Text Chapter 346 Settle accounts
Qiao Lixi looked at the few people who had added drama to herself amusedly.
In order to enter the "Wutong Pavilion", it is really painstaking to spare no effort to find all kinds of excuses.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, it's just that the 'Wutong Pavilion' has its own guards, and I don't think these guards who come out of the barracks will be worse than the guards. Of course, Hou Ye has Hou Ye's kindness, since it is the overall arrangement of the Hou Mansion, I will not make sense, but they can only be responsible for the security of the periphery of the 'Wutong Pavilion'. After all, it's not a master's person, so I don't feel at ease. I said before I left, I want to be careful and cautious, it's not aimed at anyone, it's really unpredictable, if Hou Ye is dissatisfied, I can't help it. ”
"It's really not oil and salt!" Dingguohou had killing intent on his body.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if the Hou Ye wants to kick me out of the Hou Mansion or leave me, because this is only the Hou Ye's will, not the master's."
So, your decision really didn't affect her at all.
Chased away?
Divorce wife?
Heh, she can't wait to leave this ghost place, but if this is the case, if Gu Jinzhen doesn't come back, Old Madam Lu will directly fight with the Marquis of Dingguo.
Dingguohou is such an instigated person, but he can't stand being scared.
"Hou Ye is angry," as a qualified pillow person, Xie Yuhua, the Feng family gave Dingguo Hou a step in time, "Qiao Qiao is straight, speaks directly, doesn't know how to be tactful, she is also kind, since Brother Zhen told her so, she also did what Brother Zhen wanted." ”
Therefore, the root of one is still in Gu Jinzhen.
Dingguohou's face really darkened a little.
"Since you said so, then do what you want, it's just that what happened to the 'Wutong Pavilion', what happened to you......"
Wanting to talk about the Feng family, Qiao Lixi only smiled slightly, "It's all fate, and it has nothing to do with outsiders." ”
Oh, that's good.
A dark glow swept across Feng's eyes.
Qiao Lixi didn't plan to stop there, she glanced at the astragalus.
The latter took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the eldest grandmother beside Feng.
"This is ......" just glanced at it, and Feng's eyes tightened.
Dingguo Hou didn't know why, but he had been paying attention to the Feng family, so he noticed the change in her mood for the first time.
Over the years, the Feng family has been calm no matter what happens to him, and even a few times he can calmly help him give advice at critical times, it can be said that he has never seen the Feng family's emotions exposed.
"Jojo, what do you mean by that?" Feng put the paper on the table.
"These are my mother-in-law's dowry, according to the rules of the dynasty, they are all reserved for my mother-in-law's children, and my mother-in-law only has one son, so it should be handed over to my father. Before, the decision and the next appointment, the lord used a part, these are my mother-in-law's dowry list, and the rest of the part, even with the mother-in-law's dowry Zhuangzi and shop. Before, the master was in southern Xinjiang all the year round, and he was young, so he didn't take care of this, but now, the master is also married, so he wants to get back his mother-in-law's things. ”
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we are greedy for your mother-in-law's dowry? I'm a marquis, and I'm still greedy for these things? Because of his weak heart, Dingguo Hou was the first to fight back.
Qiao Yixi said meekly: "Naturally not, before the master left, he asked me to take these things back, after all, over the years, my mother-in-law's dowry has been used by the Hou Mansion, and there is no reason to maintain the expenses of the family until now." ”
Although there is no separation, Gu Jinzhen is already married, has his own wife and children to raise, and it is only natural to get his own things back.
"What Qiao Qiao said is that I originally wanted to discuss these things with you, but I just thought that you had just entered the door, and you didn't understand the rules of the backyard of the famous family, let alone take care of the backhouse. So I thought, I'll let you study with me for a while, and then I'll give you things when you can get started. Feng bit her cheeks, and only she knew how much self-control she used to keep from getting angry when she said this.
The most odious thing is that Qiao Lixi actually said that for so many years, the Hou Mansion has relied on Shen Yuan's dowry to maintain daily expenses and expenses.
This is a euphemistic reminder to her that her step-room, who entered the door without any dowry, is not as good as a dead Yuan match?
Since she sat in the position of the Marquis of Dingguo, she has never been so despised!
Qiao Yixi smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed, "Madame has a heart, although I don't learn the rules well, but I am still shrewd in doing business and settling accounts, after all, I was born as a merchant girl, and I still have this ability." Besides, if the lord takes back his mother-in-law's dowry, there is no loss to the Hou Mansion, after all, the lady also came in with the dowry. ”
So, just run the house with your own dowry.
Really!
Feng tightened his hand under his cuffs.
The freshly trimmed nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the stinging pain made her extremely sober, and she stared at Qiao Lixi for a moment.
"Sister-in-law, how can you say that?" Chang Yulian, who had never had a sense of existence and was very aggrieved, asked, "You mean, the Hou Mansion has lived on your mother-in-law's dowry for so many years?" For so many years, despite the rumors and pressure outside, my mother has done her best to help her eldest brother take care of her ex-mother-in-law's dowry, also so that her eldest brother can live a better life. I don't know how much your words will make my mother sad. ”
Feng Shi appropriately showed a relieved expression, because Chang Yulian was sensible.
Qiao Yixi nodded suddenly in understanding, "So that's the case, it seems that I was really misled by my master and misunderstood my wife." ”
"If a family doesn't talk to two families, it's good that you can understand."
Qiao Yixi nodded, "It's me who misunderstood Madame's painstaking efforts, please forgive Madame." It turns out that you have been helping my grandfather take care of my mother-in-law's dowry all these years. ”
Something seems wrong with this.
Before the Feng family could react further, Qiao Lixi said quickly: "Since this is the case, then Mrs., please review the account books of the shop and the account books of Zhuangzi, and liquidate the income of these years, the master is also a sensible person, and the income of the shop over the years will be taken out of 10%, and the marquis and his wife will be honored." I know that Mrs. must be resigned, but the master is not the kind of ungrateful person, Mrs. has helped him take care of the shop all these years, there is no merit and hard work, and it is misunderstood by outsiders, these, we should be filial, Zhuangzi on the income of these years, these years sent to the Hou Mansion, please also convert into silver, or leave a percent, when we are filial, the rest of the rest, if Mrs. is not too troublesome, please convert it into a silver ticket, of course, cash silver is also possible. ”
Anyway, I don't dislike it.
Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak!
Chang Yulian was shocked to realize that she was obviously helping the Feng family, but she was used by Qiao Lixi, and this time, the Hou Mansion lost even more.
Originally, Qiao Yixi just wanted to go back to the shop and Zhuangzi, just because of her sentence "help take care of it", now she not only has to hand over the shop and Zhuangzi, but also hand over the income of these years!
More than ten years of income, what a lot of silver!
You must know that Shen Yuan's dowry shop and Zhuangzi are both good things, the rent of the leased shop, and the annual income of the shop, not only maintain the expenses of the Hou Mansion, but also take it out to give favors, that is, the harvest on the Zhuangzi, not to mention the ones sold, which are sent to the Hou Mansion every month, are worth nearly a thousand taels of silver, and it costs one or two thousand taels of silver just to eat a year, which is just ordinary food, not counting the banquet, not counting others!
Qiao Lixi actually dared to speak!
Knowing that she was in trouble, Chang Yulian didn't dare to open her mouth, for fear that if she said something more, Qiao Yuxi would even have to calculate the interest!
"So, you're pushing us?" Dingguo Hou has a fiery temperament, and he is not as roundabout as the Feng family in front of Qiao Lixi, so he asked directly.
"Master Hou misunderstood," Qiao Yixi looked sincere, "I know that Mrs. is doing this, not for her own reputation and face, but for the sake of her father, we naturally want to fulfill Mrs. 's reputation, so please also ask Mrs. to sort out the account books and let people send them to 'Wutong Pavilion', in fact, my grandmother also has account books, it stands to reason that there is no need to be so troublesome, but we believe in Mrs., so for the time being, Mrs.'s account books shall prevail." ”
"Lu also has an account book there?" Feng was shocked.
Qiao Yixi hurriedly explained: "Madame is afraid that she doesn't know, my mother-in-law's dowry shop and Zhuangzi have two sets of account books, and the one you got from the shopkeeper and steward is only one of them, and one set is in another place. Mrs. also knew that her grandfather and grandmother were cautious, and after the death of her mother-in-law, the second elder was worried that her grandfather was young and was deceived by his subordinates, so he used two sets of ledgers. Madame later took over the shop and Zhuangzi, thinking that it would be convenient to manage, and they were replaced by your people, but my grandfather and grandmother still executed two sets of books. Mrs. doesn't have to worry about the problem of the account book, everyone knows the income of the shop and the Zhuangzi, and the expenses of the Hou Mansion are also recorded, so there will be no problem that the accounts are not matched. ”
It's weird if it's right!
Feng gritted his teeth.
Although Shen Yuan's dowry shop and Zhuangzi have been replaced by her people, she has been guarding against Zhenyuan Marquis and Gu Jinzhen, so the account books on the surface are all fake, only what she has in her hand is real, so she also has two sets of account books in her hand.
If the fake account book is given to Qiao Yixi, the account will definitely not match, but she can give the real account book to Qiao Yixi, and she is unwilling.
"What, do you think the Hou Mansion shouldn't use those proceeds? Brother Zhen is also a member of the Hou Mansion, and he should contribute to the Hou Mansion! Dingguo Hou said bluffingly.
Qiao Yixi shook her head, "What Hou Ye said is right, Ye is a person from the Hou Mansion, and he should contribute to the Hou Mansion, but I don't know how much effort the second and third rooms have contributed to the Hou Mansion over the years, and how much silver has been used." They are all people from the Hou Mansion, so they naturally have to be treated equally, and how much they have paid, we have also contributed as much, which can be deducted from the income of these years. ”
"You!"
Qiao Yixi sneered.
Exert oneself?
Out of the silver?
Heh, which one of the people in the Hou Mansion is not sucking the blood of Shen Yuan and Gu Jinzhen, and he is embarrassed to say his strength in front of her!
"In the third month after the death of my mother-in-law, Mrs. entered the door, that is to say, from the moment Mrs. entered the door, it was Mrs. Dowry to maintain the expenses of the Hou Mansion, and the expenses of the two months in the middle could be deducted from the income at that time.
