183 five thousand taels of silver

"The princess is the princess, what women don't let the eyebrows, don't mention this again. It is easy to be caught by others, "Even if Wang Jingshu has a thousand furrows in her heart, she can't display her ambitions, what ambitions are all said by men, as women, they can only guard one acre and three points of land to teach their husbands and children." She is married to the royal family, and the royal family does not allow women to interfere in politics, "If the prince is not there, why bother me with this?" ”

Her life can only be confined in the backyard of Ning Wangfu's deep house.

But if you are a man, you must fight on the battlefield and make achievements.

"Yes, yes, the servant just said it casually, and the master and me are here, who can listen to it?" He also knew that the master was cautious, "Now that it is King Ning's mansion, in his own courtyard, the master doesn't have to be so cautious anymore." If you can't talk in your own room, can you rest assured in this life? ”

Wang Jingshu smiled, ignored her words, and looked at the treasury accounts sent by Caiyu with peace of mind. Her treasury was her own dowry and the royal dowry she had given her, as well as some of the rewards she received in the palace. There are a lot of things in this warehouse, she can't tell what good things are in it, she was taking care of it before, and she read it hastily, presumably there should be no less things, and then handed it to Youxiao, "This is the warehouse document transcribed by Caiyu, and you will register the account books in and out of the future, and hand them to me every month." In the future, we will usher in treasures that will be sent to the warehouse. The key is in the jade collection, you take Pinxiu to count it again, check if there is anything missing? ”

Youxiao immediately understood that the key to the treasury was in Caiyu, but the treasury was taken care of by her, which was nothing more than a check and balance between them. Caiyu only has a key, and if she wants something, she has to pass through her, and if she wants to enter the warehouse, she has to ask Caiyu to give the key, which is a good way.

No one dares to do anything to steal from the guards.

"Yes," Xiao replied again, "the servant will retire first." ”

"By the way, what about Qingyun?"

Xiao Xiao said softly, "Qingyun is still resting in the collapsed room, and he may not be able to adapt to the climate in the north." Do you want the servant to call her? ”

The inverted house, in the courtyard, is the house where the subordinates live, located behind the backyard. And this palace belongs to the backyard of the deep house from the main courtyard where the princess lives, which is the place with the most women, so there are only maids and no guards living in the house, and those are arranged in the end, in the reverse room on the south wall of the Ning Wangfu.

Wang Jingshu snorted, "No need, just tell her to rest for two days," and then said, "I have enough eight little maids here." You can arrange the rest of the maids' affairs. I thought that Ruofen had too many maids over there, and it would be enough to change it to three, anyway, she also had a maid herself, so she would change her name to a second-class maid like Yuding. ”

"Yes, don't worry, master, I will discuss it with Caiyu. She has been in the palace for a long time and knows more about those little maids than I do, so I will ask her for more advice. ”

Immediately, Wang Jingshu waved her hand, she felt that she was a little verbose, but there were some things that had to be said first, so as not to complain later.

I just quit again.

At this moment, it was evening, Wang Jingshu took a nap at noon, and this time she was refreshed, and she looked at the documents intently, and took a book of palace accounts, which were carefully recorded by Cai Yu and Ah Guang. When the two of them came with the big things, the prince specially took out some of the money from the account and asked them to make their own decisions, and now they are all recorded one by one. There is the amount of money, the purpose of the use, the name and the fingerprint of the user, and it is divided in great detail, and even the money for the food used on the road is recorded, and it is truly worthy of being a loyal servant.

Page after page, written in great detail, Wang Jingshu also looked at this pen, and couldn't see any problems, and there was nothing wrong with taking the abacus, and it didn't seem to be wrong or missing.

After seeing it for a while, it was time for dinner, and Caiyu knocked on the door, "Master, it's time for dinner, the small kitchen has prepared a meal." It's all northern cuisine, I don't know how you use it. ”

"If you really can't get used to it, the maid will ask the maid to find a restaurant to buy it."

Wang Jingshu occasionally found that the accounts were wrong, and there was something she didn't understand, "You come in!" ”

Cai Yu entered, "What's wrong with the master?" The left room is the room where you eat, do you want to bring your meals here? ”

"I read the account book you wrote with Ah Guang," Wang Jingshu raised her eyes and slammed the account book on the table, with a serious expression, "You have used up your money half a month ago, but you have expenses these days, so where did this money come from?" ”

Cai Yu was shocked, "This, in fact, there are a few more." But there's really nothing left at the moment. ”

Wang Jingshu frowned slightly, lowered her head to look at the patterns on her clothes, and couldn't see the sincerity of her expression, "There are some?" That means you didn't remember it before, right? So in the end, there is still some left? ”

"You remember, in the past half a month, three families have been added, which should have cost a lot, as well as the daily expenses of the palace. That's a lot of money. Where does this money come from? Did Ah Guang send a message to the prince to ask for it? She also wondered, why did she buy a family when she didn't have enough money? After opening the accounts and re-calculating, "there were only 100 taels left half a month ago, and after one night, there were 1,000 taels in the accounts." It is written with the name of Ah Guang. What's the matter with this money? Where did it come from? Even if you ask the prince, it's not so fast, and there are thousands of taels of kung fu in one night. ”

Cai Yu's heart sank, "I don't know, this is written down by Ah Guang." The maid asked, but he didn't tell me, only said, 'If you have it, you will have it, don't ask so much', and the maid thought that Xu is prince had already kept him more, so he didn't ask in detail. ”

- There you have it, don't ask so much?

Wang Jingshu only felt that something was wrong inside, "If the prince stays more, he just tells you, why hide it...... Have you ever wondered what happened? Immediately, he called the little maid who was guarding outside the house to find Ah Guang to question.

"In the future, this account will be given to the prince, this time the money is all withdrawn from the account of King Ning's mansion, and there are thousands of taels more, and the reason must be investigated, and it may even be calculated in one stroke." She has a clear mind, and the accounts of unknown origin must be clarified, otherwise when it comes to a pen calculation, it will be terrifying.

"I want to believe you, because I know that you are not the slightest greedy for ink. But Ah Guang is a person, can our main court really be trusted? He's the king's man! Not my people! ”

Cai Yu didn't dare to think deeply.

"These thousands of taels of silver, if Ah Guang was greedy for ink in private, and now he has no money and will take it out and use it, can you tell him clearly? If Ah Guang received bribes, can you make it clear? You dare to say that you didn't take bribes, but do people dare to believe it? ”

Wang Jingshu always felt that this matter was ignored and did not figure it out in time, "This matter, you really didn't figure it out!" I had to ask him to ask one or two. ”

The head of the jade is lower.

It was indeed her negligence.

Wang Jingshu continued to look behind the accounts, it seemed that every transaction was recorded, but this money, there were thousands of taels more in the accounts overnight, I am afraid that Ah Guang went to take bribes.

Soon Ah Guang came, her relationship with the prince was average, not close, so she didn't have much contact with Ah Guang, and it was not as good as Ah Guang to have more contact with other people's side concubines, I heard that Ah Guang was more respectful to the side concubine than to her princess when she was in the palace. Thinking about it, the palace people are the most snobbish, and the side concubines are so favored, they can't hold on tightly.

"Greetings, princess."

Wang Jingshu didn't let Ah Guang get up, since he had already knelt down, he knelt for a while, "Ah Guang, how many years have you been with the prince?" But what have you been serving since you were a child? ”

Ah Guang couldn't figure out the meaning of the princess's words, so he didn't dare to get up, and his tone was a little more respectful, "Back to the princess, exactly, I have followed the prince since I was a child, and I followed the prince when I was five years old, and now it has been more than ten years." ”

"I've been following me for more than ten years. From Wang's Mansion to the palace to Pingzhou, I always think that I will find a good family for her to marry in the future, so as not to waste her sincerity to me," Wang Jingshu suddenly talked about jade picking, "I have heard the prince say that you are the most important little guy around the prince." The prince values you so much, and he will plan for you in the future. ”

"That's the prince's love!"

Wang Jingshu was very satisfied with Ah Guang's knowledge, and the smile in her eyes was even stronger, "In this case, you came to Pingzhou first, there should be a letter from the prince, right?" Did you correspond to him? You asked me to deliver a letter just now, but I don't know where the prince is now? Then I thought, you should know, right? ”

"The little one has not corresponded with the prince. The small one is a palace steward, where does he know where the prince is, so he asked the princess to convey it on his behalf. ”

Wang Jingshu immediately threw the account in her hand in front of Ah Guang, "In this case, what happened to the thousands of taels of silver that entered the account half a month ago?" You didn't correspond with the prince, so this money was not given to you by the prince, so where did you get this money? ”

Ah Guang can't be so greedy for ink even if he wants to be greedy. Therefore, it is very likely that the bribery is accepted, "You tell me honestly, where did these thousands of silver dollars come from?" You can have so much money coming in overnight. ”

Ah Guang panicked and looked at the jade picker who was standing, "Yes, yes, the small one wins the money." ”

What the?

Win?!

That's gambling.

This is expressly forbidden. The law of the Xing Dynasty decreed that no one should participate in gambling.

The women in the palace like to play with leaves, just to kill time, and have nothing to do with profits, so they are tolerated by the emperor. But once it comes to winning or losing, the laws of the Xing Dynasty will never allow it.

She smiled, "Did you win so much money overnight?" She didn't believe that she could win so much money in one night, maybe Ah Guang didn't tell the truth at all, "I see, you might as well gamble, what else are you doing in charge of Ning Wangfu?" ”

"Did you know that gambling is forbidden? You call knowing the law and breaking the law. ”

Ah Guang was terrified.

Wang Jingshu slammed the teacup, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Ah Guang was completely panicked, and told the truth, "Yes, yes, Pingzhou and Yuzhou Tongzhi are filial to the prince, a total of 5,000 taels of silver." The little ones didn't take bribes, they all went into the account. The little one is telling the truth, please forgive the princess. ”

Wang Jingshu didn't know why, "The prince has not been to Pingzhou, and Yuzhou Tongzhi is filial piety to five thousand taels of silver, what is the intention?" "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and if you think about it, you must ask for something.

"I don't know if it's small."
