The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 573

Aunt Liu knew it well, and then she said another thing.

As soon as the news spread that the Mu family was going to marry Princess Rongxian to be the mistress of the mansion, the families of officials, big and small, in Beijing began to want to move.

In any case, Mu Yongnian is a high-ranking official, and the people waiting to curry favor with him can line up from the Mu Mansion to the gate of the city. He is worried that he has no chance to give gifts at ordinary times, but now he has such a good opportunity to take advantage of a happy event. Naturally, it is necessary to perform.

As the right minister, Mu Yongnian usually shows a thrifty and strict attitude in front of people. People know that gifts cannot be delivered to Mu Yongnian. Fortunately, there is an old lady in Mu's family, so they all swear Carry the good things to Minghui Hall.

The old lady has always been a polite and well-mannered person, there is no reason to push away the good things she got, so for several days in a row, she greeted the visitors with a smile from morning to night, even though she was so tired that her back was aching, but she was still in her heart. Happy.

However, she also has a clear account. The gifts from each family and what gifts are given are all recorded by the accounting office. Afterwards, she will naturally have to re-evaluate according to the weight of the gifts.Of course, these favors also need to be told to Mu Yongnian, so that he can deal with the former court in the future.

The old lady received gifts for five full days, and did not stop until the 23rd of the first lunar month.Generally speaking, after the fifteenth year, the new year will be born, and the joy in the capital will also decrease a bit, but the real joy of the Mu family starts after the fifteenth year.

The old lady was really happy recently, so she thought that the children of Mu's family should not be shabby on the day when Rongxian passed the mansion. She ordered the clothes to be cut before, but now that she thinks about it, she just took this opportunity to add a set of head jewelry for herself. !

She shared this idea with the women at home one morning, but the faces of the concubines were indifferent, and the children were all pleasantly surprised.

After all, in this mansion, no matter whether Mrs. Shen was in charge of Zhongfu before or Aunt Liu is in charge of Zhongfu now, in fact, the housekeeper is in the hands of the old lady. Do it, not to mention the face.

Even this new year, the old lady just made new clothes for them, and didn't even mention the jewelry.They didn't expect that Mu Yongnian's big wedding would give them a lot of money, so they quickly stood up and thanked the old lady.

The old lady gave them a blank look, and said in her heart that these little heartless people can only get in and out.

However, she is in a very good mood recently, so she doesn't care too much. She just told Nanny Sun to go to the account and pay out the money first, and then quickly sent someone to rush to make it overnight. The noodles are all done.

Grandma Sun agreed and left, but when she came back, she was empty-handed, and said to the old lady very helplessly: "The account says... there is no money."

When Nanny Sun said she had no money, everyone was dumbfounded, and Mu Jiaqing was the first to react: "Nonsense! How could the Mu family have no money?"

Mu Yanran has been quite fond of singing against others recently, so she said in a nonchalant way: "What is the fourth sister talking about, and my father is not a corrupt official, so why does he have to be rich?"

"Then it's impossible that we don't even have money for our face. The money in the tent has been eaten by wolves?" She said while glaring at Mu Yanran, "Big sister doesn't need much with her current appearance. Head jewelry, of course there is nothing to worry about."

All of a sudden, Mu Jiaqing poked her sore spot. She didn't understand why her face became like this. Could it be that someone in this mansion plotted against her, but this was her sore spot. The Mu family would usually not expose her. this scar.

But now that Mu Jiaqing brought it up suddenly, her eye circles became a little red.

"Okay! Don't make noise!" The old lady was already in a mess, and it made them even more upset when they made a scene, but she was also surprised, "How can there be no money in the account? Didn't you just collect the rent from the village a year ago?" kid?"

Nanny Sun sighed, and told the old lady, "The accountant said that the master has been buying things for Mingyue Yuan'er recently, and took away all the money back and forth."

"What?" The old lady became angry at once, "Isn't there a servant to make arrangements for Mingyueyuan'er, why did he do it himself? Besides, even if you want to add something, you won't have to spend all the money in the account Go, I collected the rent from the village a year ago, and there must be at least 40 taels in the account!"

The old lady has been in charge of the middle class in the mansion. Although she was not in good health a few years ago, she returned to power as soon as she recovered.She is confused about other things, but she is not sloppy when it comes to money.

Nanny Sun didn't know why, so she had no choice but to go back to the old lady and say, "That's what it said in the account."

"Hmph!" The old lady snorted angrily, threw her scepter on the ground, and stood up, "I'll ask in person."

If the old lady wanted to go there in person, the others would naturally have to follow.A group of people rushed to the account room, and when they got there, the account manager had expected the old lady to come, and was already waiting at the door with the account book.

"Although the Mu family has always been in the hands of the old lady, because you have said something before, it is natural to talk to you when someone else wants to move the public bank, but the master is the head of the family, so you don't need to ask. of."

The gentleman said word by word: "The master started to pay five days ago. The first time was 1 taels, the second time was 5 taels, the third time was 20 taels, and the fourth time was also 20 taels. Adding up the four times, not only did all the rent money collected years ago be paid out, but the tens of thousands left in the account were also used up. Now there is only 120 taels of silver in the account, which is not enough to make four. Helmets."

The old lady held the ledger in her hand, her face turned blue with anger, "46, a total of 46 taels! I really want to see what he bought for that bitch... that princess!"

She wanted to say that bitch, but she couldn't say it because of Rong Xian's identity.In the face of money, the old lady is definitely not recognized by her relatives.

A group of people followed in a mighty way to Mingyue Garden.

At the other end of the Mingyue Garden, the maidservants are busy in full swing.

A servant girl said while moving things: "The master is really kind to that princess, why do these things look better to me than the ones in the original Lily Courtyard?"

A woman answered her: "It's not better than the ones in Lily Yard. Not to mention the ones I bought later, the ones that the master found out from the warehouse were all rewarded by the palace over the years. Aunt Shen never Not used."

"Have all the things in the warehouse been moved here?" There was a sudden roar, and the servants in the yard were shocked. Everyone turned their heads and looked, and suddenly found that under the angrily led by the old lady, all the courtyards of the Mu family The son's masters all squeezed in.

The old lady glared at the woman and asked sharply: "What did you just say? All the rewards in the warehouse have been moved here?"
