Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 39 Condensation Skills

After coming back for such a long time, she had secretly checked the pulse for Aunt Sister, and now the prescriptions for conditioning the body have been prescribed, and it is only a matter of time before they can be delivered to Aunt Sister.

In Fulanxuan's study room, Mu Xici raised his hand tiredly to press the center of his eyebrows.According to her original plan, she wanted to open a restaurant in Jingzhongfang City, doing business in the open, and a Taoist hexagram shop in the dark. After her reputation as a "taoist of delusion" came into play, she would find another opportunity to sell Sister Flick in the past and go through a scene.

The problem now is that she has prepared the money, but she is short of a stable and reliable shopkeeper who can accept her secret skills, and she also lacks a buddy who can check the books from time to time instead of her.

It's better to bring someone who knows some superficial mysteries, so that it's convenient and easy to help her screen the guests, and it can also prevent interested people from coming to seek trouble for no reason.

Of course, these people know the basics, and they must not accept people with unknown origins——

Mu Xici pondered, in fact, Zhan Mingxuan was very stable and honest, but he was the bodyguard of her Xuanzhong right now, so it was not suitable for him to manage these things outside for a long time, her skills had not yet fully recovered, and she couldn't do without his help at her side for the time being.

This is a bit of a hassle.

Master Mu frowned, and was thinking about whether to go to Guanya again, looking for two servants who were clean and smarter to come back, but heard a girl's laughter in her ears, and she subconsciously followed Sheng Sheng looked up, and saw Lingqin holding a brush and wrinkling her small face.

"You two, what are you playing there?" Mu Xici raised her eyebrows, since the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family moved into Fulanxuan, the task of teaching Lingqin and calligraphy fell on Zhan Ninglu's shoulders, and the girl started talking Lively and easy to understand than her, Lingqin learned it happily.

"Miss, I'm teaching elder sister Lingqin to count! She hit the wrong beads just now, and I scratched her palm as a punishment." Zhan Ninglu laughed. Although she is now a slave, she came from the Jingyang uncle's mansion after all. Miss, let her call "servant" or "servant" like Lingqin and others, she really can't remember, Mu Xici also sounds awkward, so she simply let her still call "I".

Lingqin had no objection to this, Zhan Ninglu was straightforward and didn't make too many excuses, and they got along very happily.

"Miss, don't listen to the girl's nonsense, the servant girl made the right call! It is obvious that she is playing tricks and insisting on making trouble." Lingqin rubbed her round eyes that were crying from laughter (scratched), and pointed at the abacus and it. The booklet pressed below cried out, "If you don't believe me, take a look, the maid is really right."

abacus.

"Let me see." Mu Xici raised her eyebrows. She remembered that Zhan Ninglu had only taught Lingqin basic arithmetic two days ago, and she had advanced to abacus so quickly?
"Here, take a look at this article, 'In April 18 in Changle, shopkeeper Li's teahouse had a net profit of 40 taels of silver this month, and the purchase of new tea utensils cost a total of 15 taels of silver. How much is the remaining money'." Lingqin said Her face was swollen, "40 taels minus 15 taels is obviously 24 taels of silver, but the girl just said it was wrong!"

It turned out to be an account book.

Mu Xici looked at the hand-made math account book with beautiful handwriting, a gleam of light flickered in his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It's really not right."

"what?"

"Lingqin, you forgot to count the tax." According to the Qianping tax law, a businessman's monthly net profit exceeds ten taels of silver, and he has to pay tax. The tax rate is roughly thirty and one tax, but...

"Ah, I really forgot." Lingqin tapped her head in annoyance, held the abacus in her arms and typed twice, "For 40 taels of silver, there is a tax of one, two or three, so the remaining money for shopkeeper Li is 22, two or nine." .22 Two or nine dollars, Miss, is this right?"

"That's not right." Mu Xici shook his head, then turned to look at Zhan Ninglu, "Ninglu, what do you think?"

"Hey, that's not right." Zhan Ning showed a playful smile, and put her arms around Lingqin's neck, "Changle's 18 spring was very rainy, and the production of spring tea dropped sharply. The teahouse merchants wanted to drive up the price of tea in order to make it high. Ten times as many as in previous years."

"In order to stabilize the situation, His Majesty exempted the agricultural tax on tea products that year, and raised the commercial tax to [-]% of the tax. It was not until the tea price stabilized after July that the previous tax was restored." Zhan Ninglu said clearly .

"The shopkeeper Li opened a teahouse but not a tea farm. He didn't have a tea garden in his hands, so he was supposed to pay commercial taxes, so the tax was two taels of silver, not one tael or three. In the end, the rest in his hand was only 22 taels. Money." Zhan Ning rolled her eyes, "Miss, do you think I'm right?"

"That's right, that's correct." Mu Xici nodded, and the smile in his eyes became even bigger, "It's just Ninglu, how come you are so familiar with the accounts?"

In her previous life, Zhan Ninglu left too early, she knew little about this girl's life and preferences, and almost missed an available talent.

"Hi, what's this?" Zhan Ninglu stood up straight, and rubbed her fingers blushingly, "Miss, I didn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and I prefer mathematics and martial arts. I have been in charge of two small shops, but unfortunately my family is strict with me, seeing that I am addicted, so I will not let me continue to intervene."

"As for now... well, I don't want to mention it, it's all old things." Zhan Ninglu waved her hand, and silently turned a new page for Lingqin, while Mu Xici keenly grasped the moment when she lowered her eyebrows. A fleeting line of loneliness.

Thinking about it, it is true that when Uncle Jingyang’s mansion was still in existence, she was a daughter-in-law of the mansion. Occasionally, it would be harmless to look at the shop for two days like a business woman and the stewards. Ugly gossip.

Later, the uncle's house ransacked the house, her family was ruined, and she suddenly fell from a daughter to slavery, and it was even more impossible to have the opportunity to display her ambitions.

Only she knows what it feels like.

"Ninglu." Mu Xici sighed, and reached out to pat the top of the little girl's hair. The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was half a head taller than her, so she had to tiptoe, "If, I mean if."

"If I'm going to open a restaurant, would you help me take care of it?"

"Miss, do you want to open a restaurant?" Zhan Ninglu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, as if she had received a dose of chicken blood in an instant, Mu Xici was scared by her like this and took half a step back: "Probably."

"I've saved a lot of self in these years, and it's useless to keep it around, so I might as well do something." Master Mu twitched the corners of his lips, "After all, it's my second aunt who's taking care of me temporarily, even if I don't think about myself, Always leave a way for Sister and the others."

Xiao Shuhua can't wait to move all the treasures of the Duke's Mansion to Chaohuaju. When my sister gets married in the future, how can she prepare a decent dowry?
She wanted to open a restaurant, partly to set up a big net secretly, and partly because she really wanted to save more silver taels for emergencies.

"Well, I've heard about the second lady, and it's really not a good thing." Zhan Ninglu nodded thoughtfully.

"So, look..." Mu Xici swallowed.

Zhan Ninglu tilted her head and stared at her for a moment, which made the latter's back straighten up, and she almost wanted to run away.

"Hey..." The little girl gritted her teeth suddenly, Master Mu's expression froze, and she was about to oil the soles of her feet when she was suddenly picked up by someone, "Of course I would! Miss, you are so cute!"

No, wait a minute, is she this old?
And why can everyone hug her! !

Mu Xici was tired.

　Because you are short, my baby, Aci
　　Hahahahahahahahahaha
