The next day, Nianyun checked the account book again, and all the divisions were a little jealous, and the money they ate had no choice but to spit it out, so there was no big omission. It's just that the accounts of the East Palace have been chaotic for a long time, and there have been many changes in personnel, which is far from an overnight effort, and it is really impossible to check in the early years.

Nian Yun knew that he couldn't be too anxious, and he didn't want to turn over the old accounts, but after checking the past few years, he called a meeting of the six divisions and said: "Now the accounts within three years have been cleared, and every three months in the future, the accounts will be checked, and the responsibility will be assigned to the person, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Everyone had to make a promise, and they all secretly complained in their hearts, wouldn't there be a lot less money in the future!

Nianyun said again: "From this month onwards, the people of the Inner Mansion will be half-paid per month, and there will be another reward under the New Year's Festival." It's just that it should be purchased, and the price needs to be verified by the chief manager himself, and it is not possible to do the work of the five square envoys in the palace. Otherwise, it will be severely punished! ”

When everyone heard that the moon was growing, they laughed again.

This side of the chamber also ordered a careful inventory of the warehouse, where the warehouse should be a utensils, damaged, obsolete will be ordered to repair and renovate, the appropriate re-filing and preservation, some of the repair value, no use, also sorted out the record, classified processing.

Some of these old goods that can still be used can also be sent to the shop to be sold for cash, and she has asked Guo Yan to buy a few shops in the East and West markets to do spices, jewelry, gold and silver, silk and satin, and pawnshop business, and it is natural to deal with some old goods.

Nian Yun instructed the old housekeeper in charge of the treasury: "There are a lot of treasures in the treasury, so you must check it carefully, and the accounts must match." If there is anything that does not match, it must be registered separately and disposed of separately, and you can do it properly and watch it yourself. ”

The old butler agreed.

There are several large rooms in the warehouse, and there are many items, Nianyun is still not at ease, and he can't take time to take a nap at noon, and he ordered Luluo to look at the warehouse in person.

The green pothos came back in the evening and said to Nianyun: "The old housekeeper of the warehouse is a very careful person, where to put something, I found it at once, so many large warehouses have been sorted out in a day." The excess is set aside, and the little is recorded. ”

When Fennel heard this, she was surprised: "I only know less, how can there be more?" ”

Nian Yun said with a smile: "It's inevitable, sometimes things are taken wrong, obviously I want an agate plate, but I take a jade plate of general color, so don't you have an extra agate plate?" ”

Green pothos said: "It's not, sometimes it is lent out, it's obviously a rosewood, people break it, they pay a red sandalwood back, and the account is not sold, isn't there an extra piece of red sandalwood!" ”

Fennel admired: "Sure enough, the slave is the stupidest, and Sister Pothos is just that, she has always taken care of some things in the past." How can Eleven Niang know everything? ”

Nianyun sighed lightly: "When I was in Yangzhou, since I was seven or eight years old, Aunt Wei asked me to take care of the housework. It's a pity that I didn't think about it carefully at that time, and I only learned a little skin! ”

She herself didn't expect that this skill would come in handy in the East Palace now. But for Aunt Wei and Xie Zhenren, I'm afraid that this is also a skill that they arranged for her early on.

The next day, Nianyun personally went to the warehouse with Luluo to check some of the extra things, but Luluo frowned: "Housekeeper, I just said that you are the safest, why didn't you spend more time yesterday, and then go back after registering?" I'm afraid I've been led away by some people today! ”

The old housekeeper only said that the beautiful big girls around Mrs. Jun were all embroidered pillows, and they were just lively, but he didn't expect to be really organized, so he had to say: "This ...... It was too late yesterday, and I'm early today, I think...... I don't think anyone has touched it......"

Green Pothos sneered: "You take it for granted! Let me ask you, there was a marble table with an ebony base here yesterday? ”

Dozens of items, the pothos actually remembered clearly, what was missing, it was obvious at a glance, this maid should not be underestimated.

The housekeeper didn't feel cold sweat, "This ......"

Lu Pothos said: "You don't have to say that you don't remember, I took stock with you yesterday, and the table screen was originally placed in the third room, and you also said that even if the saint was in the East Palace in the past, he was going to give a gift but somehow never gave it out." ”

The old butler was drenched in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes." ”

Nian Yun glanced around: "Don't ask if you take yourself for stealing, in this way, are there any rules?" Summoning everyone who may have come into contact with the treasury from yesterday to today to come and ask questions. ”

After a short time, there were six people in total, in addition to the old housekeeper, there was also a female history who was responsible for recording, two people who helped carry things, and two women who sprinkled and swept the house.

Nianyun remained silent, first said the reason by the green pothos, and said: "I will give you a stick of incense time, remember the memories well, if someone takes the wrong one, or sees someone else take it, if it can be exposed at this moment, I will naturally be rewarded." ”

These people have been in the East Palace for years to decades, and they are seen, who is willing to offend their colleagues! Therefore, one by one, they were silent and silent.

One of the sweeping women looked left and right, looking a little flustered, but quickly lowered her head and couldn't see her expression again.

Nian Yun smiled slightly: "The table screen is marble, not a small thing, and it is very heavy, I haven't moved home yet." I will order someone to search at this moment, and I will surely find all the stolen goods. ”

The mother-in-law gradually broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time, Fennel added: "Mother-in-law Yuan, do you say yes or no?" ”

She had to nod her head like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes." ”

At this time, the woman took a step forward and kowtowed: "Madam, the slave reported that Mrs. Yuan stole the marble table screen." ”

Nian Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "What evidence?" ”

The female Shi cleared her throat and said, "The slave maid lives in the same room with Mrs. Yuan, and last night, I saw her hide a flat weight under the bed, like a marble object. ”

Nianyun nodded: "Okay, come on, go and search in the house of Mrs. Yuan!" One side faced Mrs. Yuan: "What do you have to say?" ”

That Mrs. Yuan is not a very hard person, she was so frightened that her face was like earth, and she kowtowed like garlic: "The old slave was confused for a while, and the lard was blinded ......"

However, after the female history reported it, she kowtowed again, and said earnestly: "Mrs. County still listens to the slave maid, Mrs. Yuan's wife has been paralyzed for many years, and now her youngest son is going to marry, and the family really can't get a decent dowry to do such a thing......

After reporting it, he pleaded for her again, and this female history was also kind.

But in any case, the testimonies cannot be abolished.

Nianyun said: "Stealing is stealing, there is no forgiveness, pull down and hit twenty boards, and the whole inner government will go to watch the ceremony, take it as a warning!" ”

While quietly saying to Luluo: "You go back and send someone to take a look, the difficulties in Mrs. Yuan's family are true, if it is true, you can give some subsidies as appropriate, from my private account." ”

was about to be dragged down by Mrs. Yuan, but saw the maid beside Hui Niang hurriedly running: "Madam, wait, wait......"

Sure enough, I saw Hui Niang coming with a big belly in three steps and two steps.

Nian Yun was unhappy in his heart, since you are not in charge of things now, what are you here to mix?

Looking at that Mrs. Yuan, she seemed to be relieved, and she dared to come to the mountain, Nianyun snorted coldly in her heart, noncommittal.

Hui Niang had no choice but to speak: "The things have been recovered, and now there is no loss in the inner house." I also asked Mrs. to sell her concubine to save face, this Mrs. Yuan was originally a distant cousin of the concubine, at such an age, if she is punished so heavily, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it......"

Nianyun said: "Having said that, there are no rules, and when you are old, you shouldn't rely on the old and sell the old." ”

Hui Niang's attitude hardened: "Madame talks about rules, but she is also flesh and blood, she should talk about love, this is called how can the concubine bear it in her heart!" If the lady wants to punish her, it is better to start with the concubine first! ”

Nian Yun looked at her funny, but she was just relying on the one in her womb. Nian Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "In this way, my sister has a lot of relatives in Chang'an, and Ling Zun entrusts her sister to the East Palace, which is a superfluous move!" ”

A sentence pointed out her identity and status, reminding her that she was just a send-off, and her relatives were so lowly, so that Hui Niang suddenly felt embarrassed: "Madame, don't be too mean!" ”

Nian Yun smiled slightly: "My sister is now valuable, if she gets angry because of these trivial things, isn't it my sin!" Heavy building Yuzhu, send Sister Hui back. ”

Luluo whispered in Nianyun's ear: "Ning'er has to pick someone around, her eldest daughter-in-law was originally selected, and she will come to work in two days, but now she ......"

Nianyun understood and said, "Originally, it should be one yard to one yard, but Ning'er is the eldest son of the county king, and she can't use her daughter-in-law anymore, and take her to the East Market Silk Village to help." ”

When Li Chun came back in the evening, he smiled at Nianyun and said, "I heard that Mrs. is going to court to try the case today." ”

Nianyun feigned anger: "Even you make fun of me!" ”

Li Chun was busy learning what was sung in the legendary book, lifted his robe, and said: "How dare Xiaosheng make fun of Madame, but Madame doesn't know something......"

"I don't know what?" Nianyun jumped.

Li Chun smiled: "Madam is too merciful. Do you know how the man in Mrs. Yuan's family was paralyzed? ”

Nianyun shook her head, how could she know about the old things about these little people in the East Palace.

Li Chun said: "Those two are both domestic servants in the East Palace, Lao Yuan is a gardener, and he has a good set of serving flowers and plants, but he is good at gambling and has to bear a debt." In the fourth year of Zhenyuan, when my mother was first in charge of family affairs, she was just like you, and she caught Lao Yuan stealing a piece of jade, worth dozens of gold. ”

Nian Yun was surprised: "That's the leg that was broken at that time?" ”

Li Chun nodded: "No, my mother also said like you, one yard is one yard, and Mrs. Yuan still stayed in the inner mansion to do things, and it turned out to be such a thing again." ”

The husband and wife both collided with the matter, so it can be seen that they usually don't know how much they take, but no one found out.

Such people are the most hateful, and the monthly income is not low, and they will not live a good life if they are born in a good life, and in the end they will make others pity them.

The female historian must have guessed that she was dealing with it like this, so she came to expose it when she saw that the matter was about to be exposed, and she refused to offend people to the end when she exposed it, so she pleaded for mercy.

"So what does the county king think about this matter?"

"How is it good? If you want me to say, it is necessary to beat this family to death and sell it, so as not to save it for another accident. Li Chun suddenly looked at her with a smile: "However, it is so difficult for the lady to call the husband in the next voice?" It's always a county king, and it sounds rusty! ”

Nian Yun had no choice but to bypass this topic, and poured a cup of tea with him: "In this case, people are staring at some daughters-in-law of the Yuan family, and if there is anything wrong with the same, they will be sent out immediately, and their family will be left to fend for themselves." ”

Li Chun sighed: "My wife is the most benevolent and has the style of motherhood. ”
