Seeing that the time was almost up, Qing Wan smiled and said: "Well done!"
Zhao Jingyan was first stunned, then startled, and finally squeezed her two handsome eyebrows into a ball, and then looked at Qing Wan with a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky, rudely.
Qingguan looked into his eyes, raised her eyebrows innocently, and said, "However, my anger is a bit strong and I need to clear it."
For a moment, Zhao Jingyan even wanted to strangle this woman to death. Yes, he needed to find some women to calm his anger. No wonder he had behaved abnormally the last few times he saw Gu Qingwan.
Zhao Jingyan calmly opened the fan and shook it twice, as if to blow away the turbid air in her heart.
Chunni squinted at King Shou's calm and relaxed look, and her admiration arose spontaneously. I thought that this Shou Wang was quite broad-minded, and he didn't even get angry when the young lady teased him like this. He seemed quite courageous.
Chunni didn't know that the angrier Zhao Jingyan was, the calmer his face became, so calm that people didn't know what he was thinking.
Qingguan naturally knew that he was angry, but he was not afraid and said with a smile: "Chunni, I have replaced the prince with hot tea."
When the hot tea was served, Zhao Jingyan served it without saying a word.
Qingguan didn't go into the house either, just sitting outside.
The two of them had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while. Chunni glanced left and right, and finally got tired of looking and simply lowered her head.
At this moment, A Li left and returned with a basket of account books in one hand.
Qing Guan did not move, only looked at Zhao Jingyan with his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, can I see it?"
Nonsense, I won’t show you what I’m going to do with it? Why didn't I tell you this when I was teasing you in front of me, pretending to be knowledgeable and courteous
There was a lot of resentment in my heart, but I only said "hmm" on my lips.
Qingguan gave Chunni a wink, and Chunni casually took out a few account books, opened them and handed them to the young lady.
Qingguan looked at the account book and saw that he no longer had any other concerns, and his thoughts fell deep.
After seeing one book, he changed it to another. When he changed to the third book, Jiang Hongwen came into the hospital with Qian Fu and Yin Deng.
Qing Guan asked them not to be polite, pointed to the two baskets of account books on the ground, and said: "Yin Deng, take out these accounts for me within half an hour. Chun Ni, you can do it."
Without saying a word, Yin Deng took out the abacus he carried with him and started calculating with a bang. I saw her dialing the abacus with one hand and reading the account book with the other hand, her speed was astonishing.
Chunni, on the other hand, was responsible for writing and delivering the account books. The two of them worked together flawlessly, and it looked like they were used to it.
Qian Fu looked at the people in the room, bowed respectfully to King Shou, and then silently walked behind Qingguan.
Zhao Jingyan and Jiang Hongwen were stunned by the speed at which Yin Deng dialed the abacus. After looking at each other, they were about to speak when they heard Gu Qingguan start talking to Qian Fu in a low voice.
One master and one servant, one question and one answer, the voice is very soft.
At first, they didn't notice anything when they heard it. However, the more they heard it, the more frightened they became, and the more frightened they became, the more they wanted to hear it.
Qingfengtang Last year, the net profit of more than a dozen shops in Guangnan Zhili was one million silver, and 20% was given to the longevity king, which is 200,000 taels a year; if we add Beizhili this year, we will add another Last Wanhua Tower...
Zhao Jingyan's eyebrows beat twice, and she pretended to pick up the tea cup to hide the shock on her face.
Qingguan said at this time: "Now that the account has been cleared, what should be distributed to the prince should be sent to the house at some time."
Qian Fu said seriously: "Miss, don't worry, I will send the old slave along with the account book."
Qingguan asked some more about medicinal materials, and half an hour passed quickly.
Yin Deng set down the last abacus, and after Chun Ni wrote the last number with a brush, a bill with all the income and expenses of the palace was already in Qing Guan's hands.
Qingguan glanced twice, with a sneer on his lips, shook his head slightly, and sent the paper to Zhao Jingyan.
"My lord, let's take a look."
Zhao Jingyan took it and took a look, her face suddenly turned blue. His fortune, the longevity king, in the end turned out to be... unexpectedly...
A sharp blade cut through A Li. A Li shrank his neck and quickly lowered his head.
Jiang Hongwen didn't know what was going on, so he snatched the paper from Zhao Jingyan's hand and looked at it, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
It's strange that this Tinglin is poor every day, every month, every year, but the wealth of Prince Shou's Mansion can't make ends meet. This... this... is too outrageous.
What's more, these accounts are on the official side of the palace, and the hidden expenditures are even greater. How did Tinglin survive these years? Jiang Hongwen raised his eyelids lightly and looked at Tinglin with eyes full of pity.
Gu Qingguan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said slowly, "How much money does the prince want to earn in a year?"
"how do I say this?"
"There are ways to earn one hundred thousand, there are ways to earn half a million, there are ways to earn one million. May I ask, which one do you want to earn?"
Zhao Jingyan was furious.
Why did this sound so uncomfortable? In her eyes, he was just a fool. But this fool also knows how to pick the big one.
He picked up the tea bowl and sneered: "I also want to say, make tens of millions, can you do it?"
"Nature can do it."
"puff!"
Zhao Jingyan took a sip of hot tea and sprayed it all over himself. He, who was always a germaphobe, didn't even look at the clothes. He grabbed Qingguan's hand that was on the table and said sternly: "You... what did you say?"
Gu Qingwan was in pain from being caught by him and said displeasedly: "My lord, please respect yourself!"
"Tinglin, let go!"
Only then did Zhao Jingyan realize that her big hand had caught Miss Sixth's little hand in her palm. She was so surprised that she let go and hurriedly let go, covering up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Miss Sixth, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Jiang Hongwen was curious and wanted to help Zhao Jingyan cover up, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Sixth Miss, how do you make tens of millions?"
Gu Qingguan touched his reddish hand and said with a deep look in his eyes: "I want to take part in this matter. Can the prince agree?"
Zhao Jingyan couldn't care about this at this time. As long as he made money, he would be willing to do it not just for one share, but for ten shares.
"I agree, please tell me."
Gu Qingguan took a deep breath and whispered three words: "Open a bank."
A waxing moon hung on the treetops, pouring soft colors all over the place.
In the yard, a white plum blossom is in full bloom. It is like a jade carving made of ice, exquisite and clear, with a subtle fragrance floating around.
Qingguan stood under the plum blossom, pulled off a piece of plum petal with bare hands, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and it was slightly astringent.
Qian Fu stood behind him and said thoughtfully: "Miss, let's..."
"Fu Bo."
Qingguan quickly interrupted: "I promised to help him make money, and he promised to help me investigate the arson case in Qian Mansion."
Qian Fu's legs went weak and he staggered to the point of falling.
Qingguan heard the movement and hurriedly turned around to support him, whispering: "Uncle Fu, hold on."
Qian Fu had tears in his eyes at this time, "Miss, does Prince Shou really agree to investigate the case for the Qian family?"
Qingguan nodded firmly, "If not, I won't look after his account."
Qian Fu's face was full of tears and he said: "Miss, miss, we... the Qian family... this old slave has been looking forward to this day."
"Uncle Fu, it's still too early. Don't rush. Take your time."
Qian Fu wiped his tears fiercely and said, "As long as the old slave can see the Qian family's injustice redressed in his lifetime, the old slave will die with no regrets."
"Why die? Live well. You haven't enjoyed my blessing yet."
Qingguan said angrily: "Now is not the time to talk about this."
"Old slave, save it."
Qingguan said quickly: "When will Ziang come to Beijing?"
"We must leave after the Lantern Festival. The Qian's Pharmacy in Jinling Prefecture has started to open for business. Song Yu is watching over this area in the south, so don't worry. It's just that there has been no movement from the shop in Jingli. I wonder what the lady's plan is?"
Qingguan said happily: "I plan to only deal with the business of the female family members of high-ranking families in the shop in Jingli, with Zi'ang taking charge of the business."
"What is the purpose of this move by the young lady?" Qingguan chuckled and said: "Wanhualou is for the men of high families, and this shop is for the women of high families. Men are outside, and they control the court and the capital. The movements of the female master are in the inner chamber, which increases our chances of winning.
"
Qian Fu never thought that the young lady had this idea, and sighed: "The young lady is really smart. Leave this matter to me. I have one thing to worry about now."
Qing Guan said lightly: "Uncle Fu is worried about whether King Shou can find out what happened back then."
"Exactly, the old slave looked at him... He is not very naughty, and the house is..."
"Uncle Fu, a naughty prince will not arouse suspicion. If anyone else investigates, they may offend Long Ling."
Qian Fu suddenly realized it and said sincerely: "That's what the lady said."
"We don't need to get involved in the bank matter. We only invest money. If it goes as expected, this longevity king should be able to use a silver lamp to manage the accounts. With the account book in hand, we have nothing to worry about."
Anyway, Qian Fu will do whatever the lady says.
Five years later, he finally found his backbone when the young lady was lying on the bed in the cold wind, her beautiful eyes moved lightly, and she called out "Qian Fu".
Over the years, he has become accustomed to the young lady's precocious wisdom, and has long been used to it.
"Miss, I still have something unclear about this old slave."
"you say."
"Your Majesty, why is the palace so poor that it can't even afford ten thousand taels of silver? If it weren't for the dividends from our Qingfeng Hall and Wanhua Building, Your Majesty..."
Qingguan said quietly: "Uncle Fu, I am talking to you alone. This King of Longevity is by no means simple. These accounts today are just a matter of fact."
Qian Fu seemed to have some realization.
"But what I am sure of is that there is definitely a shortage of money, and it is very scarce."
"What about such a huge expense in the mansion?"
Qingguan's eyes darkened and he chewed: "His expenses are definitely more than that. Come on, there is no need to say more about his affairs. By the way, has the Shi family's Jinyi Workshop ever caught the attention of Suhang Weaving?"
Qian Fu said hurriedly: "I was about to tell the lady about this, but the historian just sent word that the newly appointed Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving inspectors, in order to show justice, did not use people from King Rui or King Xian. Just use Shijia."
Qingguan snorted coldly: "Prince Shou was assassinated twice in Jiangnan. The noise was so loud that the emperor was just staring at it with four eyes open. Self-preservation must be the most important thing at this time."
"However, in addition to the Shi family, there is another family that also took half of the palace." "Oh, who is it?"
