The concubine of the famous family is very evil.

Chapter 173

After hearing this, Jinniang had no choice but to say: "Mother, Xianggong is fine."

The concubine only thought that she was saying good things for Leng Huating, and didn't take it to heart, so she asked Biyu to take the package of gifts back, and said to Jinniang: "Come on, this is the account of the small kitchen, please help me see it."

Reluctantly, Jinniang took the account book and read it. At first, she was only perfunctory to the princess, but the more she looked at it carefully, the more frightened she became. It was just a small kitchen, and the monthly income and expenditure was as much as several thousand taels. How much can you eat?
"Mother, are these the two books you asked me to read earlier?" The princess nodded after hearing this, frowned and said, "I was trying to test you, but you saw through it, but mother still wants to read it." I really don’t like to look at the ledgers. I feel dizzy when I look at them. In the past, Mama Wang helped me to read these ledgers. Now... one can’t trust her completely anymore. Besides, she’s old too, and there are some things You can't control it, you will have to take over many things in the mansion sooner or later, it's good to start with small things first, and practice."

Wang Hao's words can be said to be frank, but Jinniang is confused. If she just helps to read the account book and manage the small kitchen, then it is nothing, but how can Wang Hao want to take over many things by herself?Isn't there still the Crown Princess Shangguan Mei?

The eldest son and his wife deliberately looked down on Aunt Liu indifferently, didn't they have other intentions?I'm afraid that he is deliberately showing favor to the princess, what about the princess Ma, isn't it just to be able to run the family?I have only been here for more than a month, and the concubine asked me several times to learn to run the house, read the account books and so on. I really let myself take over, I am afraid that the house will be turned upside down...

It is estimated that if I ask the princess about these things, I will not give an answer. Perhaps, the princess has already made up her mind that Leng Huating is her own, and she will always think of a way to leave him something. Since she asked herself to learn Come on, then learn it.

"Mother, there are indeed some problems with this account. There are big loopholes in several strokes. I will trace it out for you with a pen in a while."

Jinniang just read a few strokes hastily, the princess didn't expect that she immediately saw the problem, and couldn't help asking: "Did you learn to be a master when you were in your mother's house?"

Jinniang's mother is just a concubine, she didn't have the right to run the house, and Jinniang is often oppressed by the eldest lady, so it is difficult to learn something, so the princess has always been worried about her, now let's see her reconciliation Ben was so proficient that he couldn't help but be surprised.

Most of the accounts here are written in a running account. Jinniang has studied accounting before, so she is clear about the accounting, and the running account is easier to read. Of course, it doesn't take long to see the problem. It's just that the princess is hard to answer. , She thought for a while before answering: "No one taught it, but Jinniang liked to learn it since she was a child, and she also learned the ability to read accounts from an old nun in the mansion. Mother, I will describe it later." After you come out, you can see if it's right, I'm not sure."

The concubine asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and Jin Niang made a small mark on the margin of the account page, and then listed the amount in question. There were more than a dozen in and out entries that did not match.

The concubine saw it clearly at a glance, and the concubine had already seen those few strokes, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The concubine couldn't help but looked sideways at Jinniang, took a long breath and said, "It's good that you have this ability, Jinniang, in the future, you will have a lot of money in your hands, you must be able to read and manage accounts, You must also be able to do accounts, and you can’t let the servants fool you.”

Big money?Where?Is it the princess's dowry?However, compared to the princess who is used to big money, the princess's dowry might not be "big money".

Seeing that Jinniang was puzzled, the princess said again: "Have you kept the jade pendant?"

Is jade pendant related to large sums of money?Could it be a certain token in the legend, which can represent a key to a treasure, if...

"It's ready, mother, what is the black jade used for?" Jin Niang was really curious.

"Don't ask about this matter, just keep the black jade well, but don't throw it away, even if someone asks you to see it, you can't take it out, understand?" The princess looked very serious, Jin Niang Hearing this, he couldn't help being even more surprised, it seems that his guess is almost inseparable, black jade is at least a keepsake.

"I went to the shop today, but I learned something." Seeing that Jinniang was still deep in thought, the princess didn't want Jinniang to know about Heiyu too early, so she changed the subject.

"Well, I learned a lot, oh, mother, the third uncle insisted on resigning from Fugui, and my husband and I decided to ask Fugui to work in my yard. You... don't blame me." Jin Niang asked tentatively.

"Oh, Fugui has been working in that shop for 20 years, and the third child really drove Fugui away as soon as he left. Let's see how he lasted for half a year." The princess sneered when she heard this, and felt that Jinniang He Ting'er has a good vision, so he brought back a capable person so soon, and it will definitely be useful to them in the future.

"Hehe, that's out of our control. Mother, I still have something to ask you to show me. I have a dowry shop, and it's also on the east side of the city. It's just that the shop is not as good as the one in the mansion, and it's also smaller. There are many, and I want to ask Fugui to take care of it for me, do you think it is appropriate?" Jinniang said this, but she just wanted to respect the princess.

The princess was startled when she heard this, and then she laughed: "Of course it's suitable. Since you want to go there, you don't have to ask me how to adjust it. Mother also wants to see it. You will arrange your dowry into a What does it look like." After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Go ahead and do it, if you lose money, mother will pay you here."

Of course Jinniang was even more happy when she heard that, she was worried that she had no capital, and now that the concubine was willing to support her, it was just around the corner that her small shop would grow.

The concubine is hoping that Jinniang will do a few more things, just to test her business ability. The prince has already given her the black jade. If she is incapable, it will be difficult. Ting'er's legs and feet are inconvenient , Pushing a wheelchair is still inconvenient after all. If there is a smart and capable daughter-in-law to help, things will be much easier.

The mother-in-law and the wife talked about the bills in the room for an hour or two. It was almost dinner time, and Jin Niang was about to leave.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that the princess and Jinniang were flipping over a ledger and talking, and couldn't help but walk in with a smile: "Oh, mother, are you teaching your younger siblings to read the ledger? It just so happens that Meier also has some If you don’t understand, you are going to ask your mother for advice, why don’t you teach me along with you.”
