After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 46 Sending the Ledger

Jiang family residence, study room in the main courtyard.

Mrs. Jiang was handling the accounts. She frowned and flipped through a few pages of the account book. She was so angry that she threw away the pen in her hand.

"Don't be angry, madam, have a drink of tea!" Qin's mother brought a cup of tea, then picked up the fan on the side and shook it gently, "I'm not in a hurry to check the accounts. You didn't even take a nap at noon, so why don't I help you? Let’s rest for a while?”

Mrs. Jiang took the tea cup and drank the tea soup in one gulp, her face still angry: "Why rest? The accounts are in a mess. If I don't sort them out quickly, I don't even know that the house has been emptied." !”

While speaking, Mrs. Jiang pointed to an account and said: "Look, just for buying fruits, the money spent this month is more than half more than last month! Why didn't I know that our house consumes so much money?" big?!"

Mrs. Jiang flipped through the account books loudly, pointed to another place and said: "And this mason, everything in our house is good. When did we hire a mason?"

Individually, these are small amounts of money, but together they are huge, nearly 200 taels!
In the past, Mrs. Jiang would definitely not be angry about this, but in order to send Jiang Fuyao to the Hou Mansion, she just gave away a lot of money. Now that Jiang Fuyao stays in the Hou Mansion, he has to spend 30 taels a day just for food!
Mrs. Jiang was so upset that she simply closed the account book and threw it aside.

Mother Qin didn't dare to speak, so she had to bring another cup of tea: "Madam, please calm down, the servants below are not doing things well, let's find an excuse and replace them, your body is the most important thing!"

"What do you know? Those servants who do odd jobs will be replaced as soon as they are replaced, but how can the manager be moved at his will?"

Mrs. Jiang rubbed her eyebrows: "If I had known, I wouldn't have replaced the person in front!"

Back then, when she first took over the Jiang family's backyard, she immediately withdrew all the first lady's people without saying a word and replaced them with her own people.

At the beginning, those people followed the old routine left by the late wife, and nothing went wrong. She felt at ease, and increasingly felt that housekeeping was not a difficult task. It was just a matter of looking through the ledger when the time came every month. I also increasingly felt that it was unnecessary for the late Madam to personally tap her fingers and lecture her every day.

But within two years, it was obvious that more and more money was being spent in the house. Although she found many things that were wrong when she was calculating the accounts, she heard that when the first lady dealt with household affairs, she would always give some benefits to her subordinates. , she thought these were normal and didn't care much.

Until now, the benefits are increasing and out of control.

Mother Qin pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, so she had to keep silent and stood up to massage Mrs. Jiang.

Her hand fell on Mrs. Jiang's temple, and the massage force was moderate. Mrs. Jiang's brow gradually relaxed.

"...That's all. Fortunately, Xiuyunfang is still there to support us," Mrs. Jiang said. "Although the income is much lower than before, it is still better than other shops."

After all, it is a shop on Jin 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.

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Mrs. Jiang's face finally became more relaxed: "If it doesn't work, we will close Xiuyunfang and rent out the shop. Anyway, the shops on Jin Street are very expensive, so we don't have to worry about no one wanting it!"

When the time comes, it will be even more profitable than opening Xiuyunfang!
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's complexion finally looked better, Qin's mother also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile: "Madam is absolutely right!"

Mrs. Jiang smiled, completely relaxed her mind, and concentrated on enjoying Mother Qin's massage.The room was suddenly quiet, except for the gentle rustling sound when the breeze blew through the bead curtain.

Just when Mrs. Jiang was so comfortable that she fell asleep, the female envoy from the second door suddenly ran in. Without looking at Mrs. Jiang who was closing her eyes to rest, she directly shouted in her voice: "Madam, it's not good! Jingzhe is back. , and he also brought with him a rogue!"

Mrs. Jiang was disturbed and suddenly felt irritable. Her brows that had just relaxed suddenly tightened.

Mother Qin on the side hurriedly scolded: "I'm just a servant, how can you behave in such a hurry? Don't you see the lady is resting? Tell her to wait!"

"Madam, please forgive me. I have something to do for a while. I can't wait any longer." A clear voice sounded, and then Jingzhe walked in with a stack of ledgers in his arms.

She walked into the hall, curtsied in accordance with the rules, then put the account book in her hand on the ground, and said loudly: "These are all the account books kept in Xiuyunfang. Our girl asked me to send them here. By the way, tell me Just tell me, madam, you don’t have to worry about that shop on Jin Street. From now on, my girl will be in charge."

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Jiang suddenly woke up from her drowsiness. She slapped her hand on the table and angrily yelled, "Who is she? That shop belongs to our Jiang family! Where can she get to dictate terms?!"

"That's right, Madam," Jingzhe said calmly, "If Madam is not convinced, you can go to the court to confront him and ask the Yamen to transfer the documents. Let's all see whose name is on that shop!"

When this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Jiang's face turned even darker.

She almost forgot that although she had always been in charge of the shop, the shop had a red deed, and Jiang Fuyue's name was written in the government archives.

But it had been three years, and Jiang Fuyue seemed to have forgotten this shop. It was fine, why did she suddenly think of it again?
Mrs. Jiang coughed, waved her hand and said, "The Jiang family has been short of money recently and has trouble making money. You go back and tell your girl that I will give the shop to her later."

"I dare to ask Madam, now that the Jiang family is short of money, does it have anything to do with my girl?" Jingzhe had a tough attitude, "Anyway, I have already sent the account books, and I think the shopkeeper will be here soon. No matter what Madam says, even if we cause trouble, Court, this shop has nothing to do with your Jiang family."

She didn't come here to discuss with Mrs. Jiang, so there was no need to talk about anything.

Therefore, Jingzhe turned around and left without looking at Mrs. Jiang's murderous eyes.

As soon as she went out, there was a sound of breaking porcelain behind her.

Jingzhe curled her lips happily, and her steps became much brisker.

"Bitch!" Mrs. Jiang threw the tea cup, still feeling upset. She stared at Jingzhe's back, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.

"Madam, we don't have a shop, what should we do?" Even Qin's mother was anxious.

Mrs. Jiang calmed down. She stared at the pile of account books on the ground and thought for a moment, then said: "Send someone to guard the door of the shop and see what Jiang Fuyue wants to do first. If she also wants to do business, then Find a way to stir things up for her!"

She couldn't use that shop, and Jiang Fuyue couldn't even hope to use it smoothly!
