Gu Jiangyuan stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, and said, "Why don't you explain soon?" ”

That Feng's mother knelt on the ground and shrank again, so she didn't dare to hide it anymore, in front of her was the account book that Gu Jin threw down, and the first few pages were inadvertently opened, revealing the red pen and red, which was shocking.

Gu Jin got up slowly, squatting slightly in front of Feng's mother, and his body was completely cold.

She stretched out her hand and opened an account book, which was the one in the eighteenth year of Shunchang, and the girl's jade hand was held up and handed it to Feng's mother, and she opened a page casually.

"This is the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunchang, the house was sacrificed during the Shangyuan Festival, Feng's mother took fifty taels of silver to go out to buy, but the book handed back only used twenty taels, and thirty taels are missing, Feng's mother thinks about it, but she is too anxious to go out and lose it?"

Feng's mother swallowed her saliva, she knew very well that the sum of money was made by herself, but what she did with it, she couldn't remember clearly, she had a lot of money in the house over the years, she should eat, drink, and subsidize her children, He never looked at the accounts, how could they have thought that there would be such a second lady in the house.

Isn't that what kills them?

Mother Feng was frightened, Gu Jin's eyes stared at her, her heart was furious, and she suddenly felt that begging for mercy was a big deal.

"Second Miss! Lord! Madam! Old slave, old slave knows that he is wrong! ”

This result was expected by everyone, Gu Jin and Gu Jiangyuan did not have a big reaction, but He Shi avoided his gaze, to be honest, the people under her hands like to be careful and think about how much she knows, but she is too lazy to take the trouble to check, originally thought that it was just a matter of a few dozen taels of silver, but he thought that it would accumulate over time, and it turned out to be a thousand taels of silver.

She is at a loss in today's affairs, and she really has nothing to say.

Gu Jin closed the account book in her hand and got up, and sat back on the chair behind her, she flipped through the account book lightly, and her eyelids didn't want to raise more.

The girl's voice was still cold: "Then tell me, how did you get rid of this silver, what did you use it for, and how much did you use it?" ”

Feng's mother hesitated for a long time, and explained the first two questions clearly, their mother-in-law in the backyard didn't have much brain, and the left and right were just an advance of fifty taels of silver but only bought twenty taels of silver, and the silver was either spent or kept at home, just greedy for money.

As for how much money has been spent over the years, Feng's mother can't remember it clearly.

Gu Jin turned her head sideways, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled softly: "Can't you remember?" Then you remember the point, six years, three hundred and twenty-eight taels. ”

Hearing this, the listeners were embarrassed for a while, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts, some people were amazed at this Feng's mother's ability to steal beams and change pillars, some people were amazed at this huge amount of money, and some people were amazed at Gu Jin's ability.

These two young ladies just looked at the account books in the house for half a month, and they even found out this?

Is this still a little maid who was humble and cowardly in the former mansion and was so pressed by the third lady that she didn't even dare to come out?

The surprised people were also surprised, and the scared people were also afraid, and after seeing Gu Jin's thunderous means, the rest of the mothers-in-law were also panicked.

In addition, Gu Jiangyuan smashed the tea cup and the bowl on the top, and within two hours, all the people below were entertained.

Except for Mrs. Liu's hard mouth, what others said was very pleasant, but Gu Jin likes to speak with facts, and sent someone to Mrs. Liu's house to find out a few silver tickets, which completely blocked Mrs. Liu's mouth.

He Shi sat on the top, and she didn't dare to come out, she was now unable to protect herself, and she couldn't think of any way to protect this old servant woman who had been with her for decades.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, the light and shadow are sparse, and it is already past lunch, but none of the masters sitting in the hall have any thoughts, and the He family is already uneasy, let alone the two concubines who have also lost some money.

Yu and Chen are Gu Jin's elders, and Gu Jiangyuan personally asked about the two of them, but fortunately, the two were timid, only a few dozen taels of silver, so Gu Jiangyuan asked them to take the silver and fill it in, and sent the two back to their own yard.

The two of them are masters, and they have silver in their hands that can be used, but those mothers-in-law are not, five or six years of silver have already been spent, thinking that there is a deficit of nearly one thousand taels in the house, Gu Jiangyuan feels a headache.

"Jin'er, what do you think should be done at this time?"

If these mothers-in-law are sold, it is fine, but how much are they worth? The Gu family is not a rich and noble family, even though Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian are now the ministers of the court, they do not have thousands of taels of private money.

If there really is one day when the imperial court orders the rectification of the official style and sends people to the house to check the accounts, if it is really only the silver money in the backyard, it will be just involved, but it will involve the shops outside and the Zhuangzi outside the city, and if one can't pay it back, this can really give Gu Jiangyuan the crime of being a corrupt official.

Isn't this how the Kang family, who washed horses in the south of the city, was exiled from their homes?

Gu Jin pursed her lips, she didn't know how the benefits were, but fortunately, she should do things according to her own name, and her words and deeds have always been the first priority, if she hadn't thought of a way to deal with it, she wouldn't have started to inquire recklessly today.

I saw the girl nod, "Yes, but it's not a good idea." ”

Gu Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows, waiting to hear what his daughter said, in this situation, good ideas and bad ideas are precious.

A few hours passed, and the tea in Gu Jin's hand changed a few times, and she said a little too much, so she raised her hand and took a sip of tea before continuing:

"Mothers, you have to go home first to see how much money is left, it's really not good to smash a pot and sell a bowl, if it's not enough, you can always sell a house."

Many of the servants here are eating, drinking, and living in the Gu Mansion, and they can't talk about selling the house, so Gu Jin naturally understands it, and also thinks of a way back for them: "No matter how bad it is, the parents will have to pay off their debts, and they will have to work hard for the children in the family for a few years, and they will only be able to pay off a few hundred taels of silver." ”

……

That's really not a good idea.

It's better to have more than ten or two hundred taels, and the family can pay it back after ten years, but I'm afraid that the two or three hundred taels of silver will have to work for this silver for the rest of my life.

The mothers-in-law no longer had the luxury of expecting the sovereign mother to stay in the house after this incident, but they began to regret their greed a few years ago, and they couldn't wait to slap themselves in the face.

Now it seems that there is no better way, the debt should be repaid, and there is no way to let go of this group of black-hearted women who let the master's family pay money to make up for the shortfall, not to mention that the accounts on the shop and the Zhuangzi have not yet begun to ask, and I don't know how many loopholes there are at that time.

Gu Jiangyuan sighed, and this can only be the case now.

Today's matter was about to come to an end, but he suddenly heard Gu Haomian say "eh", "However, it will be many years before this silver is filled, what is it good now?" ”

Gu Jiangyuan is now a popular figure in the court, what if there is really a ginseng for him?
