Gu Man pretended to be surprised, "Oh? What kind of deal?"
Xu Fu smiled and said: "You two look young, you must not earn more than two taels of silver in a month at home, right?"
Gu Man nodded.
"I see that the two nephews are really kind, so I won't beat around the bush and tell the truth. You are working so hard in the house to earn only two taels, and you can't even get a wife. From my side, I only need the goods that the house needs.
If it's more, I can give you a commission! Apart from me, you and the master can also falsely report a price! Anyway, those rich people won't care about this at all!"
Gu Man pretended to be scared and said, "If you make a false report, what will happen if our officers investigate?"
Xu Fu said with a smile: "I will issue a voucher for you. I will issue you as much as you want! I have seen many people like you here, but none of them have been discovered by the owner, so don't worry.
"
Oh, is it so?
Ji Moyan on the side was already furious after hearing that one of them was speculating and amassing money like this.
Gu Man pretended to be very happy and said to Xu Fu: "Boss Xu is still great. Yes, I will go back and make an order with our wife right now. Once we have made the order, I will come to your place to order the fabric!"
Xu Fuxiao's eyes were even brighter, and he immediately sent Gu Man and Ji Moyan out in person.
Gu Man and Ji Moyan followed the same method and went to another house to find out, and sure enough, it was the same routine.
Probably because this kind of business is an unspoken rule that everyone knows in their place. Gu Man and Ji Moyan just announced their intention, and someone came forward to "do business" with them. People who make profit will die for food, and they
Although I hate such treacherous money-making behavior, I can't stop it. This kind of business will only increase day by day and will not gradually die out.
Gu Man and Ji Moyan returned to the Hou Mansion with full evidence. Immediately, they summoned all the nuns and managers who were responsible for the purchase of the house, as well as those who had profited from it. A total of more than 20 people knelt down neatly before Ji Moyan.
's yard.
Since Ji Moyan is now the head of the family, she is the one to speak, while Gu Man is assisting.
Many servants knelt on the ground uneasily. I wonder why the young lady called them here, and the eldest lady was also beside her?
I heard that the eldest lady and the second lady have become close recently, and it seems to be true.
Some older veterans were a little calm, thinking over and over again in their minds, feeling that they didn't seem to have anything exposed. Since they were right, there was no need to panic.
Ji Moyan glanced at Gu Man, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was time to start.
Ji Moyan's voice was slightly cold. Looking at Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhao and Manager Li who were kneeling at the front and responsible for purchasing, she said, "I have been checking the ledger recently and found that the prices of the items purchased for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival are...
It's much higher than last year, can you three explain it to me?"
The eyes of the three people rolled around. When they heard Ji Moyan's question, they were all shocked. Why did the young lady suddenly ask about this matter? But whatever her reasons were, since she dared to take advantage of this fortune, she was naturally not afraid of being investigated by her master.
Yes, I have the credentials anyway.
Aunt Zhao took the lead and replied with a smile: "Little Madam Qi, you don't know, things are different from the past! Prices have risen rapidly in the past year, everything is very expensive, and this coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
, the prices have risen even more horribly! Therefore, the prices are naturally higher than in previous years."
Ji Moyan looked at Grandma Wang and Manager Li and asked, "Is that so?"
The two people kneeling on the ground nodded "yes".
Grandma Wang raised her head and said: "Back to Madam, Madam Zhao is right, things are indeed different from the past! You don't know what's going on outside in the house. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can see the purchase receipt.
, the use and price of each transaction are clearly written in it."
Manager Li also nodded in agreement!
The smile on Ji Moyan's lips became thicker and thicker, but his eyes were cold. For some reason, they felt cold in their hearts.
It was the first time I saw the little lady's expression like this. Normally, the little lady was gentle and kind, so they had the courage to do such things as taking kickbacks.
They are not the only ones doing this kind of thing, and it is not the first time they have done it. However, when the eldest lady was in charge of the family before, they would also take kickbacks, but they did not dare to be as bold as they are now.
They thought that the little madam didn't understand anything, so it would be okay to take some kickbacks. Then they would just use their usual tricks to fool them. But they didn't expect that the little madam would suddenly call them here today and talk about this matter.
Moreover, the eldest lady was sitting next to her without saying a word. It seemed that the matter had nothing to do with her. However, wasn’t the eldest lady here just to suppress Ji Moyan? Could it be that the eldest lady and the little madam were really like each other in the mansion?
As rumored, is there no discord?
Various thoughts began to arise in everyone's minds.
Ji Moyan sneered and looked at the others, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"
The rest of the maids and servants responded in unison: "That's true!"
Ji Moyan smiled and said, "But how come I heard that some shops can forge purchase orders? The original price of one tael can be raised to ten taels. How many of you have heard of this kind of thing?"
After hearing Ji Moyan's words, the hearts of those kneeling below were beating like drums, and a thin layer of sweat instantly covered their foreheads.
How did the little lady know the little secret between them and the merchant? No matter why, it must not be recruited. If you do, you will inevitably be punished. I heard that the young lady meant to listen to what others said, and there is no definite evidence, bite to death
If they don't admit it, there's nothing she can do to punish them.
"No... never heard of it."
"Really never heard of it?"
"My dear madam, I have indeed never heard of it!" The three of them nodded. A drop of sweat dripped from Manager Li's forehead all the way down his chin, but they didn't dare to reach out to wipe it away.
Ji Moyan sighed with great disappointment, "I gave you a chance just now!"
Everyone had a vague premonition in their hearts at this moment. Sure enough, Ji Moyan suddenly threw a pile of purchase receipts to the ground and shouted sternly: "You haven't heard of this! You haven't heard of it, I'm sure.
I have witnessed it with my own eyes! Today, my wife and I have gone to inspect the places where you purchased, and we have also learned about the business between you and the shops! As old people in the house, you should know that there is no definite evidence.
, how could we go to such great lengths to call you all in for questioning??"
Hearing Ji Moyan's words, everyone in the hospital panicked. They never thought that the first lady and the second lady would go and investigate in person.
