Faced with the questioning of Geng's, the manager took out the account book and pointed it out to Geng's one by one. Geng made three sets of clothes this month and added a few pieces of clothing to the young master. He used all good materials for twenty taels per piece, which cost 150 taels. He bought two sets of gold-headed faces at the Jubao Gold Shop in Beijing and used 400 taels. The jade pendant he bought for the young master was 200 taels.

In addition, the young master came to the account office to pay the silver several times, each time about forty or fifty taels, which was more than three hundred taels. In addition, some trivial chews were used. I remember each one clearly. It was more than seven hundred taels. Now the kitchen still owes rice shops, butchers, etc., and there are more than one hundred taels of money. They have come to urge them several times, and there are some snacks at a time. Anyway, they are all well-documented, so the sum is not this number.

How much did she use it? Geng remembered that she did make clothes and jewelry, and Zheer said she wanted to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and had tea with classmates, etc. She did require money several times, and the account office also received rewards. Each time, it was only a few dozen taels. She didn't take it seriously and gave it to her. These were irrefutable.

Geng's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't react. Her nanny Yin's mother shouted, "I don't mention the bulk expenses before, and the cost in the mansion is only 400 taels to be over. Why do I owe people money this month if I spend 700 taels this month? This is the case where the master and the grandmother are not at home. Are you dog slaves bullying the wife on weekdays and don't understand the price, and deliberately buying expensive things to fool? I haven't seen that the food and consumption in the mansion are better than the food and food on weekdays."

The in charge replied respectfully: "Madam, how dare the young men? The young men are still here. If the young men dare to deceive this, even if the wife doesn't check it for a while, the young men will definitely not spare the young men when they come back. All the expenses have detailed accounts, remember clearly what vegetables, meat, and rice they bought, and how much they cost. They are not as much as they are on weekdays. In other words, the wife eats more finer than usual. For example, the eight-treasure crispy duck that the wife likes to eat most is complicated in workmanship and extremely wasteful materials. It costs three taels of silver each, and the bird's nest ginseng that the young men eat is also very expensive."

Yin's mother knew how much the duck cost, and immediately shouted: "Mrs. I have eaten the duck and the young master's bird's nest ginseng several times, can it cost four or five hundred taels more than usual?"

The manager flipped through the accounts and said, "Mrs. and the young master only ate seventy or eighty taels of silver more than before. In addition, those... all the prices of rice and vegetables have increased."

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. When did the rice and vegetable prices in Beijing rise? Will the bully's wife not go to the vegetable market?" Yin's mother scolded again, "If you don't explain it clearly, you will sell your whole family and fill in the amount."

The manager was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, it's not a small person who swallows it up, but the small person has just said it straight. Many people in the mansion are used for chewing, such as grain, fruit, vegetables, even chicken, duck, fish, etc., are all sent from the farm. It doesn't cost money. If you want to buy it again now, you will naturally have to spend more money."

There is another butler who dared not say that the people below bullied Geng and bought the most expensive rice and grain, and the cunning ones secretly ate wine and added vegetables, steal a little here and move a little there, don't underestimate the small amount of a few cents, as it will be too much.

Geng frowned and shouted, "Since it's delivered on weekdays, why should I buy it separately now?"

The manager replied: "I have asked me, because the grandma went to the temple forever, so the village sent all the food, vegetables, fruits, etc. to the temple. As for chicken, duck, fish, meat, the children didn't know... In addition, those monks were dowrying by the grandma."

Geng hurriedly said, "You have no right to ask about the things in the farm, but as far as I know, there are also several fields and two large farms under the name of the Marquis' Mansion. Those are not dowryings of the Grandpa, where are the things there?"

The manager shook his head and replied, "This young man is not very clear. The young man only knows that the chewy food in the mansion over the years was sent from the Taima Mansion."

"You don't know who knows?" Geng shouted sternly with his eyebrows raised.

The manager was frightened and said, "This lady can tell the shopkeepers of several places to ask. She must know where to hand over the things to whom."

"Then why don't you go quickly." Geng threw a teacup over in anger.

"Yes, Madam" in charge, hurriedly withdrew with tea.

Geng's chest was undulating and he was almost breathless.

Yin's mother hurriedly helped Geng's chest. After a while, Geng felt better. She reminded: "Madam, this is not a solution. There is no money on the books, and the monthly money is fine. It's one or two months late. Those servants must not dare to make trouble. They can't owe the accounts of the rice shop, otherwise there will be no rice in two days, and the whole family will go hungry. It's even more ugly to ask for the accounts of those mud legs."

Geng thought about it and made sense. She had some private money, but she really didn't want to ask her to use the private money to fill in the public account. She had saved it up with hard work. It was only more than a thousand taels, and it would take only a few months.

Mother Yin gave another idea and said, "Why don't you want the grandma to come back?" Such a huge marquis' mansion cannot be only a few thousand taels of silver. You can just accept it, at least wait for the marquis to come back first."

There is a saying that Mother Yin dared not say, if the wife had not given her brothers 1,500 taels, she would not have been able to pay the monthly money in the mansion and owed the rice shop butcher shop money. If it really made a mess, it would be the wife's fault. The wife of the grandmother has never liked her to supplement her parents' family, and the grandmother's mother's Zhou family was in trouble, so the grandmother herself would not have helped her.

Geng could only sigh deeply, but he hated Mrs. Zhou half to death in his heart.

I think it was all this dead old woman, so it must be this dead old woman who took away the silver from the Hou Mansion, otherwise the Hou Mansion would not have only more than 4,000 taels of silver left.

However, she was suppressed by Mrs. Cen for many years, and it was not bad for this time. When the Marquis came back, it was true that she could find a way to force the old woman to hand over all the money.

Geng went to the temple twice, but he didn't even see Mrs. Zhou's face. It is said that the lady was calm and worshiping the Buddha, and she could not be disturbed, and Geng could not force her to break through.

I could only wait. After waiting for a while, Mrs. Zhou did not wait, but waited for the Yongxiang Hou Xu Jiachang, the eldest master of the Xu family.

As soon as Master Xu got home, a manager told him about the matter, which made him so angry that his face turned pale. This prodigal wife actually gave her parents 1,500 taels of silver, and her son's food and food were more than 1,000 taels. You must know that he had only used 200 taels of silver when he was away.

If he hadn't been a marquis for so many years and had his temper restrained, he really wanted to rush over and give the woman an old punch like a man in the country to see if she dared it.
