Chapter 234: Ledger
The other two are just asking what to do about the things on the account, after all, there are a lot of oil and water fishing, and now they are starting to panic.
"Now that the eldest lady has been in charge of the house for a few days, do you know what to do?"
The three of them replied in unison: "The slave understands. ”
Chapter 14: The Seven Days of Dominance
It just so happened that the three of them met Lu Qiao when they came out, and Lu Qiao conveyed Qin Xue Chuyu's original words to the three of them, as soon as the three of them looked at me, I looked at you, and then one of them came out and said with a smile: "I am waiting to check the accounts with my aunt, and now that the check is completed, I will go over now, and I will go now." ”
North Courtyard.
Qin Xuechu's eyes fell on the window, his index finger tapped on the table, and the steward who heard it "dong dong" panicked in his heart.
The three of them secretly glanced at each other, and the man in the middle straightened his waist and spoke boldly: "I don't know what is the important matter for the eldest lady to send the minions over?" There are many things in the account room, but you can't do without slaves. ”
Qin Xuechu's eyes swept over him coldly, and her red lips opened lightly: "Now that my father has ordered me to temporarily take charge of the mansion, the three of you are in charge of things, and go to Aunt Li's place, what does it mean?" Do you take your father's commands as a priority? Qin Xue was stunned for a moment, and her gaze swept over the three of them, "Are you loyal to the Qin Mansion or Aunt Li, I'm very curious." ”
The three stewards heard a "chuckle" in their hearts, and they all replied with a forced smile: "What is the eldest lady saying this, the minions are naturally loyal to the Qin Mansion." ”
"Oh? What do you regard your father's commands? Why didn't you take action, but ran away to the grounded courtyard, this is your loyalty to the Qin Mansion and your father? Qin Xuechu tapped her fingers on the table, looking indifferent, on the other hand, the three in charge, I don't know when a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Every word is fine, but the three stewards are not easy to answer for a while. said that they were loyal to the Qin Mansion, Master Qin, but they went to Aunt Li's place early in the morning, not Qin Xuechu's courtyard with this eldest lady. If you say that you are loyal to Aunt Li, then your road to stewardship should also come to an end.
The head of the accounting room, Steward Zhang, wiped a cold sweat and said, "The minions are going to check the accounts, and they will bring the account books to the eldest lady for a while." The eldest lady only needs to give an order, and the slave will do her best. ”
As long as you can continue to stay in this position, you can endure the humiliation.
Qin Xue was just a scene, so that they had a number in their hearts, so he didn't continue to make things difficult for them, waved his hand, and said, "I hope that what Steward Zhang said is from the bottom of his heart, let's go back first." ”
Several people bowed and retreated, and behind the smiles was the abuse of Qin Xue Chuyu.
Qin Xue Chu naturally knew their falsehood, and he didn't care, only when the person disappeared from sight, did he open his mouth and order: "Is there a deputy manager in the account and kitchen for purchase?" ”
Green Yi nodded and replied, "Yes, there are two deputy stewards to help manage the personnel." ”
"That's fine," Qin Xue smiled at the beginning of the day, and instructed her: "Green Yi, you have been with me for some time, I have taken you as a confidant, and now I have an important thing to tell you, you must not be silent when you do it, and when the matter is done, I will mention you to be a first-class maid." Qin Xuechuyu waved her hand and asked her to come closer, the green clothes knew that this matter was Qin Xuechuyu's test of her own ability, and it was also her trust in herself, she stepped forward and listened carefully, Qin Xuechuyu whispered: "You go... Such... Such... Yes, don't let anyone else know......"
Early the next morning, represented by Steward Zhang, the account books of the three stewards were delivered. Steward Zhang was followed by two people, both holding thick ledgers in their hands.
Qin Xue Chu raised his eyes and saw the sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his heart suddenly became clear, he was afraid that he had already discussed with the Li family to fool himself.
Qin Xue Chu glanced at Lu Qiao, Lu Qiao understood, and only heard her speak: "It's hard to work hard Steward Zhang, just put the account book on this table." I also bothered Steward Zhang to talk to my young lady about the things on the account, the old man ordered the young lady to be a housekeeper, and he had to do a good job, if the old man knew that Steward Zhang was so dedicated, he should also be rewarded. ”
Steward Zhang listened to her words, and when he thought of the scene of being rewarded by the master, he was in a much better mood. He knew the status of this eldest lady in the master's heart, although he was Aunt Li's person, but it would not be a big deal to help her on the surface, so he said with Steward Zhang and said with a smile: "Where is it, the eldest lady has taken over the affairs of the family for the first time, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask the slave." ”
Qin Xuechuyu raised her eyelids to look at him and smiled back, "Okay." ”
Qin Xuechu picked up an account book in his hand and read it carefully, Steward Zhang's face was silent, but his heart was nervous, he changed those few missing accounts into fake account books overnight, and now he was afraid that Qin Xuechuyu would see something, seeing Qin Xuechuyu put down the account book and took a copy from another stack, Steward Zhang's hanging heart fell.
Qin Xuechu quietly took in Steward Zhang's performance, and then took out Fang Cai's account book, and said unintentionally: "Steward Zhang, there is something I think is a little strange, and I can't say anything, you come and take a look." ”
When Steward Zhang heard that he was named, he "chuckled" in his heart, but he still smiled and stepped forward to take the account book to look at it, pretending to look at it carefully before saying, "Miss, there is no mistake here." ”
Qin Xuechuyu raised his hand and pointed to a place, "Oh, I used to buy candles for two cents a piece, why do you need so much money or four cents?" Qin Xue flickered her fingers at the beginning of the onion, and then landed in another place, a little unclear, "How can the expenses in August be only one hundred and ten taels?" You see, in other months, it is at least one hundred and forty taels of silver. Is it too much in the past or ......"
Steward Zhang's face changed and changed, how could he be so careless, and what he didn't expect was that this eldest lady who had studied medicine for many years actually understood the market price, which was really a chess game.
"Miss... The price of the imperial capital is still different from that of the remote mountainous area. Steward Zhang grabbed Qin Xuechuyu's previous sentence and replied, "The government spent frugally that month, and this was only one hundred and ten taels of silver. ”
"Oh." Qin Xue was at the beginning of the road, and when she saw that she was looking at the accounts elsewhere, Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xuechuyu flipped through it casually, what has she experienced in the end, where can she not see that people's performance is covering up, Qin Xuechuyu pretended to be tired, so as to send Steward Zhang back.
Since he will send the account book so soon, there must be something greasy in this account, looking at Steward Zhang's performance, I am afraid that even this account book is fake!
Qin Xue wrinkled her eyebrows at the beginning, but she thought of the days when she studied medicine, she didn't calculate to calculate, and she was able to immerse herself in her hobbies, and there were still people... Feiyun Xuan.
"I guess that the Li family has already made them make fake accounts, with the Li family's temperament, how can they not make some money? This time, let's keep quiet, take all their mistakes in our hands, and then eliminate them all. Qin Xue Chuyu's eyes were cold and clear, with an innate momentum.
Lu Qiao and Green Yi responded in unison: "The slave understands. ”
Lu Qiao wanted to speak and stopped, his lips opened and closed, and finally he asked, "Miss, what is the matter between you and Aunt Li and Second Miss... That's what I did...... Ah, the slave and maid lost her words, and the young lady forgives her sins. After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake.
Qin Xue thought at first, did she really show her hatred for the mother and daughter of the West Courtyard so obviously?
