Chu Zishan walked into Nuan Pavilion and saw his second aunt Mei and Chu Zhinan looking at the account book.
"Haven't all the accounts in the house been settled? What are you talking about?"
Chu Zhinan waved his hand, still looking at the account book: "Tomorrow I will pay the monthly payment to the servants, I have to take care of it in advance. And the eldest aunt asked me to carefully calculate the accounts of the third aunt's shops, eldest aunt
I have always felt that there is something wrong with Third Aunt's account. I will check it carefully and I feel that there is something wrong with the purchase channel. Could you send someone to check it out?"
Chu Zishan sneered: "With how cunning and greedy Ning is, it would be strange if she doesn't make money." She looked at Chu Zhinan: "I also sent a few girls around me, and they don't know how to do business.
What can you tell? Tomorrow, just you and Chuchun Shengxia will go together."
"That's okay." Chu Zhinan nodded. She tapped the bank note with a brush: "The account you want back from the Sun family is six thousand taels more?"
"Oh, that was when my grandfather saved Sun Zhiyuan. Sun Zhiyuan wrote an IOU saying that if he was nominated for the gold medal, he would pay back ten times. I got married to the Sun family, but my grandfather actually burned the IOU. Now that the marriage is gone, I must
return."
Mrs. Mei smiled and patted her: "You can still get the money back without the IOU. You girl, you can't afford to offend me."
Chu Zishan sneered, the IOU was just an inducement, it was the reason why she led Sun Zhiyuan into committing a life-threatening lawsuit.
Sun Zhiyuan has become the emperor's favorite minister, so he must cherish his own feathers and will not tolerate anything that damages his reputation. And exposing the party will be his most fatal stain. In order to erase this stain, he will do whatever it takes to erase it.
.
She looked at the table and pushed the money: "From this month on, everyone's monthly payment will be doubled."
Chu Zhinan slapped the table, making Chu Zishan and Mei Shi jump.
Chu Zishan looked at her in surprise: "Who do you want to scare to death?"
Chu Zhinan pursed his lips and smiled: "I was just about to tell you about mentioning the moon silver to my servants, but you actually opened your mouth."
"Oh, it seems we have a good understanding." Chu Zishan shook his head.
"Yueyin can be doubled or tripled, but it will require a reduction in staff."
"Attrition? What do you mean?"
"I have calculated that all the skills in the house cannot actually use so many servants. They are almost three-thirds of idle people. After subtracting these people and adding more moon silver for those who are retained, after calculation, we still save a lot.
The servant who got the extra moon silver will definitely be extremely happy, and will work more diligently in the future, killing two birds with one stone."
Chu Zishan looked at Chu Zhinan, whose eyes were shining and full of confidence, and nodded happily: "You are good at this, so I will do as you say, but the servants who will be reduced must be properly arranged."
"I have already prepared the money for the resettlement. After all, I have been working in my house for so long, so I won't treat them badly."
After Chu Zhinan finished speaking, he looked at Chu Zishan for a while and said, "Well, Zishan, you have to find a way to get more money."
Hearing this, Chu Zishan suddenly turned around: "I just asked for so much money from the Sun family, don't tell me it's not enough? Isn't this champion palace a bottomless pit?"
Chu Zhinan smiled bitterly: "The money you want to get back is enough in your own house, but didn't you accept the invitation for the eldest princess's birthday? The eldest aunt said that we were the guests personally invited by the eldest princess and sent her a congratulatory gift.
But I can't be too shabby, otherwise I will be laughed at by people, and I will lose face to the eldest princess.
In particular, our houfu has not been invited to an official banquet for a long time. This time we must be decent and respectable, so that the dignitaries can see that our houfu has not declined. Therefore, this gift... may not only cost a few
It’s a matter of ten thousand taels of silver.”
She looked at Chu Zishan's increasingly gloomy face and spoke softer and quieter.
Chu Zishan gritted his teeth: "Money, money, money, endless money, why don't I take Chuchun and a few of them to imitate the Li family and act as bandits to steal the money."
Mei Shi Nuonuo said: "How about I inform Mr. Gu and ask him first..."
Chu Zishan jumped up, making Mrs. Mei tremble in fright: "Well, that's what I'm saying, if you don't want to, forget it."
Chu Zishan touched Mrs. Mei's shoulder and smiled slyly: "Second Aunt gave me some advice."
She looked at Chu Zhinan, who looked panicked: "Open the warehouse and let my mother go in and choose as she pleases. Everything there can be used as a gift for the eldest princess, which will be enough to scare those dignitaries."
Mei: "In the warehouse, Mr. Gu is now proposing marriage..."
Chu Zishan bared his teeth and smiled: "No, no, that is a gift of thanks. Before, I had no impression of his life-saving grace, and I suspected that he had other thoughts, so I didn't let him touch anything.
It’s different now. Yesterday I really saved him. There is no cure for the poison of bugs. This guy is as rich as a country. I saved him, so I just gave him a dozen boxes of thank-you gifts, but it wasn’t enough. I need to get married soon.
Knock him out.
Just open the warehouse and take whatever you want."
"This is a good thing, I don't have to worry about money anymore." Mrs. Mei said with a smile.
"Tell me, how come you know how to heal, Zishan?" Chu Zhinan asked happily.
Chu Zishan sighed: "Well, it's okay not to mention this. I know it anyway, but it's good that my family knows about it and there is no need to spread it to others."
She looked at Mrs. Mei and said, "Second Aunt, you come from a scholarly family. Please ask for a teacher, preferably one who is strong and healthy."
Mrs. Mei smiled and said: "Your standard is more like looking for a regular job, but Sister Shu and the child you brought back are both six or seven years old, and they have also changed their studies."
"It's not about teaching two children, it's about teaching Chu Muxuan."
"What, you want to find a husband for Chu Muchuan?"
Both mother and daughter looked at her with shocked expressions, as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
"Yes, it's Chu Muxuan. When the teacher comes, let him be released from the ancestral hall."
"My sister-in-law is studying for brother Xuan. Her hair is about to fall out. How can he honestly listen to my husband's words?"
"If he doesn't listen, beat him until he listens. If he doesn't learn from the beating, he'll just break one of his legs, and he'll never get out of the Houfu for the rest of his life."
Mei and Chu Zhinan were both horrified when they heard this, and couldn't help but sweat for Chu Muchuan.
Chu Zishan sighed, Chu Muxuan, according to her idea, will send that kid to prison for Cui'er's matter to avoid future troubles.
But her grandmother said that Chu Muchuan's nature was not bad, and if there was a glimmer of hope, she would not let her give up on anyone in the Chu family.
She had to listen to her grandmother's words. She would give Chu Muchuan, a brat like him, a chance.
Gui Qiu walked into the Nuan Pavilion and looked at Chu Zishan who was joking with Mrs. Mei.
Chu Zishan raised his eyes and looked at her, "What's the matter?"
"Ruyi Tower!" Gui Qiu said.
Chu Zishan stopped smiling, stood up and nodded to Mrs. Mei: "Second Aunt, I'm going out for a while."
After that, he took Guiqiu and hurriedly walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.
Chu Zhinan looked at Mrs. Mei: "Mother, do you think that Zishan is no longer like Zishan now, but like another person? I can't figure it out, how can she have such medical skills?"
Mrs. Mei sighed, with confusion on her face: "Sometimes I also wonder if this child is possessed by an evil spirit."
