The ledger is divided into two parts.

Part of it is to record the expenses of the servants in the government on purchases and wages.

The other part is to record the expenses of the backyard aunts.

The silver taels on the first part, Wen Chengming frowned when he saw it.

He didn't expect that the servants in his house would have so much money every month.

In the end, there has been no housekeeper for a long time, and I don't know the labor price situation outside.

Then Wen Chengming went to watch the second part, which was about the expenses of the aunts in the backyard.

The use of the aunt in the backyard, everyone else is fine, normal eating, drinking and dressing.

But Helian Jiao's expenditure here is even twice as much as the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wen Chengming couldn't help but ask Uncle Zeng: "Aunt Helian's accounts here, is there a mistake?" ”

Uncle Zeng said sincerely: "There will be no mistake, these accounts are recorded in the book, and every item can be traced back to the source, if the master does not believe it, there are more detailed records in the account room." ”

Wen Chengming's brows furrowed.

Uncle Zeng continued: "This month, Lord Helian has come to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, and when Lord Helian came to the mansion, he brought his family and children, and prepared at least two meals each time, and the use of two meals for ten people was the best to come, the roast goose of the Drunken Immortal Building, the whole sheep on Chang'an Street, and the bird's nest shark fin naturally did not fall, in addition, every time Lord Helian came, he would bring back some gifts prepared by Aunt Helian, some of which were purchased brocade silk, rouge and spices, but more of them were antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house over the years... …”

Uncle Zeng paused.

After all, I had the courage to say it.

"Didn't the dowry from the first marriage of the young lady be kept in the treasury, and during this time, Aunt Helian took almost everything there with her...... Madame and Miss don't know about this yet, and the old slave is worried about ......"

Uncle Zeng stopped talking, and when he raised his eyes to look at Wen Chengming again, Wen Chengming's face had already darkened a little.

Probably Wen Chengming didn't expect that Helian Jiao had already emptied Wen Yin's things...... Originally, he was still thinking about when those things would be sent to the General's Mansion.

Uncle Zeng's eyes rolled, thinking that Wen Chengming should have a book in his heart.

Then, he continued: "Master, every salary expenditure used to be taken directly from her body by Madame, so now ...... Madame is gone, that ......"

Wen Chengming took a deep breath and said, "Go directly to the account office to pay, just take as much as you want." ”

Uncle Zeng said: "But there is no more silver in the account room......

Wen Chengming was stunned: "What did you say?" Don't have much silver? ”

Uncle Zeng bowed: "Aunt Helian has been in the backyard for a few months, and the private account for you has been used up, did you forget to give her the key to your private account......"

Wen Chengming stood up directly from the chair, looking incredulous: "There are tens of thousands of silver in there!" ”

Uncle Zeng sighed softly: "Yes, it is tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were taken by Aunt Helian to her mother's family, that is, Lord Helian...... Well, Lord Helian was recently promoted, and I heard that it cost a lot of money to buy off the joints. ”

Wen Chengming's cheeks flushed.

He swallowed his throat: "Why didn't you say these things in the morning?" ”

Uncle Zeng was also helpless: "The old slave of this account book was only seen today, and the lady did not reveal it to the old slave before, but, can ...... These things should be known if Madame doesn't disclose them, and you ...... sir.

Wen Chengming is really blinded now.

He didn't expect that his huge Prime Minister's Mansion would rely on Ye Xiudi to live for several months.

He suddenly felt a pain in his palms.

That hand hit Ye Xiudi's face not long ago.

Ye Xiudi hated his eyes, and he remembered them all vividly.

After a long time, he relieved himself.

He said: "That's it, how much Madame's body has used, you count, now she wants to reconcile with me, I can't still beg her to come back, how much silver she has subsidized the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister can't owe her, and he must return it to her." ”

When Uncle Zeng heard this, his eyes widened.

In his tone, he couldn't help but look a little unconfident: "Master, do you want to pay it back?" ”

Wen Chengming said disapprerovantly: "Benxiang knows what you want to say, she has followed Benxiang for more than 20 years, and she has no credit and hard work, right...... I agree with what you said, but I am a man, and there is no reason for being put on the head by a woman, and today she made this show in front of Yin'er and Song Chengyu, and she didn't give her face at all......"

Wen Chengming babbled about Ye Xiudi's not.

Uncle Zeng listened honestly.

The more Wen Chengming said, the more steady Uncle Zeng's heart became.

Say it, say it.

With that said, you know how wrong you are.

"Yin'er has always been sensible and obedient, and she treats her well as a father, it must be that Ye Xiudi who made irresponsible remarks in front of Yin'er, so that Yin'er made such a move today, and she can live well in the past twenty years, but now she just can't swallow Helian's breath...... No matter how generous a woman's disguise is, it is fake, and her heart is so small. ”

"Maybe it's just that she used her body in the past few months, and she felt that she had suffered a big loss, so she began to find trouble with the prime minister, and let her daughter fight against the prime minister first, today's matter, Rao is a man who can't bear it, let alone the prime minister of this dynasty, no matter how low he is, he won't coax her back."

"Harmony and separation, this appearance is not uncommon, there are so many women who want to be the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is not inferior to Ye Xiudi at all."

Uncle Zeng listened and nodded again and again.

When Wen Chengming felt that his mouth was dry, he stopped complaining.

"Uncle Zeng, you speak, don't let Benxiang say it alone, you can also talk about it, talk about Ye Xiudi's not."

Uncle Zeng smiled slightly and said, "The old slave is just a slave, how dare he speak ill of his wife." ”

Wen Chengming said: "No, you have to say it, otherwise where can you get by in your heart......

Uncle Zeng said: "Master, in your heart, you really can't pass." ”

"Huh?"

"There are a few things you said wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Madame has not only supplemented the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few months, but before the Prime Minister's Mansion was not the Prime Minister's Mansion, Madame has been using her own body to run this family, sir...... You really shouldn't have said that Mrs. is so unbearable, she is your wife, the woman you loved when you were young, Madame, she ...... In the past 20 years, she has really been wronged. ”

"Subsidized for more than twenty years...... How can it be? ”

"Master, you are really confused, if you don't believe it, let's go to the account room and open all the accounts of these years!"
