The marriage and placement of the concubine room of the Hou Mansion are all taken care of by the Lin family, the head of the house, and it is normal not to go through the old lady, but now the situation is different, after all, there is so much money, so many shops, who doesn't blush when she sees it? Not to mention that the old lady picked up the money like this, and her eyes lit up!

The old lady didn't think about it so much, but thinking about it according to Gao's words, it was really like that, and nodded: "I also blame me for trusting the Lin family too much, speaking of which, although Aunt Zhang has a lot of shops, I don't know how profitable it has been over the years." ”

No matter how many shops there are, making money is the most important thing, and the old lady knows that she can't divide the shops that Qiao Nian regrets, so she can only find oil and water from profit!

As soon as these words came out, Lu, who had never spoken just now, took over the conversation: "When Aunt Zhang got married, these thirty shops were all profitable, do you remember those things that Aunt Zhang gave you every year a few years ago? They were all taken from the store, and they were all genuine! Among them, the painting of the Linchuan kingfisher was still the Queen Mother who had been looking for several years!"

The Lu family opened his mouth at this time, not because he had the same mind as the Gao family for fear that the world would not be chaotic, but because the old lady was very unhappy with her because Qiao Hongyuan wanted to marry Aunt Zhang, so that she didn't take it seriously when she came to send things, and the Lu family opened this mouth to aggrieved Aunt Zhang.

Of course, the old lady didn't expect that Aunt Zhang sent over the genuine product.

"What you said is true?"

The old lady's eyes widened and a fine light came out, and then she turned her face to look at Ji Xiang Ruyi, her face was full of nervousness, it wouldn't be piled up in the small warehouse and broken, right?

"Old lady, don't worry, the things sent by Aunt Zhang are all for you to keep well!"

Ji Xiang Ruyi has been serving in front of the old lady for so long, so she naturally knows what she thinks in her heart, she was not a good thing before, but now she knows that it is genuine, and she naturally wants to hold the landlord tightly in her arms!

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her heart was even happier, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Seeing that the old lady was so nervous, Lu knew that she had listened to what she said, pursed her lips and continued: "This is the previous situation, and after Aunt Zhang went, these shops were taken over by the second brother and sister, and I heard that the steward changed some people, and the current situation is unknown." ”

Gao's eyes were shining, she was about to talk about it but was picked up by Lu, so she didn't interject, but now that she said this, she just hit her heart, and without waiting for the old lady to speak, she quickly seized the opportunity to show up.

"It is said that half of the thirty shops that Aunt Zhang married are on Prosperity Street, think about it, it must be profitable to be able to gain a foothold in Prosperity Street for so many years!"

Gao squinted his eyes as he spoke, glanced at the old lady, saw that she listened with interest, pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "I heard that the shops on Prosperity Street make at least 20,000 taels of silver every year, and even those in good locations are above 50,000 taels, and although the other shops are scattered elsewhere, they are also good, and they must add up to one million taels a year!

The old lady listened carefully to Gao's calculation of this account, and the more she listened, the more excited she became, and when she heard the last ten million taels, she couldn't even close her mouth!

This literally made her sleep on the mountain of gold!

Qiao Nianxi watched from the side, and saw that the old lady was about to float, so she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "When I can manage the accounts myself, I must take out a year's income to honor my grandmother!"

The old lady and the old lady were stunned, and the abacus in her head quickly calculated, the annual income was one million taels, which was much better than the few rooms under her hands!

Piles of silver money rolled into the words, and the smile on the old lady's face became even brighter, as if there was a feeling of being hit by happiness.

"Oh, you child, grandmother really didn't hurt you in vain!"

While speaking, the old lady smiled with deeper wrinkles on her face, and held Qiao Nianxi's hand a little tighter, eager to hug her and kiss her.

Qiao Nianxi pursed her lips and smiled, a glint flashed in her eyes, she said that it was a year's income rather than a specific number, that is to say, the income of the store is large, the old lady will get more, the income is less, and the old lady is not much here.

From the perspective of such interests, the old lady is planning for herself, so naturally she can't allow the Lin family to fool around here!

Lu Shi turned his face to look at Qiao Nianxi, the expression on his face changed slightly, and when he saw her blinking, his heart calmed down a little.

As everyone was talking, Cui's mother and Lin came back with the account book, and everyone turned their eyes to the door for a while.

The moment Cui's mother entered the door, she looked up at the old lady, and there was a touch of complexity in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared in an instant.

"I'm back so soon, this account is still very easy to calculate!"

When she saw the account book in Cui's mother's hand, the old lady's eyes seemed to see money, and her eyes instantly became a little more bright.

Cui's mother glanced up at the old lady, still with an expressionless face: "Back to the old lady, the account books of each month of the year have not been checked, this is the general account of the past ten years, and the old lady is invited to look at it." ”

"Quick, get it for me!"

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ordered Ruyi to get it, and the anxious expression on her face was like a dog that has been hungry for a few days seeing food!

However, when the old lady saw the numbers in the accounts, she was not at all happy.

It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm stupid, and the expression on my face freezes!

"Ten years, the total profit of thirty stores is only 500,000 taels?" The old lady's hand holding the account book began to tremble, and as she spoke, she turned her face stiffly to look at Lin.

Lin Shi has been frowning since he came in, and now when he heard the old lady's question, his body trembled, and his face was even more flustered.

"My daughter-in-law has been busy with our Qiao family's shop all these years, and Aunt Zhang really doesn't have the energy to do it, so the profit is not very much!"

Lin Shi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and between speaking, fine sweat had already appeared in his palms, and his hands and feet were cold without a trace of temperature.

It's not a lot? It's very few! In this way, a store makes a profit of only a few thousand taels a year.

Before Lin finished speaking, the old lady pulled down her face and slapped it on the table with a bang!

The old lady had just settled accounts with the Gao family's Lin family, and the Lin family's number was far from her expectations, which was obviously something boring!

"The shops on Prosperity Street have a profit of less than 20,000 taels a year, and half of the shops left by Aunt Zhang are in Prosperity Street.

The old lady's eyes were on fire, and her eyeballs were about to pop out, if this was the case, Qiao Nianxi would give her 50,000 taels, and the gap between her teeth was not enough!

Lin's heart was in her throat, she didn't expect the old lady to know the situation like this, and her scalp was numb because of her roar.

"The daughter-in-law is wronged!" Hearing that the old lady even said the private treasury, the Lin family felt a chill down her spine, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop: "The old lady is clear, and the daughter-in-law is negligent in management and doesn't dare to deny it, but even if there are a hundred dares, she doesn't dare to swallow this silver privately!"

"Hmph!" the old lady sneered coldly and rolled her eyes at the Lin family: "Just now we made a rough budget according to the market in these years, and these thirty shops have made a profit of at least 10 million in the past ten years, and you will quote me 500,000 taels of money!"

In the last two sentences, the old lady almost shouted out, she was not collecting debts for Qiao Nianxi, but helping herself to chase them!

Lin was forced by the old lady to dare not raise her head, and a cold sweat broke out on her back instantly, and the breeze blew in, making her shiver.

However, after all, the Lin family has been in power for many years, and although it is now a combination of stolen goods, it calmed down a little and stabilized his mind.

"Profit is indeed more than that, but four or five years ago, our Hou Mansion had an accident, and the old man has been doing things for many years, and the expenses are not small, in order not to affect the food and clothing in the house, the daughter-in-law embezzled the money in the emergency, which is really no way!"

After Lin Shi finished a few words, he raised his head, different from the nervous face just now, and now he was a little more aggrieved.

Everyone was brought out a little memory by Lin's words, thinking about the situation back then, and silently calculated in their hearts.

Qiao Nianxi stood next to him and looked at Lin's expression with a look of grievance, a sneer appeared on her lips, and she looked at Gao with a sideways face, and nodded when she saw her winking at her.

Gao's eyelids picked, and he approached the old lady: "Our Qiao family's three courtyards have accounts for food and clothing, and Aunt Zhang's thirty shops have been 10 million taels in the past ten years, this is not a small number, you said that you added a home, but you didn't see anything added, don't take us for fools!"

The Gao family has always spoken ruthlessly, not to mention that now that the old lady is backing up, it is naturally even more worry-free!

Lin's face turned pale, he lowered his head and glanced at Gao's below, and secretly looked up at the old lady, but he didn't want to, at this time, the old lady was also looking at her, and caught her eyes at the moment when she retracted her gaze.

"Lin's!" The old lady listened to Gao's words now, stared at Lin and yelled, and slapped the table again, directly shaking the cup and almost spilling it.

"In vain, I trust you so much, and I hand over all the things up and down the family to you to manage, you are such a steward?

The old lady held a breath to her throat, choked before she finished speaking, and couldn't help coughing violently.

"I ...... I don't have it, old lady!" Lin Shi heard the old lady mention the public account again, and his heart trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly explained that he wanted to change the topic.

However, today Qiao Nianxi and the Gao family are here to check with her, where can she transfer so quickly?

Without waiting for Lin to change the topic, Gao hurriedly helped the old lady to persuade him, but the words he said burned a handful of firewood in the old lady's heart.

"Don't worry, old lady, these words are all out of your mouth, it doesn't prove anything, anyway, everyone is there, it's better to take out the public account to check it, and you will naturally understand." ”

Lin Shi shuddered, almost collapsed on the ground, bursts of impact hit her head, and her temples jumped suddenly!
