The Queen's Concubine can't be provoked

Chapter 148 Two Stewards
Hearing Su Qin's words, Madam Wan, who was in charge of the kitchen, exchanged glances with Guanshi Zhang, who was in charge of purchasing, and in the end, Guanshi Zhang, who was in charge of purchasing, said, "Returning to Second Miss, the young one has been in the mansion for five years. Madam Wan entered the mansion earlier than the young one, probably six or seven years ago."

After hearing what Zhang Guanshi finished speaking, Su Qin nodded, and a smile appeared on his lips, which was quite interesting. This Mammy Wan had obviously been in the mansion longer than Zhang Guanshi, but it happened that the person who spoke was Zhang Guanshi, not Madam Wan, who is more qualified.

"The two of you have been stewards since you entered the mansion?" Still with a smile on his face, Suqin looked at Madam Wan and then steward Zhang, and then asked with a smile.

"Back to Second Miss, the young ones were all promoted to be in charge three years ago." Although he didn't know why Su Qin asked this, but Zhang Guanshi began to answer with a smile.

"So that's the case." Su Qin nodded. Three years ago, that is to say, after the death of his mother Wei, they became stewards. Obviously, these two belonged to Shen.

"It's okay to ask you to come here. One of you is in charge of purchasing, and the other is in charge of the kitchen. They are both important errands in the mansion. I don't know if you two know that from today onwards, I will be responsible for all the affairs of the mansion. Do you want to intervene in management?" When he said this, Su Qin looked at the reactions of the two, and seeing that they seemed a little surprised, he knew that Shen hadn't told them about it.

As Su Qin guessed, the two of them really didn't know what Su Qin said, but after all, they were old there, and they had been in charge for several years, and they had already learned how to mediate their emotions, so they were only surprised for a moment, then recovered It's normal, but Suqin noticed a detail, that is, Madam Wan seems to pay attention to Guanshi Zhang's words and deeds.

"Second Miss, please tell me something."

It was Zhang Guanshi who spoke again. Suqin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I don't have any orders. As I said just now, the two are in charge of important errands in the mansion. Why don't you simply report to me?" report, or just send your account books directly.”

Su Qin knew that the stewards of each position would actually have separate ledgers to record what they bought or used on which day and at what time, so that it would be convenient for reconciliation with the accounting office.

"The account book..." Guanshi Zhang hesitated, "I wonder when the second lady will want it?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, this account should be ready-made, right? Why is it difficult to look at Zhang Guanshi?" Looking at Zhang Guanshi, Su Qin smiled and said, but his voice was faintly oppressive.

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment, the small one will be delivered in a while." There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Originally, Guanshi Zhang wanted to discuss with Shen before sending the account book. Now it seems that, It is unlikely.

"Well, Ji Xiang, you run with Zhang Guanshi. If it's cold today, don't bother him to run back and forth." As if to verify Zhang Guanshi's thoughts, Suqin spoke again, following Ji Xiang's instructions.

"Yes, I will obey. Manager Zhang, please." Ji Xiang replied with a smile, then looked at Manager Zhang, and made a gesture of please.

Glancing at Suqin, seeing her gaze fell on Madam Wan, Guanshi Zhang had no choice but to sigh silently in his heart, and then followed Jixiang out of the room.

"Mother Wan, you must have an account book, right?" Seeing Steward Zhang leaving, Mother Wan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Suqin's voice sounded, and she quickly responded.

"If you go back to the second lady, the old slave has an account book, and there is an account book."

Looking at Madam Wan's appearance, a dark light flashed in Su Qin's eyes, "Why do you seem a little nervous looking at Madam Wan? Could it be that I'm scary?"

From the looks of it, Mammy Wan seems to be very dependent on Guan Zhang, otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted like this.

"Where is there?" Hearing what Su Qin said, Madam Wan became even more nervous, and even stuttered, but she adjusted quickly, "The old slave also has an account book in his hand. If the second lady If you need it, the old slave will get it for you now."

"Succeed, Miao Xin, you can go along with me." Since they said they had to pay the account book, Suqin didn't have the desire to investigate further, so she turned her head and gave Miao Xin instructions, and then watched the two leave room.

"Qin'er, Nanny Wan and Guanshi Zhang are so strange." Apparently, Wei Jiao also saw something wrong between the two of them.

"I think so too. Nanny Wan's qualifications are obviously older than Guanshi Zhang's, but Guanshi Zhang speaks about everything. Not only that, but I also noticed that Nanny Wan seems to care a lot about Guanshi Zhang's words and deeds." Hearing what Wei Jiao said, Su Qin nodded, "Just now I dismissed that steward Zhang first, and Mammy Wan obviously became nervous, which is a bit interesting."

The two sisters chatted casually, and soon, Ji Xiang, who left first, came back holding the ledger.

Asking Jixiang to put the ledger on the table, Suqin flipped through one at random, and the ledgers on it matched those brought by Li Cai. To be exact, there was one big ledger and one small ledger, two ledgers are exactly the same.

I also know that if there is no problem with the books, it is necessary to ensure that the large account and the small account are unified.

Looking at the egg three cents and the meat fifty cents a catty, Su Qin felt like laughing. Shen must have read this account. I really don't know why Shen, who has always been smart, would allow such an account to exist in On the ledger, do you think that this Xiangfu will only be controlled by her alone?
Just as she was thinking, Miao Xin also came back with the account book. Su Qin flipped through it casually, but found that the kitchen account was obviously not as detailed as the account book and the account book.

Maybe, I can start with that Wanmao...

The reason why Su Qin thinks so is because she saw Madam Wan's attitude today, and the second is because of the account book. From the account book, Su Qin can see that Li Cai and Zhang Guanshi are relatively strict people, although the account book There are loopholes, but overall, it's pretty good.

But this Wanmao...

Not to mention anything else, let's take the hot pot that I ate yesterday as an example. These all need to be prepared by the kitchen. Suqin still remembers what happened yesterday very clearly. Some of the above records were never seen last night.

Since it didn't appear, why did it appear on the ledger?Such a question is indeed worth pursuing.

"Look at you, what are you thinking about?" Wei Jiao's voice sounded, Suqin came back to her senses, and told Wei Jiao what she was thinking in her heart. Mammy should be easy to deal with, if my cousin uses her for surgery, it might be the easiest...
