It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Yun Shu blinked and said, "Why only pay the deposit? Don't we always pay it all at once?"

She had never heard that one had to pay a deposit for buying groceries. Although she had never managed a household, she had heard about how to manage a household.

Butler Xie heard Yun Shu say, "The Marquis' Mansion is a little tight on accounts lately." Besides, people outside don't know that the Marquis' Mansion is short of funds, so they all want to do business with the Marquis' Mansion, even on credit.

Yun Shu waved his hand and said: "Never mind, I'm not in a good mood today, so I'll give you one thousand taels from my personal vault."

After hearing this, Butler Xie was so excited that he almost shed tears. He thought Xie Yunshu was in a bad mood and would not give him the silver, but he did not expect that he would directly give him one thousand taels of silver.

Miss Yunshu is still that naive and innocent girl.

Not only was there enough money for food now, but he could also pay part of the money for the blood swallow ginseng that the old lady had bought in the past few days, the calligraphy and paintings that Xie Liangping had bought, and the various bird's nests that Li Yuling had bought, to avoid being chased for debt.

He is really smart, he divided it like this.

Mo Mo took out the silver, and Butler Xie took it and was about to leave when Yun Shu reminded him, "Butler Xie, you forgot to sign."

Butler Xie took a look at the document and signed his name to prove that he had taken the one thousand taels.

Momo saw him walking away and said, "How shameless! You even dare to buy things on credit."

Yun Shu said, "Let them go crazy for two more days. Li Yuling's account book looks fine at first glance, but I don't think she would do that. Call Zhang Sansi when you have time."

Zhang Sansi is good at accounting, so his auditing should be good too.

The two of them should be getting better soon. It's almost the end of the year, and the shops downstairs should have tributes. She wants to see how many of them are Li Yuling's.

Originally, the biggest event in the Marquis' Mansion was Xie Qingyun's wedding on December 20th. Li Yuling had already calculated the expenses for that day and saved up the money. It was really extravagant.

The Marquis' Mansion was out of money, but Li Yuling had actually advanced one thousand taels for the day's expenses, and now all the thousand taels had been spent.

Momo said, "I'll go call Zhang Sansi and tell him that the young lady wants to check the accounts of the past few years and ask him to come over every day."

The people in the mansion should be happy that the young lady is checking the accounts of the grocery store. After all, Manager Li has been brought to justice, and he has taken on all the responsibilities. Even if something is found out, it will be Manager Li's fault.

When Zhang Sansi came in, he thought that the young master really wanted to check the accounts and did not trust his character.

But after hearing what the young master said, Zhang Sansi wanted to slap himself twice and said, "Thank you, Miss, for your trust."

Fortunately, I was afraid that the lady didn't believe in myself, but it turns out that I believe in myself so much.

Zhang Sansi sat down to look at the account book. His father had always praised him since he was a child that he would be able to use an abacus when he grew up.

Now looking at the account books is no problem at all. Zhang Sansi looked at them carefully and found that these account books were very neatly done, with each item of income and expenditure recorded in detail.

This is the account book for two consecutive years. Zhang Sansi sees that the sun is about to set.

Momo brought some oranges over and said, "Manager Zhang, please have some fruit."

Zhang Sansi hurriedly said thank you, and then saw Yunshu was still checking.

Yun Shu picked up an orange and handed it to Zhang Sansi and said, "Have you found any clues?"

After thinking it over for a while, Zhang Sansi said, "Excuse me, Miss, is there anything special about the Marquis' Mansion this summer?" He saw that the record of buying ice cubes was half more than last year. According to his feeling, this year is not as hot as last year.

Yun Shu asked, "The accounts for purchasing ice cubes don't match."

Zhang Sansi said, "Yes, if the account for purchasing ice cubes increases significantly, other expenses will also increase accordingly. There is no change in the staff of the Marquis' Mansion, and no more servants and maids were bought. No more other items were purchased. Looking at the account books, no parties were held during that period."

Yun Shu felt that she had found the right person to come to Zhang Sansi: "Look at the other account books."

Li Yuling always has a little protrusion here and a little protrusion there. The account book in her hand is from the Spring Festival period last year. The purchase accounts of fruits and vegetables have increased significantly, but the number of visiting relatives and friends has decreased accordingly.

She either embezzled the money for purchases, or misappropriated the gifts from visitors, or did both.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and as dusk was about to fall, Yun Shu said, "Mr. Zhang, please go back first. Come back tomorrow and tell others that I'm here to ask you to check the grocery store accounts. Do you understand?"

Zhang Sansi knew the twists and turns here, so he nodded and said, "I understand."

Yun Shu instructed Mo Mo, "It's not safe outside now. Mo Mo, send Mr. Zhang off and take him to dinner."

Zhang Sansi was not allowed to eat dinner at the Marquis' Mansion because the food prepared in recent days was really terrible.

I spent so much money, but what I bought were probably other people's private belongings.

Let’s see in a few days, the Marquis’ Mansion will be laughed at again.

Yun Shu looked at the food sent from the kitchen. This seemed to be targeted at her on purpose. The food was watery and without any oil. Most importantly, it looked like leftovers from lunch.

Then go somewhere else and see if everyone has the same standards.

Yun Shu came to the second room, and Li Yuling was calling Xie Qingyun to have dinner: "Qingyun, try this bird's nest. It is the best for women to eat it to beautify their skin."

This is also Li Yuling's secret to staying young, all of which is maintained with silver.

Seeing the servants announcing Yunshu's arrival, he had no time to hide the bowl of silver bird's nest. He could only smile awkwardly and asked, "Why is Yunshu here?"

Aren’t we supposed to eat in the courtyard at this time? Besides, Xie Yunshu hasn’t been here for a long time. Did the sun really rise from the west today?

Yun Shu looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and realized that it was really aimed at her.

Everyone else is eating so well, but I am the only one left with leftovers.

"Second Aunt, why is your dinner so sumptuous, but only my courtyard has two leftovers?"

It turned out that these people were Li Yuling's lackeys, using their own money to curry favor with Li Yuling.

Xie Qingyun originally wanted to say that you deserve it, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud.

Li Yuling smiled awkwardly: "How is that possible? Maybe the kitchen is wrong. Since Yunshu is here, just sit down and eat."

Yun Shu also sat down without hesitation, picked up the bowl of silver bird's nest and drank it in one gulp, saying: "What kind of porridge is this? It tastes a bit weird."

Li Yuling looked at the empty bowl of bird's nest with heartache. Xie Yunshu ate her bird's nest and said it was not tasty. He was destined to eat leftovers all his life.

There are eight main dishes including braised pork elbow, soy sauce pork trotter, sweet and sour fish, etc. Can this mother and daughter finish them?
