Chapter 18: Audits

Mama Yuan just smiled and didn't make a sound, and said that the eldest lady hadn't changed, and people just didn't want to be wronged, but she couldn't say this.

Ning Ruyan was not fast when she left, so she naturally heard Huo's complaint, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and then sped up and left Shoukang Hospital.

In the Wutong Courtyard, Li Ledger had already sent the account books with someone, because Ning Ruyan was not there, he didn't dare to leave, so he waited in the foyer.

"It's hard work." Ning Ruyan glanced at a large box of ledgers on the ground, reached out and picked up the top one and looked through it, "However, are you sure that's all?" ”

Li Shufang's heart was raised, but he still pulled the corners of his mouth: "Big lady, these are indeed the account books of the past six months, and they are all remembered clearly." ”

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Then stay, I'll let someone notify you to come and pick it up after I've finished reading." ”

Li answered, and then said goodbye and left.

Ning Ruyan couldn't help but shake his head, the management in the general's mansion was really chaotic, there were so many account books, there was no directory or even a note written by the two parties after checking in person, if you want to do something, it is too simple.

"Miss, do you want to see it now?"

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Bring it to the study, you two come in with me to watch it together." ”

At noon, He personally delivered the meal to the main house, and then Xiang's mother and daughter, who were still in the sewing room, sat in the hall to do needlework, of course, the most important thing was to guard the door.

"Miss, what are we going to investigate?" Bai Zhi looked at the account book and couldn't help asking, "If you look at the income and expenditure, it is reasonable." ”

"It's about finding the unreasonable, such as...... There are no unprovoked spending. Ning Ruyan said while looking at it, "For example, it's not spent in the house, it's for relatives or side branches." ”

In his previous life, Jiang Bonian said that he was rescued by Lian Susu after he was injured, and then he fell in love, and this statement was nothing originally, but various circumstances show that things are not so simple at all.

The imperial court's mansion newspaper said that Jiang Bonian had an accident two months ago, and now it is mid-February, that is, in the middle of last year, he fell into the water after being injured and unconscious, and was rescued by Lian Susu after drifting down the river, and then the two fell in love at first sight.

It will take a month to recover from the injury, even if the physique is good and the recovery is fast, it will take ten days and half a month, and then it will be the end of the month, and then even if the two of them fall asleep immediately, and if they sleep once, the birth time of the child should be around the end of October.

However, in the previous life, when the Huo family hugged Jiang Changqing to her at the end of the year, it had been more than three months, and the child was quite strong, not like a premature baby at all.

It takes time to investigate the perilla mulberry leaves, so she will check it from the inside.

"Miss, there is an expenditure here, which was available in August and September last year." Banxia handed over the account book in his hand, "It's the expenditure of Shoukang Yuan to buy spices, and it's fifty taels of silver every month." ”

"Questions?" Ning Ruyu took it and took a look.

"Fifty taels of silver spices is no problem, the problem is that there are two consecutive months of this expenditure, but I don't know if there are other months, fifty taels of silver spices a month, how extravagant is that? It's not used like this in the palace, is it? Banxia pouted, "Moreover, every time I go to Shoukang Temple, I order ordinary benzoin, even if I use more, five taels of silver is enough." ”

"Then find out if there are other months that have this expense." Ning Ruyan's eyes shrank slightly, if as expected, there should be this expenditure every month.

As expected, there was indeed an expenditure every month, and in October of last year, the amount of silver was increased to one hundred taels, and then in November, it was reduced to eighty taels, and it continued until last month.

Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, then leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes, sure enough, Jiang Bonian and Lian Susu had been together for a long time, and she didn't know what happened in the battle of Antongguan, but she knew that Jiang Bonian came to the golden cicada through this battle.

That's smart.

It's just that if this cleverness is used in the official career, why will the General's Mansion be defeated?

Bai Zhi and Banxia glanced at each other, although they didn't know what was going on, but they knew that the eldest lady was very sad now, and what they could do as girls was to accompany them.

Ning Ruyan was also sad for a moment, and then opened her eyes: "Pack up the account book and follow me to the account room." ”

Bai Zhi Banxia hurriedly got up, put the account book back into the box, and then beckoned the two mothers-in-law outside to come over and carry them to the account room.

Li was writing something, and when he saw Ning Ruyan coming, he hurriedly put it away, got up and greeted him: "Big lady, finished reading it so soon?" ”

"Yes." Ning Ruyan nodded, "I'll take a look at the account books for the first half of last year." ”

"This ......"

"What? I don't have the right to look? ”

"No, there is power, there is power." Li Shufang hurriedly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Please inside." ”

There is a treasury in the account room, and the boxes in the treasury are filled with the account books of the past years, which are basically classified in half a year, and some of the old account book boxes have fallen a layer of soil, but fortunately in the first half of last year, it is very easy to find.

Bai Zhi and Banxia quickly looked through it, and finally found that this expenditure started in February last year, and there was no one in January.

It has always been fifty taels of silver.

Ning Ruyan only felt chills, in January last year, the people from the General's Mansion went to Gusu to propose marriage, exchange Geng posts, and then started to walk the six ceremonies in February, but it turned out that at that time, Jiang Bonian had already hooked up with Lian Susu, and even got the approval of his in-laws.

So what does the Jiang family think of their Ning family? What did you think of her Ning Ruyan?

"Miss?" Bai Zhi called, "Are you okay?" ”

Ning Ruyan came back to her senses, let go of her clenched fists, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "It's okay, let's go, let's go back." ”

Li Shufang saw that Ning Ruyan was so simple to flip through, and the heart that had been hanging was put down, even if it was an immortal, just look at it so simply, and he couldn't find a loophole, so the silver he was greedy for ink should be no problem.

Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

"I said Lao Jiang, are you human?" A charming-looking man looked at the wound on Jiang Yan's abdomen, and couldn't help but change color a little, "You don't need to be numb, just sewn up as a purse?" ”
