The hall was quieter.
Now everyone in the mansion heard that the girl was fighting with her wife for the power of the housekeeper. No one expected that the girl would speak in front of so many people in a synagogue.
Ji’s dress was wearing a plain dress and sat upright on her head.
She has a beautiful appearance, and even if she is just a thin makeup, she can’t hide her charm.
Gu Zhizhuo looked at her.
When Ji entered the door, Gu Zhizhuo was only over six years old. She had been in charge of the Duke’s Mansion for so long, and had gathered many loyal nannies under her command and controlled the inner courtyard.
In the past few years of mourning, my brother and his uncle were stationed in the northern border. She was jealous and indulgent in the mansion, and she knew nothing about external affairs, as if she was blind.
In the last life, there were many bad news, and she couldn’t even react, so she missed the initiative step by step.
“Mother.” She smiled, “Is the accounts not cleared yet?”
She smiled cutely, with two dimples showing her cheeks, and her attitude was unconcealed.
“Sister Zhuo,” Ji waved to her, and called her to her side intimately, saying with a gentle voice, “It’s not that my mother doesn’t let you but the housekeeper, but you have never learned these things since you were a child. Even if you have so many people in the mansion, you can’t recognize this. When I am a director, you come and listen. It’s not too late to take over after a few days.”
Her tone was still gentle, just like a mother who was really considering her daughter. Seeing that Gu Zhizhuo didn’t make a sound, she said, “The flower house is good, I’ll take care of you first, okay?”
Flowers and trees are one of the most irrelevant things in the mansion. There is no oil and water, and everything is trivial.
Ji took her hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a smile: “We have raised several Yao Huang and Zui Yang Concubine in our flower room this year, and they are all very good in terms of appearance. In a few days, you will take it to the palace and you will be the leader in the Queen’s flower party!” Gu Zhizhuo is stupid and loves to show off his face the most. He should be able to impress her with the flower club.
“Yes, mother.”
Gu Zhizhuo responded with a knee, looking like a kind mother and a filial son.
The internal managers breathed a sigh of relief. The young girl came to ask for the housekeeper’s power in such a big battle. They thought there would be an open and secret battle in the mansion, but the wife coaxed her in a few words.
The big girl is still too tender.
Ji looked relieved and said, “Madam Wan, please bring the account book of Huamufang.”
After she said that, Gu Zhizhuo raised his hand and took the account book that Ji was looking at.
“This is not…”
Ji was about to speak, but he held back.
Account book is in the care ofZhizhuo turned his hand very quickly, page by page, and almost every page stayed for less than three breaths.
This is not a account check! Moreover, Gu Zhizhuo had never seen the account book before, Ji’s lips curled slightly. She picked up the teacup and slowly covered the tea foam with the tea.
Gu Zhizhuo finished the account book, and closed it with a snap, sighed quietly, “Mother doesn’t seem to be good at housekeeping.”
What does it mean
“In January, the government purchased a total of 12,000 kilograms of firewood and charcoal, totaling 280 taels of silver.”
“Last November, the government purchased 30,000 kilograms of firewood and charcoal, and 320 taels of silver.”
“Great girl.” The one who was in charge of the purchase was from Bai Chang’s family. She said, “This winter is very cold, and the charcoal fire is not enough. I bought some temporarily, and the charcoal fire has increased. Alas, this daily expense is different every year, and the price is changing all the time. You don’t know if you don’t take charge of the family.”
Gu Zhizhuo asked, “In the past years, can 30,000 kilograms of firewood and charcoal be able to survive the winter?”
“Yes.” Bai Chang’s family said, “So, I bought 30,000 kilograms of charcoal as usual. Unexpectedly, the snowstorms this winter have been severely severe, and the charcoal prepared will be used up by mid-December. The charcoal fire in the capital has been sold out. I can only buy it in other places, and the price will be expensive. It was because I was negligent and failed to do my job well. I spent hundreds of taels of silver.”
“You can’t blame you.” Ji’s gentle words comforted, “There is unexpected wind and rain, and it is not predictable that the warmth and coldness will be. You have been in charge of purchasing for five years and have never made any mistakes. I see it.”
Bai Chang’s family wiped his tears and was moved: “Thank you, my wife, for your compassion.”
Gu Zhizhuo interrupted their master and servant’s relationship, and said without changing his face: “On the winter season, the Duke of Anguo used charcoal in total 31,000 kilograms, the Prince of Ning used 35,000 kilograms, and the Marquis of Dingyuan used 28,000 kilograms…” “Our mansion has the least population, and the third house has never lived in the mansion in winter. Haha, this charcoal is used more than any other family.”
Bai Chang’s face froze, his eyes are a little free, and she swallowed: “Girl, I bought a lot of it in one month, and the charcoal has not been used up. I still have to use it on weekdays. The charcoal cannot be used up.”
“Where did you collect it?”
“I’m just idle too, take me to have a look.”
Ji interrupted her and asked, “Sister Zhuo, how do you know how much charcoal they used in Anguo Duke’s Mansion?”
Gu Zhizhuo smiled appropriately and said, “If my mother doesn’t believe it, let’s go to Anguo Duke’s Mansion to ask.”
Ji didn’t say anything, and she was crazy and went to Anguo Duke’s Mansion to ask them how much charcoal they used in a year.
“Bai Chang’s family, let’s go! Summer is coming soon. If the charcoal is not stored properly, it will be bad if it is hot and sparks appear.”
Gu Zhizhuo looked at her with a smile.
These phoenix eyes were as sharp as possible to see through her heart. Bai Chang’s stammered and avoided her gaze.
“So, the charcoal was gone.” Gu Zhizhuo’s voice suddenly became loud, “Or, I have never bought it at all, you are greedy for this money! ”
