"Most of them are afraid of their master," Qin said, glancing at Aunt Liu, who was kneeling on the ground. "Or they dare not to threaten them."

"Sister, why are you so anxious to argue for these two people?" Qin yunuan smiled gently and said to mother Qiao, "you said that two aunts forced you to buy inferior goods. What else besides this charcoal? Can I have a receipt? "

Mother Qiao was stunned. She rubbed her finger against the apron around her waist and said, "maidservant I forgot that our Qin family and the merchants who buy the goods are regular customers. If there is no need, they usually pay the bill on March 1. "

"That's strange," Qin yunuan said with a faint smile, covering his Pa. "my mother just said that it's common sense to remember to make a backup for the bookkeeping. Two aunts were housekeepers for the first time. They were inexperienced, so they didn't have bookkeeping. But you just said that you've been responsible for the purchase of Qin family for eight years. I don't know that even the common sense of opening good documents for the purchase of goods?"

When Aunt Liu heard this, she straightened up and said sharply: "it must be you who are greedy for money and temporarily changed the inferior charcoal to get oil and water from it."

Qin Zhi was stunned immediately. He slowly put his eyes on this panicky mother Qiao. It was all her words just now. Plus now, there are no documents and books. It's really difficult to cure Aunt Liu and aunt Chang's sins. But because a basin of poor charcoal has set off such a big fire, which destroys his cave and burns flowers and candles. If he doesn't punish him, he can hardly get off the stage.

It's not appropriate to jump to conclusions before things are clear. Now Qin's quality is eight points ugly and very difficult to do.

"Since it's not clear on both sides," Qin yunuan said, picking up her eyebrows, "it's better to invite the boss of the shop directly, and then you'll know whether it's true or not."

Dou Qinge covered her mouth and smiled: "unfortunately, I heard that boss Yuan went home for funeral two days ago. I'm afraid he didn't come back for two or three months. It's a pity." No one testified that Aunt Liu and aunt Chang must be punished.

Su Chenghai suddenly came softly: "my aunt really feel pity?"

Qin yunuan and Dou Qinge look back at Su Chenghai at the same time, but in one eye they are faithful and in the other they are hesitant.

Dou Qing'e didn't speak, but her eyes showed everything. She estimated that Yuan Dao should have arrived at his hometown in Southern Fujian now, which is 180 thousand miles away from the capital. He gave him enough silver to open another grocery store.

"In fact, my aunt doesn't have to think it's a pity," Su Chenghai said, seemingly carelessly managing his cuff. "Because my nephew met boss yuan on the first floor a few days ago. He just made an appointment with boss yuan today. Now, he should have arrived."

After waiting for half a column of incense, we did not wait for a living, movable boss yuan, but a thin letter.

"The Porter said that boss yuan seemed to have something urgent to do. He left the letter in a hurry and drove away with the carriage. He could not stay."

Dou Qing'e's body couldn't help but probe forward. The gentle and calm manner she had been maintaining was mixed with several helplessness. She couldn't argue: "we haven't seen the real person. How can we be sure that he is the real boss yuan?"

"There is a seal on the letter," Su Chenghai slowly picked up a cup of tea and leaned back on the yellow flower pear wood armchair. "If my aunt doesn't believe it, she can take this seal to the shop of boss yuan for inspection."

Dou Qing'e is still very kind: "I don't believe it. I'm always at ease when you do things." But secretly, her fingernails had been deeply pinched into the tiger's mouth, and she had printed a deep crescent moon seal. She looked up at Qin Zhi, who was frowning at the letter. But the more she looked at it, the more wrong her face was. She was surprised, angry and suddenly realized that all kinds of emotions were piling up on his face, just about to burst out.

"You said, you thief woman," Qin Zhi pointed to the kneeling mother Qiao, "how much money have you been greedy for in my Qin family for so many years

Things are going in exactly the opposite direction that Dou Qinge expected.

"Father, what did the letter say to make him so angry?" Qin yunuan's question is more like a kick on Dou qing'e.

"This is not a letter," said Qin Zhi, looking at Qiao Ma, who was shivering on the ground. "This is an account submitted by boss yuan. It clearly records that the thief's mother-in-law agreed with him to write a first-class good product in the receipt report, but in fact, the delivered product is the leftovers that can't be sold in the shop. The two people collude with each other and make profits secretly. I'm afraid I'm here There are many other things in Taiwei's mansion that make up the numbers. "

"Ah, it was the thief's mother-in-law who called to catch the thief." Qin Yuwan immediately took over the words and asked for his mother's help. "It's really sinister to deliberately push on his mother. Father, Yuwan thought that such a person could never stay in the Qin family again."

Mother Qiao quickly kowtowed to her. She did this kind of work. But she never signed any accounts with boss yuan. All these were oral agreements. They were done secretly. What's more, she did everything, not known by her wife, but shared with her."Husband Madam, do you want to... " Mother Qiao's head trembled and shrunk into her shoulders. Her mouth was full of yellow teeth and snot. The people who saw her were very nauseous. Her eyes were full of tears, but she did not dare to say more under the hint of Dou Qing'e's eyes.

"It's not only that we can't stay," Qin yunuan said for the first time. "We should find out what the Mammy's family wealth is from this unclean transaction, and all of it should be handed in."

"That's right," Qin Zhi nodded and agreed. He didn't mean to be stingy with the money. It's a matter of family style and his face as the head of the family. "Thank you, steward Xie. It's up to you to do this. As for the thief's mother-in-law who has unclean hands and feet, he has to deal with it according to the family rules first. There are fifty clubs and one can't be spared."

Chamberlain Xie was the old Chamberlain who had been busy before and after. He was also the old man beside Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi was very relieved.

"As for the future accounting," Qin Zhi made a long pause, his eyes fell on Aunt Liu and aunt Chang, and then he turned around to look at Dou Qing'e, "let Qing'e's wife take care of it."

Dou Qing'e put her heart down, but she deliberately refused for a while, knowing that she was the only one who was expected to return, so she accepted the power of housekeeper again.

"Only, I promised to be a Buddhist for a month. I'm afraid it's not due now..." Dou Qing'e stops at the tunnel.

Qin yunuan was greeted by Dou Qing'e's thoughtful eyes. She raised her eyes, but she didn't make a sound. On one side, Su Chenghai received him quietly: "today, the Empress Dowager assists the six palaces, but still sincerely recites sutras to the Buddha, so in my nephew's humble opinion, the housekeeper may not be able to salute the Buddha."

This remark is right in Qin Zhi's mind, because it's him who makes Dou Qing'e close the door and worship Buddha. It's him who makes Dou Qing'e take charge of his family again. Su Chenghai's seemingly meddlesome words make him more confident: "yes, so Qing'e's wife will be more tired in the future."

I'm not afraid of being tired. I'm afraid that the trivial matters of the Qin family have nothing to do with her. For Dou Qing'e, it's the most terrible thing to lose the power of the housekeeper.

"Naturally, I will do my best." Dou Qing'e hurriedly gets up and blesses her body. Today, she doesn't pull up all her long hair. First, she wants to make a hurried appearance. Second, Qin Zhi once said that her favorite is her long black and bright hair. She moves closer two steps to ask Qin Zhi where she is going to rest. To be honest, the location of cuixuan yard is unique. Her purpose is to Qin Zhi stays in cuixuan yard.

Who would have said that before Qin Zhi asked Li Qiqi, "are you tired? Just now, my wife didn't say that we have a new yard, so we can move there immediately. "

Dou Qinge was stunned, and then she said, "yes, although the newly cleaned lotus garden is smaller, it has all the furnishings. If you move there, you can live immediately."

"Lotus garden?" Qin seems to be a little dissatisfied.

Qin yunuan looks up at Dou Qinge. It seems that she hasn't seen her for half a month. Her way of life is quite advanced. Furong hospital is a taboo place in the Qin family. At that time, Qin yunuan was no more than nine years old. I only remember that there was an aunt he surnamed in the house. She was gentle and moving. She had been living in Furong hospital for a long time. She stayed behind the door and died quietly. The next day, she was accepted by everyone It was found that Qin Zhi had sealed the Furong hospital, saying that it was unlucky that the ill Qi had been lingering in this place for a long time.

"Mother, hibiscus yard, isn't it not suitable?" Qin yunuan replied lightly, "Aunt Li has just entered the door. It's time to be happy. My mother won't think that Furong hospital is too unlucky." Although Qin yunuan didn't know what Dou Qing'e's idea was, he didn't have the heart to celebrate the new year.

Qin Zhi's face was stiff and his expression was not as natural as before: "there are so many yards in the mansion, why did he choose that yard alone?"

Dou Qing'e was not in a hurry: "my Lord, I've also considered a lot about this arrangement. First, Furong hospital is near Shunchang Hospital; second, Furong hospital has everything but a long time to live in. Sister Li can live in it directly. Third," dou Qing'e continued with a nod. "I know that the master has always been thinking about elder sister he. Why What a wonderful person elder sister is. Since elder sister he went, the master has never really smiled happily. Today, it's rare to see younger sister Li to make the master smile. I'm glad that elder sister's inspiration in heaven is satisfied. "

At this time, it was daylight. Butler Xie had recorded the losses and items burned in Haitang yard on his account and showed them to Qin Zhi. This time, the losses were not small. Haitang yard could not be repaired in a month or two, but it was a yard. Qin Zhi seemed to be moved. He asked himself that his love for Li Qiqi would not be less than that of He Lian. Besides, Haitang yard was repaired two months later You can move in.

"Just do as you say," Qin said, rubbing the sour corners of his eyes. "It's not too early. Everyone's gone."
