51. Shen Qingluan makes fake accounts!
"Who are you, how dare you peep into the internal affairs of the Jun family!"
The thunderous sound scared Jun Qian into a thrill!
She snapped the ledger shut, turned around suddenly, and saw Lu Liqin standing behind her for some time, leaning her neck to look at her hand.
Jun Qian was shocked in her heart, and then she was unspeakably ashamed.
"Miss Lu, I respect you as an elder, but you should also know some measure!"
Lu Liqin withdrew her eyes indifferently, sat back on the stool, and said charmingly:
"I naturally know that you let me stay here like this, don't you just think of me as your own person, intimate and intimate."
Du Mianmian, who was about to enter the main hall, suddenly had a loud alarm bell!
"What a big breath, my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is a serious noble marquis, how can you allow a poor sour to come to your relatives!"
Lu Liqin's face froze, and she felt annoyed in her heart.
The poverty of her family is an unspeakable sore spot in her heart, and as a woman, Du Mianmian's bright dress greatly aroused her jealousy.
But he refused to admit defeat, "Okay, well, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion humiliated me so much, which shows what kind of life my aunt is living in the mansion!"
I won't kiss you either, so I'll go back to my hometown now and ask the patriarch to administer justice for me!" ”
Aunt?
Du Mianmian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Fang Cai Junqian shouted "Miss Lu".
As the daughter of a merchant, Du Mianmian is used to camping, and it will hardly take much effort to understand the identity of this person.
scolded secretly in her heart, Jun Qian, this idiot, the old lady's family who came to the house did not say anything about the introduction and hospitality, but made her lose her ugliness.
Looking at Lu Liqin's head held high, he complained bitterly.
Jun Hongbai's filial piety and thoughtfulness to the Lu family are known all over the house, and now that the Lu family is only slightly unwell, Jun Hongbai will serve him meticulously, and even they are not allowed to disturb him.
If he knew that he had collided with the girl of the Lu family......
Du Mianmian's scalp was numb for a while, and he held his palm hard and forced a smile and said:
"It turned out to be a girl from the Lu family, Li Huisheng, why didn't you report when the distinguished guest came to the house, but I said the wrong thing!"
Her eyes flashed sharply at Li Huisheng.
If Li Huisheng is an acquaintance, he should come forward to ask for guilt, so that she can come down to the stage.
However, Li Huisheng has been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and he will not be kicked in the face by a concubine.
When he flicked his sleeves, "The distinguished guests in the house have their own masters, and Aunt Du is just a slave, so she needs to report it!" ”
Du Mianmian was angry and fell down!
"You, you, you......"
Her nails trembled and pointed at Li Huisheng's nose, wanting to scold, but she couldn't hold back.
In vain, she always thought that Shen Qingluan was not easy to deal with, and when she met Li Huisheng, she realized that Shen Qingluan was already extremely elegant and graceful.
It seems that such an old slave who can't be touched or moved, but is firmly rooted, really makes her bitter and unspeakable.
Seeing that Du Mianmian was deflated, Jun Qian glared at Li Huisheng and stepped forward to relieve the siege:
"It's just a misunderstanding, the affairs in the house have been complicated recently, and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the busyness, so Miss Lu should not worry about my aunt."
When she said this, a strange feeling flashed in her heart.
In the past, when Shen Qingluan took care of the Hou Mansion, there had never been such chaos.
The thought was only a flash before she quickly suppressed it.
No matter how good Shen Qingluan is, it is an indisputable fact that she embezzled the money of the public to supplement the Shen family.
Lu Liqin is here, just enough to use her mouth to stab this ugly thing in front of the old lady.
Thinking of Shen Qingluan's embarrassing and ugly state of the incident in the east window, a trace of happiness flashed in Jun Qian's heart.
She brought the matter over, hurriedly handed the account book to Du Mianmian, and motioned for her to take a closer look.
"I didn't know that I didn't care about my family before, but the public middle school of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was actually losing money year after year.
How is this possible, my father has a lot of money, and the people in the Hou Mansion are thin, so I have to ask my aunt to find out what is going on. ”
Du Mianmian's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to reach out and take the account book.
Deficit?
The middle feed of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is in the hands of Shen Qingluan all the year round, if there is a deficit, which one else can be the ghost?
Not to mention that the two of them are aunts and nephews, the thoughts in their hearts are exactly the same, and they just hate to treat Shen Qingluan as the target they are standing on, and rack their brains to make a mistake on her.
Sure enough, Du Mianmian's fingers swiped over line after line of handwriting, and the more he looked at it, the higher the corners of his mouth raised.
"Shen Qingluan, a slut, is so blatantly making fake accounts!"
Jun Qian also looked excited and complicated.
It's one thing to guess, but it's another thing to really find evidence that Shen Qingluan is full of selfishness.
It's like the peace of mind that the dust has settled, and it's like an unexpected weirdness.
Du Mianmian didn't know what she was thinking, and read the words on the account book with mockery: "Ten years of Funing, it costs three hundred taels to buy a horse of floating glory, and this fake account is too ridiculous!" ”
She raised her account book, "The best cloth on the market is the finch yarn woven by my Du family, and the most expensive is only thirty taels and one horses, Shen Qingluan actually made up something worth three hundred taels of floating brocade out of nowhere!"
What's even more ridiculous is that her account says that she only bought one! Ridiculous, stupid!
One piece of fabric is not enough to make a piece of clothing, as the mother of the Hou Mansion, if she wants to buy cloth, she should also buy three or four horses for the people in the mansion to tailor together! It's just a matter of fooling others with this fake account, fooling me Du Mianmian, whimsical! ”
With her beaming words, everyone in the room had different faces.
Li Huisheng looked at her with a foolish look, three points of pity, three points of disdain, and three points of disgust.
Du Mianmian was carried away by the thrill of imminent victory, so naturally he didn't go to see them, and of course, he missed Jun Qian's look.
She didn't notice that as soon as the words of Fuguangcai brocade came out, the happiness on Jun Qian's face faded like a tide, and instead changed to apprehension, doubt, incomprehension, and disbelief.
Yes, a piece of cloth is not enough for an adult woman to cut a piece of clothing, how can an ordinary housewife buy a piece of cloth.
But if so, what about the cloth being bought for an eight-year-old girl?
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would not make such a conjecture.
Buying a piece of cloth for three hundred taels for an eight-year-old girl who didn't have to go to a banquet was too extravagant, and even the richest and richest people had to think about it.
But there are people who don't have to look ahead and backward and don't hesitate to spend money on an eight-year-old girl......
Over there, Du Mianmian was still flipping through the account book backwards, and the more she flipped it, the higher the corners of her mouth rose.
"Hah! Look, four hundred taels of smoke pine ink and one hundred taels of jade shaft cloud paper still have to be bought three or four times a month, which is really rampant! ”
Du Mianmian slapped her palm on the account book, and looked at Jun Qian with fiery eyes, "My Du family's most expensive Yunxiang paper can buy three hundred pieces of silver for ten taels of silver, which is enough for a scholar to write for a month."
Shen Qingluan's account is so funny that even a ten-year-old child can see the problem. She is so bold that she is so blatantly making false accounts and embezzling the money of the Hou Mansion! ”
Du Mianmian stepped forward and pulled Jun Qian's arm, "Quick, take this account and follow me to the uncle, I will definitely ruin Shen Qingluan's reputation!" ”
"Auntie, don't be impatient." Jun Qian's face was not very good-looking, and she stopped talking and stopped, "There may be some misunderstanding." ”
"What can be a misunderstanding!"
Du Mianmian's eyes glared at a fierce light, "Look at it yourself, what else are the high-grade blood swallows and Nanshan ice jade, and the cost is hundreds of taels, if according to the number in this account book, the Hou Mansion should not make ends meet every month, then has Shen Qingluan mentioned it to the uncle?"
Surely not! That's because she doesn't know how to do accounts at all, so there are many mistakes and omissions, which is naked evidence of crime! Uncle knew the ugly thing she did at a glance! ”
Jun Qian looked along her bright red nails to the black handwriting.
The past is vivid.
Du Mianmian said that these were fake accounts, but only Jun Qian, who grew up in the Yuanhou Mansion in this town, knew that these expenses were not fraudulent.
She remembered her eighth birthday, her eyes were red at Chen Fang's clothes, and she hid behind the rockery alone to wipe her tears and refused to go out to meet guests.
At that time, my father and the old lady only said that she was arrogant and vain, and it was a warm hand that brushed away her tears, saying:
"It is the nature of women to love beauty, Qian'er is straightforward and innocent, naturally she will not hide what she thinks in her heart, but she also refuses to embarrass her elders, so she hides here alone and is sad.
It was my fault, as a mother, I should have given the best things to Qian'er. ”
The voice was cheerful and Tai, as if it had lifted the blue sky above her head.
Maybe it's been too long, so long that she forgets the surging gratitude at that time.
Until this moment, memories are flooding back.
There is also the Nanshan Ice Jade, but Brother Yuan'er can't sleep peacefully at night, Shen Qingluan flipped through the ancient books, and tried his best to find the Nanshan Ice Jade to let his younger brother sleep peacefully.
She was wrong.
This account book is not Shen Qingluan's crime as she thought it was, but a record of Shen Qingluan's hard work and love for the Jun family.
There had ever been someone who loved her so deeply and unrequited......
"Auntie."
Jun Qian said with difficulty, "This matter ......"
The words hit the tip of her tongue several times, and she finally didn't say everything, but only said euphemistically:
"Maybe Mother...... Shen Qingluan has any troubles, it is better to wait for her to find out after she returns home. ”
Du Mianmian's eyes lit up, he glanced at her coldly, and only after a moment did he say indifferently: "Heh, it's really true that my mother doesn't have a mother."
Sister Qian is older and knows filial piety and protecting her mother, how relieved my sister who died early would know that her daughter is so sensible now. ”
Jun Qian's face turned pale suddenly.
In the past, she always took her deceased mother to behave in front of Jun Hongbai, but when she mentioned her mother and father, she would do everything.
Now that it was her turn, she saw her aunt pinching her mother and forcing her to back down, and she realized the difficulty.
Maintain her adoptive mother and forget her kindness, this hat is buttoned down, and it will be difficult for her to marry a good family in the future.
After a while, Jun Qian slowly retreated, "Aunt misunderstood, I didn't mean to defend Mrs., but I also looked at the account book just now, and what my aunt said was indeed suspicious, but it was only my aunt's words, and there was no definite evidence."
Even if my father is angry, it must be thunder and rain, and my aunt might as well take advantage of these days to find out so that everything can be settled. ”
Du Mianmian looked her up and down with hanging eyes.
thought that Jun Qian would bow down to her and coax her with just two sentences, but today I realized that she and herself are not completely of the same mind.
In that case, it's time to make another plan.
"Okay." Du Mianmian said coldly.
Jun Qian was relieved, and hurriedly said: "It's good that my aunt understands, the top priority is not to blame Shen Qingluan, but to take care of this feed, otherwise, wouldn't it make my father think that I am incompetent?" ”
She came to Du Mianmian's side, with hope in her eyes, "Now this month, there is a difference of a few hundred taels of silver in the account, and it is not as good as ...... aunt."
This attitude made Du Mianmian's eyes flash with coldness.
