Chapter 106: Xin Yuanwen who pins women's hairpins on the street

When Chen Shiying was mentioned, Xin Wenyuan became a little irritated, and even looking at Xin Nianyan, who was somewhat similar to Chen Shiying, felt it was an eyesore.

"Well, since the prince has said so, you can take care of it if you want."

Xin Wenyuan waved his hand.

Zhang Yunhui took his arm and shook it dissatisfied. Just before Xin Nianyan came, he had vowed to give her the shop and take it back!

"Father, for so many years, my mother has worked hard to take care of the shop all by herself. Now my sister can just take it away if she wants. It's a bit unreasonable."

Xin Rouer spoke unwillingly. When she thought about what originally belonged to her being taken away by Xin Nianyan, she felt heartbroken and uncomfortable.

Zhang Yunhui looked at Xin Nianyan with some sadness and grievance, "Yan'er, I have always treated you like my own daughter. Do you still think that I want to seize your mother's things?"

Xin Nianyan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Mother is indeed working hard. She has worked hard for so many years without any credit."

"It's just that not even half of the profits from the shop over the years have been accounted for by the Prime Minister. I don't know where my mother has used the money she earned."

Zhang Yunhui didn't expect that she would ask such a pointed question, and her face turned pale for a moment.

That money naturally went into Zhang Yunhui's own small treasury, but over the years Zhou Tong was addicted to gambling, and every time he approached her, he had to take hundreds of taels of silver to spend, and now he actually doesn't have much left.

"Of course it's all used to support the expenses of the prime minister's house. Once the money is spent, I don't record it in the account..."

Zhang Yunhui smiled reluctantly, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Nothing she said could withstand investigation.

She just wants to send this plague god away as soon as possible. This little bitch is getting more and more difficult to deal with!

"Since Yan'er insists, I'll let you take care of it. If you have any business matters, you can ask mother."

"Master, I'm a little tired. Yan'er went out to check the accounts and worked hard today. Let her go back and rest early."

Zhang Yunhui pretended to be weak and held her head while looking at Xin Wenyuan. He felt distressed for a while and couldn't help but get angry at Xin Nianyan again.

"Look how angry you have made your mother, why don't you get out quickly?"

Xin Nianyan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said softly, "Mom, please take care of yourself. Yan'er will leave first."

After that, he turned around and left Huilan Courtyard.

Her words to Zhang Yunhui to take care of her health were sincere.

After all, it would be too easy for her to be pissed off so early!

It was already past dinner time when she returned to Yanyun Yuan, so she had to ask the kitchen to make another portion and deliver it to her courtyard alone.

After dinner, Xiaozhu helped her wash up and massaged her shoulders thoughtfully in the room.

She patted Xiao Zhu's hand and signaled her to stop, "Xiao Zhu, go and ask Han Lu to come in. I have something to tell her."

Xiaozhu retreated in response, and soon came in with cold dew.

"Miss." Han Lu Fu bowed.

"You have arithmetic skills, would you like to be the accountant of my stores and manage the finances for me?"

With her ability, it is a pity that she has to serve tea and water at home.

"But according to the lady's orders." Han Lu lowered her head and responded softly.

"Okay, then you will handle the store affairs for me from now on."

Xin Nianyan nodded, "Go down and make preparations before taking office tomorrow."

"My slave, I obey." Han Lufu stepped back, and Xiao Zhu watched her leave, feeling a little envious.

"Sister Hanlu is really capable. Now she can go out and see the world."

"Why, you also want to go out and see the world?" Xin Nianyan glanced at her.

"No, no, no, Xiaozhu has to serve the lady and follow her for the rest of her life!"

Xiaozhu waved her hands repeatedly, "Besides, by following Miss, you can see a lot of the world. Miss is the most capable!"

Xin Nianyan smiled and shook her head, "I know how to pick out nice things to say."

Xiao Zhu stuck out her tongue and went over to continue squeezing her shoulders.



When Xin Nianyan had free time these days, she would go to shops and spend most of her time in clothing stores.

She sent all the Ziyun gauze she bought from the cloth store to a ready-made clothing store, drew a few clothing styles that would be popular in a few years, and asked the tailor there to make patterns and cut them.

The tailor in the clothing store is a delicate-looking woman who loves the soft and beautiful Ziyun gauze so much that she is reluctant to waste even a penny of it.

He was even more amazed at Xin Nianyan's drawings, and couldn't stop praising the young lady for her ingenuity.

The money owed by several previous shopkeepers was recovered by the new shopkeeper who was promoted by Xin Nianyan, and the account was settled.

None of the people Zhang Yunhui mentioned were good people. Even if they had some business acumen, they had people behind them, and they didn't have a good attitude toward the other clerks in the store.

Now being kicked out like a dog in the water, several stewards could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, after all the errors and omissions were found in black and white, who would dare to owe money to the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

As dusk approached in the afternoon, Xin Nianyan drove back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with his men.

She sat on the carriage and thought about it, and after running the store for a few days, she had a rough understanding of the operation. With the cold dew, she didn't need to pay so much attention here.

Just waiting for the clothes made of Ziyun yarn to come out, create a wave of craze, and make him a lot of money...

"Miss, miss, look!" Xiaozhu beside her pulled her and shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Xin Nianyan followed her and opened the curtain to look out. She happened to see Xin Wenyuan, who had changed into regular clothes, giving a hairpin to a woman in a jewelry shop with a tender face.

"It's the master!" Xiaozhu said in surprise, but Xin Nianyan raised a finger and pressed her lips.

"Shh." She put down the curtain and raised the corners of her mouth calmly.

Just now I had a startling look at the woman with eyes full of eyes. Who else could she be if she wasn't Gu Shuang?

She waited until the carriage was far away before she took back her hand. Xiaozhu blinked in surprise, "Miss, am I right?"

"Just pretend you didn't see anything."

Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to the lady."

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady sent someone to tell her that the Prime Minister was on official business today and would not come back for dinner, so everyone could eat in their own courtyard.

Xin Nianyan nodded in agreement, but felt a little funny in his heart.

I don’t know if he used the same excuse to send her mother away when he had an extramarital affair.

She has been busy with things in the store these days and hasn't seen her grandmother much. It's still early and she plans to go to the meditation center to have a meal with the old lady.

He led Xiaozhu all the way there, but met Xin Rouer in the garden.

Xin Rouer covered her face with a veil and was holding a mahogany box in her hand. She was heading towards Huilan Courtyard to see her mother.

As they bumped into each other, Xin Rou'er's eyes were full of resentment and she suppressed them. She said softly, "I heard that these sisters are busy taking care of the shop, so they finally have time to visit grandma?"

"My sister is right. I have been very busy these past two days. I was afraid that my grandmother would miss her, so I came to spend some time with her." Xin Nianyan smiled back at her, looking at the veil on her face in surprise and asked.
