The old man stopped talking about this topic, pointed to the documents that Yin Le brought over and asked: "What are these?"
Yin Le said: "The expense list of the silk and satin shop."
"Expenditure slip? What is an expenditure slip?" the old man asked confused, because in the past, expenditures only required payment at the accounting office, and then the accounting office kept accounts. At the end of the month, the account books were handed over to Mu Rentong for unified accounting, and then presented to the old man for review.
.
"The expense list is the money spent by the silk and satin shop during this period, such as lamp oil, fire wax, shop rental and labor costs, etc." Yin Le said.
"Store rent?" The old man picked up the receipt suspiciously and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw that the store rent was paid this month.
"Who issued these documents?" The old man put down the documents and asked cautiously.
"A Tian." Yin Le said, A Tian is the manager of the silk and satin shop. In the past, the old man rarely went to the silk and satin shop, and he lost about a few thousand taels of silver every month. When Mu Rentong showed him the account books, he saw that they were about the same every month.
So I didn't pay attention.
"This store belongs to the Liu family and does not need to pay rent." The old man sneered, "A Tian is so brave, he dares to lose my money? I don't think I trust him so much."
Yin Le looked at the list and said: "The list was given to me by Atian, but all the expenses were paid by the old aunt, and all the wages for purchasing and selling the goods went through her hands. However, she spent this time in the tea garden and did not
They knew that I had implemented all expenditures and had to issue invoices, but they didn’t know that Ah Tian had already truthfully issued invoices for all expenditures in the store and returned them to me.”
The old man stared at her sharply, "How long has this situation lasted?"
"I checked the accounts with Director Mu today. In the past few years, although the account books did not clearly indicate the expenditures, the money that was almost lost every month was not far away. In other words, it has been like this in the past few years." Yin Le
Opening the account book, she marked all the expenses incurred by the silk and satin shop.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, then checked the expense list again, and sneered: "Okay, I can't even trust this person." He threw his pipe on the ground angrily, and the pipe purred.
The ground rolled two feet away and landed under the Eight Immortals Table.
The housekeeper quickly picked it up and said comfortingly: "Old man, calm down!"
Yin Ledao: "Also, I asked Atian why the store's business has not been doing well for a long time. It's because the goods we buy are inferior goods. Although the colors are bright, the material quality is very poor, and customers basically won't come.
Buy. However, I looked through the account books and found that the goods purchased by the silk and satin shop in recent years are basically the best silk and satin from Suzhou."
"You mean, she passed it off as a good one?" The old man came closer and looked at the purchase price in the ledger.
Yin Le took out a piece of fabric from under the receipt and handed it to the old man, "This is the best fabric in our store. It sells for three taels of silver and one foot."
The old man took it and looked at it, and immediately sneered, "This kind of fabric is worse than what our servants wear, and it is sold for three taels of silver per foot, are you crazy? Not to mention three taels of silver per foot, even if it is three taels.
A piece of silver is far from worth it."
"So, the silk and satin shop has never had business, and it is just a joke in the capital." Yin Le said.
The old man never paid attention to the silk shop, and would occasionally order Liu Yanxiang to come and take a look. The steward A Tian thought that Liu Yanxiang was in charge of the silk shop, so he only explained everything to her. He also felt strange before and reacted to Liu Yanxiang, but Liu Yanxiang said
The old man kept this shop just as a way of remembering his late wife and not wanting to make money. Ah Tian didn't know the thoughts of rich people. Anyway, he was paid every month, so he and his clerks didn't care about it.
It wasn't until Yin Le took office and personally visited the silk and satin shop and raised questions that he informed Yin Le one by one. And it was only at this moment that A Tian knew that the old man kept the silk and satin shop. Although it was a thought, he was not willing to lose money.
of.
"No wonder, I thought before that even if I kept losing money, I wouldn't lose so much. It turned out that she was the one who was causing the trouble. In the past, I only thought that she was a girl's family, caring, and knew her mother's thoughts, so I turned this family into
I gave her the management of the silk and satin shop, but I didn't expect that she would make a big fuss and use the silk and satin shop that I opened for her mother to make money. How can my Liu family fail to deal with her?" The old man was so angry that his hair and hair grew wild, and he cursed loudly.
The housekeeper was also speechless. In the past, he saw that his aunt was very well-behaved and sensible in front of the old man, and she always thought about everything from the old man's point of view. He was secretly glad that the old man had a caring daughter. Although she was not his biological child, she was better than his own.
"Because it involves your daughter, I'm here to ask you how to deal with it. If someone in the store was haunted, I would have dealt with it long ago." Yin Le said.
The old man said angrily: "How else to deal with it? Deal with it how you want to deal with it, check everything, how much money she has passed, and let her spit it out."
Yin Le hummed, slowly packed up her things, and asked, "Why did you come to me?" She remembered that he had just ordered the housekeeper to call her over, and he must have something to tell him.
The old man closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said: "I came to you because I wanted to talk about Qi'er's marriage. The Deng family said that they would double the gift money. Originally, the money matter didn't matter.
, but I just feel that the old man of the Deng family and I have been friends for many years, but they care about the gifts. It seems that he is clearly bullying Yan Hui, the head of the family."
Now the second master Liu An's wife Yan Hui takes care of everything in the family. After the gift money was sent, it was returned intact. The Deng family said that their daughter was very precious and they had to double the gift money.
He would not be laughed at by outsiders. Yan Hui did not dare to make up his mind, so he asked the old man for advice.
Originally, the gift given by the old man was already very high. Besides, he never cared about money when marrying his granddaughter-in-law. However, the attitude of the Deng family made the old man very unhappy, as if their daughter was a golden branch and his grandson was superior to her.
Yin Le said calmly: "You mean you want to regain your breath?"
The old man hummed, "Money is not a thing to me. This matter may not be what Mr. Deng means. I have been friends with him for so many years, and he will not embarrass me on this matter. Probably
This decision was made by Deng Ning's father, Deng Ping, who is now the owner of the Deng family's gold jewelry. You have always been resourceful. In short, as long as you can regain your breath, it doesn't matter how much money you give, but I just can't lose face and let the Deng family
Look down upon.”
"I understand. I'll find Yan Hui later and ask about something." Yin Le said.
The old man's face softened slightly, he paused, and then said: "Let's leave that matter alone for now."
Yin Le didn't react for a moment, "What's the matter?"
The old man sighed and said slowly: "It's about your aunt. I have been dreaming about my wife these days. I remember that when my wife was on the sickbed, I had very little time to take care of her because of my busy business.
She is not a filial son, but she is also not sensible. It is Ayan who has always taken care of her, served her carefully on the sick bed, and fulfilled her filial piety. For this reason, give her a chance and remind her when the time is right. If she
If you continue to be stubborn like this, it’s never too late to do something about it.”
Yin Le understood, she didn't say anything, she just said calmly: "Yeah!"
