Chapter 169: The Old Lady Bleeds
The husband and wife talked deeply overnight, and Song Yi also had an in-depth understanding of the life experience of the real king, and he could also understand his feelings for the Du family. Thinking that he had come over like this over the years, Song Yi felt a little distressed.
As for the Du family, Song Yi didn't have any good feelings. also no longer throws rat bogeys, for fear of embarrassing Zhu Xi.
Anyway, the two sides have already been separated, and there is no need to pretend to be a family anymore.
It has been said that the greatest punishment for the enemy is to ignore them. Zhu Xi did this, but Song Yi felt that he didn't have the same mind as him.
Song Yi has always believed in "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
Gui's mother's kindness, Song Yi wrote it down, and she will definitely repay it; And Du's hatred, Song Yi also empathizes, and must get it back for his man. There is also Zhu Yuanchuan's hatred......
It is said that it takes seven inches to beat a snake, and to beat a person is to hit the weakness.
What does the old lady Du care about the most? Song Yi is going to pick Du's weakness to fight.
The Du family has always been thinking about the title of the true king, as well as the status of the old lady of the true king's mansion.
Wouldn't it be great if she could be allowed to show her true form in public?
Right now, there's a good opportunity. Du's birthday banquet, the famous families in the capital are coming, isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Song Yi thought about it in the house all night and finally had an idea.
The next day, Song Yi went to Qingsong Courtyard with the account book.
"Old lady, these are the accounts that the eldest lady gave me a few days ago. I've finished reading it, so I'm here to return it now."
"Oh? So many, have you read them all? ”
"Yes, old lady"
"You're a diligent man. I thought you young people didn't like these boring things, but I didn't expect that you had already finished reading it in just half a month. ”
"Old lady, these are just dead things. It's just a few numbers, as long as you learn to read the account book, there is nothing difficult. But ......"
"But what? If you have something to say, it is" Du Shi saw that Song Yi was a little hesitant, so he let Song Yi have something to say.
"Old lady, I looked at the accounts of the past five years, there are many mistakes in them, and the numbers are not right, is there any inside story?" Song Yi didn't plan to hide it, anyway, everyone knew it, she deliberately said it in front of Du Shi.
Du Shi raised his eyes to look at Song Yi, and when he saw the other party's inquiring attitude, he also felt that he was thinking too much.
"Questions? What kind of problem? Tell me about it."
"Old lady, this account book was originally managed by the eldest lady, and I just started to take over, and I shouldn't have said that these were. But the old lady recently arranged for me to hold a birthday banquet, and it is inevitable that I will have to know about the funds of the palace. But there's a big problem with this account book."
"There are 20 shops in Kyoto, all of which are in excellent locations in the city, so it stands to reason that they should be very profitable. But in the account books of the past five years, the store's annual profit has dropped sharply, and last year it was even at a loss, and money was posted into it. There is also the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, which has been smooth in recent years, and there should be a good harvest, but our Zhuangzi can't collect the rent, and we have to reach out to the house to ask for silver. Isn't that too weird? ”
"To say that there are one or two that don't make money for some reason, it can be regarded as a saying. But the shops and Zhuangzi of the True King's Mansion make less money and lose more money, which is obviously unreasonable. There are also the daily and monthly expenses of the palace, not to mention the extravagance and waste, that is, the inventory of the treasury and the monthly silver of the next person are not clear. I even found that the number of people receiving money each month did not match the number of people on the roster. Does this mean that someone has fraudulently claimed it? ”
"Also, I calculated privately, and there is not much money left in the account books of the government, and it won't last long."
Song Yi said one by one.
Du Shi understood in his heart, but pretended to be confused and said, "Really? How can this be reasonable, how does this Wang family manage things, I don't understand any small accounts. This is also to blame me, I am older, my mind is not clear, I want to steal a little leisure, and spend less energy. Plus, before, you didn't get started. I saw that Wang was a clever person, so I handed over the housekeeping to her. Unexpectedly, she is a fool, and she doesn't even see things that you can understand. ”
Du Shi peeked at Song Yi, and saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he said in a fake manner, "Listen to what you just meant, the silver in the house is not enough to spend?" ”
"Old lady, according to the account given to me by the eldest lady, the silver in the account is only enough for our daily expenses, which can't last for half a year" Song Yi didn't want to play Tai Chi with Du Shi, so he said it directly.
"So? Then I won't have a birthday party. There are difficulties in the palace, so I naturally have to share the joys and sorrows with the palace. If at this time, you still have to do a lot of things for me, an old man, I really can't say it."
Song Yi sneered in his heart, but his face still didn't move, "Old lady, where is this?" No matter how difficult our palace is, there is no reason to be harsh on you. How much money can you spend on your birthday party? Left and right are just buying some banquets. It's just ......"
When Du Shi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "It's just what?" ”
"It's just that I originally planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to change the things in the old lady and several ladies' rooms and add some joyful things. But now, it can't. I also want to ask the old lady whether she has opened a warehouse and selected some objects suitable for such an occasion from the original things? ”
"That's what you meant," Du finally understood Song Yi's intention to come today.
Although he agreed to hand over the account books in the mansion to Song Yi, he did not ask the Wang family to hand over the key to the treasury. Du Shi thought about it and understood that over the years, he asked the Wang family to help the housekeeper and not touch these accounts, just so that he could get rid of the pot in the future. Even if the later princess saw something wrong, Du Shi could get out of the way.
Therefore, Du Shi is not worried that the account matter will involve him at all.
Can the key to the storeroom? The treasury of the real king's mansion has a roster, and since the opening of the mansion, every object, from the screen and the shadow wall to the small tea cup and dishes, has not been omitted.
Although she has had people exchange fake objects for real things. But if you look closely, you can still see the flaws. When the time comes, it's not like you can't cover up the past without knowing it.
But Song Yi's reason just now, Du Shi couldn't find an excuse to refuse.
If she knew that there was no money in the account, and held a banquet for her, and she didn't take out the key to the treasury, wouldn't she be honest and make people think that she was deliberately making things difficult and weak-hearted?
This time, asking Song Yi to organize a birthday banquet is, in the final analysis, a test for her.
The old lady pondered for a while, and Song Yi was not in a hurry, waiting with peace of mind.
Du Shi saw that Song Yi was calm and calm, and knew that if she didn't give her an explanation today, she was afraid that she would pick on her.
Aren't the "shows" she arranged in vain?
Du Shi thought for a moment, "You think well. It's all a big family, a big family, and a big family. It's really hard for you to have such a big stall inside and outside the True King's Mansion. I think the comments you just made are very good. There are ready-made things in the house, and you don't need to re-purchase everything, which can also reduce the pressure on you."
"I didn't want to waste it so much, but your sisters said that they could take this opportunity to make you appear in front of everyone, and I agreed. Now I hear you say, this Wang clan has managed the real palace into such a mess, and it is really difficult for you. You just said that it would be nice to find some festive objects from the big storeroom, in my opinion. Just invite some familiar friends and family, and you don't have to change everything new. It's just that there are too many things in the big warehouse of the palace, I'm afraid that you don't know clearly, and you can't find where the things are, which delays things. Simply, this time it's for my old woman's birthday party, and I think I'm setting an example. I don't have to use the public stuff anymore, I still have some good-looking stuff in my private vault. Wait a minute, I'll let Mother Yin open it, and you can pick something that catches your eye."
Song Yi listened, how could he not know Du Shi's thoughts.
Today, too, she knew that the key to the treasury would not come back. But I said this just to tell the Du family that they should not think of themselves as fools. Let them be afraid.
"Then the granddaughter-in-law will thank the old lady first. I don't take much, but I take some of the furnishings in important places. Returned after use"
Song Yi said this, but in his heart, he thought that this was just to collect some interest first, and then let them "return to Zhao" later.
Mrs. Du's heart ached, thinking of her treasures, she only hoped that this was just the capital to invest.
It is said that "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf", this time it should be ruined to avoid disasters.
