Xiao Yuanshi saw the accounts of the house for the last two months, not only could not even balance the income and expenditure, but even the monthly records of the servants were not enough.
Where did the money go?
At this moment, Ge Chunru's maid came in.
"Madam, concubine Liu is asking to see you at the door."
Ge Chunru always thought that Taoliu would come here. He must have heard that Xiao Yuanshi was in her yard and had no good intentions.
Just as he was about to refuse to meet, Xiao Yuanshi spoke first, "Let her come in."
The maid naturally did not dare to disobey his orders.
Soon Taoliu came in, with a pale and tired face, looking like she was sick.
She was surprised when she saw Xiao Yuanshi statue, and immediately saluted weakly, "I have seen the general and his wife."
Ge Chunru gritted her teeth when she saw her vixen's appearance, "I have something to do with the general. If you have nothing important, just retire first."
Taoliu got up, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was hesitant to speak.
But still nodded, "Yes, then I'll quit."
Ever since Xiao Yuanshi allowed her to call herself "I", she has never changed her mind in front of Ge Chunru.
Xiao Yuanshi frowned slightly when he saw his concubine like this, "Are you sick?"
Tao Liu looked at him with hazy eyes, "I, I'm fine."
"Since the general and his wife have business, I won't bother." Sensible and interesting.
Xiao Yuanshi said: "Our business has been finished."
He asked, "What's the matter with you coming to see Mrs.?"
"Me!" Taoliu showed a somewhat indescribable look, "No, it's nothing."
Ge Chunru: "..." This woman must have done it on purpose, she was pretending to want Xiao Yuanshi to ask.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuanshi asked, "Don't worry about me, just say it directly."
Taoliu bit her lip and looked at Ge Chunru, with apprehension and prayer, "Madam, can I prepay this month and next month's monthly schedule?"
Ge Chunru said with a cold face, "There is no such precedent in the General's Mansion."
Originally, there was no money in the account, and the monthly payment was still advanced. What was this Taoliu thinking?
Taoliu was very aggrieved, "The lady just pretend I didn't say it."
"I'll step back first." She curved her body, but she looked shaky when she stood up.
Xiao Yuanshi hurriedly got up and walked over to support him, "Why don't you rest in the yard when you are sick?"
"Also, why do you want to pay monthly bills in advance?"
Tao Liu leaned against his arms softly, but did not answer immediately, but kept his eyes on Ge Chunru.
Xiao Yuanshi frowned further, "What about you?"
Taoliu showed a weak and strong appearance, "I have spent all the money in my hand for medical treatment recently, and I only took half of my monthly bill last month."
"Langzhong said that I still have to take medicine, but I don't have the money to get medicine, so I thought about whether I could pay for this month and next month's monthly schedule."
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a while. He was a little busy these days, so he didn't go to Liu Ru's yard.
Then I didn't know she was sick.
"Why don't you go to the government doctor?"
Taoliu pursed her lips and said, "The government doctor won't treat me."
Xiao Yuanshi's face was a little unsightly, "Why didn't the doctor in the government see you?"
Tao Liu sighed, "My status is low, how can I be qualified to see a doctor from the government."
Xiao Yuanshi's face turned even darker, "You are the master of the General's Mansion, who said that you have a low status and are not qualified to be treated by the mansion doctor?"
Taoliu glanced in Ge Chunru's direction, "Yes, Madam ordered it."
hurriedly added: "It's none of the lady's business. Without rules, it's impossible to make a circle. It's normal not to let the government doctor treat people with low status like us."
"It's all my fault. When I go back, I **** some jewelry to see a doctor."
Ge Chunru: "..." This is the shameless **** who came in to give her eye drops.
Xiao Yuanshi turned his head to look at Ge Chunru with a cold face, "What did you instruct?"
Ge Chunru did use this to satirize Taoliu, so he was immediately stopped.
Xiao Yuanshi's anger will go straight up, "Ge Chunru, I will hand over this general's mansion to you, so you will manage it like this?"
"Don't let the prefectural doctor treat the people in the prefecture."
"The concubine of the General's Mansion is ill, and she has to go out to **** jewelry to see a doctor. What do you want people outside to think if it spreads out?"
Ge Chunru choked, "Me!"
She was about to explain, but Xiao Yuanshi smashed the ledger in his hand on the table, "And what's the matter with this ledger?"
"The money in the house is not even enough to send out the monthly bills of the servants. You only paid half of it last month."
"What about the money?"
Ge Chunru's eyes flickered, "I, I took it and bought a hot spring village."
Xiao Yuanshi squinted and asked, "What about Zhuangzi's title deed?"
Ge Chunru bit her lip, "Here, let's press the bottom of the box for Chunyi's dowry."
She heard that another concubine who entered the Second Prince's Mansion had a rich dowry, and there was a hot spring village in the suburbs.
So he didn't want to feel wronged by his sister, so he used the money left in the general's coffers to buy a Zhuangzi as a dowry.
This time Xiao Yuanshi was really angry, he waved the teacup on the table to the ground, "Boom!"
Ge Chunru was frightened by his sudden action, "Ah!"
Taoliu reacted quickly and stepped forward to support the angry Xiao Yuanshi.
"Don't be angry, General, it's not good for your health."
Then I remembered the tea language taught by Shi Qingluo.
So he looked at Ge Chunru with a look of condemnation, "Madam, the general has worked hard enough for this family, and it is not easy to accumulate some family wealth because of military exploits.
"The water splashed by the married daughter, not to mention this is just the younger sister."
"The general was exhausted in the court, and after returning home, he worked hard for us to eat, wear, and dress. He is so good, how can you be so angry with him?"
Having said this, Xiao Yuanshi also felt wronged and chilled.
Liu Ru knew that it was not easy for him to accumulate these properties, and knew that he felt bad for him.
And Ge Chunru, this wife, where is his husband?
"Aren't you feeling bad for not vacating this house for your younger siblings?"
"A side concubine, you have to prepare one hundred and eighty dowry for her."
"The prince concubine only carries so much dowry when she gets married, and the second prince and the concubine only carry one hundred and sixty. I say this is not in line with the rules, so you reduce the amount of dowry."
"You're not happy, you think I'm reluctant to bear it."
"But you still used money from the General's Mansion, ancient jewelry and porcelain paintings, farm products from Zhuangzi Shop, and furniture made of high-quality wood, to give your sister a dowry one hundred and twenty pounds."
"And 30,000 taels of silver for your brother."
"This has almost emptied the general's mansion."
"I didn't expect you to still carry me behind your back, and then move the money you used to spend on your account to buy a hot spring house for your sister."
"Now I can't even pay my servants' monthly bills, and I even have to deduct the money for medical treatment for concubines."
"Ge Chunru, you might as well change the surname of the entire General's Mansion to Ge."
The old lady used to ridicule him before, the general's mansion had to be surnamed Ge.
He didn't care at the time, but now he thinks that Jiang is still old and hot, and his mother is very prescient.
