"I won't cry until I see the coffin!" Chen Yunchu threw the account book at Butler Meng's face, but still felt unhappy, and scolded sternly: "Let your dog's eyes widen and look at the items you listed in and out items How many taels of silver are different? How many taels of silver are there in the bill? You repeatedly withdraw it! The wife asked you to help me, butler, not to let you perfunctorily treat me, but someone came to drag Butler Meng down and reward him with ten boards first! ”
"Yes!" The two stout mothers in Wutong Garden have long disliked Butler Meng. In the past, they have been bullied by Butler Meng and her mother-sister brothers and sisters, especially Meng's mother, who is in charge of the cost of the mansion, because they are because When they were unfilial to themselves, Meng's mother deliberately deducted their food. They were driven to Wutong Garden, the most influential Wutong Garden in the mansion by Butler Meng at that time. Now, Wutong Garden's Jiaojiaozhang family is the high-ranking Meng The butler also fell into their hands, how could he have good results?
Although Butler Meng is a slave of the Chen Mansion, as the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, he has always been less than one person in the mansion. No matter which slave in the courtyard, he will give him some thin face, even the mansion. The most domineering fourth concubine and the most powerful Shen Sanniang in front of her wife, often sending beautiful slaves to sleep with him. Now in Wutongyuan, he said that he would be beaten if he was beaten. It was reported that he would not be a human being, "Jiaojiao, I don’t know where I did it wrong!”
Chen Yunchu raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Butler Meng has managed the Chen Mansion for many years, and he can't even calculate the most basic accounts. No wonder you have made the house so messy. Today I will teach you what it is to be a slave. Divide, pull it out and beat it hard!"
The two women were familiar with the road. They took out a piece of dirty cloth from somewhere and stuffed it directly into his mouth. One of them grinned and showed his crimson teeth and sneered: "Butler Meng, slave, There is never any serious attack. If you hit you so much, you will have to bear more burdens.”
Butler Meng's mouth was blocked, and he could not help but agree or not. As soon as he made a "whip" sound, the board had fallen. He felt that his butt seemed to have been opened and sweat from his forehead instantly emerged.
After the ten-board beating, the two women dragged him to Chen Yunchu like a garbage version. "Jiaojiao, the ten-board beating has been finished. Butler Meng has shown no sign of pleading guilty yet, but you should continue to fight?"
Chen Yunchu raised his hand, "Thank you two for your hard work. I will add the roast duck from Judezhuang to you tonight."
Butler Meng hated Chen Yunchu and poisoned her. Meng's mother was killed by her stick. They had already made enemies, but now she held him down and beat him ten times without saying a word. She slapped him in the face in front of the whole mansion. ,How should he gain a foothold in Shen’s Mansion in the future?
"Butler Meng seems to be dissatisfied with my punishment!" Chen Yunchu looked at him with a smile and pointed to the account book in front of him. "The account book says that 7 farms and 5 shops earn a total of 10,600 yuan a year. The cost of silver was 1,800 taels for each court in the mansion, and the cost of each court was 2,300 taels. The cost of the court was 3,200 taels for the exchanges, and the remaining 3,300 taels were made. Extra expenditure, explain to me what additional expenditure is!”
Butler Meng suddenly felt nervous when she heard her chanting income and expenditures so skillfully. He really didn't expect that Chen Yunchu could say it accurately with a simple glance, and this was just for his perfunctory purpose. Yun Chu made a fake account, so he couldn't stand the careful consideration. He is now extremely glad that Chen Yunchu was too lazy to read the thick books, so he only asked him to make a general list, otherwise Chen Yunchu would be able to see the mystery in the account. .
"If you go back to Jiaojiao, the extra expenditure means that the owner of the mansion spends money during the holidays. For example, if the second wife is on the second wife and the day of the hairpin, then the Gongzhong will naturally take out dozens of taels of silver for the second wife. Inviting guests to create jewelry, this expenditure is considered an additional expenditure." Butler Meng endured the pain on his body and explained. He understood that Chen Yunchu was simply a powerful character. He should have thought of it for a long time. Ordinary people How could he fight with his wife for half a round? Not only was the aunt not dealt with by Wei, but he also made Wei's headache. Although he was the housekeeper, he was a slave after all, so he was no match for the aunt!
"This expenditure will be omitted in the future!" Chen Yunchu took the tea cup handed over by Cui Ya and took a sip of the tea. "After you go back, you will give the number of slaves in the palace, the grade and the number of silver for the examples of the slaves. I listed it in detail. I want to see where the silver in our Shen Mansion is used. There are 1,800 taels of silver, and the purchase cost. There are two concubines and four girls in the mansion, even if the old lady is included, it is included in the old lady. With my wife, how can I use 2,300 taels of ration? If I find out that you fool me, be careful that I will peel your skin and go back and reorganize it!"
"Jiaojiao, the porridge is hot, are you using it now?" Cuiya saw Chen Yunchu's face was not good, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "You have time to use lunch, and now it's time for dinner, so you should also If you eat something and accumulate some energy, you will be busy, otherwise you will be exhausted and the old lady and her wife should feel distressed too!”
"Come here!" Chen Yunchu knew that she was angry at the Shaoshi Mansion, so she was unwilling to let her worry about her anymore. Moreover, after hitting Butler Meng's ten-pills, she felt much more relieved.
Chen Yunchu pinched the porcelain spoon in his hand and gently stirred the porridge in the bowl. The fragrant aroma of the meat porridge suddenly filled the entire flower hall. She took a few sips, then glanced at Butler Meng who was kneeling on the ground and said softly. Instructed, "Since it's almost time for dinner, don't be wronged by Butler Meng. Chunyan, you called the servant to come and see the wound for Butler Meng, help him clean it, and then send two little girls to the big kitchen to Butler Meng brought his meal to Wutongyuan and asked Butler Meng to have a meal in the wing room, and then he quickly settled the account for me!"
"Yes!" Chunyan left.
Butler Meng trembled all over, his face became paler, and he said with a sob: "I really don't dare to lose weight. I am willing to clarify the accounts without dinner."
"Is Butler Meng going to trap me in a place of injustice?" Chen Yunchu knew what he was afraid of. He smiled and looked at the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in confusion: "Butler Meng is very inconsiderate to his master! If you don't have it, you The matter of insisting on keeping accounts was passed to my mother for dinner. My mother thought that I was harsh on her confidant. If it would lead to the incompatibility of our mother and daughter, wouldn’t it be a big blame for Butler Meng’s diligence and loyalty?”
Butler Meng kowtowed, "I don't dare!"
"Butler Meng will go down and let someone show you the wound. Don't get infected. I will save your life to help me organize the account books. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to buy such a person as I don't know how to buy it if I don't know a few words. Solve the problem of silver shortage!" Chen Yunchu waved his hand, and the two women immediately understood and dragged Butler Meng out in an extremely thick way (here to be harmonious here).
Cuiya looked at Chen Yunchu drinking porridge slowly, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jiaojiao, Master Xun said that if you sincerely want to cook porridge for him, you will deliver it to him in person. He also said, you'd better not starve yourself to death at this time, otherwise his arm would not be able to move and he could not write an epitaph with you, so it would be better to leave this bowl of porridge for you to eat."
"Jiaojiao, I didn't expect that Master Xun was very polite to you on weekdays and wanted to curse you. I really misjudged him!" Cuiya twisted the Juanpa in her hand angrily.
Chen Yunchu's move to pick up the food, and after a while, he stuffed the lettuce into his mouth. His eyes were radiant and he started chewing hard, "He likes to eat or not, so I'm too lazy to beg him to eat, it's him. Ignore me for now, now I want me to take the initiative to come to him to ridicule him. I think it’s so beautiful!”
When the food was almost done, Chen Yunchu suddenly asked, "What else did he say?"
Cuiya looked at her Jiaojiao and carefully said her experience of going to the Shaoshi Mansion, including Xun Yang's expression and tone, all of which came out of the tray. Finally, she carefully advised: "Or it would be Jiaojiao." Let's go tomorrow. After all, the young master was injured for Jiaojiao. This incident has been spread for a long time. On my way back to the mansion, I heard the people talking about this matter several times. If Jiaojiao didn't go If you do, you will probably have a bad reputation without conscience!"
Chen Yunchu thought about it. Since this matter has caused a lot of controversy, she should show her attitude of respecting the teacher and repaying her kindness in terms of emotion and reason. However, she was unwilling to let her take the initiative to go to the Shaoshi Mansion and was ridiculed by Xun Yang. However, if she didn't go, she would not want to. , It's really unreasonable. After thinking about it, she had to find a compromise. "Cuiya, the day Princess Shanyin left, she invited me to visit the Xiangwang Mansion. Now you can have someone send a message to the Xiangwang Mansion. He said I would go to Xiangwang Mansion to thank Master Xun for his life-saving grace."
Not long after Chunyan called the servant to clean the wounds for Butler Meng. The wound was on his butt, butler Meng's face turned into a pig's liver. The most important thing is that the news of his being beaten to the board had spread throughout the mansion. He hated Chen Yunchu to death in his heart, but he had to act convinced on his face.
After the two little girls from Wutongyuan led three food boxes and placed them in the flower hall of Wutongyuan, Chen Yunchu slowly walked over and opened the food boxes and asked, "Are these dishes from Butler Meng? You guys Didn't you get more than two?"
A smart little girl looked at Chen Yunchu and replied with a trembling courage: "Reply to Jiaojiao, I just went to the kitchen to help Butler Meng get dinner, butler Meng's wife, the seventh concubine, happened to be going to pick up Meng in person. The butler's dinner, the slave quickly told her Jiaojiao what she meant. She didn't want it at first. Later, Chunliu, the maid next to Sanniang, said something to her. She gave us the food box of Butler Meng, so It shouldn't be wrong."
"Since it was personally carried by Butler Meng's favorite concubine, there would definitely be no mistake." Chen Yunchu's eyes showed a sarcastic smile, and he walked to Butler Meng and asked, "Butler Meng is about Chen's Mansion." If you have merit, you can eat better than ordinary slaves. It is also worth it, but you eat better than the master in the mansion. Who sets this rule?"
