Chapter 32: Stewardship
"Then it will be annoying to my mother, and there will be a lot of places for my mother to take care of in the future." Bai Yu said.
"No trouble, no trouble." After that, the woman led the people out of the Jinghong Pavilion.
"Look at it." The mother-in-law took the heavy silver in her hand and said to the mother-in-law on the side: "This is what the young lady should look like when everyone comes out, unlike the lady now, who is stingy and tight, when did she reward us so generously?" Not only that, but we finally got some oil and water, and we had to let her loot it, and this Hou Mansion didn't know how many belongings she had to get to her mother's house openly and secretly. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Nearly half of the moon silver sent from the shop last time let her get it to her mother's house, although we old women saw it, we didn't dare to say anything. ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her eyes rolled around a few times in her sockets, poked the mother-in-law on the side, and said in a low voice: "You said that if the old lady knew about this matter, what would she do?" ”
In the afternoon, the weather was hot, and the old lady's room was put with ice cubes to relieve the heat, and the old lady reclined on the chaise longue, closing her eyes and recuperating. The maid took the puff fan and fanned it gently.
Mother Zhou, who had been waiting for the old lady for a long time, opened the curtain and walked in, this week's mother was brought by the old lady from Jiangnan, and the old lady followed and served before she got married, and she was the most trustworthy person of the old lady.
Zhou's mother gave the fan a look to the maid, and the maid immediately understood and retreated lightly.
The old lady opened her eyes, "What's the matter?" ”
Mother Zhou leaned over to the old lady's ear and said something in a voice that others could not hear, and when Mother Zhou finished speaking, the old lady's originally calm face was filled with anger. "Go and get that woman for me, and ask her to bring me the keys to the account room and the account books!" The old lady snapped.
After a while, Su Yi'er knelt in front of the old lady, "Do you really think that you have the final say in the backyard of the entire Hou Mansion?" I turn a blind eye to everything, and after a long time, you will be treated as a dead person, right? The more the old lady spoke, the louder she became.
Su Yi'er knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out, when the old lady asked her to come here with the account book, she knew that it was her east window that happened, but what can be done? Her gambler father and insatiable mother, do they think that they married into the Hou Mansion, and the money and silver of the Hou Mansion are all theirs? Her mother came to the door again and again to ask for money, how could she not give it.
She is actually enjoying this feeling, she enjoys her mother's flattering attitude when she comes to ask for money, which makes her feel that she is superior, and makes her feel that she is the god of the Su family.
"Speak, aren't you the most reasonable in Xuan'er?" The old lady looked at the vacancies in the account book, and her brows became more and more wrinkled, "From today onwards, you hand over the stewardship and punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall tonight." ”
Su Yi'er didn't say a word, she was taken to the ancestral hall, and when everyone went out, her tears poured out all of a sudden, she felt extremely wronged, since she married into the Hou Mansion and became the hostess of the Hou Mansion, why couldn't she take a part of the silver to her mother's family, not to mention that this was only a small part of the silver, which was nothing to the Hou Mansion.
Leng Moxuan came back from the court, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he was blocked by Su Yi'er's maid Red Candle, and Red Candle looked anxious, "Master Hou go and save the master, the master is ......."
"I know." Leng Moxuan said coldly, and after speaking, he walked in the opposite direction to the ancestral hall, Leng Moxuan had already known what happened in the backyard today before he returned home. In fact, he knew what Su Yi'er was doing, but because Su Yi'er was the eldest prince, he chose to turn a blind eye.
It is also a good thing that this matter was turned out by the old lady today, just in time to get back the housekeeping in Su Yier's hands.
Seeing that Hou Ye had no intention of caring about Su Yi'er's affairs, Red Candle paced in place anxiously, and there was no other way.
Bai Yu was called to the old lady's courtyard, and as soon as she sat down, the old lady handed over the account book and the key to the account room to Bai Yu. "You take care of this for me, and they can't say no."
The old lady was clever in this move, and she didn't know that she would hand over the housekeeping power to Bai Yu, but she just said that she would take care of it for herself, on the surface, the housekeeping power was in the hands of the old lady, but in fact, it was completely in the hands of Bai Yu, and the group of women in the backyard didn't accept it anymore.
Bai Yu used to be in charge of the huge fox clan, and the small account of the Hou Mansion was nothing in her eyes, and the old lady also said that she was helping her manage it, so she didn't shirk and simply took over the account book.
It only took one night to get back the account book, Bai Yu sorted out all the accounts in it, where there was a loss, and where there was a lot of profit, all of which were clear, when Su Yi'er was in charge, there were mostly deficits in this account, and there were thousands of people up and down the Hou Mansion, and the livelihood of thousands of people was not sloppy.
As soon as the next day dawned, Bai Yu summoned the housekeepers and mothers-in-law from all over the place, these mothers-in-law were usually lazy, and stood below to talk to each other and did not follow the rules.
"I know that it is hard for your mothers to come over in the morning, but since the old lady asked me to help take care of this family, I naturally can't be lazy, I know where you are personally responsible and what you should do. But I will change your monthly allowance and how much money you should get each month. Bai Yu said without hurrying or slowing.
The mothers-in-law were particularly sensitive to silver, and when they heard that Bai Yu was going to change their monthly silver, they all quieted down and listened carefully.
"The monthly silver you should receive every month will still be paid to you on time and in the right amount, but I will add one more item, and in the future, when the places you are responsible for are done, I will give you an extra amount of silver. In the same way, if you do too badly, you will naturally have to deduct some of the silver. Bai Yu said.
Originally, she did this in the fox clan, and if she did a good job, she would naturally get more, so that no one would eat idle food, and those who were talented would work harder for more.
The mothers-in-law listened, bowed their heads and thought about it carefully, they have all been in their positions for more than ten years, and they will naturally not make mistakes and will not be deducted silver.
Everyone felt that it was worth it, so they happily responded, and they also had a little awe of Bai Yu in their hearts, and they could come up with such a good attention, compared to Su Yi'er's master, who couldn't even calculate the account, I don't know how many times better.
Since then, the Hou Mansion has worked hard everywhere, for fear that what he has done here is not as good as elsewhere, and he will not get the extra silver next month, and even the people who are greedy for ink in private are much less, and by the next month, the Hou Mansion has saved nearly half of the expenses.
"Isn't Miss Mo a spell, are all these silver coins conjured up by Miss?" Green pretty stupid road.
