Chapter 1166 is over

In the main hall of the Ning family, the white-haired Mrs. Ning, Mr. Ning, Mrs. Ning and Ning Ruyu were all sitting on chairs with serious expressions.

The second wife of the Ning family stood in the room with her head lowered.

She didn't know what was going on. Her mother-in-law and the people from the eldest family suddenly wanted to check the account books. She couldn't hide the things that the master had done even if she wanted to.

Mrs. Ning and the people in Dafang have all read the account books, and at this moment they only have one thought in their minds, that is, the Ning family is going to be finished.

The public's money is not even two thousand taels, and the income of the shop outside has been pitiful in the past six months. If this continues, how can the Ning family maintain such a big family.

"You, this is how you manage your house?"

Mrs. Ning pointed at her second daughter-in-law with her trembling right hand and questioned.

Because the eldest son has to study and has no time to manage these general affairs. It is not good for a woman to do business matters. The eldest daughter-in-law also has a gentle temper and cannot be suppressed.

She just handed over all business matters and the family to the second house manager.

When she first handed this family over to them, the father-in-law still had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Although their family has a lot of expenses, at least one or two thousand taels of silver are spent every month, but the shops outside and the rent in the fields also bring in an income of three to fifty thousand taels of silver every year, which is enough for them.

The whole family spent a lot of money.

But in just ten years, the Duke only had two thousand taels of silver left. What would two thousand taels of silver be enough for?

Ruyu is about to get married, but with the state of her family, she might not even be able to prepare a suitable dowry.

Mrs. Ning Er lowered her head and said nothing, not feeling that she had done anything wrong. The public house originally had a lot of money, but business has been difficult in the past two years. Some shops, not to mention making money, have to use the public house's money to put money into it.

stick.

Prices have also increased in the past two years. The big house and the old lady have to eat and drink well, pay attention to ostentation, and prepare gifts for relatives and friends during the holidays. All of this costs a lot of money.

The elders and the old lady are not familiar with the price of firewood and rice. Today they want to eat old man's ginseng stewed chicken, and tomorrow they want to drink eye sockets. The money in the family has been burning especially fast in the past two years.

Although my husband took 50,000 taels of silver from his business half a year ago to partner with others to buy stones, he also wanted to make a lot of money from the stones and earn more money for his family.

The two of them had worked so hard for this family over the years, and nothing had been left behind. Instead, they were blamed by their family members. Just thinking about it made her feel very aggrieved.

Mrs. Ning was even more furious when she saw that the second daughter-in-law couldn't beat her with three sticks.

"The second master is back."

Let the boy guarding the door run into the main hall to report.

Mr. Ning said in a deep voice: "Let him get out of here."

It is said that an eldest brother is like a father. Their father is gone. As the elder brother, he can naturally teach the younger brother on his father's behalf.

His younger brother had lost all the money in the family. How could he study peacefully and take the imperial examination?

Besides, he passed the Jinshi examination this time. If he wants to find a good official position, he needs money.

The younger brother lost all the money in the family, leaving only two thousand taels. This little money was not enough for him to go to the imperial city to take the exam, let alone manage it.

Hearing that the uncle asked her husband to come in, Mrs. Ning Er felt very uncomfortable. What did he think of her husband?

After a while, the second master of the Ning family, wearing a blue brocade robe and smelling of alcohol, walked into the main hall with wine burps.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Ning and the people in the main house all frowned.

He lost so much money and didn't tell his family, but still went out drinking like a normal person?

Now that the Duke only has two thousand taels of silver, he can still afford the wine.
