Chapter 101 Yin eats grain

Seeing that Pei Shufen was not, Ning Yuanhou coughed softly, and said that it was decided. In the future, Yi'er and Qianqian will both be twenty taels. Their daily dishes, you let the big kitchen take care of them. Don't forget the clothes and jewelry of the four seasons, and the furnishings in the house. Although they live with me, they are still the people of your big house, and I cannot favor one over the other. This is for the second hearer.

Dafang now has three children living in Tai, and the second is already very dissatisfied, and has been urging the second master, Chu Huacheng, to send their daughter-in-law to live with Tai.

The second stared at Pei Shufen, and said with a smile that the sister-in-law is really virtuous, and she can't do such a trivial matter, and she still glanced at the Hou Ye. ”

Pei Shufen hurriedly withdrew his eyes, smiled at the second brother, and said that the second brother and sister were also wrong. Although I am in charge of the inner house, but in this house, it is still the Hou Ye who is in charge, and I am just helping the Hou Ye to take care of it, of course, I have to ask for everything. - If you are not as good as the second brother and sister, in the second room, I am beyond the reach of my sister-in-law. ”

Hearing Pei Shufen ridiculing her for not being virtuous, Er glanced at Tai in a little panic, but saw that Tai had already turned his head to Xia who was sitting next to her, and didn't seem to hear what they were fighting here.

Shen chuckled lightly on it, and said Fourth aunt, there is something wrong with what you said. ”

He Ningxin also shook her head, looking disagreeing.

Pei Shufen was angry when she saw He Ningxin's appearance, as if every time she was embarrassed, He Ningxin was watching from the side, so she ignored her mother's sister-in-law Shen, but looked at He Ningxin, what did she think of the Zhenguo Gong? - Do you think I'm not right? Pei Shufen doesn't believe it, she thinks her husband is the sky, can these people still pick it out?

He Ningxin saw that Pei Shufen directly aimed the finger, stretched out her hand and patted Shen Shi, who was about to have a seizure, and threw her a comforting look, then looked up at Pei Shufen, and said softly Ning Yuanhou, do you know what the phrase 'outside the male lead, inside the female lead' means? ”

Pei Shufen walked a few steps to He Ningxin's side, took a handkerchief and printed it on her lips, only then turned half of her face sideways, and said, "Outside the male lead", of course, it means that men have to make up their minds about major matters outside. 'Inside' is the matter in the inner house, so it's the idea to get it. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shufen's face turned red, and the mouth he had just slapped overturned all the words just now.

The second hurriedly followed the fun, covered her mouth with the bamboo dark green sprinkling fan of Xiangfei and said with a smile The sister-in-law is in charge of the inner courtyard, but she still needs to ask for everything, and it seems that she still can't pay attention to the affairs of the back house. - If you don't have the ability, you really don't have to hold on. Our family, hundreds of people up and down, all point to your sister-in-law. ”

Pei Shufen said that she missed her mouth, so she had to endure her anger and blessed He Ningxin, and said I said it just now, thank you Zhenguo Gong for mentioning it. ”

The second is still adding oil and vinegar to the side, it has been three days since the beginning of the month, and our monthly silver has not yet been sent. Before, the sister-in-law was busy with the return of the prince and the township, but now that the prince and the township are together, is the sister-in-law giving us a quasi-letter, and talking about the time of the month before it can be sent? ”

Mrs. Ning Yuan pretended not to hear it just now, but now that she heard Eryue say it, it became more and more outrageous, so she turned around and said that there are guests here, if you don't want to accompany the guests, just wait for dinner. "It's very faceless.

The second could no longer sit down, so he had to get up curtly, salute the people in the house, and take the maid back to the courtyard of the second room.

Pei Shufen smiled and thanked Mrs. Tai, who knew that Mrs. said that you should go down too. Go to the kitchen to see how the dishes are prepared today, whether you have prepared those dishes that Yi'er and Qianqian love to eat, and the accounts in this house, it is time to count them. ”

When Pei Shufen heard that he was going to count the accounts, he became a little anxious, and glanced at Chu Huajin a few times, but the other party was indifferent, looking at his child and smiling very happily.

"Not yet? What does the pestle do here? He scolded again.

Pei Shufen had no choice but to blush, bow and retreat, and hurriedly went back to Zhonglan Courtyard.

Seeing that Pei Shufen was gone, she apologized to Xia Dao that I didn't mean to give her face, but she didn't make people worry, and she couldn't even catch up with her sister Shu Fan's zero. ”

Xia smiled and said We have it too. When she was in her parents' house, she was the youngest, so she couldn't help but be biased. Later, she married early, and it was too late to teach her the skills of these housekeepers, so she had to suffer a little from her own family, so she taught her well. ”

Holding Pei Shufan too much and stepping on Pei Shufen, Xia, as a mother-in-law, would definitely not have an opinion, so she let go and said some housework and love words at length.

Shen tilted his head and whispered a few jokes in He Ningxin's ear, but He Ningxin was a little absent-minded, just smiled, just thinking about Pei Shufen's face just now.

Pei Shufen returned to Zhonglan Courtyard, asked Tongyue to go to the big kitchen to see the dishes of today's banquet, called Tongyun alone, and quietly told her to go to the outer courtyard, and find Qin Lisheng, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, to come in and reply.

Tongyun went for a while, and said, Grand Steward Qin said that there was a lot of work in the outer courtyard, and he couldn't get out. He also said that the inner courtyard was full of female guests today, and it was inconvenient for him to come in. If you have something to ask, just let the slave and maid pass the message. ”

Pei Shufen hesitated for a long time, and said, "Let's go to the outer courtyard and go to the outer courtyard in person." As he spoke, he ordered Tongyun to take a bluegrass-colored crepe shawl and hang it on his arms, took the maid and the maid, and went to the outer courtyard.

In the conference hall of the outer courtyard, Qin Lisheng and Qin Chief Steward were taking stock of the accounts of each shop last month with the major shopkeepers, and it was the time when he was very busy. Hearing the report of the little guy outside, he said that he wanted to ask the chief steward of Qin in person. Qin Lisheng grabbed the square scarf on his head with a little headache, and said to the big shopkeepers in the hall, you continue, I will come when I go. ”

Qin Lisheng frowned and walked out of the conference hall and came to the side hall where Pei Shufen was waiting.

In the hall, there is a half-person-high rosewood screen, on which is embroidered a picture of a night banquet made by a famous artist, with a dim background, faintly revealing the figure sitting opposite.

Pei Shufen sat behind the screen, and several maids stood beside her.

Seeing Qin Lisheng bowing in and bowing to Pei Shufen, Pei Shufen raised his hand and said that Chief Steward Qin was exempt. ”

Qin Lisheng raised his head, and asked with a smile There are distinguished guests in the inner courtyard today, but he left the distinguished guests and came to the outer courtyard, I don't know what is important? ”

Pei Shufen smiled slightly, and said that there was indeed something important. As he spoke, he glanced at the mother-in-law and maid beside him, and these people rushed out and went to guard the door, leaving Tongyun alone to serve by his side.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Pei Shufen thought about it and asked Chief Steward Qin, I want to ask, is there any silver left in the outer courtyard now, can you lend it to me for a turnover? ”

Qin Lisheng was stunned, and said busily, the expenses of the inner courtyard were allocated on the first day of junior high school, but he didn't get it? "I was indignant again, and said that these bold minions even dare to be greedy for the silver of our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and they are really impatient to live - rest assured, the villain will go to help inquire and chase the silver"

In the Hou Mansion of Ningyuan, the outer courtyard is in charge of all the income in the Hou Mansion, and at the beginning of each month, the silver is allocated to the inner courtyard according to the amount for the monthly expenses and daily expenses of everyone in the inner court.

Qin Lisheng is the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and all the money is taken from him, and then the master in the account room below registers and makes a book. And the money is put into the treasury, and another chief steward is in charge. The bookkeeper and the keeper of the treasury money are separated, and they are replaced from time to time, and the accounts are reconciled once a month, so to fill the pockets, it is necessary for the people of both sides to cooperate. And the personnel of the two sides are changed from time to time, which makes it even more difficult to fill the pockets.

Of course, Qin Lisheng is very familiar with this set, and it is impossible for those account masters and those who are in charge of the silver treasury to deduct the silver in the inner courtyard, he just said it in passing, and gave him a step down.

Pei Shufen's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before he said a little embarrassedly: "...... It's none of their business, but the money is appropriated on time. ”

Qin Lisheng settled down, changed his face with a smile on his face, and said really? The villain is relieved. If all the money in the inner court has been allocated, why do you need to turn over the money? - But what's inconvenient? ”

Pei Shufen was a little anxious.

The silver taels allocated from the outer courtyard were originally enough for the Hou Mansion to live a luxurious life. However, Pei Shufen saw that there was still some surplus every month, so he persuaded Chu Huajin to save the surplus. At a certain time, when they have a sum of money in hand, they will take it out to lend money, and only take two cents of interest, which is lower than that of ordinary money banks, and they have the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion as a signboard, and they are not afraid that the borrower will not repay the debt.

I did it for a while, and I did earn a lot of money. Pei Shufen was anxious for a while, and embezzled the money in the inner courtyard at the beginning of each month to lend money, and only waited for two or three days for the money and silver outside to be collected, and then distributed to each room.

This is the only item, not counting the money earned for the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, she can still keep a part of the money and silver every month for private housing, and now she has saved almost 10,000 taels. Just wait for the savings to be complete, and then find a big merchant to release it. ——This kind of money lending method, Pei Shufen has heard the nobles here say that it is available in every government. Otherwise, this big family, just pointing to those land and the fields, will have to drink the northwest wind.

In the past, the money and silver everywhere were collected in a timely manner, but this year, I don't know what is going on, and I have not been able to collect it. Seeing that it is the fifth day of the first lunar month, the case silver in the inner courtyard has not yet been issued, and the second day is to find out this matter in front of the guests, and it is also impatient to wait.

The second more is delivered. Thank you all for your pink tickets and tips. "April Pink Acknowledgment III" comes out in the evening.
