Chapter 82: Pack Up
When Xu's mother came to find Jin Chao, Jin Chao was assisted by Tong's mother to clean up the land and property deeds in his mother's dowry.
She is not married, and it is naturally not her turn to take care of these, but Gu Dezhao will not object to her daughter doing anything now, and Song Miaohua is even more trapped in Linyanxie and can't take care of anything. Jin Chao naturally took over his mother's dowry.
In her previous life, her mother's dowry was taken care of by Aunt Song, and within a few years, she ate all the oil and water into her pocket.
Jin Chao looked at the things sent by Tong's mother and felt a little headache. Mother's things will also be distributed to herself and Jinrong in the future. When she got married, the Ji family gave a lot of dowries, and her grandmother often subsidized her over the years, and her mother's private house was quite generous.
There are more than a dozen granges everywhere, in addition to a street in Baodi, a few rice shops and silk shops in Sanhe, as well as garment shops, spice shops, restaurants and tea houses in Daxing and Wanping, and several houses. In addition to these, there is also a paper mill and two wineries......
With these things alone, the annual income is tens of thousands of taels of silver! In addition to being more generous, my mother can't see that she has so much dowry at other times! And it is estimated that my mother also takes care of it casually on weekdays, and the income of the shop has not changed for many years.
Jin Chao took a stack of deed of sale documents from the people under the grange shop, and fell silent for a while.
She was really stupid, she actually handed over these things to Aunt Song for nothing! If my mother's dowry had been able to support herself at the beginning, she would not have been so depressed later, and she still needed help from others to live.
Jin Dynasty did not have enough experience in managing these things in her previous life, when she received her mother's dowry, she had already been gnawed by Aunt Song inside and out, and when she saw that Luo Yongxing was in charge of the silk shop, she let Luo Yongping be the big shopkeeper, which can be regarded as saving these shops.
It's just that he has a specialization in the art industry, Luo Yongping's management of the silk shop is good, and other things are not good.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about rice shops, when will old rice and new rice be put to make profits, how to price and purchase rice from Jiangxi, Huguang, and Zhejiang, and how to transport and store grain, you have to have an experienced shopkeeper to do it well.
Jin Chao sighed, she still had to take the time to go to Tongzhou and ask her grandmother about these things.
It was at this time that Xu's mother took a booklet and went into the West Room.
“…… You asked me to go through the contents of the lady's storehouse and sort out the booklet, and the slave and maid went to do it a few days ago, and brought it to you. ”
Jin Chao took the booklet handed by Xu's mother and opened it to read. There were a lot of things in her storehouse, not a lot of her mother's gold, silver, beads, hairpins, but more silk and porcelain, or famous paintings, and some rosewood or wenge furniture. It's all valuable stuff too......
In her previous life, she had never seen anything in her mother's storeroom. Jin Chao suddenly remembered!
At that time, Ji died, and she was busy crying sadly, and she didn't notice anything else. Who took the things from these storehouses? This adds up, and that's tens of thousands of taels of silver!
Jin Chao asked Xu's mother: "If I don't count these things, will my father come and collect them?" ”
Mother Xu shook her head and said, "The master never cares about Madame's things, I guess I will send a manager to come over and enter the warehouse in the front yard." When it's time for you to get married, it stands to reason that these are all your additions. ”
She married into the Chen family back then and carried a dowry of one hundred and twenty loads, including a dressing table, a thousand work beds, and a vermilion red cupboard, but there were absolutely no such things!
The manager of that matter is Aunt Song's person......
Mother Xu hesitated for a moment, and said to Jinchao: "Speaking of things...... The slave still has something to tell the eldest lady. ”
Jin Chao nodded and motioned for Mother Xu to continue.
Xu's mother said: "Mrs. Tai often sends someone to send things to the house, sometimes she will not enter Mrs.'s private warehouse, so she will directly receive them in the treasury of the department, and the slave and maid think that these things should also be put away, so she will go to the department to ask." But the steward Sun said that the things in the house had long been mixed with the things of his wife, and he couldn't tell which ones were which...... The slave maid said that it was better to take the booklet out, but Steward Sun said that the booklet could not be found......"
“…… But when the slave and maid were in the office for a long time, they clearly saw that the second lady went back and forth and took the medicinal materials sent by the Ji family and left, and Steward Sun's booklet was placed in the cabinet next to her, but she didn't want to pay attention to the slave and maid. The slave maid inquired later, and the medicinal materials were sent to Aunt Song, saying that Aunt Song was weak and needed to be replenished. ”
Jin Chao was a little angry when he heard this, and the booklet in his hand was closed.
It's only been a long time since my mother died, and these stewards dared not to take Mother Xu in their eyes, and Mother Xu went to count her mother's things under her banner, and they even dared to prevaricate her!
Mother's nourishing herbs, why did Gu Lan take them if he wanted to! Aunt Song caused her mother to die, and she still wants to use the things left by her mother, and she is not afraid of retribution for eating? Didn't this Sun steward think that Aunt Song still had a seed in her belly, so she didn't take them seriously!
But think about it, the family only knows that Aunt Song is pregnant, and the main feed is handed over to the eldest lady to do it on her behalf, who knows that Aunt Song has fallen out of favor. These former lackeys of hers are still bent on pleasing her!
Jin Chao smiled: "I want to go back and see how they prevaricate me." ”
A bunch of bullying minions, she has several accounts that she hasn't settled with them.
She asked Xu's mother: "Where did all the people in Aunt Song's yard go?" ”
Mother Xu replied: "It's all arranged by the slave maid, Qiaowei is assigned to Tongruolou to sprinkle and wash the pulp, Yuxiang is assigned to Aunt Luo's house to serve, and most of the other third-class girls and mothers-in-law go to the attendant office." ”
Jin Chao nodded and smiled: "You go and find Yuxiang, I have something to tell her." ”
The rhubarb in the mother's medicine is Luo Liujia's. But now that I think about it, if Luo Liu didn't have the consent of the superiors, would he be so bold? Steward Sun is Aunt Song's person, did he also give Aunt Song the things in his mother's treasury in his previous life?
If she doesn't punish this Sun steward, how can she let the people in this mansion obey her in the future! Always set an example.
Mother Xu promised to go and went to Aunt Luo's Jing'an House to find Yuxiang to come over.
Yuxiang was wearing a third-class girl's green cloth jacket, a plain white thread skirt, her face was very haggard, and she was only decorated with a simple wooden flute on her head.
Yuxiang knelt down and saluted the copy, and Jin Chao looked at her for a long time before asking, "Yuxiang, what do you think of Jing'anju?" ”
Yuxiang bit her lip, and her eyes turned red.
How can she please Jing'an Ju! It was all Mother Xu who deliberately arranged her to live in Jing'an! There is an Aunt Luo who wants to please Gu Jinchao, two girls who are loyal to Gu Jinchao, and the mother-in-law of the stable who has received the favor of the Jin Dynasty!
These people all know the grievances between Aunt Song and Gu Jinchao, and they know that she is one of Aunt Song's henchmen, how can they be good to her!
On the first day of her stay in Jing'an, she was arranged to sleep in the smallest and dampest lower room, and all her jewelry was taken away by the mother-in-law of the two stables, saying that it was her filial piety. The yard is clearly cleaned by the mother-in-law of the stable, but all of them are pushed to her to do, if she doesn't do a good job, Aunt Luo's side will reprimand her for the sunny clothes and okra, saying that it is her fault.
This kind of bullying is enough, Aunt Luo said that she wanted to drink oat milk porridge, so she bought oats and asked her to peel out all the oats one by one! Only when both hands were peeled off that the blood was visible, she peeled off a small half bag, boiled porridge and brought it to her aunt, she suddenly didn't want to eat it, so she handed it to the mother-in-law who was waiting next to her to drink. She watched her mother-in-law drink oatmeal porridge, and she was busy all day, but she didn't even drink a sip of water.
After tossing like this, she couldn't consume it in a few days.
Yuxiang didn't speak, Gu Jinchao naturally understood everything, it would be strange if she could stay comfortably in Jing'anju!
Jin Chao said to her: "You were a second-class girl who served Aunt Song, and you shouldn't have done the work of a third-class girl. At this point, you should know in your heart that this is just a matter of following the wrong master. It's too late to change now...... I will let you do one thing, and if you are willing, I will reassign you to the attendant's office, and give you fifty taels of silver for the errand of the second-class girl, will you do it? ”
Yuxiang was tired and dazed, she was Aunt Song's henchman, who would dare to bully her? Now the seven or eight-year-old girls in Aunt Luo's yard dare to call her at will, they know that no one will speak for her. She was also a faithful protector...... It's just that now Aunt Song can't protect her, she always has to live.
People will always change, she wants to live a better life by herself, and she wants to leave that ghost place to live in peace!
I'm just sorry Aunt Song...... She felt a little guilty in her heart, but it was gone in an instant.
It's nothing, Aunt Song treats Qiaowei much better than her. Aunt Song has any dangerous things, but she is all left to herself, and she will never ask Qiaowei to go.
Yuxiang asked in a low voice: "As long as the eldest lady can let the slave maid leave the quiet and peaceful residence, the slave and maid will obey the eldest lady!" I don't know what the eldest lady wants me to do......"
Jin Chao smiled: "Mother Xu, I'll go back to the place first, you go to Xue Sixteen, and let him take the nursing home and go over immediately." ”
Mother Xu glanced at Yuxiang, understood what the eldest lady wanted to do, and smiled and promised.
Jin Chao asked her lightly: "When Madame was not dead, you met Luo Liuxiang in the Strange Willow Forest, did you plan to do something in Madame's medicine?" Add rhubarb in the medicine, how did this rhubarb come about, was it given by Aunt Song, or did Luo Liu get it. Or is there someone helping Aunt Luo...... You have to make it clear. ”
Yuxiang was a little shocked, the eldest lady actually knew about rhubarb! But now that she has planned to help the eldest lady, she naturally won't hide it anymore.
Jin Chao's heart moved, and sure enough! The matter of rhubarb is not just as simple as Aunt Song and Luo Liu's collusion.
Steward Sun in that case should be the one who really colluded with Aunt Song. In their previous lives, the two not only conspired to kill their mother, but also after their mother's death, they embezzled all the things in their mother's private treasury and left nothing behind. The same is true in this life, not only harming my mother, but also wanting to swallow what my mother left in the outer courtyard!
When Jin Chao thought of this, she felt unusually angry in her heart, but her face was very calm, and she said lightly to Yuxiang: "In that case, you can go to the place with me...... You have to find someone to settle accounts. ”RS
