"An Guogong? Grandpa Guo? ”

Jiang Chen called several times, but finally brought the other party back to his senses.

"What?"

"The things have been delivered, so I won't bother when I'm down." Jiang Chen took half a step back and gave up his hand, "The disaster relief in Quzhou is urgent, and I look forward to the Anguo Mansion becoming an example for the ministers." ”

The corners of An Guogong's mouth twitched, but he couldn't get angry in public. It wasn't until all the cages were brought into the house that he threw the dowry slip to the ground.

"You say, what the hell is going on? Why doesn't An Yueli's dowry have anything of any decent value? Did you deduct it privately? ”

Yue knew that he would be angry, and he had already prepared the wording.

"The lord is angry, and the concubine is not to blame for this matter. At the beginning, the palace decreed that An Yueli should marry to King Xiao's mansion, and everyone thought that she would not live that night, and these dowries were just for show. Who knows......"

"Who knew that I not only survived, but also sat firmly on the chair of Princess Xiao."

At some point, An Yueli suddenly walked out and calmly picked up the dowry slip from the ground.

"Whew!" She blew the dust off it and took a moment to admire the contents, "Father is pleased with this gift?" ”

An Guogong's face changed several times, and finally he scolded angrily.

"You rebel! You deliberately asked the Xiao Wangfu to send the dowry back, just to humiliate me, right? ”

"How can a father think that, the daughter is helping you with an idea." An Yueli said and looked at Yue's family, "Father just saw that there was nothing valuable on the dowry list, so why don't you want to think about it, where did all the valuable things go?" ”

Yue's hands almost broke the handkerchief, and the sense of fear jumped from his heels all the way to the heavenly spirit cover.

"Master, don't listen to her nonsense."

"Is it nonsense?" An Yueli's eyes were cold, as if she was about to freeze to death, "What should be the dowry of a princess?" When I got married, how many rewards did the palace give? If your father doesn't ask, you dare to tell him. ”

After her reminder, An Guogong also remembered.

"That's right, when Yueli got married, the palace also rewarded a lot of jewelry. What about those things? ”

“……”

Seeing that the Yue clan was speechless, An Yueli persuaded calmly.

"Father, don't be angry, the matter of withholding the dowry, I have the right to temporarily store the things with Mrs. Yue. At present, as long as Mrs. Yue is willing to take out my dowry, why worry that the Guogong Mansion will not be able to survive this difficulty. ”

Yue Shi hurriedly quibbled, "Master Mingcha, those things can be filled in the middle feed." You also know that our house has a lot of expenses, and the previous income is not enough......"

"Then it can't be helped." An Yueli sighed helplessly, "My daughter has no long things, and there is only so much she can do." ”

An Guogong was so angry that his eyes were dazzled, and he almost turned his back on it.

"Yue Yan, you are limited to return all the dowry of greedy ink to me within three days. Otherwise, I will deduct it from your daughter's dowry in the future!" ”

……

Returning to the main courtyard, Yue was so anxious that he paced back and forth.

Mama Wang was dizzy by her, "Madam, don't worry, let's get together, there can always be a seven, seven, eight, eight." ”

"Minato? What to make up? Yue Shi asked with red eyes, "Jiang Qinglan was seriously ill at the beginning, and the master didn't look down on An Yueli at all, and the dowry prepared for her was not worth a few dollars." Now she needs silver, but she blames me for withholding her things. ”

Speaking of this, Mama Wang was also anxious.

"But the master has already spoken, let me get the silver taels in three days."

"No, we have to think of a way!"

Just when the master and servant were in a miserable fog because of the matter of collecting money, the courtyard suddenly became noisy and shouting.

Yue Shi complained dissatisfiedly, "What's the noise, are there any rules?" Mama Wang, let them all be quiet for me! ”

Mama Wang obeyed the order to go out to teach those ignorant subordinates, but after a while, she came back in a panic.

"Madam, the families in the house have all gone to Beiyuan, it seems that something big has happened."

Yue Shi tensed his nerves vigilantly, "Beiyuan!?" Could it be that Jiang Qinglan learned about An Yueli's dowry and made a fuss? Saying that, she shook her head again, "No, An Yueli said that she would donate the dowry, how could she make trouble?" ”

Mama Wang swallowed, "Madam, let's go and have a look, the old slave always has a sense of foreboding." ”

When the two of them came to Beiyuan in fear, they were stunned by the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors.

I saw a huge wooden board hanging on the outer courtyard wall, on which the Yue clan was in charge of the moon silver system.

Just seeing this thing, Yue's heart sank.

"Oops!"

At the same time, some people have already begun to question indignantly.

"I now know that since three years ago, my monthly silver has been raised to five taels! But I've never gotten two taels of silver, where are the remaining three taels? ”

"I too, according to the books of accounts, those like us who serve in the main court shall receive seven denises of silver a month. But I only took three taels! ”

"If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang publicizing all the account books of the past three years, I wouldn't have known that the mansion owed me so much silver!"

"Pay back! Pay it back! Pay it back! ”

When the truth is revealed, the originally tame family members become radical and angry.

In this heart-rending roar that shook the sky, the courtyard door of the North Garden slowly opened.

Four maids surrounded An Yueli and Mrs. Jiang to appear, and the mother and daughter stood high on the steps, looking down on the crowd with a posture of contempt.

"I know that everyone is angry now, because the Guogong Mansion has obviously adjusted your monthly silver since three years ago, but it has not been cashed in. Since you want an explanation, then I will give you an explanation. ”

"Everyone still has an impression of the last warehouse fire. It was precisely because of this incident that the corruption case of Steward Sun was introduced.

Over the years, he has not only guarded and stolen himself, but also secretly withheld everyone's monthly silver.

However, because Steward Sun was a distant relative of Mrs. Yue, his father did not hold his family accountable after the other party apologized for the crime.

But that's why my mother has re-enacted strict measures to ensure that the expenses in the mansion are fair and transparent. ”

An Yueli said and waved her hand, and Chasing Moon and Caiyun hung the second wooden board on the courtyard wall in front of everyone.

"I know that many people are dissatisfied with this adjustment of the monthly silver. But have you noticed that your responsibilities are more detailed?

The so-called three monks have no water to eat, and the number of people serving in a courtyard in the past is saturated. In the end, if something goes wrong, there is no clear person to bear it, so everyone can only be punished together.

But since the implementation of the new rules, the affairs of each courtyard will be broken down into tables. Who should do what and what not to do is clearly written.

If there is a problem in any link in the future, there will be a special person in charge. Others just need to do their part and never have to worry about being implicated again. ”
