Qin Mingyue thought about it while changing her clothes, bathing, and drinking tea under the service of the maid and grandmother.

After such a set, the fatigue of the whole body is gone. Qin Mingyue spread her hair and drank tea leisurely, facing the night like water.

However, as soon as the tea was consumed, Qin Mingyue's brows furrowed. The tea is also a bit too coarse. Qin Mingyue had just been reborn, and she was not used to such an embarrassing life.

In her previous life, although she was plotted by Yin Dyed Autumn, but, in all fairness, Yin Dyed Autumn managed the Jinyang Hou Mansion well, making Qin Mingyue live a life of fine clothes and jade food in the Jinyang Hou Mansion. I've been extravagant for more than ten years, and now I can't drink such rough tea again.

There was no way, Qin Mingyue could only put down the tea bowl. It seems that it is urgent to change the life of the family.

Qin Mingyue asked Dongqu: "You go to my grandmother's yard to inquire, after such a long time, has my father made sense to my grandmother?" ”

Dongqu should come down and go out in a hurry.

After a while, Dongqu came back: "Miss, the eldest girl Cuihuan next to the old lady is my aunt's cousin, she told me that when Grandpa Guo went to the old lady, he asked the old lady to hand over all the housekeeping powers. The old lady naturally refused, and Grandpa Guo quarreled with the old lady. It's very ugly. The old lady was sick with anger. However, Grandpa Guo did not let go, and forcibly moved the cards, account books and other things. When I passed by just now, I faintly heard the old lady crying. ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but be dumbfounded, her father was really powerful. If you are sure, it will be difficult for you to ask for the right to be a housekeeper from the old lady.

Speaking of which, this old lady An is also a lover of the right of the stack. Other people's families and the old ladies of her generation have long delegated the power of housekeeping to their daughters-in-law, and she is the only one who holds on to it. If the management is good, it is okay to hold on to it. This Guogong Mansion is dilapidated to this point, in addition to Mingyue's grandfather and father, who are not good at managing money, and the An family, who is not good at managing money, is also to blame.

Qin Mingyue said to the people around her: "I have already asked for the power of steward from my father. In a while, I will look at the accounts, and after that, I will sort out the clues, and I will also assign you tasks, and you will help me to manage this family. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone responded in unison.

Mama Liao was a little worried: "Miss, there are many things in this mansion that are difficult to return, can you manage it well?" If you don't manage it well, you still have to complain, what do you want? ”

Mama Ma agreed: "Miss, tell me that many things in this mansion are indeed not like words, where is there still the weather of the Guogong Mansion, it is necessary to manage it well." ”

Qin Mingyue nodded.

As he was talking, there was already a lot of excitement in front of the door. Qin Mingyue asked Dongqu to pull her hair casually, and went to the door to greet Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, who came over with a large team of people carrying the account book.

Qin Ping saw that his daughter seemed to have just bathed, so he asked the mother-in-law to put down the account book, and gave two clips, one with the key and the pair of cards, and the other with a thick pile of deed of sale.

Qin Ping said: "Daughter, I brought you everything you wanted." You have a good idea to manage our house. It's getting late, so rest and see tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Qin Ping couldn't wait to leave. Finally pushed out these annoying things, Qin Ping felt very relaxed, and he was going to celebrate with his gentle aunt.

Qin Mingyue sent her father away respectfully, and asked someone to take the account book back, lit the candle, and looked at it carefully.

Speaking of which, because the Liguo Mansion has long been far away from the center of power, there are not many things to usher in, and because they have been living by selling things all these years, there is only an account, basically no income, and this account book is much less than that of ordinary families.

Qin Mingyue had the ability to watch and fold in her previous life, and she saw things very quickly, so it only took an hour to figure everything out.

After reading it, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but sigh, the Liguo Mansion was really in decline.

Now not to mention maintaining the dignity of the national government, even maintaining survival is a problem. There are only two incomes in the entire Guogong Mansion, one is the income from the sacrificial fields, the other is the Guogong and the wife of the Guogong, and there is also the Yulu of the prince of the country. In a year's calculation, the total income is only 3,000 taels of silver, but the various expenses of the entire government are about 5,000 taels of silver every year.

Besides, it has long been a routine for Fuliyin to eat grain, where can he expect that little income. However, the only thing worth being happy about is that from the next month, Qin Mingyue, as an official of the Star Picking Tower, also has a fortune, although it is not much, it is only one hundred taels of silver per month, which can be regarded as a good income.

But these are really a drop in the bucket compared to the huge debts.

Qin Mingyue took out a stack of papers from a folder. These are contracts. To be precise, they are all contracts for various properties mortgaged by the Liguo Mansion over the years. In fact, there are far more than these, many of them are directly sold, so there is no contract left at all. Qin Mingyue had some of these things in his hands that could not be sold directly, but could only be pawned. These alone are worth about fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Looking at this huge hole, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but sigh again. In her previous life, she really didn't worry about the silver, but in this life, she had to prepare the silver by herself, and she didn't know if she could succeed.

Qin Mingyue remembered that she had lived a luxurious life in her previous life, which was provided to her by the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion. However, after she married into the Marquis of Jinyang, although she lived a good life, her life was not happy. First of all, Hua Yixuan is completely different from what she imagined.

The two of them were newly married, and there was a discord, Hua Yixuan is handsome and unparalleled in the world, but he also has all the vices of a gentleman. loves beautiful women, has many concubines, and is still nostalgic for flowers outside, and even plays a good man.

These are all things that Qin Mingyue didn't find out before, and only discovered in the first month of marriage. These, Qin Mingyue directly knocked them down. Qin Mingyue and Hua Yixuan had a quarrel, and even threatened with death, but basically there was no effect.

Every time, Hua Yixuan was a little soft, and Qin Mingyue's mother's family came to Jinyang Hou's Mansion to ask for money. This made Qin Mingyue have no prestige at all in the Jinyang Hou Mansion. Naturally, it can't manage Huayixuan.

In the end, the sad Qin Mingyue could only give up managing Hua Yixuan and began to concentrate on government affairs, whatever Hua Yixuan wanted. The relationship between the two has also dropped to a freezing point.

Qin Mingyue really shuddered when she thought of the lonely and lonely ten years in her previous life.

She secretly made up her mind that in this life, even if it is hard, even if she has to spend more energy to make money, she must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and she must govern the Liguo Mansion well. You have to have money in your own hands.
