Chapter 37: The Widow King Has Been Idle Lately

Yan Mu'an was pleasantly surprised.

In the past, every winter I said that I wanted to see the ice sculptures, and every year I said, I didn't go to it once, and suddenly my dream came true, even if it was just a small ice sculpture Guanyin.

An old man hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, "Back to the girl, it was made by the old slave, the old slave couldn't grab the snow with his hands and feet, and saw that the water in the stone tank in the yard was frozen, so he carved this Ice Guanyin, but the ice is not enough, if there is another ice lotus platform, it will be better." ”

Guanyin carving's kind eyebrows and kind eyes are very peaceful, Yan Mu'an Tsai looked at it carefully, raised his eyes, "Where are you on an errand on weekdays?" ”

"The old slave is doing carpentry work in the house."

Craftsman!

Yan Mu'an smiled and nodded, "Not bad, reward." ”

Caihe sent one or two pieces of silver, the old man smiled and saw his eyebrows, and the barrage on the heads of the people around him suddenly flew away, some people were envious, some people were annoyed, and some wanted the old man to have a treat to eat and drink.

Yan Mu'an continued to look at the other snow dolls, "Who built this goose with a garland?" “

A big goose with a flock of small geese, the big goose has a circle of plum blossoms around its neck, which is quite delicate.

The three girls stepped forward with a smile and said that they had made it together, "The plum blossoms were picked up in the plum garden." ”

"Yes, reward."

A few girls smiled and thanked her, and their winter rouge money popped up on their heads.

Gao Feifei, who was watching the snow doll together, was still talking about the ice sculpture, and asked the old carpenter to help the general's mansion carve one, "Just carve a horse, it must be beautiful." ”

An idea rose in Yan Mu'an's heart, although she is not bad for money, but she didn't earn it, can she earn money here?

It should be nice to have an ice sculpture city, right?

For the New Year, add some New Year's flavor to the Beijing New Year.

At the same time, in the Heng Pass number, Yan Mude was taking someone to count the silver prepared by the shopkeeper Liu, he had already read the account book before coming, and suddenly asked, "How much silver does the county lord's mansion add here in a year?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu sent the account and said: "This is the silver money that the county lord's mansion has come to trust every year over the years, before and after eight years, there will be a sum of silver entrusted at the end of each year, but it has only been withdrawn once, and it has been withdrawn 500,000 taels at the beginning of last year." ”

Yan Mude looked through the account book carefully, his brows became more and more frowned, Yan Huaiqing took two steps forward, "Something?" ”

Yan Huailin bowed his hand to the shopkeeper Liu, and the shopkeeper hurriedly retreated, Yan Mude immediately said: "The family property left by my aunt and uncle to my sister should be a huge amount, and you can know it by looking at the silver entrusted in the first year, but after so many years, although the silver is deposited every year, the amount change is not particularly large, and it is too stable." ”

"You see, in the first year, it was five million taels, which should be the cash of the county lord's mansion, and from the second year onwards, it was the income generated by those grange shops, one million two thousand taels, and then there was not so much, it became less and less, and then it remained between an amount."

Yan Huailin took the account book and flipped through the two pages, and the people who have been dealing with the account books for many years quickly noticed that there was something unusual in it, and anger gradually appeared in his eyes, "This is looking at Xiao An's young age and trusting these old people, and joining forces to fool her!" ”

The lord of Xianhuaixiang is the daughter of the Yan family, and she is a son-in-law, it stands to reason that Yan Mu'an was still young when she died, and her family wealth should be managed by someone in the Yan clan.

But before the death of the lord of Huaixiang County, she had already made preparations, and said that she would give all the family property to her only heir, and only gave a part of it to the Hui clan, hoping that the people in the clan could help take care of Yan Mu'an.

The people in the Yan clan don't have much opinion on this, if the Yan clan doesn't have the lord of Huaixiang and doesn't have the prosperous scene now, the old patriarch said that he should be content, and told the people below not to fight a girl's idea.

In addition, the old people left by the county lord of Huaixiang were also wary of their clansmen, and Xiao An was not very close to them, so they had not come to the capital too much over the years, let alone asked about the property of the county lord's mansion.

"Not to mention Xiao An with such a big family business, even if the ordinary family is in charge, it can't be said that there are no problems at all, but I don't know how much property Xiao An has and how many problems there are."

Yan Mude said that the stewards of the county lord's mansion would come to pay the account soon, "When the time comes, I will tell Xiao An to see if she is willing to let us participate in it." ”

Yan Huailin felt that it was very necessary, and admonished, "We are not greedy for Xiao An's family business, but we can't always know that we don't say anything about the problem, but we must also try to be tactful, now Xiao An is finally willing to get close to us, this New Year is also an opportunity for us, don't take it seriously, take your time." ”

Yan Mude nodded solemnly, "I know how to do it." ”

The three of them went out in the morning, and the silver was carried back to the county lord's mansion in the evening, and they didn't stay long after returning to the house, but they were directly carried into the silver treasury after someone passed the word to Yan Mu'an, and the boxes were neatly arranged.

"How much is here?"

Yan Mu'an tried his best to keep himself calm, thinking that he had seen the world, but he couldn't help but be excited when he saw so much silver, rich, too rich.

Yan Mude handed her the account book, took it and glanced at it, frowning slightly, isn't this embarrassing for her?

returned the account book to Yan Mude, "Cousin just tell me the number, I am very relieved of the accounts you have seen." ”

Yan Mude: [Xiao An actually trusts me so much! 】

"A total of eight million five hundred and thirty-six thousand taels, which is half, more than four million taels."

Yan Mu'an.......

The stupid eldest sister is crazy and upside down, and she really has confidence.

Seeing that her eyes were shining when she saw the silver, Yan Mude kept tangle in her heart, [Aunt and uncle left too much family wealth, Xiao An is not good at taking care of it, otherwise there shouldn't be only that. 】

[How can I tell Xiao An that her steward should have touched her silver?] 】

[Xiao An's expression tells me that she is already very satisfied, hey~]

Yan Mu'an......

She had a guess that a woman who controlled such a large family business relied on the help of the stewards below, unless those stewards were saints, how many people could find a little selfishness when they handled so much silver every day?

The so-called clear water is no fish, which can be understood within a certain range, but how much are those stewards greedy?

"Today's hard cousin, hard uncle and second uncle, I have asked people to prepare hot water meals, let's go and rest first."

Yan Huailin was calmer than Yan Mude, and nodded with a smile, "It's okay, all this silver has been put into the warehouse, this silver warehouse is very well built, the gate is also strong, and the three locks on the three doors are made by skilled craftsmen, as long as the key is kept properly, it should be fine." ”

The vaults of the high-ranking families are all painstakingly built, and there is no way for the thieves to touch them before they get close, unless they steal the key, or like General Maverick, there is a capable person who can open this kind of lock.

Yan Mu'an took the lead and walked out, as soon as the cold wind blew, he was awake, and when he returned to the house, Yongchang had already come and was eating snacks.

[This widow king has been very idle recently, and the emperor is assassinated, isn't he busy? ] 】
