Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eyes Are Bright

Fu Yuanling has always been calm, he dare not and will not take over such a big industry, if he is not too eager for his father's love in his dream, he will not be jealous and give in many times.

But now she is not the confused Fu Yuanling, holding the hot tea cup to warm the palm of her hand, and sitting on the combed back chair at the head of the main hall with an elegant posture, not in a hurry or impatient, calm and relaxed, so that Gu Dayong's impatient mood slowly calmed down.

"Last year, the renovation of the house is the errand of the head of the grange, the original thing is not bad, the house on the village is mostly reinforced with adobe to install wooden beams, last year it was found that the wooden beams were rotted by the rain, and the roof was removed and replaced with new beams, but I didn't expect the merchants who sold the wooden beams to us to cheat, and the bad top was good, so there was such a thing."

"Steward Gu, you didn't check again when you buy wooden beams?"

Gu Dayong's face was more like a bitter melon, "Yes, I have checked it, but the merchant's methods of fraud are very powerful, and I have also deceived them." ”

As soon as he said this, Zang's old face turned red, how embarrassing it was to do this.

Fu Yuanling really didn't expect this to be the result, she thought that someone was deliberately greedy for ink, so she was silent for a moment and asked, "Which firm's wooden beams did you buy?" ”

It's not a big deal, but it can't be counted like that.

Gu Dayong: ......

"It's a passing merchant."

Fu Yuanling really didn't know what to say.

"At that time, I saw that the wood was thick and heavy, and the merchant said that something had happened to his hometown, and he was in a hurry to go home, so he dealt with it at a low price. I thought that the price would save a lot of money, and that the wood was a little difficult for a few young men to lift, so I bought ten of them after consulting with the head of the Grange. But this heavy snow pressed down, and all the wooden beams were broken, and I went to see the head of the grange for myself, and the wooden beams were ...... The wooden beams are all broken wood mortise and tenon stubble, usually nothing at all, but once the weight is heavy, it can't stand it. The people who do this work are so skilled that if the wood is not broken, they would not be able to see it at all. ”

Fu Yuanling carefully recalled the account books handed in by Zhuangzi last year, why she was a little impressed, it was because it didn't cost much to renovate the house, and she still felt that the ancient steward had some skills at that time.

How do you know that being greedy for a small price almost caused a big disaster.

These two people are also really honest, and the rest of the money is not put in their pockets, and it is clearly written in the account book.

She looked at Gu Dayong, "Although this matter is said to be an unintentional mistake, but if you hurt someone, you can't be counted like this, how about punishing you and the first two months of the grange and compensating the injured tenants?" ”

Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he couldn't sit still in charge of this incident, but he didn't expect to be fined only two months?

At the moment, he was grateful and hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you girl, thank you girl, in the future, I will be more careful and serious with the head of the grange and never make such a mistake again." ”

"Tomorrow I will have people visit the injured tenants, and this heavy snow must also be prepared in advance, and if there is a disaster, we must also be prepared."

"Girl, don't worry, we don't starve to death if we have surplus food in our village."

"It's cold and cold, you have to work hard, don't freeze to death, Curry I remember that there is still some cotton, take out seventy percent and send it to the house, and leave the rest here for you to standby."

"Yes, the rules of our house have always been, the warehouse can not be without food for a day, speaking of cotton is also a coincidence, I bought some from the Qiao family, a big merchant in the northwest a month ago, and I thought that I would send the New Year's goods to the house and then return to the girl." Speaking of this time, Gu Dayong was quite complacent, who thought that there would be a snow disaster this winter, and this cotton was of great use.

Fu Yuanling's heart moved when he heard this, and his eyes lit up.
