The more Ji Laosi thought about it, the more suitable it became!
Ji Ying is only fifteen this year. She is young and beautiful. He is the best match for Qi Ye, an old man in his thirties. Moreover, Ji Ying's brother Ji Baoxiong will still be a fierce general under Qi Ye in the future. Son!
If it comes to pass, those treasures in Qiye Mansion! The title of Champion Marquis and the title of Wu Dingbo Mansion may all belong to his descendants!
Ji Laosi excitedly held Ji Ying's hand and said, "Ying'er! You have to give dad credit!"
Ji Ying was confused, her tears had not yet been wiped dry, "Dad, what are you talking about..."
As soon as Ji Laosi said the matter, Ji Ying stood up and said, "I don't! I don't want it! I don't want to marry some champion! I want Xiao Chan. Qi Ye will be thirty next year. Being my father is enough for me. I don’t want to marry an old and ugly man, and I don’t want to suffer at the border—”
"You idiot! That Qi Yeyou is so good! You said that just because you haven't seen him! Moreover, the emperor appointed him as the commander of the Chinese army, and he will most likely never leave the capital in the future. Also, do you know how many treasures he has? Huh? Haven’t you seen that your eldest sister is wearing gold and silver these days? Those are all given by Qi Ye!"
"So what! If dad wants those treasures, why not go with uncle! Anyway, uncle will give you everything!"
"It's difficult! Ji Shu's wings are hard now. That thing was given to her by Qi Ye. Even if your uncle and aunt ask for it, she may not be willing to give it to you!"
Ji Laosi sighed, "You don't know how much good stuff that is. I just gave it to you today. It's a large coral bonsai, half a person tall. Do you know how much silver it costs?"
Ji Laosi reported the number, Ji Ying's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she couldn't help but feel excited, but her obsession with Xiao Chan for so many years could barely suppress her greed.
Ji Ying rolled her eyes, "Dad, don't you just let her take out the treasure by herself! I have an idea!"
"Seriously! If you can really get her to take it out, dad will share half of it for you to marry!"
A few days later, Ji's mother, who was staying at home, suddenly came to Ji Shu's Luming Pavilion.
"Headmaster?"
Ji Shu couldn't help but smile, looking at the cards and account books that Ji's mother pushed to her eyes, and said meaningfully:
"My parents and patriarch wanted to lock me up before. Why did you suddenly change your mind now and want me to be in charge of the family? Are you afraid that I will block the way for the sisters in the house and let outsiders see Ji Mansion's jokes?"
Ji's mother looked a little haggard. She said with drooped eyes: "Shu'er, what happened before is in the past, let it be in the past. You begged the emperor to reconcile, and my mother can't say anything to you. It's just that the head of the family It was your fourth uncle who specifically asked the clan elders for your father to ask me to give it to you. He was also worried that you would not feel safe in this house. The clan elders and your fourth uncle were all thinking about the Ji family before, and you also Don’t hold a grudge against them.”
Ji Shu said slowly: "If you don't ask me to bear grudge against you, or against Wu Dingbo's house, then I really don't know who should be blamed for the hardships I have suffered over the years."
Ji's mother's eyes were sore and she said in a hoarse voice: "Shu'er, mother feels sorry for you, but you have too many ideas. Today's world is too difficult, and you are too mean to women. It's not a good thing for you to have too many ideas. Mother doesn't want you to Life is too tiring, sometimes I just pretend to be confused and let nature take its course..."
Ji Shu didn't say anything. She nodded at the cards on the table and asked the last question:
"My parents really want me to take charge of the family? Have you thought clearly?"
"Your grandmother taught you your skill, I know it. Take it, take good care of the house, get close to the people in the house, and you will be better off in the future."
Ji's mother left after not staying for long. Xitao closed the door and gritted her teeth and said: "How could those stubborn old men and the fourth master in the clan be so kind! They say they are housekeepers, but they are not necessarily here for the young lady! The young lady should not Collect it!"
"You were given the opportunity for me to take advantage of, so why not?"
Ji Shuzhengchou couldn't find a chance to attack that group of people. Now that she was sent to her door, she would let them see what she was capable of.
The next day, Ji Laosi sent someone to inquire. The servant came back from the accounting room, nodded and said, "The eldest lady sent someone to collect the public accounts this morning."
"Okay! I really accepted it! I knew it."
Ji Laosi was gearing up, seeing one golden mountain after another before his eyes!
The news about Ji Shu taking charge of the family quickly spread in the Ji family. She had only managed the accounts with the old lady before, and had never really held the right cards. The people in the family didn't know whether she was under Yan Shisong or not.
However, a lot of gossip spread out at that time, saying that Ji Shu was not in line with the rules of being a divorcee.
Those who said these words included Ji Shu's sisters, cousins, and many servants, but she turned a deaf ear to these words.
A few days before getting the right cards, everything was calm in Luming Pavilion. The servants and the masters of each courtyard were relieved after watching.
Little did he know that there was no movement from Ji Shu because she was checking the accounts with her capable people overnight, starting from this year's account books and going through the previous years.
Just when the family thought that the newly appointed eldest lady would not cause any trouble, Ji Shu took action.
The first fire was burned on Ji Laosi's head.
On this day, Ji Laosi was lying in the yard enjoying the cool air, imagining in his head how to snatch thousands of treasures from Ji Shu's hands, smiling from ear to ear.
While I was dreaming, the servant ran into the yard in a panic: "Master! Something happened to me, master!"
"Bastard! I'm going to burn your ass!"
"Master, please go to Baoxia in front of me and take a look! The eldest lady has tied up four or five people from the accounting office and is about to send them to the official!"
"ah?!"
Ji Laosi sat up abruptly, and the rocking chair beneath him lost its balance, causing him to fall to the ground. He grimaced at the severe pain coming from his buttocks.
He stood up while covering his butt, "Quick! Help me over quickly! Ji Shu is going to heaven!!"
Ji Laosi rushed to Baoxia. In the yard, the five accountants and servants were tied into rice dumplings and were kneeling in the sun and crying.
The Baoxia was full of people inside and outside the mansion, all of them had their heads lowered and wanted to bury their faces in the cracks in the ground. Some of them were shaking with guilt and sweating profusely at the sight of them.
Ji Shu was sitting at the top, holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly. Next to her, Xitao was holding an account book, reading one by one.
Ji Laosi rushed into Baoxia without saying anything.
"Ji Shu! What are you doing!"
"Fourth uncle came just in time. I was just about to ask someone to find you."
Ji Shu picked up some thick books at hand and threw them in front of Ji Laosi. Ji Laosi looked down, his cheeks twitching and his teeth clenched.
Ji Shu chuckled and said, "Pick it up and take a look at it yourself. We are all one family, so I won't let you read it out, so as not to hurt your feelings."
"Fourth Uncle, let me tell you directly in front of everyone. Where did the tens of thousands of taels of silver that disappeared from the accounts you personally appointed to work in these accounts go?"
"Stop spitting on others!"
How could Ji Laosi know how to read accounts? Even if he was confronted with it, he wouldn't be able to tell. But the people he found were all good at making false accounts. For so many years, even the old lady couldn't tell that he was greedy for money. Ji Shu It’s weird that the girl can see it in the movie! He must have been deceived!
"Okay, Ji Shu, I want to make your stay in the house easier. I begged the uncle in the family to let you take charge of the house. Who knows that you will repay the favor! Find the uncles for me! Get the elder brother! I want to talk to you well today. Said!"
