Chapter 392: The Pit
Chapter 392: The Pit
On February 20, the weather was fine, with occasional thin clouds floating in the air, the sky was blue and white, and it made people feel refreshed to look at.
"Shuiqingyuan" is a little less lively today than usual.
Qinghe married Sun Dawei on this day, and most of the maids in the yard went to eat wine to send Qinghe a ride, and only flowers, Mo Lan, Qiaoxi, and red dates were left in the yard to accompany Ye Yunshui.
There was a pocket lying in the shaker, Shu Hui was on the bed, and Ye Yunshui sat on the clinical couch to see the maids busy.
Hua'er's arm was still on the board, but she insisted on lying on the bed, so she simply got up and watched the little maid do things, and taught the green garden and the red date wisp account book.
Qiaoxi re-copied the contents of the booklet handed by Zhu Ji and handed it to Ye Yunshui, "Princess, you have taken a look." ”
Ye Yunshui took it over and looked at it carefully, the person in charge of the previous repair had been in this position for seven years, and he was promoted by Concubine Wang, and as soon as Concubine Feng took over, he took the wrong place and sent him out of the house, but now he can't find a shadow.
Most of the records in this booklet are the accounts of the renovation and purchase of the stall in the outer courtyard when the princess was there...... Among them, a few large sums of silver were paid to Fuyao Commercial Bank, but they only made some iron stoves for the palace, which was obviously a big mistake...... But what did Concubine Feng want to do with this account book? Do you want to catch the handle of the king's side concubine?
Ye Yunshui couldn't figure it out for a while, closed the booklet and let Hua'er put it away, turned his head and asked Xiang Qiaoxi, "Zhu Ji has negotiated with Fuyao Commercial Bank?" ”
Qiaoxi nodded, "After talking, Fuyao Commercial Bank agreed." ”
"Didn't complain?" Ye Yunshui asked.
"I haven't heard of it, Zhu Ji said that he agreed very happily." Qiaoxi looked suspicious, "Why don't you go and inquire again?" ”
Ye Yunshui shook his head, "No, go back and wait for Sun Da to finish the marriage, and ask him to come over for questioning." ”
Qiao Xi responded, and heard a noisy sound in the courtyard, Ye Yunshui looked up, and the red dates had already lifted the curtain and went out to check, "The princess, it is Mama Wei who is in charge of the repair of the inner courtyard." ”
Ye Yunshui nodded, and the red dates asked the little maid to lead Mama Wei in, Mama Wei looked at the red dates with a smile, and saluted Ye Yunshui, "The old slave has asked for peace to the princess." ”
"What are you looking for me?" Ye Yunshui waved his hand, the little maid moved a small pestle for Mama Wei, Mama Wei sat down with a smile, and replied to Ye Yunshui with a smile:
"The lake in the big garden was dredged in spring, and a few days ago I invited someone to work, but two dredging workers fell into the river, one rescued, and the other drowned, it was the first half of the month, but who knew that yesterday the dead man's family came to the door to ask for compensation, and the old slave and the princess asked for ......instructions."
Someone died half a month ago, and now it's coming to make trouble?
Ye Yunshui glanced at Mama Wei critically, "How much silver does the deceased's family want?" ”
"Twenty taels." Mama Wei hurriedly replied.
"Who did you give this dredging job to?" Ye Yunshui held the tea bowl and rubbed his fingers against the celadon carving.
Mama Wei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's Qingfeng Commercial Bank." ”
"Who introduced the dredging workers?" Ye Yunshui looked at Mama Wei expressionlessly, but Mama Wei couldn't figure out Ye Yunshui's temperament, so she had to reply after consideration: "It was introduced by Qingfeng Commercial Bank." ”
Ye Yunshui looked at Mama Wei's face flashing, and asked again, "Why did the dredging worker fall into the lake?" ”
"It is because I want to clear the lake in advance, March 3 is the birthday of the third lady, and I want to set up a table in the garden to invite the ladies of several houses to play and enjoy the lake scenery, which is more than five taels of silver for the dredging workers, so that they can drive out the construction period in advance, who knows that the dredging workers did not stop at night, and the black light fell blindly, and the people who saved them could not be seen, and when they delayed the rescue, they lost their lives." Mama Wei sighed with emotion, "The firm has made up for the dredging workers again, and it can be regarded as the completion of this work, but who knows that the dead man's family will come to make trouble again......"
"Since he overturned the boat with a black light, how could he rely on our house? And it is the dredging worker signed by Qingfeng Commercial Bank, and it is reasonable to find a commercial bank to compensate, and we can't find it. Ye Yunshui seemed to ask casually, but Mama Wei didn't expect Ye Yunshui to ask questions one after another, and after a long time, she showed a little weakness.
"Xu knows that the threshold of the palace is big, and he can't say if he wants the lion to open his mouth, if the princess doesn't allow it, the old slave will go and beat them." Mama Wei got up as she spoke.
Ye Yunshui didn't let her go down like this, "This money can't be given like this, otherwise wouldn't there be no charter for doing things?" In the future, anyone who makes a mistake in doing things will come to bite the palace, and we will become meat buns, but it seems to be unkind if we don't give half a cent......"
Mama Wei said yes again and again, but her expression was in a trance.
"Where are the families of the dead?" Ye Yunshui suddenly asked like this, but Mama Wei was stunned, "They were originally sitting and crying at the door with people, but the old slave asked them to call them back, and they called them again when there was news." ”
"Then Ming'er will bring someone to me." Ye Yunshui took the tea as he spoke, but Mama Wei was stunned in place and didn't know what to think, Ye Yunshui said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Mama Wei didn't know why Ye Yunshui suddenly wanted to see this dead person, and she was a little panicked in her heart, "...... are all people who can't see the stage, don't pollute the eyes of the princess. ”
Ye Yunshui glanced at her, Mama Wei hurriedly silenced, and Qiaoxi stepped forward and said, "...... Mama walks this way. ”
Even if Mama Wei was unwilling, she had to follow Qiaoxi.
Seeing people walking away, the red jujube glanced out of the courtyard with disdain, "This old woman is not a good person when she looks at it, and she must not have a good heart." ”
"It's fast enough," Ye Yunshui put down the teacup in his hand, "Twenty taels of silver is worth running to ask me, but this is a trick, making me uncomfortable whether to drill or not" It is said that the income and expenditure below one hundred taels of silver are all taken care of by the stewards, and there is no need to return it to Ye Yunshui.
And the person who died half a month ago has only come to the palace to bury the silver now, and the time is unreasonable.
If Ye Yunshui gave the silver so easily, she would definitely be caught for her shortcomings, saying that she didn't follow the rules, and gave the silver so casually, how to make rules for working in the palace in the future? If Ye Yunshui beats her without saying a word, someone must be saying that she is mean, and the princess of the prince's mansion refuses to even give twenty taels of silver for the funeral expenses, how can anyone feel at ease to do things for her in the future?
No matter what Ye Yunshui does, he can be found wrong
This idea may not be something that Ding can come up with, but Concubine Feng is still thinking about it now that she is sick and in bed?
Ye Yunshui picked up the teacup again, plucking a few leaves floating on it, but the flowers were the first to think clearly, "...... This Qingfeng firm may have nothing to do with Mama Wei. ”
"Not only does it have nothing to do with it, but Xu is still a difficult bone to gnaw." Ye Yunshui swept around the room, and finally set his eyes on the red dates, "I always said that you didn't have an errand to do, so I'll hand you an errand this time, and go and inquire about the details of this Mama Wei." ”
Red Jujube didn't expect Ye Yunshui to order her, so she replied on an errand: "Don't worry, the princess, the slave and maid will definitely not mess up for you."
Ye Yunshui smiled and nodded, and the red dates went out with the little maid.
The maids and mothers-in-law who sent off their relatives came back one after another, and there was a little more lively popularity in "Shuiqingyuan".
Mama Song went on behalf of Ye Yunshui, and when she returned to the courtyard, she replied to Ye Yunshui first, "...... The son of the Sun family was the first to marry, but it was prosperous, and he didn't lose Qinghe girl at all, he bought a small courtyard in Erjin, and a small house on the right was also bought by Sun Da, and the yard was opened, so that Qinghe's parents moved over, and a maid and a small servant were also dialed to wait. ”
