Guo Ying was very polite on her face, smiled very sweetly, and opened a thick account book gently.
"On February 10, 2878, I borrowed a pair of emerald hairpins, a pair of red jade bracelets, and eighty taels of silver as my dowry."
"On June 11th, I borrowed the dowry silver phoenix hairpin with gold-plated emerald flowers and grass patterns, and paid thirty taels of silver."
"On December 21st, I borrowed a tortoise jewelry box, a fragrant sandalwood suitcase, ten pieces of gold satin, and a hundred and ten taels of silver."
"..."
When Guo Ying started reading, Zhang Qing was still a little confused and her mind was in chaos.
Because it was read by his newly acquired beauty, he even nodded slightly and looked at her for the beauty, but as he listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Qing is a decent scholar and believes that money smells like copper.
Regardless of the money, most of it was used by him to support his literati, and a small part was used to pay for his parents, but he didn't remember much at all.
The wife at home can take care of things like accounts. As long as he wants to use the money, he can use it, so why should he care about where the money comes from?
He was quite impatient whenever Yue Ling wanted to talk to him about the Zhang family's financial situation.
He still needs to study. His most important task is to acquire literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Everything else has nothing to do with him.
So much so that Guo Ying read out most of the account. From more than ten years ago to a few years ago, the amount of money pawned was almost three thousand taels. Zhang Qingcai stood up in shock, his face was red and white, and he cursed for a long time: "This It’s all such a mess!”
He waved his hand, stared at Yue Ling, and said angrily: "You - what are you making a fuss about? Does it look good?"
Zhang Qing glanced at the guests around him.
Several guests looked around curiously, and his heart suddenly became blocked.
Fortunately, the two most important guests, Sun Yuzhi and Zhou Pingbo, kept their eyes and noses in mind and held the wine glasses motionless.
Look at people, this is called self-cultivation.
Zhang Qing felt calmer and tried to suppress his anger.
He is not stupid and can tell that something is wrong with his wife.
At this time, he didn't notice that Guo Ying was wrong, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Guo was beautiful, but her brain was not working well. It seemed that she should not let her have children in the future.
Zhang Qing wanted to have more children and be happy, but the children he gave birth to were too stupid and were also a burden.
At this moment, Guo Ying acted as if she hadn't heard what Zhang Qing said. Not only did she read through the account book with some key points, she also took out the old accounts from the warehouse.
There were too many old accounts. Fortunately, Yue Ling was careful and organized the important accounts separately. She effortlessly picked out the distinctive ones and read them carefully.
For example, when the Zhang family's old house was replaced, Zhang Qing was greedy for cheap and bought some solitary property. He was deceived and lost all his money, so he had to sell the house.
Also, because he wanted to fight an injustice, he actually ran into an immortal and was kidnapped. They threatened to strip him naked and hang him in front of the Confucian Temple if the family didn't get money to redeem him.
Zhang Qing cried so much that he wrote a letter asking his family to raise money to redeem him.
As a last resort, a batch of land was sold.
It's okay if you don't look at the account books, but when you look at the account books, you can see that Zhang Qing is the most prodigal son in the world. If his grandfather knew about it, he would probably want to strangle his father to death and completely eliminate the possibility of his birth.
….
In his grandfather's generation, the Zhang family was still quite prosperous. I can't say how big the business was, but they basically lived a good life without worrying about spending money.
Guo Ying is an opera singer and has a good voice. She doesn't seem to be putting in much effort, but her voice reaches everyone's ears clearly.
Through the door wall, the servants outside could hear it very clearly.
Several cleaning maids stood at the door, winking at each other and making decisions.
But he couldn't be left in the Zhang family, nor could he follow the future young lady.
We haven't gotten married yet, who knows if Zhang Xiuxiu will be Sun's wife in the future.
It's not easy for them to tell you. Even the young master doesn't know whether he wants Zhang Xiuxiu or Zhang Rongrong.
Guo Ying finally stopped
Come, Zhang Qing is so angry that his nose is squirting and his face is very ugly.
Mu Qingyun smiled: "Are there any errors or omissions in this account book and my mother's dowry list?"
Zhang Qing frowned and said, "How can I remember this? Let's just say it is. Well, it's all trivial matters, so why bother talking about it!"
He acted so generously and showed no shame at all.
It can only be said that Zhang Qing's reaction speed is really not slow. At this time, being exposed like this in the study room, he probably wouldn't recognize it at all.
He never wanted to hide these things, so it would be easy to investigate.
The more you don't care at this time, the harder it will be for everyone to take it to heart.
When he was young, he just loved to play around. He and his wife were one, so what could he do with his wife's dowry?
Zhang Qing was unhappy and secretly thought that Yue Ling was indeed becoming more and more ignorant.
Mu Qingyun coughed slightly and was about to continue when he saw Yue Ling coming out of the crowd and said softly: "Zhang Qing, you and I have been married for more than 20 years, and although we have promised to have a life-long promise, now our appearance does not match the spirit and we are separated. According to the "Ming Marriage Law", go to the county office to register for divorce today."
Zhang Qing:? ?
Yue Ling's voice was low at first, but when she finished speaking, her back straightened, and her voice gained a bit of the luster of her youth: "Don't worry, I won't bother you too much, just let me take away my dowry according to the rules."
"My dowry has been lent to your Zhang family over the years. There are still 493 taels of silver in the warehouse. The remaining miscellaneous silks, fabrics and medicinal materials can be worth 780 taels. Please pay it to me first and collect it together. The whole number is six hundred taels."
Zhang Qing was so angry that he was trembling all over and couldn't speak clearly: "You, what do you mean?"
"Divorce, is it new?"
Yue Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Zhang Qing's mind buzzed.
Yue Ling added: "Qingqing will naturally follow me, so you don't have to worry about this."
Zhang Qing didn't dare to look at the eyes of the people behind him for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say when the Zhang family borrowed the dowry!
But Yue Ling has always been careful, and the dowry list back then was also prepared by the Yamen.
When he was young, he was very shameless. When he first used his wife's dowry, he thought twice about it and said it was a loan and he would definitely pay it back in the future.
There is no IOU, but Yue Ling is the mistress of the house and has all the seals. How can he use this as an excuse to mess around?
Do you want to lose your reputation? Have you read the book yet? Are you still selecting officials?
With all the guests present, Zhang Qing was so angry that his head was pounding. He held his anger and did not dare to say anything bad. He only squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Think carefully, Zhang Qingqing is not married yet. "
Mu Qingyun smiled and said: "That's why I have to end my relationship with you quickly and change my surname quickly."
Zhang Qing was furious: "Do you still understand filial piety? I think you were taught bad things by your mother."
Mu Qingyun suddenly calmed down his expression, and suddenly exerted force on his feet, causing cracks on the blue stone surface.
Zhang Qing was stunned.
Mu Qingyun laughed again: "Yes, my mother has really instilled so much kindness in me. If I am as cruel as the master, why should I divorce my mother? Isn't it good to be a widow?"
Zhang Qing: "..."
The Snow Emperor
