Qiao Mu sent his daughter-in-law away, and asked the servants to move the account book to the window, and after rewarding them with dozens of dollars and sending them away, he sat down at the window and looked through the account book attentively.

But the more I flipped, the more I felt that something was wrong.

There is nothing difficult about the ancient ledger for Qiao Mu, it is easy to understand, but it is more cumbersome and time-consuming, and even she is very clear about the various fraudulent methods of the ancient ledger, of course, those fraudulent methods still need to be carefully sorted out to know where the corruption is, but the price column behind it is very obvious.

One dollar for an egg, one tael of silver for a chicken, half a tael of silver for a fish, thirty taels of bird's nest, twenty wen for a courgette......

Just kidding, even if Qiao Mu hasn't been to the vegetable market in this world in person, he also knows that it is impossible to sell eggs for a penny, and the guys in Wulin Gaiden have a monthly income, only two dollars a month.

Feelings, their monthly salary is only enough to buy two eggs, not to tell the story, just say that the monthly money of the maid in their house, the monthly money of the first-class maid in their house is only two taels of silver, and the feelings of them finally sit in the position of the first-class maid, just for the monthly money of twenty eggs a month, crazy This is.

After watching it for a while, Qiao Mu was in no mood to continue watching, she was thinking, should she copy the second house before the separation, or copy it after the separation?

There are pros and cons to both approaches, and the pros and cons are not very equal, and overall, the pros outweigh the disadvantages, but the arbor must pick out the one that has the least impact.

Because if it makes too much trouble, it will not only easily affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion, but also easily offend the major mansion stewards in the capital, after all, if their family spreads the news of how much silver their family has copied from the hands of the people in the mansion, won't other families suspect how much their subordinates have embezzled? As the saying goes, Hades is easy to mess with, but imps are difficult, and those subordinates are obviously the imps on the side of Hades.

It is better not to be offended or not to be offended.

In this way, it is naturally better to raid the house first and then divide the family property, and it is also necessary to avoid the dissatisfaction of those concubines after the division of the family, seeing that they have obtained a large amount of assets from copying the house, making noise and shouting, and making the city full of wind and rain.

"That's it, let's copy it before splitting the family, at least copy those slaves' families, and it won't look too embarrassing when dividing the family, and you can give those concubines a little bit of family property, so as not to be entangled."

Qiao Mu thought about it for a while, and decided to wait until he finished copying the next family before splitting the family, otherwise there would be nothing else in this house except the fields and shops, and it would inevitably be too chilling.

After making up his mind, of course, Qiao Mu could not use the people in the house to raid the house, but immediately ordered the maid to call the people in the most famous Ya Xing in the capital, and bought thirty male ** servants from the Ya Xing who were strong, courageous, and not very willing to be slaves and maids, and promised them in front of them that after they helped to raid the house, they would return their free bodies, and then let people lock all the doors in the house and start a comprehensive raid.

For a while, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and ghosts cried wolves.

……

Waryanin

Wen Qilian was eating breakfast in the house, and when he heard the noise and crying outside the courtyard, he immediately stood up in surprise and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

Why can't you live in peace in the house?

"Husband, don't go, this is the old lady tidying up the housework, she notified me yesterday, let me not care about the sound outside, please rest, drink your blue stem rice porridge with peace of mind, don't worry about it."

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry at all because Qiao Mu had already passed her anger yesterday, put down the bowl of white fungus soup in his hand, and persuaded with a chuckle.

When Wen Qilian heard that his mother was handling the housework at home, he naturally didn't say anything, but he still asked curiously, "What is it for?" ”

"I don't know, but it's about the housekeeper's corruption, my mother only told me yesterday that she found a lot of problems when she checked the accounts, and she needs to clean up the moths in our house, you don't have to be too curious, it's quiet outside later, and I think my mother-in-law will tell you about the situation."

Xiao didn't know much, but Qiao Mu revealed a few words to her yesterday, so naturally there was no way to explain too much about this matter, so she could only say a few words that she understood.

"Also, it's just that the mother's housekeeper hasn't made any big moves for decades, and this time I don't know which one annoyed the mother, and I must be punished severely!"

Wen Qilian actually knew almost nothing about the housekeeper in the back house, so at this time, he only guessed which one had done something wrong and annoyed his mother, so he would cause this mess, and he didn't think much about it.

Xiao just chuckled and didn't explain much.

Housekeeper for three or four years, how could she not know that the cats in the account book are greasy, but those housekeepers are all old people in the house, she is a daughter-in-law, and there is a mother-in-law on it, so it is not good to send those people directly to the government, so she can only endure these years, and now that she has a mother-in-law to remove those moths, she will be much easier when she takes care of the house in the future.

While they were eating, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard, and a man stood at the gate of the courtyard where they lived, and shouted:

"So that the eldest lord knows, on the order of the old lady, come to clear the servant's assets, and hope that the eldest lord will not blame him later, and open the door of convenience."

As soon as the words fell, three or four healthy servants broke in, and under the guidance of one person, they skipped the house of Wen Qilian and his wife Xiao, and searched all the other rooms in their courtyard except for the two of them.

Now he caught three grandmothers, four stewards and two big girls from this courtyard.

Wen Qilian, who moved quickly, was a little dumbfounded, and wanted to reprimand, but he thought that this was his mother's order, so in the end, after his lips moved slightly, he continued to drink porridge in silence.

The courtyard of the current Hou Ye of the Hou Mansion is all treated like this, not to mention the other concubines, naturally they are all treated the same, the yards that should be raided are raided, and the people who should be arrested are all tied up.

This movement has obviously affected everyone in the entire Hou Mansion, Wen Qilian finished drinking the japonica rice porridge, and immediately hurried to Wenxi Hall with his wife Xiao, wanting to ask what was going on, and the other eight concubines who did not go to the court, or did not become officials, also hurried over, wanting to ask the truth, so as not to be afraid.
