Chapter 18 Wutong Residence
A few days later.
Su Yuejian moved into Wutongju.
This courtyard was specially taken care of by Madam Su, and it was fully equipped with all necessary items. Su Yanzhou also bought a lot of new things.
The yard is simple and elegant, with a clear pond embedded in the middle of the courtyard. Fish are swimming in the lake, and the crabapple flowers beside the pond are in full bloom. The breeze blows off the petals, and ripples appear on the blue lake surface.
The most eye-catching thing is the century-old sycamore tree, which is more than ten feet tall, standing tall and majestic like a canopy. From a distance, it looks like a green mountain in a painting.
There is a set of white marble stone tables and benches under the tree.
At this moment, Su Yuejian was sitting under a tree.
These days she started to take charge of the household, and followed Qinglan every day to learn how to manage various affairs in the mansion.
Qinglan and Yinxin read the account book to her.
In fact, she had already looked at these account books, and the expenses were clearly recorded without any leaks.
But it was just too perfect, which made her feel like something was amiss.
The day before yesterday, he asked Xuanshuang to secretly search the accounting office, and he found the real account book that had been hidden away.
She reviewed them one by one in private.
This sight almost made her laugh out loud.
Who would have thought that the family’s savings had been almost drained by the Qiao family over the years.
The amount of silver available on the account of the Grand Tutor's Mansion is less than five hundred taels!
Su Yuejian frowned and closed her eyes in deep thought.
She embezzled so much money, but she and Su Xuewei did not buy any land or shops. Where did the money go?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps.
Su Yuejian raised her eyes and saw through the veil that the accountant Sun Changxing was walking towards her with a thick stack of account books.
Sun Changxing bowed and saluted.
"Hello, Miss. Here are the account books for the past ten years that you requested."
Su Yuejian's face darkened slightly and he remained silent.
The real account book was found in his room. It seems that Sun Changxing was in cahoots with the Qiao family.
Sun Changxing bent his waist, his hands holding the account book felt a little sore, and he looked up and took a quick look.
Su Yuejian was seen wearing a green dress with a light veil covering her face. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, she exuded a pure and elegant aura.
She's just a foster daughter, and she's blind, how can she manage a household? And why should she look at the account books? What do she have to look at? Ha!
Sun Changxing felt sarcastic in his heart.
"Thank you, Accountant Sun."
Yinxin stepped forward, took the account book and placed it on the stone table.
"Everything is going on in the mansion. If you have any questions, please ask the aunt next to you first. This old servant..."
"No hurry, I have something to ask you."
Sun Changxing was impatient and looked disdainful.
This young lady is usually so timid that she doesn't even say a word. Why is she trying to show off today?
Su Yuejian spoke in a flat tone.
"How long has Accountant Sun been here?"
"More than 20 years."
Sun Changxing nodded and replied.
Su Yuejian chuckled.
"That's the old man in the mansion. Qinglan has read all these accounts to me."
Su Yuejian paused.
"You did a good job."
Sun Changxing nodded guiltily and said yes with a smile.
Although she showed no emotion when she said this, Sun Changxing always felt that she seemed to have discovered something, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
"I called you here today for two things."
"Grandmother's eightieth birthday is at the end of next month. I've already asked my father for permission. We want to celebrate her birthday in a grand manner this year to bring her joy. She enjoys a lively atmosphere, so we're inviting all the dignitaries of Kyoto to our house for a banquet."
Sun Changxing was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something.
Su Yuejian ignored him and continued:
"Since we're hosting a banquet, there are several areas of the mansion that need renovation and cleaning. We'd rather not make a fool of ourselves, especially the Qiushui Pavilion, which hasn't been repaired since the fire. Set aside five hundred taels from your account and send someone to begin the repairs."
Sun Changxing was suddenly panicked. Not to mention that holding a birthday banquet would require a huge amount of money, there was no way he could come up with 500 taels on the books!
Sun Changxing's legs felt weak, and he tried to steady his trembling voice:
"Miss, the old lady and the master have always been frugal. I'm afraid such a grand ceremony is..."
Of course she knew that there was no money in the mansion, and she was afraid that the accountant had also eaten a lot.
But anything that was taken from her Su family must be returned to her!
Su Yuejian sneered and said seriously,
"Accountant Sun, it's precisely because our family has always been frugal that we have sufficient funds in our accounts. It's just a birthday banquet, what's the problem?"
Sun Changxing was frightened into silence by her pressure, and no longer had the arrogance he had when he entered the room.
Isn’t he blind? Why does he always feel like someone is staring at him fiercely?
Su Yuejian didn't give him any room to answer.
"Go down and start preparing tomorrow."
Sun Changxing nodded in agreement and walked out of Wutongju and quickly headed towards Yuntingyuan.
Su Yuejian has started to take charge of the household these days, and Qinglan has been watching the whole process, feeling very appreciative.
She was worried that the eldest daughter had an eye disease and a soft personality, and would not be able to control the people in the mansion.
But she found that Su Yuejian learned things very quickly. She could grasp many things thoroughly and apply them to other situations after being told only once.
Now they couldn't help but look her in the eye. She spoke and acted in a measured way, and she rewarded and punished her subordinates clearly. Now the servants were all convinced of her.
Looking at her noble temperament, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor.
If she had not been disfigured and blinded, she would be extremely beautiful now. I can't help but feel sorry for her.
Although Wutongju is a bit far from Rong'an Hall, Su Yuejian still comes to have meals with her grandmother every day.
During lunch, Qinglan kept praising the eldest lady to the old lady for her good handling of household affairs and her diligence and eagerness to learn.
The old lady nodded repeatedly.
Su Yuejian also pulled the old lady and acted coquettishly, saying that she would definitely hold a lively and unforgettable birthday party for her this year.
Old Madam Su was smiling so much that she ate half an extra bowl of rice at noon.
After watching the old lady take the medicine and take a nap, Su Yuejian returned to Wutongju.
