My scumbag regent ex-husband is also reborn

Chapter 39 There is a problem with the accounts

"Yes, I will change it in the future!"

Aunt Liu was in the wrong in this regard, so she could only endure the anger and unwillingness in her heart and agree.

Hearing Aunt Liu's words, Gu Qingzhou was not very satisfied.Instead, she still knitted her beautiful brows and looked at Aunt Liu dissatisfied: "It seems that Aunt Liu has a lot of problems. How can she call herself me in front of my legitimate daughter?"

Gu Qingzhou made up his mind to change the bad habits of the mother and daughter one by one. No matter what they felt in their hearts, they must not be allowed to overstep the mark in the face!

This also reminds the mother and daughter to recognize their identities.An aunt is an aunt after all.Not even half a master.In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, he, Gu Qingzhou, was there.They, mother and daughter, have to keep their heads down and behave.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Qingzhou's words, Aunt Liu's face suddenly turned green and white, and the corners of her mouth started to tremble: "It's the eldest lady. I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!"

"This is still a rule. Auntie, I am not deliberately picking on you. It's just that things are different now. Now in our Prime Minister's Mansion, not only does my father join the court as an official, but we also have the first female official in Beiyan Kingdom. She must be Many eyes are staring at our Prime Minister's Mansion, and if there is any violation of the rules, people will definitely criticize us."

Gu Qingzhou said slowly, telling Aunt Liu every word from now on.The Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and she, Gu Qingzhou, is no longer the talkative Gu Qingzhou she used to be!

"Yes, the concubine understands!"

Aunt Liu lowered her head deeply and said through gritted teeth. Previously, Gu Qingrou said in front of him that Gu Qingzhou, a little bitch, had changed, but he didn't think so. Now, he has truly seen it. Gu Qingzhou has indeed changed. .

"Okay, since my aunt understands, that's the best thing. Just give me the account book."

After setting the rules, Gu Qingzhou got back to business. It was time to solve the problems in the ledger.

"Yes!"

Aunt Liu put the account book and warehouse key next to Gu Qingzhou with a gloomy face, and then stood aside.

Gu Qingzhou lazily picked up the account book, opened a page and looked at it casually.

Aunt Liu's heart almost rose to her throat because of Gu Qingzhou's flipping through the account book.

Gu Qingzhou flipped through every page.Aunt Liu stared closely.I was afraid that Gu Qingzhou would see something wrong with this account book.

Gu Qingzhou ignored it and still looked at the account book in his hand carefully.His eyes were fixed on one spot, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, there was something wrong!

Then Gu Qingzhou's face turned cold: "Aunt Liu, less than two months have passed this year, why are the expenses of the Prime Minister's Mansion so high?"

In less than two months, I spent 800 taels!No matter how you say it, something is wrong!

Aunt Liu panicked and said with a smile: "Oh, Miss, you are not a good person. You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Although less than two months have passed this year, we are rushing to celebrate the New Year. There are many People gave us gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Miss, you don't know the temper of the Prime Minister. You don't want to owe others' favors, so we returned the gifts one by one. We spent a lot of money on this, and also on the Mansion. The young masters and ladies each have to make a few pieces of clothes and jewelry, and this is like a sea of ​​silver flowing out!"

Aunt Liu looked embarrassed and said in tears.

snort!The money has been given away as gifts, but she, Gu Qingzhou, can still check it one by one!

"Even if this is the case, it's not right. Although there are many people who give gifts to our Prime Minister's Mansion, my father has always been honest as an official, and the gifts he receives are only in accordance with the rules and regulations. There is never any excess. Ju, the gifts back are naturally like this, as well as the clothes and jewelry for the young master and the ladies, they don’t cost much, Aunt Liu, this account is not right!"

Gu Qingzhou looked meaningfully at Aunt Liu in front of him, his eyes full of questions.

"What's wrong? Miss, please don't spit on anyone. If you haven't experienced these things yourself, how can you talk nonsense? What's more, the expenses are like this every year. The Prime Minister also has a purpose. , what could be wrong!"

Aunt Liu said with a little anger on her face and full of grievance.

"Okay, let's not mention this for now. Then tell us how much money our Prime Minister's Mansion has left by this year?"

Gu Qingzhou closed the account book and looked at Aunt Liu in front of her with a serious expression, without any smile.

Aunt Liu suddenly became a little panicked: "Miss, you know that our Prime Minister has always been honest. His monthly salary is 300 taels. Adding in the daily expenses, there won't be much left in a year. Over the years, the Prime Minister has The government has been unable to make ends meet, and the remaining silver is only...300 taels."

The 300 taels of silver were collected from one family to another, plus the 100 taels that Gu Qingrou borrowed from His Highness King Yi, that's all.

"Ten taels?"

Gu Qingzhou immediately raised his voice.His expression was also full of disbelief!

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has only saved 300 taels of silver over the years! This means that the Prime Minister's Mansion spends nearly 800 taels of silver every month! Aunt Liu, are you kidding me?"

"Oh, Miss, how can there be so much... I only spend more than 200 taels a month."

"As far as I know, my father's monthly salary is indeed 300 taels, but there are still 500 taels of subsidies from the court, which means a total of 800 taels of silver! According to what you said, 200 taels of silver are spent a month. In terms of taels of silver, one year is 400 taels. If my aunt has been in charge of Zhongfu for ten years, her expenses are only 4000 taels. My father has 800 taels a month, which means 6000 taels of silver in ten years. So There should be 7 taels of silver in the house, but now you tell me that I only have 300 taels, do you think I am easy to fool?"

Gu Qingzhou looked at Aunt Liu in front of him and began to question, this is not a bad thing!

"This..." Aunt Liu didn't expect Gu Qingzhou to be so powerful, nor did she expect that she would lose so much money.

"Aunt Liu, I trusted you too much before, so I left the affairs of the house to you to take care of without any interference. But now, it has caused such a disaster. Now in front of you There are only two ways to go, either tell your father the truth about the matter, declare it to customs, and trace the whereabouts of the 7 taels of silver, or Aunt Liu, you can make up for it yourself! I can pretend that nothing happened. However, the choice depends entirely on Aunt Liu!"
