Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 252
"Your Majesty, what should we do, we can't take out such a carcass again!" Hu Momo cried anxiously.

Cheng sighed for a long time, his face was a little pale. "Nurse, how much gold and silver do we have?" Cheng asked feebly.

Hu Nanny said in a low voice: "Madam, there is no more gold and silver in Curry."

Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "I know that too. Alas, it seems that you can only use the silver in the press box. You go and get 200 taels of silver, and have someone go to the bank to exchange 50 taels of gold and 700 taels of silver. Hurry up and make coins." Seven or eight cents of a golden curly is fine, and no more than nine cents of a silver curly, at least let’s get through this year.”

Mother Hu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Madam, that's the box of silver that Madam gave you, don't touch it! If you start this way today, it won't be long before it's all gone!"

Cheng sighed and said: "I can't do it anymore, the son of the world is not as good as before, if this matter is not done well, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in this garden of Zhong Yu soon, don't talk about it, mama, go do it quickly Bar."

Hu Nanny said in a muffled voice, "Then you don't need to take so much, these scorpions are re-melted, just add some gold and silver."

Cheng shook her head and said: "No need, let's recast them all." Cheng didn't know that his decision really saved her once, if those gold and silver ladles were put back into the furnace, no matter how much gold and silver she added, , cannot forge dazzling gold and silver zippers.

Although Madam Hu was reluctant to part with Mrs. Cheng, she did not dare to disobey the order. She opened the box and took the bank notes and ordered a reliable person to go out and change the silver to recast gold and silver coins. In the afternoon, the newly minted coins were brought in. .

Cheng inspected it carefully, and saw that the quality of Kaizi was perfect, but the weight was light, she sighed slowly and said, "That's the only way. I hope the son won't have any objections."

As soon as Cheng's words fell, Xiao Nuo came back. He heard that the keystone had been cast, so he came to have a look.Picking up a golden locket that was sure to be satisfactory, he weighed it in his hand, and Xiao Yu's smiling face sank. He frowned and asked, "It's so light, is it one or two?"

Mrs. Cheng shook her head and said, "No, seven five cents of golden curly and eighty five cents of silver curly. Eighty golden curly and one thousand silver curly."

"There are so few golden cockroaches?" Xiao Yu's face became more and more ugly.In previous years, the gold and silver carnelian he used as a reward was a full one tael. Although the quality of this year's carcass was good, the weight was much lighter. Xiao Yu felt ashamed and panicked on his face. Reward shot!

"If you want to return to the Lord, the amount of things you gave is not enough. I pawned a few things to make up for these gongs. If there are more, I really can't do it." Cheng said sadly.

Xiao Nuo froze for a moment, he remembered that the things he had given to Cheng were only good-looking, but in fact they were not good in quality and not enough in quantity. Now Cheng's ability to produce so many gold and silver cartons has already done his best.

"Forget it, let's do it this year first. No way, next year let Zhuangzi increase the rent, and the shop will also increase their rent. You can't let their servants feel at ease, but make it difficult for the master to make wax." Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said.After hearing this, Cheng could only sigh and agree.

Two or three days later, Zhuangzi and the manager of the shop accompanied by the Duke of Zhen Guo also came to Prince Ning's mansion to see the third young lady, and they also came to give away the rent and the money earned from the shop this year.

After reading the account books, Du Heng acted according to the instructions to Du Zhong that day, as long as there are tenants affected by the disaster, they will be exempted from the next year's rent and will be rewarded with extra money for the New Year.

The stewards who came to report the accounts had already been beaten by Lord Zhen Guo, so they all showed great respect to Du Heng, without the slightest contempt, and their etiquette was extraordinarily considerate.It's just that when Du Heng was looking at the accounts of the shop, she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it immediately, and sent the stewards back after rewarding the guests.

After leaving Prince Ning's mansion, the manager of the shop said to Zhuangtou: "Brother Wu, don't rush back today, come on, let's go, let's boil a pot of good wine tonight and have a good drink. I want to chat with you."

Wu Zhuangtou smiled and said: "Brother Ding, I also have the same idea. After a while, my brother brought you something, but I didn't dare to bring it here. It was still parked at the North City Chariot and Horse Shop. Let's bend over and take it to you." Pick up something?"

Guanshi Ding said with a smile: "It's a good feeling, thank you brother Wu for remembering me, let's go..." The two chatted and laughed and left.

In the room in Jiaotai Garden, Du Heng watched Hongling set up another account book for the Zhuangzi shop accompanied by the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and said indifferently: "This money can only be kept, and will be used as a gift when my sister gets married in the future. Her press box silver and these two Zhuangzi shops will also be returned to her in the future."

After hearing this, Yang Mei said in a low voice: "Madam, this slave feels that this account is wrong."

Du Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it wrong?"

"Returning to Madam, slaves and maidservants will go to Zhuangzi first. These two Zhuangzi are both high-quality fields, and together they are as high as the three Zhuangzi managed by Grandpa Zhong, and they also receive [-]% of the rent. It’s more than [-]% less, and this year’s weather is smooth without any natural disasters, it’s a rare bumper year, so this servant feels that this amount is wrong.”

Du Heng asked slowly: "What about the shop?"

Yang Mei thought for a while before she said: "Returning to Madam, these two shops are located in the best part of the West Market, and they are both the face of Wujian. The income of two is less than two. The servant girl knows that a shop in the West Market costs 1 taels a year in rent, plus various taxes, if there is no income of more than ten thousand taels a year, this shop will not even open. I can’t continue to open it. But Ding’s report shows a gross profit of 500 taels, which is too abnormal. It’s not a new shop, it’s been in business for several years, so how could the profit be so poor.”

Du Heng said with a slight smile: "I really don't see that Yangmei still has this ability. It's too inferior to only ask you to keep accounts."

Yang Mei blushed and said: "Ma'am, don't make fun of the servant girl. The servant girl learned this from Madam and the nanny."

Du Heng sighed softly when he heard this, she had learned these things before, from Nanny Liao, when the three of them, master and servant, were struggling, Nanny Liao often gave her and Yangmei Tell this knowledge to pass the hard time.As the confidant of Du Heng's biological mother, Mammy Liao has learned a little bit about everything. Because she is interested in business management, Du Heng's biological mother specially asked her to learn more. Originally, she wanted Mammy Liao to be a manager in the future. Ladies, I never imagined that the world is impermanent, Mammy Liao has no chance to be the lady in charge, so she can only teach Du Heng and Yang Mei what she has learned.
