Chapter Thirty-Seven: Using the Strong?
Zhang hadn't looked in the mirror yet, and he didn't know how scary he was at the moment, not that he was ugly, but his simple blue face was like a female ghost buried in a coffin.
Therefore, I didn't think that Second Master An was disgusting her, but it was just plain uncomfortable.
Zhang let go of the hand held by the maidservant, and staggered forward a few steps, and the voice of Greeting An was even weaker, like a mosquito calling.
The old lady's eyelids jumped, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, what does Zhang look like now? Especially when comparing people with others, look at Li's sitting and standing phases, and Zhang's is a lot older, this is what the Yangzhou thin horse looks like?
Since she doesn't want to be the main room, she might as well be like the women outside, just for men to have fun.
If it weren't for thinking about An Xinyou, the old lady would have been able to say anything ugly.
Waiting for everyone to sit down, the old lady simply said a few words of Lee's meaning.
"Next month is the New Year's Day, there are many places to spend money, plus Hongshao is out of the pavilion, otherwise I wouldn't have asked my younger brothers and sisters about the money in advance, I should have mentioned this family matter directly." After the old lady finished speaking, Li explained again.
Originally, Zhang's body was comfortable, but he couldn't sit down, and he was almost half-lying on the chair.
When the old lady said anything about family affairs, Zhang's first reaction was, it's not worth trusting, how could Li be so kind?
Before falling in love with the granddaughter of the Li family, the Li family refused on the spot, there was no room for turnaround, and later proposed to record An Xinyou in the name of the big house, and the Li family also looked at them like a thief.
Okay now, go on the pole and say goodbye to An Xinyou?
The Zhang family doubted that it was the kind of old girl who couldn't get married, so they thought of An Xinyou.
Waiting for Li to finish speaking, Zhang immediately reacted, this is thinking about asking for money from himself? Thinking about taking away the money from the public and giving An Hongshao as a dowry?
"Sister-in-law doesn't know, everyone in this family has to open their mouths to eat, our family is not a rich family, where can I come up with any spare money, I am worried about how to spend this year." The Zhang family made up their minds, even if An Hongshao's dowry could not be left, the silver money in the public had to be taken care of, and An Hongshao would not be allowed to take away a copper plate.
When Li Shi heard this, he frowned slightly, "Did my brother and sister remember badly?" Our family is so short of silver? ”
Zhang shook his head again and again, "I am in charge of this account, and I have a good idea of how much money I give out every day." As he spoke, he glanced at Second Master An, "In order to make the men in the family more abundant, it is how to save money by measuring every day." ”
Second Master An finally eased up, listened to Zhang's sarcasm, coughed lightly, and hurriedly lowered his head and fiddled with the cup in front of him.
Of course, Second Master An understands what the Zhang family means, he is raising women outside, why do people follow him, naturally because he is generous, this yard, servants and maids, which one does not need silver.
Moreover, when it comes to Second Master An, he can also block the old lady's mouth.
Hearing this, the Li family pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid it's not right, my husband's monthly imperial court has issued a pension silver, and since last month, he has added some more, and the second master also has his own monthly silver, Xin You's side, the people of the previous family left the house and accompanied the general dowry, so soon it was spent?" ”
Li muttered, and then handed the old lady the account book he had made yesterday.
Li is fast-moving, she has just taken charge of the big kitchen, how much the big kitchen spends every day, and how much the cooks themselves can know.
Furthermore, the pension silver of the big house in the past, the difference between this and the main room is still quite big, and after the Li family straightens it, this silver money should also be raised.
As for how much money is paid by the big house every month, although the Li family has not managed the house, there are records of this matter, and it is not difficult to find out.
The account book made by the Li family is very detailed, and the money that can be put in every month is written down with the money that will come out.
Even people who don't manage the country can still understand this ledger.
The old lady looked at the ledger page by page, and when she saw the amount of money at the bottom, her eyes changed slightly.
Zhang said that there was no silver money, no silver money, and it turned out that all of them were full of private pockets.
"Of course, if my brother and sister look down on that girl, I won't mention this matter." Seeing that the old lady had closed the account book, Li replied to Zhang.
It's not that there is no money to marry, it's that the Zhang family doesn't want to marry An Xinyou like that.
The old lady snorted coldly, the Zhang family has never even seen other girls' homes, so why can't they look down on it?
If you push back here, you won't be able to see your grandson!
"Hand over the key to the storeroom." The old lady is simply different from Zhang's nonsense.
"Mother." Zhang, who was still angry, was full of anger and deafening at this moment, "This account book is just my sister-in-law's imagination, how can I count it?" ”
"If you can do the number, just check it." The old lady lazily answered.
The kung fu of the words has already made Mama Zhu stretch out her hand.
Looking at Mama Zhu's outstretched palm, Zhang hurriedly kicked the second master An next to her, "Second master, I have been a cow and a horse for my family all these years, and I have no credit and hard work. ”
When Second Master An heard this, he immediately stood up, "Mother, it's all a family, why make such an ugly fuss." ”
"What the second master said makes sense." When Li heard this, he immediately laughed.
It's for the old lady, whether the second room loves to marry or not, they don't want to, and they just don't need the Li family to run for An Xinyou again, to put it bluntly, just go on the surface.
"I'm still alive, it's not her turn to call the shots in this family!" The old lady immediately stated her position, and then glanced at Second Master An fiercely, "Look at your nest, you have been pinched to death by a woman all day long." ”
There is no man who is not touched by hearing his mother say this about himself.
Second Master An was stabbed by the old lady, and sat down with a pale face, "Mother." He complained dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say anything else.
Zhang's second master was speechless when he saw it, and he was a little anxious at the moment, "You are a fool, but you were blinded by which little fox outside?" Still is? Zhang then looked at Li.
As soon as the old lady saw Zhang's expression, she knew what she was thinking now.
Then let Mama Li block Zhang's mouth, since she didn't want to hand over the key, then use the strong one.
When Second Master An first got married, he had a better time with the Zhang family, especially when calculating the things in the big house, the two of them were embarrassed.
But now it's different, the big house is an An Hongshao girl's family, and after getting married, it should be splashed with water, and it can't get any of the things of the An family, so An Erye doesn't care about these things at all.
