Chapter 040 Husband and Wife's Night Talk (2)

“…… Without the permission of the second young master, the concubine took back the dividends of the third quarter of the warehouse, and obtained a total of more than 13,260 taels of silver tickets."

Wang Qifang lowered her head and said in a whisper.

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderclap sounded overhead.

Zhao Tianqing's fist smashed on the kang, and the whole person stood up from the kang as if he had been stung by a scorpion, staring at the figure curled up on the ground with two eyes, "What? You, how dare you go to the warehouse to get the money without permission? Who told you to go, huh? Who allowed you to go? ”

The little new brother and the little pill on the kang were frightened by their father's sudden roar and cried.

Wang Qifang's hands were clenched tightly, and distress flashed in her eyes.

"Second young master, second young grandmother, what's going on?"

The two nurses who were waiting outside heard the child's cry and hurriedly ran in, but saw the second young master standing on the side of the kang with a blue face and scolding something, while the second young grandmother knelt aside in apology.

"What are you looking at, don't take the little master and the second miss out yet"

The cries one after another made Zhao Tianqing's mood more and more irritable. He glared at the two nurses cowering by the door, and shouted angrily.

Wang Qifang lowered her head, nodded slightly, and motioned to the nurse to do as the second young master ordered.

With the permission of the master, the nurses walked a few steps quickly to the edge of the kang, and laboriously picked up the struggling child, not daring to look at the face of the second young master, and hurriedly ran out again.

As the child's crying gradually drifted away, Zhao Tianqing's anger became bigger and bigger, and he hated iron and steel: "I thought that after this period of experience, you have really grown up and know how to manage your finances, and for the sake of Xiaoxin Ge'er, I handed over the business bank to you in advance and let you take charge of it on behalf of Xiaoxin Ge'er...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, why are you still so useless? Say, "What have you done with all this money?" Was it deceived by a black-hearted companion again, eh? ”

Like a trapped beast, Zhao Tianqing kept moving around the room, and when his eyes swept over the figure by the kang, he really couldn't lift it and kick out the stupid woman who had not done enough to do more than anything. In fact, his feet were really raised, but the last trace of reason left in his heart reminded him, and at the moment of flying out of the kick, he stopped his movements abruptly.

However, if he didn't let him vent, the anger in his heart couldn't come out, and with a "bang", Zhao Tianqing kicked a small pestle beside Wang Qifang to the door, kicked the hidden door open, and then put his foot down.

"Talk? Dumb? ”

Zhao Tianqing caught a glimpse of the door, and Mama Zhao was watching outside with a probe and brain, so she walked to the door with a gloomy face, shook the door hard, turned her head and continued to ask.

Wang Qifang still didn't speak, but got up and took out a stack of account books and a dozen white papers from the kang cabinet on the side, carefully placed them on the side of the kang, and then knelt back to the same place.

"What is this?"

Zhao Tianqing walked over in a few steps, and casually flipped through the account books and rolls of white paper: "Huh? Is this the book of the inner ledger? My wife has already handed over the house to you? Kindness? What is it? South Market Bill Transaction Stub? ”

The inner room was very quiet, except for Zhao Tianqing's self-talk, the only sound was the sound of "bang-la-la" turning pages.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Tianqing held an account book, leaned in front of Wang Qifang and trembled, "There is a problem with the account book?" If there is a problem, why do you sign for it? Kindness? What the hell is going on? Say"

"Back to the second young master, there is indeed no problem with the account book," Wang Qifang raised her head, her face was already covered with a little bit of crystal, and she said with a slight choked voice: "It's a pity that there is a huge Zhao family, and there are only less than one hundred taels of silver that can be used on the books, and the rest are all kinds of bills." ”

"What? No cash, only bills? ”

Zhao Tianqing is a successful businessman himself, and he has been dealing with the account office all year round, how can he not know the trickiness in it?

After listening to Wang Qifang's words, his tone gradually softened, and he slowly sat on the edge of the kang, grabbed the roll of white paper, kept flipping through it, and muttered in his mouth: "Sell one hundred and thirty cloth tickets of Zhao Ji Commercial Bank, with a face value of three thousand two hundred taels, and the actual price is seven hundred and ninety taels; sold 350 food stamps of Feng Ji Mixing, with a face value of 3,300 taels and a real price of 1,200 taels; Sell ......"

"W-What the hell is going on? Do you mean that the wife handed you a bad debt? ”

After reading the things in his hand, Zhao Tianqing already understood seventy or eighty percent in his heart.

“…… The concubine doesn't know," Wang Qifang shook her head, looking like she didn't dare to comment on the right or wrong of her wife, and lowered her head and said: "However, after the concubine took the account book, she counted the silver that could be used on the account, and only the cash silver was less than one hundred taels. But from the aunt's wife to the maid's mother-in-law, there has been no monthly payment for two or three months. In addition, the government did not pay for repairing the garden in June, and still owed 115 taels of silver to the craftsmen. Also, when my wife celebrated her birthday, the drama troupe she invited, the chef of Zuixian Building, and the pastry shop that made Shou Tao didn't pay any money......"

After calculating the accounts one by one, Wang Qifang's voice became more and more aggrieved.

"What about the silver? Could it be that the wife is still ambiguous? ”

Zhao Tianqing's anger had dissipated most of it, and he was a little helpless when he spoke.

"The concubine has just come back, and she doesn't know a lot of things," Wang Qifang was silent for a moment, and finally said hesitantly: "However, when my wife celebrated her birthday that day, I heard Mrs. Liu from Liu's Silver Building talk about what kind of money was printed, and what she said that the ticket price in Nanshi has fallen all the way recently, and it is a good time to buy."

The highest level of the complaint is estimated to be nothing more than this, Wang Qifang did not say anything on the surface, let alone half a gossip against her mother-in-law. But everything that should be said has been said again, so that people can know what the "truth" of the matter is as soon as they hear it.

"Put the money in the print?"

Zhao Tianqing's face that had just eased became gloomy again. Use the idle silver in the inner account room to put the money in the seal, which is often found in many mansions, and Zhao Tianqing also understands it. But using unequal fares to offset the account, this practice is a bit inferior - it is not used to pit Wang Qifang, but it is used to dig up the Zhao family's silver.

can pick up her identity, Mrs. Zhao is the head of the Zhao family, and she can't try her best to hollow out her own silver.

That is to teach Wang Qifang a lesson?

"My aunt and wife chase me for silver every day, and Zhao Er's housekeeper often 'reminds' me to settle the wages of other craftsmen, woo, second young master, where is there still silver in the inner account room? I had no choice, I had to take out some of the bills and sell them in Nanshi, but now it's not the New Year's Day, and the ticket prices in Nanshi are falling every day, and I can't sell the price on the tickets at all," Wang Qifang took out a handkerchief, covered her face and cried, "In the end, I really had no choice, so I took out my own ladder silver to offset the account, but the deficit was too big, and I couldn't settle the account after spending all the ladder, so I had to ......."

"Alas, I know, it's hard for you, get up"

Thinking of Wang Qifang's first housekeeper, he encountered this situation, and Zhao Tianqing felt a little unbearable. She sighed faintly and raised her hand to get her up.

"Second young master, the concubine knows that she is not as shrewd as Aunt Su, and she is not as capable as her wife, but I am really for the good of our family," Wang Qifang stood up from the donkey, leaned on Zhao Tianqing's side, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Second Young Master's mother-in-law, even if it is to put the money in the seal, it must be for the sake of you and the third young master." After all, the third young master is still young, and he is still studying abroad, and when he returns to the mansion one day, he will be married and married, and he will definitely spend a lot of money. ”

Kindness? Third Young Master?

Zhao Tianqing has always been thoughtful, he didn't react to his wife's words at first glance, and when he carefully read this sentence in his mind, he suddenly figured out what he was puzzled in his heart just now - yes, how could he forget the youngest son who was the most distressed by his wife.

Yes, yes, in this way, it is not difficult to understand why the wife would hide from the master and herself to put the money in the seal privately, it turns out that everything is for the sake of the third child

Wang Qifang peeked at Zhao Tianqing's face, and felt that the fire didn't seem to be enough, so she added another fire, "But the family needs to spend money everywhere, and the only silver that the concubine can use after thinking about it is the dividend of the warehouse." Although these warehouses are in the name of the Zhao family, they are all in our hands after all...... For the sake of the face of the wife and the Zhao family, it's nothing for us to lose some silver, it's better than letting the eldest young master see the joke."

"Eldest young master, what's the matter, is there still a share of the two of them in this matter?"

Zhao Tianqing didn't have a good impression of this eldest brother, when he was a child, the old lady favored Zhao Tianbai, and he didn't hurt him much, so he hated Zhao Tianbai a lot.

"It's nothing, but I heard that he inadvertently told his wife about the method of using bills to offset the account."

The more chaotic the Zhao family is, the safer it is for her and her children. To this end, Wang Qifang will spare no effort to amplify and re-amplify the contradictions between various masters.

"Hey, he's so kind?"

Zhao Tianqing suddenly felt that this matter was not simple, in the Zhao family, if it was not him Zhao Tianqing who hated Zhao Tianbai the most, but his mother Mrs. Zhao. Otherwise, her old man would not have been so indulgent and spoiled Zhao Tianbai after the old lady passed away, making the eldest son of the Zhao family a useless concubine.

Wait a minute...... No, can you think of a way to use bills to offset the account, is Zhao Tianbai really as incompetent as he sees on the surface?

Although there was no evidence, Zhao Tianqing still drew a huge question mark in his heart.

However, Zhao Tianqing didn't have to forget about business, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh when he thought of being taken by his brainless wife to fill the deficit.

But his wife kept saying that for the sake of his wife and the Zhao family, there was such a big hat smashed down, and he couldn't continue to scold her, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "That's it, let's help my wife make up for the deficit first." However, Qi Niang, I invited spinning workers from Qingzhou, but there are no three spindle spinning wheels, so I still need more help from you."

Why, do you want her to trade with a three-spindle spinning wheel?

No way

Wang Qifang secretly smiled coldly and politely refused: "This, the concubine can't agree."

P: Had a meeting for a day, the update was a bit late, sorry sorry
