Chapter 157: Drawn from the Lady's Accounts
I learned from Ye Xiudi's side that this is all about the situation.
In order to understand more comprehensively, Wen Yin came out of Ye Xiudi's room and talked to Uncle Zeng.
Wen Yin sat in the hall, and Uncle Zeng stood below.
Although he bent over and looked pious, there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.
She's a junior after all.
When Uncle Zeng faced Wen Chengming, Wen Chengming might not let him stand below for half an hour like this.
During this period, Wen Yin ate snacks and drank two cups of tea.
I read another book.
After she felt that it was almost over, she put down the things in her hand and looked at Uncle Zeng with a pair of eyes.
"Uncle Zeng has been taking care of the house for my father, it should have been more than 20 years."
Uncle Zeng smiled: "It's been twenty-three years, and when the master was not the prime minister, the slave followed the adult. ”
Wen Yin raised her eyebrows and said, "You should know the situation in the mansion best, the new Helian clan wants to live in my mother's courtyard, what does Uncle Zeng think?" ”
Uncle Zeng had already expected Wen Yin to ask such a question.
He replied to the words he had already thought of before: "The main thing is that Helian Xiaoniang is pregnant now, and the yard where she lives now is facing the west, which is trendy and cloudy, so I want to change to a larger yard, who knows that she has taken a fancy to Madame's yard at a glance, it is understandable, but it is still a bit excessive, this matter also depends on what Madame thinks, if she is generous, it will not be in the way......"
Uncle Zeng's tone was very gentle, but the content of these words made people very uncomfortable to listen to.
"So, about changing the yard, Uncle Zeng thinks that Helian Jiao did nothing wrong, but my mother is stingy, so there are contradictions these days?"
Uncle Zeng denied again and again: "No, no, the slave didn't say so, Madame's magnanimity is a blessing in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Wen Yin smiled coldly, and her face was no longer colorful: "Yes, my mother almost doesn't care about the affairs of the house, just let you people forget, who is the master mother in the prime minister's mansion." ”
Uncle Zeng's face darkened slightly, but he still pretended to be kind on the surface.
"The eldest lady said this, we are really scared to be slaves, Madame trusts us to be willing to let go of everything in the house to us, the minions are grateful to Madame, now we are doing something wrong, it is actually Madame Miss feels offended...... In this case, this housekeeper old slave still doesn't do a good job in the end. ”
Wen Yin smiled lightly.
did not take Uncle Zeng's threat in the slightest.
Yes, Uncle Zeng is familiar with the top and bottom of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and knows how to deal with those people and things.
Wen Yin also had to admit the importance of Uncle Zeng to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If there is such a person missing, it will not be a little trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
is such a person, who respects himself in old age, and doesn't even take the housewife in the prime minister's mansion in his eyes.
"Because Helian Jiao gave you some benefits, you thought that if Helian Jiao ascended to the throne in the future, you would also be able to follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, right?"
Wen Yin's eyes were sharp, and she looked at Uncle Zeng.
Uncle Zeng was seen through, but he was not afraid at all: "The words of the eldest lady, what is the crime you want to add, you don't trust the old slave so much, the old slave has nothing to say, when the prime minister comes back, the old slave will resign from the position of the butler of the prime minister's mansion." ”
"Resignation...... Hehe, I don't know if it's to scare Miss Ben, or to scare the little lady in the backyard who doesn't know her duty, Uncle Zeng, you just have to rest assured and boldly resign, after resigning, you can see if that little lady can say a word for you! ”
Uncle Zeng's face at this time was a little unbearable.
But it's only been a moment since I said it, and I can't give myself a straight denial.
He swallowed his throat: "The old slave has dedicated his life to the Prime Minister's Mansion, just so that the Prime Minister can be more comfortable, what is in the backyard and front yard, the old slave never cares......"
"I don't care, if only I didn't care."
Wen Yin's posture did not soften.
She knew that over the years, although her mother had not managed the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for the sake of the dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had also invested a lot of money in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years, especially in Wen Yin's food and clothing, which was the best.
Wen Yin's own father's fortune reluctantly opened the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If it weren't for Wen Chengming's family background, where would he be able to marry these women in the backyard.
It is precisely because of marrying these people in the backyard that there is more food and clothing, so that Uncle Zeng has more or less benefited from the little girls.
Ye Xiudi felt that when Uncle Zeng's salary was given and his salary was increasing every year, Uncle Zeng should not be dissatisfied.
However, the little ladies in the backyard know too well that men, whether they are old or young, like to be held, and in order to compete for favor, they will give Uncle Zeng some benefits, whether it is actual benefits or verbal praise, these Uncle Zeng has never and cannot get it from Ye Xiudi.
Uncle Zeng is in a state of being held all the time.
He no longer knew that the reason why he could have his current status was only because he was the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If he wasn't the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would be nothing.
"Uncle Zeng, you have lived a handful of years, how can you be blinded by those little favors, you calculate how much your monthly salary is, and then calculate how much benefit those little ladies can give you, my mother has invested a lot of money in the Prime Minister's Mansion in recent years, don't you know that your salary is personally drawn out of my mother's account every month?"
Uncle Zeng was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "From the lady's account? How could it be ......"
Uncle Zeng's face suddenly became frightened.
"But Helian said that my salary is the master'......"
Wen Yin shook her head: "How is it impossible, my father's salary is only a few dollars, and your salary has to occupy half of my father's income." ”
Wen Yin directly took out the account book in the mansion and threw it in front of Uncle Zeng: "Uncle Zeng check it for himself and see if what Helian Jiao said is true or false." ”
Uncle Zeng looked through the ledger and slammed his knees to the ground.
His face was immediately stained with remorse.
"Miss, the old slave is clumsy, and the ears are behind the back, so I listened to the nonsense of the Helian clan, and the old slave really didn't know that Mrs. had worried about the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years."
Wen Yin knew that Uncle Zeng's nature was not bad, but to say that he was a little small-minded.
He only cared about how happy Wen Chengming was, and he didn't look at the overall situation in the entire mansion......
Wen Yin got up and helped Uncle Zeng up with her own hands.
Uncle Zeng was flattered, and after standing up, he hurriedly retreated, not daring to contaminate Wen Yin.
"Uncle Zeng, now that the problem between us has been discussed, I won't hide it from you that I came to you today for the Helian clan in the backyard! This person has made a mess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you say, but what is the way to clean her up? ”
When Uncle Zeng heard this, he sighed deeply.
"Miss, Madame has been wronged during this time...... It's really a master, he's obsessed with that Helian ghost. ”
