Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 99 No comparison, no harm

Aunt Yun was happy to see that the Fourth Young Miss did not doubt her, but she did not dare to walk towards the front door at this time.

"The fourth young lady is the smartest in the mansion. You can go and find out slowly. I will go first." Aunt Yun said softly.

Although she was only a few steps away from the front door, she still suppressed her inner yearning and walked towards the right hall with her bag on her back.

"Humph, this lady is very smart." The fourth lady said proudly.

She felt guilty because she wanted to leave the house, and she was also afraid that Aunt Yun would see her walking out of the door, so she stood in the middle of the road and watched Aunt Yun walk away.

Aunt Yun didn't hear any footsteps, but she knew that the Fourth Young Lady was still standing at the gate looking at her.

There was no choice but to continue walking to the right. Suddenly, I heard a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps in front of me.

She was so frightened that she ducked down and went into the garden. Sure enough, she heard the master's anxious voice: "Tell me, did I treat her badly?"

"The master treats Madam Yun very well, better than he treats the lady," his personal servant said respectfully.

"Then why did she run away?"

"..."

"This master has treated her like a treasure in the past two years. As long as she likes something, this master will find a way to satisfy her."

"..."

"Every time the Madam bullied her, I, the Master, would go and ask the old Madam to scold the Madam to help her vent her anger. I treated her so well, how could she bear to leave?"

The servant was secretly complaining in his heart: If your son takes her back, will she really like you?
But he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only echo, "Aunt Yun is too ungrateful..."

"How can you talk like that? Do you usually bully her like this? Is that why she doesn't want to stay in our Yin Mansion?" the eldest master roared angrily.

"........."

The servant was stunned!
How could he have the guts to bully his master's favorite concubine!

The reason he said this was simply to flatter his master.

"Master, I didn't..." The servant lowered his head and defended weakly.

But it was obvious that the master had been so angry that he lost the ability to think, "No? Then why would she want to escape?"

"..."

"Tell me, are you guys always saying bad things about Yun'er behind my back? Are you making her angry and run away?"

The servant's mind was in a mess as he was questioned by his master, and he couldn't imagine why things turned out like this.

It was clearly the master who was scolding Aunt Yun, and he was just joining in. Why did the master suddenly get angry?
Is it...

The servant raised his head and looked at the master, only to find that the master was looking at him with eyes wide open, obviously still waiting for his answer.

He panicked immediately, fell to his knees, and begged for mercy with a trembling body: "Master, please calm down. I am only telling the truth. I really have no other intentions."

"You bastard, you are still lying. What do you mean by telling the truth? Aunt Yun is so kind, how could she be so ungrateful? I think you are getting too bold."

"Master is right, Aunt Yun is a very good person." The servant said with a strong desire to survive.

"She's a very nice person, so why did she run away?"

"........."

The servant walked towards the gate with the master trembling with fear. He dared not speak any more.

Compared to the chaotic Yin Mansion, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion was much warmer at this time.

Today is the day when the Weiwu Marquisate pays out monthly salaries. Since Wen Qingwan took over the family, their monthly salaries have been restored. Because everyone contributes, those who farm, raise pigs, herd cattle, make clothes, and study all receive a basic monthly salary.

This made the penniless young men and women very happy.

Wen Qingwan stipulated that all the young masters and young ladies in the Xiao family, regardless of whether they were born legitimate or illegitimate, had a unified basic monthly salary of five taels.

Those who work will receive additional wages based on their work.

Father Xiao's concubines received a monthly salary of two taels of silver, and they could also receive wages based on the work they did for making clothes.

Old Madam Xiao and Mr. Xiao don't work, and their fixed salary is thirty taels a month, which is definitely not enough compared to other mansions.

But compared to their previous experience of relying on their face to make money, it is still much better. After all, this is legitimate income and they don't have to rely on other people's faces.

Everyone happily received their monthly salary and wages. Those who were studying did not receive wages but received rewards.

Finally, it was Xiao Laosi's turn to collect his wages. He held the account book in both hands and handed it to Wen Qingwan.

"Sister-in-law, this is the account of our Yunjin sales for one month. Please take a look."

Jinlan immediately stepped forward to take it and asked Wen Qingwan, "Madam, do you want to see it now or go back to the courtyard?"

"Look at how happy Fourth Brother looks. He must have made a good income. Jinlan, bring it here for me to see. Eleven, come and take a look too."

Wen Qingwan had just finished speaking when Jinlan opened the account book and handed it to her. Xiao Yi also hurriedly stood behind her and stretched his neck to look.

After opening the account book, Wen Qingwan was so shocked that she read several pages in a row, and finally couldn't help but turn to the end.

Is this world magical? Is it so easy to make money?

"Oh my God! Fourth brother, you actually earned nearly 20,000 taels of silver this month?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Wen Qingwan also looked at Xiao Si in shock, but Xiao Si calmly corrected her.

"Sister-in-law and Eleventh Sister didn't look carefully. The nearly twenty thousand taels have not yet deducted the six thousand three hundred taels deposit paid in advance by fifty people, so the net profit this month should be eleven thousand five hundred taels."

Xiao Yi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

Eleven thousand five hundred and thirty taels is a lot, right?

Others had the same idea as Xiao Yi. Compared to the one or two taels of silver they earned a day, what was that like?
They had just received their wages for this month, and Xiao Yi only got fifty-five taels at most, and they were so envious of her just now.

Xiao Yi was so happy that she was at a loss.

Now she was shocked that her fourth brother earned more than ten thousand taels a month. She had fifty-five taels plus five taels of monthly salary, a total of sixty taels, and she didn't think it was too much!
"Oh my God, this huge amount of money from Fourth Brother, how can someone like me who earns 60 taels a month compare to it?"

"Eleventh sister, I was really envious of you just now. Hehe, compared to Fourth Brother, you are just so-so. I suddenly feel very happy."

Xiao Lixia said with a sly smile, holding five taels of silver excitedly.

"You should all be happy. All the money that Fourth Brother earns, except for the commission he deserves, will go to the public. It will be used to feed you, buy new clothes, and marry you wives...so you should thank him."

Wen Qingwan warned her brothers and sisters with a smile on her face. In fact, she was also very happy, after all, all the accounts of Zhonggong were under her management.

Once the money came into her hands, she naturally let it squander. She was too lazy to make money and just left it all to her stepbrothers and stepsisters of the Xiao family to manage.

You just need to take charge of the task and don't have to worry about anything else. You only need to give proper commands and then sit back and enjoy the results.

It's just that others do the work, and if they do a good job, they are praised, and if they do a bad job, it's their incompetence.

We are all very happy to thank Wen Qingwan, and thank our fourth brother (fourth brother)

Only Xiao Wang glared at Xiao Lao Si with gritted teeth, "Why didn't you show off your ability before?"
