Lu Wu folded her fingers to calculate the account for her, "One tael of silver is 1,500 copper coins, one hanging money is 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan can buy more than 200 catties of rice, and there are good rice and rice. If you have extra money to buy pork during the Chinese New Year, you need the kind of meat that is all fat, boiled out of meat oil to stir-fry, even if you have seen an oil star. Like Su Niangzi in Cuijin Building, when she was at her mother-in-law's house, she couldn't eat oil star a few times a year. Those farmers are reluctant to eat the vegetables they grow at home, so they keep them all and sell them in the city, and sell them to large households or restaurants, so they save so hard that they can't save more than ten taels of silver a year."

Hearing her settle the account like this, Xianglan was startled, "The girl has been here for a few months, and she is greedy for more than ten taels a month, which is forty or fifty taels of silver!" Is this Mother Wu using our girl as a bucket for leaking money?"

Before in the Li family, the yard was all his own people, Li Qingyi never asked, and the accounts were all properly placed, after arriving at the Wei Mansion, Lu Wu was almost killed in the first day, and the girls focused on preventing being assassinated, and the dozen taels of silver per month were not taken to heart, so they were very casually handed over to Wu's mother, who was in charge of the yard.

Now that there is a real deficit, it is not surprising.

Previously, the second lady and the third lady scrambled to feed the pipe, and the subordinates in the house had few children, and the loyalty was not so high.

Xianglan snorted, "Even if the money is not much, the master can't look down on it, but what the master is the master's, and what is given to her is hers, and if you take it without giving it to her, it is stealing." Girl, do you want to call Mother Wu over and see what she has to say?"

The old god Li Qingyi was flipping through the account book, "Then call over and ask."

One yard to one yard, even if she is the God of Wealth, she wants to know where the money in her fingers is lost, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Mother Wu came over soon.

Lu Wu is the most gentle on weekdays, but today's face looks gloomy, and Xiang Lan has no good face when she sees her.

Only Li Qingyiyun sat lightly at the kang table, slowly flipped through the account book, raised his finger and pointed to the small pestle for Wu's mother to sit.

Mother Wu sat down, glanced at the account book in Li Qingyi's hand, and said with a smile: "The girl suddenly called the slave and maid over, is there something to order?"

"At the end of the year, my mother's account in Panfu, I have nothing to do these days, so I took out the account of the Xiangyuan and took a look, there are a few places that are not clear, so I asked my mother to come and ask."

Mother Wu heard that she was going to take inventory, but she didn't panic at all, and seeing Li Qingyi's pleasant appearance, her sitting posture was even more relaxed, and she said with a smile: "Thanks to the girl's trust, I handed over this errand to the slave maid, the slave and maid have no reason to be unsatisfied, every amount of money in this account book, the slave and maid have carefully calculated, where can the girl not see clearly, the slave and the maid will tell you carefully?"

Li Qingyi didn't speak, and picked up the tea.

Mother Wu looked at Li Qingyi and looked at Lu Wu and Xiang Lan.

It's just that Li Qingyi didn't speak, and they didn't say anything, and the huge room seemed extremely quiet.

Mother Wu subconsciously moved her buttocks, and took the initiative to speak: "The girl ignores these mundane things on weekdays, I'm afraid I don't know, in addition to food and clothing, there are also a lot of places to spend money in this house, so I said that this silver frost charcoal, the house must not be enough, the slave maid picks the best for the girl to buy, and the girl is guaranteed to be cold." Look at the melons and fruits and refreshments on this table, the slave and maid don't dare to buy bad ones for the girl, they all pick the best and freshest, and there are invisible needles and threads in this room, which don't cost money, but they are all silver......

Lu Wu said with a cold face: "Mother Wu, our girl spoke politely to you, but your words were not sincere, is it because our girl is easy to bully, or is it because our girl is not a serious master in this mansion and doesn't like to worry about you?"

Xianglan said more directly, "Most of the food in the girl's house was sent by the county lord, how many of them were purchased by you?" Besides, even if all the things in this house were carefully selected by you, it only cost more than ten taels of silver at the beginning of the month? Also, our girl hasn't touched the needle and thread once from beginning to end, and you have to add new ones every month, so you've saved a lot, right? Take it out and let me see, what kind of gold and silver threads are so valuable?"

Mother Wu's face was pale when she was said, and then she knew that today was a Hongmen banquet, and she was suddenly a little unhappy.

"You girl can settle accounts, but you're an unsympathetic person, even if you don't spend money to buy things, someone has to run errands for you, right? It's not small inside and outside this courtyard, and there are no benefits, who wants to run errands for you? Why don't you have a break?"

Seeing that Mother Wu was upright and vigorous, her little face was red. new

Li Qingyi stopped her.

"Xianglan, since Mother Wu said so, we can't wronged her, you just go and ask clearly, whether it is from the outer courtyard or the inner courtyard, when and what things have been sent to our courtyard, if you can explain it clearly, you will have to pay five hundred yuan, and I will give you a profit market that year."

Mother Wu was talking energetically, and when she heard this, she instantly became dumbfounded.

Before Li Qingyi came to Wei Mansion, the third lady had arranged to go to the Xiangyuan Courtyard, but at that time, the third lady's advice was to look at Li Qingyi everywhere, not to let her be arrogant because of her surname Li, and to let her know clearly that she was under the fence, and to sharpen her temperament.

Don't say that Li Qingyi won't see the light of day, and he doesn't dare to talk about the Li family often.

But after the people came, not only did they not suffer a little hardship, but even the second and third ladies suffered losses at her hands one after another, and the old lady couldn't control it, Li Qingyi was much more free than the girls in Wei Mansion, and she could go out whenever she wanted, and she would go back to the Li family if she wanted to.

So what's the use of Mother Wu?

I asked the third lady, but the third lady only said to wait and see, and then there was no letter.

Wu's mother was anxious for a while, and then she discovered the benefits of Li Qingyi.

She only regarded the Xiangyuan as a temporary place to stay, and as long as everything didn't touch her, she didn't care at all, so Wu's mother beat the chicken blood again.

Since he couldn't do his errands well and get benefits from the house, he got benefits from the temple instead.

Twenty taels of silver a month in the Xiangyuan Academy, Li Qingyi basically doesn't use it much here, and the rewards are all rewarded by Li Qingyi when he encounters something, where can I use her! Most of the silver was put into her pocket, which was much more fragrant than the third lady licking her face.

It's just that every time she is also cautious, and it is not until the end of the month that she "runs out" of the silver. But this month coincided with the Chinese New Year, and the family's expenses were large, so she ate the silver in advance.

Whoever wants Li Qingyi to check the accounts at this time!
