Chapter 101: A Monk (Part 2)
Chapter 101: Pink Ticket 84o
Mother Tao's face suddenly turned red. She couldn't help but argue: Madam, I'm worried about my eldest aunt and you. She is so reckless in amassing money, I'm afraid she will do some tricks in the accounts. When the time comes, she won't be able to rely on us.
Auntie, I just left this mess on you. She got a benefit and we have to take the blame for her.
Eleven Niang said with a smile: The money in the inner courtyard should have been brought in by the secretary of the outer courtyard. The secretary should have two stewards who are in charge of the accounts of the inner courtyard. There are rules to follow for how much money is taken out, how much is used, and how much is left.
.Even if the accounts in the past two or three years are not clear, the eldest sister's taking charge of the family is not a matter of one or two years. The accounts in the early years should have been put into the treasury. Even if she wants to do some tricks, it will only be the accounts of the past few years. She
She wanted to turn over all the previous accounts, but she was afraid that her hands were not long enough to reach into the room. When she said this, she smiled, and her eagerness to reform did not offend our room.
The interests of others. If no one else talks about it, why should we step forward and take ten thousand steps back? The housekeeper of the third wife is decided by the Tai Madam. No matter how big a mistake is made, it is still the Tai Madam’s intention. How can we still make a fuss about fighting and killing?
Everyone knows that the third lady probably relies on this to dare to point and hit her randomly. Just sit back and watch.
Mother Tao looked at Eleven Niang, who looked calm in front of her, with shock in her eyes.
Didn’t the eldest lady say that she is young and has a calm personality, but she is also a bit cowardly? How could she know these things?
As soon as her thoughts flashed, she immediately realized that the eldest lady had seen the wrong person.
I'm afraid that Miss Eleven is at home, so low-key and restrained that the older lady who hunts geese all day will lose her sight.
Tao's mother was in a state of confusion. If she was full of confidence in completing what Yuan Niang told her before, now she is full of doubts. She raised Yuan Niang's breasts and followed her to the Xu family. I don't know how many things she has experienced.
. We deeply understand the importance of being prepared. Many times, we are able to escape unscathed because we are prepared. But now, how much has this eleventh girl revealed, and how much is hidden where they can't see? The real truth
What is the purpose? Will it be good to Brother Zhen? Everything makes her feel sweat running down her spine just thinking about it.
For a moment, she looked at Eleven Niang with alert eyes: Madam is talking about this matter, we still need to consider it in the long term.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile slightly as she watched Tao Ma's expression change from shock to confusion, from confusion to worry, from worry to forced composure.
It seems that her goal has become as complicated as the Xu Mansion. The only people she can use and let her use are the people left behind by Yuan Niang. She wants to cooperate with these people instead of being used by them or used as a shield.
.Then you have to show them your abilities. Otherwise, no one will take her words to heart.
So she simply took this opportunity to ask Mama Tao some more important questions.
Do you know how many properties Mr. Hou has under his name?
Tao's mother hesitated for a long time, her lips curled up, as if she didn't feel comfortable answering.
Eleven Niang didn't rush to ask, but said: Sanfang is so eager to make money. Don't you think it's strange?
Tao's mother's expression changed after hearing this, and she hurriedly said: Speaking of which, in order to support the emperor's succession, the old Marquis sold most of the family's property. After the second master died, the old Marquis felt that things were uncertain, and he would
The remaining property of the Xu family was divided among everyone, including the deceased uncle. Later, the old marquis passed away and the marquis inherited the title. The family was in chaos due to internal and external troubles. In addition, the wife was still there, so no one could go.
Bring up the matter of dividing the family. As time goes by, the family life gets better and better, and no one even mentions it.
Eleven Niang muttered: Do you know who holds the deceased uncle’s share?
Tao's mother said: I bought a sacrificial field at that time. The old marquis said that he would let future generations remember his merits.
How many acres are there in total?
Mother Tao's forehead was already slightly sweaty: the total is two thousand acres.
Two thousand acres. When the eldest wife bought herself a dowry farm, it seemed that one acre of land cost five taels of silver. Based on this conversion, each house can be divided into ten thousand taels of silver. In other words, the Xu family only has about fifty thousand taels of silver.
Possessions. This should also include real estate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other things that will be discounted once sold. What is actually distributed may not be 10,000 taels of cash. Looking at the Xu family now, only the furnishings in the green curtains,
The flowers and trees in the Taifu's yard are green all year round. Xu Lingning and Xu Lingkuan are both fourth-grade, with an annual salary of 360 taels of silver and 144 shi meters. Xu Lingyi received three salaries. Yongping Marquis
, One thousand three hundred taels of silver, five hundred and twenty-two shi meters per year, Prince's Young Master, 720 taels of silver and 288 shi meters per year, Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, five hundred and twenty-two taels per year
Silver, two hundred and ten stones. Just like this, sometimes the silver will be folded into silk
She couldn't help but look at Tao's mother with a smile: In other words, there are not many.
Tao's mother's face changed slightly when she heard this: Why haven't I thought about this in detail? I have always wondered why a smart person like Sanfang could jump around in such a hurry. It turns out that all the so-called money from the public belongs to our Lord Marquis.
I still have a second house. I want to buy a painting today and a vase tomorrow. I don’t feel bad spending a hundred or two thousand taels at all. I’m surprised. My eldest aunt has never been a stingy person. Why did she do it for money in the past two years?
He was angry with Mr. Hou. As he said that, he was already spinning around.
Eleven Niang's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this. She smiled and said: Don't worry, mom. Since the house has no money, all the dowries are from the Tai Madam. Maybe the Second Madam also used her own dowry.
Oops, what do you know? Mother Tao has become a little excited, and you have become you. When the second lady got married, it was just a small farm of 400 acres, with thirty-six dowries. I heard that it was just thirty-six
Some of the dowry fees were filled by the wife who used her own money to save face for the second wife. Later, when the second wife became a widow and had no children, the wife was afraid that she would have no one to rely on, so she divided her dowry.
The fourth and fifth masters each have a share. The second master’s was given to the second wife, the fifth master’s was taken out when he hired the fifth wife, and the marquis’s was never seen by our eldest aunt. When she married you,
There is no written record of how many acres of land should be allocated to you by the Duke, and the ten thousand taels of gold and ten hectares of fertile land that the Marquis got. At that time, my aunt was no longer here, and you had not yet entered. Where did this account go?
I don’t know, I said, and started to spin around, no, I have to find someone to go to the room to inquire about this matter. Brother Chen has a share of these properties.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Brocade and silk are touching. Xu Lingyi is not dead yet, no matter how hard someone kills or sets fire to fight for property.
Don't be impatient about this matter. She figured out what she wanted to know and said with a smile, so as not to make a fuss about Wuying.
Mother Tao heard the truth and suppressed the excitement in her heart. Eleven Niang saw that it was getting late, so she sent Mother Tao to the dowager's house.
The fifth lady hadn't arrived yet, and the third lady was holding the account book and was talking to the wife. When she saw the eleventh mother coming in, she stopped talking and smiled and saluted the eleventh mother.
She thought about what Mrs. Tao said about the third lady's plan to reform the kitchen system.
That's probably what he's talking about.
Eleven Niang returned the gift with a smile, then stepped forward to greet Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "My mother and sister-in-law three are settling the accounts. Then I will help Wei Zi and the others cloth the chopsticks." After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Tai's words, she turned around.
Went to the Western Room.
The third lady continued the topic just now: In this way, those people will be saved from quarreling over the meal. It will save a lot of trouble.
The madam smiled slightly when she heard this: Who is the big comprador in the kitchen?
The third lady's smile was a bit forced: It's Gan Laoquan.
The madam glanced at her and said with a smile: In that case, let's do as you say.
Well. The joy cannot be concealed and overflows from the face of the third lady.
But the Madam’s words changed.
The third lady immediately showed a nervous expression: "But you can just tell me, mother."
Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly: "However, for the menu, let each room choose what they like to eat, and then let the kitchen match it. Don't make your own decisions, just cook whatever you want."
What to cook.
The third lady hurriedly said yes, but her expression was a bit disappointed.
Now that everything is fine, go and help Eleven Niang lay the chopsticks. Mrs. Tai said calmly, she is young and has just entered the house, and you are the sister-in-law, so you have to behave well.
The third lady felt even more panicked. She took a deep breath, then stood up with a smile and said yes.
Mother Du, who was serving Mrs. Tai at the side, couldn't help but sigh.
The lady also sighed after hearing this: You want to ask me, I clearly know that she wants to make money, why do I let her do it?
Mother Du smiled and said: You have always been kind. This is because you pity the third lady, and you are afraid that she will have a difficult life in the future.
I don't pity her. The madam looks a little lonely. I pity Brother Qin and Brother Jian. She also said, speaking of it, she had to think of this method and used a lot of brains. It's a pity that her mind is used elsewhere.
The Eleventh Mother had dinner at the Madam's place, helped the Madam to sleep, and then went back to sleep by herself.
Holly was already waiting there anxiously: Madam, Da Nai said, she will find time to come see you later.
Well, the matter has come to this point and is irreversible. Since we can't break up, we not only need to discuss how to persuade the eldest wife, but also how to talk to Shiniang about this matter.
She woke up from a nap, but her big breasts hadn't come yet.
Eleven Niang was afraid that she would not be able to find her when Big Breast came, so she left a message and went to the Madam's house first, and she happened to be in the door just a moment away.
The lady just got up and said with a smile: This child is still pressing the button.
Mother Du was helping Mrs. Tai put on her shoes and said with a smile: No, this morning was the same as yesterday. Chen Zheng arrived in a quarter of an hour.
The madam said oh and raised her eyebrows.
Chapter completed!
