Chapter 10 Profits
The old lady closed her eyes slightly, breathing evenly, as if she was in a trance.There was no reaction to Jiang's words.

"Why is the concubine in a hurry to leave? Although the gift list has been handed in, the handover of the shops in the dowry has not yet been completed." He Lanyue sat beside the old lady, her calm and breezy tone made people feel helpless. Ignore the content of that statement.

Jiang's body froze, and then immediately returned to normal. She smiled slightly at He Lanyue, but a deep disdain flashed in her eyes, "It's my mother's negligence, and my mother ordered those shopkeepers to come in." Since she dared to Standing here, you are already fully confident, how can you be afraid of a little girl's inspection?Not only are there no problems with those shopkeepers, but even the account books have no clues.

At this time, the brazier was brought up and placed beside He Lanyue.

He Lanyue moved her body slightly so that the brazier could not reach her.In fact, she didn't come to the sunflower water, so the brazier was naturally not for her own use.

"Concubine, please respect yourself. Yue'er has only one mother." He Lanyue's tone suddenly dropped a few degrees, and even the flame in the brazier seemed to be a little smaller.

Jiang's greatest wish all along is to support herself as the main wife, let He Lanning become the first daughter of Zuo Xiang's mansion, marry a good family, and then the mother will be honored by the daughter.Therefore, he is particularly sensitive to the word 'concubine'.Now, He Lanyue made it so clear again and again that Mrs. Jiang really wanted to get angry, but because the old lady and the master were present, if she didn't get angry, she couldn't bear it.For a moment, his complexion was like a chameleon, 'unpredictable', which is truly wonderful.

After taking a few deep breaths, Mrs. Jiang suppressed the anger in her heart, and let in the four shopkeepers waiting outside the door.

Thinking of the huge wealth brought to her by these four shops, Jiang's mood immediately improved, and she sneered secretly in her heart, so what if she got her dowry back!Not just a bunch of useless shells!

"Yue'er, these four are the shopkeepers of the four shops your mother left behind." The smile on Jiang's face returned to normal, and she introduced them to He Lanyue one by one: "The one in blue is the drunk fairy restaurant. The one in gray is Treasurer Xu from Blacksmith Shop of Xuantie Pavilion, the one in white is Treasurer Luo from Changsheng Rice Shop, and the one in Tsing Yi is Treasurer Jiang from Jianbaozhai Antique Shop."

Qing Cui's eyes swept over the four shopkeepers one by one, He Lanyue nodded, but did not speak.

After Jiang's introduction, she turned her back to He Lanyue, and winked at the four shopkeepers, "Bring all the account books of the four shopkeepers, and present them to the young miss for a while. From now on, she will be Your boss."

The four shopkeepers understood and walked together to stand in front of He Lanyue.The brazier with jumping flames was just in the middle, and neither side could be roasted.

"Miss, please take a look." The four shopkeepers all took out their ledgers and said in unison.

"No hurry." He Lanyue glanced at the positions where the few people were standing, and said slowly, "You all step forward, so that Miss Ben can see clearly."

Can't see clearly if it's less than a foot away?The four shopkeepers muttered to themselves, but they took a step forward without stopping at all.As soon as he stood still, he could faintly feel the heat from the brazier.

Seeing this, He Lanyue smiled imperceptibly, and asked, "How many years have each of you been shopkeepers?"

"Back to Miss, I have been a villain for four years." Shopkeeper Lang of Zuixian Restaurant took the lead.

"The villain has been working for three years." Shopkeeper Xu said.

"The villain has also been in business for three years." Shopkeeper Luo said.

"The villain has been here for five years," Shopkeeper Jiang said.

"In this way, you are all trustworthy people, and you will not do anything to be sorry for the shop." He Lanyue said casually, "However, this lady and you are villains first and then gentlemen. Can the shopkeepers Swear by what it says?"

With that said, He Lanyue took out a note.Xiaodie immediately took it and handed it to the four shopkeepers.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled slightly after watching it, but it was just an oath.They have been working hard outside for many years, and they have already forgotten about oaths and the like.The so-called profiteers and profiteers are neither profiteers nor businessmen.How can you care about unwarranted vows.

Seeing it from the side, Jiang sneered, He Lanyue was still too immature, a businessman was after profit, so how could he care about such an oath.

He Lanwei has been paying attention to He Lanyue's actions, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes from time to time, as if seeing He Lanyue for the first time.

The old lady seemed to be in a trance, her eyes were still slightly closed, and she didn't say a word.

Sweeping her eyes, He Lanyue took everyone's expressions into her eyes, slightly curled the corners of her mouth, smiled calmly, and signaled to the four shopkeepers that they could begin their oath.

The four shopkeepers put on a solemn look, and said in unison: "The four of us swear here that since the day we became shopkeepers, we have never done anything harmful to the interests of the shop. If there is a lie, the back will get hot first. If you still know your mistakes and don't correct them, you will be hit by five thunders!"

After hearing the oaths made by several shopkeepers, Jiang almost laughed out loud, the ridicule and disdain in her eyes was not concealed.Back fever?Can this be regarded as punishment for breaking the oath?
"Okay," He Lanyue got up slowly, and walked past the four shopkeepers one by one, then sat down next to the old lady, looked at the shopkeeper closest to the brazier and said, "Now tell me The profit of the shop starts with shopkeeper Xu."

Seeing He Lanyue's strange behavior, Jiang wanted to ridicule her, but for some reason she had an ominous premonition.

"Yes, miss." Shopkeeper Xu bowed, with a respectful expression, but he couldn't see it, "The blacksmith shop of Xuantie Pavilion earned a total of 580 taels of silver last year..."

"Only earned more than 500 taels?" He Lanyue asked with a flat face, but sneered in her heart.As far as she knew, Xuantie Pavilion was the largest and most famous blacksmith's shop in the capital, and many dignitaries and nobles came to patronize it, and sometimes the profit from a single transaction could reach hundreds of taels of silver.This Jiang's attack is really ruthless, only earning 500 taels a year?very good.

"Yes, many blacksmith shops appeared in the capital last year, so..." Shopkeeper Xu wiped the sweat from his brow, and spoke confidently, but suddenly stopped talking.

Because, he actually felt his back was heating up!And the whole body, only the back is hot!Even the calves that are very close to the brazier are not as hot as the back!

Shopkeeper Xu suddenly remembered the oath he had just made, "If there is a lie, the back will get hot first, if you still know the mistake and don't correct it, you will be hit by five thunders!" '

Five thunders hit the top!

Shopkeeper Xu didn't believe in such things as oaths at first, but the oath was fulfilled just after he made it, so he had to believe it.So, he was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees, with a panicked expression on his face, and said: "Miss, please forgive me! It's a villain who made a mistake! Xuantie Pavilion's monthly profit can range from five thousand to two thousand, absolutely impossible." I only earn 500 taels a year."

As soon as shopkeeper Xu said this, the room was silent for a moment, only the blue flames in the fire, jumping enchantingly, made a shallow popping sound.
