Mother Zheng, who was waiting on the side, was taken aback when she heard this, how could she know so clearly? Without the slightest error!

Princess Chengjun glanced at Zheng's mother, "Is she right?"

Mother Zheng hesitated, "Princess Huijun, that's right. But the slave maid never told Miss Cousin......

Princess Chengjun was a little surprised and asked Han Youning, "How do you know so clearly?"

Han Youning said lightly, "Because this silver is from the little girl."

Xiao Wen said unhappily, "Ning girl, you can't talk nonsense, when did you give the silver?"

Han Youning smiled, "The second lady invited the bookkeeper of the outer courtyard, and she will know as soon as she asks."

Xiao Wen listened to the faint sound of discussion, his face was very bad, and he looked at Han Youning with a bamboo in his chest, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"Our flower house is to go to the account of the inner courtyard, why do we ask the account room of the outer courtyard to do it?"

Han Youning didn't explain to her, "The second lady will invite someone first."

Xiao Wen glanced at Mother Qian, "Go and ask the clerk to come over."

Mother Qian should go down and leave quickly.

Old Madam Han's face was slightly gloomy.

She thinks that she is quite good at the people in the house, but the only thing she can't control is this clerk.

The clerk followed the old Dingguo Gong to the battlefield, and he couldn't fight with a broken leg, and he could read and write words, so he came to the house to be the manager of the outer courtyard.

This person doesn't eat oil and salt, only admits death, and doesn't give her face at all. No matter how she did her work in the accounts, she never dared to touch the accounts in the outer courtyard.

But I don't know why Chen Youning got involved with him.

Princess Chengjun glanced at Mrs. Han, whose face was obviously not very good, and was quite interested, drinking tea, and leisurely admiring the chrysanthemums by the pavilion.

The clerk was quickly brought over.

is many years old, with a lame leg, a scar on his face that runs diagonally across the entire face, and a pair of sharp eyes, it looks very scary.

He only arched his hand to say goodbye, and didn't say a word of superfluity, it was all a martial artist.

Mother Qian shook her head lightly at Xiao Wen, her brows furrowed.

Xiao Wen didn't ask anything.

Xiao Wen asked him kindly, "Steward Wen, I heard that Miss Biao said that he filled the silver in the outer courtyard, is there such a thing?"

In one sentence, she defined giving silver as Han Youning's relationship with the outer court, and she had some unknown thoughts.

She learned a lot of this verbal skill from the old lady, and the effect has been very good. As long as the clerk should be in charge, there will be a lot of imagination space, and there is no need to ask clearly, so that everyone can make up for it.

The clerk was expressionless, "The second lady's words are wrong. Miss Biao gave the silver for a reason, and she gave the silver to buy chrysanthemums. Miss Biao was grateful for the kindness of the old lady, and when she saw that her daily silver was spent, she was troubled, so she asked the lowly to inquire how much silver was used to buy the flowers, and she gave the silver to the lowly in private."

He took out a slip from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Wen, "This is a detailed list of flowers to buy every day. Zheng's mother actually spent 1,836,24 yuan to buy flowers, and reported 2,136,24 yuan to the account office in the inner courtyard. Miss Cousin is the money according to the account of the inner court."

Mother Zheng's face was pale, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Wen, "Second lady, there is nothing to do, he made something out of nothing and slandered the slave!"

The clerk said coldly, "I went to check one by one in the flower market, and there are accounts in each store, and I have my own way to see the accounts in the inner courtyard. If the second lady has a heart, she will find out when she checks it."

Xiao Wen knew that the housekeepers and mothers under his hands were fishing for oil and water, but they didn't expect to fish so hard, three hundred taels! The second master's miscellaneous money for a year does not necessarily add up to three hundred taels!

But at this time, it was not the time to deal with her when the guests were full, so she glared at Zheng's mother fiercely, "Get down!"

Mother Zheng staggered back, she knew that she was finished.

At this time, there was already an uproar all around, and what they cared about was not the housekeeper's mother's private pockets, but the fact that Miss Biao spent her own money to buy flowers

。

"So, those chrysanthemums are her own silver!"

"In this way, she is not so ignorant of progress and retreat, and she does not know how to be grateful. On the contrary, he is quite thoughtful......

"But I don't know how the name of pride got out?"

Just three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren, with their servants, were lenient and benevolent, and they were aggrieved and crying, and they all became jokes at this time.

Their purpose is clear.

Everyone looked at each other meaningfully, and then said nothing.

Although the discussion was small, it couldn't stop the place from being so big, and Xiao Wen knew that at this time, he could only continue to go on his own head, and he couldn't tarnish his mother-in-law's reputation for generosity.

Xiao Wen questioned the clerk, "Since you have received the money, why don't you tell me and make this matter clear?"

The Wen manager's eyes shrank, and the scars on his face became more and more hideous, which made Xiao Wen's heart frightened.

"Second lady, you don't have that kind of dirty mind to enrich your own pockets."

He sneered, "It is estimated that this country's mansion is rotten up and down, and it is too filthy, so it can't accommodate frank people."

This kind of insinuating words made everyone's eyes light up. This "up and down", naturally these masters are indispensable!

Xiao Wen forced his composure, and his tone of voice had unconsciously become more and more severe, "Be cautious in your words! Tell me, 'Why didn't the money go out of the account of the outer court?"

She knew that Han Youning had been to the account room in the outer courtyard twice, but she couldn't find out what she had done. She checked the accounts of the outer courtyard and saw nothing wrong. In the end, she took it lightly, thinking that she was going to inquire about the news of Dingguo Gong, and didn't think much about it elsewhere.

Now, there is only one way to hold him as a secret account.

Although the steward looked vicious, his tone was obviously much kinder when he mentioned Han Youning, "Miss Biao doesn't want to make everyone know about the gift of silver, which hurts the old lady's compassion. She asked the lowly to exchange the silver for food and transfer it to the frontier soldiers, which not only relieved her uneasiness, but also lived up to the old lady's heart."

Old Madam Han sighed secretly, today's events had become more and more beyond her expectations.

She spoke to Han Youning affectionately, blaming and distressing, "You kid, why are you so outside, secretly doing this kind of thing of borrowing flowers and offering Buddha. Let those who don't know think that the Guogong Mansion has mistreated you and asked you to spend an orphan's money. 200,000 soldiers of the Southwest Army, you can't even make a splash with that little bit of silver, so what can you do?"

Han Qingwan also knew that if she didn't control things at this time, not only would the reputation of their ancestors and grandchildren be damaged, but also Chen Youning would take the opportunity to become famous.

She stepped forward, took Han Youning's hand and said with a smile, "Cousin doesn't know, grandmother is frugal on weekdays, and the money she saves is all sent to the southwest. If you have such a good intention, it is convenient for you to tell your grandmother, and she will send the money together. If the clerk buys grain for your two thousand taels of silver alone, the distance is long and the manpower and material resources are consumed, and I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss."

The meaning of their ancestors and grandchildren is obvious, Han Youning paid more than 2,000 taels of silver and won a good reputation, but in the final analysis, the silver was still from their country's mansion. And in order to achieve her good name, others have to be embarrassed.

Now that she is making things like this, she is deliberately trying to save the face of the Guogong Mansion, right?

Han Youning looked at the two of them, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

------Off topic------

Thank you, dear friends, for Momo to worry about the shelves and recommendations.

Although I don't know much about the recommendation mechanism, I probably know that it is complementary to factors such as the number of favorites, comments, etc.

A few days ago, there was a wave of testing the water, but unfortunately Mo Mo was not angry, and the data was not very good.

So I don't have any good recommendations lately.

I try my best to tell this story well and live up to everyone's enthusiasm~~
