Absolutely! My maid was also reborn after traveling through time

Chapter 162 Temporary Test in Fuxi Hall
Before traveling, Shen Qinglan learned about project budgeting. Although she didn't know how to do business, she was quick to read the accounts.

"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong?" the uncle asked.

"The income of our material farm seems to be a lot, but in fact there is almost no profit!" Shen Qinglan said.

The uncle nodded, "That's right, most of the business of the material shop comes from Da Nei, so they dare not make a profit, only a small profit, which is barely enough for labor costs."

"I see."

Shen Qinglan picked up a book and flipped through a few articles, saying: "The business of the tea house is not bad, but the capital city is not so good, but the shopkeeper here is lazy?"

The uncle didn't expect his little niece to read the account books so quickly, he glanced at her in surprise, and explained: "It's not that the shopkeepers are lazy. The business of these tea houses in Beijing used to be good, and we have used these shopkeepers for more than ten years. It's just that several imperial merchants have joined forces to grab business recently...the shopkeepers are also miserable and often complain."

"I see."

Just as Shen Qinglan put down the account book, Shen Qingyan rushed over, "Sisi, what do you want me to do?"

"Big brother is here? Don't worry, my aunt will leave me for dinner later, let's talk about it when we eat." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay." Shen Qingyan walked to the uncle's desk, and said: "Father, my son will read these account books later, and I will just report to my father when the time comes. Why does father have to come in person?"

"Recently, my father will keep an eye on me personally, so you can do other things first." The uncle said, picked up the teacup beside him, and said, "I just found out today that Sisi reads the account books so quickly. , we have paid less attention to her over the years."

"really?"

Shen Qingyan took out a book from a thick stack of account books, flipped through a page at random, and was about to test her, so he asked, "Sisi, take a look, what is the total number of incoming accounts and what is the outgoing account?" How many?"

Shen Qinglan looked at it carefully, and blurted out: "The account received 300 taels, and the account was 900 taels. The difference is no less than ten taels. My aunt told me before that the shopkeepers often do business for the new Some discounts for old customers, this is a cloth account, the difference is not more than ten taels, there should be no problem."

Shen Qingyan patted her head and exclaimed: "Yes, Sisi, with the demeanor of your big brother and me back then, it is a material for doing business!"

"Actually, it's not. It's just to read the accounts quickly, and nothing else." Shen Qinglan said frankly.

"How do you know if you haven't done it? No one is born with these things. If you can read the accounts, you can also help me and your uncle share the burden. You can also help with family matters." Shen Qingyan said.

"I can only look at the accounts. If my eldest brother and uncle are too busy, Sisi can do it for me. I don't have much experience in family matters, but Yan'er by my side is a good housekeeper." Shen Qinglan said .

"Oh?" Shen Qingyan sat down in front of the chair and asked: "I remember that girl Yan'er is as old as you, yet she has the talent of a housekeeper?"

Shen Qinglan nodded frequently, "Well, during the New Year, I wanted to give more silver taels to the servants in the mansion, but it was Yan'er who persuaded me that if there were too many rewards, there would be too much difference between the monthly silver and silver in the future, and everyone would be upset. Dissatisfied. So I added some more according to the old rules, and there was no Daxing reward."

Uncle nodded, "It's true. Now your aunt needs a caring person to help housekeeper. It would be great if you are willing to part with her."

"It's not that I'm willing to give up. Yan'er is going to get married after all, and she will have to deal with these things in the future. It's better to learn more skills from my aunt than to do nothing with me." Shen Qinglan said.

Shen Qingyan looked at her with a smile, "My Sisi is really getting more and more sensible. With the help of you and Yan'er in the future, your aunt and I can relax a bit."

"My lord, my lady said that the table is ready." A little girl came in to spread the word.

"Where is Bei?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Miss Hui, it's in the inner hall."

"Yeah, uncle, brother, let's go."

At the banquet, the aunt frequently brought food to Shen Qinglan, "Sisi eat more, she has lost a lot of weight recently."

"No way, Auntie, look at my face is getting round." Shen Qinglan said, pinching the flesh on her face.

"My family, Sisi, looks better if she is fatter. Don't be skinny like she was during the disaster relief. It will scare the eldest aunt." The eldest aunt said.

"Yumei, Sisi said that there is a little girl named Yan'er in her yard who is quite talented as a housekeeper. If you are too busy, let her learn more from you." Uncle said.

"I know that girl Yan'er, she is indeed very appropriate. I have asked her to do a few things, and she does it very neatly. She is a smart and capable girl." The aunt said.

"Yeah, auntie, let her help you share the burden!"

"That's great. There are a lot of things recently, and my aunt is a little worried."

While eating, the auntie thought of Shen Qingshi again, sighed and said, "The exam will be over tomorrow, so I don't know what happened to Ashi."

"Don't worry, my second brother is only five cars rich. When I write an article, it must be smooth and smooth. And your majesty also knows that my second brother came from a merchant family, so I guess he will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs." Shen Qinglan said.

"Yeah, the household department is a fat job! Wherever the second brother goes, he will surely have a prosperous career!" Shen Qingyan said.

The uncle immediately scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, what a fat job!"

Shen Qingyan immediately lowered his head and continued to eat, Shen Qinglan couldn't hide the smile on his face, "That's right, big brother, second brother is an upright official."

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Shen Qinglan said: "Uncle, Zhao Shun... No, King Bin told you about the Xue and Qin families."

"Well, we talked about it last night." The uncle said.

The eldest aunt was puzzled, and she didn't seem to know, so she asked: "Aren't the Xue and Qin families the imperial merchants of the capital? What's the matter?"

"The King of Bin said that Xue and Qin's family had some disturbances recently, and they joined forces with some merchants to deal with our Shen family. The Shen family was new to the capital, and they made friends with your mother's Wang family, auntie, and offended those people. Dissatisfaction." Shen Qinglan explained.

The aunt's face was stained with sadness, and the uncle said: "It's nothing, don't worry too much, we can just be careful."

"Uncle, Sisi came here today to discuss this matter with you, so she specially called her elder brother. I think that being cautious will only make those guys more rampant. Instead, I think our Shen family is easy to bully. Uncle, you But the head of the business family, forbearance and compromise cannot stop their thoughts, and they must fight back in one fell swoop to establish their prestige." Shen Qinglan said.

"Sisi is right, a forbearance is equivalent to sitting and waiting for death."

The eldest aunt has always been a courageous and decisive person, after all, she shook Shen Qinglan's hand.
