Chapter 1863 Found Facts

So the two walked towards Lan Yuan confidently!

On this side, Su Li read the account to the old lady, Su Wen one by one to the old lady, and finally told the old lady that when they spent 670 taels of silver, the old lady raised her eyebrows, but Because of the previous events as a foreshadowing, the old lady asked Su Li after thinking for a while.

"Is this account likely to be settled?"

Hearing this, Su Li had a look of embarrassment on his face. He had fought once before to settle their accounts, but now this matter happened again, the old lady suddenly became unhappy when she saw it, and Su Li didn't wait for her to speak softly.

"If grandma wants me to flatten, I will ask the prince to help me flatten. All the things here are in the booklet. The prince has a copy, and it will be right at that time."

"Mu Xiang, go pick out some of my personal jewelry, take them to the pawn shop, and see how much money you can get."

When the old lady heard Su Li's sincere and filial appearance, she immediately frowned. If she asked the lord, the lord would definitely help, but where would she put her face?

"Can't our Su Mansion even get 5000 taels?"

Prime Minister Su has been running the Su Mansion for so many years, it is impossible for him to have no savings, Su Li felt more and more helpless.

"I used to be the housekeeper of Aunt Xiao Ling. I really don't know how much money Su's house has. Now that I have changed to Princess Kang, I know better. Princess Kang has managed the inside and outside of Su's house in an orderly manner. Even Auntie's Fees are all treated equally.”

"Grandmother, money can be taken out, not to mention 5000 taels, even 3 taels can be given out, but grandma... can the extravagant style of the first aunt and second aunt no longer exist? The day before yesterday 8000 taels, more than 5000 taels today, so calculated, the entire Su Mansion can be defeated in a month, has grandma ever thought about it?"

"Although there is a large amount of gold and silver coming in and out of the Su Mansion every day, these are all used for real things. It is necessary for my father to handle the money spent every month as an official in the court. The 140 five people in the Su Mansion Food and clothing are also necessary, we are going to get married, these expenses are also indispensable."

Listening to her words, the old lady knew it was true. She also managed the family and knew a lot about the situation, but she still didn't believe her daughters were so extravagant.

"When they first came to the capital, they needed too many things. It was also for our face. It shouldn't be like this in the future."

Su Li nodded.

"I have sent people back and forth to deliver nearly 2 taels to them, plus the more than 2 taels they bought themselves. In the past three days, they have spent nearly 5 taels on them."

"what?"

The old lady was startled when she heard that, she looked at Su Li in surprise, Mulian handed over the booklet, Su Wen took it, and read the same to the old lady, the old lady's face finally sank, Su Li Everything was prepared for them in such detail, even the menstrual belts for women were prepared, and they had bought so many things before, why did they have to spend so much?

No matter how close she is, she is still a married daughter and is no longer a daughter of the Su family. The old lady is really unhappy now, but when she thinks of the crying of her eldest daughter, Su Li raises her eyes and continues to speak calmly.

"If this account is to be settled, Princess Kang must not agree to pay so much. I can sell some jewelry here, and the rest..."

"I'm here."

The old lady had no choice but to accept Su Li's words. Su Li stood up and thanked her grandmother, and then spoke to her again.

"What the granddaughter is worried about now is that once the eldest aunt buys something, she will come over and cry once. When she talks about her miserable life, the grandmother will feel distressed when she hears it, and then she will pay them back. Grandma... If they really live How can you have a pair of white and tender hands and a face that is as smooth as fat, which is something that people who have lived a hard life will not have."

After Su Li finished speaking, she saluted the old lady again and left. After listening to Su Li's words, the old lady sat in her seat for a long time before she realized it. When the bead curtain rang and Su Li left completely, the old lady became angry. Turn around and ask Su Wen.

"Li'er, what does that mean? Is she saying that Bingwei and Bingqin are deliberately pretending to be poor in front of me, and then they just want to trick the Su family into paying their bills?"

Su Wen's heart trembled when he heard this, how would he return to the old lady, in fact, she had already heard so many conversations, the aunts and grandma and the others were simply using the Su Mansion as a cash cow, gritted their teeth, and Su Wen stepped forward He squeezed the old lady's arm.

"Does it mean what the eldest lady said? Let's see if my aunts and grandma will go out to buy it tomorrow."

The old lady stood up, paced slowly back and forth in the hall, and finally looked at Su Wen with a sullen face.

"There is a bottle of white jade Guanyin on the list you read just now. I remember if you went to see it, and it is also the price?"

Su Wen was asked such a question, but she also remembered that the bottle of jade Guanyin was very exquisite and rare, but the price was a bit high, it cost 4000 taels of silver, the old lady was happy but she didn't buy it after all.

"However, the list says 800 taels, old madam."

The old lady raised her eyes when she heard this, did prices in Beijing rise so fast recently?It's just a few months, and it has increased by 2000 taels of silver?
Su Wen's eyes flickered slightly, the old lady saw the meaning in her eyes, raised her hand and said angrily.

"Go and check to see if the boss thought they were from other places and deliberately raised their prices. If that's the case, he will let someone close the store."

"Yes."

Su Wen didn't delay any longer, and went out of the mansion to go to the jade shop in person. She didn't ask anything else, but asked if the bottle of jade Guanyin was still there. The old lady still wanted to buy it back, but the boss said with a smile. The bottle Guanyin has been sold.

Su Wen asked him how much silver he sold, and the boss said it was still the same price, not much, Su Wen suddenly became strange.

She took out the brochure, which clearly showed 800 taels of silver. After the boss read it, his face changed slightly, and he put the brochure on the table with a serious question. To be honest.

"The lady asked me to report 800 taels, and said that she would give me an extra 200 taels as a kickback. I have money to earn, so I won't take care of it so much, so I agreed."

After Su Wen knew what was going on here, he then went to other stores. Several expensive items were falsely quoted, and Cha De Su Wen was sweating on his forehead. He hurried back to the mansion and reported to the old lady, the old man Hearing this, his blood surged up, and he fell back. Su Wen was so shocked that he hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor over. Finally, after thinking about it, the old lady felt sorry for them, so she asked someone to open the warehouse and took the The 1 taels of silver were delivered to Su Li.
