Chapter 44 Auditing
Pei Luobai looked at her intently, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, as if he had a little affection, not like in the past, when he opened his mouth, he was scolded, or scolded, but it was changed to temptation.
Gu Nanzhi's eyes moved slightly, it could be seen that he really believed that his father would speak for him.
Her eyes were crystal clear, and she didn't see a trace of weakness, so she met his gaze so straight, and let him look at it, pretending to be surprised, "There is such a thing, although Yueniang is guilty, but she raised Brother Qian'er in the end, and the crime is not to death, and I ask the prince to find out this matter clearly, don't let Brother Qian and me have a life." ”
When she mentioned Brother Qian'er, there was a soft light on her face.
Pei Luobai's heart was a little relieved, but he didn't believe her words, and only told her to rest assured, "If you dare to hurt people in the Hou Mansion, I will definitely find out." ”
Seeing Gu Nanzhi's calm expression, he lowered his eyes, was it really not her?
On the side of Hebai Courtyard, the old lady had already ordered to go down and ask someone to clean up the courtyard as soon as possible, but she didn't expect Steward Feng to come over.
"I don't know what the old lady means, is it to clean up the courtyard, or to arrange the courtyard according to the identity of the young master?" Steward Feng asked cautiously.
The old lady glanced at him, "Naturally, according to Brother Qian'er's identity, he cleaned up the Wuyuan Courtyard, do you need to ask?" ”
Hearing this, Steward Feng looked embarrassed, "This ......"
The old lady frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Steward Feng said at this time, "Back to the old lady's words, there are less than 1,000 taels of silver left in the account......
"What did you say?" Before he finished speaking, the old lady's voice was high, and she was dignified, how could there be less than a thousand taels of silver left in the account, and it really made people laugh when they said it.
"Where did all the money go?"
Where did Steward Feng know, he said hesitantly: "All these years, Mrs. Shizi has been in charge of the feed. ”
He doesn't know! The Hou Mansion is so poor that even ordinary rich businessmen can't compare to it.
When the old lady heard this, she was immediately annoyed, and pointed to Mother Kong and said, "Go and invite Mrs. Shizi to me, I want to ask how she has been in charge of the family all these years." ”
From the time Pei Luobai said that he was going to move Brother Qian to the front yard, Gu Nanzhi waited all the time, and when she saw that Mother Kong was coming, she went to Hebai Courtyard without asking.
Finally, when it was time to settle the score, it was time for her to get back the money they owed her.
"Zhizhi, I have been in charge of your family all these years, because I trust you, I have never asked, and now you tell me, how can there be less than a thousand taels of silver left in the account?" The old lady slammed the ledger in front of Gu Nanzhi.
Gu Nanzhi glanced at it and slowly raised his eyes, "Grandmother means that I am greedy for the silver of the Hou Mansion?" ”
Pei Luobai and Zhao also rushed to hear the news.
Zhao Shi grimaced, "If that's not the case, then where did you say the money went?" ”
This time, Pei Luobai was on her side, "Zhizhi, if you embezzle the money in the account, as long as you tell the truth and make up for the embezzled silver, grandmother and mother will not blame you." ”
Xia Ling and Qiu Ci wanted to speak, but Gu Nanzhi stopped them with her eyes, she picked up the account book on the ground, brushed off the floating ash on it, and said softly: "Grandmother, please ask Mr. Accounts to come and check the accounts!" If I covet a peniard or two, I will take all my dowry to pay my debt. ”
Listening to her words, the old lady and the Zhao family's eyebrows moved, who is not greedy for ink and silver, they are sure that there is only this bit of silver left in the Hou Mansion, it must be Gu Nanzhi who has done it, even if she has a lot of dowry, but who would be afraid of more silver?
The old lady immediately called for the bookkeeper to check the accounts in front of them.
The three bookkeepers, from morning to late at night, the sound of abacus beads never stopped.
The old lady couldn't hold it anymore, so she raised her eyelids and asked, "How long do you have to check?" ”
The three bookkeepers glanced at each other, "If you go back to the old lady, there are many accounts, at least until tomorrow morning." ”
If she stayed up all night, she would not be allowed to die, so the old lady asked Gu Nanzhi to go back to rest and asked her to let her come over early tomorrow morning.
Zhao and Pei Luobai also stayed up for a day.
Out of the Hebai Courtyard, Pei Luobai quickly caught up with Gu Nanzhi, "Zhizhi, it's still too late, as long as you name a number, I will fill it for you." ”
"The prince is so sure that I embezzled the money of the Hou Mansion?" Leaving this sentence, Gu Nanzhi drifted away.
Clouds accumulated under Pei Luobai's eyes, if it weren't for her, would she still be useful, would you think he would be willing to take care of these idle things?
The next day, when Gu Nanzhi came, the old lady hadn't gotten up yet, she waited for a long time before the old lady had breakfast.
Her move was tantamount to a void in the eyes of the old lady, and the old lady became more and more determined, she embezzled the money from the Hou Mansion.
Pei Luobai and Zhao came in a hurry, they just came, and the three bookkeepers put away the abacus in their hands and stayed up for a day and a night, and the three of them had haggard faces on their faces.
The old lady slapped the table, "Say, how much silver did Mrs. Shizi embezzle from the Hou Mansion?" ”
As soon as she said this, the three account gentlemen were all stunned, and the expressions on their faces were extremely complicated, where did she start, when did Mrs. Shizi embezzle the money of the Hou Mansion?
Gu Nanzhi pursed his lips and smiled.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, the old lady sneered, "Have you forgotten who is in charge of the house now!" ”
The head of the account man, took a deep breath, and arched his hand: "Back to the old lady's words......"
