Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 27 Invoice
Zhao San picked out a decent dried sweet potato early on, wrapped it in oil paper, trotted forward and handed it to Yunzhu who was sitting on the side of the car, "Take it back and make a snack, don't worry, your brother-in-law said that you will share [-]% of the profit, I will help you look after it!"

Yunzhu laughed at her while acquiescing, don't let people know that your elbow is turned outward, and then told her that there were two taels of silver and a bag of sugar on the kang, be careful not to lose it, and take care of yourself.

When Zhao San heard Yinzi, he wanted to pull her out of the carriage in a hurry, his face was filled with the embarrassment of his younger sister spending money to support himself, he turned around and called Liu Ping to quickly take out the things on the kang, and stepped forward to hold the carriage to prevent the officials from getting up.

Because he was worried that the neighbors would be sensitive to money, he lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? I don't have a place to spend money now. You need money to be there. There is a saying that the king of Hades is easy to deal with, and the little devil is hard to deal with. Don't be stingy with the money you should spend. Come down! I'll take it back for you!"

Yunzhu didn't want to argue with her any more, so she winked at Duoguan, clasped Zhao San's arm and pushed, and said loudly, "No need to send it off, just go back!"

Zhao San was lame and thin, how could he be as strong as Yun Zhu, who had been full for more than a year?Pushing this, seeing the carriage moving, she didn't dare to chase after it. After a while, Liu Ping came out with a red paper bag and caught up with Zhao San, who was out of breath. The husband and wife only saw the tail of the carriage.

"Tell you to hurry up! Tell you to hurry up!" Zhao San looked at the red paper bag and the broken piece of silver on the seal, and patted Liu Ping's shoulder with his hand. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and after a while, he began to cry on the side of the road, crying hoarsely: "She's only seven years old!"

I completely forgot that I was only 13 years old.

Seeing the car going away, and the neighbors looking over their shoulders, Liu Ping greeted him helplessly, and hurriedly dragged Zhao San into the yard. The husband and wife sat opposite each other for a while, and Zhao San stopped crying.

Liu Ping hit the iron while the iron was hot, wishing to swear to God, hugging and persuading: "My aunt seems to be a successful one. I saw the silver just now and wanted to pay her back. Although we are poor, it is not time to beat my sister Qiufeng. But you have also heard from Liu'er that soldiers are expensive and fast. We want to take down the market as soon as possible. We are short of money!

I assure you!Even if I save two taels of silver, I will pay her back double in the coming year!Don't cry, okay?Turning around, the dog next door should laugh at you..."

Yunzhu, who had just paid two liang of silver boldly, was in pain in the carriage at the moment. Hearing Liu Ping's [-]% profit for the shares at first, he couldn't help becoming an angel investor for a while, and now he calmed down and started to think.

Ordinarily two taels of silver can be heard even if it is a waste of time, but doing business is a drop in the bucket. If you are really unlucky, you will not even take a chance.

In the midst of heartache, the carriage stopped, and she saw Qingwen holding a brocade box sprinkled with gold on a red background, about to get into the carriage. Qingwen had a happy face, presumably the purchase of ink went very smoothly.The interior of the carriage was much wider than when it was out. Yunzhu took the brocade box, and saw Qingwen handing over an oiled paper package.

"Here, pine nut candy, specially reserved for you." Handed over the brocade box and sugar bag, then turned around and told the officials, "Wait a while, Zhuzhu just went back to pick up the things, and I'll be here soon."

"It's really fragrant!" Yunzhu smelled the fragrance and forgot the two taels of silver for a short time.

She raised her hand and took the pine nut candy without any hesitation. Qingwen is not the one who is short of money. She has enough money a month, which is more than twice as much as her own. Based on the friendship between the two, it is not too much for her to eat a few taels of pine nut candy.

Duoguan drove the carriage to a secluded place by the side of the road, and Yunzhu asked curiously after shelving her good things: "Didn't you buy ink? Why do you still have time to buy pine nuts?"

There are not many restaurants on West Street, but it is a gathering place for literati and scholars. They are all elegant shops like teahouses and bookstores. It is not easy to buy pine nut candy.

"When I was waiting for you, I went to the teahouse with your sister Pearl, and my leg was about to break! But today is weird, guess who you met?" Qingwen's appearance is extremely prosperous, and this kind of excited and charming appearance makes people's hearts flutter. Even if they are both women, Yunzhu can't help but put her eyes on her face.

"Who?" she asked awkwardly.

"You wouldn't have guessed that I met Uncle Xue today. He gave me this ink, which is 20 taels cheaper than usual! Strange, I saw Uncle Xue, who hates reading the most, in his study." Qingwen was playing with the brocade box in her hand, and said cracklingly in her mouth, which made Yunzhu suspicious.

The mansion has a dedicated staff for purchasing, and the little girl is almost always buying novelties that are not available in the mansion. For example, the Laoshizi is limited to Hui ink, and the hunger marketing is done on the head of the young master of the Duke's mansion. It can be seen that there is a bigger boss standing behind Xuezhai.

"It's really a coincidence. Uncle Xue bought this ink and gave it to you?"

Hearing this, Qingwen shook her head: "How could it be? It's because Xue Zhai's ink is a friend of Mr. Xue's, so he is willing to buy it cheaply, but 20 taels of silver is not a small amount. Usually, a year's chewing is enough to buy this ink. How can Mr. Xue spend it for nothing?"

Motouer is the collective name for ink makers, Xuezhai's always strict pricing is willing to make an exception for Motouer, which shows that Motouer has a close relationship with Uncle Xue.

But Xiren has always been a worthless person. Out of natural doubts about her, Yunzhu began to connect the relationship between the characters one by one in her mind. She was worried that there would be secrets waiting for the two of them, so she thought carefully about the process from Xiren's proposal to leave the house to today.

Zhao San is just a village woman, no matter how commercially aware Liu Ping is, he is just a shopkeeper without capital, and he is still young, so he has no reason to count on her.And Pearl is the maid next to the old lady, and it doesn't matter to her, so it can only be aimed at Qingwen, who has always been at odds with her attackers.

What does she want to do?
What can she do?
"You don't have to worry about it, it's all the money of the public, and there are accounts when it comes and goes. When I go back and return the 20 taels of silver, can Xiren still find me any trouble? I'm not the shallow-skinned person who is greedy for Mo Gongzhong..." Qingwen knew that Yunzhu was on guard against Xiren.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Zhenzhu holding a fur skin, gesturing to get into the car, and muttering in her mouth: "But it's been a long time, blame me, blame me, I insist on returning the raw meat, if it's not for the hairbong in my hand, I'm afraid the boss will refuse to accept it!"

"A businessman is chasing profits. How can you tell him to spit out all his money after eating it? I said, just spend a few hundred yuan more and ask the big kitchen to make it. Why bother to buy it by yourself?" Qingwen took the bundle in Pearl's hand, turned to talk to Pearl, pulled the man into the car, patted the officials and said that she could go.

As soon as the car moved, Yunzhu immediately recalled it, and shouted: "Fafeng!"

The two people in the car were all startled, they beat her up and said she was scary.

Before she had time to say more, Yunzhu raised her head and called the officials to stop the carriage, and said to Qingwen sternly, "I just saw that there is no gift in this ink box, why not?"

The tax invoice is the ancient version of the tax invoice. It clearly records how much money was purchased and where it was purchased. Before there is no detailed instruction, the invoice is not only an ID card for the product, but also a shopping voucher. Only cheap or shady goods on the black market will not be issued.

Qingwen was taken aback, "Don't send a gift, it can be 20 taels cheaper. Now the second master is relying on the old lady to help him in private. We are servants, how can we spend so much?"

Pearl also nodded, and the master sent his servants out to buy things. If they got cheap and good goods, even though they didn't say anything, they agreed with the move in their hearts, so they followed suit and persuaded: "Yes, Yunzhu is young and doesn't know how to buy money. Qingwen's move. Even the old lady can't make a mistake."

"I can't see it, you didn't pay, who knows how much you spent when you go back? Wouldn't it be more troublesome if you don't know clearly?" After hearing the whole story, the officials couldn't help but comment a few words.

He has been running around in the outer courtyard all year round, so he naturally knows that there are some thugs who steal and play tricks to repay accounts indiscriminately, and what's more, they jointly forge distributions and take cash...

Regarding the officials' statement, Yunzhu nodded in agreement, and then analyzed in detail: "I also mean the same thing. You went out to buy ink today, and it was a job that the second master gave you casually, and you were not appointed to go out to buy. If you don't have an official document to take it back, wouldn't it be what they said? After all, you can't produce evidence, can you?"

Zhuzhu doesn't often walk around Jiangyunxuan, so she doesn't know Qingwen's festivities with Xiren, let alone understand that the word "renjia" in Yunzhu's mouth is referring to Xiren.

She sat in the car with a dazed face, looked at Yunzhu and Qingwen, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

Although I don't know the twists and turns in Jiang Yunxuan, I know that the servants are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface.Yunzhu was very cautious, so she couldn't say these things for no reason, so she put down her words and looked at Qingwen thinking.

As the sky was getting darker, there were peddlers peddling today's remnants along the street, and there were endless shouts of big discounts coming and going.Qingwen thought about it, and whispered in her mouth: "But if you want to give it away, the boss will definitely ask me to make up the rest of the money. Isn't this... a waste of money?"

Although Jia Baoyu is the young master, he is a junior after all, and he is not the heir apparent. Right now, he does not have the right to control the finances of the Duke's mansion.

It is also because of going to school now that Gongzhong raised his monthly money. The monthly money used to be only two or three taels, but now it has increased by a full eight taels for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

But the total amount is only about ten taels a month, but today I saved 20 taels of silver, which is enough to send Jia Baoyu another two months of monthly bills.It was precisely because of this that Qingwen thoughtfully wanted to save it for him.

"No, this calculation is wrong." Yunzhu shook her head, thinking about how to say it so that Qingwen could understand that if she didn't pay the bill today, she would leave a hidden danger for herself when she went back to pay the bill.

Jia Baoyu is a loose and lenient master, so he won't be too entangled in the inside story here.

But Xiren is not a lenient "housekeeper". If Xiren makes use of this pretext, although he can't directly cause any harm to Qingwen, he can destroy it and let the world spread such "little things".
