Chapter 213 Two girls handling the case

Rongguo Mansion, Fengjie Courtyard, West Wing.

Qingwen set up a table and benches at the door of the room early in the morning, and helped Mr. Xiangling, the accountant, hold the door!

This is the task Jia Lian gave her last night, and she takes it very seriously.

People inside and outside the courtyard also knew that today there would be housekeepers and daughters-in-law coming to pay embezzlement money, and they all came to watch the fun.

Qingwen immediately raised her eyes and scolded everyone away.

There are some people who, relying on their thick skin or some status, pretend to be friendly and try to come forward to pry, Qingwen did not spare any face: "I advise you all to be calm, you shouldn't Don’t interfere with matters.

The Second Master has specifically told us that no irrelevant person is allowed to enter this room today!

To tell you the truth, even the Second Grandma I don’t dare to go against the second master’s wishes. If you think you are more honorable than the second grandma, feel free to come forward and see how you die.”

Qingwen’s words had a great effect.

No one had any intention of making any mistakes, and even after waiting around for half a day, there was still no housekeeper and daughter-in-law coming to pay the money, so everyone's interest dropped and slowly dissipated.

Qingwen waited until there was no one in the yard, and she couldn’t sit still, so she went into the house to look for Xiangling.

"Hey, you said those housekeepers and ladies will not disrespect the second master's orders and won't come today, right?"

Xiang Ling shook her head and said she didn't know. .

She only knew that the second master asked her to write down everything she received.

"Well, if this continues, it won't be long before the second master goes to work. Seeing that we haven't received anything, will the second master be angry?"
< br />Qingwen was a little listless. After finally getting a serious job, she wanted to perform well.

Now that nothing has been accomplished, I am naturally a little unhappy.

Xiang Ling advised: "Sister Qingwen, don't worry, the second master has left them until the second watch in the evening. The time is still long, maybe they will come after a while. Yes."

Qingwen only replied, "I hope so."

I was listlessly fidgeting with a small scale on Xiangling's desk, which was used to weigh money, when I saw Xiaohong tiptoeing over to the door.

Qingwen immediately scolded her sternly: "What are you doing here? Don't you know that idlers are not allowed to come in here today?"

This little red is the most flattering girl. , I have only been in the hospital for a few months.After making the Second Mistress happy, she suppressed the original maids beside her, acting like a new noble in the courtyard.

Qingwen didn’t like her.

Xiaohong smiled. She was wearing very thick clothes. She didn’t take off her sleeves until she entered the house. She said to Qingwen: "I follow my mother’s instructions and come here to pay the money. ..."

It turns out that although most of the housekeepers had prepared the money, they did not dare to send it over rashly.

One by one, they repeatedly inquired in the dark. One was to see the situation in Sister Feng’s children’s hospital, such as whether the second grandma was waiting, and the other was to see what other people were doing...

After all, it was a big deal and they were all very cautious.

Lin Zhixiao’s family didn’t want to take this risk. Fortunately, their daughter worked in Sister Feng’s nursery, so they asked Xiaohong to bring all the money over and let her wait for the opportunity.

Xiaohong was originally a very smart person. She waited until no one in the courtyard saw her before she quietly came over.

Qingwen heard that Xiaohong was here to pay, and when she saw the bulging package she was holding, her eyes lit up, and she stood up from her seat.

“Since you are paying money, why don’t you take it over.”

Qingwen stepped forward very neatly and was about to snatch the parcel.

Xiaohong retreated subconsciously, thinking that although Qingwen shouldn't be qualified to see it, she lived with Xiangling, so there was no way she could get around this matter.

Rather than offending her and targeting me in the future, it would be better to be generous to her. Anyway, the second master didn’t blame my parents anymore, and even rewarded half of the money to my father, so he wasn’t afraid of her going out and talking nonsense.

So he asked Qingwen to take the package.

"Oh, these are all your family has to hand over? Tsk tsk, your family is really good at it. How much money does it cost..."

Qingwen thought she had followed. After Jia Lian, people can be regarded as people who have seen the world. They have seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

But when she received the package in Xiaohong’s arms, the heavy weight almost made her lose her grip and fall.

So he hurriedly put the package on the table, opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was full of silver ingots, large and small, regular and irregular.

Hearing Qingwen’s sarcastic words, Xiaohong had no way to defend herself. She just glanced outside the door, afraid that someone would come over.

Originally, his father wanted to exchange it for gold and let her bring it in. It was light in weight and had a small target. But her mother said that it would be too eye-catching to change it to gold. What if the masters thought that their house was full of gold and silver?It was inappropriate, so I decided to use silver.

Her mother was also careful and deliberately took most of the old silver ingots and broken silver, determined to let the masters know that their house had been ransacked...
< br /> Qingwen ignored Xiao Hong and happily started to take out all the silver and put it in piles to weigh.

After Xiangling recorded the number, Qingwen was about to chase Xiaohong out. But Xiaohong blushed and took out something wrapped in silk from her arms. Then, with Qingwen and Xiangling looking at her with doubts, she opened it and said:

"This is my mother today. The total amount of silver notes I exchanged at Datong Bank earlier is one thousand taels. Sister Xiangling, please count..."

Lin Zhixiao was so excited last night that he filled out three thousand taels in one go.

Afterwards I realized that paying money had become a problem.

Even if Jia Lian gave him half of the money, the more than one thousand taels would be eye-catching enough that he would not be able to take it in easily.

Since it couldn’t be exchanged for gold, after thinking about it, the Lin family decided to go to a big bank in the city and secretly exchange the silver for a specific banknote, so that it would be easier to get it in.

Xiang Ling took the banknote handed over by Xiaohong and counted it like a robot.

Qingwen looked at Qi Qi and wondered: "This thing can't be fake, right?"

Xiaohong said hurriedly: "No, these are all It’s true. We don’t dare to deceive Mr. Er. These banknotes were exchanged by my mother at Datong Bank in person this morning. All of them can be exchanged for cash..."

"Banknotes are rare. Even if they are in circulation on the market, they are small-denomination banknotes issued by big banks.

There are very few large denominations, because large denominations are issued by banks to specific people. The exchange process is complicated and can only be exchanged at specific places, which is very inconvenient.

Xiang Ling finished counting and found that it was indeed one thousand taels. Including the previous silver, it is more than one thousand five hundred taels.

Knowing this total, both Qingwen and Xiangling found it eye-opening.

How can a slave be so rich?

For a time, both Qingwen and Xiangling branded the Lin family as extremely greedy.

Xiaohong could see what they were thinking, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Seeing that Xiang Ling had already recorded it, he whispered: "Sister Qingwen, sister Xiangling, then I'm leaving..."

Qingwen and Xiangling Nodding numbly.
