Chapter 078: Messing Up Accounts
Xiao Qi simply turned two pages and found many problems. Many of them are irreconcilable, such as the purchase in the palace in the winter, and the reward given to the following years ago, all of which do not match the facts.
Xiao Qi roughly calculated, with only one account book, Hui Chang was greedy for a hundred taels of silver. According to this ratio, the silver flowing out of Hui Chang's hands is afraid that there are thousands of taels.
"Huichang, when he was in the Queen Mother's palace, was a little smart. She is a Qi person, and she came to Chu with the Queen Mother, which can be regarded as the Queen Mother's dowry. Unlike us, she has been by the Queen Mother's side since she was a child, so she is quite trusted. It's a pity that this person is not right, and he saw that the situation of the Queen Mother in Chudu was not good, so he found himself a big official in Kyoto City to marry. Later, she gave birth to a daughter. ”
Speaking of what happened back then, Chun Yumin was still a little indignant.
As a dowryman, it is natural to follow the master for a lifetime, and the master has not released anyone, so he generally cannot take the initiative to leave. But this Huichang has a lot of thoughts, and he doesn't care what loyalty is, he just wants to find a good future for himself, and he actually has a private relationship with the official and is pregnant.
"If the palace maid is pregnant, she is a shame on the master. At that time, the Queen Mother was deeply involved in the turmoil and was not loved by the saints, if such a fork happened again, it would be a sin that could never be turned over. Fortunately, the Beijing official really likes Huichang and is willing to marry Huichang, so at that time, the Queen Mother invited the will of Queen Chu and directly married Huichang. ”
"So, why did she go back to the palace later? ”、
If Hui Chang marries a Beijing official, she should be a wife, and she will not return to the palace to serve. But later, the Queen Mother and Xiao Yi came to Duanguo, and Huichang also followed.
Speaking of which, this is also a bitter past. Chun Yumin sighed and continued: "That Jingguan and Huichang have been in love for half a year, Huichang was pregnant at the time, but she learned the news that her husband, who was running an errand in Jiangnan, fell off the cliff. That person was originally a civilian official, he had no family background, his parents were dead, and he was the only one in the family. As soon as he went, the whole family was defeated. Huichang was pregnant at the time, and she was overly worried, which caused her daughter to have a deficiency in the fetus, and she was born frail and sickly. ”
Xiao Qi suddenly, it turned out that this was Huichang's weakness.
A sick daughter, a person who betrayed the infamy of the old master, and her family was in the middle of the road, she must have asked the queen mother to return to the palace for her daughter's treatment.
But when she returned to the Chu Palace, her status was not as good as before.
This is also the reason why she is greedy for money.
But there is something to hate in the wretched.
Huichang was greedy for money for her daughter, but in the end, she did not hesitate to sacrifice others for money.
Entering Fengtian Pavilion requires silver, and the guards insult the slaves, which she also acquiesces in, and it is indispensable to give some benefits. Huichang is in decline step by step, and it is greed that makes her more and more extreme.
Thinking about it, she helped Mei Ji so much, and she also thought that Mei Ji was from Hunan and would definitely attach herself to her unconditionally. And her daughter, with the cash cow of Mei Ji, will also be guaranteed.
Two greedy people, when they get together, become the best allies.
The appearance of Xiao Qi can be regarded as completely breaking this situation.
When Mei Ji first entered the palace, it was also a kind of luck to meet someone like Hui Chang who was so easy to talk to, and she should feel extremely lucky. But after a long time, Hui Chang's insatiable greed will make Mei Ji feel extremely bored. Mei Ji proposed to reduce the consumption, but Hui Chang still embezzled so much money on the basis of this proposal, which shows how tight Mei Ji's life should be.
How could Mei Ji like such a person.
Xiao Qi is Mei Ji's opportunity, so when Xiao Qi says that she intends to help Mei Ji, Mei Ji will be so tempted.
Xiao Qi guessed nine times out of ten, and thought that Hui Chang had turned his back on the Queen Mother just because of money and became Mei Ji's confidant. Unexpectedly, it turned out that from the beginning, Hui Chang was no longer the queen mother's person.
The Queen Mother sent her to Mei Ji's side, on the one hand, pretending to be a guard, and on the other hand, using Hui Chang's heart-to-heart to completely restrain Mei Ji.
It's just that Xiao Qi doesn't understand, since the Queen Mother doesn't trust Mei Ji, why did she send Chun Yumin here to the point where Fengtian Pavilion caused a lot of trouble?
You know, if Mei Ji is really a fine work of Xiang Kingdom, then giving her Huichang, wouldn't it give Mei Ji a lot of convenience?
As soon as this idea came to him, Chun Yumin continued: "I see that your injuries are much better, so let's stay and understand these accounts." It is best to take stock of the treasury tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, and when the time comes, the accounts of Fengtian Pavilion must be clearly understood. ”
Unlike Huichang, Chun Yumin is clear in his work, one is one, and he will never cheat. 、
She took over such an account book, and it was also a headache, so Xiao Qi was smart enough to help her.
Moreover, it is inconvenient for others to know that Xiao Qi is a direct participant in driving away Hui Chang, and it is time to find out the true situation of Fengtian Pavilion, so Chun Yumin thought about asking her for help.
Xiao Qi didn't understand the account book very well, whether it was Long Qi's memory or the experience of modern doctors, it couldn't meet the needs of checking the accounts, but after learning from Chun Yumin for a while, Xiao Qi still got started quickly.
The night breeze blew softly, and the candlelight swayed with the wind. His vision was disturbed by the flickering candlelight, and Xiao Qi slowly raised his head from the mountain of the ledger and rubbed his sore eyes.
Only then did I realize that the wind was coming from the window.
She walked over puzzled, found that the windows were leaking, and hurriedly asked Chun Yumin: "Mama, didn't you repair the house before the winter? Why are Mama's windows still leak......ing?"
"It will leak when the north wind blows, and it won't be tight when there is no wind. ”
Xiao Qi immediately understood that it was Hui Changke who deducted this part of the money, resulting in the work that should have been done not implemented at all.
"Mama, forget about the side, you are also an old man next to the Queen Mother, in the end, you are the most noble grandma in the palace, how can you still live in a leaky room. Mama is really too honest, even if you open your mouth to ask the Shanggong Bureau for some curtains to keep out the cold, the Shanggong Bureau will give it. ”
With Chun Yumin's face, which adult in the Shanggong Bureau dared to refute her. Besides, it's not an expensive thing, just a few curtains. Xiao Qi accompanied Chun Yumin to pick up things last time, and saw a lot of idle curtains in the warehouse.
"Now it only blows the north wind occasionally, and in half a month, it is the coldest time, when the wind is strong and the cold is leaking, and my mother sleeps here, but she is going to freeze. ”
Chun Yumin said indifferently: "This is the outer room, where can the wind blow to the inner room." Besides, there are curtains on my bed, all of which are blocked, and I can't even smell incense, so don't say it's a cold wind. ”
"That's not going to work. Xiao Qi quit: "This is what Mama's share should have, it should be used, the reward is shirked, and the things necessary for life still have to be put on." ”
