Chapter 65: A Closer Look at the Causes
Although Shen Zheng knew that it was impossible to reconcile the accounts today, but when Shen Fu said this, he still wanted to swallow Shen Fusheng!
"Little Hou Ye, the little one will give Xiao Hou Ye a pair of accounts; It's just that because the little one doesn't know these accounts very well, it may be slower to get right, and please don't blame the little marquis. Shen Zheng had to come down. What he said was also to leave a way back for himself: he wanted to think of deceiving the little marquis when he was reconciling the accounts.
Shen Miaoge saw that Shen Zheng didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, but just nodded his head lightly and didn't reprimand him.
Shen Zheng didn't know how wrong he was until he reconciled the accounts! He didn't expect that the little marquis would know so much: at the beginning, he wanted to deceive the little marquis two or three times, but he was all recognized by the little marquis; Later, he found a good opportunity to take the opportunity to combine the two things together, and said that the little marquis was confused, and he could gently reveal the accounts this time, but he was destroyed by the sleeve girl on the side with a word.
Without waiting for the account to be reconciled to the end, Shen Zheng threw himself on his knees at once.
Shen Miaoge sat on the chair, looked at Shen Zheng and smiled: "What is Chief Steward Shen doing?" "If you don't fight the water dog, how can you be worthy of the difficulties that this Diao slave has made for him these days!
Shen Zheng just kowtowed, and couldn't say a word; He didn't know what to say, and at the same time he was waiting for his father to save him; Their family is an old man in the Shen Mansion, and as long as his father comes, he will at most lose his account and be in charge.
"You Diao slave, at this time, you haven't really admitted your mistakes and repented, and you still think that you can escape punishment!" The voice of the old ancestor came in, and it was in the inner room of the study: "Are you waiting for your father to come and save you?" Shall I send someone to invite him? ”
Shen Zheng raised his head in surprise, and his mouth opened wide in disbelief: Shen Lao Zu actually walked out of the inner room! Immediately his face was like the color of earth, and he fell to the ground; He knew that his punishment this time would not be less than half a point, but would be doubled.
Shen Lao Zu was angry that Shen Zheng had lost his dignity, and ordered someone to drag him down and beat him heavily; also asked people to call Shen Zheng's father over, because Shen Laozu knew that with Shen Zhengzhi's ability, he couldn't make fake accounts alone.
Then, she instructed people to take a good inventory of the accounts of the account in recent years: the lack of silver is a trivial matter, and if the lowly people think that the master is easy to deceive, this Shen Mansion will not be far from falling.
When Shen Zheng dragged back after fighting, Shen's father was also brought up, and Shen Laozu asked lightly: "Do you father and son know that you are wrong?" Do you know what went wrong? ”
Shen Zheng's father, Shrewd I, was confused at this time because he didn't quite understand what happened, and argued a few words for Shen Zheng and himself, which made Shen Laozu angry; It turned out that Shen Laozu asked this with the intention of leaving their father and son: their father and son have not contributed to the Shen Mansion over the years.
"Drag him down for me and beat him hard, and then call someone to come and send the whole family out for me!" Shen Laozu pointed to Shen Zheng's father one day and drank a sentence.
Shen Zheng's father knew at this time that he had said the wrong thing, and it was too late to beg for mercy.
Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves just stood aside and didn't say another word; It wasn't until Shen Lao Zu finished dealing with Shen Zheng's affairs that they stepped forward to help Shen Lao Zu, and gently comforted Shen Lao Zu.
Shen Laozu is not really angry: Zuo is just a minion, at most she is an unknown person and an improper employer; She is very clear about this kind of matter, so she does not favor Shen Zheng's family, lest there be any descendants who have the same mind and make the same mistakes in the future.
Shen Fu has been watching from the sidelines, and his face has turned pale: the family has been sold!
Shen Laozu glanced at Shen Fu, and then asked Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves with his eyes, knowing that they did mean this, and he did not object, and nodded: "Qi'er, you have done a good job." She patted Shen Miaoge's hand lightly, and then walked away with Yanqin's shoulder.
Although Shen Laozu didn't say it explicitly, her meaning had already indicated that she would hand over the tent to Shen Miaoge: her grandson was very pleased that she was so capable, even if Shen Zheng's matter made her a little disgraced, she didn't care too much because of Shen Miaoge's ability.
Sending Shen Lao Zu back to the study, Shen Miaoge looked at Shen Fu quietly for a long time before saying, "Have you seen it clearly?" ”
Shen Fu bowed and said, "The little ones can see clearly." He understood what Shen Miaoge was asking.
"Written it all down?"
"The little ones are remembered in their hearts and taken as warnings, and they will never dare to forget."
"Good." Shen Miaoge retracted her gaze: "You are here to be the manager of the account, is it feasible?" ”
Shen Fu thought about it and bent down deeply: "The little one must do his best to do his job well." "If he can shirk it, he really doesn't want to do this big thing; It's just a big mistake to be a slave and not share the worries and relieve the work of the master - what's the use of raising you?!
"Well, the matter of the tent will bother you later." Shen Miaoge said plainly, and didn't say a single extra word.
The red face sang from the red sleeves: "Shen Fu, is it?" In the future, the little marquis will rely on you a lot, and if you look at the little marquis in everything, the little marquis will not treat you lightly. She smiled when she said this: "The rules in the house can't be broken, but as I said, the little marquis will not treat you lightly - in the future, your monthly allowance will be received by us every month." ”
They were still young, so they had to have two people to stand up, one with a white face and the other with a red face: it was much better than a combination of grace and power—the kindness of children made these old servants and women susceptible to contempt or greed.
Shen Fu hurriedly saluted and excused himself, and the red sleeves chuckled: "The rich steward is in charge of the silver money in the account for a day or two, and the silver money is naturally seen a lot, don't you look down on the two taels of silver that the little marquis gave you?" ”
Shen Fu was startled when he heard this, he didn't dare to shirk it anymore, and hurriedly saluted and thanked Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves, and said that he would definitely do things well, and he would never dare to do anything greedy for ink Sorry for the kindness of the little marquis and the girl with sleeves.
Shen Miaoge didn't say anything more, just nodded and sent him back to work.
Shen Fu didn't let out a long breath until he walked out of the second door, and when he went back to the tent room, he gave those tent gentlemen a good reminder, so that they could all cheer up and do things; And said in a stern tone: If there are people who want to do something crooked, it's better to pack up and leave by yourself now - otherwise don't blame him for not being emotional.
The matter of the tent soon spread in the house, and the people in the kitchen were suspicious: but it was a true thing that the tent changed the manager, so they all worked with the spirit of twelve, and they didn't want to be found by the two little masters and lose their dignity for several lifetimes.
Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves didn't do anything to the kitchen, and in the next few days, they didn't go to Mrs. Shen or Mrs. Shen to serve the soup, but went to talk and laugh with Shen Laozu: In addition, they studied and practiced martial arts.
The people in the kitchen slowly relaxed: they thought that the two little masters might be happy with the things in the kitchen—they hadn't been less filial to the good dishes lately; Or maybe the two little masters don't care about the kitchen at all, or don't understand the kitchen: there are some things that can't be learned in books.
In short, the kitchen will not suffer like the ledger.
Now, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen's illnesses have improved a lot, and Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves have free time; And the people who served them also had time to catch their breath.
On this day, after eating at noon, Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge both felt very tired, and went back to their rooms to take a nap; And Zhao, Yunxiang and Dianjiao gossiped together, and did some work by the way.
At first, they were just chatting, and after a while, Yingshu inadvertently mentioned the county lord of Pingnan, she was very displeased with this county lord, and immediately said what she had never understood in her heart: "Why should the noble lady in the palace speak for the Pingnan royal family?" Aren't you afraid that our ancestors, Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. will enter the palace to say something to the queen or the queen mother? ”
"Say what? People just ask us to take care of other people's nieces, and we really have relatives in the Pingnan Palace, so it's hard to shirk it. Dianjiao shook her head lightly: "Besides, what did our house really say to the queen and the queen mother, and we really made an enmity with that nobleman; And it also seems that our house is a little family. ”
Yingshu was still unconvinced, and several girls argued, each with different opinions.
"You're not right." Shen Miaoge walked out of the house with his coat on: "Pingnan Palace, just by the word 'Pingnan', you can know that Pingnan Palace's Mansion has made great contributions to the imperial court. ”
Zhao hurriedly led everyone to serve Shen Miaoge to get dressed, and asked for guilt that he had quarreled with him.
"I didn't make any noise, I woke up on my own." Shen Miaoge glanced at the red sleeves: "You girls haven't woken up yet?" It seems that she is really tired, let her sleep more. ”
He sat down when he had nothing to do, sent away the little girls, and left only a few henchmen and gossip: In fact, his words were mainly for a few people in the Zhao family.
The word Pingnan is because the first king of Pingnan, that is, the great-grandfather of the lord of Pingnan, was rewarded by the imperial court: many years ago, the barbarians in the south led troops to capture more than a dozen cities in the south, and the court almost lost less than half of the country, but there were no available generals in the court; And at that time, the old king of Pingnan stepped forward to lead the troops to the battle, and the barbarians recovered the lost territory without bearing the great defeat, and also attacked the hinterland of the barbarians, and took many things from their lair back.
"There are many titles of the prince, but the title of 'Pingnan' is not something that any prince can get, and it is necessary to have military merits and great military merits." Shen Miaoge sighed softly when she said this.
Therefore, the imperial court was jealous of the prestige of the old King Pingnan in the army and accepted the military power in his hands, and in the future, he also raised the King of Pingnan as a noble prince; As a result, later, no one in the Pingnan Royal Mansion had made achievements to the imperial court, so it gradually lost its position and could not get the attention of the emperor.
However, many people still remember the original war; After the prince of Pingnan drove the crane, because he had no children and nephews, the court gave the word Pingnan to his daughter, which can be regarded as hereditary; Moreover, Princess Pingnan and Lord Pingnan are now orphans and widows, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor naturally have more "pity", and will naturally try to meet Princess Pingnan's requests.
"Heavenly family doesn't want to lose face?" Ying Shu was unconvinced: "Their palace is a ......" She didn't say it, and everyone understood what it meant.
"The emperor is biased towards the Pingnan Palace? Then in the future, our girl ......" Zhao was also a little anxious. Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station: for easy reading next time!
