Concubine Li was punished by the Queen Mother and couldn't hide it, not to mention that the Du family also participated in the treasurer, so she naturally got the news quickly.

On the same day, before Zilan came back, the Du family handed over the post and agreed to visit Cui's house again on the second day, asking to visit Cui Yu.

Cui Yu, Cui Jian, Cui Rong, and Zilan were talking in the study, helping to check the list of treasurers and account books and other related information together.

Cui Yu took the post and read it for a long time, then looked up and asked the little guy, "Zi asked to see me alone, and didn't mention other people's names?" ”

The little guy bowed his head respectfully and replied, "I didn't just ask to see the eldest master, and the others didn't mention it." ”

Cui Yu pursed his lips and was not very happy, but he didn't say anything.

Cui Hao became angry when he heard it, "If you don't see it, just say that the eldest master is busy." ”

The little maid looked at the others in the room in embarrassment.

Zilan smiled after hearing this, "He didn't mention my name and didn't take me seriously, after all, I am the treasurer."

I can't bother my father-in-law and elders for everything, I always have to face it alone, if you go to reply, just say that I and the eldest master don't have time. ”

When the little guy heard this, he immediately nodded, "Yes, the slave will go and reply." The eldest master and the second young grandmother are busy and don't have time to see you. ”

"yes, go ahead."

Zilan smiled, and then picked up the information and looked at it, which was a summary of the life, skills, and personality of the relevant treasurers. Only by studying thoroughly can you grasp the big and small leaders of the treasurer.

Cui Yu nodded with satisfaction and glanced at his brother Cui Jian, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"These Shangyi are okay, very measured, I think they can stay and observe. A few of these eunuchs are too slippery, and these few are not greedy for silver. ”

Everyone discussed together that those people should be eliminated, the vacant positions should be replaced by their own people, who should be arranged, and whether the ability can be taken down also needs to be considered and discussed.

The eldest young master of the Du family had been waiting in the gatehouse, and when he saw the little maid coming out, he hurriedly gave a salute.

"I just asked the little brother, would the eldest man be willing to see me?"

The little maid looked at him and shook his head slightly, "The eldest master and the second young grandmother are busy and don't have time to see you, please go back." ”

The eldest young master of the Du family was stunned for a moment, I didn't understand what this meant, I didn't say I wanted to see the second young grandmother.

The little guy smiled, and for the sake of the thick portion of the reward, he mentioned something.

"Our second young grandmother is also the county lord of the second grade, and the treasurer of the fifth grade, is she not qualified to ask you to see?

You look down on our young grandmother of the Cui family, how can our master meet you, our second young grandmother is a younger generation who is even pampered by the old lady, and you are slapping our second young master in the face by doing this. ”

The eldest young master of the Du family suddenly understood, his attitude annoyed the Cui family at the beginning, no wonder everything was not going well, he underestimated Song Zilan.

Although he is a woman, she is also the future wife of the Cui family, so she is despised by others, how can the Cui family take care of him.

Suddenly slapped his head in annoyance, and explained anxiously, "I didn't mean that, I just rashly saw the female dependents disberequent......"

"If you don't follow the rules, our second young master is also here, you go back, you still have to figure out how to behave.

Don't make trouble for the prince in the palace, it's a big deal to get rid of the emperor's disgust. ”

The little guy smiled and stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of please.

The eldest young master of the Du family left the Cui family reluctantly and decided to go back and discuss it with his father. The attitude of the Cui family may not be the attitude of the emperor, the old minister is trusted and relied on by the emperor, and he will not make any statement easily.

Three days later, the Du family father and son came to the door again. This time, he asked to meet Cui Hao and the county lord Jingyi.

Cui Hao took the post and sneered, "It's really light-boned, and it doesn't need to be beaten." ”

Zilan thought for a moment before saying, "I'll see you too, see how much is given to me." ”

"Okay, you go change your clothes, I'll wait for you."

Cui Hao smiled at her.

Zilan went to change into the clothes of the guests, combed her hair again, and put on two hairpins with golden steps. followed Cui Hao to meet the guest.

Old man Cui went to the study, and a guest like the Du family was not qualified to see his old man at all.

When they came to the small hall, the father and son of the Du family were already drinking tea, and when they saw their husband and wife, they immediately got up and saluted.

"Master Du is polite, let you wait for a long time."

Zilan also returned the salute with a slight bow, her grade was higher than that of Master Du.

"You're welcome, we're here to discuss the treasurer......"

This time, the Du family's attitude is very humble, the reason is very simple, the official impeached the Du family, and at the same time, Concubine Li was also reprimanded by the emperor, and the emperor did not step into her bedroom for many days, and even the child was sent to live alone in the prince's house, and the child could not be seen.

Suddenly losing favor, the Du family felt the crisis, Concubine Li asked people to spread the word to make up for the debts immediately, otherwise their mother and son would be in danger.

Master Du didn't wait for Zilan to say anything, and immediately took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and presented them with both hands.

Cui Hao glanced at Zilan and motioned for her to take it.

Zilan took the silver ticket and counted it in front of him, it was indeed a lot, and he could make up for his family's debts.

"Master Du is so generous, don't worry, I will report to the emperor truthfully."

Zilan chuckled.

Master Du's sweat was dripping from his forehead, it turned out that she was not in a hurry and was waiting here, but fortunately it was not too late to wake up.

"Does the treasurer's personnel need to be transferred?"

"Naturally, it is wanted, but as long as there are capable people, they will consider staying at their discretion, and everyone will have a chance to run on the basis of merit."

Master Du understands that some people will definitely be eliminated, but there will also be some people left, as long as they are capable, they will stay.

That's not bad, it's better than being thrown out.

"Those are in trouble with the county lord."

Master Du thought about it for a long time but still didn't dare to make a request, thanked a few words of farewell and left.

When the others followed, Zilan smiled, counted the silver tickets again, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's more than I thought, but it's lightened my load. I can do a lot of things. It's still my grandfather's best. ”

Cui Hao glanced at her and snorted lightly, "Hmph, come less, the sweet words are just to let me work for you, don't think I don't know." ”

Zilan squinted at him, "You see you're stingy, aren't you, I don't look for whom you go, you are my master, I don't ask you to ask anyone, do you want me to ask outsiders?" ”

Cui Hao glared at her, "What does that look like, you put away the silver ticket, it's more convenient to have money for what you want." ”

"Well, the important thing is to open up sources and reduce expenditures, if you want to make money, you can't just save money, you have to think of ways to make money. I need money, I'll think about it. ”

Zilan's tasks are two, one is to reform the treasurer and remove moths; The second is to let the treasurer have the ability to make money independently and restore the glory of the past.

"Well, what do you need, just ask, the elders of the family trust you very much."

Cui Hao took her hand and walked out, going to the study to see her grandfather.

"I know, I have to think clearly before I can speak, I am also a good-looking person, I always want to do the same thing, even if there are loopholes, I can't make big mistakes. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace for you to the elders who defend me? ”

Zilan looked at Cui Hao and smiled sweetly.
