Chapter 40

comparison

Just two books of account, there is not a small amount of money used on them. What is not recorded in the account.

Think of here, song Shuqi's brow tightly wrinkled up, no, I want to clear all the accounts tonight.

"Bi..." Song Shuqi turned around and saw that Bi trace was yawning, and the corner of her mouth was helplessly hooked, "Bi trace, you go to bed first."

Hearing the young lady calling her name, Bi trace suddenly woke up, "young lady, I'm not sleepy, I'm with you."

Song Shuqi shook her head, "no, you go to bed first."

Looking at BI trace, song Shuqi said with a smile, "don't worry, I'll go to bed after a while. Go quickly."

"Miss, the slave girl went down first. If you have anything, please call her." Bi trace still has some hesitation, but when seeing the young lady's persistent eyes, he slowly retreated.

After Bi trace left, song Shuqi moved all the books to her face, and then began to check the books one by one.

It was dark, but looking at so many problems in the accounts, song Shuqi was not tired at all.

It never occurred to song Shuqi that the Song family is also rich in gold and jade. A lot of money is missing and there is a serious imbalance between revenue and expenditure. Does father never look at these accounts?

And song Shutong's mother and daughter used so much money. Doesn't father know?

Song Shuqi thinks it's impossible. Maybe her father wants to turn a blind eye. But for a long time, the Song government will certainly lose money.

Until the end of the sky, song Shuqi finally checked all the accounts.

Song Shuqi got up, moved her body, looked up at the light of the early sun, and rubbed her eyes. It was such an hour.

The accounts have been sorted out clearly, the income and expenses are indeed out of proportion, and there are hundreds of taels of silver missing. Thinking about this, song Shuqi decides

When it's dawn, I'll ask the maid beside my mother.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Miss..." is the cautious voice of Bichen.

Bi Chen stands outside the door, holding a wooden basin in his hand. Seeing that there is no movement in the room, he guesses that the young lady hasn't woken up yet. He'd better come back to the party. Just as he is about to turn around, the door is opened from inside.

Bi trace's face showed a touch of surprise, "Miss, how did you get up so..."

Before he finished speaking, Bi Chen saw that the young lady was still yesterday's clothes, and his tone was a little worried, "young lady, you were not yesterday night..."

Song Shuqi nodded, "I'm ok, Bichen. Go and find the girl who came back with you yesterday."

Looking at the young lady's appearance, Bichen turned and walked, but after two steps, he scratched his head and came back, "young lady, is it a little early to go now?"

At this time, even the girl in the mansion just got up.

Song Shuqi is obviously aware of this problem, nodded, "then wait until after breakfast to go."“ Good Bi trace said, carrying a wooden basin to the room, "Miss, I'll wait for you to wash first."

Song Shuqi nodded, busy all night, really should wash a face sober.

"Miss, you can't stay up late like this. It's too bad for you. No matter what, you should focus on your own health." Bi Chen sighed and worried, "if I had known this, I would not have come back with these books..."

Hearing Bi Chen's whispering, song Shuqi smiles. She has no words, but she is sad in her heart.

Wait until after breakfast, Bi trace will run away, not long after, took a little girl back.

"Here you are, miss."

Song Shuqi nodded and looked at the little girl who was trembling and didn't know why, "how many years have you been with your mother?"

"It has been more than ten years since I reported back to you."

It's been a long time. Song Shuqi nodded, "if I ask you something, you must answer truthfully."

Looking at the little girl nodding, song Shuqi slowly said, "you have been with your mother for such a long time, you must have seen her keep accounts. Has her mother ever been careless?"

"Never." The little girl answered quickly and definitely, but let song Shuqi pick eyebrows.

"How can you be so sure?"

"My wife always keeps accounts clearly, and she will check at least three times every time. No matter how much money she has, she always keeps accounts. For so many years, my wife has never been wrong. My master has praised my wife for being careful many times." The little girl said, with a little pride in her eyebrows and eyes.

Song Shuqi listened and nodded. She was even more puzzled. If so, what was the matter with the money?

"But..." the little girl seemed to think of something in general, with some hesitation in her expression.

"But what?" Song Shuqi frowned, "speak frankly."

"Yes, miss." That wench is busy of open mouth, "by the madam hand of, really is all write down, but if master alone reward, madam if don't know of words, should no longer account inside."

Hearing this, song Shuqi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Well, I already know. You go down first."

When the little girl went out, song Shuqi thought for a moment, got up and went out.

"Oh, sister, why do you come to me in your spare time today? It's a great visit." Song Shutong saw song Shuqi, Yin Yang strange said.

Song Shuqi looked her up and down, and directly explained her purpose.

"Sister, you know, my sister is going to attend the flower appreciation party in seven days, but I have searched all over the room, and I haven't found a piece of jewelry that I can hold. So I come here to harass my sister. Can I borrow two of them?"

Hearing song Shuqi's words, song Shutong's face flashed a touch of surprise. Originally, she thought song Shuqi would have some conspiracy and wanted to refuse. But when she saw song Shuqi's head down, it seemed that she was very embarrassed. Unconsciously, her face showed a bit of pride.

"Elder sister, you and I are sisters. Since my elder sister begged me so much, I would help if I could..." Song Shutong said. Looking at Song Shuqi's shabby appearance, she could not help but sneer. Soon, song Shutong asked Qiuhong to bring the jewelry box.

"Sister, you see, which one you like, sister, I will lend you generously."

Hearing song Shutong's words, song Shuqi only feels funny, but in order to pretend, song Shuqi can't help but wonder and envy, "sister, you have so many jewelry."

This sentence is true. When Qiuhong opened the box, it was so golden that it almost dazzled song Shuqi's eyes, although she didn't like it all the time

This kind of glittering jewelry, but song Shutong jewelry, or more than his imagination.

Seeing that song Shuqi has never seen the world before, song Shutong can't help but feel elated. "My sister flattered me. These are just a small part of it. Look at them quickly, sister. Can you catch my eye?"

Eyebrows and fundus are unable to cover the sense of superiority, even with the jewelry box of Qiuhong are unconsciously stand up straight body, as if with Rongyan.

Song Shuqi thanks, then takes some of the jewelry in her hand and looks at it. It seems that she is reluctant to put it down. Finally, song Shuqi takes a plain colored hairpin in the corner of the jewelry box.

"Sister, thank you very much."

Song Shutong only felt that his vanity had been greatly satisfied, and his eyebrows were broken

Tip fundus is proud, "sister how so polite, you and I but sister ah, if there is a need, remember to find sister."

Song Shuqi smiles gratefully. When she turns around and walks out of the room, the smile on her face disappears.

Just now I pretended that I was choosing jewelry. In fact, I secretly wrote down the patterns of those jewelry. When I went back, I would compare the accounts well.

After returning to the room, song Shuqi busily takes out those accounts and compares them carefully.

Finally, song Shuqi sighed a long time. Sure enough, as she thought, the jewelry was not recorded in the account. In this case, it must have been given to song Shutong by her father in private.

Song Shuqi doesn't know what it's like in her heart. Is she jealous? It is true that there is a little, but it is more sad. I feel sad for this family.

Bi trace looking at miss in a daze, can't help but come to comfort, "Miss, you don't have to worry, things can always be solved."

"What do you know?" Song Shuqi couldn't help looking at the green mark behind her.

Bichen shook his head in doubt. "I don't know what worries miss, but no matter what, it can always be solved."

Hearing this, song Shuqi smiles, and then sighs, "if I don't compare the accounts this time, I don't know that my family will..."

Song Shuqi hooked the corner of her mouth, "Song Shutong alone, many jewelry are not recorded, let alone Yu's there."

Bi trace smell speech, in the heart a surprised, "young lady, the account is really wrong?"

It's not only wrong, it's just amazing!

"It's more than wrong." Song Shuqi sighed, "if you don't stop it, I'm afraid the private property of song Shutong's mother and daughter will be worth the whole song family."

"Miss, what you said is true?" Bi trace covered his mouth, with a bit of shock in his eyes. Song Shuqi laughed bitterly. "It's greedy."

"Miss, you have to find a way to stop it quickly." Bi trace hastily opens his mouth, "otherwise the whole song family will not be killed by the second young lady at that time..."

Before he finished, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Song Shuqi slightly frowned, who will come at this time?

"Madam, I wake up. Please go and have a look." Outside the door came a little girl's voice, with a bit of joy.
