Ah Si told Yuan Qingling that Wu Zhuangyuan and Yuan Yong had met three times.
Yuan Yongyi accidentally became a martial artist when he was out for an outing. They rescued a child together and that's how they got to know each other.
After getting acquainted, they also met once in a jewelry store on West Street. At that time, Wu Zhuangyuan went to buy a birthday gift for his mother, and he happened to meet Yuan Yongyi who was also shopping in the store.
The third time they met, Wu Zhuangyuan went to propose marriage, and Leng Qingtou actually went along on his own.
"My grandmother actually thinks that he is a bit dull, not smart enough, and doesn't understand the style. But my sister said that it's a good thing not to understand the style. As for what he needs to do to be so shrewd?
If you are dull, then just talk less between husband and wife, and she agrees with it."
"She just wants to find someone to quickly forget about Lao Qi."
"Yes, she heard someone say before that the best way to forget someone is to find another person to replace him. This was what the Crown Prince told King Qi, but King Qi didn't listen. My sister did."
Yuan Qing was so angry that Lao Wu thought he was an expert after becoming a relative?
I dare to act as a love professor.
"Sister Yuan, please stop trying to persuade her. I have tried to persuade her, and many people in my family have tried to persuade her, but she just won't listen. Just let her go. It's not an option for her to keep thinking about King Qi like this. People always have to look forward.
King Qi seems to be unable to let go of Chu Mingcui. No matter how she wakes up now, if she waits for another three to five or seven years and finds that she is still like this, won't she have wasted her years even more?"
Yuan Qingling did not expect that Ah Si would be so thorough and sophisticated. His ideas were much more mature than when he first came here. It seemed that everyone was growing up in the past year or so.
Ah Si also became a big girl in an instant, and the childishness in her eyes faded a lot.
She suddenly realized that Ah Si was also old enough to get married.
"Well, maybe you are right. With Lao Qi, it is not impossible for Yuan Yongyi to wait for three to five to seven years. Moreover, the most worrying thing is that you are waiting for him here, and he finally comes out.
, and also fell in love with other women, that would really kill people."
She stood up and said, "Let's go and send you some money every month. The prince was sneaking around just now. He looked like a ghost at first sight. Let's go over and keep an eye on him."
Ah Si covered his mouth and snickered, "The prince is so sneaky, isn't he just trying to hide a few more coins?
I’ll probably ask Mr. Tang to tamper with the expense account.”
Yuan Qingling also laughed. This was something Lao Wu could do, and it was useless.
When we arrived outside the accounting room, there were already many servants waiting. When they saw Yuan Qingling arriving, they were all very happy. They all saluted and shouted: "Hello, Princess!"
"Hello everyone!"
Yuan Qingling is fully playing the role of Caiye now and is very popular.
Entering the accounting room, a pile of broken silver and some copper plates were already placed on the table. Xu Yi was responsible for weighing the items, while the accounting room was responsible for recording and writing the figures, while Yu Wenhao and Tang Yang were checking the monthly expenses and income accounts.
Seeing Yuan Qingling come in, Yu Wenhao gathered his cloak subconsciously, "Here you come?"
Sit down first, check it out, and I’ll show it to you later.”
"OK."
Yuan Qing Ling said, she and Ah Si sat down and helped put the weighed silver into the bag.
After Yuan Qing Lingzi called, ordinary servants would be given a month's worth of money, and she would often choose to give out one tael of silver.
In fact, one thousand cash is slightly higher than in other mansions. Nowadays, silver is so expensive in the Northern Tang Dynasty that one tael of silver can be exchanged for up to 1,200 cash. In other words, the wages of servants in the Prince of Chu's Mansion are about five hundred cash higher than those in other mansions.
As for the pile of copper coins placed next to it, it is the bonus set by Yuan Qingling. After a month, as long as you are not punished, you can get a bonus of fifty cents. However, if you make special contributions or do well,
The bonus can range from one hundred to five hundred yuan, depending on your management record.
Ah Si took a book and asked people to come in to collect the monthly payment. They made the monthly payment bags themselves, with their own names written on them. After taking them away, when the monthly payment was about to be distributed next month, they handed over the money bag.
Go to the accounting office.
"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Prince!"
The servant took the monthly instructions and left happily.
After all the ordinary servants have received their money, it is time for the stewards of various fields. Generally, stewards receive two taels of silver.
Man'er and Qiluo are considered stewards of Xiaoyue Pavilion, and both of them have to receive two taels of silver plus a bonus of five hundred wen.
Man'er happily said to Ah Si: "I'll treat you to wontons later."
"okay!"
Ah Si blinked and said, "I'll treat you to roast chicken next time."
Ah Si now has a monthly salary in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and also in the Yuan family, so she receives two wages in total.
Ah Si had five taels of silver in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but she didn't want it at first, but later Yuan Qingling said it was for her pocket money, so she took it.
When it was Xu Yi's turn, Xu Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Princess!"
The heavy money bag was placed in Xu Yi's hand. Xu Yi opened it, looked at it, and immediately covered it. His eyes widened, "Oh my God, is this wrong?"
"Yes, twelve!"
Yuan Qingling said with a smile, "Take it, you have been working hard this month and accompanying me to the mountains and seas, you have worked hard too."
Yu Wenhao heard on the sidelines, glanced at Xu Yi jealously, and then asked: "He has ten taels, what about me?"
"You three are all twelve."
Yuan Qing threw it over, but Yu Wenhao caught it with one hand, somewhat dissatisfied, "Then am I not the same as Xu Yi?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "The annual salary of a sixth-grade local official is only 45 taels of silver. Your salary is 10 taels a month. Isn't that too little?
Your ten taels are just pocket money. You don't have to worry about all the food and drink expenses at home. Why isn't it enough?
I haven’t spent ten taels a month.”
Yuan Qingling checked the account book and found that the expenditure account had indeed been tampered with. The meat purchased every month had actually increased a lot. Most of the meat in the mansion was supplied by the palace, and what he needed to buy was very little. Here
They directly added money to the meat sent from the palace.
Yuan Qingling roughly calculated that Lao Wu had embezzled at least twenty taels of silver.
She didn't say anything, thinking that he was also the governor of Jingzhao now, so he wanted to treat his subordinates to a meal and a few drinks, just to socialize.
After sending out the monthly report, Yuan Qingling did the calculations for the construction of the school. It was found that all the money invested before was wasted because it was burnt and smashed and could no longer be used. He even had to hire people to demolish and rebuild it.
Fortunately, some people came to help without collecting cash, otherwise this would have been a huge expense.
The fourth master said that Shaotou Zui's silver would not be given to her, but he still asked someone to send it over. He only deducted a large part of it, but at any rate, he still made thousands of taels of money, which was really good.
Yuan Qingling allocated some money and gave it to Tang Yang to arrange the porridge shed.
Since the porridge shed run by Chu Mingcui collapsed, Yuan Qingling has had to do it several times a month, but Tang Yang has been left to do it, about four times a month and once a week.
After everything was settled, he and Lao Wu returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion.
There was an earth dragon in Xiaoyue Pavilion and it was very warm. Yuan Qingling glanced at him and reached out to take off his outer clothes. Yu Wenhao jumped back three steps and looked at her warily, "Don't touch my clothes."
.”
"Isn't it hot?"
Yuan Qingling asked funnyly.
"Not hot, cold!"
Yu Wenhao hugged her tightly and said, "I haven't taken a shower yet. I'm going to go to the ghost pool."
"I'll go with you!"
"No, I want to be alone tonight and take a bath to think about the case!"
After Yu Wenhao finished speaking, he ran out immediately.
Yuan Qingling knew that all his private money was hidden in the ghost pond, so he ignored him. A man who didn't hide his private money was not a good man.
