Text Chapter 174 The Treasury Enters and Exits
Hearing Aunt Shen helping Steward Song speak, Ding Page was not annoyed, she still maintained a light smile on her face, and when Aunt Shen finished her half-threatening words, she smiled slowly and said softly: "I naturally know what Aunt Shen means, how can there be no rules?" The Hao family has a big business, so naturally there must be rules to continue from generation to generation. It's just that I just want to take a look at the account books of the treasury today, so as to understand the situation of the warehouse, and now that I am in charge, is it possible that I don't even have the right to know? ”
Indeed, although Ding Yezi had doubts about Song Steward's words, she really didn't say a word about Song Steward's badness, and now Hao Mansion is her in charge, if she, the head of the house, doesn't even have the power to look at the treasury account book, how can she be called the person in charge? Isn't it just a name?
Aunt Shen couldn't refute for a while, snorted angrily, turned her head and ignored Ding Page.
Aunt Shen was silent, and Ding Page looked at Steward Song again, sitting on Mount Tai indifferently, "Steward Song, can I be qualified to look at the account books of the treasury?" ”
Steward Song subconsciously glanced at Aunt Shen, but when he saw Aunt Shen nodding at him, he lowered his head and made a gesture to Ding Page, and said in a deep voice: "Since the young lady is in charge, she naturally has the right to look at it, young lady, wait, the old slave will go and get it." ”
Ding Yezi's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll bother Steward Song." ”
Song Xun didn't even dare to say, this was all his business.
Afterwards, Song Xun went back to the room to get the account book of the treasury, and the meeting hall of the South Courtyard fell silent for a while, Ding Yezi only planned to take Song Xun first, and did not plan to implicate too many people, as long as those stewards knew that she was not easy to fool, and did not plan to deceive her easily. Of course, if the real account hadn't appeared after three days, it would be no wonder that she had done it again. What's the use of this kind of deceitful minions?
When he was young, Steward Song appeared with a stack of account books in his hand.
At the suggestion of Ding Page, Steward Song directly placed the account book on the table next to her for her to view.
In front of so many stewards, in front of Aunt Shen, Ding Page Ziwu picked up the warehouse entry and exit account book of last month and looked at it, and saw that it was written that three ginseng plants were entered last month, and then she picked up the warehouse entry and exit account book of last month and looked through it again, as Steward Song said just now, the above record did say that the treasury prepared four mountain ginseng, and then all of them were used by Hao Ling.
Although it was a verification of Steward Song's words, Ding Yezi did not give up, and directly looked through the treasury books in July and August. There was nothing to do in July and August, except for the two ginsengs used by Master Hao, and no one else used them.
The corners of Ding Yezi's mouth curled slightly, and a sneer appeared on her lips.
The account book was put down, Ding Yezi looked at Steward Song with an indifferent expression, tapped the account book lightly with one hand, and asked softly: "Steward Song, are you sure that the accounts in and out of the treasury in the past few months are here?" ”
Steward Song nodded heavily, and said with a straight face: "If you go back to the young lady, the treasury has been here for the past few months." ”
Ding Page sneered, swept all the account books on the table to the ground, and looked at Steward Song with heavy eyes, "Steward Song, you have been a warehouse manager in Hao Mansion for many years, and the master and aunt both trust you, so you repay Hao Mansion for your kindness?" ”
But anyone with a little common sense knows that the treasury is a fat shortage, since Song Xun has been able to work in the treasury for many years, it naturally has a certain relationship with Aunt Shen's promotion, and Aunt Shen has always supported him behind him. is also because there is a backstage like Aunt Shen, so Song Xun used to walk sideways in the house, how could anyone have given him no face like this? In front of so many people, he swept the account book he presented to the ground.
Song Xun's face was also ugly, in his eyes, Ding Yezi was still a chick who had not grown all his hair, where was he qualified to be the master of the house? The old man is just giving the eldest young master a face, she really thinks that she is already in power?
"Young lady," Song Xun said in a deep voice: "The old slave has also done things in the Hao Mansion for many years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, I don't know what the young lady means by this?" When Mrs. is in charge, these account books will be sent to Mrs. Yueyue for trial, and now the young lady suspects that the account books are fake, is she also suspicious of Mrs.? ”
Song Xun deserves to be Lao Jiang, and immediately buckled a heavy hat on Ding Page's head!
You must know that although Aunt Shen is only an aunt, she is a good concubine and a person with status, plus she has contributed a lot to Hao's Mansion for so many years, Ding Yezi suspects that her behavior can also be regarded as unfilial!
Ding Yezi didn't bother to talk to him, but said softly to Dong'er beside him: "Dong'er, go and bring all the account books in my study." ”
As Ding Page's words fell, Aunt Shen glanced at Dong'er fiercely, thinking that maybe Dong'er had betrayed her, and had discussed it with Ding Pagezi earlier.
Dong'er was really wronged, Ding Page didn't tell her anything beforehand, she didn't even know what Ding Page said about the account book. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a low voice, "What is the account book that the young lady said?" ”
Ding Page said: "You go to the study, there is a box on the desk, you just go and bring it to me." ”
Dong'er Nuonuo's answer was yes, and he hurriedly strode towards the study.
Aunt Shen quietly glanced at Shen's mother, and Shen's mother understood, and quietly followed Dong'er's back.
The East Courtyard is the territory of Hao Ling and Ding Page, if Shen's mother goes in directly behind Dong'er, it will inevitably arouse Ding Page's suspicion, so she is just waiting behind a small rockery outside the East Courtyard. When Dong'er came out with the box, Shen's mother appeared at the right time and pulled Dong'er behind the rockery.
After being dragged to the rockery suddenly, Dong'er was startled, and was about to shout in panic, Shen's mother hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about?" It's me! ”
Only then did Dong'er see that it was someone who came, and when she saw that it was Mother Shen, her expression panicked slightly.
She is not a foolish person, and now that she is serving in the East Courtyard, she should keep a certain distance from the South Courtyard in terms of reasoning, otherwise with her situation, she will inevitably be displeasing to both sides. If something happened, Aunt Shen wouldn't come forward for a little girl like her.
"Mother Shen, what are you ......," Dong'er said in a trembling voice.
Mother Shen glanced at Dong'er with a cold face, then looked at the box in her arms, and motioned for Dong'er to open it.
I don't know if Ding Yezi's defense is too low, or if she trusts Dong'er too much, and the box is not locked, anyone can open it and take a look.
Dong'er looked at Shen's mother in embarrassment, with a begging look in her eyes.
If this matter is known to Ding Page, she will not be able to treat her in the East Courtyard in the future. Now the young lady still trusts her, and she can see that the eldest young master is really good to the young lady, why should she destroy her future?
Mother Shen snorted coldly, poked a finger at Dong'er's head, and said viciously: "It's really against your little hoof, and now you won't allow me to see anything?" Your wings are stiff, aren't they? ”
Dong'er bent down slightly and made a humble look, "Mother Shen, what are you talking about?" No matter how bold I am, I will not dare not listen to you. ”
"Hmph...... Then hurry up and open the box for me, I want to take a look. Shen's mother said in a deep voice.
Dong'er hugged the box in her arms tightly, and said: "Mother Shen, we are all subordinates, you should also know the difficulties of subordinates, now that I am on an errand beside the young lady, if this matter is known by the young lady, my life will be sad in the future." ”
Mother Shen looked at her disdainfully and sneered: "Are you afraid that the young lady will not give you a good life, aren't you afraid of the lady?" I heard that your eldest brother was sick a while ago, do you know what's going on? We have a lot of things to do in Haofu, and I'm afraid that this kind of patient staying in the shop will have a bad impact, so I think it's time for him to pack up and go home to recuperate. ”
Dong'er panicked, the eldest brother is the pillar of the family, if he has no job, where will the living expenses of the old father and mother, sister-in-law and nephew come from in the future? It is impossible to feed a family with her small monthly routine alone.
Taking advantage of Dong'er's slightly relaxed expression, Shen's mother opened the box in her arms, reached out and opened the lock on the box, and turned over the contents of the box.
What puzzled her was that the account book in the box was the one that Ding Page had asked for from Aunt Shen two days ago, and there were no other account books. She carefully flipped through the account books again to see if Ding Page had done anything in them, but to her disappointment, Ding Page had not done anything, only a few notes in the account books. She pulled out one of the slips of paper and looked at it carefully, only to see that there were some markings written on it like ghostly marks, which she had never seen before, and she didn't know what they meant.
Flipping her hand and showing the paper in front of Dong'er, Shen's mother said in a deep voice: "Dong'er, do you know what these marks mean?" ”
Dong'er shook her head blankly, she didn't understand, when the young lady looked at the account book, she never allowed them to serve beside her, and she would only call them when she was instructed, how did she know what it meant?
Shen's mother estimated that Dong'er didn't have the courage to know and not report it, and she couldn't guess what it meant, so she had to put the note back into the account book. Then he closed the lid of the box and said to Dong'er: "It's done, hurry up and send it over, the lady and the young lady are still waiting." ”
Dong'er got the box, and when she saw that Shen's mother didn't do anything, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodded to Shen's mother, and strode towards the south courtyard.
Mother Shen entered the council hall behind Dong'er and quietly shook her head at Aunt Shen, meaning that she hadn't found anything.
Aunt Shen believed in Shen's mother, so she didn't take Ding Page's behavior to heart.
