Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 162 Temporary test in Fuxi Hall

Shen Qinglan studied project budgeting before traveling through time. Although she didn't know how to do business, she could still read accounts very quickly.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" asked the uncle.

"The income of our material store seems to be a lot, but in fact there is almost no profit!" Shen Qinglan said.

The uncle nodded, "Yes, most of the material store's business comes from inside, so it doesn't dare to make a profit. It only makes a small profit, which is barely enough for labor costs."

"I see."

Shen Qinglan picked up a book and read a few articles and said: "The tea house business is not bad, but it is not so good in Kyoto, but the shopkeeper here is lazy?"

The uncle didn't expect his niece to read the account books so quickly. He glanced at her in surprise and explained: "It's not that the shopkeepers are lazy. These tea houses in Beijing used to do good business, and we have been using these shopkeepers for more than ten years.

He is an old man, but recently several royal merchants have joined forces to grab business...the shopkeepers are also miserable and often complain."

"I see."

As soon as Shen Qinglan put down the account books, Shen Qingyan rushed over, "Sisi, what do you want me to do?"

"Big brother is here? Don't worry, my aunt will stay with me for dinner later. Let's talk about it while we eat." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay." Shen Qingyan walked to his uncle's desk and said, "Father, my son will read these account books later. He can just report them to his father then. Why does my father need to come in person?"

"During this period of time, my father will personally keep an eye on it. You should be busy with other things first." The eldest uncle said, picked up the teacup on the side, and said: "I didn't know until today that Sisi can read the account books so quickly.

, we still pay less attention to her over the years.”

"Really?"

Shen Qingyan took out one from the thick stack of account books and opened a page at random, preparing to test her, so he asked: "Sisi, look at it, what is the total number of incoming accounts and the amount of outgoing accounts?"

How many?"

Shen Qinglan looked at it carefully and blurted out: "The income was 7,300 taels, the payment was 4,900 taels, and the balance was no less than 10 taels. My eldest aunt told me before that when doing business, shopkeepers often pay for

Give some discounts to new and old customers, this is a book, the difference is no more than ten taels, there should be no problem."

Shen Qingyan touched her head and exclaimed: "Yes, Sisi, with your eldest brother and my demeanor back then, I am a good business person!"

"Actually, not really. It's just about checking accounts quickly and nothing else." Shen Qinglan said frankly.

"How do you know if you haven't done it before? No one is born with these things. If you can look after the accounts, you can help me and your uncle share the burden, and you can also help with the big and small things at home." Shen Qingyan said.

"I can only take care of the accounts. If my elder brother and uncle are too busy, Sisi can do it for me. I don't have much experience in household matters, but Yan'er beside me is a good housekeeper." Shen Qinglan said.

.

"Oh?" Shen Qingyan sat down in front of the chair and asked, "I remember that girl Yan'er is as old as you, but she has the talent of a housekeeper?"

Shen Qinglan nodded frequently, "Yeah, during the New Year, I wanted to give more silver coins to the servants in the house. It was Yan'er who persuaded me that if the rewards were too many, the gap between the monthly coins and silver coins would be too big in the future, and everyone would be upset.

I was dissatisfied. So I followed the old tradition and added more, without giving any big rewards."

The eldest uncle nodded, "It's true. Now your eldest aunt is in need of a caring person to help manage the house. It would be great if you are willing to give up."

"It's not that I'm willing to give up my love. Yan'er will get married after all, and she will have to deal with these things in the future. It's better to learn more skills from my aunt than to follow me and do nothing." Shen Qinglan said.

Shen Qingyan looked at her with a smile, "My Sisi is really becoming more and more sensible. With your and Yan'er's help in the future, your aunt and uncle and I will be able to relax more."

"Sir, the eldest lady said the banquet is ready." A little girl came in to deliver the message.

"Where are the preparations?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Go back to Miss, just in the inner hall."

"Yeah, uncle, brother, let's go."

At the dinner table, the eldest aunt frequently served Shen Qinglan with dishes, "Sisi, eat more, I have lost a lot of weight recently."

"No way, auntie, you see my face is almost round." Shen Qinglan said, pinching the flesh on her face.

"My Sisi will look fatter and look better, unlike during the disaster relief period when she was so skinny and frightened the eldest aunt," the eldest aunt said.

"Yumei, Sisi said that there is a little girl in her yard named Yan'er who is quite talented in housekeeping. If you are too busy over there, just ask her to learn more from you." The uncle said.

"I know that girl Yan'er. She is indeed very appropriate. I have asked her to handle several things, and she has done them very neatly. She is a smart and capable girl," said the eldest aunt.

"Yeah, aunt, let her help you share the burden!"

"That's great. There have been a lot of things lately, and auntie is a little worried."

While eating, the eldest aunt thought of Shen Qingshi again, sighed and said, "The exam will be over tomorrow, and I don't know how A Shi will be."

"Don't worry, my second brother is only rich with five cars. When he writes articles, he will definitely be able to write smoothly and effectively. Moreover, Your Majesty also knows that the second brother comes from a merchant family. I guess he will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs." Shen Qinglan said.

"Hmm, the household department is a fat one! Wherever my second brother goes, he will definitely have a prosperous official career!" Shen Qingyan said.

The uncle immediately scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, what a fat guy!"

Shen Qingyan immediately lowered his head and continued eating. Shen Qinglan couldn't hide the smile on his face, "That's right, eldest brother, the second brother is an upright official."

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Shen Qinglan said: "Uncle, Zhao Shun... No, King Bin has told you about the Xue and Qin families."

"Well, I told you last night," the uncle said.

The eldest aunt was confused and seemed not to know, so she asked: "Aren't the Xue and Qin families royal merchants in Kyoto? What's the matter?"

"King Bing said that there has been some turmoil between the Xue and Qin families recently, and they have united some merchants to join forces to deal with our Shen family. The Shen family has just entered the capital, and has made good friends with your eldest aunt, your mother's family, the Wang family, which has offended those people.

dissatisfaction." Shen Qinglan explained.

There was a sad look on the eldest aunt's face, and the eldest uncle said: "It's nothing, don't worry too much, we just need to be careful."

"Uncle, Sisi came today because she wanted to discuss this matter with you, so she specifically called her eldest brother. I feel that being cautious will only make those guys more aggressive, and instead think that our Shen family is easy to bully. Uncle, you

But the leader of the merchant sect cannot stop their thoughts by forbearing and compromising. He must fight back in one fell swoop to establish his prestige." Shen Qinglan said.

"Sisi is right, to be patient is to sit back and wait for death."

The eldest aunt has always been a brave and decisive person. After saying that, she shook Shen Qinglan's hand.
