For the next two days, everything was business as usual, and Lin Bai returned to his previous life.
No!
To be precise, it was much more miserable than before, because Caiyun reminded him from time to time to study and take exams for merit and fame.
It is impossible to test for merit and fame, not even in this life.
If you don’t know all the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you take the test?
The old mother-in-law said that there are many ways to prove oneself, and there is no need to take a test for merit. As a time traveler, Lin Bai did not believe that he could not achieve anything. After all, he had received nine years of compulsory education.
Don't embarrass the time travellers.
right!
No rush, take your time!
Lin Bai was calm, but another thing made him very depressed.
That is, Su Mingyue went out early and came back late every day, busier than the Prime Minister of the country. After that day, he never saw her again.
This is outrageous. How can we cultivate feelings like this?
"Caiyun, what is your eldest lady busy with every day?"
Lin Bai was partly complaining and partly concerned.
My wife! It was so tiring that my body collapsed even before I got married.
Caiyun didn't take it seriously at all and replied: "Uncle, isn't the eldest lady always like this?"
"However, I heard from Zhuiyue that the eldest lady has been focusing on production these two days, saying that it is to make up for Qingzhou's goods and pay three times the compensation. I am afraid that the eldest lady will..."
Caiyun looked worried.
The Su family's crisis is only temporarily lifted, and the goods that need to be replenished must be replenished.
Lin Bai said: "The goods were robbed, and the Su family is not entirely responsible. At worst, it will cause trouble with the government."
It is not unheard of for goods to be robbed. Usually when it comes to the government, both parties will be asked to take a step back. The relevant court may even offer some condolences.
After all, this counts as the imperial court's failure to suppress bandits.
Caiyun shook her head and said, "The eldest lady said that the most important thing in business is integrity. Customers only come to place orders if they trust us. The Su family cannot evade responsibility. She does not want to cause trouble with the government."
This stupid wife!
With such a big hole, do you have to fill it yourself?
What year is your head?
It seems that I have to speed up, and I can't let my wife collapse from exhaustion.
I don’t know what’s going on over there in Lu Dashan.
"That's right! My uncle, the lady told you to go to Cloth Village later when she went out. The lady will be waiting there for you to go to Sihai Bank together." Caiyun said suddenly.
"You didn't tell me earlier!"
…
Sujia cloth village.
Under Caiyun's careful decoration, Lin Bai transformed into a handsome young man, standing together with Su Mingyue, like a golden boy and girl.
Feeling the countless envious eyes on the roadside, Lin Bai gave the little girl a thumbs up.
Zhuiyue also arrived with a carriage at this time, and all the gifts were ready.
"Miss, uncle, you can go."
"Um!"
Su Mingyue nodded and then got on the carriage.
Chaiyue drove while Caiyun stayed in Buzhuang waiting, but the girl did not forget to wink at Lin Bai, as if she was seizing the opportunity.
Lin Bai was happy!
sure!
She is indeed my uncle's good girl.
He also looked back at the other party, indicating that it was no problem.
However, after the two sat down and the carriage started for a while, Lin Bai was about to speak, but found that Su Mingyue had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.
Slept peacefully and soundly.
Lin Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that his wife was working hard, but she didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
"Chai Yue, are you here already? Why don't you wake me up?"
I don't know how long it took, but Su Mingyue woke up and found that the carriage had stopped. She was the only one left in the carriage, still covered with Lin Bai's clothes, and she quickly opened the curtain.
"My uncle said that Miss was working too hard and asked me not to disturb her," Zhuiyue replied.
"Nonsense! Where are the others?"
Su Mingyue quickly got off the carriage.
Zhuiyue said: "My uncle said that the young lady will be hungry when she wakes up, so he went to buy some food for the young lady."
Su Mingyue said displeased: "What time is it? Business is important."
At this time, Lin Bai happened to come over carrying snacks.
"You must rest first at all times. The sky will not fall. Moreover, even if the sky falls, I am your husband and I will bear it."
Su Mingyue was startled for a moment, maybe she didn't expect Lin Bai to say such a thing.
Chaiyue's eyes also lit up slightly.
"Eat something first!" Lin Bai handed over the snack.
Su Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then took the snack, "Let's eat when we go back!"
With that said, she entered Sihai Bank.
Lin Bai shook his head. He had no idea. Who would have such a workaholic woman on the stall? He followed him immediately.
…
"Just because you are his son's husband?"
In the carriage, Su Mingyue looked at Lin Bai with a strange expression.
The two of them had just visited Qian Wantong and knew the reason, but it was still unbelievable.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Didn't Shopkeeper Qian say that he is optimistic about the Su family and you?"
Su Mingyue still looked at Lin Bai.
"All right!"
Lin Bai spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure, but there may be another possibility."
When he was at Sihai Bank just now, he saw the other party's account book.
"What's possible?"
Su Mingyue asked.
Lin Bai handed over the snacks at the right time and said with a smile: "Eat first, I will tell you after you finish eating."
Su Mingyue's eyes twitched, but Lin Bai pretended not to notice. In the end, Su Mingyue took the snack and ate it in small bites.
Lin Bai watched with a smile as the carriage drove away.
night!
In front of the desk, some strange symbols appeared on Su Mingyue's account book, which Zhuiyue had never seen before. What was even stranger was that she found that the young lady's work efficiency was much faster than usual.
"Miss, what are these?"
Zhuiyue couldn't help but ask.
Su Mingyue replied: "These are called Arabic numerals."
"A... number?" Zhuiyue frowned, "What's the use?"
"It's very useful." Su Mingyue raised her head, with a glimmer of light in her beautiful eyes, "The Su family's ability to survive the crisis this time is due to it."
"it?"
Zhuiyue looked in disbelief, "Isn't it because of Sihai Qianzhuang that the Su family got through the difficulties?"
"That's right! But Sihai Qianzhuang helped the Su family because of it."
Zhuiyue's face was full of surprise, and he subconsciously asked, "Is it worth two hundred thousand taels?"
Su Mingyue thought for a while and said, "It is priceless."
These figures cannot be measured by price at all. She only used it for one night, and she knew how much more convenient it was. More importantly, it allowed many people who had no accounting experience and people who were not good at abacus to get started quickly.
This way, she can hand it over to someone else, saving a lot of time.
She finally understood why Shopkeeper Qian helped the Su family. This was probably to return a favor or express goodwill! Of course, this favor is not really worth 200,000 taels, but because 200,000 taels can restore the trust of the Su family, and Sihai Qianzhuang does not need to pay anything. They only need to take the 200,000 taels and walk around.
Probably this is the most reasonable explanation.
"Where did it come from?"
Zhuiyue asked curiously.
The corners of Su Mingyue's mouth raised slightly, "It was invented by my husband."
…
