"I don't want to read it." Gu Xuan saw that the account books were stacked thickly together and were full of numbers, so naturally she didn't want to.
"Come here, it's more interesting than looking at the snow." Xie Ziyue continued to wave to her daughter.
What the queen mother said did make some sense. Looking at the silver-covered scenery outside the window, Gu Xuan felt bored, so she obediently shrank into Xie Ziyue's arms.
When Xie Ziyue was young, although her father was not wealthy, there was no shortage of food and clothing at home.
Her mother was the legitimate wife and the daughter of a declining family. Although she couldn't marry into a good family due to family problems, she also learned a lot of skills.
Xie Ziyue's ability to read account books was taught to her at that time.
Holding her daughter in her arms, Xie Ziyue looked a little dazed again - her thoughts seemed to go back to the morning many years ago when her mother taught her to read the account books every day.
But before she could feel hurt, Gu Xuan's voice brought her back to reality:
"Mother, don't the numbers above all match? What's so good about this?"
Gu Xuan actually never understood. Did everyone re-calculate the numbers on the account books?
But can those people even do the most basic addition and subtraction calculations wrong?
Apart from that, she seemed to be unable to read any more information.
"That's not how you look at it," Xie Ziyue pointed to the account book softly, explaining the meaning of these numbers and how to tell what was wrong from these numbers.
Her voice was soft and her embrace was warm. Gu Xuan felt very stable, unlike before when she was by the window.
Listening to their voices, even Taoxiang and others who were serving in the room deliberately lowered their footsteps, trying not to let the noise they made disturb the mother and daughter.
Everyone had a relaxed and heartwarming smile on their faces,
Taoxiang sat on a stool on one side, holding the thread with Grandma Sun and Grandma Li. The three of them looked over there from time to time, and everyone was in a very comfortable mood.
"This account book is so profitable," Gu Xuan exclaimed as she looked at the last number after her mother took her through the account book, "and there is nothing wrong with it!"
This account book only records the last month's accounts. In just one month, 7,000 taels of silver were recorded. Excluding various expenses, the net profit was 5,000 taels.
Don't underestimate this figure. You must know that the best-selling storybook she co-wrote with Zhan Rong, even though it is so popular, has only received 4,000 taels of dividends so far.
But the net profit of a shop owned by the Queen Mother can reach 5,000 taels a month!
As if she didn't recognize her biological mother, Gu Xuan raised her eyes and looked at her in disbelief without blinking.
For the first time, I felt so intuitively that I was really a little expert in reincarnation.
"What's that look in your face?" Xie Ziyue was amused by her daughter's look. She smiled and hugged her, kissing her forehead twice.
At the same time, his eyes scanned his daughter's body, feeling that everything was fine.
"Mother, I admire you so much." Gu Xuan looked at the account book with great interest, "What is this for? There is no problem in the account book."
This is what Gu Xuan admires most about her mother. Logically speaking, such a profitable shop would harbor so many pests if it didn't put great effort into its management.
But nothing can be seen from this account book. This can only prove one thing, that is, the management is very good.
How did the Queen Mother manage to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away?
In the harem, the business outside the palace can still be managed so well!
And the most frightening thing is that the queen mother has not only done the best in business outside the palace, but also in the harem, and has become the most noble woman in the world.
Woohoo, Gu Xuan has decided to be a mother's baby for the rest of her life!
She is a wonderful baby for her mother!
"The rouge seller," Xie Ziyue was obviously very impressed by her daughter's words. Gu Xuan was the one who was close to her heart, and her praise was more effective than anyone else's:
"If you have the chance to go out in the future, you can go and see Xuan Zhai, which is full of rouge and gouache."
Women's money is the most profitable. No one will buy just a piece of rouge. Their market has great potential.
But Xie Ziyue took a fancy to this and turned the most prosperous shop in the capital into a rouge shop.
Facts have proved that her business sense is very keen, and the surprise brought to her by Rouge Shop is worth her efforts.
"Xuan?" Gu Xuan's eyes flickered. Is this the Xuan she was thinking of?
"That's the Xuan named after you," Xie Ziyue said matter-of-factly: "From now on, these things will be yours, so you have to follow your mother and read the account books carefully, do you understand?"
ah?
Gu Xuan looked at the thick pile of ledgers on the table and clenched her palms after a moment.
right! My mother put food in my mouth, I must take a good look at the account book!
The ambitious Gu Xuan didn't go out to play this afternoon, and kept following Xie Ziyue to read the account books.
Reading the ledger is similar to doing math to some extent. In the afternoon, seeing her yawning profusely, Xie Ziyue asked the two nuns to take her down to rest.
He sat on the couch and continued to read the account book.
A-Xuan is still young now, so it’s rare to see her by his side for so long.
What's more, she is really smart and knows how to draw inferences from one example. She can already see many simple problems. Although Xie Ziyue didn't say anything, she was very satisfied in her heart.
Don't rush this kind of thing, teach it slowly, and one day she will be able to handle it with ease. Until then, she has enough ability to support her.
"Your Majesty," Xie Ziyue had just closed an account book and put it aside when Xin Zhangjing walked in from the door:
"Princess Snow has just left the palace."
"So soon?" Xie Ziyue was a little surprised, but this matter had spread throughout the palace two days ago, and Concubine Xue should have left.
It's just that she thought that the other party would stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect that this time it would be very simple.
Maybe she had had enough of the palace.
"I have also found out what you asked your servant to check before. Concubine Xue took a rattle from the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, but the servant who gave it to me doesn't remember the specific appearance of the rattle, so I can't be sure."
When Xin Zhangjing said this, he looked up at Xie Ziyue and changed his subject:
"It's just that this thing doesn't have so many coincidences. Maybe it's just that Concubine Xue planned to give the rattle to her grandson, but she didn't expect that he got smallpox and died suddenly. Looking at the rattle every day, it's hard to avoid seeing the thing and thinking about it. I simply burned it, but I can still ask for help. Psychological comfort.”
Other than that, there seems to be no other reason to explain it.
Although Xie Ziyue felt something was wrong, she didn't feel it after thinking for a long time. In the end, she could only say:
"I have been paying attention to the things in Weiyang Palace during this period. Everything I bring in must be carefully inspected and smoked with mugwort as much as possible."
Xin Zhangjing responded one by one.
From then on, as Xie Ziyue said, everything entering Weiyang Palace was specially smoked with mugwort.
The harem was peaceful for a while, but something big happened at the end of the year.
