Chapter 13 Want to make money

Qi Hongmao took a deep breath, "Fifth Lady, I see that your face is pale. I think it's because your body hasn't recovered yet. Since you want to come to the martial arts arena, why don't you come later when you are well? Otherwise, you won't be able to stand my practice." .”

Qi Hongmao stretched out his hand, pointed at the biggest man among the gentlemen, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "For a person like him, after being drilled by me on the first day, he almost couldn't get up on the second day."

In the deep and mellow voice, there was a kind of ruthlessness.

Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyebrows, wanting her to quit?

It's a pity that I made a wrong calculation. Since I am planning a big event, how can I not have a good body?If that time really comes, he can run faster than others when fleeing.

Well, she decided that not only herself should keep fit, but also the maids in her yard should exercise.

"Only by suffering and suffering can you live a long life. Wu Niang would like to thank the head coach for letting me know. In this case, after a few days, Wu Niang will come to the martial arts field to find you."

Jiang Yuanxi acted as if he couldn't understand Qi Hongmao's implication, instead he hit the snake with the stick and fixed Qi Hongmao with one bite.

If you want to learn, you have to learn from the best people, she has always been like this.

Qi Hongmao felt quite helpless, this little lady was very stubborn and big-minded, compared with other young ladies in the mansion, she seemed to be more like a gentleman.

Qi Hongmao decided to go find the old man at night, believing that the old man is reluctant to bear the hardships of the fifth lady, so he can throw away this hot potato.

Jiang Yuanxi blessed Qi Hongmao, turned around and left with Ah Chun.

Jiang Yuanxi returned to the East Mansion, reported to Zheng Youniang, and took Afang and the guards out to see the shop he had just bought.

"Fifth Niang, we're here."

Afang waited for Jiang Yuanxi to get off the carriage. Jiang Yuanxi raised his head and saw the three big characters of "Longmeizhai".

This is a shop located in Dongcheng, with five rooms, a backyard, and a two-story pavilion.

This kind of shop can be ranked among the top ten in Zheng Youniang's dowry, and Zheng Youniang's generosity shows her love for Jiang Yuanxi.

Before Jiang Yuanxi entered the shop, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the shop, hurried to Jiang Yuanxi with a few young men, and bowed to salute, "A certain Zheng Penghai has seen the young lady."

Jiang Yuanxi nodded slightly, "Guard Zheng, let's go in and talk."

Jiang Yuanxi was welcomed into the pavilion on the second floor, and Zheng Penghai personally received him. Jiang Yuanxi asked, "Guard Zheng, did Auntie send someone to tell you?"

Zheng Penghai bowed and replied: "The owner has already ordered that this shop will be taken over by the young lady now. Young lady, this is the account book I packed up yesterday."

Zheng Penghai personally picked up a wooden box, took out the key to open it, and showed it to Jiang Yuanxi.

Jiang Yuanxi first took out an account book on the front page and flipped through it page by page. She closed the account book in less than a cup of tea.

"Guard Zheng, Longmeizhai is in Dongcheng, so the profit from this month to today is only 510 taels of silver?"

What she said lightly made Zheng Penghai's eyes widen.

Zheng Penghai, as the steward, has to settle the transactions of the day every day, so he can know how much he has made from this month to today, but he has not written the total amount in his account book, after all, it has not yet reached the end of the month.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Yuanxi just flipped through the ledger page by page without even making any calculations, and closed the ledger to calculate the interest.

Zheng Penghai knew right away that this was the little lady showing off her tricks, trying to tell him not to think that she could play tricks just because she was young.

Zheng Penghai didn't feel angry, but he was relieved that the young lady of the host's family was indeed as smart as the host's, and what was even more powerful than the host's was that she didn't even need an abacus, she could calculate the number in her head.

Zheng Penghai thought so, and explained respectfully: "Little lady, Longmeizhai can make a profit of more than 3000 taels a month when the business is good, and a profit of more than 1000 taels a month when the business is not good." , about 2 taels of silver a year!"

There was a kind of pride in Zheng Penghai's voice, he couldn't let the little lady think he was incompetent, maybe this shop would be the little lady's dowry in the future, and he had to prove his ability in front of the little lady.

A shop can earn 2 taels of silver a year. Among the owner's dowry shop, his ability to make money can rank among the top five.

Jiang Yuanxi had already started to look down at the previous years' ledgers at this time, and when she turned through ten ledgers, she let out a long breath.

She knew what Zheng Penghai said was true. Longmeizhai's business was the busiest in summer and winter.

There is a lot of dowry under A Niang's name. If Longmeizhai can earn 2 taels of silver a year, and other shops are not much different, A Niang's annual dowry income may not be less than 10 taels.

What kind of concept is 10 taels?
Jiang Yuanxi quickly calculated in his mind, and soon came to the conclusion that if the 10 taels of silver were spread in one layer, it could cover the entire floor of her upper room.

You must know that her upper house has seven rooms.

And her mother's dowry income over the years will not be kept at the bottom of the box - the money is kept under the box, and it will never be enough to buy new properties to make more money.

A Niang's property should have increased a lot in these years. After all, A Niang has three biological sons and her daughter. Whether it is for the brothers to hire a bride in the future, or for her to marry, it will cost a lot of money.

She reckoned that Auntie's silver at the bottom of the box should only be 20 taels.

20 taels may seem like a lot, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the great cause of the Jiang family.

What's more, neither her grandfather nor father would use the dowry of a daughter-in-law.

The reason why she asked A Niang to give her a shop to practice was because she wanted to have the right to speak in front of her grandfather after she made achievements.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanxi cheered up, and began to ask about the business of Longmeizhai.

"Little lady, most of what we do in our shop is silk business. Every month, new patterns will be released and sent to various houses. What patterns do the young lady in the house like? Deliver it to your door.

There are embroiderers specially raised in the shop. If the little girls like the craftsmanship of the embroiderers in our shop, we will also tailor dresses specially for them. "

Zheng Penghai's explanation made Jiang Yuanxi scratch his head.

It sounded simple, but she was instantly full of confidence.

"Guard Zheng, take me to see what's in the shop."

"promise."

After Jiang Yuanxi finished looking at the silk on the shelf, walked around the shop several times, and even sat on the attic on the second floor for an hour, she thought about it, and finally returned to Dongfu with a box of ledgers.

She has to think about how to earn more money.
