"Uncle, if you can trust me, how about you allow your niece to get through first?" Chunfeng said with a delicate look on her face.
"Oh, are you still so mysterious? Is it really as profitable as you say? But having said that, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not. You are not young anymore. It's time to learn about this business. Otherwise, as the mother of a family in the future, It’s not enough if you don’t know how to calculate and manage. Let’s just give it a try.”
He Renyu didn't have particularly high hopes for Chunfeng's plan. After all, it was just a backyard for his daughter, and he grew up in a rural place like that.
This is not his discrimination against country people, but there is a big difference between country women in this era and women from wealthy families in the capital who have received many higher educations.
"Hey, thank you very much, uncle. This time, please give me one thousand five hundred taels of silver. My niece will definitely give her a big surprise."
Originally, it was inappropriate for He Renyu to say that this woman would be the future mistress of the house. It should be a matter between Chunfeng's parents, but He Renyu said it, and Chunfeng didn't think there was anything wrong.
On the contrary, I feel very warm and loving, just like what a loving father said to his daughter. This makes the spring breeze that has almost never been felt by a father feel even warmer.
I was determined to complete this business and let my uncle get rewards.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your surprise. You can go to the account room to withdraw the money at any time. I will say hello in advance."
He Renyu felt more and more that his sister's little daughter was an eccentric person, what kind of surprise could she give him, the little girl's character.
"Well, uncle, you are busy first, and I will make you some delicious food later!" Chunfeng received a positive reply and was very happy.
At the same time, in order to thank his uncle for his trust and love, Chunfeng decided to make some delicious food to repay his uncle, and also let him see his potential.
He Renyu smiled and watched Chunfeng jumping out of the study. He was in a good mood and turned around to continue doing his own thing.
After a while, footsteps came again, and when you heard the light footsteps, you knew it was a woman.
"Why are you back again? Why do you want uncle to help you?" He Renyu lowered his head and was writing something, speaking in a brisk tone.
Seeing her father in such a good mood, He Pingting clenched her fingers slightly.
What's so good about that cheap girl from the country? My grandmother favored her so much, and now even my father does the same.
She felt dissatisfied and angry, why? She is the granddaughter of the Duke Protector's Mansion, and Duan Chunfeng is just a relative.
She is still a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. Why should she be on an equal footing with herself, compete with her for favor, and take away the favor of so many people.
He Pingting was so angry with the thoughts in her mind that her face was distorted. She collected her emotions and stared at her father with a resentful expression.
He Renyu, who had his head bowed at his desk, saw that the visitor did not respond for a long time, and then slowly raised his head.
"It turns out to be Pingting, why didn't she say anything when she came? Oh, you're still pouting? Who bullied my precious daughter?"
When He Renyu saw that the visitor was his daughter, he put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to the case, and gently scratched his daughter's nose with his hand.
The movements are full of love for her daughter, even a little doting.
"Father, do you still remember that I am your precious daughter? I thought you had forgotten about me as your daughter!"
He Pingting said with a taste of purpose.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? When will father forget his daughter?" He Renyu shook his head in disapproval.
"You said no, look, you just thought I was someone else." He Pingting started acting coquettishly.
In this family, she has been the apple of the eye from the bottom up. In front of outsiders, she is a gentle and kind-hearted eldest lady of the palace. In front of the servants, she is a majestic master. But in front of her parents and the old lady, she will always be the coquettish girl who can act coquettishly. .
This is why for so many years, she has been the most lovable and outstanding one, not only because she is a legitimate daughter, but also because she can act coquettishly and knows how to please people.
"Didn't Chunfeng just come to me to do something? I thought she was back again, how could I know it would be you." He Renyu sat at the table on one side, took a sip of the tea he had brewed before.
"Father, it's already spring. What if my daughter wants to hold a flower viewing party at home?" He Pingting no longer dwelled on the previous topic, but put forward her own idea.
Although things like flower viewing parties are a matter for the female relatives of the family, it is inevitable that many of these powerful people use this method to build relationships and gain connections.
Therefore, most female relatives will first ask the head of their family before holding such an event.
Now the old man in the Duke's Mansion is no longer busy. He is either obsessed with practicing martial arts or enjoying family happiness with his grandchildren all day long.
Therefore, these things must be approved by He Renyu first.
"This... Pingting, you also know that in recent years, your grandmother has been seriously ill and the house has consumed a huge amount of money. In addition, the business of the shops in the house has become increasingly sluggish in recent years, so we can only I can barely maintain the expenses of the house, so you see..."
He Renyu looked at his daughter with some embarrassment.
A flower party would cost at least several thousand taels of silver, which would be enough to cover the house's expenses for several months.
As far as the current situation of the Duke's Palace is concerned, it's better not to do anything about it. What He Renyu didn't say is that the current status of the Duke's Palace in the capital is already very high. Leaving aside those princes and the like, it can be said that he is a very popular minister.
And at this time, when King Changping is moving, it is really unwise to hold such an event. It would be dangerous if someone with ulterior motives catches him and accuses him of forming a clique for personal gain.
So I can only wrong my daughter!
"Father, is our family already in such a tight situation now?" He Pingting asked in disbelief.
How could a Duke's palace in Nuo University not even have a few thousand taels of silver? No one would believe this if I told it.
In fact, He Renyu was telling the truth. Who made their government incorruptible
There is no bribery or personal gain. The government's financial resources are supported by the salary of the shop below, Zhuangzi, as well as the old Guo Gong and He Renyu.
In the early days, the old lady was good at business and management, and the income from the underlying properties was very considerable. However, since the old lady fell ill, the current eldest lady is not very good at management, and the income from the underlying properties has become less and less. .
In addition, I promised to give Chunfeng 1,500 taels of silver, so how could I still have too much money to hold a flower party
"Well, the profits of the shop down there are getting worse and worse, so..." He Renyu responded with some gloom.
