Chapter 1080 (1/2)

Mother Zheng calmed down and laughed as if nothing had happened. She asked respectfully, ”please don't blame me for asking more questions. A hundred taels of silver is quite a lot. I don't know why she wants so much money?”

If this is an ordinary master, I'm afraid it would be displeased to be asked by the mother in charge. But Xiao Fei has always ignored these things in the past, so she doesn't care. She explains, ”mother Zheng, I think there may be summer heat in southern Xinjiang this year, so she plans to offer herbal tea outside the north gate in some days.”

Mother Zheng felt a little relieved, but at the same time, there was a flash of amazement in her eyes. She has been in charge of the elder sister for five or six years. She thinks of Shi Liangcha, which is the first time for her to get on the sedan chair.

Her shrewd Danfeng narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: ”you are so kind. I will take money for you. I just don't know how many days of herbal tea the girl is going to give? Are you going to transfer people from yuebiju to give tea, or do you want to borrow some people from the palace? ”

Mother Zheng asked several questions in succession. Xiao Fei was stunned. She didn't think so carefully. She just had an idea.

Looking at Xiao Fei's expression, mother Zheng had a few ideas, and her heart was fixed a lot. She said politely, ”big girl, how about writing a regulation for a girl like a maid?”

Xiao Fei nodded: ”that will trouble Mother Zheng.”

After mother Zheng Fu's death, she retired. On that day, she not only brought the one hundred Liang silver, but also presented the constitution of Shi Liangcha to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei looked at the list, and her eyebrows moved thoughtfully. She remembered what nangongyue had said to her when she was in the capital of the king: ”elder sister, the servants can only be helpers. They can never take the place of the housewife to take care of the midget As the ancients said, they should live in their positions, secure their duties, and try their best to be honest and not exceed their degrees. It would be against the sage's instruction if we had to shift our duties to others... ”

”Elder girl, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first.”

Mother Zheng was about to step down, but Xiao Fei stopped: ”mother Zheng, I want to see the account books of yuebiju in recent years, as well as the roster of people.”

This sentence made mother Zheng's feet almost soften, and her heart turned a hundred times. This account book could not be taken out in any case. If it was a girl

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she was. Xiao Fei looked at her suspiciously: ”mother Zheng, but what's the problem?”

Mother Cheng was busy and said, ”there is nothing wrong with her. But at the beginning of the year, the little storehouse where the account books were kept leaked rain. Many of the books were either wet or soaked, and some were affected by the tide and had mildew. The maidservant did not dare to take it and pollute the girl's eyes. ”

Xiao Fei's Willow eyebrows frown slightly, even if she does not care about these trivia, also feel some something is wrong. It's a coincidence.

Xiao Fei's cold eyes were sharp to look at mother Zheng and said slowly, ”mother Zheng, in this case, please bring me this year's account books.”

Mother Zheng's heart beat fast two beats, she knew that if she pushed again, the big girl would really be suspicious.

Mother Zheng took a deep breath and said to herself in her heart, where does the big girl know how to read accounts? It's just a whim. Even if you give it to her, she can see what way Their books can not be said to be seamless, it is also quite meticulous.

But even so, mother Zheng was still in a state of uneasiness, but she could only live happily and take orders: ”yes, big girl. I will go back and get the account book

That night, yuebiju's several account books and the roster of the servants in the hospital since this year were put on Xiao Fei's book case. Xiao Fei picked up the roster and flipped through it first.

On weekdays, yuebiju's maids and Xiao Fei's main contacts were mammy Yi, mother Zheng, two first-class maids of Taoyao and Baizhou, and four second-class maids.

Xiao Fei had only vaguely known that there were still a few maids and maidens in her yard. After reading the register today, she was sure that they were four third-class maids, eight coarse maids and four rude maidens.

Xiao Fei thought of what, suddenly turned to ask: ”tao yao, two younger sister, four younger sister, their courtyard is also like this?”

Taoyao, who was serving on the other side, explained: ”the eldest girl, according to the rules of the palace, all the girls' courtyards are equipped with these hands. The second girl can only match one first-class servant girl, two second-class servant girls, two third-class maids, and four coarse-grained servant girls and two rude maidens in addition to the nurse and the steward mother-in-law.”

”So my third sister and my second sister have different monthly routines?” Xiao Fei speculated thoughtfully. She and three younger sister is a legitimate daughter, since the courtyard of servants are different, that month's cases are very different.

Tao yao nodded. She always drew inferences from one instance when she was studying. In the past, she was not interested in it. Now when she starts to think about it, she will be able to understand it.

Xiao Fei put down the register, and picked up one of the books, this just opened a page, is a frown slightly.

Bai Zhou asked cautiously, ”big girl, but what's wrong with the accounts?”

Xiao Fei shook her head, a cold light flashed in her cold eyes, and Bai Zhou blinked suspiciously.Xiao Fei turned a few more pages, but this time she was so quick that the two maids didn't see the contents of the account books. She was more confused and could not help looking at each other. Girl, what's going on?

Xiao Fei put down the one in hand, and picked up another one. She also flipped it quickly, ”wipe it”, and the paper fluttered quickly, making a subtle sound Xiao Fei turned over two or three books so that she didn't look at it any more.

She sat in the armchair behind the book case, her eyes were slightly in a trance, and she did not speak for a long time.

When mother Zheng told Xiao Fei that the account book of yuebi's residence year had been destroyed, Xiao Fei already felt something was wrong, but there was no basis for it. She had never done anything wrong. Xiao Fei also hoped that she had been too thoughtful.

But --
