Chapter 179: There is a problem with the accounts
When she said this, she took out an account book from the side and handed it to Gu Jiudao: "Look at it, this is what I took from the old lady, but she hasn't had time to look at it yet." ”
After Fang Qing's accident, the things at hand were also divided into the second and third rooms, and the two rooms were benefited, and she knew that she couldn't go too far, so even if the money in the public account was less, she didn't dare to make too much trouble with Old Madam Qin.
And the kitchen matter was divided into the second room.
Old Madam Qin was so busy that she had no time to take care of it, so she naturally hadn't looked at this account yet. After the second room took over, it was up to her to take a look.
Just this look, I can see a little greasy.
Seeing that the second lady's expression was a little solemn, Gu Jiu also restrained his smile, and Zhengse took it and looked at it.
After all, she was born in a merchant, and unlike the female red embroidery that those little girls learned, she usually read the account book.
In addition, now that he has taken over Jin Yuzhai, he has become more and more proficient.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Jiu looked at the key page drawn by the second lady for a while, and then felt that something was wrong, because he frowned and said, "This account ......"
It's problematic!
There is no match between the income and expenditure before and after, and there is an obvious deficit, which is obviously someone who did something when reporting the accounts.
It's just that Gu Jiu's face is not good, but it's not entirely because of this.
It's because the person who reported the account in question is himself!
But Gu Jiu clearly didn't do it.
She was a little puzzled for a while, and then saw the second lady nodding and said, "There is a problem with this account, and besides, it was given to me by the old lady before." At least when it passes through her hands, it's fine. ”
The kitchen was previously cleaned by the party.
Gu Jiuxian was a little surprised at how the accounts at home could be related to him, but he suddenly remembered something, because he frowned and said: "Fang Qing once asked me to learn how to take care of the house with her before, and I perfunctory for two days......
When she thought of this, she suddenly had an epiphany, no wonder Fang Qing was so enthusiastic during that time, it turned out that she was holding back her tricks?
Thinking of this, she suddenly said in a deep voice: "The accounts have indeed been tampered with, but not by me. ”
Not to mention anything else, just say that the shorted silver money is only more than 1,000 taels, how uninformed is she to be greedy for so much money?
Hearing Gu Jiu's words, the second lady couldn't help but smile and comforted her: "I know that you didn't do it, you are not the one who did it." ”
When she saw the accounts, the second lady vaguely understood what was going on, probably because Fang Qing wanted to set Gu Jiu up before, but who knew that half of the set was down, and Fang Qing was arrested.
That Fang Qing is stealing chickens and rice, and now he has been driven out of the Ming Mansion in embarrassment, and he also broke a leg, and it will be difficult to come back in the future.
It's just that this account has passed through the hands of Old Madam Qin, and now that it has come to the second lady, the second lady is naturally biased towards Gu Jiu.
It's not because she likes Gu Jiu so much, it's just because she knows who she will rely on in the future in this big house.
Thinking of this, the second lady smiled again and said: "I have already done this account, it will inevitably be smoothed out, someone made it bad before, and now naturally I can't let this dirty water splash on you." It's just that I called you here today, but I want to get to the bottom of it with you, the accounts were previously with the old lady, if she doesn't know about it, just reveal it, but if she finds out, you can have an explanation, not so passive. ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu naturally knew the kindness of the second lady, so he thanked him with a smile: "Thank you Second Aunt for thinking about me, if it weren't for you, I really didn't know that there was such a basin of dirty water waiting for me." ”
Now that Fang Qing has an accident, if nothing happens to her, I'm afraid she is waiting to use this incident to pit a sum of money from herself.
Even if you don't want to give it then, you have to work hard. After all, Fang Qing has been housekeeper for many years, and if she has the support of Old Madam Qin, all the human and material evidence has been found, isn't she even ten mouths unclear. Bunny Fly
Now that this matter has come to the second lady by mistake, it has made Gu Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she is not afraid of trouble, it is indeed better to waste time on such useless things than to have more.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiufu solemnly thanked him again.
Seeing her so solemn, the second lady hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's all a family, and I can't look past it." Don't worry, even if Old Madam Qin really has read the account book, she is not afraid, anyway, you went to help before, and Fang Qing was in charge. I won't sit idly by then, and I won't be able to stand by the bullying juniors who are smug and sloppy. ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu thanked him again, and said, "I'll thank my second aunt again if I'm free another day." ”
Hearing this, the second lady smiled and waved her hand: "You don't have to be so polite, besides, you really said that you gave Jin'er so many valuable gifts before, and I don't know how to return the gift." ”
She was talking about Gu Jiu's gift before.
When Qin Zhijin went to Jinyuzhai that day, Gu Jiu asked his subordinates to pay attention to her preferences, and he also paid attention.
A few days later, after Gu Jiu was busy with the matter at hand, he picked and sent a lot of things to Qin Brocade. Clothes, jewelry, and daily gadgets are full of a lot.
At that time, Qin Zhijin refused to do it, but later it was the maid Baizhu who forced it into her with a smile, and she left only after the other party accepted it.
Later, when Qin Zhijin talked to the second lady about this matter, the second lady also made a special inquiry and knew that this gift was Qin Zhijin's only one, and no one else had one.
This matter made the second lady very satisfied.
Not to mention that this is Gu Jiu's attention to Qin Zhijin, just to say that among the other girls in this house, the second lady doesn't look down on any of them, and she always feels that her daughter is the best.
She only has this one daughter, who has been pampered since she was a child, although she is willing to buy things for her daughter in ordinary times. But what Gu Jiu sent was different, it represented the sister-in-law's heart and attention to her.
Gu Jiu's heart made the second lady very comfortable.
It is precisely because of this that when she saw that there was a problem with the accounts this time, the second lady's first reaction was to smooth out the accounts, if it weren't for the fact that the accounts passed through the hands of Old Madam Qin, she would never alarm Gu Jiu, let alone let Old Madam Qin find out, and she would have flattened it herself.
Hearing the words of the second lady at this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and said: "The fifth sister is the same age as the flower, I am happy when I look at it, not to mention that she has a very good color, I am naturally willing to add icing on the cake." Besides, as you said, it's all your own family, so you're welcome. ”
As soon as she said this, the second lady immediately echoed and smiled: "What you said is that they are all a family, so naturally there is no need to be polite." Wait for you to be free another day, come to the second aunt to sit here, and let's talk. ”
For her words, Gu Jiu naturally agreed with a smile.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then saw the second lady ask tentatively: "Actually, there is another thing, I don't know whether to say it or not, your mother, how is she now?" ”
This time there was a disturbance at home, and the second lady realized that the Lin family had been sick in bed for so many years not because of anything else, but because he was poisoned!
Looking at the entire Western Chu, who doesn't have two or three concubines in the house, but this concubine is the first time to see the one who poisoned the main mother.
The second lady wanted to help the Lin family get ahead at that time, but she was stopped by her husband, so she could only watch from the sidelines.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved well, but even the Lin family went out of the house, which made the second lady a little worried.
In her opinion, the Lin family was forced out.
And in order to protect himself, he never said a word of justice from beginning to end, and when he asked Gu Jiu now, he was also a little weak-hearted.
Hearing the second lady's words, Gu Jiu was a little surprised, because he smiled and said: "What can't be asked, my mother is not bad now, you can rest assured." ”
The second lady didn't have any bad intentions, and Gu Jiu didn't hide the fact that he knew where the Lin family was.
Hearing this, the second lady relaxed slightly, and said: "Jin'er is right, sister-in-law has your son and daughter-in-law, and it can be regarded as a bittersweet come." You go back and ask me to bring a message to her, so that she wants to open more, how many people can count on her husband in the second half of her life, don't you still have to point to your children? Besides, if you don't die, there will be blessings, she is a kind person, and after this catastrophe, the follow-up will be blessed. ”
