No money? How can it be!

When she took stock last month, she deliberately left 5,000 taels in the public middle school account, and the usual expenses of the Gu Mansion were only 2,000 taels a month, even if it was a little extravagant, it was enough for the Gu Mansion to spend for two months.

Two months later, the autumn grain came up, and there was also the production of the shop Zhuangzi, not to mention that it could collect 4,000 taels.

Why is it that in less than half a month now, 5,000 taels are gone?

Even the House of the Giants didn't cost so fast!

Mrs. Gu was already angry and angry, and when she heard the words of the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion, she was even more angry, "What about the silver in the public!" ”

The housekeeper knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Mrs. Hui, the old slave didn't know, and the old slave only went to the account room to withdraw money to buy horses, and then he knew......"

"Bring me all the people in the bookkeeper! The books of accounts are also brought! Mrs. Gu said sharply.

The housekeeper immediately responded, and in a panic took the guards to the account room to get people.

After a while, the two bookkeepers in the bookkeeper were escorted to Mrs. Gu by the guards.

Mrs. Gu looked at it, her eyebrows tightened, "What about Steward Mao?" ”

The two bookkeepers were lying on the ground trembling, and one of them said in a low voice: "Mrs. Hui, Steward Mao was not at the house two days ago, saying that the old mother in his hometown was seriously ill and had taken leave to return to his hometown to visit his mother." ”

Mrs. Gu slapped on the small table next to her, Steward Mao took leave at this time, and if the account room had nothing to do with him, it would be hell!

"Bring the books!"

The maid next to her immediately presented the account book brought by Mr. Bookkeeper to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu opened the account book and couldn't help but tremble when she read it.

It's only been less than half of this month, and Master Gu Gu Long actually spent eight hundred taels! Of these, 600 taels were taken by him to buy calligraphy and paintings and give them to his boss and colleagues!

Gu Long's yamen is an idle yamen at all, and the people who go to the yamen are all loose officials, and they don't go to order for a year, but he spends money on these people!

Gu Hongchao spent no less than his father, and he took away a thousand taels at the beginning of the month.

Mrs. Gu took a deep breath and asked, "What did the Hong Dynasty do with this thousand taels?" ”

The account room lay on the ground and whispered, "Listen...... I heard that the eldest young master's silver was used to buy jewelry for the white girl...... At the beginning of the month, the White Maiden had a box of new clothes and several sets of valuable jewelry. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and spent a thousand taels to buy clothes and jewelry! It's still a month!

No wonder every time she saw Bai Lingge, Bai Lingge didn't wear the same clothes.

Even if she is herself, Gu Yufei, or even the eldest princess, she only adds a few sets of new clothes when the seasons change every year, so that the cost of clothes for a large family is only 1,000 taels a year.

Bai Lingge is good, one person spends more than a big family a month!

In the past, when the Gu Mansion was rich in silver, although Mrs. Gu was also dissatisfied, she didn't feel anything, but now that there is no silver in the public account, and she suddenly lost so many properties, she suddenly felt a pain in her flesh.

Although Steward Mao is greedy for ink, the accounts are very detailed, and Mrs. Gu's ability can't see that there is anything wrong with it.

"Isn't there three thousand taels left in the public account, where is it?" Mrs. Gu shouted angrily.

The two bookkeepers lowered their heads, but they quickly told the truth, and they only learned after Steward Mao left, three thousand taels, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to.

"It was supported by Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Walked away ......"

When Mrs. Gu heard the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess", she instantly threw the account book to the ground.

She got up and walked around the flower hall with her waist crossed, "Are you all rubbish!" Three thousand taels, Her Royal Highness the princess can take it away if he wants to? No one came to tell me? ”

The bookkeeper said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Hui, the little ones also learned later. On that day, the eldest maid of Her Royal Highness the princess came with a fierce and vicious personal guard to invite the Mao steward away, and after the Mao steward took leave, the little ones found out about it after clearing the accounts......"

Although the eldest young master is not close to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess on weekdays, the eldest princess is the eldest princess after all, her status is noble, and she is the same master in the Gu Mansion as the eldest and young master, and the lady has never said that the eldest princess will not be allowed to withdraw the silver taels, even if they found out, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter, until today they were escorted to Mrs. by the housekeeper.

Mrs. Gu became more and more angry when she heard this.

The people in the room did not dare to come out of the quiet atmosphere.

At this time, the maid beside Mrs. Gu walked quickly to Mama Ge's side, and said in a low voice: "The second lady wants to eat the noodle of the Huaixiang Pavilion, the price of the noodle in the Huaixiang Pavilion has increased today, and it costs twenty taels of silver for a table, and the account room can't pay the silver, so the second lady's personal grandmother asked me what was going on." ”

Even if the maid suppressed her voice and said it to Mama Ge, Mrs. Gu also heard it.

is already angry, Gu Yufei still has to spend twenty taels to eat the banquet in the restaurant!

Mrs. Gu, who loves her daughter on weekdays, couldn't help but scold: "Her brother is injured like this, she still has the heart to eat noodles!" Let someone call Yu Fei to serve his brother to take medicine! ”

Mama Ge hurriedly squatted down and saluted "hey", and then drove the maid out to talk.

The low pressure in the flower hall lasted for almost two quarters of an hour, and Mrs. Gu pressed her forehead and instructed the personal maid beside her, "Go to my room and take a thousand taels for Steward Gu, and temporarily support the expenses of the house." ”

The maid walked quickly.

Mrs. Gu looked at the housekeeper with a solemn face, "Old Gu, you come to report to me every other day that the money in the mansion is used, in this mansion, except for me, no one else is allowed to withdraw the silver taels from the public account without permission!" ”

The butler hurriedly gave it up.

In the past, there were those properties of Qin Shuhuang, and Mrs. Gu had a lot of income every month, and in the past few years, she had saved a lot of herself, but now these properties are suddenly gone, and she is in pain when she takes out a thousand taels.

Today, whether it is the loss of property or Gu Hongfeng's injury, it has stimulated Mrs. Gu a lot, originally she didn't like Qin Shuhuang and wouldn't show it in front of others, but today she couldn't hold back, and every expression and movement was full of dissatisfaction with Qin Shuhuang.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, but Qin Shuhuang was not in Gu Mansion at this time, so she didn't even have a chance to question in person.

Thinking of the courtyard where Qin Shuhuang lived and the expensive and valuable dowry placed in the Gu family's treasury, Mrs. Gu was greedy, since Qin Shuhuang dared to take the silver from the Gu family's official account at will, then she would take the good things and dowry in her yard, and when Qin Shuhuang came back, she would definitely be mad when she saw the empty courtyard!

As soon as she thought of this, a trace of refreshment rose in Mrs. Gu's heart.

She instructed Mama Ge beside her.

Mama Ge was originally a "dog" beside Mrs. Gu, and she was whatever Mrs. Gu said.

Mama Ge listened to Mrs. Gu's words, and gathered the maid and the maid to prepare to follow Mrs. Gu to Qin Shuhuang's courtyard.

Before the group went out, Gu Long came back.

Gu Long just went to see Gu Hongfeng, and when he saw Mrs. Gu's appearance, his face was even more ugly, "What are you doing here!" ”

Mrs. Gu saw that Master Gu's face was ugly, and her mind calmed down a lot.

Gu Long glanced at the subordinates behind Mrs. Gu, "What are you still doing in a daze!" What should you not do, what should you do! If you pry your wife again, I will sell you out of the house tomorrow! ”

Mama Ge glanced at Mrs. Gu, and seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, she immediately dismissed the assembled maids.

Gu Long looked at Mrs. Gu, "You come in with me!" ”

Mrs. Rao complained that Gu Long spent so much silver every month, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Gu Long.

Gu Long already knew what had happened today.

Today, the Xia family's deposition of his son has been spread to the yamen where he is.

His yamen was already idle, and of course this matter became a talking point in the yamen, and he came out of the yamen with a black face.

After entering the room, Mrs. Gu cried and told Gu Long what happened today.

Gu Long's face darkened, "What were you going to do just now, copying the eldest princess's courtyard?" Hand a knife to the eldest princess and drag everyone in our Gu family into the water? ”

Mrs. Gu, who was crying, suddenly choked, she looked at her husband with wide eyes, "There is a Hongchao, she dares!" ”

"Haven't you already experienced whether she dares or not?" Gu Long's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mrs. Gu was speechless now.

After a while, he pondered: "The eldest princess only wants the Hong Dynasty now, and wants to abandon our Gu family?" ”

In the past, Gu Long thought so, but now he is not sure.

Can his eldest son really trip up the eldest princess?

Mrs. Gu was a little scared, "Master, what should we do then?" ”

Gu Long twisted his fingers, "Originally, I wanted to tell you about this matter later, but what happened today, I will tell you in advance, a few days ago, I had a relationship with General Liu." ”

In addition to the sincerity of the Yue family, the regent Qin Wei also has two most trusted generals, one literary and one military, and the military general is the general Liu in Gu Long's mouth. Wenchen's surname is Luo, his name is Luo Chu, Luo Chu did not hold any official position in the court, but he was only Qin Wei's staff, and few people knew Luo Chu's appearance on weekdays.

Mrs. Gu was surprised, she thought that Gu Long spent so much silver every month, but she didn't expect it to be really useful.

But in an instant, she twisted her eyebrows, and her husband obviously wanted to use General Liu to cling to the regent.

She said: "The Xia family is the regent's Yue family, does the lord really care about Hongfeng?" Although Hongfeng is useless, it is my own flesh and blood with the master! If you don't avenge him, who will avenge him! ”

Gu Long patted Mrs. Gu's hand soothingly, "Hongfeng's revenge will naturally be avenged, our enemy is the Xia family, not the regent, who said that the regent will always rely on the Xia family?" ”

Only then did Mrs. Gu understand what her husband meant.

Today, the saint is already at the age of a weak crown, but he has not yet been pro-government, and has been pressed by the regent.

If the regent had the idea of returning to power, he would have to hand over the power in his hands as early as when the emperor was eighteen years old, but the regent Qin Wei not only did not do this, but dragged on until the emperor was twenty years old and still firmly held the regent.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

If the emperor completely becomes the puppet of the regent, Qin Shuhuang, the eldest princess, is nothing.

For the future of the Gu family, it is natural to rely on the regent.

Gu Long saw his wife's disdain and dissatisfaction with the eldest princess, and reminded: "But before the matter is settled, our Gu family still has to rely on the eldest princess!" So you have to endure even if you endure it! When Hongfeng is better, you let people watch him, don't let him go out and cause trouble. ”

"In addition, Hong Chao can no longer follow him like this, he is talented and resourceful, but he just lacks a chance, let him apologize to the eldest princess, and have a round house with the eldest princess, as long as the eldest princess has his child, he can enter the court and become a fourth-grade official. If the eldest princess is not happy, she will give up the child in the white girl's belly! When the Hong Dynasty has an official body, then accept the white girl as the second room. ”
