It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 234 Seedless Tea

"Oh? There is some truth in saying that." Mu Liuyun nodded, "Who is responsible for buying the ingredients for the family?"

An old man in his fifties squeezed out from the crowd behind, and said to Mu Liuyun tremblingly, "It's me."

"What are you responsible for purchasing the items in the house?" Mu Liuyun asked.

The old man trembled and said: "My lord, whether it's the old lady, the aunts in the backyard, or the maids and women in the house, anyway, I will go out and buy all the things that need to be imported. Every time I buy them I will report everything and expenses to the second lady one by one, and I have never dared to conceal or misreport.

Not to mention concealing and misreporting, even if the aunt in the family suddenly asks me to help buy some unusual items for no reason, I have to report it to the second wife immediately, and I can buy it only after the second wife nods! "

The second lady also nodded, affirming the old servant's statement: "That's true, the accounts related to the family, including the small warehouse of ingredients and medicinal materials, and the keys are all managed by me personally, and there is no room for any mistakes.

The adults seemed to be honest and gentlemen, and they probably had never seen that kind of smoky back house, so naturally they couldn't know how difficult it is to manage this family in the face of such a group of Yingying and Yanyan.

Before, a concubine of Wu Rongzhi had just entered the house, and was tricked by a servant girl in the mansion so that she drank the seedless tea in a daze. Her stomach hurt so badly that the blood gushed out unstoppably. Many doctors came to see her and drank it. A lot of medicines, in the end, still have a root that will not be able to bear children in this life.

That woman is also a staunch character, she was not willing to be carried into the door herself, and she was murdered like that, she got into a corner all of a sudden, and ran into the yard and jumped into the well at night while her mother-in-law who was guarding her was asleep. "

According to legend, after the first emperor ascended the throne, in order to limit the conception of concubines and concubines in the palace and prevent brothers from happening again, he asked the imperial doctor in the palace to prepare such a pair of tea. Concubine, then give seedless tea directly, after drinking it will generally hurt the root, and can no longer have children.

Later, this seedless tea recipe came out of the palace for some unknown reason, and was used by some princes and nobles to teach their ignorant wives and concubines. I will also prepare such a pair to frighten people and shake my husband.

In the end, even if they were not nobles, but ordinary rich and noble families, they did not know how to inquire about the prescriptions, and there were many random people, especially after being passed on again and again, the dosage in the prescriptions became vague. This ambiguity doesn't matter, and more people are killed by indiscriminate eating.

After more people were killed, there were fewer people who used it indiscriminately. However, although there were many people who were killed because of the inaccurate dosage of seedless tea, no one from above spoke up, and naturally no one from below banned outsiders. The pharmacy made this prescription, so it can still be bought with money.

It's just because the effect of this medicine is really poisonous, so the price is quite expensive. How much monthly money does a maid in Wu Rongzhi's family have, how can he have the money to buy such a thing?
"Then why did the servant girl drink childless tea for the concubine's room? Is this Wu Rongzhi's order?" Mu Liuyun asked with some doubts.

Mrs. Wu Er shook her head: "Wu Rongzhi wished that all the women in his yard would conceive one or two for him. How could he do that! That maid has been with Wu Rongzhi for two or three years, and she thought that she would cater to Wu Rongzhi's thoughts in every way. In the end, she could also be promoted as an aunt. I never thought that Wu Rongzhi would carry her in from the outside as soon as he turned his head. He didn't mention her at all, and asked her to serve the new concubine's room. He took the private money he had saved for a long time, and grabbed a pair of seedless tea.

Poor that concubine who threw herself into the well, it was Wu Rongzhi who forcibly carried her in. She had no intention of fighting for favor, but she was killed by that crazy woman. After that, I replaced all the maids in the house. Those who are housekeepers will all stay in Wu Rongzhi's room to wait on them, and they are not allowed to wander around other people's rooms.

All other chores will be replaced by little girls with clean backgrounds, so that no one will have any evil thoughts.

All imported items need to be reported to me before and after the purchase. This rule was also established at that time. "

After hearing this, Mu Liuyun sighed a little, and then asked, "What about that maid who hurt people?"

She thought that Wu Rongzhi had been able to get along with the other party for two or three years, and there was some affection for him, and maybe he would show mercy when dealing with it.

The second lady sneered and said, "Wu Rongzhi was drinking and having fun with people outside. He didn't return for a few days. When he got home, he heard that his new concubine was forced to death by the old Tongfang. Those people dragged the Tongfang into the woodshed.

What happened in the backyard, I am afraid that no one in the backyard dared to go to check, and no one dared to ask, but the heart-piercing cry of that girl, everyone in the backyard back then probably heard it clearly.

After two or three days, those few people went to get a roll of straw mat, rolled up the maid, carried it out and threw it in a random graveyard. Since then, no one in the family has mentioned this matter again. A new sixth aunt was born, she was beautiful but stubborn, Wu Rongzhi felt bored, after that, after less than a month, Qiniang came in.

If it weren't for the sealed well that no one can use in the backyard, no one would have remembered what happened there in the past, and even the common room would have been almost forgotten. "

The second lady sighed, with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

Qiniang, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale again when she finished talking about the past, as if she was a little frightened. .

The second wife took the accounts prepared in advance from the side, and handed them to Mu Liuyun: "The records of the mansion for the past six months are all here, sir, you can check them one by one, and there is absolutely no omission."

Mu Liuyun usually has the most headache looking at these trivial things. Mrs. Wu handed them over, but she had to pick them up. She took them and looked back at Shen Yu behind her. Shen Yu immediately turned his eyes away from her, as if he was afraid It will be the same as being called to help check the account.

Mu Liuyun glanced at her angrily, and then at Yuan Mu, this big Buddha is definitely not for reading accounts!
So she decisively handed the account book to Jiang Jin: "Brother Jiang, please take a look."

As the governor of the state capital, Jiang Jin is the best at dealing with these trivial things on weekdays, so it's wrong to find him!
