Di Shi panicked because there were still so many years of account books left.
"Actually, it's not just the silk and satin shop, but also several other shops. The shopkeepers often keep the account books from several years ago, just because they are afraid that at this time, they will not be able to explain clearly, so they can just look at the account books, Duan Mammy, please open a box and let Madam take a look."
The old lady raised her eyelids and said casually.
"Yes, Madam!" Sister Duan came over, reached out to open a box, took a book and handed it to Di: "Madam, please see if there is your seal on it, and if there is any mistake!"
Di took it subconsciously, turned it over, and immediately found her seal. This ledger was not fake. She staggered and almost fell down.
How could she not know that those shopkeepers still kept these account books! What's more, I didn't expect that the old lady had expected this step of hers early and was waiting for her here!
"If you still want to see it, I can show you all the account books of several other shops. Once they are sorted into boxes, they will be sent to you. From this, you can see whether our house has invested any more money in the future. , what is the profit after that, and how much is the expenditure of our General’s Mansion in these years!”
The old lady said coldly, her eyes glaringly falling on Di's face, and she spoke almost word for word.
"Madam!" Nanny Zhou had a look of panic on her face, and reached out her hand to gently pull Lady's sleeve.
"Mother... Mother, if you don't believe me so much, why should I look at it..." Di covered her face with a handkerchief, looking heartbroken, but she no longer dared to cry like crazy when she started making trouble, and her momentum immediately weakened. Come down.
"Putting things aside, Di, do you want to say anything else?" the old lady continued to ask.
"Mother... But I have been in charge of the backyard of the General's Mansion for so many years. There is no credit but hard work, right? Mother, if you take all the money away, how will my mother and I live?" Ms. Di lowered her head and cried, refusing to leave. , looks so miserable!
She made such a big fuss today and found that nothing happened. How could she give up
"After these silver taels arrive in Beijing, they will buy shops, and then they will give you two separate shops." The old lady slowly said, "You also had your own dowry shop in the capital before, so it can be considered as a dowry shop in one place. A lot, besides, everything in this mansion belongs to you, so there is nothing to worry about."
When Di got married, there were several shops with her dowry list. Later, after Di left the capital with Qin Huaiyong, those shops remained in the capital, under the care of Tuoyong-Kangbo Mansion. The old lady had seen Di's list. There are quite a few shops above.
"Mother, am I still in charge of my shop?" Di said, wiping her tears. Although she was unwilling to give in, at least she still had some thoughts.
"Of course you are in charge. The government will not care about you and your dowry shop. I'm afraid you will have a busy time after leaving the capital for so many years and repacking your own shop!" The old lady said with a faint eyebrow.
"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law will work hard to clean up her shop and then help her mother handle the affairs of the house." Di said aggrievedly.
Qin Wanru's eyes swept across her face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly remembered a past incident about Di's dowry.
But in her last life, she was really useless, so she just heard a rumor and didn't know whether it was true or false.
"Mother, the wife is resigning!" Mrs. Di knew that this was the old lady's biggest concession, so she quickly resigned herself to it, stood up and resigned to the old lady.
"Grandma, those maids and mothers-in-law who followed the trend and knocked over my mother's things are really disgusting. Madam got angry and misunderstood, that's all. Those people followed to join in the fun. Grandma came faster. If she came slower, A few, are you going to hit your mother?"
Qin Wanru walked to the old lady and reminded her softly.
"Mother..." Madam Di panicked, yelled nervously, and glared at Qin Wanru fiercely, intending to condemn the servant she brought here!
If he is really convicted, no one will dare to follow him or listen to his words in the future, and Shui Ruolan will not be allowed to be treated as a superior person in this mansion.
The old lady's eyes flashed, and before she could speak, Grandma Duan on the side spoke: "Old madam, what the second young lady said is absolutely true. This kind of thing must be done according to the rules. The master has misunderstood something or done something wrong. , I have to persuade and stop you now, but you can’t do anything stupid, otherwise you will be picked on by a servant, and there will be no peace in this mansion!"
Aunt Duan said it for the sake of helping the old lady manage things. She was originally the head of the people in the inner courtyard. What she said was very in line with the rules. No one could find any fault with it, and she was completely speaking from the perspective of an outsider. The position says.
If it was Shui Ruolan who wanted to punish the servants brought by the Di family, it would not be as fair as what Qin Wanru and Aunt Duan suggested. What they said was just right!
"Mr. Di, there is no rule without rules. Anyone you bring here, as long as they have smashed things in this yard or beaten people in this yard, go and get a ten-stick. You are a master yourself." "You don't need me to teach you about this kind of thing!" The old lady nodded.
"Yes... my daughter-in-law obeys my orders!" Di gritted her teeth, but had no choice but to agree.
After saying this and bowing to the old lady, she turned around and left with a panicked Nanny Zhou.
Aunt Zhou walked in a panic, even walking close to Di Shi, for fear that the old lady and Shui Ruolan would notice her. Although she had not made a move just now, she was Di Shi's confidant. If she wanted to beat Di Shi, she would Her confidant was the most dangerous, so she didn't even dare to say a word at this moment, and just followed Di's footsteps closely.
"Grandma, do you have many dowry shops in Beijing?" Qin Wanru asked curiously, blinking her big eyes after Di Shi left.
"She is the legitimate daughter of the Yong-Kang Bo Mansion. Her dowry at that time was indeed quite large. Except for the shop left in the capital, she should have everything else in her hands." The old lady nodded.
"How many are there?" Qin Wanru looked more and more curious, stretched out her hand to hold her white and tender cheeks, and looked at the old lady with interest.
Looking at the pink and tender little granddaughter, the old lady felt a little better and said casually: "There should be about ten families. Grandma has forgotten the specific number!"
"So many?" Qin Wanru sighed in surprise.
"She was Yong Kangbo's only legitimate daughter at that time. The dowry was naturally large, and the capital's income was more than Jiangzhou." The old lady replied nonchalantly, and then looked at Shui Ruolan: "Ruolan, are you okay? Right? It makes you feel wronged!"
What was discussed today was that Qin Huaiyong took the silver from Di, but in the end Di's blame was all on Shui Ruolan.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with me!" Shui Ruolan shook her head gently. Since she had such an idea at the beginning, she had already calculated that Di would make trouble with her.
Di didn't dare to go to the general and the old lady to make trouble, so she would definitely come to her place. Qin Wanru had warned her before and asked her to be careful.
Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Wanru with soft eyes, but saw that this girl was actually in a daze, and couldn't help but smile: "Wanru is young, but she is scared?"
"Mom, I'm fine!" Qin Wanru said with a slight smile.
She was really not scared. She just felt that the Di family in the previous life did not have that much money. With so many years of income from the shop in the capital, plus the repurchase of the shop by the General's Mansion in the capital, how could the General's Mansion not care about it? If Liuyou is not rich, he must be very rich, and the number of people in the house is thin.
But she heard that in her last life, Di had to secretly borrow money from loan sharks. When Qin Yuru got married, was Di so poor at that time
The shops in the General's Mansion were sold out, and General Ningyuan wanted to mobilize his defenses. The news of leaving Jiangzhou also spread with the sales of these shops.
As a colleague for many years, many officials began to invite Qin Huaiyong out for entertainment and farewell. Qin Huaiyong was almost absent from the government recently.
The Di family had been in trouble before, but they have been very peaceful recently. There have been no more evil girls. Shui Ruolan supervises the people in the house to clean up. The days are passing quickly, and half a month has passed in a flash.
It was also time for General Ningyuan's Mansion to officially leave the ground of Jiangzhou.
Early in the morning, the carriages were ready, and everyone took away all the things they wanted to carry. Then there were the carriages for people. The old lady and Qin Wanru were in one carriage, and Di Shi and Shui Ruolan were in one carriage. The carriages, as for the other servants, were taken away in several large carriages, and they all left together.
As for some people who were not under death contracts in the first place, they were given money to allow them to return home.
Several big maids around Qin Wanru did not leave. Qingyue, Yujie, and Qingxue, who was not in high priority but still seemed well-behaved, and the second-class maid Qule also followed. As for Chu Liuchen Naturally, the Pantang Qianyan that she was asked to raise was also brought with her!
Before leaving, Qule took a leave of absence from Qin Wanru and went to her home. When she came back, she brought a small package, saying that it was some childhood things her parents had brought for her, and told Qin Wanru that Sad news, her two little sisters were also sold.
Regarding the situation in their family, Qin Wanru had no choice but to ask Qingyue to give Qu Le some more money. She admired Qu Le's father very much. It was really not easy for a servant to do this! He is indeed a loyal servant for ten years, but it is too miserable for his own family!
Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. I only hope that he can find his master as soon as possible. I also hope that he can redeem his daughters and reunite with his family, instead of selling his daughters and living in different places. He went to the mansion to inquire about his master. If he hasn't been heard from for so long, something must have happened!
Even if it was once on the ground of Jiangzhou, I am afraid that the bones will turn yellow!
As expected, Qi Baiyu and Qi Rongzhi also followed them into the capital. Several carriages were prepared at the Qi Prefecture. After joining the Qin Mansion's carriage, the convoy pulled far away and headed all the way to the capital.
In a courtyard somewhere in the capital, a beautiful young man in light fur lay sickly on a warm couch, his head leaning slightly against the cushion on one side, looking at the case file in his hand, gentle and harmless.
"They entered Beijing?"
