"Butler Li, bring the account book of the inner courtyard, I want to check it."

"Madam, checking the account book requires the permission of the master and the eldest young master, and the young dare not make the decision."

"Since I said I want to look it up, of course, I have already obtained the permission of my father and husband. You just need to do things as instructed, and you don't need to ask more." Qi Surong looked at him with a cold expression.

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

But for a moment, Butler Li brought the account book over.

Qi Surong said: "You go down, I will return it to you after reading it."

"Madam, don't you need to explain it to you?"

Qi Surong looked at him coldly, and Ping'er immediately said: "Didn't you hear what the lady said? Please leave the housekeeper Li first, and the lady will call you after reading it."

Butler Li retreated hesitantly.

Qi Surong took a deep breath and slowly opened the account book.

In the evening, when Gu Jinyun came back, Qi Surong didn't greet him as usual, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

Entering the house, she found her embroidering by candlelight.

"It's night, embroidery can easily hurt your eyes." Gu Jinyun said.

Qi Surong ignored her and continued to embroider.

Gu Jinyun walked up to her and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"I'll tell you when I'm done embroidering, and that's all that's left." Qi Surong said.

Gu Jinyun then sat aside, drinking tea while waiting. Su Rong seldom treats him coldly, and his appearance now makes him a little uncomfortable.

"Okay." Qi Surong cut off the thread and handed the embroidered thing to Gu Jinyun, "A handkerchief specially embroidered for you."

Gu Jinyun's eyes lit up, he took the embroidered handkerchief over and unfolded it to see that there was a naive little pig embroidered on it.

He looked innocently at his wife, why did he embroider a pig for him?

"You're a fat pig who broke your promise." Qi Surong poked his chest with his fingers.

"When did I break my promise?" Gu Jinyun felt wronged.

"You said that I am the hostess of the Gu family and promised to let me be the housekeeper."

Gu Jinyun nodded.

"But these days, you haven't mentioned it to the servants and asked them to question my behavior." Qi Surong raised her eyebrows and said, "A questioned hostess, how to keep the house?"

Gu Jinyun touched his nose: "It's true that I didn't think carefully about my husband, and I ask my wife to forgive me."

"It's too late." Qi Surong stood up, raised her chin and said, "The lady is very angry, and asked her husband to lay the floor today."

Gu Jinyun stretched out his arms and hugged her: "Can I ask the lady to be lenient and spare my husband this time?"

"No, no punishment for small mistakes, big mistakes later. You have to lay the floor today."

Qi Surong pushed him away, took the table and bedding from the closet, helped him lay it out in a long-winded manner, then turned around on the bed, and draped the gauze curtain down.

Gu Jinyun looked at the hard floor and at the soft bed, feeling a chill in his heart.

However, he is not so easy to pass. After Su Rong fell asleep, he sneaked back to the bed again. When he woke up in the morning, without waiting for Su Rong to get angry, Gu Jinyun preempted her and wiped her up.

☆、Chapter 70

After Gu Jinyun received Qi Surong's piggy handkerchief, he deeply realized his negligence. Two days later, he summoned all the servants of the Gu family to formally meet Qi Surong and take over the internal affairs of the Gu family. The rest must not have any doubts.

After Qi Surong handed over the designed clothing artwork to Yunrong Xiuzhuang, he concentrated on checking the account books of the Gu family. The monthly expenses of the Gu family are surprisingly low. In addition to the usual food and clothing expenses, the most expensive is the favors that are sent to us. In addition, the gifts that Gu Jinyun gave to Qi Surong before actually accounted for one-fifth of the project.

Qi Surong rubbed her eyebrows in a funny way. The Gu family has accumulated a lot of money over the years, even more than she expected, but the Gu family doesn't seem to know how to spend it. Frugality is a virtue, but knowing how to spend money is also an advantage. For example, the wages of the servants of the Gu family are only increased once every three years. Except after festivals, there is usually no reward. Although they never scold others, they may not be able to accept their hearts.

Gu Jinyun was quite talented in business, but because of his cold temper, he didn't care about the affairs of the inner court. Gu Chang and Gu Yufeng were both pure warriors, and they were even less interested in these things.

However, Gu Jinyun hired a good housekeeper to arrange the affairs of the Gu family in an orderly manner, but... Qi Surong looked at this account book, her eyes flickered, and it was inevitable that her hands and feet were not clean. For the time being, Qi Surong intends to hold him accountable. This person is quite measured, and he is not greedy for too much money, which is still within the range that Qi Surong can tolerate.

In addition, the person responsible for purchasing the household has more or less problems. Qi Surong guessed that Gu Jinyun should be well aware of this, since he didn't say anything, it represented a kind of acquiescence.

However, Qi Surong did not agree with this acquiescence. Isn't this condoning human greed?

In the evening, Qi Surong mentioned this to Gu Jinyun and asked him what he meant.

Gu Jinyun replied: "I know, the reason why I don't care is just too lazy to bother."

"Too lazy to bother?" Qi Surong said incredulously, "What if they are more greedy?"

"Then send it to an official for investigation." Gu Jinyun replied calmly.

Qi Surong was stunned for a moment, then realized that Gu Jinyun was using this to test the character of these people. In this way, he is really lazy... Supervising and regulating the behavior of people takes a lot of energy and time. Gu Jinyun just kept an account in his heart. If anyone is not disciplined, he will directly expel them.

Qi Surong was speechless, this was too simple and rude, and it was completely laissez-faire management.

Qi Surong said: "Okay, I will take care of it completely from now on, do you have any opinion?"

"Of course, deal with it accordingly." Gu Jinyun hugged her and whispered, "My husband is also..."

The next day, Ping'er handed the list of servants in the inner room to Qi Surong, Qi Surong read it, and said to Ping'er: "You go and notify Steward Li, assign these two maids to Shuangshuang, and add another one to my room. Maid, everything else remains the same for the time being."
