30. Open and check industrial accounts
In front of outsiders, the daughter didn't dare to say this, thinking that she would lose her father's face. However, in front of her mother, the daughter is not willing to hide it. The father didn't let his daughter continue to investigate, but because some of the lost things were taken away by his daughter's maid who directly opened the warehouse. ”
Liu Xinning knows that if a child accuses his father in front of outsiders, he will definitely be kidnapped by filial piety.
Therefore, she didn't say in front of everyone that Liu Tingfeng stole something, but only said that Liu Tingfeng didn't let him check.
Then why didn't Liu Tingfeng let me check? Let's think about it.
"This matter," the eldest princess hesitated, "your father said. When he took things before, he told you that you asked him to go to the small storeroom to choose them. ”
"Ah, no, I only know four or five of them, and I have lost dozens of them......"
Liu Xinning argued, but halfway through her words, she was interrupted by the eldest princess.
"It's just a small thing, and my mother gave it to you from her private vault. Don't be sad. The eldest princess said pleadingly.
The eldest princess, who has a lot of money, thinks that the problems that can be solved with money are all small problems, and she just wants family harmony!
"How much is more?" Liu Xinning blurted out.
Most of the things she lost had no clear price.
After all, many things, sometimes not just materials, but also craftsmanship and rarity.
Just like the luxury goods of the previous life, where are the materials so expensive? It's just a variety of labels.
Even if this is the case, the few things are more than 10,000 taels.
What is the concept of 10,000 taels?
The capital is rich. Even so, the average family of three has no more than 30 taels of food, drink, and daily expenses for a year.
"At least more than 100,000 taels." The eldest princess also blurted out.
After she reacted, she added, "Look, your father said he told you, and you said no." For such a small matter, there was no harmony. Belch...... Forget it? ”
Liu Xinning secretly hated! Again, the two sides insist on their own words.
Now that she has no witnesses, it will be in vain for her to continue to speak.
Therefore, Liu Xinning quickly turned her tone, no longer entangled in whether she knew whether she knew what she was taking, and firmly grasped the theme of beating.
"Daughters don't want mother's things. If the father wants, the daughter should give it with both hands. It's just that my daughter lost a lot of things before, including some things that are not very valuable, so I just thought that someone was greedy for ink to check. Later, the father said that he would not let him check, and his daughter had already responded. But my father still wanted to 'beat' me......"
The last two words were muttered by Liu Xinning in her mouth, with a look of grievance.
"I know, I know, you're a good boy, you've been wronged. It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. ”
The eldest princess reassured again and again, "He is your father after all, and if you are at odds with him, it will not be good for your reputation if this spreads." You must know that in the name of great unfilial piety, even if you are the lord of the county, those imperial histories can also be played. You haven't said anything about ...... now."
The eldest princess talked about it again, and she stubbornly clung to her good reputation and refused to let go.
Liu Xinning somewhat understood the knot in the eldest princess's heart.
Even if the eldest princess of Changle is the eldest princess of a country, she is still burdened by fame, and it took a long time to conclude a marriage.
Therefore, to have a good reputation, I am afraid that it is already the obsession of the eldest princess.
Thinking of this, Liu Xinning's face turned blank.
"Yes. The daughter knows. The daughter obeys her father and her mother, and that's it. My daughter wants to rest. ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Xinning put on the quilt and no longer showed her head.
The eldest princess persuaded her for a long time with some trepidation, and when she saw that Liu Xinning really ignored her, she could only go back to Weiyang Courtyard in a huff.
After returning to Weiyang Courtyard, she couldn't help but sigh with a headache in front of Mama Li: "Why is Ning'er arguing with the horse now?" In the past, Ning'er and the horse were the most harmonious. ”
Don't blame the eldest princess for a headache.
After all, the original owner was in front of Liu Tingfeng, but he was very obedient, and there was never a conflict between the two people.
Therefore, the eldest princess does not have this feeling of sandwich cake either.
Now, this happened suddenly, and of course she couldn't help but have a headache.
Mama Li lowered her eyes, thinking about whether to speak.
Eventually, she gave up.
Now, the quarrel between the county lord and the concubine has just begun, and she doesn't know which side the eldest princess prefers, so she doesn't dare to speak rashly.
On the second day, Liu Xinning, who was too sad, was unwell and rested in the courtyard and didn't go anywhere.
Only Shu Yiyuan's housekeeper Aunt Chun Nuan ran around in person.
Not only did he go to Weiyang Courtyard to report the matter, but he also went to the outer courtyard to give instructions, and then brought back a bunch of account books.
"Light smoke, take it."
Liu Xinning only said one sentence to the account books piled on the table in the study.
The small warehouse in the inner courtyard can be missing so many things, so will there be a problem with her outside industry?
After all, silverfish are never just one!
But the light smoke was a little worried, "County Lord, although the maid's arithmetic is acceptable, it is also biased towards the account books of the inner courtyard. The account books in this outer courtyard are all made by the old bookkeeper who is good at making accounts, and the maid is afraid that he will not be able to see anything. ”
"I know. However, your grandfather is an old accountkeeper for many years, and he should understand it. You take the accounts, let him check them. ”
Liu Xinning knew that the person who was good at doing accounts was doing it seamlessly, and ordinary people couldn't see it.
However, when she was looking for a personal maid, she naturally also learned about the maid's net worth.
The grandfather of this light smoke was originally a small official who was good at checking accounts.
But in the period of the first emperor, because of the matter of seizing the heir, the head of Danyan's grandfather's family was guilty, and Danyan's grandfather was also implicated in the crime and sent to the fief of the eldest princess as a slave.
Later, when the eldest princess got married, the queen mother searched for some manpower and transferred the Danyan family from the fiefdom to the capital.
Later, Danyan's father became a small steward in the eldest princess's mansion, and Danyan, the son of the family, entered Shuyi Garden as a rough maid.
And now, light smoke has directly become Liu Xinning's first-class girl.
Light Smoke's grandfather was very old, and he had suffered some sins at the beginning, so now Deen is raised at home.
"Yes." When she heard that her grandfather was watching, she hurriedly responded.
"I have a lot of properties outside, and I guess this account book is also good-looking. Let your grandfather be careful. Liu Xinning admonished.
"Most importantly, let him pay attention to secrecy. Don't let irrelevant people know everything. Liu Xinning added.
The light smoke continued to answer, and then found a piece of cloth and wrapped a few account books, and went to the back alley where he lived.
Liu Xinning knew that it was not an overnight thing to find out from the good accounts, so she was not in a hurry and waited with peace of mind.
Under the strict order of the eldest princess, the contradiction between Liu Tingfeng and Liu Xinning did not spread. And Liu Xinning had no intention of going to the palace to complain.
If this kind of trivial matter is sued, it is estimated that the result is the same as that of the eldest princess, who just takes things to make up for her small treasury.
However, since this incident happened, Liu Xinning naturally had to do enough.
Therefore, the county lord of Zhaoyang, who was sad, has been hiding in the courtyard and has never gone out.
Even in the palace, the weather was cold and he couldn't accompany the Queen Mother for the time being.
Anyway, in recent times, there has been a snow from time to time, and this reason has not aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother.
However, the big girls and little maids in Shuyi Garden are in and out, looking very busy.
After all, it would not be a few days before the banquet in King An's mansion, and the county lord should buy fashionable items and prepare luxurious clothes and ornaments.
King An was the younger brother of Emperor Qingping. After Emperor Qingping ascended the throne, he gave his own brother the title of prince according to the custom.
Because King An is cautious, cautious to the end, not involved in court affairs, and really guards the title as his title.
Therefore, Emperor Qingping can be regarded as giving him a lot of face, and he rewards him from time to time.
Therefore, the banquet of King An's Mansion is also the banquet that everyone yearns for.
