Chapter 991
After receiving the ledger and keys, Xiao Jing and Suning who dismissed the housemaids, the smiles in their eyes deepened.

Xiao Jing said: "Look at you dumbfounded. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard to read the account books these days, but you're still smiling so happily."

Su Ning smiled like a stealing cat, and said, "Of course I'm happy! After all, these will belong to my husband in the future, and I will take good care of them for you, lest some people have no hope of grabbing the position of the prince, bit by bit Evacuate the Duke's Mansion, and it will be broken by then."

"Well! When the emperor's imperial decree comes down, I will ask my father to return my mother's dowry." Xiao Jing had a plan in his heart, and he told Suning in advance at this time.

Su Ning laughed and said, "Aren't I going to become a little rich woman?"

Xiao Jing said: "Yes! I will keep it for you at that time. When we have a daughter, you will also prepare a dowry for our daughter in a decent way."

Suning was so happy that he almost clapped his hands.

She said, "That's great!"

In a family like the Duke's Mansion, the first lady will prepare 1 taels of silver when she gets married, and the concubine will have five thousand.

The families of other well-matched girls are similar, but the mistress usually gives more privately to the prostitute than the silver taels from the public, plus the things saved by the girl's family from childhood to adulthood, it is tens of thousands of taels to say the least. thing.

Suning also came to Shangjing and really got to know the people in this circle before he knew these things.

Su Ning turned over the ledger vigorously, and after a while exclaimed, "Wow, it turns out that the Duke's Mansion actually costs so much money in a month!"

Xiao Jing glanced at the amount on the account, and said understandingly: "It's normal, there are only so many maidservants in the mansion, and these are still small amounts. If you look further down, it's the month when the season changes that costs a lot. All the masters in the mansion need at least four sets of clothes and two sets of jewelry, not to mention the ones that are usually bought, and the ones for human relations."

Su Ning swallowed with difficulty, and said, "The government's one month's expenses are as much as our family's ten years' expenses!"

Xiao Jing said: "After all, there are so many people, and the circles are different, it's all life, there is no comparison."

Su Ning rolled his eyes at Xiao Jing, unable to accept his bowl of poisonous chicken soup.

"What a shame!" Suning couldn't help sighing again after roughly scanning the accounts of the past few months, like a little girl who has never seen the world, suddenly came to a big city and saw those high-rise buildings.

Xiao Jing said dumbfoundedly: "Okay, it's getting late, let's see what we have tomorrow! Don't burn your eyes out."

"No, I haven't read the roster yet. I have to read the roster first. At least the names of those in charge tomorrow, I have to remember. Then I can sit in the right place and remember their faces." Su Ning picked up the roster and threw it aside. Another booklet.

Suning didn't mention the roster.

I don't know if it was Lan's order to go down, but the servants didn't pay attention, and just brought the roster with the ledger, or Lan's deliberate action.

If it's the latter, the Lan family is more afraid of her slander and bullying Xiao Ranyu than Suning imagined.

But it is also true, for a girl in this era, reputation is too important, and it will affect her life.

Just like Xiao Ranlin, if she hadn't taken the blame for Lan Shi, and Xiao Guogong intended to appease her, how could he let her intervene in the family.

After being explained by Xiao Jing just now, Su Ning finally understood that Xiao Guogong intentionally asked Aunt Jian to take some money, which was regarded as a subsidy to Xiao Ranlin.
