Chapter 41 Making a fuss in the Account Room (1)

Chun Mei Wen Yan immediately pointed at a ruby and a piece of jade and said," Concubine mother, look at this ruby and jade. They have quite a lot of weight of weight. It's a good occasion to have two heads. You are now the master of the manor. You should n' t lose the dignity of our manor in front of outsiders. Don't you think that our lord is stingy?"1

Han Xuerou said," That makes sense."

He nodded and asked the waiter to remember.

The two innkeepers of Golden Jade Pavilion and Silken Square looked at each other in surprise, and they could not figure it out.

Although Liu Yuan didn't have a wife, there was more than one female master in the manor.

The eldest madame had lived for over 70 years, so she was naturally the most honorable woman in the manor. However, the second aunt and the third aunt were not blessed and had died more than ten years ago.

There were still three concubines living in the manor. Although they didn't need to fight for favor, they still had to fight for what they were wearing. Liu Yuan was afraid that the three concubines would turn into a pot of porridge and disturb the old parents. Therefore, the family members in the manor were divided.

Generally speaking, jewelry was sold once a year in the spring and autumn seasons. Three sets of clothing were made each quarter, plus five taels of money per month. The days were calculated very well.

Occasionally, there would be exceptions that would be reported to the head housekeeper Wang mama in the manor, and then Wang mama would report them to Liu Yuan. There was no way that she would have to do anything she liked like Han Xuerou.

After Gong Fu for a while, Han Xuerou asked for a set of jade head and face, a set of red precious stone face, a pair of East Pearl, Tourmaline, Yangzhi Jade, and pink crystal earrings, as well as five golden steps to shake. They needed some jade, blue, silk, and gilding techniques.Two pairs of hollowed-out pearl dragon phoenix bracelets, one jade bracelet, one agate bracelet, five plain silver hairpins, and over ten plain silver bracelets.The total amount was over ten thousand taels of silver.

This wasn't enough. She even selected twenty pieces of cloth and customized ten sets of clothes.

It had to be known that it was only summer. Her clothes for the entire season had been treated like a year.

The two managers of the Golden Jade Pavilion and Silken Square wanted to say whether it would be inappropriate to do so, but when they thought about how they had been called into the Han Xuerou courtyard after passing the steward of the manor, they thought that Liu Yuan had spoken, so they didn't dare to neglect them and memorized them one by one.

After picking out the jewelry and clothes for the whole morning, Han Xuerou was tired as well. He waved his hand and said," This is all for today. Qiu Shuang and Chun Mei, you two bring the two managers to the cashier to withdraw the deposit. I'm tired. Let's rest for a while and Dong Xue will send the guests off!"

A light flashed through Qiu Shuang Wen Yan's eyes.

She had long seen that Han Xuerou was spoiled and had an outstanding temperament. She didn't seem to be from a small family, so how could she not understand the rules? She had picked so many things at once, but it turned out that she was holding it in. She could n' t help but smile.

The two innkeepers didn't know why. They had been in the Liu family's business for several decades and had always settled their accounts when they delivered the goods. Now that Han Xuerou actually asked them to settle their accounts, what was going on?

However, they were all smart people. There was no reason why no one would give them money. They made a list and went to the account room with Chun Mei and Qiu Shuang.

Han Xuerou asked for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Based on the ten percent deposit, it would be more than five hundred taels of silver.

However, Old Master Zhao saw the two shopkeepers come to collect the money and said in surprise," The money in our manor has always been for delivery and settlement. We also have time to make preparations. Why do we have to pay in advance today?"

The two innkeepers glanced at each other and their faces were troubled. It was Shopkeeper Li who first said," You've misunderstood. These 1,300 taels are not the full amount, they' re just the deposit."

Mr. Zhao Wen Yan dumbfounded." What did you say?""Deposit?"She looked at Qiu Shuang and Chun Mei and said," Did that new aunt empty the Golden Jade Pavilion and Silken Square?"

He couldn't be the winner of this matter. He asked the two innkeepers to wait for a moment and ordered a small waiter to quickly run over to report to Wang mama.

Mother Wang was drinking tea in the room. When she thought that she had only said a few words and the Liu family's two elders were so angry that they wanted to drive Han Xuerou out, she felt a wave of joy in her heart.

And this Liu Yuan was worthy of being brought up by her. Last night, she and Han Xuerou quarreled so badly that he left the country the next morning. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with her.

Thinking of this, she became more and more pleased. She cursed," Little whore!""You dare to fight me? Pui!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the clerk in the counting room hurriedly ran over and shouted," Grandma Wang, Grandma Wang, Mr. Zhao has something to ask you to come over. He said that he can't do anything, so he wants you to decide."

Wang mama was almost fifty years old, but she wasn't a master in the manor, but she was more like a master. As a result, all the young servants and servants in the manor called out Wang grandma.

Seeing that he was running out of breath, he said with a stern face," What are you running around for? How can you bump into someone?""Speak slowly."

The maidservant Mingyue beside Wang mama quickly brought him a bowl of hot tea.

Fu Gui took the tea and drank a few mouthfuls before agreeing to the matter." My master's name is Golden Jade Pavilion and Silken Square's shopkeeper to make clothes and jewelry for the newly-advanced concubine mother. It's nothing at all, but the amount is too frightening. Just the deposit alone will cost over 1,300 taels. My master ca n' t make up his mind and let me ask you!"

Wang mama was Wen Yan stunned!"One thousand three hundred plus two?"Wouldn't that be thirteen thousand taels of silver?What was that little whore doing?"Did the money from being our grandfather come from the wind?"

That little Fu said," That's right. Our manor only spends a thousand taels of silver a season. There's only so much money available in the accounts. Give it all to him. How can we live?"

The authority of the manor's account room was limited. The person who could handle it was only one to two thousand taels of silver. The sect leader of the manor had Wang granny who was in charge of it, and the shopkeepers of the shops outside were in charge of it. When the end of the year was settled together, if they were to withdraw such a large amount of silver at one time, they would have to take it from Wang granny.

However, in the past ten or so years, Liu Yuan had rarely asked about the money in the manor, let alone taking it. In her opinion, the money was no longer any different from hers. Now, Han Xuerou girl who had only been here for a day was going to drink blood from her body. Wasn' t that taking her life?

Thinking of this, Wang mama no longer held back. After calling someone, she rushed towards the cashier.

The accountant was worried about what to do. Seeing that Wang mama had arrived, he felt as if he had found the backbone of his heart:" Wang mama, you' re here. These two innkeepers said they wanted to withdraw a deposit of 1,300 taels, but we only have 1,500 taels left in the accounts. How could this be good?"

The two of them were old acquaintances in the manor. Wang mama didn't put on airs. She glanced at the old man in the cashier and said," Oh?"What did he buy?"You want such a large sum of money?"

Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to be negligent and quickly handed over the list he had made.

Wang mama didn't look closely, but when she saw it, she almost died of anger. She gritted her teeth and scolded," Has she never seen clothes or jewelry?"Was it made like this?It was fine with the golden onyx. Why did she need so many silver hairpins and silver bracelets?"Also, it's already September. She' ll be making autumn clothes soon. She's making ten sets of summer dresses. Can she wear them?"
