The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 566 Official Separation (1)
"Ming Yu, don't say any more. It's useless to talk more. Those who should understand have already understood, and those who don't, even if you say something, others will only think you are harboring evil intentions." Han shook her head, signaling Xiao Mingyu not to be like this.

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "Daughter listens to Mother."

Xiao Mingyu looked back at the two siblings, "You can take care of yourselves. After the old man's filial piety, our family will move out. I hope that you can all keep yourselves in peace. So, of course, hello, hello, hello, everyone. If someone has other thoughts, don't blame me for being rude."

There was a commotion in the mourning hall, but no outsiders were alarmed.Seeing this farce, the fourth and eldest families didn't say anything.Xiao Mingyu was right, and Wufang was even more right to teach the concubine son and daughter a lesson.Besides, Xiao Mingxuan's brother and sister are really a bit clueless.

It's just that the minds of Xiao Mingxuan and his brother are extraordinarily complicated, Xiao Mingye was hit hard, although Xiao Mingxuan knew that he had to keep his own place, but there was always an unyielding energy in his heart.Just waiting for the opportunity to explode.

After [-] days of lingering, all the people in Xiao's residence turned their backs on their backs.Monks and Taoists come and go, and the whole Xiao Mansion is full of smog.

Finally, on the day of the funeral, the Xiao family put in a lot of effort and must do everything perfectly on the last day, so that the world can see the filial piety of the Xiao family.

Xiao Mingyu was exhausted, and there were dark circles around her eyes.In the past half a month, I haven't slept a full night's sleep. I can rest for three or two hours at most in twelve hours a day.The rest of the time was smoldering, and the whole person was uncomfortable.Xiao Mingyu hurried, if it didn't end, she would definitely lie down immediately.

Finally, the coffin of Mr. Xiao was sent to the temple. After the last ceremony, the Xiao family got on the carriage and returned home.

After returning home, without saying a word, everyone played it back and fell asleep.As strong as a man, they are too tired to bear it, not to mention the wives and girls, all of them are pale, like seeing a ghost in the daytime.

Xiao Mingyu slept in the dark, except for getting up during the meal, she would sleep soundly on the bed at other times.If you don't sleep, you can't. If you don't sleep, Xiao Mingyu will feel that he will die in the next moment.After sleeping for three whole days, he finally recovered a little energy.After taking a good shower and changing the three-way water, I am satisfied.

After washing, put on filial piety clothes, and went to see Mrs. Han.

The Han family wears heavy filial piety, and at least wait until the hot filial piety passes before they can get rid of heavy filial piety.Cheng Ge'er is too young to be listed here, but he still wears a hemp rope around his waist.

Xiao Mingyu ate with Han Shi, obeying the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, and no one spoke all the time.After eating, Xiao Mingyu accompanied Mrs. Han for a walk in the courtyard to digest food.Xiao Mingyu said with emotion, "It's finally over."

Han nodded, yes, it's finally over.If it doesn't end, people will be exhausted.

Narcissus came in and reported, "I have seen my wife, girl. The fourth wife is checking the accounts, and she said that there is something unclear in the accounts. This meeting is arguing with the eldest wife."

Xiao Mingyu asked, "Is there a theory to come up with a result?"

"Not yet. The fourth wife invited the wife to come over, saying that she is asking the wife to be fair, and let's re-count the accounts together." Narcissus said.

Xiao Mingyu asked, "Where is the elder, isn't he in the mansion?"

Narcissus said, "Master went out early in the morning, and he probably won't be back until dark."

Xiao Mingyu looked at Han Shi and asked, "Mother, are we going there?"

Han asked back, "Ming Yu, what do you think?"

Xiao Ming said, "Eldest Uncle is not here, even if we name a flower, it is useless. Go, we must go, but not now. Tomorrow, Eldest Uncle will be at the house tomorrow, when the three houses Get together and take a good inventory of the accounts to see what went wrong. By the way, I remember that the fourth aunt made a lot of preparations, not only sending people to guard the account room, but also sending people outside to inquire about various prices. After making such sufficient preparations, why are there still some unclear points in the accounts?"

Han sneered, "It's hard to understand. If you haven't experienced these things, you naturally don't understand. There are so many places to spend money on this funeral, and the grades of various items are also very different. For example, the yellow watch Paper, there are five cents a knife, and there are five taels of silver a knife. The people who buy it are either from the big house, or those people left behind by the old man. Those people report the account casually, and the accountant can’t find out. If you are not an expert, who It can be seen that there is a difference between a single piece of yellow paper. Besides, these items have already been used up, and there is no way to check it even if it is an investigation. As for the merchant, you can't send someone to the merchant to inquire for a small amount of money. And The merchants may not answer truthfully. Besides, the Xiao family needs face, and your fourth aunt would not dare to make a fuss outside and be laughed at by others. If it really goes out, how will the Xiao family be in the capital in the future? A foothold? You have to know that people in the capital are all about face. Mere money is definitely not as important as face."

Seeing that no one invited Mrs. Han, Mrs. Liao knew that today's meeting with Mrs. Tan would not lead to a conclusion in theory.So temporarily truce, wait until tomorrow to fight again.

In the evening when Xiao Maolin returned home, Mrs. Tan told Xiao Maolin about this matter.Mrs. Tan had a displeased face, "For the sake of the old man's death, the people in our first room are exhausted. The fourth room doesn't appreciate our kindness. It's only a few days, and it's really unreasonable to have to settle accounts and find fault."

Xiao Maolin ignored Tan's complaints and asked the housekeeper to bring the ledger first.For Mr. Xiao's funeral, there is a special ledger to record the daily expenses.

Xiao Maolin opened the account book and frowned.It actually cost nearly 3 taels of silver.Doesn't this mean that the big house will pay more than 1 taels?This is too much.Xiao Maolin put the ledger in front of Mrs. Tan, "Tell me honestly, is this ledger tricky?"

"Doesn't the master believe in the concubine's body?" Mrs. Tan was extremely wronged, "For the sake of the master's death, half of the concubine's life was put in it. In the end, I didn't get a hard word, but was still suspected. It's really embarrassing. It's chilling."

Xiao Maolin was very impatient, "Okay, now is the time to talk about that. There are no outsiders here, tell me, is there any problem with the account book? You also know that the old man specified that 5000 taels will be left for the funeral, and the four rooms and the five The houses also paid 5000 taels each. All the extra will go to our big house. Now it costs nearly 3 taels. Doesn’t it mean that our big house has to pay more than 1 taels. Please explain to me clearly, what is this account book? what happened."

Mrs. Tan glanced at the account book lightly, and said: "What else can happen? The people in charge of purchasing below reported false prices, and the accountant had no way to picket them one by one, so they let those people take advantage of the loopholes. As for how much money was embezzled, The master asked about the identity of the concubine, but the identity of the concubine is not clear. But the master opened his mouth, and the identity of the concubine will naturally have to be checked. After all, our eldest wife can’t be taken advantage of. Why only 5000 taels for the fourth and fifth rooms, our eldest It will cost more than 1 taels.”
