Chapter 41: The Destitute Champion Chamber

Chu Zishan looked at the closed door and sighed, the current Houfu is like a plate of scattered sand.

Gu Yimo knew that there was a door in the backyard of her Houfu that communicated with the next door, knew all her preferences, and could go in and out of her Houfu as if no one was there.

The subordinate can be bought with money at will, which is a very dangerous hidden danger, the mother has no sense of crisis at all, although she is not used to it, but she does not want to talk to the mother.

Now that she is in charge of the family, she will eliminate all uneasy factors, and she will turn the Chu family into an impregnable wall, and no one will want to spy on her Chu family.

At noon, Ji Dong and Gui Qiu came over with a meal and glanced at Chu Zishan, who was still buried in the account book.

"Big girl, it's time for lunch."

Chu Zishan raised his head, put down the brush and shook his numb hand: "By the way, how was that kid yesterday?" ”

Gui Qiu said: "Bathing her last night, this child was biting and scratching, and her strength was quite strong, so she could only be tied up, and bathing her was more tiring than fighting a battle." When she was done, she shrank in the corner of the bed, and she didn't pay attention to anyone when she said anything, and she didn't eat or drink from yesterday to now.

However, just now in the early spring, she took Sister Shu to play in the girl's yard, and the child may have heard Sister Shu'er's laughter, and she looked at Sister Shu'er through the window. ”

Chu Zishan stood up and stretched, "Take the meal to Cuiwei Pavilion and call Sister Shu over." ”

After a few moments, she pushed her bed open, and a figure flashed onto the bed, and she walked in to look at the child crouched in the corner of the bed.

The washed child had a beautiful little face, long black hair was casually draped, and the big watery eyes looked at her with fear, and the clothes on her body were a little fat, shrunk in that small lump.

Chu Zishan stretched out his hand to her: "You're hungry, let's go, eat." ”

The child looked at her fixedly, motionless.

"By the way, there is also Sister Shu, she eats with us."

As soon as Chu Zishan's words fell, he heard the voice of milk cuteness.

"Aunt Zishan, are you free to play with me?"

Then, the pink and lovely sister Shu ran in and held Chu Zishan's hand with a smile.

Chu Zishan saw that the child's body moved, and seemed to want to come over but retracted it, and his big eyes looked at Sister Shu'er with curiosity without blinking.

"Hey, who is she, why doesn't she comb her hair, like a little madman." Sister Shu stretched out her little fat finger and pointed at the child.

Chu Zishan picked up Sister Shu and sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "You have to call her sister, let's comb her hair." ”

"Okay, Shu'er can comb her hair." Sister Shu screamed happily, she slipped from Chu Zishan to the ground, ran to the dressing table upside down, tiptoed to reach the wooden comb and ran back.

Chu Zishan carried her to the bed, and she walked towards the child.

"Little sister, Shu'er combs your hair."

"Hiss"

The child shrank back in horror and bared his teeth at Sister Shu.

Sister Shu'er was so frightened that her little body trembled, and she turned around and threw herself into Chu Zishan's arms, her face full of horror and grievance, and her small mouth turned into a crescent moon.

"Aunt Zishan, she's so scary, Shu'er is scared."

"Sister Shu is not afraid." Chu Zishan patted Shu'er on the back.

The child bowed her head in aggrieved form, and a large tear fell on her lap.

"Sister Shu'er is not afraid, if you say play with her, she won't murder you."

Shu'er looked up at Chu Zishan with tears in her eyes: "Really? ”

Chu Zishan nodded.

Shu'er stood up, looked at the child timidly, and approached step by step.

"Little sister, I'll play with you, don't kill me, okay?"

Her little hand touched the child's head, she turned around and smiled sweetly at Chu Zishan, "Little sister really didn't hurt me, hehe, young sister, I'll comb your hair." ”

The child was very obedient Sister Ren Shu'er combed her hair, and pouted when she was combed, but she would not be fierce to Sister Shu.

Chu Zishan took the velvet flowers and bead flowers, and also helped comb the child's hair.

After a while, she showed the child the bronze mirror, and the child tilted his head left and right to look at himself in the mirror, and his big eyes shone with joy.

Chu Zishan took the two children to lunch, accompanied by Sister Shu, and the child was very well-behaved and quiet.

She just wanted to try her luck that day, but she didn't think about it.

This child will be the biggest variable for her and the Chu family.

After a busy day, Chu Zishan returned to the bedroom, waited for her to take a hot bath in early spring, and just came out, he saw Chu Zhinan walk in with the account book.

"Zishan, there are two accounts I have to talk to you about."

Chu Zishan sat paralyzed on the chaise longue and hummed weakly: "It's not a matter of human life, Ming'er will say it again, this day will exhaust me." ”

"It's not about human life, but it's about the same." Chu Zhinan knocked on the account book.

Chu Zishan rolled his eyes: "Okay, you say, you listen." ”

"In a few days, I will send monthly money to the people in the house, and the money to the clan, the money in my hand can be put on top of the money to the clan first, but the monthly money of the subordinates is not enough."

Chu Zishan jumped up: "What? With such a big waiting house, I can't pay back the monthly money of the people, Chu Zhinan, you are treating me as a fool, thinking that I can't read the account book, I have read all the income and expenditure accounts in the house today, how can there be thousands of taels of money left in the account......"

Chu Zhinan shook his head: "Originally, there was, but a few days ago, the eldest aunt gave all the money to the third aunt, and now there is really no cash." ”

"Why did my mother give money to my third aunt, and what did she want so much money for? Also, why do we give money to the clan? Chu Zishan asked a series of questions.

"The third aunt is now in charge of four or five shops on Jinghua Street, but the business is not very good, and she has been asking the eldest aunt for money to load the goods, as for the money in the clan, it is the grandfather who placed the old and weak soldiers in the old house, and it costs a lot of money to raise these people."

"Old and weak!"

Chu Zishan patted his head fiercely, in the last life, his grandfather was framed by traitors, one of which was the rebellion of the soldiers, and the so-called soldiers were the old and weak soldiers who were raised in the old house.

Where are the soldiers, all of them returned home from the wounded on the battlefield, they should have received a court pension, but they were detained by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the injured had no livelihood, and many of them were starved to death and froze to death.

Some of them found their grandfathers, and their grandfathers couldn't bear to see the soldiers who had been on the battlefield in such a miserable end, so they gathered those people and sent them to the old mansion to be taken care of by the clansmen.

In this life, she has to think carefully about how to settle these 'old and weak soldiers'.

She looked at Chu Zhinan: "The third aunt's shop will be closed if she doesn't make money, and she will simply put money in it." ”

"Actually......" Chu Zhinan bit his red lip and said, "It's not that the shop doesn't save money, it's the third aunt ......"

"I'm going to get the money back." Chu Zishan rushed up as he spoke.

"It's been a few days, and I must have used it to load the goods a long time ago, or I'll be back."

"What then? I didn't have money to pay my subordinates monthly money, so I made a fuss, but I was laughed at by someone. ”

"There are two methods, one library has a thank you gift from Gu Gongzi......"

"This money must not be touched." Chu Zishan said firmly.

Gu Yimo approached her, his intention was unclear, if it was really the money of the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the hands of people were short, the Chu family would be passive.

Before Gu Yimo's identity is known, he must not touch his money.

Her mother, who loves money so much, didn't touch the money, which surprised her.

"What's the other way?"

Chu Zhinan sighed: "Second, you go to the household department to get all the money owed to the Houfu back." ”

"What? I owe you a lot of money, I heard you right, right? Is Great Xia so poor that it is? Do you even owe it? ”

Chu Zhinan looked at her helplessly: "Chu Zishan, Chu Zishan, when I look at you now, I feel like a child, and I hate it so much that the roots of my teeth itch."

It is impossible for the Great Xia treasury to be without money, it is the household department that targets me as the champion Houfu, since I was a child, I have heard my mother say that every month I send someone to the household department to receive the money, I will be told that there is no money for the time being, and it is basically a few months to pay a month.

I have read the accounts, and the household department has entrusted us with ten months' salaries, and if you can come back, it will greatly solve the current financial situation of the Houfu. ”

Chu Zi stood up and walked around the house.

"What has my mother been doing all these years, it's really like what my grandmother said, managing the Chu family to a miasma, I can't open the pot, let me clean up this mess for her."

"You still have the face to say auntie." Chu Zhinan snorted indignantly: "You don't want to think about yourself, how many troubles you have caused to the Chu family when you were a child." If nothing else, just the current Tobe Shiro, his youngest son was cut off by you ten years ago.

The matter of Yulu is that the household servant made it difficult for my Chu family because of the incident back then. ”

"Ten years ago?"

Chu Zishan recalled that when she was ten years old, her grandfather created her the first phoenix wing gilt boring, and she was so happy that she took the gilt boring out to play.

As soon as I went out, I met a few little boys who were about the same age as her, and they had to rob her gilt boring, and there was a little boy who punched her in the chest, and her grandmother told her that it was the girl's secret part, and it must not be touched by a man, otherwise it would be a disciple who ruined her reputation, and she was angry and cut off the little boy with a gilt boring.

Just when my father came back and saw her, he hurriedly pulled her away, otherwise, the little boy would have been hacked to death by her.

After that, she was punished by her grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she was locked up for half a month before she came out, so she went to the border city with her grandfather, and she didn't know anything about the follow-up of the child who was cut down.

There were so many troubles she had back then, she didn't remember them very much, but now it seems that her childhood lawlessness has been repaid in the champion mansion, but she doesn't know it at all.

The karmic fruits you planted yourself will be solved by yourself.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the household department to ask for money."
