The second aunt, Lin, greeted Sheng Rujin at the door.

Sheng Rujin walked in with a smile, grabbed the arm of the second aunt Lin, and said with a smile: "What is the second aunt doing so politely." I just remembered that the tea here from my second aunt was delicious, and I happened to come over today to ask for a cup of hot tea. ”

The second aunt Lin led her inside, and said with a smile: "Hey, what's worth it about a cup of tea?" If you like it, the concubine will send two or three catties to the eldest lady. ”

Sheng Rujin pursed his lips and smiled: "Two or three catties? Oh my God, aren't you going to drink me? No, no, I just think that the second aunt is clean here. ”

The two talked and laughed and entered the room.

When Sheng Rujin came, it was the time when he picked up the daughters-in-law of the housekeepers to report the use of the house.

Because the old lady of the Sheng family is coming soon, there are more projects in and out of the house, and people come to Qingfeng Courtyard all day and night.

The second aunt Lin's house was not big, and the housekeepers and daughters-in-law who came sat from the inner room to the outer room. A group of people chattered, so lively.

Sheng Rujin entered the house by the second aunt Lin's hand. A room full of daughters-in-law, big and small, got up and saluted and saw her.

Sheng Rujin sat on the top, and the second aunt Lin sat beside her. After serving fragrant tea and refreshments, the second aunt Lin was busy talking to several housekeepers and daughters-in-law.

Sheng Rujin listened carefully while drinking tea.

The second aunt Lin said for a while, and said to her apologetically: "It's been a busy past two days. Miss and casual, we'll talk about it later. I hope the eldest lady will forgive me for the neglect. ”

Sheng Rujin smiled: "I came here to play." The second aunt will do the right thing first, and I'll have fun. ”

The second aunt, Lin, was relieved and talked to several housekeepers and daughters-in-law about entering and leaving the house. Sheng Rujin listened quietly on the side. She is already extremely intelligent, plus she has memories of her past life, so she naturally knows the ins and outs by listening to it.

After half an hour, the second aunt Lin finally sent those daughters-in-law away, and she breathed a big sigh of relief.

Sheng Rujin's eyes flowed, and she said with a smile: "The second aunt is really hard. Mother is not in the house these days, does the second aunt work so hard every day? ”

The second aunt Lin sighed: "It's not! Every day when I open my eyes, I have to calculate this and that, and I have to calculate the money, and I have to check what I did in previous years, how much I have been given, but I am so busy that I hit the back of my head. ”

Sheng Rujin lowered her eyes and slowly fiddled with the tea cup in her hand: "Second aunt, if it weren't for the fact that I watched the second aunt work so hard today, I would have said that the second aunt has fun coming and going." ”

"Alas, it's really not a good family, I don't know that vegetables, rice, oil, and salt are expensive."

The second aunt Lin immediately complained: "It's not! This lady is not in the house, and this matter is even more difficult. A few stewards in the house have to do things, and I have to give it here, go to the lady's side, and the lord will also give it, and then approve a note to go to the treasury to pay the silver. Alas, it's grinding. ”

Sheng Rujin smiled slightly: "I see." No wonder the second aunt is so tired. As I say, it's not too much to do. I see that other people's homes are all simplified, why is our Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion so cumbersome? ”

She didn't turn around and said: "I have an idea, I can solve the second aunt's current predicament, and I can also give the second aunt some benefits, and the second aunt must not beat me." ”

Second Aunt Lin's eyes immediately lit up: "What's the idea?" Miss, don't worry, as long as you have the right idea and can solve the cumbersomeness in front of you, how can the concubine blame the eldest lady? ”

Sheng Rujin sorted out his thoughts and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. Now these entrances and exits in the house are to report to all three ends, and then go to the treasury to get the approval slip to pay the silver. I have to go back to the degree or something. It's annoying to come and go. ”

"According to me, my father, as a left-hand minister, has always been concerned about the internal affairs of the house. Therefore, his father gave him a note once every five days, indicating the large amount of silver that should be purchased and used in these five days. Madame's side is still retribution. ”

"However, there is a change. The treasury withdrew the money and asked the father to give it a quota at a time. Refund more and make up for less, and make up once every five days. Let's talk about the past few days before Madame returns home. Otherwise, it is not good to delay the procurement of the birthday banquet. ”

The second aunt, Lin, listened to this, and her eyes lit up.

Sheng Rujin's meaning is very clear. Advance the money first to do the work, and then report it later, which saves a lot of cumbersome processes. What's more, she can occasionally take some benefits when she buys them, so that she doesn't have to work as a coolie or have any oil and water. But......

The second aunt Lin hesitated: "But the eldest lady doesn't know, the treasury in the mansion is Steward Zhang, and he is the old man in the mansion......"

Sheng Rujin immediately understood when he heard it.

This person in charge of the silver is the eldest lady Zhou's people.

She sneered in her heart. Today, she came to upset the bottom of the eldest lady Zhou.

Zhou is the first year of junior high school, and she is the fifteenth.

Come on, let's hurt each other.

It's just that this kind of wealthy family hurts each other, and it is really fatal, and there is no blood. Zhou took her younger brother Sheng Shuyun to force Sheng Yuming to bow his head, and forced Sanfang to mess up.

This time, she came to lift the foundation of the Zhou family and cut off one of her most important minions.

Sheng Rujin thought about it and smiled slightly: "Second aunt, I didn't say it." This steward has been in the house for more than ten or twenty years. He was in charge of the money in the treasury all along. ”

The second aunt Lin shook her head when she heard this: "Miss, you are wrong, he is in charge of the silver in the treasury, but Mrs. is also in charge." ”

Sheng Rujin smiled: "I'll just ask the second aunt, if you are the manager of Zhang, you have the right to withdraw the silver, will you be so clean?" ”

The second aunt, Lin, was stunned when she heard this. She thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes widened: "What does the eldest lady mean ......"

Sheng Rujin glanced at the room with bright eyes, and at this time, there was only a personal maid beside the second aunt Lin in the room to serve the tea.

The second aunt, Lin, hurriedly withdrew her.

Sheng Rujin waited for no one in the house to say: "I heard that Steward Zhang bought a Zhuangzi for his son last year, and there are 100 acres of fertile land. ”

The second aunt Lin was shocked: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Sheng Rujin's eyes were cold, but there was a smile on his face: "Of course it's true." If you don't believe it, the second aunt can send someone to check, it's in Dingxian. Find one called Zhang Yushan. That was Steward Zhang's second son. ”

The second aunt Lin's face trembled: "What does the eldest lady mean?" ”

There are some words that can't be ordered too much. Sheng Rujin took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Father hates people to enrich his own pockets the most. The second aunt can think of a way. ”

The second aunt Lin groaned.

Sheng Rujin is not in a hurry. This matter is a bit big, she knows where the second aunt Lin's concerns are.

Steward Zhang's name is Zhang Shilin, and he is an old steward who has been in the Zuo Xiangfu's mansion for nearly 20 years. At first, it was his father Sheng Yuming who personally found him, and later after the Zhou family entered the mansion, he was drawn into his own person.
