Chapter 16 One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
Ruan Mianmian glanced at it, eight ingots of silver, and looked at her mother's reaction, this box of silver is not small.
"Third lady, this is eighty taels of silver." Mama Yun stepped forward and picked up two ingots of silver and motioned for Zhou Yuning to look.
Mama Yun lowered her voice, "There is a silver ticket of one thousand taels at the bottom." ”
Suddenly giving so much silver, the Hou Mansion shouldn't plan to drive them out, right? Thinking of this, Zhou Yunning's face turned white.
"Mama Yun, are these also rewarded by grandmother?" Ruan Mianmian asked very calmly.
"Little boy, it's not the old lady's reward, this is the slave maid who was ordered to take it from the account room for the third lady, and it is the share of the third room for three years."
"Copies?" Ruan Mianmian quickly reacted, "One thousand and eighty taels for three years, and thirty taels per month." ”
"In the Hou Mansion, the monthly routine of the lady is twenty taels, the monthly example of the son is ten taels, and the sum of the third lady and you is thirty taels per month."
Ruan Mianmian nodded oldly, seeing that Mama Yun was about to put the two ingots of silver back in her hand, she stopped: "Mama, it's getting dark, and everyone has to work hard to make a trip, take the two ingots of silver and divide them." ”
is really a transparent baby, just like a person, Mama Yun is smiling with two ingots of silver.
"The third lady and the little boy have a reward, you can take it and divide it."
"Thank you, Third Lady, thank you, little boy."
The people who accompanied him said thank you again and again, and for them, a lot of monthly money for one or two months was a huge amount of income.
Seeing Zhou Yuning standing at a loss, Ruan Mianmian reminded: "Mother, don't hurry up and take the silver into the house and put it away." ”
"Oh, good, good." Zhou Yuning hurriedly covered the box, turned around and ran towards the house.
"Mama, you have followed your grandmother for many years, you have never seen any good things, and you don't look down on those tacky things." Ruan Mianmian took two steps back and bowed, "Hello, Mianmian has written it down." ”
Ruan Mianmian's words mean that I owe you a personal favor, and I will repay it another day.
Mama Yun admired in her heart: What a delicate little person, he is so sleek when he is only three years old, and he must be even more amazing when he grows up.
"The little boy is serious, the slave is just acting on orders." Don't dare to snub Mama Yun solemnly return the gift.
Ruan Mianmian smiled, and Mama Yun also smiled, it's good to talk to smart people, needless to say, they understand each other.
The group came to the fence and settled in a big way, and after the tea they left happily.
Shuang'er looked at the crowded boxes and the box of silver in the stuffed room and looked dazed: "Third lady, I'm not dreaming? ”
"Sister Shuang'er, it's not a dream. I said someone would bring silver. Ruan Mianmian turned to Zhou Yuning triumphantly, "Mother, I'm right." ”
"Mianmian, what's going on?"
Ruan Mianmian relayed what she deliberately said in front of Ruan Geng, of course, she skipped about the Rubik's Cube.
"In this way, the Hou Mansion did not ignore our mother, and your grandfather and grandmother were also kept in the dark."
"Mother, some things are not what you imagined, sometimes what you see and hear with your own eyes may not be true, let alone relayed by others."
After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she pulled Shuang'er to open the box to see the things sent by her grandmother, and Zhou Yuning was thoughtful.
The news seemed to have grown wings, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to every corner of the Hou Mansion.
Everyone whispered and discussed, the focus was on the big room and the third room, and the second room, which had always been low-key, was ignored as usual.
In fact, the first to receive the news was the big house in Hengwuyuan, and after Mrs. Ruan took the silver from the account room and left, Steward Zhang rushed to report to Chen Wanyu.
Chen Wanyu's hands trembled and broke the tea bowl, she never expected that Mrs. Ruan would meddle in internal affairs without making a sound, and go to the account room directly.
After a while, the people under his hands came with news that Mama Yun of Fu'an Hall had gone to the fence with a large number of old lady's rewards.
Hearing this news, Chen Wanyu thought for a long time and didn't say anything for a long time.
Steward Zhang cautiously asked, "Big lady, what should I do now?" ”
"In addition to the accounts of the third room, what other account books did the old lady check?" Chen Wanyu didn't even notice that her voice was trembling.
"Nope." Steward Zhang was also very confused, "When the old lady entered the door, she ordered to take the account book of the third room, and after reading it, she asked the little one to prepare a thousand taels of silver tickets and eighty taels of silver, she didn't say anything more, she took it and left." ”
"There is no problem in the account book of the third room, Zhou Yunning's share is also hanging, the old lady took it into the account, and I will make up for the silver two privately."
"The little one is for the third lady to sign for it."
"Do it according to the rules." Chen Wanyu took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Yes, the little one understands, but I'm afraid that the old lady will come again......."
"You go back and hurry up, remember that you did it yourself, those conspicuous traces of the Hou Mansion's accounts have been smoothed out, and if it really doesn't work, let's discuss it again."
"Little one understands." Steward Zhang left in a hurry.
Qin Ruolan, who was sitting next to Chen Wanyu and listening, soothed: "Auntie, isn't Grandmother Ruan just helping Sanfang get a share, what a big deal, what are you panicking about?" ”
"You know what?" Chen Wanyu's eyes flashed, "The old lady has not cared about the affairs of the house for ten years, don't underestimate her hand, there is a lot of meaning in it." ”
"Don't scare yourself." Qin Ruolan didn't care, "Isn't it more than a thousand taels of silver, even if you really take it, it won't be over if you make up for it." ”
"The old woman wants a share for the third room, which is equivalent to telling everyone that she doesn't hold a grudge against the two of them, and the third room will not be so easy to handle in the future. To make matters worse, she was clearly beating me. ”
Qin Ruolan didn't seem to understand: "Why did you want to beat you?" ”
"Since Ruan Mianmian woke up from falling into the water, the relationship between the two old ones and Sanfang has become closer and closer." Chen Wanyu looked worried.
"Auntie, what are you worried about?"
"You don't understand."
"What do you say, I'll listen to it, learn a little more, that's good."
Chen Wanyu nodded slightly: "It's okay to say that you listen." According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, your uncle's monthly example is thirty taels, I am twenty taels, your two cousins are ten taels each, and you are also ten taels. ”
"How can you spend so much money?" Qin Ruolan exclaimed.
"The total of all the people in the big house is only eighty taels of silver. Not to mention anything else, you alone spend more than 100 taels a month. Over the years, our expenses have all relied on my turnover in the office. ”
Now Qin Ruolan understood: "Then what should I do?" If the old woman checks the accounts? ”
"She just started beating me, and there was something wrong with the third room, let alone anything else." Chen Wanyu gradually calmed down, "For today's plan, I can only try to smooth out the obvious loopholes and mistakes on the account first, lest she suddenly get into trouble, and then she will really be caught off guard." ”
"Auntie, the old woman doesn't want to deprive you of the power of the house, does she?" Qin Ruolan asked worriedly.
