Chapter 36 The Battle of Rebuttal

"It's mostly that the two of them are afraid of their masters," Qin Yunzhuang only glanced at Aunt Liu, who was kneeling on the ground. "Or, the two aunts threatened them, and they dared not stop."

"Why is my sister in a hurry to argue for these two people?" Qin Yunuan smiled gently and said to Mother Qiao, "You said that your two aunts forced you to buy inferior goods. What else is there besides this charcoal? Can you open the documents?"

Mama Qiao was stunned and rubbed her apron around her waist and said, "I... I forgot that our Qin family and the merchants who buy goods are old customers. If it is not necessary, they usually check out on March 1st."

"That's strange," Qin Yunuan covered her veil and smiled faintly. "It's just now that it's common sense to remember to make backup this accounting. The two aunts are the first housekeepers and are inexperienced, so they don't keep accounts, but you just said that you have been in charge of the Qin family's procurement for eight years. Do you even have to issue good documents for the purchase of goods? Don't you know common sense?"

When Aunt Liu heard the words, she straightened up and said harshly, "You must be a woman who was greedy for money for a while and temporarily changed the inferior charcoal to get oil and water from it."

Qin Zhi was immediately stunned. He slowly put his eyes on the somewhat panicked Mother Qiao. In fact, it was all her words. In addition, now, without documents and account books, it is really difficult to cure the sins of Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang. But because a pot of poor-quality charcoal ignited such a big fire, destroying the candles in my bridal chamber and burning it to the accounting room. If I don't punish it, it will be difficult for me to step down.

It is inappropriate to make a judgment without being clear. Nowadays, Qin is very ugly and very difficult to do.

"Since you can't explain it clearly on both sides," Qin Yunuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's better to invite the boss in the shop directly to know whether it's true or false."

Dou Qing'e covered her mouth and smiled: "It's really unfortunate. I heard that Boss Yuan went home for mourning two days ago. I'm afraid it's a pity that he can't come back." No one has testified, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang must be punished.

Su Chenghai suddenly said softly, "Auncle, do you really feel sorry?"

Qin Yunuan and Dou Qing'e looked back at Su Chenghai at the same time, but their eyes were convinced and hesitant.

Dou Qing'e didn't say anything, but her eyes showed everything. She estimated that Yuan Dao should have arrived in southern Fujian now, 18,000 miles away from the capital. The money she gave him was enough money for him to open another grocery store.

"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry," Su Chenghai seemed to inadvertently take care of his cuffs and said, "Because my nephew happened to meet Boss Yuan on the first floor a few days ago. It was too late to meet him. He happened to make an appointment with Boss Yuan to come to the house today. Now, he should have arrived."

After waiting for half a column of incense, everyone waited for a thin letter instead of a living and moving boss Yuan.

"The porter's little boy said that Boss Yuan seemed to have something urgent. After hurriedly leaving this letter, he drove away to the carriage and couldn't keep it."

Dou Qing'e couldn't help leaning forward, and the gentle and calm look she had been maintaining mixed with a trace of helplessness. She argued weakly: "How can you be sure that you haven't seen the real boss Yuan?"

"There is a seal on the letter," Su Chenghai slowly picked up a cup of tea and leaned his back on the yellow pear wood armchair. "If your aunt doesn't believe it, she can take this seal to Boss Yuan's shop for inspection."

Dou Qing'e still looks kind: "How can I not believe it? I've always been relieved when you do things." But secretly, her nails had been pinched deeply into the tiger's mouth and imprinted with a not deep crescent mark. She looked up at Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi was frowning at the letter, but the more she looked at it, the more wrong her face was. She was surprised, angry and suddenly realized that all kinds of emotions piled on his face and were about to burst out immediately.

"You say, you thief," Qin Zhi pointed to Mother Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground. "How much money have you been in charge of buying in my Qin family for so many years?"

Things are completely in the opposite direction to what Dou Qing'e expected.

"Father, what on earth did the letter say to make my father so angry?" Qin Yunuan's problem is even more like kicking Dou Qing'e fiercely.

"This is not a letter," Qin Zhi looked sideways at Mother Qiao, who was constantly trembling on the ground. "This is an account submitted by Boss Yuan, which clearly records that the thief promised him to write first-class good goods on the documents, but in fact, it was delivered as the remnants that could not be sold in the store. People collude from it and secretly make profits. I'm afraid that there are still many such indiscriminate things up and down my lieutenant's mansion.

"Oh, it turned out that this thief shouted to catch the thief," Qin Yuwan immediately took over and invited her mother. "It's really ulicious to deliberately push it on her mother. Father, Yuwan felt that such a person must never stay in the Qin family again."

Mama Qiao hurriedly kowtowed. She did do this kind of thing of using her authority to get oil and water from it, but she never signed any accounts with Boss Yuan. All of this was a verbal agreement and carried out secretly. What's more, she did everything, not her wife knew it and shared it with her.

"Husband...Madam, you want to..." Mother Qiao's head trembled into her shoulders, opened her mouth, and her mouth was full of yellow teeth with runny nose. The person watching it was very nauseous. She was tearful, but she dared not say more under the hint of Dou Qing'e's eyes.

"It's not just that you can't keep it," Qin Yunuan's eyes flashed a gloomy cold light for the first time. "We also need to find out the wealth of this M Mother's family. What are from this unclean transactions should be handed in."

"That's right," Qin Zi nodded and agreed. He is not stingy with this money. This is a matter of family tradition, and it is also a matter of his face as the head of the family. "Housekeeper Xie, this matter is up to you. As for this thief woman with unclean hands and feet, she will be dealt with according to the family law. Fifty sticks can't be missing. ."

Housekeeper Xie is the old housekeeper who has been busy before. He is also an old man around Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi has always been very reassuring him.

"As for the future account room," Qin Zhi made a long pause, his eyes fell on Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang, and turned around again. He looked at Dou Qing'e beside him, "Let's take care of Qing'e's wife."

Dou Qing'e was relieved, but she still deliberately refused. She knew that she was the only one who was expected to return, so she saluted and took over the power of the housekeeper.

"However, my concubine promised to worship the Buddha for a month, but it hasn't expired yet, I'm afraid..." Dou Qing'e paused.

Qin Yunuan was greeted by Dou Qing'e's rather eye. She raised her eyes and didn't make a sound. Next to Su Chenghai, she quietly said, "Today, the Empress Dowager assists with the six palaces, but she still sincerely recites sutras to the Buddha every day, so according to her nephew's humble opinion, the housekeeper may not be unable to salute the Buddha."

This sentence is in Qin's arms, because it was him who made Dou Qing'e close the door to worship the Buddha, and it was he who made Dou Qing'e take charge again. Su Chenghai's seemingly nosy words made him more confident: "Yes, so Qing'e's wife will be more tired in the future."

Don't be afraid of fatigue, but I'm afraid that the trivialities of the Qin family have nothing to do with her. For Dou Qing'e, losing the power of the housekeeper is the most terrible.

"Naturally, my concubine is determined to do her best." Dou Qing'e quickly got up and blessed herself. Today, she deliberately did not pull up all her long hair. First, she wanted to act like she was in a hurry. Second, Qin Zhi once said that her favorite thing was her long black and bright hair. She moved two steps and wanted to ask Qin Zi where she was going to go back to rest. To be honest, the location of Cuixuan Courtyard It can be said that she is unique. Her purpose is to keep Qin in Cuixuan Courtyard.

Who would have expected that before he could speak, Qin Zhi turned his head and asked Li Qi, "Are you tired? Didn't my wife just say that a new yard has been cleaned up and can be moved there immediately?

Dou Qing'e was stunned and immediately echoed, "Yes, although the newly cleaned Furong Courtyard is a little smaller, it has all the furnishings and so on. If you move over, you can live there immediately."

"Hibiscus Courtyard?" Qin Zhi seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

Qin Yunuan looked up at Dou Qing'e. It seemed that she had not seen her for half a month. Her Taoism was much more advanced. Furongyuan was a very taboo place in the Qin family. At that time, Qin Yunuan was only more than nine years old. I only remembered that there was an aunt surnamed He in the house at that time. She was gentle and touching. She had been living in Furongyuan on her illness and was closed. Later, he died quietly. The next day, he was found by everyone. Qin Zhi also sealed Furong Hospital, saying that he had been ill in this place for a long time, which was unlucky.

"Mother, isn't it suitable for Furongyuan?" Qin Yunuan responded lightly, "When Aunt Li just entered the door and was happy, her mother wouldn't feel that Furongyuan was too unlucky?" Although Qin Yunuan didn't know what Dou Qing'e was thinking, there was no weasel to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken, and his heart was bad.

Qin's face was stiff and his expression was not as natural as before: "There are so many courtyards in the house, why did you choose that yard alone?"

Dou Qing'e was not in a hurry at all: "Master, this arrangement of my concubine has also been considered a lot. First, the Furong Courtyard is close to Shunchang Courtyard; second, in addition to the fact that it has not been lived for a long time, everything else is available. Sister Li can go there directly. This is the third," Dou Qing'e continued with her head. "Concubine I know that the master has been thinking about Sister He. What a wonderful person Sister He is. Since Sister He left, the Master has never really smiled happily. Today, it is rare to see Sister Li to make the Master smile, and why is my sister's inspiration in heaven is so gratified.

At this time, it was already dawn. Housekeeper Xie had recorded the losses and names burned in the begonia courtyard and gave it to Qin Zhi. This time, the loss was not small. The begonia courtyard could not be repaired for a month or two, but it was just a yard. Qin seemed to have been moved. He asked himself that Li Qi Love will not be less than He Lian. Moreover, two months later, the Begonia Courtyard will be repaired and can be moved there.

"Let's do as you say," Qin Zhi rubbed the sour corners of his eyes. "It's not too late, and everyone has dispersed."
