Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 168 Calculation One by One
Everyone looked up and saw Li Xiangyu walking in wearing a red satin dress.

Li Xiangyu's face was displeased, her eyes were sullen, and she walked up to Changchun with an expression of unwillingness. She walked up to Changchun and saluted, "I'm offended, princess, but what I said is right. If the princess really wants to help , we will give interest when the time comes, why do we need this house? Once the general's mansion is mortgaged, how can Yuan Su have any face?"

Changchun didn't realize it for a while, mainly because she didn't expect Li Xiangyu to say such brazen words. After being stunned for a while, she said lightly: "Oh, so Madam doesn't agree to mortgage the house? Then let's let it go. The general should give the silver."

There was a layer of anger between Yuan Su's eyebrows, and he said angrily in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? It is very good that the princess is willing to help, how can there be such a shameless request?"

"Shameless?" Li Xiangyu sneered. Before she came, she planned to fight it out. "Who is shameless? You spent all your wealth while she was alive, but now you have to come back to plunder after death. What is that? thing?"

Qing He said coldly: "Ma'am, explain your words carefully and clearly, how Qing He spent all the wealth of General Yuan's family during his lifetime."

Li Xiangyu looked up, looked directly at Qinghe, and said word by word: "My concubine has been with Princess Qinghe for many years. She used to spend a lot of money, and she likes to show off and give gifts to save face. It is common for her to spend 1000 taels of silver a month. Things, there are some things outsiders don't know, but the concubine knows that all the money in the mansion belongs to the county supervisor, among which she spent, there is Yuan Su's money, and it is not impossible to return the money to her, but the premise We have to calculate all the money she has spent in the general's mansion for so many years, and deduct this part, I believe, we can get some back."

Qinghe smiled instead of anger, "Yes, Madam used to be by the princess' side, so she should be very clear about the princess's way of doing things and daily expenses."

She raised her voice and shouted: "Come here, call the accountant in the mansion over, let him clear up the money he has withdrawn over the years, and then calculate the comparison of the money the princess received from the fiefdom, and everything will be clear."

Li Xiangyu wasn't afraid at all, because she still didn't believe that Yuan Su had been an official for many years, but he had no money at all. Qinghe spent so much money, all of which was her own money?Impossible, she didn't believe it.

Changchun glanced at Qinghe, "Do the math?"

"It should be clearer." Qinghe smiled, "Although according to the law, the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in charge of the house. The husband makes money and the wife manages the housework. During the husband and wife's co-existence, the husband is responsible for all household expenses, and the wife's dowry belongs to the wife. Private money. However, since Madam is dissatisfied, it’s okay to calculate.”

The income and expenses of the family, every transaction has an entry and exit account, and the account book is clearly written. If you really want to calculate it, then it is far more than the 1 taels of silver.

Yuan Su felt that there was no need to forget it, he said: "I should have paid all the expenses of the mansion in the past, even if I took the account book and settled it, she had a lot of expenses, so I should have given them for granted."

Li Xiangyu suddenly changed his face, "Then what if she sticks to her natal family?"

"This..." Yuan Su was taken aback, it was not unreasonable to give presents to her natal family during the festival, but if there were too many postings, it would be unreasonable.

Li Xiangyu restrained his expression for a while, knowing that his tone was a bit harsh, so he softened and said, "I am also thinking of you, you are a great general, how can you go out to rent a house? Don't say that the officials laugh at you, even the emperor will condemn you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang sneered, "Following her mother's family? It's ridiculous, ma'am, if you have followed Qinghe sincerely all these years, you will know that Qinghe has never betrayed her mother's family, but her mother's family has always been loyal to her. Otherwise, you Do you think Yuan Su is so likable in Beijing? During the holidays, there are so many nobles visiting?"

Li Xiangyu said: "Mrs. Ning, please ask Mr. Accountant to figure out whether it is wrong or not."

She has been by Qinghe's side for many years. Although she doesn't know the ins and outs of the money, she has seen Qinghe spend a lot of money. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as spending money like running water.

Since Princess Yili said it could be calculated, that would be the best.

At that moment, Li Xiangyu ordered Chanjuan to find Mr. Accountant to come over, and bring over all the account books from these years to calculate them one by one.

After a while, the accountant came, holding a stack of account books in his hand.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the calculation of the income and expenditure for so many years," Changchun said.

Qinghe said: "It won't take long. The accountant should have a monthly account every month, a quarterly account every quarter, and a general ledger every year. Just calculate the large numbers."

Hearing Qinghe's words, Mr. Accountant was slightly astonished. He looked up at Qinghe, wondering in his heart, how could this princess know?The general accounting office only makes a summary every year, but he does the accounting every month, every quarter and every year under the guidance of Princess Qinghe, so the accounts are very clear, and the income and expenditure can also be shown in a chart.

Changchun asked the accountant, "How long will it take you to figure it out?"

The accountant replied respectfully: "If you want to return to the princess, give the servant an hour, and the servant can sort out the complete income account."

"Okay, I'll give you an hour!" Chang Chun said.

The accountant sat down, took out the abacus, opened the account book, and began to calculate.

In less than an hour, the accountant stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Princess, the account has been settled."

"Read it!" Qinghe said calmly.

"Yes!" Mr. Accountant picked up the account book, wrote down the total amount calculated just now, and confirmed it in a list, "Master Qinghe has been married to the General's Mansion for eight years. During the eight years, the mansion's expenses are 13 taels. These , are all collected by the princess from the slaves, and are used for the expenses of the mansion and the private expenses of the princess."

Hearing this, Li Xiangyu laughed loudly, "Look, in eight years, it took 13 taels. Can you say that all the money is her own?"

"In this total, how much money is used for the expenses of the mansion? How much is for the personal expenses of the Princess?" Qing He asked.

The accountant replied: "If you go back to the princess, it is 300 taels for the expenses of the mansion. Apart from the daily expenses, some of it is used to repair the mansion. Every year, there is a big feast for the old general's wife's birthday banquet. . , mainly donated. Among them, for the drought in the Southwest, five thousand silver was donated, and for the earthquake in northern Jiangsu, five thousand silver was donated to the Salesian Bureau, 1000 taels a year. I gave a thousand to the old bustard in the brothel..."

"You're talking nonsense," Li Xiangyu blushed, "She saved me and left, so why did she pay the 1000 taels for me?"
