Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 257: To Accompany You (1)
On the second day, General Manager Hu followed Shen Xi's instructions and delivered the dowry list booklet of the late eldest lady to Xie Wei. Manage Zhuangzi's land deed, shop's house deed, Zhuangzi's and shop's operating accounts, and some calligraphy, painting and letters of the old lady.Xie Yuan personally checked with Manager Hu to confirm that the things inherited from Mr. Hu were in line with the book, so he accepted them.

Then Zhu Qing went to the treasury with another steward to accompany Mr. Hu to the treasury, and went to the steward of the Fuzhong Incident Office to check and count the items in the treasury.

Xie Meng checked all these land deeds and house deeds, and found that the dowry of the eldest lady is really not small. There are six farms, two with 10 mu, four with [-] mu, a clothing store, a spice store, a sugar store, a restaurant, There are as many as sixteen inns in total. Not to mention the precious and large items in the mansion, these alone are worth tens of thousands of taels. Considering that so many things were held in Shen Xi's hands before, it's no wonder He will have so much cost in his hands to do business.

When Zhuqing and Manager Hu came back after checking the accounts, Xie Wei was looking through the accounts. Manager Hu immediately stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Madam, there are too many accounts. Tomorrow, I will call all the bosses and shopkeepers to answer Madam, and let them explain each one in detail, so Madam can get started as soon as possible."

Xie Meng nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hu, I have never been in charge of a shop and farm before, and I'm afraid I will trouble you again in the future. You can't make me annoyed."

Hu Quan smiled, and quickly said: "Oh, what did Madam say, if you have anything to do, just ask the villain to do it. The villain is the companion of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is kind to the villain's family. She left early, the villain has not had time to repay the favor, and now she is just helping the eldest son to do what she can, as long as the young lady wants to know, even if you send someone to call me, the villain will be there whenever you are called."

"In this case, I will trouble Mr. Hu."

After checking the accounts, Hu Quan offered to leave. Xie Yu knew that he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't keep him, and asked Zhuqing to go to the kitchen to fetch two jars of Jinlingchun and a roast goose for him to carry back. Hu Quan was also polite. He accepted it, and walked out of the palace with the wine and roast goose.

Only then did Zhuqing come to Xie Wei's side to report:

"Ma'am, Da Furen's dowry is quite a lot. The servants see that everything in the treasury is priceless. What does Da Furen's natal family do?"

After thinking for a while, Xie Yuan said, "It is said that it is the home of the former prime minister."

In the previous life, Xie Yu heard that the emperor's biological mother was the only daughter of the former prime minister, the Luo family. She was a first-class noble daughter in the capital. She married the eldest son of Duke Ding, Shen Ye, and gave birth to the eldest grandson, Shen Xi, in the same year. Three years later, the old Duke passed away, and Shen Ye inherited the title of Duke of the Kingdom. He did not descend to the rank of the Duke of the First Class like ordinary aristocratic families, and still inherited the title of Duke of the First Class. There was only Shen Xi alone, and this incident was a good story at the time, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone knew that the child born of the Luo family was not the son of Duke Ding, Shen Ye, but fell below the threshold. At that time, Shen Xi had already ascended the throne, recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, and changed his name to Feng Zhu. No one dared to say a word. Until later, when Dingguo's mansion was completely destroyed, everyone dared not talk about it. It's over.

Zhu Qing was stunned: "Prime Minister? That's no wonder! I haven't even seen those treasures in the treasury."
