: Silver Charcoal

"Slave, slave, slave......" Hua Pozi muttered, unable to continue.

Mrs. Zhang was only afraid that she would say something that she shouldn't say, so she hurriedly pleaded on the side: "Young lady, those fruits are not very good, and Mrs. Hua is afraid that she will be wasted in vain, so she ......."

"The fruit belongs to the Mu family, whether it is good or bad, it also has the owner, you take it out and sell it without authorization, not only do you not know the master, but you also put the money in your own purse, and now it is checked by me, what do you say." Gu Qingzhu glanced at her coldly.

A mother-in-law who is in charge of flowers and trees, dares to sell the products in the garden privately, without the acquiescence of the manager, no one has the courage, she looked around at the mother-in-law standing beside her, all of them looked panicked, but I am afraid that they have all shared the money.

"Crooked melons and cracked dates can't be sold for much money, only a few taels of silver, and the wine is gone after eating indiscriminately with his mother-in-law." The flower woman's face was blue and white.

She has relied on this subsidy all these years, and she has just bought a house for her son, and she is about to have a happy event.

Gu Qingzhu smiled faintly: "Really?" Today, there are more than a few taels of silver for the bamboo shoots, how much you have swallowed, I am too lazy to check, but it doesn't mean that I can't find out, I will give you two ways now, one, you are still working in the garden, but this year all the expenses in the garden are borne by you, how to dispose of the fruit in the future, the master has the final say, two, I immediately called someone to report to the official, let the yamen estimate the loss, you compensate according to the price, and the whole family drove out of the house! ”

No one will choose the second way, Hua Pozi looked at Mrs. Zhang with a begging for help, asking her to vomit so much money at once, it is better to let her vomit blood.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her whitely, looking at her blatantly like this at this time, is it because Gu Qingzhu is blind, can't you see the connection between them!

Staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said: "It's all because the slaves and maids are not strict in their control that they let her take advantage of the loopholes, and the young lady is merciful and willing to give her a way to live." As she spoke, she grabbed the collar of the flower woman and urged, "Thank you young lady for not hurrying up!" ”

The flower woman bowed hastily and muttered a word of thanks in a vague manner.

Gu Qingzhu didn't care about her thanks, and she didn't care that Mrs. Zhang deliberately left her alone, and only let Mrs. Hua take the blame, she just wanted her goal to be achieved.

A group of people went forward again, and when they crossed a small bridge, they saw a flowerbed that covered a large area, and a row of seven or eight houses was built in the morning sun, and the windows were so small that they did not look like people living in them.

"Two coincidences, two coincidences." Mrs. Zhang stood outside the fence wall of the flower garden and called.

After a while, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, dark-skinned sturdy girl came out of the house, she wore an apron and sleeves on her arms, looked up and saw so many people, and said with some surprise: "Aunt Zhang? ”

"Open the door quickly, the young lady will stop by and take a look at you." Mrs. Zhang shook the door made of bamboo, and said impatiently, "It's just some flowers and plants, locked all day long, like a thief." ”

"Auntie said lightly, how can you do it without locking the door, last time I had two pots of good orchids here, I reported to you, and I haven't found it yet." Erqiao took out the key to open the door, and said with some resentment.

"Hey, you girl who admits death, it's just two pots of grass, which master is happy to see it, and there are also places to move to the house, and it's worth talking about from last year to this year!" Mrs. Zhang patted her and pushed the door to invite Gu Qingzhu in.

At this time, there are almost no flowers in the flower garden except for the unspirited Yueji, and Mrs. Zhang led Gu Qingzhu into the house like a treasure: "Young lady, you see, these are all skillfully served, and they look pleasing." ”

Lift the heavy door curtain, a hot air gushes out, this house is burning charcoal, because it burns the worst charcoal, so there is a chimney through the small window on the north side to the outside, seven or eight rooms, the inside is open, the inside is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, camellias, moons, orchids are all budding, obviously than the outside of the open planting earlier flowering.

Walking to the last room, Gu Qingzhu looked at the various orchids on the ground and asked, "Erqiao likes to raise orchids very much?" ”

The dark-skinned girl rubbed the mud on her hands, and said a little embarrassedly: "Young lady Hui, slaves and maids like to plant flowers and plants, no matter what, but the master in the magnolia courtyard prefers orchids, so I pay attention to cultivating more, and I don't want to plant a room." ”

"You don't even have a place to plug in this house, do you still want to plant?" Gu Qingzhu turned his head and saw some impatiens seedlings that had just been separated, and asked curiously.

Seeing her say this, Erqiao suddenly remembered and said: "The young lady happened to come, I beg you something, build another row of houses for the flower garden, I have been mentioning it to Aunt Zhang for a long time, but it is ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhang interrupted her abruptly: "Make it for you, and when the weather is warm, I will definitely make it for you." ”

"Really?" Erqiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't enough houses, how could she be willing to leave those moons in the wind and snow to freeze.

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You kid, you still don't believe your Aunt Zhang's words." ”

Gu Qingzhu pointed to a budding camellia and said, "Erqiao, you can send me a pot to Ruihua Courtyard tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Yes, young lady." Erqiao nodded shyly.

Everyone left the flower garden, and then went inside, which was the residence of the girls and women in the wind garden.

Gu Qingzhu paused, turned his head to look at the mothers-in-law behind him, and said by name: "Mama Wei, I'm a little thirsty after walking here, let's go to your place and sit down, and ask for a cup of tea by the way." ”

Wei Pozi's old face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but it was not easy to attack, so she had to respond, walked a few steps, crossed Gu Qingzhu, and led the way.

A group of several people, before they entered the house, they heard the sound of a few people throwing dice and gambling money.

"I've won, give money, give money!"

"Why are you winning again? It's a big deal today, hurry up and chop a duck to drink! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, after a while, when Mama Wei comes, ask her if she still eats the lo-mei of the Ximen store."

"Anyway, Mama Wei has been gone for so long, and there is ...... in my aunt's house."

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her head was about to explode, she shouted loudly and kicked the door open: "Bastard thing, gambling and drinking during the day, don't you want to do it!" ”

"Oh, Mama Wei, aren't we waiting for you to buy Biyun yarn......" a mother-in-law came up and said.

But before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Wei called out on her face with an ear scraper: "An aunt is also worthy of Biyun yarn!" ”

The mother-in-law was knocked unconscious, and she couldn't react for a while, covering the red marks on her face and said, "This is not what I said yesterday......"

Seeing Gu Qingzhu walking in with someone, the mother-in-law couldn't say a word anymore.

"Looks like you're having a good time." Gu Qingzhu looked at the messy desktop.

The table was full of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as a jar of wine and four bowls, and the other two mothers-in-law dusted off the crumbs on their bodies in a panic, and trotted to Gu Qingzhu to salute.

"Young lady, the mothers-in-law are old and occasionally lazy, please forgive one or two." Wei Pozi said stubbornly.

"Now that you're old, just go back to retire early, you are in charge of the things used in the house here, although they are not valuable objects, but they can't be sold by people like fruits." Gu Qingzhu said casually.

"A few slaves and maids are occasionally presumptuous today, we don't dare anymore, we look at the warehouse every day, there is never one thing missing, and please don't let the young lady out of us." The three mothers-in-law knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Gu Qingzhu: "Really? It is rare that you have been so faithful to your duty, and to prove that you are true, show me the books of the treasury. ”

"Ah...... Appear...... Right now? A woman looked up, and her mouth opened wide in surprise.

Gu Qingzhu snorted impatiently: "Yes, it's now!" ”

"This ...... Wei ...... "That mother-in-law was speechless, and the blood on her face seemed to be drained, and the white was miserable and terrifying.

Seeing that the person was still grinding, Gu Qingzhu said coldly: "You don't have to ask Mama Wei, if you don't take it out, I have to let people search it." ”

"Go get it!" Wei Pozi said two words from between her teeth.

She bet that Gu Qingzhu wouldn't really check her warehouse, the things she managed were messy and messy, not to mention letting Gu Qingzhu take inventory, even she couldn't figure out how much was left.

The three mothers-in-law took out a few corner account books from a corner, and the things on the table before were all cleaned up by the mother-in-law of Ruihua Courtyard and thrown out, and Gu Qingzhu sat down next to the table.

After flipping through a few pages, Gu Qingzhu didn't raise his head and said, "Chunying, you take your mother-in-law to count the silver silk charcoal." ”

"Yes." Chunying answered and went down with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wei didn't know why she picked the silver silk charcoal for checking, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she had to pull out the key on her waist and open the warehouse door.

The mother-in-law of Ruihua Yuan has long been dissatisfied with the mother-in-law in Fengyuan who has foreign wealth, and now they are riveting their efforts to investigate, eager to pull everyone off the horse and laugh at them fiercely, so they investigated very carefully.

After a while, Chunying went back and forth: "Young lady, there are still seventy catties and three taels of silver silk charcoal." ”

Gu Qingzhu turned to ask Mrs. Wei: "Silver silk charcoal, is it only piled up in this place?" ”

"Silver silk charcoal is a valuable thing, a load of a hundred taels of silver, where do I dare to put it indiscriminately." Wei Pozi muttered.

Gu Qingzhu turned to the last page of the account book and said, "You have thirty catties in your account, can it be that the silver silk charcoal will come out on its own?" ”

"This ...... It's normal to have a little error! Wei Pozi argued.

"Even if it is an error, it is more than the account, but you have less and more material, what does this mean?" Gu Qingzhu narrowed his apricot eyes and asked.

Wei Pozi was forced to ask by Gu Qingzhu in a cold sweat: "That...... That's the mother-in-law doing things carefully. ”

Gu Qingzhu followed her words and said, "Do you want to say that the mothers-in-law have deducted the weight in each courtyard and secretly saved it, ready to sell it for money and swallow it privately?" ”

"No, no, no, no!" Wei Pozi denied it again and again.

"I see you've sold it more than once!" Gu Qingzhu looked at her with awe-inspiring eyes.

"The young lady has no empirical evidence, so she can't talk nonsense and slander me for being an old woman!" Mrs. Wei was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.

Gu Qingzhu closed the account book and said: "I have been in Mufu for almost a month, and the Ruihua Courtyard has only burned charcoal twice, once roasted venison, and once the earth dragon was broken, and it seems that it is all the inventory in the courtyard, and I have not heard of receiving a new one, but since the beginning of winter, you have recorded that the Ruihua Courtyard has received fifty catties of charcoal every month, and Zuo Yun's signature is not the same, and so on, I don't need to check the charcoal in other courtyards, but I can also imagine it." ”

Mrs. Wei was like being immersed in ice water from head to toe, she trembled her teeth and fought, wasn't the girl in front of her a village girl who didn't know anything in the countryside? Didn't Lu often scold her? What kind of elixir did you take today, or did you get some kind of guidance from a master, and you broke the mother-in-law with a head and a face in the Wind Garden!
