The steward knelt on the ground, as if he felt that a long, long time had passed, and the sweat on his face fell to the ground drop by drop, but he did not dare to move at all.

At this point, his mind was a little foggy, but he still tried to keep his ears, hoping to hear the voice he wanted to hear.

After a long while, Zhou Ziya withdrew her sharp eyes, in fact, this matter is big and big, and small is small. If it's big, there are people in the house who eat inside and outside, and naturally they won't let it go lightly. If you don't send it to the official, if you don't kill it, you will be sold. To put it mildly, this amount of money is really not much for the house, so it is a little difficult for her to deal with it.

Today's big anger is also because she has been too busy recently, and she is already in a bad mood, and reading countless account books every day has made her feel bad. It's just like God's arrangement, she doesn't clean up, and she's sorry for herself.

She took a sip of the tea next to her before putting it on the table, the sound of the teacup colliding with the table was like the bell of death.

"Steward Wang, this time the princess will give you a chance for the sake of Steward Wang, and will not send you to the official. But how much you are greedy and how many false accounts you have recorded, I will give you three days, and you will give me all back. and the position of steward was removed and demoted to a small servant. Zhou Ziya's moist little mouth opened and closed, and she judged a person's future in this way, and made a conclusion on this matter.

This is also a lot of ways for her to deal with it in her heart, she thinks that this treatment is neither light nor heavy, if the king is not satisfied, but hates herself, she will not care, just let go of a white-eyed wolf. If, because of this, he is sensible and admits his mistakes, knows how to introspect, and has a smarter brain in the future, Steward Wang will help him, and it will not give him a chance again.

"Bastard, don't kowtow to the princess and thank the princess for her great kindness. You are not angry, but you have to remember the great kindness of the princess today, and be a new person from now on, be honest, and don't play any more cautious eyes. repay the princess and the palace well. If I ever let me know that you have done something bad, I will break your leg myself. ”

Steward Wang breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt that this punishment was very light, and hurriedly scolded while thanking Zhou Ziya. He knew that this was the princess's grace.

At the same time, he was also angry that his nephew was small-minded and couldn't do things, but he was greedy and did stupid things. The reason why Steward Wang is valued by Situ Chen is that he is really smart, not just because he has been with Situ Chen for a long time. If you want to say that it is a long time, there are many people in this house who are longer than him, why can't others be housekeepers, but he can, this is all his own ability and ability.

It's like the king's stewardship, a smart person will not keep false accounts, and he will not raise the price so much. Because doing so will only be equivalent to digging a hole for yourself, and burying yourself if you don't pay attention.

Smart people will keep the account when the price is the price on the market, but this thing can't be done in vain, where does this extra come from, naturally it is the rebate given by the seller. The reason is that, for example, the purchase of the palace has always been large, this has to cooperate, or for a long time, this merchant has to give a preferential price, and this merchant will also look at the face and cooperation of the palace, and there will be no less discounts at all. If you are greedy for a part of this discount, the palace will not find a problem in the general situation. This can be regarded as a way of survival in each house.

"Thank you, princess, princess is very kind, and the slave must not forget. The minions must be honest in the future. ”

After this time, Steward Wang was also frightened, where would he dare to be dishonest.

Zhou Ziya didn't care if he really knew the mistake or fake, and drove the person away. Steward Wang left with his nephew.

Lan Yue didn't understand why her own mother spared the other party so easily. She thinks that this king's steward is a white-eyed wolf, who works in the mansion, eats well, dresses well, has a good master, has a high salary, and usually has rewards and the like, I don't know how many times better than other mansions. But if you are not satisfied, you don't know how to be grateful, and you still do such a thing, you shouldn't be forgiven.

In the evening, Situ Chen raised the matter before dinner, and Zhou Ziya was a little strange, "Why did you know so quickly?" ”

"Steward Wang personally came to me to plead guilty, saying that he didn't take good care of his nephew." Situ Chen replied.

"Hmm. Yes, there is such a thing. Why does the prince think this is not easy to handle? ”

"This backyard matter has been said by the king, and everything will be handled by you. The king will not interfere. It's just that this king is afraid that you will be embarrassed by the face of the king's housekeeper, so this king wants to tell you that you can do whatever you want, and don't care about other people. Including this king. He had a serious face, especially when he finally talked about this king, Zhou Ziya could hear the sincerity of his words.

She thought she was disgusted that she couldn't handle it well, but it turned out to be like this, and she suddenly felt that she had a little villain's heart, and her face was a little red and ashamed!!

Situ Chen seemed to suddenly think of something unhappy, and frowned, "Before the Chinese New Year this year, the palace will hold a New Year's Festival, and you need to enter the palace together for the festival at that time." ”

"Into the palace?" Although she married into the palace, she was scolded by the old witch every time she went to see the queen mother, and she beat herself, so she never entered the palace again. It was also the man in front of her who said that he didn't have to go anymore, and she didn't want to meet the old witch.

"Hmm. Every year during the Chinese New Year in the Imperial Palace, there will be such a festival, and the ministers of the court and the central government will bring their families to participate. "Naturally, he, the prince and his princess, will definitely not miss it.

Zhou Ziya bit her lip, and her voice was a little small, "Then do you want to see the Queen Mother?" ”

Situ Chen looked at his daughter's frightened appearance, and sighed in his heart, his mother, he couldn't beat or scold, it was really difficult to deal with. "Well, when the time comes, when I go to the palace, I will go to ask for a peace and meet the queen mother. Don't worry, when the time comes, this king will be with you. ”

It means that when the time comes, the Queen Mother will see that she is there, and she will no longer embarrass you, so you can rest assured.

It's a pity that Zhou Ziya is not at ease at all, the last time she went, she also went together, but after a while, Situ Chen was called away by the emperor, leaving only herself to see the old witch and the women of the harem. I was insulted, scolded, beaten, and disgraced. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, where would she endure it, she would have fought back a long time ago.

"Lord, then when the time comes, if you want to leave, I will go with you."

Zhou Ziya was not at ease to get vaccinated in advance, and if you leave like last time, don't forget yourself.

The old king next door
