Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 208 Accounting
The chief officer hesitated for a moment, he didn't pay attention to the fourth son's affairs, so he didn't know the exact situation.

King Pingnan frowned slightly, and said, "How is the harvest of the fourth son and those Zhuangzi?"

"This?" The chief manager hesitated and said, "I heard that there were several disasters over there a few years ago, and the harvest seems to be inferior to ours."

King Pingnan snorted coldly, "I remember that there is a Zhuangzi in the Wangfu who is only a mountain away from the fourth son's Zhuangzi. What kind of disaster can only pick their place?"

The chief steward immediately bowed his head and remained silent. At first he also thought that those stewards were too exploitative, but the fourth young master kept silent, so it was hard for him to say anything, but he didn't expect that the prince would come forward, and he didn't know who would sue me. in front of.

The dowry left to them by the old concubine naturally used the original people, and these people were also relatives, so the relationship was deeply entangled.

The prince lost his temper on the spot. Naturally, someone told the stewards that the stewards originally wanted to write a letter for the younger generations to take to Anhui. The mother-in-law of the family went to the palace to greet the old princess, and on the other hand, she changed her clothes and went to Anhui in person.

King Pingnan was about to start some rectification, when he was called into the backyard by the old princess.

The old concubine closed her eyes slightly and knelt on the futon to recite scriptures. King Pingnan didn't dare to disturb her, so he had to stand behind her and wait.

The old concubine opened her eyes and didn't look back. She just offered incense to the Bodhisattva and asked, "I heard that you are taking care of your younger brother's affairs now."

King Pingnan was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a little annoyed, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, my son sees those slaves becoming more and more unruly..."

"Okay, I know they have no rules," the old concubine said indifferently, "It's just that you and the people under the second child are not like this, but his people are like this?"

That's not your fault.King Pingnan only dared to mutter in his heart.

The old concubine said: "If he can't manage a few Zhuangzi well, then what can he manage well? If he can't even subdue a few stewards, then why should he be a general? You don't care about this matter, what should you do?" Just let him go, we can't solve everything according to my brother."

King Pingnan disagreed and said, "Mother, it's not the same at all. Zhuangzi belongs to his younger brother, but Anhui is not his younger brother's. The life and death of those slaves depend on his younger brother's thoughts, but the soldiers under him are just his subordinates." Now, how can this be confused? What's more, brother Yun has been unable to understand these common affairs, so it is inevitably unfair to him."

The old concubine waved her hand and said: "I have made up my mind. Now that Wei Fu and the others have set off for Anhui, you don't care about this matter, and I don't care. You also said that the life and death of those slaves are all in his mind. Then What else is he afraid of?"

But the point is that Brother Yun doesn't know about this matter. Even if he acts with some respect because the other party is an old man who follows his mother, let alone Brother Yun?

It's just that King Pingnan never dared to disobey the intention of the old princess, even if he wanted to inform Brother Yun, he was warned in advance by the old princess.

King Pingnan smiled wryly, but he felt better knowing that his mother intended to train Brother Yun.

But Wei Qingyu in Anhui was not in such a good mood. She flipped through the account book in her hands a little dumbfounded, and asked the four stewards in the hall, "How much do you think a catty of rice seeds costs?"

Wei Fu stepped forward respectfully and said: "Go back to Madam, it's recorded in the account book, it's one tael of silver."

Wei Qingyu nodded, "This is recorded in the account book, I know, but I want to hear from you, tell me, how much does a catty of rice seeds cost?"

Wei Fu lowered his eyes and replied again: "One tael of silver."

Wei Qingzhen laughed angrily, "What kind of rice seed? Where did you buy it? How much land can a catty of rice seed plant? I glanced at the faces of the four people, and saw that they pursed their lips tenaciously, firmly believing that a catty of rice seeds is worth one tael of silver.

Wei Qingyu waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys think about it slowly, well, I think you are a little sleepy, why don't you go to the yard to wake up, maybe you can remember."

Wei Fu's face changed slightly, and he said in a choked voice: "Ma'am, the old slave has been serving the old concubine since she was eight years old, and she has never been slack in the past 50 years. It is also the old servant who does not want to disappoint the old concubine, so he asks to take charge of Zhuangzi."

Wei Qingzhen nodded movedly, "I am really touched by the relationship between Guanshi Wei and the old concubine, but does it have anything to do with the question I asked you to answer?"

Wei Fu choked, and said with a cold face: "If Ma'am is suspicious of the old slave, just resign the old slave, and the old slave will go back to find the old concubine..."

"Resign?" Wei Qingyu interrupted him, tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that I misremembered? Isn't Manager Wei's body deed in my hands? It turns out that Manager Wei was hired. "

Guanshi Wei's expression changed dramatically.

Wei Qingyu smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry about Guanshi Wei. I didn't say I was suspicious of you. I just think that one tael of silver can buy a catty of rice seeds." Wei Qingzhen tutted twice, shook his head and said: "I was afraid that Guanshi Wei would be fooled by people outside because of his age, so I asked where you bought it. I wanted to see what is so magical about that rice seed. You know, the fourth son and I I bought a few farms in Anhui, and they will plant them in the spring. If there are such valuable rice seeds, I would like to see them, but if someone dares to fool the fourth son on his head, you also know the temper of the fourth son. It’s easy to go to that store. I don’t know why Guanshi Wei made it so complicated with just a few simple questions.”

The three people behind Wei Fu looked at each other, and they all knew that today's test might be sad, but they didn't have a lot of worries in their hearts. The fourth son would definitely not agree with his wife's actions when he came back.These old people knew that the fourth son had been unwilling to sing against the old concubine.

Wei Fu obviously thought of this too, he took a deep look at Wei Qingzhen, turned around and stood in the yard with the three stewards, and Wei Qingzhen fell on his back in anger.

Wei Qingzhen couldn't help but said to Ali: "I've already said this, so I just admit my mistake and let it go? They are even tougher than me!" The temper came, "Since they like to stand, let them stand, go, and let steward Ren bring all the idle people in the house to come here to have a look, anyway, we can't stop people here."

Wei Qingzhen's face was condensed. During this time, Ren Wuyun had to go to the military camp as well as the Yamen. In his spare time, he had to bring the carved jade to sell.

Ren Wuyun was unwilling to sell those jades at a low price. He said he would give Wei Qingzhen 10 taels of silver, and he wanted to maximize the value of each one. In just ten days, he lost a lot of weight.

Wei Qingzhen looked very distressed, but just figured out the other party's psychological activities, Wei Qingzhen didn't want to hit him at this time.Originally, she had a lot of complaints about the management of the four Zhuangzi, but now she is even more angry.Her eyes flashed fiercely, she is not even afraid of killing people, is she afraid of a few servants who even have the power of life and death in her hands?If she hadn't cared about the old concubine in the capital, she really wanted to sell her like this, clean and neat.

Seeing Wei Qingzhen's plan, Madam Su was shocked, and quickly stopped her: "Ma'am, don't be foolish, they are servants who have been in the palace for many years, and they have many relatives in the palace. If it is sold, Madam will be put on small shoes at some point, and it is difficult to find out who did it, Madam will just punish them."

When Wei Qingzhen heard this, he missed the employment system in this world very much. If it is not suitable, people will be fired. How can it be used? It is so troublesome to think about it now.

Wei Qingzhen complained here, but they didn't know that the faces of Wei Fu and the others standing in front were all green. They didn't expect that Wei Qingzhen would call people to watch, and seeing the curiosity and gloating in those people's eyes, Wei Fu and others have lived together for most of their lives. I lost all my face.

The four looked at each other, feeling a little gloomy in their hearts, and Wei Fu looked in the direction of the backyard gloomily.Steward Ren accidentally saw it and shook his head inwardly.

He is a servant of Ren's family, and Guanshi Wei and others are servants of the old concubine's natal family. Although they are all serving the palace and the fourth son now, people on both sides have cooperation and competition. After all, there are only so many positions. Many, some people can stay in the palace, while others will go to Zhuangzi.

Wei Fu was such a group of people back then, so the old concubine has always been tolerant to these old people. Seeing Wei Fu and the others, Steward Ren confronted his wife. Steward Ren, who thought he already knew Wei Qingzhen, mourned for them in silence. .

Although Madam is usually very approachable, she will consider and adopt what everyone says, and likes to leave the things in her hands to the people below, and does not value rights or anything, but once Madam's bottom line is violated, she will be like a furious tiger , He will never be merciless to those who spy on him.

What happened to Mrs. Liu last time is a proof, and the last time a little maid took the young master to the side to play privately, but because she didn't hold on tightly, the young master accidentally knocked on the rockery, and the madam almost didn't even think about it. That little girl was sent to Zhuangzi.

Manager Ren knew that if Miss Ali hadn't said that the girl who was sold had almost no good places to go, he was afraid that the little girl would really be sold out.

Counting on the fourth son?Steward Ren looked at those people pitifully, and now the fourth son is the only wife who follows her lead.

Ren Wuyun came back happily at night, handed the box to Wei Qingzhen, and said arrogantly: "This is the last batch, look, what I said is right, what I said is 10 taels, there are 10 taels."

Wei Qingyu looked at his bulging chest and asked, "What's hidden in your clothes?"

Ren Wuyun took out the things wrapped in oiled paper and told A Li, "Hurry up and bring the little tiger. This is Yongji's bun. I wrapped it specially and it's still hot."
