Chapter 141: Filling the Gap
"Girl, it is said that the shop will pay dividends on the first day of every month. But now four or five days have passed, and the slave and maid have been urged and urged, and the careless steward always has various reasons to prevaricate, and the slave and maid have not even seen his figure so far! ”
Qingxuan held the account book with a sad face.
Yan Ran had just taken over the affairs of the Yan Mansion, and the shop dividends that had been paid as usual last month had been delayed this month, and it was clear that she wanted to give her a dismissal.
Yan Ran said strangely: "The Wen family took out all the cash in their hands and put the seal money, but we cut it off and couldn't get it back, how could they still hand it over." ”
Qingxuan still felt a little angry, but when she thought that Wen's was even worse by her girl, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and asked, "Girl, what should I do now?" ”
Yan Ran asked, "How much cash is there on the books in the house?" ”
Qingxuan hurriedly opened the account book to check, and replied with a broken face: "There is only less than 1,000 taels of cash left." ”
Yan Ran picked up the pen and wrote a few numbers on the paper, calculated silently in her heart, then wrote down a few more numbers, and finally said, "It's okay, this silver is enough." ”
Qingxuan looked at Yan Ran's mental calculation of these numbers without even dialing the abacus, and said in surprise: "Girl, didn't you say that you are not proficient in arithmetic?" ”
Yan Ran had been the Duchess of Dingguo for five years in her previous life, and she was easy to deal with the affairs of the back house, how could it be difficult for her to settle accounts.
She said that she was not proficient in arithmetic, but she just wanted to take the opportunity to let Wen Rongan teach her hand-in-hand and create some opportunities to get along.
After all, if she said that she didn't know how to write and ink, Wen Rongan wouldn't believe it.
Qingxuan looked at the numbers written by Yan Ran with a face full of admiration, and said puzzledly: "Girl, what are you calculating?" Approaching the end of the year, there is more than this number just to buy New Year's goods! Coupled with the monthly examples of these two months, as well as the New Year's gifts of various personal exchanges, this amount of money is far from enough! ”
Yan Ran said with a smile: "These silver are only used to distribute monthly envelopes and red envelopes for rewarding during the New Year, and from next month, the monthly envelopes of all people in the house will be doubled, and the red envelopes will be more than last year." ”
Qingxuan became more and more confused: "Girl, isn't the silver even more insufficient?" ”
Yan Ran stretched out her hand and nodded Qingxuan's forehead, and said with a smile: "You forgot, don't we still have those seal money released by the Wen family?" ”
Although the silver was obtained from the Wen family, Qingxuan still felt the pain in her flesh, and said reluctantly: "Girl, the Wen family asked you to take care of the house, but I am afraid that this is the idea." If we fill the gap, wouldn't it be as she wanted? ”
Yan Ran let out a sigh and said, "Yes, the school will open after the New Year, and Yan Yao will also get married, and the Wen family will definitely take the opportunity to take back the right to be a housekeeper." But she insisted on giving me the right to be a housekeeper at this time, just because she had no money in her hand, and she couldn't pass this year. I only have two choices now, one is to carry this black pot and be accused of doing things badly; The second is to swallow this dark deficit and silently fill the deficit. Regardless, I got through it for her. Since Wen's abacus is so good, I'll help her once. Anyway, to me, it's just two months' worth of silver, but what I gave back to her was a bottomless pit. ”
Yan Ran paused, showed a smug smile, and continued: "So, I not only have to make up for the shortfall in the expenses of the house, but also make up the dividends of the shop, and it has to be excessive!" ”
Qingxuan finally understood Yan Ran's intentions, and praised: "Girl, a good move!" ”
Yan Ran smiled, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go find the Hu Supervisor now." ”
Yan Ran left the house, but did not go to the shop of Yan's house, but went to Cuiweilou.
Sure enough, in order to hide from Yan Ran, Steward Hu arrived at Cuiwei Building in the blue sky and daylight, and there was no girl to entertain him, so he drank tea alone in the room.
He didn't expect that Yan Ran would chase here.
When Steward Hu saw Yan Ran, he was very worried after being surprised, and said with a wry smile: "Big girl, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!" ”
Yan Ran said bluntly: "Unfortunately, I'm here to find you." ”
The manager choked, and the look on his face became even more unnatural.
Yan Ran didn't mean to embarrass him, so she asked him to sit down, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Steward Hu, the dividends of the shop this month were not delivered to the house on time, I want to ask, but what happened to the shop?" ”
Steward Hu's eyes flashed slightly, and he made a look of embarrassment: "Big girl, it's not that the villain is lazy, it's really because the New Year is approaching, and the shop has to settle the payment, but the arrears are temporarily confiscated." So in these two months, I am afraid that this silver will not be able to be turned. ”
As he spoke, Steward Hu cautiously looked at Yan Ran's expression, and his words were full of temptation.
Yan Ran nodded, and didn't delve into it, but didn't understand this business and believed his words.
Yan Ran also discussed with him very seriously: "Hu Guan, the New Year is approaching, and the expenses in the house are also tight. I still have some cash on hand, otherwise I will use my private house to make up the dividends that should be paid to the shop, so as to ensure the normal operation of the expenses in the house. When you get the money back in the future, you can pay it back to me. ”
The corners of Steward Hu's lips hooked slightly, but he didn't expect Yan Ran to fall on the trap so easily, so he pretended to be grateful and said: "The big girl is kind, and the villain is grateful!" ”
Yan Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, handed him the account book, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, then it's decided." Steward Hu, have you seen how many dividends should be paid by the shop in the two months before and after the New Year? ”
Steward Hu looked at the blank space of the dividend amount in the account book, and was happy in his heart, and filled in a larger amount without hesitation.
Yan Ran did not doubt that he had him, and happily signed with Steward Hu.
In the accounts, the money is considered posted.
Steward Hu said a little eagerly: "Big girl, if there is nothing else, the villain will retire first." ”
Yan Ran smiled and said, "Okay, you go and get busy." ”
Steward Hu left in a hurry, thinking that in the past two months, Yan Ran would not be able to find him no matter how much he wanted to find him.
Because although Yan Ran paid the silver in advance, she forgot to leave a note.
In other words, the two-month shop bonus was made up by Yan Ran out of his own pocket, but there is no evidence to prove this matter.
Therefore, Steward Hu naturally did not need to return the silver to Yan Ran, and this money would naturally fall into the hands of the Wen family.
Looking at the back of Steward Hu leaving in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being stopped, Yan Ran sneered.
Wen's is just a two-month shop bonus from her, which is far from what she got from Wen's!
Besides, two months later, she will definitely give the Wen family a brand new Yan Mansion, and wait!
After Yan Ran finished her work, she naturally wouldn't stay in Cuiwei Building for long, so she prepared to leave.
As soon as she went out, Xian Luo said to her with a sad face: "Girl, the slave maid has just seen the son." ”
Yan Ran was stunned, in broad daylight, Wen Rong'an came to visit the Qinglou?
Yan Ran was puzzled, and Wen Qi suddenly appeared in front of her: "Miss Yan, our son-in-law invites you to come over." ”
Yan Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, yo, isn't this a self-confession?
Yan Ran went to find Wen Rong'an aggressively, as soon as she entered the door, Qingxuan closed the door behind her, and several people waited outside.
Wen Rongan was making tea, and when he saw her come in, he looked at her with a smile: "Is everything done?" ”
Yan Ran was dissatisfied: "You know my whereabouts well, but I don't know what you're here for?" ”
Wen Rongan stood up, walked in front of her, and patiently explained: "I met with the prince, but there are many eyes and ears outside, and it is inconvenient after all, so I ......"
Yan Ran snorted coldly and sneered: "So, you just came to visit the Qinglou in broad daylight?" ”
Wen Rongan was speechless, coughed lightly with a wry expression, and stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes wandering.
Yan Ran saw the opportunity and suddenly ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Wen Rongan took a step back after being knocked out, and subconsciously stretched out her arms to wrap around Yan Ran to prevent her from falling.
Yan Ran's eyes succeeded, and she grinned.
Wen Rong'an was relieved to see that she was just bluffing and not really angry.
He was very helpless, and gently patted the top of Yan Ran's hair: "You, you're always so naughty, what if you accidentally fall?" ”
Yan Ran complained dissatisfiedly: "If I don't take it by surprise, you won't even hug me." ”
Yan Ran said, as if she was afraid that Wen Rongan would run away, and her arms around him tightened.
Wen Rong'an was provoked by Yan Ran's small movements and chuckled, looking at her hairy little head, her eyes were gentle, and her heart was happy.
His silly girl, really cute.
Wen Rong'an remembered something again, his smile faded, and he asked with some concern: "You have been short of silver recently?" ”
Yan Ran looked up at him funny: "Cousin, why are you stupid?" You forgot how much money I just got from the Wen family, how can I be short of silver......"
Before Yan Ran's words fell, he suddenly reacted to why Wen Rong'an asked this, and said angrily: "That Chen He, I just casually asked if there was a caravan out of the city recently, and he turned his head and told you?" Cousin, your eyeliner is really everywhere! ”
Chen He is the boss of Hesheng Ji, and Yan Ran has been spending a lot of money with him recently.
Wen Rong'an looked at Yan Ran calmly, and gently brushed the broken hair in her ears behind her ears.
Yan Ran was immediately appeased, and snorted, "I was looking for medicinal herbs and items unique to Anyang City, and I wanted to send them to Beining. My uncle has sent me a lot of good things, and I should return the favor. However, I do want to do business, and as for what to do, you'll know later! ”
Wen Rongan wanted to tell Yan Ran that if she was short of money to spend, she could ask him for it, he had a lot of silver, and she didn't have to bother so much.
But looking at her sparkling eyes, he felt that he shouldn't interfere with her too much.
That's it, if she likes it, let her toss it!
After returning home, Yan Ran concentrated on the affairs of the New Year.
Purchase New Year's goods, decorate the courtyard, formulate the menu of the New Year's banquet, and approve the list of New Year's gifts and gifts......
Big and small things, trivial and complicated.
Wen originally thought that Yan Ran had no experience, and he would be in a hurry and full of mistakes and omissions.
Unexpectedly, she took care of all affairs in an orderly manner, which made Mrs. Yan and Master Yan praise her.
Wen couldn't be angry, although she wanted to use Yan Ran, she didn't want her life to be too comfortable.
Yan Ran was busy checking the gift list, and Qingxuan suddenly ran in and said urgently: "Girl, the second girl has taken the wrong medicine, her life is hanging by a thread, and Madame wants to ask you for the crime!" ”
