Qixiayuan

Qiao Jingru was sitting in Lu Xiang's room looking at the account books. Now she wanted to see not only the house's account books, but also Zhuangzi's harvest and the accounts of each shop.

She regretted listening to Lu Xiang and buying so many shops.

It looks like one head is as big as two.

Liangchen was dozing off with his head propped up, and Hibiscus came into the room to give Qiao Jinru some tea.

Qiao Jingru put down her account book and rubbed her sore eyes.

Mu Jin advised: "Young lady, rest your eyes. It won't be too late to look again tomorrow."

"Your lady is too lazy, I'm suffering." Qiao Jingru wailed.

But complaining was a complaint, and Lu Xiang just said something to her, and she still went to do it for her.

Hibiscus covered her lips and smiled softly.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the account book and changed slightly.

When Qiao Jingru saw that she was silent, she raised her head to look at her, and happened to see Mu Jin frowning.

"Hibiscus, can you read the account books?"

Mu Jin quickly looked away and knelt down in fear: "Young lady, please forgive me, I didn't mean to look at you."

Qiao Jingru put down the tea cup and pulled her up: "Don't be afraid, I don't have any other intentions. Tell me now, do you understand?"

Hibiscus wringed her fingers, lowered her eyes and said, "Before I was sold into slavery, my father was a bookkeeper. I studied with my father for several years and I have a little understanding."

When Qiao Jingru heard this, she immediately put the account book in front of Mu Jin: "Look at this account for me. I always feel that something is wrong, but after calculating it one by one, there is nothing wrong."

Mu Jindang pointed to one of them and said: "Madam, the payment for this purchase is wrong. The purchase cost is too high, and the profit from the sale is reduced..."

After she said this, Qiao Jingru suddenly understood.

"So the shopkeeper is getting rich for his own money."

"Yes." Mu Jin nodded: "In fact, it is understandable for people below to seek personal gain, but it's okay to be greedy. If you do it too much, you have to consider character issues."

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

You have to expect others to do things for you wholeheartedly. Sometimes you have to turn a blind eye, but you can't be too indulgent, otherwise you will deceive the boss.

The two were talking and the door was pushed open.

Lu Xiang was stunned when he saw Qiao Jingru in the room: "How long has it been since sister-in-law has been here?"

Qiao Jingru did not answer Lu Xiang's question, but said excitedly: "Xiang Xiang, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your courtyard."

"Ah?" Lu Xiang was a little confused.

"Hibiscus, Hibiscus can settle accounts and is better than me." Qiao Jingru praised without hesitation.

Mu Jin lowered her eyes shyly: "I don't dare to praise you as a young mistress, slave... I only understand a little bit."

"I'm so humble." Qiao Jingru said: "Even a young lady from a merchant family may not have learned to this extent. Accounting is not only about learning, talent is also very important."

Qiao Jingru thinks that she does not have that talent, and everything she has now is from elementary school.

Mu Jin, who had learned how to read accounts from her father for several years, could see problems at a glance. With more training, her ability would be absolutely astonishing.

Lu Xiang had no doubt that she was there and looked at Hibiscus in surprise.

"You have been in our hospital for so long, I didn't even know you had such ability."

"It's the eldest mistress who promoted me."

Lu Xiang looked at Hibiscus, his eyes twinkling: "From tomorrow on, you don't have to stay here to serve me..."

Halfway through her words, Hibiscus knelt down with a plop, frightened.

"Miss Third, slave... slave..." She didn't know what she had done wrong: "Miss, please don't rush."

Please leave, slave."

Qiao Jingru couldn't help but pulled her up: "I'm not driving you away, I have other plans for you."

"Go to the Qiao family and give you a month to learn how to read and calculate accounts with the people arranged by the eldest young master of the Qiao family. I believe it will not be difficult with your foundation and your talent." Lu Xiang said.

Mu Jin stared at Lu Xiang blankly, her words causing ripples in her calm heart.

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Go back and tidy up. I'll take you to Qiao Mansion tomorrow morning." Qiao Jingru said.

Hibiscus responded and left happily.

After the others left, Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Are you planning to reuse hibiscus?"

She knew that the silk and satin shop that Lu Xiang wanted to open was not a simple shop, otherwise she would not have invited embroiderers and weavers from all over the country to come to Beijing. They were all women, and the person in charge had to be a woman for convenience. She also had to be able to keep accounts, not to mention

Easy to find.

Lu Xiang curled his eyes and smiled: "Whether she can stand out depends on her ability. Do not trust others when you employ them. If Mu Jin dares to betray her, I will not be lenient."

But before that, she can't lose her goodwill towards human nature.

After talking about hibiscus, Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang with a gossipy face: "How is the Wu'an Hou Mansion? Is it easy to get along with the lady in the house?"

The corners of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, and she finally knew why Qiao Jinru was sitting in her room so late.

She took off her shoes and climbed up the stairs, sat face to face with Qiao Jingru, and enthusiastically recounted what happened in the He Mansion.

"...I guess you will be able to hear the ominous news about He Zhimiao spread throughout the capital when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Qiao Jingru was dumbfounded: "So exciting?"

This is a big deal, right?

Now He Zhimiao became famous in the capital.

"Sister-in-law, if you've finished listening to the gossip, you can go back to sleep."

Qiao Jingru glared at her: "Then I'm leaving."

With that said, he put on his shoes and left.

As soon as she walked out of the house, she heard Lu Xiang shouting from behind: "Sister-in-law, take the account books with you."

The person who responded to her was Qiao Jingru's figure running faster than a rabbit. Her voice could be heard from afar: "There is one more thing you can read for me. I'm going to vomit."

Lu Xiang banged the table.

She also felt like vomiting.

After thinking about it, she called Yunzhe and asked her to move the account books on the table to the hibiscus house: "Let her read these before leaving tomorrow."

Yunzhe: "..."

Why are the masters lazier than the other?

…

A few days later, Ah Man led a doctor into the Lu Mansion.

Manager Du looked familiar: "Aman, who is this?"

"The doctor who came to see Miss Third Miss suddenly fell into coma some time ago," Ah Man said.

Manager Du suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

I remembered that it was the doctor with aloof temperament.

Looking at it during the day, I feel even more noble, but that's not the point.

"Why did you ask for a doctor?"

Ah Man said: "Miss San felt a little dizzy when she got up early, so she asked the doctor to come over and take a look."

Manager Du nodded hurriedly: "In that case, go quickly and don't delay the third lady's illness."

Ah Man led the people towards Qixia Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she rushed into Lu Xiang's room: "Miss Third, Miss Third, Your Highness is too bullying."
