After leaving the warehouse, Minghui, Fen Ge, Bai Zhu and others did not leave, but waited outside.
Although the three did not say anything, they were all a little worried about Zheng Xiu.
...Their wife asked for the account book, and it seemed that she was going to count the property in the warehouse. I don’t know if this will upset the Second Master.
To put it bluntly, the things in the warehouse of Hao Yetang are all the Second Master’s private money.
As masters, how can they be willing to let their wives manage their private money.
I just saw that the Second Master’s face was not very good. I don’t know if there will be a conflict with his wife...
In the warehouse, Xue Zhi said unhappily: "What are you doing here? It smells moldy."
Zheng Xiu said: "Look at your family background, what else can you do."
"If you want to see it, I'll have someone bring the account book over. Just look at the account book and ask them to move out whatever you want to see. There's no need to stand here and eat dust."
Zheng Xiu smiled playfully, "Those are all your assets. I asked people to move them here and there. Aren't you afraid that something will be missing?"
Xue Zhi waved his hand generously and said, "What do you mean mine? Will it all be yours from now on? Take care of your things yourself, and don't tell me if anything is missing." Thinking of how he only gave Zheng Xiu a few jade pieces when he married her, he felt that he was treating her worse. Not to mention the things in this warehouse, as long as he had them and she wanted them, it wouldn't matter if she took them all.
Zheng Xiu frowned and looked distressed, "How should I spend so much money? Oh, I really can't think of a solution for a while."
Xue Zhi laughed, "I think we should choose a place in the capital to buy a spacious house, so that my father-in-law and my father-in-law can stay here. It's better to buy a house nearby so that you can move around easily. You can keep the silver ingots here. I have some banknotes in the study in front. You can buy them first."
Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll hide my private money."
Xue Zhi waved his hand, "No more, no more. I have revealed everything."
Zheng Xiu was teasing him on purpose. Seeing his amused look, she said, "You bought me a house just because we had a disagreement. I never thought you were such a Xue Zhi!"
Xue Zhi also laughed and said, "I never thought you were such an Ah Xiu."
Zheng Xiu held back her laughter and looked at him while biting her lip, "What kind of Ah Xiu am I?"
Xue Zhi wanted to hug her and kiss her cherry red lips, "I never thought my Ah Xiu was so good and brave that she was willing to come to the capital alone for me."
His words were harsh and his eyes were fiery, which made Zheng Xiu blush.
She stamped her feet and spat at him, "You are such a jerk!" Then she walked out quickly.
Xue Zhi hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "Do you still want the things in the warehouse?"
Zheng Xiu smiled without turning her head, "Yes, of course, let someone send the account book over."
Xue Zhi chuckled and followed her out with a silly smile.
Minghui, Fen Ge, Bai Zhu and others who were outside only heard the last part, and thought to themselves that it was fortunate that the Second Master was not angry. But the Second Master's reaction... was really too strange. It was as if he was in a hurry to send the things to his wife.
Zheng Xiu returned to the main house. Xue Shao was wandering around aimlessly with Ji Lei. When he saw her, he quickly followed her and called her softly, "Mom, why are you walking here so fast? Is there someone chasing you?" He looked behind her as he said that.
"It's okay, I'm just... just taking a walk." Zheng Xiu said a little embarrassedly.
Xue Shao said "Oh" and continued to play with Ji Lei.
...These adults are all weird. First it was his father, and now even his mother is like this.
Xue Zhi thought the servant was too slow, so he went to get the account book himself.
Xue Shao saw him and called him. He was just about to ask if his father was watching him boxing now.
Xue Zhi nodded and strode past him without stopping. Thinking of Zheng Xiu's reaction just now, he felt itchy in his heart and just wanted to continue to watch her.
Xue Shao:? ? ?
Zheng Xiu was quiet in the room for a while before she felt calm.
Not long after, Xue Zhi also brought the account book in.
Why is this person haunting me? Zheng Xiu kept muttering to herself. She took the account book without looking at him and started to look through it.
The account book recorded the income and expenditure of Hao Yetang in recent years. The income was only a number without details. The expenditure was written down in great detail.
Although Zheng Xiu was not an accountant in her previous life, she took the accounting certificate exam when she was in college, so ordinary accounts were not difficult for her.
She asked Minghui to bring in an abacus and clacking away at the account book.
Fortunately, the level of abacus she learned in elementary school was still there.
After a round of settlement, the numbers in the account book were all right, and there were still 35,000 taels of silver left in the warehouse.
This was already an astronomical figure for Zheng Xiu.
Xue Zhi sat beside her and watched her finish the calculation. He said with disappointment, "That's all." Then he thought of the dozen or so shops in good locations and several manors in the suburbs of Beijing under his name. The annual dividend should be several tens of thousands of taels. He took out a stack of banknotes he had just taken from the study and put them in front of Zheng Xiu, "Here I need another 50,000 taels, all my assets. I'll ask someone to find the accounts of other shops and manors, and bring them all to you."
Since everything was settled, it didn't hurt to look at them together. Zheng Xiu nodded and said, "You ask someone to find them, and I'll calculate them together."
Xue Zhi had been away from home for many years. Princess Guihe was in charge of the imperial gifts, so naturally she was in charge of his things all these years. Xue Zhi sent a servant to Changfeng Garden to ask for them.
Princess Guihe didn't say anything after hearing this. She asked Qiurui to get the account book and asked the servant casually, "Why did Second Master want to count the accounts?" She knew Ah Zhi well. He used to be too lazy to care about those things at home and just threw them aside. If she hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on him and check them from time to time, she didn't know what kind of trouble the people below would make.
The servant smiled and replied, "Second Master doesn't have such thoughts. It was because Madam asked about it that Second Master asked me to ask for the account book." Princess
Guihe couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't expect that it had only been a few days since Ah Zhi came back, and Zheng's hands had already stretched so far? She even asked about the manor and shop that the old Duke left for Ah Zhi?
But Ah Zhi was the same. When people asked about it, he would eagerly hand it over?
Princess Guihe said unhappily, "What about your second master? Did he say something else?" Zheng and Azhi had been married for a short time, and had just come to the Duke of Qing's mansion. Princess Guihe felt that Xue Zhi would probably not be willing to hand over his wealth to him. If Zheng took charge of all the accounts, Xue Zhi would have to go through her whenever he needed money. Masters, they care more about face than money.
