Manager Bai's face froze, and then he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the princess is from the Xie family of Chen County."
After he finished speaking, Xie Fengyue raised a smile: "This account book is really complicated and makes my eyes hurt. Zhezhi, please send it to Xie's Mansion now and let my mother help me review it. She is in charge of it." Xie has been serving as a general secretary for so many years, and it won’t take long to look at the accounts of a princess like me.”
After saying that, Xie Fengyue made a show of handing the account book to Zhe Zhi.
Manager Bai was already scratching his head anxiously in his heart. Although his account book was done well, at least on the surface, there was no big problem, but it was just to fool laymen. The Xie family had so many talents, it would be a waste if they could not keep them all. The clues are coming.
There was already a war between heaven and man in his heart, and he had already begun to make calculations in his mind. This master had been in the house for so long, and he had never seen her scolding a servant. She must be a merciful master. If he admitted it, even if he wanted to make up for the money, he would not be able to make up for it. It was just to make up for the few months that the princess had entered the mansion, but if this matter were to be brought to Xie's mansion, at least he would lose this lucrative job, at worst he might not be able to save his life.
He was extremely upset at this time. He had only observed it for a few days and saw that the princess didn't care about the money and expenses of the palace, so she started to take advantage of the loopholes. Why did she suddenly get into trouble today?
Zhe Zhi had already put the account book into his arms, and Bai Rongan said hurriedly: "Princess, do you really only need to fill in half of it?"
Xie Fengyue rubbed the bowl with her fingers and hummed softly.
Bai Rongan's face softened visibly: "You have just been greedy for the monthly tribute from the royal family, which is ten ginseng plants, twelve pairs of gold and silver vessels, and eighty deer-tailed koi."
His voice became quieter and quieter, for no other reason.
The main reason is that the face of the little lady holding the account book is getting worse and worse
Zhezhi was furious: "I asked you why there are fewer and fewer koi in the lake in the girl's courtyard. It turns out it's you who are so evil-minded that you are greedy for even the small fish!"
Xie Fengyue was also speechless. She answered and asked, "How many years have you been in the mansion?"
"Three years..." Bai Rongan spoke like a mosquito.
"Then I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver a year. If you make up the fifteen thousand taels, it's over."
Bai Rongan's face suddenly turned red, like a cooked shrimp, and he said: "Didn't the princess say that only half of it should be filled?"
Xie Fengyue replied seriously: "Isn't that half of it? I didn't even ask you to make up the thirty thousand taels. In your account book, just for repairs, you are more than greedy for more than ten thousand taels. Could it be that Do you want me to send you to the clan’s mansion and tell them that my small temple cannot afford a big Buddha like yours?”
"This, this, this," he stammered for a long time, unable to find the words to defend himself.
Xie Fengyue glanced at him: "After all, you are a person sent by the royal family. It's hard for me to kill you. Besides, I didn't live in this mansion before. This time I'm just giving you a small punishment and a big warning to warn you. If you still There will be a next time.”
She smiled gently: "If there is a next time, I, the princess, will kill a few unruly slaves and no one will comment."
Seeing Bai Rongan's face turn from red to white, Xie Fengyue tapped yesterday three times and continued: "You have three days to collect the banknotes."
After Bai Rongan stumbled away.
Xie Fengyue hurriedly explained that the main reason was that the girls had all come over, and everyone looked like a curious baby.
"He has been in this mansion for a long time, and the servants are used to hearing from him. If he changes it rashly, the mansion will be in chaos for a few days. What's more, who of you dares to guarantee that the people sent by the clan mansion next time will be Would it be better than this? ”
Seeing their adoring looks, Xie Fengyue felt that there was a long way to go. Why was it that the maids around the other girls knew astronomy and geography, while the maids around her were as clueless as the other girls?
"Hey" she sighed heavily.
"Lady, why don't we find a manager? Now that you've bitten off such a large piece of meat from him, aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge?" After Zhezhi asked, he saw Chunhan's hesitant look. , suddenly touched his mouth at a loss. "The stewards of the royal family's mansions are all assigned by the clan's mansion." Chun Han slowly explained the reason clearly.
Zhezhi pinched his mouth in embarrassment.
As soon as this matter came to an end, she began to take a closer look at her expenses in the past few months since she came to the house, from kitchen purchases to house expansion and renovations, everything was calculated.
It’s not that she didn’t know, but it could be said that she was shocked.
Why would this sect reward such a nominal princess with so many good things? The gilt and jade screens alone cost several a month, and even the flowers that filled the garden were rewarded by the truckload. Come down.
"Zhezhi, now take the guards to the warehouse to take inventory and see what is left. If you encounter anything that has been registered, write it down."
She regrets now that she only asked Bai Rongan to pay back half of the money.
On Bai Rongan's side, as soon as he got away, he hurried to East Street and finally stopped at the back door of Rongan's house. After observing around for a while, he cautiously knocked on the three doors and one door. Short code.
In the study room of Uncle Rong'an's house, Wei Ning was writing furiously when he suddenly heard the announcement, and a look of rage flashed in his eyes.
As soon as Bai Rongan entered the door, he begged for mercy: "Uncle, please help me. Princess Yongning gives me three days to come up with fifteen thousand silver notes. With so much silver, I can't afford to pay back even if I sell the small slices and weigh them in two." Ah.”
Weining supported his face with one hand and tapped the table. His eyebrows were downcast, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. However, from the displeasure in his voice, you could still tell a bit about his current mood: "She has never cared about household affairs. How did you let her find out?”
Bai Rongan himself was also confused as a monk. He was eating iced drinks and listening to a ditty in the princess's mansion when he was suddenly told. He told the truth: "I don't even know the reason."
"How much money is left for the repairs that Concubine Lan Shu ordered to allocate last time? Wei Ning raised her eyes and asked him.
Bai Rongan stammered, speaking word by word: "No, no... yes."
When Wei Ning heard this, he took a deep breath and stopped tapping his hand on the table. After he threw a piece of jade at Bai Rong, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Go to Huiji Bank to get it. There is no next time for you. .”
Bai Rongan felt like he was being pardoned. After picking up the jade, he nodded and bowed and apologized repeatedly.
After he left, Wei Ning asked the people next to him: "Don't recruit such stupid people in the future. They can't even deceive my innocent sister. What's the use of using her."
Yan'an made a gesture of wiping his neck and asked: "Do you need to take action?"
Wei Ning sneered: "Kill him. During those days when the princess's mansion is in chaos, will you go and be the housekeeper for the lady?"
Yan'an shrank his neck angrily.
"Where is the Crown Prince of Wu?" Wei Ning asked, changing the subject.
"We should be able to arrive in Shengjing tomorrow."
