Chapter 47 - Audit of Books (2)

Lan Yi is the bride, the clothes on her body are still festive colors, originally her eyebrows and eyes were soft and generous, such a color, but it made her face a little more sharp, because after marrying, her hair was put together in one place, and the hairpin matched the gold, jade and silver ornaments on it, and the momentum was lined out, so that people dare not underestimate it.

Even Mama Wan, who had just stopped talking, stopped talking at this time, she looked up at the sun, and thought, this three o'clock in the afternoon, is the time to ask for beheading, it is said that at this time, the yang energy is the strongest, and the demons and monsters have nothing to hide, so if you kill people, the soul has nowhere to escape, this hour, for people who have done something wrong, it is not a good sign.

But the omen is the omen, she has the support of Concubine Ying, which is different from others.

What kind of mind does Mama Wan have, Lan Yi can guess how much, she also knows that this kind of person will not be taught a lesson if she is suppressed once or twice, she has to take her time until she catches a heinous mistake, and now she can restrain Concubine Ying's thoughts about installing people in the mansion, which is the key.

She sat down, accepted everyone's courtesy, looked around, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Today's first time to clear the account of the prince's mansion, I forgot the hour for a while, are you in a hurry?" ”

Mama Wan saluted, still with that steady appearance, "What did the princess say, we are slaves, and waiting for the princess is what it should be." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Then let's eat first, you are not young, and your body can't bear it if you don't eat." When I'm done, I have a few words to ask you. Eat together as a family member and be kind. ”

Mama Wan thought that Lan Yi was afraid of offending all the people in the house, so she set up such a table, and said something like "family" to win people's hearts, thinking that sure enough, this Princess Gong was brainless as the rumors said, no matter how she raised her identity and dignity the night before, she also showed her original form today.

However, when it came time to speak, Mama Wan was very polite and respectful, "Princess, this is not in accordance with the rules, how can there be a housewife when she eats, and the people are also eating on the low stool next to her?" If people know, they will be in the eyes of slaves and maids. ”

Lan Yi smiled and said, "If you don't talk about the affairs of our house, who can know?" Or do you have a meal with me, and when you turn around, you will deliberately make everyone in the capital know? are all people who are dedicated to the palace, so they shouldn't be so bastards. ”

Mama Wan was speechless for a while, and Lan Yi raised her hand, "Sit down, eat and then talk, things have to be done, but everyone's stomachs have to be filled first, right?" ”

When everyone saw that Mama Wan was deflated, they could only thank her, sit on a low stool according to their identity, and eat silently.

Lan Yi used a few dishes, ate a few more bites of rice, put the chopsticks aside, and let Ning Fu scoop up the fresh fish soup to drink, which was delicious. I have to say that the cook in Prince Gong's mansion is well found, if there are no such troubles, eat and drink every day, and the small life should be very pleasant.

After seeing the bottom of a bowl of rice, she put down the bowl in her hand and asked, "Mama Wan, is this meal still to your taste?" ”

Mama Wan hurriedly bowed her head and replied: "He, he, the cook of Prince Gong's Mansion was personally selected by His Royal Highness, and the craftsmanship of cooking is naturally not to be said." ”

Lan Yi smiled and said: "That's good, so as not to starve the old bones of Mama, no one in the palace is in charge, and I don't even have a place to take regret medicine." ”

Mama Wan knew that she heard what she had just said, although she was a little afraid, she would never admit her mistake immediately, laughed dryly, and said: "The princess is really joking, the slave maid is a little old, she is uncomfortable when she is hungry, and her body can't hold on, but the slave and maid are loyal to the princess and Her Royal Highness, even if they are sick, they will support the palace in good order." ”

Lan Yi nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is there a banquet in the palace today?" ”

Mama Wan was stunned, "No." ”

Lan Yi asked again: "Then there are outsiders coming?" ”

Mama Wan said: "The slave maid didn't hear about it. ”

Lan Yi said, "What kind of festival do you want to prepare?" Or are you going to hire new people again? ”

Mama Wan was puzzled, "Back to the princess, you didn't say anything." ”

Lan Yi smiled, "This is strange, everything is as usual today, why do many people think that the palace is about to collapse without her?" On weekdays, how unstrict your majesty is, if you don't show up for half a day, you feel that the world is going to be in chaos. I think about the Holy New Year's Day, and you can hang the seal and rest for a while, but you are more diligent than the Holy One, and you can't leave for a moment. ”

These words are too powerful, no one dares to cross the saint, and quickly leads everyone to kneel on the ground, "The princess said so, but she tortured the slaves and maids!" ”

Lan Yi didn't scream, only glanced at Ning Fu, Ning Fu knew what he meant, took the account book on the top, handed it to Lan Yi, as the book was opened, Lan Yi's voice seemed to melt with the sun, making people sweat on their backs.

"If you are hungry and thirsty, you can think of eating and drinking, which is not a big problem, but if people's hearts are black and poisonous, they can't be saved for a while. I understand the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, but being greedy for a little cheap and wanton looting are two completely different things, the former may be to make the family live better, and the latter is insatiable, and I want to rely on the main family to suck blood and eat meat, I will never tolerate it. ”

The more she spoke of the back, the more powerful her voice became, and the last word jumped out of her mouth, and she threw the ledger in her hand to the ground, making a heavy sound, which made some people break out in a cold sweat and then feel cold.

Mama Wan gritted her teeth and asked, "Why can't the slave and maid understand what the princess says?" ”

"Mama Wan, I haven't asked you yet, just take care of your mouth now." Lan Yi beat her back with a word, and finally began to settle accounts with her subordinates one by one.

"First of all, the procurement of this piece, if you inquire carefully, you can talk about a small half an hour, last year's November account, all confused, thirty white jade wine cups, thirty jasper tea bowls, the price is more expensive than the outside one by one, and jade Ruyi's account, the price is not the number, what is even more ridiculous is the ordinary screen, bought dozens of planes in one go, transported from the south of the city to Prince Gong's mansion, such a short distance, even more than half, can be used now, more than ten planes, those who have not seen, Whether it is damaged or not at all, you know in your hearts. ”

Lan Yi's smile was very cold, "As for the account after November, I don't need to count it anymore, I just know what the situation is, don't try to hide the greedy silver, if I return to the queen mother, I will search immediately, and I will definitely check it accurately, you don't think that it is useless to ventilate the news, not to mention that the queen mother is a person who knows everything, just say that there is such a shameful thing in the palace of the three princes, for the sake of face, even the ends of the earth must be recovered." ”

The grandmother who bought in the house in the tube was sweating like rain, and there were 10,000 words of accusation in her head, but when she got to her mouth, she didn't know which sentence to say first, so it was easy to think about it, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lan Yi, "Your business, you will be punished later, and then talk about the mistakes of other people." ”

Pile by pile, piece by piece, Lan Yi took the account book, and turned a page to explain the deficit clearly, the people were hungry and uncomfortable before, but now they are full of wine and food, but they are even more uncomfortable than just now, their brains are flushed with blood, and their hands and feet are slightly numb.

The person who has not yet been ordered quietly went to hold Mama Wan's sleeve, hoping that she can think of a way, after all, not all of these greedy silver taels are used by their own families, at least half of them are used to please Mama Wan, and now they are suffering, Mama Wan always has to come out and say something.

But Mama Wan is such a smart person, at this time, she has seen Lan Yi's ability clearly, and knows that she is not a person who is easy to fool, even if she has Concubine Ying behind her, she is afraid that she will become an outcast because of causing trouble to her master, she retracted her sleeve, knelt there with low eyebrows, and quietly moved a few steps on her knees, showing that she and they are by no means the same kind of people.

Lan Yi took in these small actions, smiled secretly in her heart, and when what she had to say was finished, she patted the rest of the account books, and said coldly: "These remaining volumes are either duplicates with the previous three books, or they are some fragmentary accounts that can be summarized in other account books, we are not in the palace in Prince Gong's Mansion, we don't need so many books, and when the time comes, we will go to one place, make the accounts more refreshing, and then check them in the future, so you don't have to wait for half a day." Mama Wan, do you understand? ”

Mama Wan hurriedly spoke, "I understand, the princess manages the family so neatly, the slave and maid have seen it, and in the future, the princess will take the lead of the princess, and I will not dare to cause you any trouble." ”

"You've really caused me a lot of trouble." Lan Yi was not polite at all, "Tell me, how should these people who are greedy for silver be punished?" I originally wanted to tell the queen mother, but you also know that the queen mother is weak, and even her father feels sorry for her and doesn't ask her to take care of the forbidden city's home. You have an idea what these people are all about. ”

Wan Mama knew that she pushed herself out as a target, but she had nothing to say, so she could only stubbornly say: "The silver money that is greedy for ink should naturally be made up, but these people have been in the palace for so long, and there is no merit and hard work, the slave and maid think, it will fall the face of His Royal Highness and you if it is sent out, it will definitely not work, it is better to hit ten boards by one person, and fine them three months of money, so that they can have a long memory, as for the slave and maid, it is also wrong to supervise it strictly, the slave and maid admit it, please the princess also fine the slave and maid for a month's monthly money." ”

As soon as these words came out, some mother-in-law couldn't help it and shouted: "Mama only said that we should be beaten, and she didn't say why we should be greedy for silver." Yes, we are greedy, and we are open to money, but you are no better, you have to be filial to us for three days, and if you can't make up for you here, you will be put in small shoes. Now that the accounts are at the end of the day, why do we have to be beaten by the board, and you only deduct so much silver and lose it lightly? ”
