Chapter 24 Gu Long's Calculation

No money?How can it be!

When doing the accounting last month, she purposely left 5000 taels in the public account. Usually, the monthly expenses of the Gu family are only 2000 taels. Even if it is extravagant, it is enough for the Gu family to spend for two months.

Two months later, the autumn grain arrived, and there was also farm produce in the shop and Zhuangzi. It was said that it could harvest at least 4000 taels.

Why is it that in less than half a month, 5000 taels are gone?

Even a wealthy businessman’s family doesn’t spend money so fast!

Mrs. Gu was already angry and angry. After hearing these words from the housekeeper of the Gu family, she became even more furious, "Where is the money from the father!"

The butler knelt down on the ground with a "plop", "Going back to Madam, this old slave doesn't know. I just went to the cashier to withdraw money to buy horses, so I know..."

"Bring all the accountants to me! Bring the account books too!" Mrs. Gu said sternly.

The housekeeper immediately agreed and hurriedly took the guards to the accounting room to get someone.

After a while, the two accounting gentlemen in the accounting room were escorted to Mrs. Gu by their guards.

Mrs. Gu looked at it and frowned, "Where's Manager Mao?"

Two accountants lay on the ground trembling, one of them said in a low voice: "Mrs. Mao, Guan Mao was not at the house two days ago. He said that his old mother was seriously ill, and he took leave to visit his old mother."

Mrs. Gu slapped the small table next to her, and Guan Mao had to ask for leave at this time. If the accountant's affairs had nothing to do with him, he would be damned!

"Bring the account books!"

The maid next to her immediately presented the account book brought by Mr. Accountant to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu opened the account book and her hands trembled in anger after reading it.

Less than half of this month has passed, and Master Gu Gu Long actually spent 800 taels!Among them, 600 taels were used by him to buy texts, calligraphy and paintings and gave them to his superiors and colleagues!
The yamen where Gu Long worked was basically an idle yamen, and the people who worked in the yamen were all casual officials. It was okay not to go to dianmao for a year, but he spent money on these people!
Gu Hongchao spent no less than his father, and at the beginning of the month he took away 1000 taels.

Madam Gu took a deep breath and asked, "What did Hong Chao do with the 1000 taels?"

The accountant lay on the ground and whispered softly: "Listen... I heard that the young master bought jewelry for Miss Bai... At the beginning of the month, Miss Bai added a box of new clothes and several sets of precious jewelry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu almost spit out her blood in anger. She spent 1000 taels on clothes and jewelry!This is still a month old!
No wonder Bai Lingge didn't wear the same clothes every time she saw him.

Even if it is herself, Gu Yufei, or even the eldest princess, she only adds a few sets of new clothes every year when the seasons change, so the annual cost of clothes for the whole family is only 1000 taels.

It's good for Bai Lingge, one person spends more in a month than a large family!
In the past, when the Gu family had a lot of money, Mrs. Gu was also dissatisfied, but she didn't feel anything. Now that there is no money in the public account, and suddenly lost so much property, she suddenly feels pain.

Although Mao Guan is greedy, he keeps the accounts very detailed. Mrs. Gu's ability can't see any problems in it.

"Isn't there still 3000 taels left in the public account, where did it go?" Mrs. Gu shouted angrily.

The two accountants lowered their heads and quickly told the truth. They only learned about it after Mao Guanshi left.

"She was… taken away by Her Royal Highness the Princess…"

When Mrs. Gu heard the words "His Royal Highness", she immediately threw the account book on the ground.

She got up and walked around the flower hall with her hips akimbo, "Are you all useless! 3000 taels, if Her Royal Highness wants to take it away? Has anyone come to tell me?"

Mr. Accountant said aggrievedly: "Madam, we didn't find out until later. On that day, Her Royal Highness's eldest maid came with her fierce bodyguards and asked Steward Mao away. After Steward Mao took leave, we all settled the accounts." I just found out about this..."

Although the eldest young master is not usually close to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is the eldest princess after all. She has a distinguished status and is the master of the Gu family just like the eldest young master. The madam has never said that the eldest princess will not be allowed to withdraw money. Even if they I discovered it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, until today the housekeeper led someone to escort him to the madam.

Mrs. Gu became more and more angry when she heard this.

The servants in the room did not dare to vent their quiet atmosphere.

At this time, the maid beside Mrs. Gu walked quickly to Madam Ge, and said in a low voice: "Second Miss wants to eat the noodles at Huaixiang Pavilion. Today, the price of the noodles at Huaixiang Pavilion has increased. It costs 20 taels of silver for a table. The accountant can't pay the money, so the second lady's personal nurse asked me to ask what happened."

Even if the maid said it to Granny Ge in a suppressed voice, Mrs. Gu heard it.

She was already very angry, but Gu Yufei still had to spend 20 taels to eat noodles in a restaurant!

Even Mrs. Gu, who loves her daughter very much on weekdays, couldn't help cursing: "Her brother is hurt like this, she still has the mind to eat rice noodles! Someone call Yu Fei to serve his brother to take medicine!"

Ge Momo hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Hey", and then drove the maid out to talk.

The low pressure in the flower hall lasted for almost two quarters of an hour before Mrs. Gu pressed her forehead and ordered the maid next to her, "Go to my room and get 1000 taels for Butler Gu to temporarily support the expenses of the house."

The maid walked quickly.

Mrs. Gu looked at the butler with a serious face, "Old Gu, you come to report to me every other day about the use of the house. In this house, except for me, no one else is allowed to withdraw money from the public account without permission!"

The butler quickly handed it over.

In the past, Mrs. Gu had a lot of income from Qin Shuhuang's properties. In the past few years, she had saved a lot of money, but now these properties were suddenly gone. If she was asked to give out 1000 taels, she would be exhausted. It hurts so much.

Whether it was the loss of property or Gu Hongfeng's injury today, Mrs. Gu was greatly stimulated. Originally, no matter how much she disliked Qin Shuhuang, she would not show it in front of other people, but today she couldn't hold back, every expression and movement was full of excitement Dissatisfaction with Qin Shuhuang.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, but Qin Shuhuang was not in Gu's mansion at this time, so she didn't even have the chance to question her face to face.

Thinking of the courtyard where Qin Shuhuang lived and the expensive and valuable dowry in the Gu family's warehouse, Mrs. Gu became greedy. Since Qin Shuhuang dared to take the money from the Gu family's account at will, then she took the money in her courtyard. Good things and dowry, when Qin Shuhuang comes back, he will be mad when he sees the empty yard!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu felt a little refreshed in her heart.

She ordered Nanny Ge beside her.

Mother Ge was originally a "dog" beside Mrs. Gu, and she did whatever Mrs. Gu said.

After listening to Mrs. Gu's words, Mother Ge summoned the maidservants to follow Mrs. Gu to Qin Shuhuang's yard.

Before the group went out, Gu Long came back.

Gu Long just went to see Gu Hongfeng, and when he saw Mrs. Gu like this, his face became even more ugly, "What are you going to do!"

Mrs. Gu calmed down a lot when she saw Master Gu's ugly face.

Gu Long glanced at the servants behind Mrs. Gu, "What are you still doing? Go and do whatever you shouldn't be doing! If you try to seduce Mrs. Gu again, you will be sold out of the house tomorrow!"

Grandma Ge glanced at Mrs. Gu and saw that Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, so she immediately dismissed the assembled maids and women.

Gu Long looked at Mrs. Gu, "Come in with me!"

Even though Mrs. Gu complained before that Gu Long spent so much money every month, she didn't dare to say anything in front of Gu Long.

Gu Long already knew what happened today.

Today, the news that the dandy of the Xia family had his son crippled has reached his yamen.

His yamen was already idle, so of course this matter became a topic of conversation in the yamen, and he came out of the yamen with a dark face.

After entering the room, Mrs. Gu cried and told Gu Long again what happened today.

Gu Long's face darkened, "What were you going to do just now, to steal the eldest princess's yard? Then hand the eldest princess a knife, and drag everyone in our Gu family into trouble?"

Mrs. Gu who was crying suddenly choked, she stared at her husband with wide eyes, "With Hong Chao here, she dares!"

"Would she dare, haven't you already experienced it?" Gu Long narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mrs. Gu was speechless now.

After a moment, he thought about it and said, "The eldest princess only wants Hongchao now and wants to abandon our Gu family?"

In the past, Gu Long thought so, but now he is not sure either.

Can his eldest son really trip up the eldest princess?

Mrs. Gu was a little scared, "Master, what shall we do?"

Gu Long twisted his fingers, "Originally, I wanted to tell you about this matter after a while, but what happened today, I will tell you in advance, a few days ago, I had a relationship with General Liu."

In addition to the Xia family, the sincere uncle of the Yue family, the regent Qin Wei also has two most trusted generals under his command, one civil and one military. The military general is the General Liu mentioned by Gu Long.The civil servant's surname was Luo, and his name was Luo Chu. Luo Chu did not hold any official position in the court, but was just an aide to Qin Wei. He lived in seclusion on weekdays, and few people knew what Luo Chu looked like.

Mrs. Gu was surprised. She thought Gu Long spent so much money every month in vain, but she didn't expect it to be really useful.

But in a flash, she frowned. Her husband obviously wanted to use General Liu to gain access to the regent.

She said: "The Xia family is the regent's in-law family, do I really not care about Hong Feng? Although Hong Feng is useless, he is my and my flesh and blood! If you, the father, don't avenge him, who will avenge him!" "

Gu Long patted Mrs. Gu's hand reassuringly, "Hongfeng's revenge will naturally be avenged. Our enemy is the Xia family, not the regent. Who said the regent will always rely on the Xia family?"

Only then did Mrs. Gu understand what her husband meant.

Today, the Holy Emperor is already at a young age, but he has not yet taken charge, and has been suppressed by the regent.

If the regent had the idea of ​​returning to power, he would have handed over the power one after another as early as the emperor, but the regent Qin Wei not only did not do so, but delayed until the emperor was 20 years old and still firmly held the regent power.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

If the emperor completely becomes the regent's puppet, Qin Shuhuang, the eldest princess, will be nothing.

For the future of the Gu family, it is natural to rely on the regent.

Gu Long saw his wife's disdain and dissatisfaction with the eldest princess, and reminded: "But before the matter is settled, our Gu family still has to rely on the eldest princess! So you have to hold back even if you endure it! When Hongfeng is in better health, You let people watch him, don't let him go out and cause trouble."

"In addition, Hongchao Na can no longer follow him like this. He is talented and resourceful, but he just lacks a chance. Let him apologize to the eldest princess and consummate his marriage with the eldest princess. As long as the eldest princess has his child, he will She will be able to enter the court and become a fourth-rank official. If the eldest princess is unhappy, she will give up the child in Miss Bai's belly! When the emperor has an official status, she will take Miss Bai as her second wife."
