Chapter 248: The Problem with the Ledger
Gu Yanbai's official position is here, even if he is a junior, these people don't dare to rely on the old and sell the old in front of him, so they can only find a way to support him.
Gu Yanbai knew very well that these people were not good stubble, he shook his head, and always had a smile on his face: "Second uncle, Xiaoxi is my wife, her business is my business, just tell me something." ”
"This ......" The man called the second uncle hesitated a little, and was impatiently interrupted by the fifth uncle in the back: "What to say to the two of them here, let's go, let's ask the old lady for an explanation!" ”
As he spoke, he walked in with someone, and the others followed one after another, Mingyuexi and Gu Yanbai glanced at each other, and also walked into the old lady's courtyard.
"Old Madam Gu, you just passed the birthday banquet, we shouldn't have come to disturb us, but you did something that made us all puzzled, so I came to the door, I'm really embarrassed."
Old Madam Gu looked at them, probably knowing why they came, her face was a little bad, and she didn't say anything with a straight face.
"We heard that you gave this woman several shops from the Gu family, why is that?" The fifth uncle pointed to Mingyuexi and asked indignantly, "You also know what her background is, and in the end, she is just an outsider, it is really inappropriate for you to do this!" ”
"It's not appropriate for me to give the creek, can it be okay to give it to you?" Old Madam Gu didn't have a good airway, so she coughed twice in anger, and several people looked at each other.
"We don't have any other intentions, we are just worried that the property of the Hou Mansion will fall into the hands of outsiders......"
Gu Yanbai hurriedly stepped forward and patted Old Madam Gu on the back, and after a while, he straightened up and faced these people.
"A few uncles, grandmother is in poor health, she just listens to the side, left and right in front of grandmother, nothing will go wrong, I'll tell grandmother for me."
"First, the grandmother's dowry is the grandmother's own thing, and the dowry is a little reliance of the woman in her husband's family, which does not belong to the family property of the Hou Mansion."
"Second, my grandmother just handed over these shops to Xiaoxi to take care of, and didn't give them to her directly, and now my grandmother's people are running them, so your worries are completely overwhelmed."
Listening to Gu Yanbai's words, the uncles didn't say anything, only the second uncle said without thinking: "But these things will ...... in the future" After the old lady dies, these things will naturally belong to the Hou Mansion.
Halfway through his speech, he noticed that the strange eyes of the people around him suddenly stopped talking, and then saw that the old lady's face had darkened, and he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart.
"Alright, stop arguing here, let's all go out." The old lady directly gave the order to evict the guest, and she didn't have a good face anymore, so she turned her back directly.
Although everyone was unwilling, they were already embarrassed today, and they could only find a way to come to the next day, so they left one after another.
Mingyuexi pursed her lips and looked at the old lady's yard with some uneasiness: "Yanbai, will grandmother blame me?" ”
Gu Yanbai stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, his eyebrows were gentle and softly reassured: "Don't worry, grandmother is like a mirror in her heart, she knows who is right and wrong, she knows who those uncles are, and she doesn't blame you for their trouble." ”
After sending Mingyuexi back, the smile on Gu Yanbai's face disappeared suddenly, he returned to his room, quickly summoned his secret guards, and transferred some people to follow Mingyuexi's side.
These uncles were all blinded by interests, and they just heard about it and made trouble, not to mention that after that, it was not easy for Mingyuexi to face him alone.
In the evening, after dinner, Mingyuexi went to the old lady again with a nervous mood.
The old lady's face had returned to normal, she was still kind, and Mingyuexi's heart was also put down a little, and she walked over and sat beside the old lady.
"Grandmother, I took a look at the situation of these shops today, and found that the income situation is not very good, can I bring the account book and see what the problem is?"
"It's grandmother's negligence, you need these to run the shop," the old lady asked her maid to find out the account book and hand it to Ming Yuexi, "I'm old, it's not good to take care of it again, I've been in charge of the housekeeper in the house all these years, if you need any help, you can just hand it over to him, you don't have to work too hard to tidy it up yourself." ”
"Your body, but you still bear the hope of the successor of the Hou Mansion!"
Mingyuexi was moved by what she heard, but the old lady's sudden change in topic made her blush all of a sudden: "Grandmother, I ...... with Yanbai"
Old Madam Gu was amused by her shy appearance and laughed heartily, she liked her more and more, patted her hand, and stopped her laughter: "Okay, grandmother knows that you are embarrassed, just don't say it, but don't get tired of it." ”
Old Madam Gu's busy words had a deep meaning, Mingyuexi's face turned crimson, and she fled.
She took the account book back to the room, but fortunately Gu Yanbai was not there, so she breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down to look through the account book.
Although she doesn't understand business, she can still understand the money transactions, which are nothing more than numbers.
While reading, Mingyuexi held the pen and calculated, stopped from time to time, and thought about a place for a long time, she read each page very carefully, and did not turn the next page until it was checked.
She looked at the account book so intently that she didn't even notice that Gu Yanbai didn't know when she came in.
Gu Yanbai walked into the room and found that she didn't react, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, after gently closing the door, he walked behind Mingyuexi, watching her concentrate on dealing with the account book in her hand, and his heart moved inexplicably.
It felt as if he was working hard outside, and there was a virtuous helper at home to share the burden for him, and in this quiet room, there was a sense of peace of mind that he had never felt before, perhaps it should be called the feeling of home.
However, although this scene was warm, Gu Yanbai did not forget that it was already a child, he coughed lightly, Mingyuexi was startled by him, and rubbed her sour eyes: "Why did you come here suddenly?" ”
"I saw that there was still light in your room, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect to call you twice at the door and no one answered," he picked up the ledger on the table with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "Is the ledger so good-looking, it actually makes you forget to sleep and eat." ”
"This is all white silver, of course it looks good," Ming Yuexi said seriously, reaching out to grab the account book, Gu Yanbai raised her hand, making her pounce, she looked up and glared at him, "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Yanbai checked the account book in his hand, and also looked at her with a serious expression just now: "It's time now, you need to rest, now I will give you two choices, one is for you to sleep, and the second is for me to sleep with you, you choose for yourself." ”
"I ......" Mingyuexi didn't expect him to come to play hooligan, she gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily, and she couldn't do anything about him.
