The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence only felt cold sweat all over his body.
When the wind blew, it was comparable to torture.
It was quiet in the room, and no one dared to speak easily, for fear that the next moment, they would be the ones who would be caught.
Lin Mengya no longer pressured the shopkeeper of Fushan Residence. She turned her head and looked at the steward who was obviously pretending to be calm.
"And you, since you are responsible for ordering the goods, it is also your personal behavior to temporarily change the goods. Didn't you just talk to me about the rules? Well, let's talk about the rules properly. "
She took out another stack of account books and threw them directly in front of everyone.
"When my aunt, the late madam, was still alive, at the beginning and the end of every month, the mansion would pay for the business in charge of food and clothing. Including you, Fushan Residence. Am I right? "
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence nodded fiercely, but did not even dare to look at her.
However, the old woman was not afraid. She said with a mean smile, "That's true, but there is always an exception. When my late madam was still alive, there was such a precedent. "
Lin Mengya glared at her and suddenly said something that was of no importance.
"You used to be an old maid in charge of washing, but I didn't expect that you know so well about the affairs of the accounting office."
The old maid didn't understand the meaning of her words, and Lin Mengya also changed the topic.
"Indeed, there are some things that are indeed exceptions. For example, a while ago, in order to prepare for my uncle's marriage, you ordered 100 jars of Nu 'er Hong in the name of the wedding wine.
The cost of these 100 jars of wine was really not small, and it was a total of 4,500 taels of silver. This example was broken quickly. Before the wine was put into the warehouse, the money had been settled. "
Hearing her words, everyone was shocked.
In fact, the wine was a little expensive, but at most 1,000 taels of silver was more than enough.
As for the extra 3,500 taels of silver, they put the money into their own pockets in the form of rebates.
When Madam Duan Ling Tian found out about this matter, she didn't do anything. Instead, she held all of them in her hands.
Now it was suddenly found out, and they couldn't help but feel more guilty.
But the old maid became more stubborn.
"When Master marries, the wedding wine is naturally the best. Little Sister Ya didn't know that the wine was imported from outside. It was the best wine the aboriginals had ever seen before. Just a jar of wine like that would cost more than a hundred taels of silver outside! "
Lin Mengya glanced at the old maid as if she was looking at a fool.
"Isn't it the Nu 'er Hong that was transported from the Southeast? At most, they sell it for thirty taels of silver per jar. If you buy a lot, you'll get a discount. "
She easily exposed the old maid's lie.
Even the shopkeeper of Fortune Residence was dumbfounded.
One had to know that this business was exclusive to him. When he went out to buy goods, he found a shop selling it and immediately thought of a way to transport the wine back.
The aboriginals were extremely xenophobic. Other than merchants like him, no one else would easily come out to do business with outsiders.
It was also because of this that he teamed up with the steward, wanting to use a high price as a commission to line his own pockets.
But how could this weak-looking Little Sister Ya in front of him know the price so clearly?
There was no other reason. He only thought that the wine was sold by a big chamber of commerce.
Although the prices of all the goods sold by the big chambers of commerce varied, in addition to the capital and profits, the cost of storage and transportation was also an important factor in the price of the goods.
This was because they had to reduce the cost to the minimum in order to obtain a stable profit.
Therefore, in terms of transportation costs, they had always calculated it based on the mileage and storage conditions.
Lin Mengya was also a person who wanted everything to be simple. Therefore, she had compiled all the transportation costs into a table that could be used as a reference.
The goods that were regarded as rare goods by them could only be sold by the big chambers of commerce from other places.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Fortune Residence staggered and almost knelt down in front of her.
"Little Sister Ya, please spare me! I'm guilty. I shouldn't have done this. I deserve to die! "
The chain of interests collapsed instantly.
The old maid and the purchasing steward stared at the shopkeeper in exasperation.
Lin Mengya looked at them coldly. She felt that these people hired by Madam Duan were really mentally weak.
"Your crime is the lightest. As for you two, I'd like to ask you. Now the Zhao Family is really a group of dragons without a leader. Do you think you can deceive them with these dirty tricks? "
At this point, the two of them insisted that they didn't know about this matter and refused to admit it.
Lin Mengya was not angry with them. Instead, she smiled and said, "Well, since you said you didn't know, I'll pretend that you didn't know. But today's matter, as well as the matter of the wine, you are also guilty of negligence. Well, according to the rules left by my aunt, each of you will be flogged 20 times. Zhao Qiang, from today on, you can go back to your stable and work honestly. "
The result of this matter was really a happy one and a sad one.
Zhao Qiang, who was in charge of purchasing, held a grudge in his heart.
But what he couldn't figure out was that it was his superior who took the lead in this matter, and they were also the ones who came up with the idea. But why was he the only one who suffered?
And there was also the old maid who was in charge of the palace treasury.
In the whole matter, she was the one who came up with the most ideas and took the most.
Why was she safe and sound in the end, and could continue to sit in that position and make money?
Once the seed of jealousy was planted, it would quickly germinate in unwillingness, and then it would bear the consequences and become a fatal poison for some people.
And Lin Mengya was waiting for this result.
Snowflakes fell slowly.
Lin Mengya just glanced at the crystal world outside, and continued to snuggle in front of the warm stove to read.
She was as busy as a top in the mansion, but Long Tianhao was much more free than her.
These days, he had been going to the hot spring house for recovery treatment.
It was the effect of the stone milk hot spring, or Long Tianhao's strong will.
He couldn't completely rely on his own strength to stand up for half a month, but now he could easily stand up for a few minutes.
Lin Mengya didn't know how much effort he had put in, but the muscles under her head had tightened a lot.
But Long Tianhao was energetic every day, so he must be in a good mood.
"Master! Something happened! "
Cai Ru hurriedly rushed in. Although she was shouting anxiously, there was not a trace of worry in her eyes.
Lin Mengya glanced at her and covered her legs with a small blanket.
Then she said, "Don't let the wind in. What happened?"
Cai Ru came closer and said in a low voice, "That old maid He is dead!
It was just an accident. It was said that when she passed by the stable this morning, she was kicked to death by a crazy horse inside! " Lin Mengya's eyes flashed, and then she asked about the follow-up treatment, as if she didn't care much.
Lin Mengya's eyes flickered, and then she asked about the subsequent handling of the situation as if she didn't care much.
Speaking of this, Cai Ru felt that it was interesting.
"Oh, you didn't see it with your own eyes. After that old maid He died, the old maids who were close to her didn't deal with her funeral immediately, but fought for the things she left behind.
I thought that as an old maid, she couldn't have any good things. Oh, I didn't expect that there was such a thick pile of banknotes in her room, and there were other things!
It's no wonder they're in such a sorry state! "
Cai Ru pinched with two fingers. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was not a lie.
Lin Mengya had already expected this.
After Sicui and the others were taken over, Madam Duan promoted three people, both openly and secretly.
But in fact, only the old maid He, who was in charge of the laundry, was her real confidant.
The palace treasury was more important than the other two things, so Madam Duan relied on old maid He to win people's hearts.
As for how Lin Mengya knew, when she came back, she smelled the faint smell of medicine on Elder Zhao's body.
The supervisor in charge of the kitchen was Elder Zhao's person, and she had reminded her last time. So the medicine that almost made Elder Zhao fall into the trap was definitely not from his food.
The study was an important place, and ordinary people couldn't enter.
And it had been a few days. Even if Elder Zhao took a bath every day, he still couldn't get rid of the smell of medicine. Then the problem was likely to be in the things he carried with him.
Among them, clothes were the most likely and the least likely to arouse suspicion.
Then she learned from Sicui about the original work of the three people.
She found the key point of the matter in an instant.
"It's freezing outside. You don't have to go to such a lively scene, Madam."
Long Tianhao put down the medicine stove in his hand, and gently stroked his wife's long hair with his big hand, which still had the smell of medicine.
Lin Mengya touched his slightly wet forehead.
"I don't want to, so I'll come back as soon as possible. You stay here and smoke your leg. I'll change the medicine for you when you come back. "
Long Tianhao was not used to her attitude of coaxing a child.
He raised the corner of his mouth helplessly. "Madam, I feel much better recently. I don't need to smoke my leg anymore, do I?"
More importantly, he felt like he was being surrounded by his wife, and he even had to carry a small medicine stove to smoke his legs. He looked a little like a child.
But Doctor Lin was ruthless.
Straightening up, she rejected his request mercilessly.
"No way. If your condition recurs, it will show that my medical skills are poor. Listen to me, don't step out of this room before I come back. If you dare to disobey my order, I'll add two more stoves of medicine for you tomorrow! "
After saying that, she left with Cai Ru.
In the room, Long Tianhao held the small medicine stove in his arms, and the smile on his face gradually widened.
