My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 498: Must be controlled

Mother Wang was stunned by her ability to cause trouble with her mouth.

Now everyone in the mansion knows that the Seventh Miss listens to Madam's words and shouts everywhere that they are the best in the world.

With a plop, Mother Wang knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Seventh Miss, this old slave didn't say anything."

"You are talking nonsense. I just heard you talking about my third sister-in-law."

Gu Baozhu was very angry.

Mother Wang was sweating profusely as she explained hurriedly.

"Ah?! I just said I didn't expect that Madam, a lady from a wealthy family, could actually understand the account books. I really didn't say anything else."

Gu Baozhu said "Oh".

Mother Wang thought that this was over, and secretly thanked her luck. Then she heard Gu Baozhu curiously ask: "I was just asking casually, why are you so scared?"

Mother Wang: “…”

When he glanced over, he saw his daughter shaking her head behind Gu Baozhu.

He hurriedly said, "Old slave, I am just afraid that Miss Seven will dislike me for mentioning the master behind her back."

Servants in the mansion are not allowed to gossip about their masters behind their backs, and they will be punished if caught.

But over the years, I haven't taken it too seriously.

Sure enough, Gu Baozhu raised her hand and said, "Get up. You don't have to be so nervous when you see me. You might think I did something to you. You guys ruined my reputation."

Mother Wang quickly stood up and stepped aside.

Only when he saw Gu Baozhu take two steps did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Gu Baozhu stopped again, turned around and asked, "By the way, why did you say that? What's the matter?"

Mother Wang shuddered.

He hurriedly rushed to tell the story of Qin Yuan's examination of the accountant.

She was afraid that it was too late and someone with ulterior motives would tell about her bet with Hongmian.

Gu Baozhu looked up at the sky and sighed, "My third sister-in-law is amazing. Not only is she beautiful, but she can also make perfumes, do accounting, manage the household, and write poems... My God, how did she give birth to this?"

Everyone said, "Yes, if there is one thing, it will be a big deal."

A mother next to her smacked her lips and said, "Madam is good at doing business. I heard that Madam is planning to buy pepper. Before, the price of pepper went up, and many people followed the Xu family to pay their share, but Madam never bought any. Now that the price of pepper has dropped so much, those who bought it before have almost lost half of their money, so Madam is planning to buy it now."

Gu Baozhu's eyes lit up and she said, "Then I'll follow my third sister-in-law to do business."

Isn't it always necessary for her to emulate the good people?

She may not be able to learn other things, but she can do business and invest money.

Gu Baozhu turned back excitedly and ran away as if she was on a hot wheel.

Mother Wang's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally fell back into her chest.

I thought to myself, "I must control my mouth from now on. I just opened my mouth carelessly and lost two months' salary. I almost got into trouble with Miss Seven, the little bully. The ancients said that illness comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. It's really true."

After Qin Yuan finished dealing with the affairs, she returned to Wutong Garden and asked someone to inquire when the Marquis would be back so that they could go to the upper room to have dinner with the old lady.

She was sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, resting, when she heard a noise outside.

Then Gu Baozhu's voice came in.

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."

Qin Yuan asked curiously, "Why is the pearl here again?"

Logically speaking, after being trained by the Marquis this morning, you shouldn't be able to rest for a day with a grin on your face.

Just as Hongye was about to go out to take a look, Gu Baozhu came in like a gust of wind, holding a black lacquered enamel-rimmed box in her hands. Qin Yuan asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Gu Baozhu put the box on the table and said, "Third sister-in-law, all my private money is here. If you want to do business, count me in."

Qin Yuan was both curious and amused.

"How much private money do you have?"

"I do not know either."

Hongye was shocked.

The young ladies who are spoiled in this marquis's mansion are different. When they were in the Qin Mansion, they had already calculated how to spend their money before the monthly salary came down.

Qin Yuan has a small notebook in which every expense and expenditure is recorded clearly.

Qin Yuan said: "Why are you still doing business? You don't even know how much capital you have."

Gu Baozhu said awkwardly: "Then I will count."

Qin Yuan was even more amused: "You went to your sister-in-law's room to count your dowry. Gu Baozhu, you should be more careful. When you get married in the future, will you be able to keep your dowry?"

Gu Baozhu stamped her feet, opened the curtain and hurried out.

Hongye asked: "What happened again?"

Then Gu Baozhu's voice came from outside: "Go back, take them all back."

Hongye said, "Dear, there is more to come."

She thought that this box contained everything.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Baozhu ran back and said, "Third sister-in-law, the first step in doing business is to calculate the cost, right?"

Qin Yuan nodded and said seriously, "Gu Baozhu, after you get married, the mansion will definitely give you a good dowry. Your daily food, clothing and expenses in your husband's house are all paid for by the government, and it won't cost much if you occasionally add some by yourself. If something happens... as long as you live within your means, you don't have to worry about having no money to spend in this life. But if you start a business, it's not certain. Losing money is a common thing, and it's possible that your capital will be wasted. This is a serious matter and can't be sloppy. You can't even calculate your capital, so don't learn it, otherwise even if the mansion gives you a mountain of gold, it won't be enough for you to spend."

Gu Baozhu said with a bitter face: "Third sister-in-law, I know you are capable. Why don't you do business with me? I know how to do business, and I know how to look at people and curry favor with them. Isn't this possible?"

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"You know that brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If you can't take care of your own things, I won't take you into business. Otherwise, you will become cunning and bold, and your hands and feet will be careless, and you will become a money-spending boy, and your money will go away like water."

Gu Baozhu nodded.

"So Third Sister-in-law is teaching me to keep my own money safe and account for it clearly, right? Actually, all my things are recorded, but I usually give them to a few maids who rarely ask about them."

Qin Yuan chuckled.

Gu Baozhu is relying on her, but you have to admit, she is quite clever.

"Okay, learn to sort out your own accounts first, then come to me."

Gu Baozhu laughed, then left with the box in her arms.

“It really comes and goes like the wind.”

Hongye couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Yuan didn't say anything.

Cui Ming said, "Miss Seven is quick to act. She might forget about it after a few days. If she really cared about you, she would have checked the list and come to look for you."

Qin Yuan said: "It's good to let her know what's going on."

Next, Qin Yuan asked Cui Ming to take out the new undershirt she had made for Lord Gu. She made the embroidery frame, drew the pattern, and embroidered a few stitches herself.

Cui Ming asked curiously, "Aren't you going to let me embroider it?"

Qin Yuan smiled and glanced at Cui Ming.

Cui Ming came back to her senses and chuckled.
