Mother Zheng calmed down and laughed as if nothing had happened. She asked respectfully, "please don't blame me for asking more questions. A hundred taels of silver is quite a lot. I don't know why she wants so much money?"
If this is an ordinary master, I'm afraid it would be displeased to be asked by the mother in charge. But Xiao Fei has always ignored these things in the past, so she doesn't care. She explains, "mother Zheng, I think there may be summer heat in southern Xinjiang this year, so she plans to offer herbal tea outside the north gate in some days."
Mother Zheng felt a little relieved, but at the same time, there was a flash of amazement in her eyes. She has been in charge of the elder sister for five or six years. She thinks of Shi Liangcha, which is the first time for her to get on the sedan chair.
Her shrewd Danfeng narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "you are so kind. I will take money for you. I just don't know how many days of herbal tea the girl is going to give? Are you going to transfer people from yuebiju to give tea, or do you want to borrow some people from the palace? "
Mother Zheng asked several questions in succession. Xiao Fei was stunned. She didn't think so carefully. She just had an idea.
Looking at Xiao Fei's expression, mother Zheng had a few ideas, and her heart was fixed a lot. She said politely, "big girl, how about writing a regulation for a girl like a maid?"
Xiao Fei nodded: "that will trouble Mother Zheng."
After mother Zheng Fu's death, she retired. On that day, she not only brought the one hundred Liang silver, but also presented the constitution of Shi Liangcha to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei looked at the list, and her eyebrows moved thoughtfully. She remembered what nangongyue had said to her when she was in the capital of the king: "elder sister, the servants can only be helpers. They can never take the place of the housewife to take care of the midget As the ancients said, they should live in their positions, secure their duties, and try their best to be honest and not exceed their degrees. It would be against the sage's instruction if we had to shift our duties to others... "
"Elder girl, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first."
Mother Zheng was about to step down, but Xiao Fei stopped: "mother Zheng, I want to see the account books of yuebiju in recent years, as well as the roster of people."
This sentence made mother Zheng's feet almost soften, and her heart turned a hundred times. This account book could not be taken out in any case. If it was a girl
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she was. Xiao Fei looked at her suspiciously: "mother Zheng, but what's the problem?"
Mother Cheng was busy and said, "there is nothing wrong with her. But at the beginning of the year, the little storehouse where the account books were kept leaked rain. Many of the books were either wet or soaked, and some were affected by the tide and had mildew. The maidservant did not dare to take it and pollute the girl's eyes. "
Xiao Fei's Willow eyebrows frown slightly, even if she does not care about these trivia, also feel some something is wrong. It's a coincidence.
Xiao Fei's cold eyes were sharp to look at mother Zheng and said slowly, "mother Zheng, in this case, please bring me this year's account books."
Mother Zheng's heart beat fast two beats, she knew that if she pushed again, the big girl would really be suspicious.
Mother Zheng took a deep breath and said to herself in her heart, where does the big girl know how to read accounts? It's just a whim. Even if you give it to her, she can see what way Their books can not be said to be seamless, it is also quite meticulous.
But even so, mother Zheng was still in a state of uneasiness, but she could only live happily and take orders: "yes, big girl. I will go back and get the account book
That night, yuebiju's several account books and the roster of the servants in the hospital since this year were put on Xiao Fei's book case. Xiao Fei picked up the roster and flipped through it first.
On weekdays, yuebiju's maids and Xiao Fei's main contacts were mammy Yi, mother Zheng, two first-class maids of Taoyao and Baizhou, and four second-class maids.
Xiao Fei had only vaguely known that there were still a few maids and maidens in her yard. After reading the register today, she was sure that they were four third-class maids, eight coarse maids and four rude maidens.
Xiao Fei thought of what, suddenly turned to ask: "tao yao, two younger sister, four younger sister, their courtyard is also like this?"
Taoyao, who was serving on the other side, explained: "the eldest girl, according to the rules of the palace, all the girls' courtyards are equipped with these hands. The second girl can only match one first-class servant girl, two second-class servant girls, two third-class maids, and four coarse-grained servant girls and two rude maidens in addition to the nurse and the steward mother-in-law."
"So my third sister and my second sister have different monthly routines?" Xiao Fei speculated thoughtfully. She and three younger sister is a legitimate daughter, since the courtyard of servants are different, that month's cases are very different.
Tao yao nodded. She always drew inferences from one instance when she was studying. In the past, she was not interested in it. Now when she starts to think about it, she will be able to understand it.
Xiao Fei put down the register, and picked up one of the books, this just opened a page, is a frown slightly.
Bai Zhou asked cautiously, "big girl, but what's wrong with the accounts?"
Xiao Fei shook her head, a cold light flashed in her cold eyes, and Bai Zhou blinked suspiciously.Xiao Fei turned a few more pages, but this time she was so quick that the two maids didn't see the contents of the account books. She was more confused and could not help looking at each other. Girl, what's going on?
Xiao Fei put down the one in hand, and picked up another one. She also flipped it quickly, "wipe it", and the paper fluttered quickly, making a subtle sound Xiao Fei turned over two or three books so that she didn't look at it any more.
She sat in the armchair behind the book case, her eyes were slightly in a trance, and she did not speak for a long time.
When mother Zheng told Xiao Fei that the account book of yuebi's residence year had been destroyed, Xiao Fei already felt something was wrong, but there was no basis for it. She had never done anything wrong. Xiao Fei also hoped that she had been too thoughtful.
But --
this is really unexpected!
Xiao Fei's mind is colder. I don't know whether she is more disappointed with mother Zheng or more disappointed with herself.
Over the years, I have been addicted to music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't care about everything. Unconsciously, I indulge all the people around me to this point. First, Mammy Yi, the nurse, and now mammy in charge How many things have been done by themselves, blind and blind all the time?!
Xiao Fei suddenly stood up and said, "let's go to Bixiao Hall..." Before she finished speaking, she changed her mind and said, "forget it, tomorrow morning. Taoyao, you tell the kitchen to steam some rose rice cakes in the morning. I'll take them to my sister-in-law. "
"Yes, big girl." Tao yao answered with a smile.
This night, the light in the small study had been turned off early, which also made people feel relieved. She knew that with the elm head of the second girl, she couldn't see anything!
The night flies by
The next day, Xiao Fei and tao yao, carrying a mahogany food box, went to Bixiao hall together.
When Nangong Yue saw several books of account which were taken out together with a hot dish of rose rice cake, she was stunned, and then a smile flashed in her eyes: Fei's sister, who always had a gut to the end, now learned to turn.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei first used several pieces of sweet, soft and waxy rose rice cake together, and then opened one of the account books. When these pages were turned down, they could not help but raise their eyebrows.
This account book is well done!
Fei's ability is getting longer and longer. She can see the problem.
Nangong Yue cocked his head and asked curiously, "sister Fei, how do you see the problem of this account book?"
Xiao Fei solemnly took the page that Nangong Yue opened and said: "ink. The ink in these books is new... " Mother Zheng is not at ease! Before she sent the account book to her, she made a new one, but I don't know that even if she dried the ink, the fresh ink was different from the old one.
As soon as she opened it, she could smell the new ink. What else can I see!
Even if mother Zheng's accounts were well done, what would happen? If it's no need to do it again!?
Thinking about it, Xiao Fei's eyes darkened again. Although she said that she was hateful to deceive the Lord, she was used to it. In the past, the elder sister-in-law was in charge of Wang Du's so large mansion, and she had never been in trouble. However, she was just a little yuebiju. However, such a few hands were not clear. No wonder the servants despised her and wanted to fool her and manipulate her!
If she wants to build up her prestige, she must first sort out this confused account. Otherwise, even if she confronts with mother Zheng, she will be fooled again and speechless.
Nangong Yue was stunned. The corner of his mouth was hooked and he laughed. The smile gradually spread from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, and he fainted in her bright black eyes
Fei is still so interesting! Poor mother Zheng is guilty of being a thief. She wants to make the account more perfect, but she doesn't know that she is lying on her feet! Originally, if Xiao Fei only checked the figures on the books, she might not be able to see the problems.
Yes, as the saying goes, "water flows thousands of miles to the sea.". There is more than one way to do something. She has her own way, and Fei's sister will have her own!
Magpie son in one side also can't help but cover his mouth to smile, probably in addition to the son of the prince, also only big girl can tease the son concubine like this!
The big girl is not Lily's lively and funny temperament, but sometimes her words and actions are very interesting Well, or different, people can't help but smile.
Nangong Yue motioned magpie son to move a chair over, let Xiao Fei sit beside her, explain with her carefully.
Xiao Fei nodded from time to time.
According to the rules of the palace, the servants of yuebiju, including the nanny, the steward, the maid, and the wife's sons, were all paid by the public. As a legitimate girl, she could get 30 Liang monthly in the public, which was quite reasonable. The ordinary girl's family could not only spend more money, but also have a lot left, but Xiao Fei was not.
Xiao Fei has to buy a lot of pen, ink, paper and ink stone, books and so on every month. Sometimes when she sees a rare book, she can't pay attention to the price. These elegant things are much more expensive than the snacks that little girls like to eat. For Xiao Fei, the monthly routine is often not enough. But she has Xiao Fang's mother who subsidizes her with ten Liang silver a month for holidays There are other silver.In addition to the money subsidized by Xiao Fang in the hands of mammy Yi, the money given by the public is basically in the hands of mother Zheng, who is in charge of the affairs. Generally speaking, Xiao Fei only needs to buy books and the silver is not enough, then she can withdraw some small silver from mother Zheng. In the past, mother Zheng always took out money without saying a word, and never pushed back. Therefore, Xiao Fei always thought that she was doing a good job, but she didn't want to
Xiao Fei pursed her lips bitterly.
Nangong Yue opened an account book in February, turned to the last page and asked Xiao Fei, "what do you think is wrong with this account book?"
Xiao Fei looked at the last number in the account book and shook her head helplessly: "I'm not here, and Taoyao and Baizhou are not here. The expenses of Biju this month are not less..." It's as if they had their own skills and lived in the palace. In February, the monthly silver of 30 Liang was only 5 Liang.
"And here..." She pointed to one of them. According to the account book, in February, yuebiju pasted all the window paper again. "It turns out that the paper used to paste the windows is as valuable as Xue Tao's and Wu Yun's autographs I usually use." Xue Tao, Wuyun and Liusha paper are the most valuable Xuan paper.
Hearing this, the magpie and the thrush exchanged a look in the dark, saying that the big girl did not eat the incense among people, but once it involved music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was really clear.
