Just as Shu Huan typed out the drafts of the vanilla map with charcoal sticks, she was stretching for a rest when she saw Meimei come back with a smile on her face. She couldn't help shrinking back in the chair, found a more comfortable position to lean on, and asked lazily: " The matter is settled? How many people are left there?"
Meimei laughed muffled when she heard her question, "I left them all."
"Huh?" Shu Huan knew that Zhang Hanfang wouldn't like those old mothers, and it would be reasonable if she didn't keep any of them, but it was surprising to keep them all. She smiled and looked over: "Shouldn't Could it be that you messed up something in it?"
Meimei stuck out her tongue slightly and said, "Second Mistress thinks too highly of me, I don't have that ability. But I just realized that those old mothers are so powerful, so I don't dare to offend them in the future, or I will be scolded, and I won't be able to do that." When they are praising me"
As she spoke, she recalled the situation just now, and laughed again with a "puchi": "They seem to have negotiated, one in Kuazhang was beautiful and gentle when she was young, and the other was talking about her. The Eighteen Changes of the Women's University, and now everyone can't recognize it... "
"Pfft—" Shu Huan couldn't hold back either, and burst out laughing, "Isn't this just scolding her in disguise?"
"That's not it." Meimei covered her mouth and smiled: "The scolding is really vicious, but Miss Zhang hasn't heard it yet, but her nanny is a sensible person, and her face turned dark, but I think she was annoyed by the beating yesterday. Besides, how can she speak up for those old mothers who confuse black and white? Maybe Miss Zhang will be instigated by the old mothers to complain about her? The four old mothers were released, and they were forced to withdraw money to reward them."
Speaking of which, Meijing Tan took out a tael of silver from his sleeve pocket, spread it in his palm and handed it to Shu Huan, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Zhang's family is rich, and they use silver to reward people. This is Miss Zhang's reward." Mine, I have nowhere to put it, so I beg Second Mistress to put it away for me first."
Shu Huan knew the rules of the Gu family, and was afraid of having something private, so the suitcases and jewelry boxes of the maids were not allowed to be locked, so he didn't shirk it, and took it over and said: "Since you trust me, then I will take care of it for you first." Keep it and see how much dowry you can save when you get married later."
One sentence made Jingmei blushed, and complained: "Second Grandma likes to make fun of people."
Shu Huan took another empty box with a lock, put the silver in it, and said with a smile: "You are obviously telling the truth, why are you making fun of you? Don't say that you are saving money, it's not for preparing a dowry."
"Hey..." Jingmei stomped her feet and turned to go out to hide her shame, but Shu Huan called out: "I'm not free these days, when I have time later, I'll teach you how to keep accounts, so how much money you have saved with me, you can save it by yourself." It’s good to have a count in my heart.”
Jingjing was stunned, and became more and more angry, Buyi said: "What is Second Mistress talking about, am I still afraid that you are greedy for my little money?"
Shu Huan's heart warmed up, and he suppressed the emotion in his stomach and smiled: "Speaking seriously, don't try to mislead me. I will let you practice keeping accounts. We will meet later, so you can help me."
To put it more bluntly, she wanted to be lazy and free up time to do what she liked, instead of dealing with such trivial matters as stewards, people, and money all day long.
The master and the servant were talking here, when Huiyun came over and reported back: "Second Grandma, Ranmo is here."
Shu Huan was overjoyed: "Let him come in and talk."
Ran Mo quickly lifted the curtain and came in, greeted Shu Huan first, handed over a plain embroidered money bag before asking, and said with a smile, "Second Grandma came to ask me about the business?"
Shu Huan nodded, took the money bag, her hand sank, she pulled the string of the money bag and looked inside, and saw that the money inside was not silver, but gold, and her heart skipped a beat.
She knew that agarwood was valuable, but those two gadgets would definitely not sell for so much money, so she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy, she frowned slightly, and cast doubtful eyes on Mo Ran.
Seeing them talking about something, Meimei hurriedly avoided going out obediently.
Ran Mo then explained: "Second Mistress, don't be surprised, the money here is also the Second Master's share, not just from selling your things."
Gu Xiran
What does it matter to him
Shu Huan became more and more puzzled.
Ran Mo hurriedly laughed and said: "You know that Qinan is valuable. If it is a good one, a piece of it is worth tens of thousands of dollars in the market. Therefore, the small one you carved of Qinan red carp sold you for thirty-five taels of silver, but the stack The price of incense is limited, and the buyer likes the exquisite carving of the lotus fan pendant, so he paid a price of ten taels of silver, and those painting stones that were taken away, totaled fifty taels of silver."
Shu Huan urged: "Then what about your second master's share?"
"Second master..." Ran Mo scratched his head and said, "He asked the little one to sell the flowers and plants planted in the other courtyard to the flower and tea shop, but you know, these things have to be picked and dried before being shipped out. It may take a lot of manpower. You and the second master went up the mountain again in those few days. The younger one had no place to ask for advice, so he had to make his own way and brought two shopkeepers from the big shops in the city. They were very straightforward and said If you sell them all the flowers and plants produced in the other courtyard this year, you will pay them a price of one hundred and fifty taels of silver. They will also send people to do the picking and other things. Boldly signed a contract for sale with them in the name of the second master."
One hundred and fifty taels of silver
Gu Xiran is really good at writing
Shu Huan was startled when he heard this, and couldn't tell if he should admire his business vision, or despise him for opportunistic.
It took her a lot of work to carve and paint those things. It was because the price of agarwood was high that it sold for fifty taels of silver, but Gu Xiran didn't bother at all, and even made three times more money than her
This dyed ink continued to say: "The shopkeepers in those shops know the background of our Gu family, and they paid the money first if we were not afraid that we would deceive them. Shop, find the tent to exchange the silver into gold, and there are twenty taels of gold in the purse, do you want Second Mistress to call it with a coin?"
Only then did Shu Huan regain his senses, shook his head and said: "No, it's just that you have worked hard this trip, and I don't have anything good to thank you for, so I have to reward you with money. Don't dislike it."
She said with a smile. Fortunately, she had been careful two days ago, and found a pair of scissors, and cut the monthly money of ten taels of silver into scattered silver, in preparation for unexpected flowers. At this moment, she opened the box. It's convenient to take out a piece of silver weighing about three taels and give it to dye ink.
Ran Mo still didn't dare to accept it, she lowered her head and said, "Running errands for Second Master and Second Mistress is a small job, and should not be rewarded."
Shu Huan said with a smile: "It's your job to run errands for Xiaosi. If you really don't accept it, I just think you don't like it, and I'm embarrassed to order you in the future."
Only then did Ran Mo thank you for accepting it, and said with a smile: "Second Mistress, just order me around and run errands for you, and Fourth Master doesn't talk about me, or just say that I'm idle and mischievous all day long, and hate me so much."
Shu Huan laughed when he heard this, but Gu Xihe still has the face to think others are naughty? Of the entire Gu family, he is the most pleasing one.
