Ji Zhen originally wanted to leave the matter regarding the New Year in the hands of Second Aunt, but who would have thought that Ji Yang would suddenly return to the clan and Zhou's would split her attention to take care of Ji Yang and Ji Min Er.

But when Ji Zhen became the butler, she was immediately dumbfounded, because Ji Zhen wanted to double the number of gifts she had. Originally, after the head of the Liu Estate was taken off, Lin Bei thought that she would still have a lot of silver left. However, he didn't expect that with a single move from Ji Zhen, even if she were to double the Liu Estate's wealth, it wouldn't be enough to cover the hole.

Initially, Lin Bei thought that he was distracted and did not hear it clearly, but he asked again: "Doubling all the gifts?"

Ji Zhen nodded her head: "Twice that, all gifts must be expensive and exquisite, to reflect the temperament of the Pingbei Mansion." Actually, even Ji Zhen herself wanted to laugh when she said these words. After all, Pingbei Mansion was a Marquis Family, other than marrying a few well-educated wives, the rest of them were coarse elders.

Lin Bei frowned, then looked at Mother Chen beside Ji Zhen and said: "Miss, this gift slip is already expensive enough, and this Great Madame has even instructed for it to be more expensive than the gifts that we give to Prince Li's Mansion in the past."

Mother Chen took the gift slip and glanced at it. Jewelry, jade, silk, and even these supplementary items were all present. It was very suitable.

Although his own Miss was intelligent, but this was the first time he was being the boss. The boss did not know how expensive the firewood and oil were, and was famous for being straightforward and straightforward. This gift was also a big one, he did not know how to feel at all, but if he continued to send it on, he was afraid that the mansion would not be able to afford it.

"Miss, this gift list is already not light. If you really think it's light, why don't we add one or two more expensive ones? There is no need to double the gift list." Mother Chen said with pain in her heart.

Ji Zhen naturally knew that the gift list was not light, but his family had not interacted with the Prince Li's Mansion for many years, if they wanted to board the Prince Li's Mansion's large ship, they would have to spend all that they had: "Uncle Lin, just do as I say, if the money in the sect is not enough, they can just directly use the Sunflower House's money to pay for it."

Since Ji Zhen said so, then naturally, it showed that she won't change her mind. What else did Lin Bei have to say, she could only follow Ji Zhen's instructions. As for the allocation of funds from the Sunflower House's account, and for her own Miss to make up for the loopholes in the public administration, Lin Bei would naturally just listen to it.

Mother Chen stood on one side and was feeling anxious. Her family's Miss's butler method was too extravagant and wasteful, if Housekeeper Lin did not agree, she would have to take the money out of his own personal storage. How would he be able to butler like this in the future?

Although Mother Chen was very worried, but she would at most nag about it in front of Ji Zhen, so she wouldn't spread the news. Looking at the accounts book in the officials' office, it didn't take long for the steward's wives to come looking for them.

These people were all seniors that Old Liu had left behind at that time, their methods were extremely crafty. Ji Qin had always wanted to find a reason to sell them, but without any reason, it would cause the servants in the mansion to panic.

When they were at Ji Qin's butler's side, they were pressed down by Ji Qin and didn't dare to do anything, but they were different now. In their eyes, no matter how powerful and decisive Ji Zhen's martial arts were, she was still a girl with germanium.

Looking at the lists handed over by the stewards, the amount of silver required to purchase these items had actually doubled compared to the previous years, and then looking at the stewards' dodging gazes, how could Ji Zhen not guess what they were thinking? She thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Why is it that this year's purchases have increased by more than 10% compared to the previous years?"

Ji Zhen naturally knew that there was something wrong with the account book, and there were less people in the residence this year. The Liu Estate had already broken off their contact, so logically speaking, the usage of energy in the residence should have been reduced by a lot, but these old fellows actually dared to falsely state the unit price. Did they think that just because she stayed in the residence and did not go out, she did not know the market price?

The leader quickly took a step forward and said, "Due to the disaster this year, there's a lot less stuff in the city. In addition to the inconvenience of transportation, it's very normal for the price to rise." This person saw that after he finished speaking, Ji Zhen still nodded his head, as if he understood something. In his heart, he was thinking, it's just a little girl, there's nothing that she can understand.

They, who was also Li Da, who was not in the residence at the time, were extremely clear about the prices of the purchases made in's residence. Now that Li Da was not around, they did not believe that this Miss, whose fingers were not stained with the Yang Spring Water, would know the prices of these items.

Ji Zhen smiled and nodded. Just as Mother Chen was about to say something, she saw the cold smile on the corners of her own Miss's mouth and knew that these old things were going to suffer.

Ji Zhen just kept them in suspense, drank some tea and ate some pastries, making these old things kneel for a while, until Ji Zhen put down the teacups. Then, she coldly swept his eyes over them: "Mother Chen, go call these vice managers over."

The Pingbei Mansion was very careful with everything. In fact, the only reason why the Old Liu set up this position was because of them, and after that, the Vice Supervisors were all promoted to stewards. The Vice Supervisors were now empty, and the Ji Qin had placed her own people on early in order to keep an eye on these stewards.

"Have you seen these lists of goods?" Ji Zhen passed over the goods list to them, and they nodded their heads. Although they did not have the authority to decide what was on the list, but they still knew what was written on the list.

"These stewards told me that the price had risen this year, and they said that they wanted to raise the budget by ten percent. Naturally, I felt that it was unnecessary. Now, if any of you are able to get all of these things back with last year's price, then the position of being in charge will belong to you, and there will be more capable people, but if you guys are unable to do so, then the Pingbei Mansion will not be able to raise idle people. "

As soon as Ji Zhen said this, the eyes of the Vice Supervisors lit up. Adding on the fact that the price was already slightly higher last year, even if the price of the Hanzhou City s rose, it would not be as high as it was now. Miss is relieved, I will vouch for it with my life, this year's items will definitely be even better than last year's. "

Ji Zhen nodded her head in satisfaction, the faces of the managers kneeling in front of him were ashen, Mother Chen knew that her own Miss would not spare them, and took the chance to clean up all the old foxes Old Liu had left behind.
