Zhenguo Mansion, before dawn, someone knocked on the door.

In the impatient voice of the gatehouse, the city guard who came to report the news was able to inform the gatekeeper of the matter, and then hurried back to the south gate without stopping.

Who doesn't know that the Li family is now a place of right and wrong, if it weren't for his fate, he would not come to the Li family to wade into troubled waters.

After the porter received the news that Mu Shaojun had sent the caravan off, he twitched his beard, pursed his mouth, and scolded disdainfully.

"Ge Laozi, just this little thing to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep. Mu Jianuo's big trading house, the huge team shows that the goods are valuable, and there is something strange about his young master of the Mu family attaching importance to seeing him off in person. Who is this city gate captain on duty today? Trying to curry favor with our Li family is not such a fool. Why are trivial things worth the favor of my Li family? ”

As a result, the news that should have been presented to Li Kuang as soon as possible was suppressed by the porter. I forgot to look back.

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Kuang got up and freshened up. It's not that he Li Kuang is sleepy and lazy, he is a person who practices martial arts, "practicing Sanjiu in winter, practicing Sanfu in summer" is a common thing, but in the past few days he has trouble sleeping for his eldest son, and last night he slept until he met a mysterious person, so he slept until three poles in the sun.

"Master, do you want to eat first or wait for lunch to use together?"

Li Wei has been busy for most of the day, and the housekeeping at home is a little not optimistic, and when he heard the next person tell him that the master was awake, he hurriedly ran over and planned to report the news.

But after being a housekeeper for many years, he can't be too upright, so he starts by caring about the master's body.

"Well, that's fine. Eat something first. After all, time is not forgiving. If you go back 20 years, the old man will not eat three meals, and he can still tear the tiger with his bare hands. ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is still as majestic as he was back then. ”

"Alright, don't be a sycophant. Tell me what you're here to say. Did the Mu family do it?"

The corner of the housekeeper Li Wei's mouth twitched, and he secretly thought: You also know that it is a sycophant. The house is almost out of the pot.

Originally, according to the current income of the Li Mansion, it was replaced by three years ago, at least it was worry-free.

But there is a good saying: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult.

The Li family has enjoyed the comfortable life of the past few years, and let them go back to the days when they ate bran three years ago, how can they stand it!

I didn't see the second young grandmother early in the morning, don't you dislike the bird's nest is not slippery enough!

Li Wei almost wanted to scold!

When the eldest and youngest grandmother was in charge of internal affairs, Zhou Ling ate what she ate, which was equivalent to one-third of the expenses of the Li Mansion. The bird's nest eaten is the bird's nest of the Linghai blood bird's nest that the Mu family brought from the East China Sea.

Since Zhou Ling took charge of internal affairs, her expenses alone are seventy percent of the daily expenses of the Li Mansion, but without the channels of the Mu family, she can only buy Mohai Moyan's bird's nest, one is high-grade, the other is medium, can the taste not be bad?

But even this medium Mo Yan also needs 200 taels of silver, and the daily consumption of all the people in the Li Mansion is only more than 100 taels.

But just like that, the second young grandmother was not satisfied. What do you do if you let him Li Wei.

"Master, the family's belongings are almost at the bottom. ”

"What!"

Li Kuang, who just wanted to pick up the teacup and drink tea, was startled, looked at Li Wei in shock, and asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about? I also read the account half a month ago, our Li family still has more than 30,000 taels of cash, plus those industries, even if they are suppressed by the Mu family, how much can they make a little money, right? How did it bottom out, did you read it right?"

Li Wei didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told how the second young grandmother had consumed 30,000 taels extravagantly and wastefully in the past half a month.

Li Kuang slapped his hand, pointed at Li Wei and scolded: "Are you a pig? Why didn't you say it earlier! Why didn't you stop her!"

"Do I dare me, she is the master, I am the servant, she is not even afraid of the young grandmother, she is still afraid of me?"

Li Wei muttered seemingly unintentionally, just enough for Li Kuang to hear.

Li Kuang's heart twitched when he heard it, and he wanted to be angry and embarrassed.

How can I refute the stupid things I did.

knew that the second daughter-in-law was so wasteful, so he didn't dare to let her manage the money.

"How much money is left in the house now?"

"Less than a thousand taels. ”

"What!"

Li Kuang was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair!

More than 30,000 taels of silver, how did the second daughter-in-law, a loser, spend it! 2,000 taels a day?

When the eldest daughter-in-law was here, the Li family didn't have that much spending, right?

I remember that three years ago, the Li family's daily consumption was only more than ten taels.

His annual income is only more than 3,000 taels, which is a lifetime for ordinary people, but for a person like him who has to support a large family, it is barely enough.

But in the officialdom, socializing, pulling relationships, and talking about pomp, as soon as these are pulled, then the Li family will have to tighten their belts and live.

Even if the two sons are in the office, it has not been alleviated after having Yulu, but the expenses of the father and son are greater.

It wasn't until the eldest married the little girl of the Mu family that the situation of the Li family improved.

Why is it that it has only been more than half a month since the little girl of the Mu family is gone, and the family has no money!

Is the second daughter-in-law a vampire?

"Quick, notify me, from today onwards, the Li family will reduce their consumption, as well as the family's business, and those who lose money will be dealt with quickly and rent out the store. At least until the start of the expedition in mid-March!"

Li Kuang made a decision immediately and gave the correct instructions, but the housekeeper Li Wei said faintly, like the last straw that crushed the camel.

"Sir, it's late. Just now, when I came, the second young grandmother had already brought the last bit of silver in the account, saying that she was going to a banquet for several duchesses and princesses. said that he wanted to find a title for the second young master and a marquis......"

"What did you say!"

Li Kuang's eyes widened, his eyes bloodshot, almost bursting out.

He trembled and pointed at the housekeeper Li Wei, covered his chest with one hand, couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and directly sprayed Li Wei.

Li Wei was also stupid, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Kuang, and then shouted: "Come on! Go and ask the doctor, the old man vomited blood! No! Go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor, please the imperial doctor!"

Li Wei swore that he definitely didn't mean to be angry with the master, he just wanted to express this matter euphemistically, just for fear that the old man would be angry and hurt himself. Unexpectedly, in the end, the old man was angry.

So, these two young grandmothers are really a scourge!

Li Wei, who didn't have the slightest sense of throwing the pot, just put the responsibility for making Li Kuang vomit blood to Zhou Ling, who didn't know about it.

At the same time, the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce, under the command of Mo Qing, began to destroy the Li family's business.

For example, hiring someone to ruin the reputation of the Li family's shop, and then finding someone to buy something and then discovering a fake, this kind of method is everything.

He has only one purpose, to faithfully carry out the young master's orders.

Within three days, the Li family's industry will be defeated!
