Tens of thousands taels, this is really not a small amount. Xi Honglei remembered what Hua'er had told him before, that all the financial power in Xi Mansion was in the hands of the second lady. I wonder if this matter is related to
Are these two ladies more or less related?
"Dad, who has the store's account book now?" Xi Honglei thought for a while and asked aloud.
"It's in my study, what's wrong?" Xi Yuanshan frowned and looked at Xi Honglei in confusion. Hearing Xi Honglei boldly say that she wanted to see the account book, Xi Yuanshan didn't even think about it.
He refused straight away. "You are a girl, why should you read the account books!"
There was an irresistible majesty in Xi Yuanshan's words. Xi Honglei looked at him with a slight smile, then looked at Lin Wanru who stretched out her hand to pull her and signaled her to stop talking, and then she honestly shut her mouth.
, changed the topic. But if I don’t talk about it now, it doesn’t mean that Xi Honglei has completely let go of this matter. After dinner, when the sky gradually darkened, Xi Honglei found the place of Xiyuan Mountain alone.
The study room once again appeared in front of Xiyuan Mountain.
Closing the account book, Xi Yuanshan pressed his temples with a headache, leaned back on the chair, looked at Xi Honglei in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to see me for?"
"My daughter came here to help my father." Xi Honglei responded to Xi Yuanshan with a smile. When he saw Xi Yuanshan frown and was about to scold him, Xi Honglei quickly interrupted Xi Yuanshan.
Yuan Shan's thoughts were ahead of Xi Yuanshan's and he said: "My daughter not only wants to help her father, she also wants to help her mother."
Xi Honglei's words made Xi Yuanshan suddenly startled and froze there. And with Xi Honglei's next words, Xi Yuanshan had to re-examine his little daughter.
"Dad, I don't think you have a clear idea of how Honglei and mother have come together over the years. Now that Honglei is so old, he may not be able to live in this Xi Mansion for a few more years. But
Honglei wants to see her mother live a good life before she gets married."
Xi Honglei spoke a few words slowly, then walked slowly to the desk, looked down at Xiyuan Mountain, and said: "Dad, I believe you have been feeling sorry for your mother all these years, but you have always been
There is nothing I can do. Honglei wants to help you and do something within his power. Can't dad fulfill his daughter's filial piety?"
"You are a girl, how can you help?" Xi Yuanshan was a little moved by Xi Honglei's words, but he still kept a straight face and did not relax at all.
Xi Honglei ignored Xi Yuanshan's sharp gaze, picked up an account book from the table, looked at it for a while under Xi Yuanshan's surprised gaze, and then asked: "These accounts belong to the shopkeepers of each shop.
Remembered?"
"That's right."
"Usually, the monthly account books will be handed over to Dad, or will they be sent to others for verification?" Xi Honglei continued to ask with a hint of something in his words.
"They are all sent to me. Things in the court are usually busy, so I just take a quick look and put them aside. But in recent months, I have found that the money in the store is getting less and less, and there is even a profit and loss. Carefully
After checking, I found that there was something wrong with these account books."
When Xi Yuanshan talked about business, he couldn't help but look a little sad. Over the years, his business has grown bigger and bigger, and he was really busy alone. He wanted to hand over the business to his only son, Xi Jiabao, but this son
Sitting around all day without looking serious at all made Xi Yuanshan really uneasy.
