Chapter 313 The Situation of Liu Qiongyu's Family

"Speak up if you have something to say, Qinglan will be back in a while." Bai Kou was still annoyed.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, listen to me, there is a rule in the mansion, obviously neither the big housekeeper nor the big accountant told you." Gu Yun patted Bai Kou's back lightly, rubbed his ears with her, showing A little calculating smile.

"What?" The resentment in Bai Kou's stomach dissipated immediately, she straightened her back and waited to hear the secret.

"Qiongyu's family hasn't had any new errands since they came back from outside. Qiongyu is the first girl to come in to do errands, right?"

"Correct."

"Their family independently runs a Wenwan shop outside."

"Independence? Even the accountants are made by themselves? Didn't the mansion send anyone?"

"It's a small shop, mainly for the purpose of occupying land, and I don't want to have a good shop where no one will use it. If the income and expenditure are balanced, it will continue to open until there is a better business to replace it."

"But the shop is closed."

"Well, the business was okay at the beginning, and I was able to make some money every year, but it got worse and worse later on. The goods I bought had been overstocked and couldn't be sold. It was impossible for the public to provide unlimited financial support. The master ordered that the shop be closed. .”

"and then?"

"Then? The store failed to operate, and they came back from the outside in disgrace, and they had no money to show respect in front of their relatives. What kind of life do you think they are living now?"

"Sneering remarks and all kinds of cold faces, I am eager to turn over."

"They also made some money for the mansion before. It's not easy for them to be outside for so many years, so they can be regarded as meritorious. But how to calculate the credit depends on the audit results of the big accountant."

"People who come back from running a shop outside have to go through the audit first?"

"Everyone who comes back from his post must be investigated. Whether it's the closure of the shop or normal staff rotation, this is the rule of the mansion. The mistakes of the predecessors will not be held accountable by future generations."

"I don't have any errands until there is a result, just sit and eat at home?"

"That's their business, the rules are here, but they won't tell them that they are checking the accounts, but tell them to wait patiently to fill the vacancy."

"So the current situation of Qiongyu's family is waiting for the results of the audit. If there is no problem, their whole family will be reactivated?"

"Yes."

"What if a problem is found?"

"Then it depends on how big a mistake you make before making the mistake."

"Aren't the whole family happy that Qiongyu came in?"

"It's natural to be happy, but I don't know how long I can be happy. I haven't seen a really clean person. Even the old shopkeeper who has retired will make various mistakes in many years of operation. wrong."

"Such as misappropriation of public funds?"

"If it's just a transfer of public funds for business, such as insufficient cash for the purchase, it will be transferred from other places to top it up, and then returned to smooth the account after earning money. This is a common thing, which is acceptable, but If you fill your private pockets with public funds, then don't blame the masters for not being sympathetic."

"What's the point of letting Qiongyu in before the accounts are checked?"

"A hostage."

"hostage?"

"To appease their family's emotions, I thought it would be reopened soon. The family is expected to turn around. When they hear that Qiongyu has been favored by me, they will be even happier. Once they relax, they will not be so tense and tense, saying Maybe you will reveal some secrets that outsiders don't know."

"In other words, instead of checking the accounts slowly, why don't they expose the secrets faster?"

"That's right, it takes a lot of time to read the account books accumulated over the years, not to mention looking for loopholes while looking at them. How can they be checked so quickly? Of course, it's best for them to expose themselves. This That's why people who come back from outside have to hang out for a while, either to make them irritable or to relax them, as long as they speak, it's hard to say whether they will be heard or not."

"It's so cunning, this is completely a psychological attack on the battlefield."

"That's right, I don't even think about our family background." Gu Yun was proud.

"What if serious problems are concealed?"

"She's gotta go."

"Oh, like this." Bai Kou suddenly felt bored.

"What's the matter, you still look unhappy?"

"What's there to be happy about? It has nothing to do with her sneaking around outside the maidservant's room."

"Did you really close the door when you went out?"

"Of course it's closed."

"Missing something?"

"That's not it."

"There is no evidence that she did enter your room?"

"No."

"Then it's over? What are you still struggling with? Even if you go to confront her, if she insists that the strong wind blows open the door and she closes it for you, what can you do with her? It's better to put this matter aside and continue to observe , if she is a law-abiding person, that's all right, if she has a different heart, isn't it just a toy delivered to your door?"

"Then do you treat her as a toy or a girl now?"

"Well, a beautiful woman stands in front of her, always wanting to see if other parts of her body are as beautiful as her face."

"Do you want the servant girl to wash her up and send her to your bed?"

"Don't be so active in this kind of thing, I prefer to do it myself."

"As long as you are happy."

Bai Kou made a grimace, and then both of them heard the movement in the corridor outside the window at the same time, and Qinglan came back talking and laughing with the girls.

Gu Yun squeezed Bai Kou's face, then hugged her off the ground, and the two quickly slipped to the desk. When Qinglan entered the room, what he saw was the young master and Manager Bai discussing business matters across the large desk. Qinglan didn't listen, and after saluting, she went out to ask Qiongyu for tea.

Qing Lan turned around and left, Bai Kou also withdrew, carrying her big baggage back to the room and locking it up.

The next day, as long as Bai Kou left the room, she still locked the door. The newly bought lock would be wasted if not used. Even though she already knew that Qiongyu was still not considered an official girl in Shizi's heart, to her personally, There are too many belongings in her room, so lock the door and feel at ease.

The girls at the bottom didn't take it to heart when they heard about it. Mama Pang's room was also locked. I never heard of any steward who would open his door to let people in and out when he was out on business. , the rewards are really a lot, if there is something missing, everyone in the courtyard will look ugly, and it will save everyone's trouble to lock the door.

Because Qiongyu secretly looked at Bai Kou's room last time, she didn't express any opinion on it, besides, she didn't have any extra thoughts to care about it. The young master forbade the girls to use their own fragrance powder, and she was in a hurry Worry about it.

Usually when the young master goes to school, she hides in the house and sprinkles a little powder on her every time. But as long as the young master is at home, she has to stay in the main hall for a long time, and she can't call the second class frequently for the reason of relief The girl will stand for her for a while, and after a few times, everyone will have opinions, and some people will definitely think that she is not suitable to be a first-class girl because she is lazy and has a lot of shit.

It's only been a few days since she arrived here for the first time, Qiongyu doesn't want to conflict with anyone, whether the family can turn around depends on her status in front of the young master, no matter what, the first thing to do is to win the young master.
