Mr. Bai was drinking tea, but Su Qingyu's words made him spit out a mouthful of tea onto the ground.

Regardless of etiquette, Mr. Bai put the tea cup on the nanmu square table and asked: "What did the eldest lady say? Cleared the Lin family's account? The account that was posted on the account more than ten years ago?"

Su Qingyu thought to herself, why is it that Mr. Bai is so old and his brain is still not working? Isn't what she said clear?

And this reaction, is it so intense?

"That's the account. You have 210,000 taels in your account now. See if there is anything you can sell. The antique calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, or the fields of the house, hurry up and get me 300,000 taels."

Since the father doesn't take their mother and daughter seriously, the debt that should be paid must also be paid. It's impossible for the mother to use the dowry money to support the family, and the maternal grandfather's family should also provide the father with money to support his wife.

It happened that she needed money to store food. Once she got the money, she could have a big fight with her cousin.

Mr. Bai swallowed hard to calm down the surprise and panic in his heart. He had been working as an accountant in the Hou Mansion for decades, and he had never encountered such a difficult thing.

Three hundred thousand taels, not thirty taels. Without the Marquis saying anything, would he dare to touch such a large sum of money? Isn’t the eldest lady too whimsical?

If the three hundred thousand taels are returned to the Lin family, the Hou Mansion will have to suffer from the northwest wind.

"Miss, I have to ask Mr. Marquis about such a big matter," Mr. Bai said.

Su Qingyu snorted, "When has he ever worried about money-related matters inside and outside the Hou Mansion? Now my mother has gone to Zhuangzi to have her baby, and all these matters have been handed over to me. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it. What are you afraid of?"

Mr. Bai looked at Su Qingyu helplessly, "Miss, this amount is too big, it's really not possible."

With three hundred thousand taels of silver out like this, the Marquis shouldn't kill him? Besides, if the Hou Mansion wants to pay back this money, will it still be on the account for more than ten years? It was made clear that he didn't want to give it to the Lin family at all.

Su Qingyu put down the teacup heavily and said in a cold voice: "If my father blames me after this, I will give you five hundred taels of silver and let you take your whole family to live in Jiangnan. If you don't want to help me, then I don't mind tomorrow." If you change the accountant, I'm not afraid of you complaining to your father. See if he believes you or me."

Mr. Bai was stunned for a while, and then his face became full of confusion.

The eldest lady was only in her teens, but her methods were even more ruthless than when his wife was in charge of the family. This made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

He had to make a choice between the two paths before him.

Su Qingyu didn't push him, and sat at the front seat quietly drinking tea without even looking at Mr. Bai.

After a long time, Mr. Bai moved the corners of his wrinkled lips and said, "The lady said, what should we sell? I'm afraid the house will be hard to sell for a while, but the antique calligraphy and paintings are quite valuable."

In the past few years, the amount of money in his account has never exceeded 300,000 taels. As long as there is a tendency to exceed it, the Marquis will buy antique calligraphy and paintings or unique ancient books. There were several times when the lady was obviously angry, but she did not say anything out of consideration for the Marquis's face.

Su Qingyu thought for a while and said: "Then sell antique calligraphy and paintings. Choose the ones that are valuable and easy to sell. I will give you two or three days to collect 300,000 taels for me."

Mr. Bai also pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, just listen to the lady. When the time comes, the documents that need to be signed and sealed will be signed by the lady."

Su Qingyu smiled and said: "That's natural, don't worry, I won't embarrass you sir."

Mr. Bai thought to himself, isn’t this called an embarrassment? Why does he feel that the world in this family has changed when the young lady is in charge?

After seeing Mr. Bai off and waiting for a while, the four managers of Su’s Grain Store arrived.

The Su family had four grain stores in the capital, located in the four districts of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.

These four grain stores were the dowry property of the Lin family to the Lin family, including the four shopkeepers, who were all from the Lin family. Even the grain was collected by the Lin family in Jiangnan and sent to these four grain stores.

It can be said that these four grain stores are like egg-laying hens given by the Lin family to the Su family. They only need to collect eggs and do not have to worry about anything else. All the profits belong to the Su family, and the Lin family will not touch a penny.

Because the Lin family was one of the largest grain merchants in Southern Zhili, these four shops had a very good reputation in the capital, with annual profits of more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Mr. Lin is the shopkeeper of the West City Grain Store and also the general manager of four shops. He is in his forties and has a goatee.

Su Qingyu was very polite to Lin Sheng and others, served some good tea, and exchanged some polite words before asking: "Shopkeeper Lin, how many meters are there in total in our warehouses and shops in the capital now? "

Lin Sheng said without thinking: "There are still 30,000 shi in the warehouse, and there will be another 20,000 shi before the end of the year." Obviously, these accounts are all familiar to him and do not require much thinking.

Su Qingyu frowned slightly, fifty thousand dan... it was too big a difference.

She asked about the current sales situation and the size of the warehouse, and then asked the shopkeepers to go back.

After sending away several shopkeepers, Su Qingyu stood up and said, "Zhenzhu, let someone prepare the car. I want to go find my second cousin."

Then he asked: "What did Songhetang say? Is there any news?"

Pearl replied: "The third young lady and the eldest young master did not go to Songhe Hall. Aunt Xue took the third young lady back to Furong Garden and said that she wanted the third young lady to rest first and talk about these things later. Although the Marquis was angry, he did not say anything. What."

Su Qingyu didn't think much about it, she just thought that Aunt Xue felt sorry for her daughter.

In the afternoon, in the flower hall behind Lin's Trading Company, Su Qingyu was listening to the chatter of her second cousin Lin Wenbai.

"Why don't you come to discuss such a big matter with us?"

"What do you think about marrying a dead man? Let alone Mr. Shen, he is the emperor. He is of no use after he dies."

Su Qingyu was so frightened that she quickly rolled her eyes at him, "What did my cousin say? Can you say this casually? Be careful that walls have ears."

Lin Wenbai also knew that what he just said was overstepping his bounds, but he didn't stop nagging.

"I've heard everything about Shen Zhao. If you don't want to marry him, my cousin has many ways. Why would you jump into the Shen family's trap?"

"If you ask me, Mr. Shen, you have backed out of that unlucky marriage. If you are afraid of being bullied, why don't I find someone from the Lin clan, your third cousin..."

Su Qingyu quickly interrupted Lin Wenbai. This second cousin was good at everything, but he was a talker. Let him talk, and he wouldn't be able to talk about it until tomorrow.

"Second cousin, I came to see you for business."

Lin Wenbai raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "What's the business? Tell me, I heard that you are in charge of the family business now, are you here to ask for my help?"

Su Qingyu said in her heart that she was not here to ask for help, she was here to save the lives of the Lin family.
