The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 386

Xiao Wanwan tapped lightly on the table with her fingers, and raised her eyelids: "Wronged? Then explain why you have acted like this? I just sent someone to check. This group of embroidery There is only one penny in the mother's purse, which is far from the three pennies stipulated by the palace rules, what they said is the truth, but they didn't deliberately accuse and frame you."

The accountant aunt had a flattering smile on her face, and she spoke in a leisurely manner: "My lady has never been in touch with the distribution of monthly silver, so naturally she doesn't know the way of it. Three hanging money, but it has always been halved, this is an old customary rule."

"Old rules?"

"Yes, ma'am," the accountant aunt continued, "these embroiderers are not quick at hand, and those expensive materials and precious embroidery threads are always damaged by them. The price of these things is far more than a few pennies In order to sympathize with their hardships, the palace only confiscated half of their monthly money, which is an extrajudicial mercy."

If the material and embroidery thread are damaged, these lowly embroiderers may not be able to afford to pay for it if they ruin their entire family.

Detaining half of their money really gave this group of people great face, but they didn't expect them to be ungrateful to Dade, and even ran to the empress to complain.

Thinking of this, the accountant aunt felt angry. She bit her cheek and gave the embroidered girls a threatening look.

Xiao Wanwan was not moved by her words, she took a sip of tea, with a half-smile: "I really don't know the way of distributing the monthly money in the palace, but the delivery and storage of items is very difficult. This palace is in charge." Xiao Wanwan looked at the accountant aunt coldly, "Embroidery girls have always noticed problems when they buy things that are worn out. Except for the most precious items, everything else For more purchases, these expenses will be paid in advance by the treasury. I don’t know when these embroiderers will pay for it themselves.”

The accountant aunt choked for a moment, her mind spinning rapidly to think of a way to deal with it.

"Ma'am," the accountant girl swallowed, "it's not very prosperous recently, everyone is promoting frugality, and the slaves are also thinking about the threat of deducting monthly money. These embroidering ladies will be more cautious in their hearts. Treat the fabric and embroidery thread."

Xiao Wanwan smiled gratifiedly: "If the palace is full of people like aunt who think about their family and country, I'm afraid that the way of frugality will soon see results."

The accountant aunt quickly waved her hand, her face blooming with a smile: "I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, the empress has too much reputation."

Xiao Wanwan changed the subject, and asked gently: "Why didn't the money go into the treasury? According to you, half of the monthly money has been withheld for several years, but I haven't received it once." This account."

"Ma'am, this..."

"Ok?"

"The servant only cares about collecting money, other... I don't know anything else."

Xiao Wanwan let out a "huh", resting her chin on her arms, her light eyes flicked across Aunt Accountant's face, and Aunt Accountant's heart skipped a beat when she saw it: "It's not easy to take care of one acre of land. It is really embarrassing for you to ask anything else, I happen to be going to Yining Palace, so you can go with me."

"My lady..."

Cheng Shuang helped Xiao Wanwan get up, when Xiao Wanwan was about to walk out the door, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows: "Why, you don't want to go with Ben Gong?"
