Chapter 46: Sending the Ledger
The Jiang family's mansion, the main courtyard study.
Mrs. Jiang was sorting out the accounts, her brows were tightly locked, her subordinates flipped through a few pages of the account book, and she was so angry that she threw away the pen in her hand directly.
"Don't be angry, madam, let's have a cup of tea!" Mother Qin brought a cup of tea, picked up the fan on the side and shook it gently, "You are not in a hurry to check the accounts, you haven't taken a nap at noon, why don't you help the slave to help you rest for a while?" ”
Mrs. Jiang took the teacup and drank the tea soup in one gulp, her face still angry: "What a rest!" This account is a mess, if I don't sort it out quickly, I guess I don't even know if my home has been emptied! ”
While speaking, Mrs. Jiang pointed to an account and said, "Look at it, just buy fruits, this month's silver used is more than half of last month!" How did I not know that our house consumes so much?! ”
Mrs. Jiang flipped through the account books with a loud noise, pointed to one place and said, "And this mason, our house is good everywhere, when did you invite the mason?" ”
These are all small amounts of money on their own, but together they are incredible, nearly two hundred taels!
If it was before, Mrs. Jiang would definitely not be angry because of this, but in order to send Jiang Fuyao into the Hou Mansion, she just gave out a lot of silver, and now Jiang Fuyao stays in the Hou Mansion, and she has to spend thirty taels a day just for dinner!
Mrs. Jiang was so upset that she simply closed the account book and threw it aside.
Mother Qin dared to speak, so she had to bring another cup of tea: "Madam, you dissipate your anger, the subordinates are not doing things well, let's find a reason, change the person, or your body is the most important!" ”
"You know what? Those miscellaneous subordinates will be changed when they are changed, but how can the steward say that they will move? ”
Mrs. Jiang rubbed her eyebrows: "If I had known, I wouldn't have changed the person in front of me!" ”
At the beginning, when she first took over the backyard of the Jiang family, she directly withdrew all the people of the first lady without saying a word and replaced them with her own people.
At the beginning, those people acted according to the old routine left by Mrs. Xian, but nothing went wrong, and she felt more and more that housekeeping was not a difficult task, but it was just a matter of turning over the account books when the time came every month, and she also felt more and more that Mrs. Xian had to personally order the precepts every day was a superfluous move.
But in just two years, the money in the house has obviously been spent more and more, although she also found a lot of things wrong when she calculated the accounts, but I heard that when Mrs. Xian dealt with family affairs, she would always put some benefits to the people below, so she thought that these were normal, so she didn't care much.
Until now, this benefit is more and more, and it is out of control.
Mother Qin pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, so she had to keep her mouth shut and get up to massage Mrs. Jiang.
Her hand landed on Mrs. Jiang's temple, and the weight of the rubbing was moderate, and Mrs. Jiang's brows gradually relaxed.
“…… That's it, fortunately, there is still Xiuyunfang to support it," Mrs. Jiang said, "Although the income is much lower than before, it is also better than other shops." ”
After all, it is a shop on Golden Street, even if it can only sell three or five pieces of clothing a month, it is enough to fill the hole at this end.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
Mrs. Jiang's face finally relaxed: "If it really doesn't work, let's close the embroidery cloud shop and rent out the shop, anyway, the shops on Jin Street are very expensive, don't worry about no one wanting it!" ”
When the time comes, it will be more profitable than opening an embroidery cloud workshop!
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's face finally looked good, Mother Qin also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled and said, "What Mrs. said is extremely true!" ”
Mrs. Jiang smiled, completely relaxed, and concentrated on enjoying Mother Qin's massage.
The room was suddenly quiet, except for a very soft rustling sound when the breeze blew through the beaded curtains.
Just when Mrs. Jiang was so comfortable that she was drowsy, the female envoy on the second door suddenly ran in, and she didn't see that Mrs. Jiang was closing her eyes to recuperate, and directly pulled her throat and said, "Madam, it's not good!" The sting is back, and with one, a villain! ”
Mrs. Jiang was disturbed, and she suddenly became irritable, and her brows tightened when she had just unfolded.
Mother Qin on the side hurriedly reprimanded: "It's just a subordinate, what kind of system are you flustered!" Didn't you see Madame resting, tell her to wait! ”
"Madame forgive me, the slave and maid still have something to do in a while, I can't wait." A clear voice sounded, and then, Shocking walked in with a stack of ledgers.
She walked to the hall, bowed her knees according to the rules, and put the account book in her hand on the ground with her own care, and said loudly: "This is all the account books stored in Xiuyun Fang, our girl told me to send it over, and by the way, tell Mrs. that the shop on Jin Street, Mrs. doesn't have to bother, in the future, my girl will take care of it." ”
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Jiang's drowsiness woke up suddenly, she slapped the table and scolded angrily, "What kind of thing is she, that shop is our Jiang family!" Where's her turn?! ”
"Madame said yes," said lightly, "If Madame is not convinced, you can go to the court to confront each other, ask the yamen to transfer the documents out, and we will all see whose name is on the shop!" ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang's face became even more ugly.
She almost forgot that although this shop has always been managed by her, the shop is a red deed, and in the archives of the government, Jiang Fuyue's name is written.
But it's been three years, Jiang Fuyue seems to have forgotten about this shop, it's so good, why did she suddenly remember it again?
Mrs. Jiang coughed, waved her hand and said, "Recently, the Jiang family has been short of money and can't turn around, you go back and talk to your girl, and then later, I will give her the shop later." ”
"Dare to ask Madame, now that the Jiang family is short of money, does it have anything to do with my girl?" Shocked and tough, "In short, I have already sent the account book, presumably the shopkeeper should come in a while, no matter what Mrs. says, even if it goes to court, this shop has nothing to do with your Jiang family." ”
She didn't come to discuss with Mrs. Jiang, so naturally she didn't have to bother with anything.
So, he didn't look at Mrs. Jiang's murderous eyes, blessed himself, and turned away.
As soon as she left the door, there was a sound of porcelain breaking behind her.
The stunned hooked his lips happily, and his steps were much lighter.
"Slut!" Mrs. Jiang dropped the teacup, still feeling angry, she stared at the back of the sting, as if she was going to cut the sting with a thousand knives.
"Madam, we don't have a shop, this, how is this good!" Even Qin's mother was in a hurry.
Mrs. Jiang calmed down, she stared at the stack of ledgers on the ground and thought for a moment, and said, "Send someone to guard the door of the shop, and see what Jiang Fuyue is going to do first, if she also wants to do business, find a way to stir her up!" ”
She can't use that shop, and Jiang Fuyue doesn't want to use it smoothly!
