These two short words made Jin Qiurong both worried and happy.
Like the Xia Kingdom, North Korea adheres to the custom of men taking charge of the outside world and women taking charge of the house.
When Jin Qiurong was in her boudoir, she often saw how her mother took care of the housework.
After marrying Zuo Yong, she was mentally prepared.
I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
"Thank you for your love, Princess. I'm just here for the first time, so I'm afraid I might have made some omissions and let down the trust of the Princess and you."
Jin Qiurong still has the necessary humility, and there is also some sincerity in it.
Xu Ruolin corrected her title first.
"We are different in our own home from outside. Why do we call her concubine or princess? We are not afraid of being separated from each other? From now on, just call me sister-in-law."
Jin Qiurong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rules in Prince Xia's palace were so loose.
You can call Xu Ruolin sister-in-law, which shows that the relationship within the Zuo family is very close.
This immediately dissipated a lot of her caution.
Xu Ruolin was already prepared for her worries.
"Although you don't understand something here, it doesn't matter much. As long as you have a capable helper, you will be familiar with it in a short time."
Xu Ruolin waved to the distance.
"Chen Xin, come here."
Upon hearing this, a young woman in military uniform stepped forward and saluted Xu Ruolin and Jin Qiurong.
"This is Chen Xin from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I will be your secretary from now on. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."
Jin Qiurong looked at Chen Xin curiously.
I saw this girl with short, ear-length hair and a neat military uniform. She was very dashing and capable.
However, Jin Qiurong was a little confused about this arrangement.
"My little sister has brought a lot of people here from home. I think she will be able to handle the housework."
She still has a traditional family mindset.
When making decisions and managing household affairs, it is natural to use familiar servants, so that you can feel at ease.
Xu Ruolin, the eldest sister-in-law, was very competent and took the trouble to explain to her.
"It's no problem for the people you brought over from your parents' family to do housework. But when it comes to finance, management and security issues, you must have professionals to guide you. That's what Chen Xin does."
Jin Qiurong certainly knows whether a family is well managed, and financial problems bear the brunt.
But she also knew something about Zuo Yong's situation. With the salary she received, it seemed that it would not be very difficult to take care of him.
However, Xu Ruolin's next actions made her understand how complicated it is to manage such a family's financial problems.
Xu Ruolin took out a lot of documents and handed them to her one by one.
"Originally, the seventh child lived in the mansion, and all the expenses went to the public accounts. Now that you have started a family and started a business, you must have capital to establish yourself. These are the family assets allocated to you by the mansion, but you need to take stock carefully."
Hearing that it was a division of the family income, Jin Qiurong quickly took action.
This kind of thing will happen in any big family, and it involves many things and even more interests.
But she picked up the document and read it again and again, feeling a little confused.
Xu Ruolin explained to her from the side.
"This is the equity certificate of the Nongken Group. With this, your family can receive a dividend from the Nongken Group every year."
Jin Qiurong didn't know what the Nongken Group was.
Jin Qiurong was also confused about what a share certificate was.
But she still understands the word "dividends".
Since income was involved, she quickly put it away.
In addition, other documents are also equity certificates. Added up, there are actually more than a dozen copies.
Just one document after another and no cash in sight made Jin Qiurong a little uncertain about the division of the Xia Prince's family.
Is this Princess Xia in front of her too stingy and unwilling to part with valuable things?
Just when he had a different idea, Huang, who was sitting at the top, took action.
"You couple are very thin now, but in the future there will be many children and grandchildren, and there will be more people to eat. It's no wonder that your family is not rich. The old woman has nothing to give away. There are two shops in Jinan and Songjiang Prefecture, and the daily business is not bad.
I will give it to you."
Two consecutive shop contracts were delivered, which finally eased Jin Qiurong's mind.
"I usually only focus on marching and fighting. Financial management is really a headache. I don't have anything to give as a gift. It's just a small gift. Let my siblings use it for self-defense."
Wang Siyi also sent gifts.
Nothing else, but a revolver.
Seeing this kind of gift, Jin Qiurong's heart beat fast.
Is this kind of thing something that women can touch?
However, this revolver uses a lot of gold, silver and jade, so it is extremely valuable in itself.
She knew the goods and hurriedly thanked Wang Siyi.
"I am an academic, and my pockets are empty. I can't compare with the two princesses. I had to make an abacus with my own hands. In the future, my sister-in-law will run the family and make calculations, and the barn will be rich."
Zuo Xianmei's gift is an abacus.
It is said to be worthless, but every bead on it is carved from agate, and even the outer frame is made of top-quality huanghuali.
"Lu An is still busy in North Korea and won't be back for a while. He asked me to send you a congratulatory gift, and I ask my wife for your forgiveness."
Zuo Xianmei handed Lu An's gift to Jin Qiurong again.
"This is a box of watermelon cream. I usually have a cough or something, and eating a little of it has extraordinary effects. It is made by a great scholar in the land, but it is hard to find."
Hearing that it was a gift from Lu An, who had conquered smallpox, Jin Qiurong immediately became cautious, knowing that such a gift must be extraordinary.
It wasn't until she got home that she had time to ask Chen Xin for advice.
"Miss Chen..."
"Madam, just call me by name. In the future, I will be responsible for my wife's management and travel, so please don't worry."
Jin Qiurong began to adapt to his new identity.
"Chen Xin, what are the uses of these equity certificates?"
Looking at the files lined up on the desktop, Chen Xin couldn't help but be jealous.
"Madam, you don't know, these are mountains of gold and silver seas!"
She first picked up the equity certificate of the Nongken Group to explain to Jin Qiurong.
"This agricultural reclamation group is the largest grain producer in the Xia Kingdom. The largest shareholder is the state, accounting for 51% of the shares; followed by the Xia Palace, accounting for 17.2%. In addition, there are many private shareholders. This
Once the general and his wife got married, Prince Xia's palace donated some shares from it. You see, the data is here, it is 0.73%. With this share, the wife can receive dividends from the Agricultural Reclamation Group in the future."
After a new explanation, Jin Qiurong understood the meaning of percentage.
This made her frown.
"0.73%... How much income can you get from such a small amount of equity?"
Chen Xin laughed dumbly, knowing that Jin Qiurong was wrong.
"The annual profit of the Nongken Group is more than two million taels of silver. Madam, can you do the math, how much is the dividend?"
As soon as Jin Qiurong saw her smile, he knew something was wrong. He immediately used the method she taught him to do the calculations himself.
When the results appeared on the paper, the newlywed woman suddenly felt the same trembling feeling she had last night.
After taking off the red hijab yesterday and seeing her newlywed residence, she thought Zuo Yong's property was not rich enough.
After all, it was just a two-story building. Although it was decorated unusually and was extremely comfortable to use, the area of the entire courtyard was not even as large as her home in North Korea.
She originally thought that from now on she would run the business well and keep the whole family running.
Now that she saw the results on paper, she realized how wealthy this family really was beneath the seemingly ordinary surface.
