Chapter 230 She is not easy to mess with
The eldest lady felt that things were a bit hot to her hands.
I originally thought it was a supplement, not expensive, but it was thoughtfully put into it, so it was just right to accept it.
Now that she has a request, the eldest lady is a little uneasy.
Qiu Shangwei smiled and patted her hand: "Madam, don't worry too much. I am a few years younger than madam. I want to call you sister. I wonder if I can have the honor?"
The eldest lady was startled: "??"
Qiu Boqian outside came to his senses again: "This is great! It has to be my aunt!"
Jiang Yanmu: "..."
The eldest lady looked troubled, Qiu Shangwei said: "Madam, what are your concerns?"
"The current situation in the palace... is really not a burden. I'm afraid it will affect the Qiu family," the eldest lady told her frankly, "It's not that I don't look down on you, it's just..."
"Madam, you can rest assured about this," Qiu Shangwei said, "I am now in Xucheng. I married into the Kong family. I am the Kong Qiu family. I am just a merchant and have nothing to do with the Qiu family."
Qiu Shangwei looked at Yan Ruyu with a smile: "What do you think, Princess?"
Before Yan Ruyu could answer, Qiu Boqian's head popped out from the curtain: "Princess! My little aunt's family has a bookstore in Xucheng, and they also sell the Four Treasures of the Study!"
When I arrived in Xucheng, I chose a few pieces for Heng'er. The second young master had outstanding literary talent and good calligraphy. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy anything of such good quality in the northwest! "
Everything else was fine. Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat when she mentioned "Bookstore".
This is good business.
Qiu Shangwei observed the words and said: "If the princess wants any medical books or unique copies, and I don't have them at home, I can help find them."
Yan Ruyu looked at the eldest lady: "Mother, since the madam is sincere, just agree."
The eldest lady nodded: "That's fine."
Qiu Shangwei smiled gently, stood up immediately, and bowed Yingying: "That's it, sister pays homage to sister."
The eldest lady quickly helped her up with both hands: "No need to be polite, I don't have a suitable greeting gift..."
Yan Ruyu took out a jade abacus from the space - this was given to her by her grandfather. She had to learn a lot of things when she was a child, including mental arithmetic and even gold in her sleeves.
She doesn’t even know, and she’s not in the business, so why should she learn these things?
Every time I asked, Grandpa smiled and said nothing, looking mysterious.
Give away the jade abacus today.
"Madam," Yan Ruyu said, "this is a gift from my mother to you."
The jade beads are crystal clear, the sandalwood frame is there, and there is a faint fragrance. It is not very valuable, but it is also exquisite and rare.
Nowadays, most merchants use sand tables to settle accounts, and I have never seen such a thing as an abacus.
"This is……"
Yan Ruyu put the abacus on the table, returned the beads, and moved her fingertips on it: "There are 700 people in Antai Town. This epidemic broke out. More than 300 people died and more than 100 people were injured. After treatment, they are currently recovering. More than 50 people.”
Every time she said a number, she moved her fingertips a few times, and Qiu Shangwei's eyes lit up.
Yan Ruyu stopped her fingers, and Qiu Shangwei looked at the abacus, feeling excited.
"This!"
"This is a small tool for calculation." Yan Ruyu gave her the abacus. "There are also a few formulas. I will write them down and give them to Mr. Qiu. Madam, please think about it first. After arriving in Xucheng in a few days, I will Teach usage.”
Qiu Shangwei was surprised and happy, and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Princess. I'm sorry."
As the night got deeper, Qiu Shangwei couldn't stay longer, so she pulled Qiu Boqian to leave.
The Jiang brothers and sisters, An Cizhou and Qi Dongqiang also left.
In the carriage, Qiu Boqian wanted to reach out and pull the beads, but Qiu Shangwei beat him back.
"Auntie, look at your precious jade. This jade is of good quality, but it's not like this, right?"
"What do you know?" Qiu Shangwei said angrily, "This has nothing to do with the quality of the jade. Even wooden beads are worth thousands of taels."
"what?!"
"You only care about studying and don't know about business, so of course you don't understand," Qiu Shangwei gently stroked the abacus, "Do you know how inconvenient it is to use a sand table to make accounts?
This thing can be calculated quickly and accurately by fiddling with it.
Not to mention that we can use it ourselves, it saves a lot of manpower and is more accurate. Even if we make the same thing and sell it, it will be a huge fortune. "
“Let me ask you, which shop or mistress wouldn’t want to use something like this?”
Qiu Boqian took a slow breath: "Oh my god, I thought this was just a gadget, but I didn't expect such a big business opportunity!"
"It's not just a business opportunity, it's a business opportunity in a blank field," Qiu Shangwei suppressed her excitement, "I want to return to Xucheng overnight to discuss this matter with your uncle."
Qiu Shangwei took out a money bag: "Here are banknotes and broken money. You can take it. I originally wanted to check the situation and see if I should give it to the princess and the others. Fortunately, I didn't act rashly.
Tomorrow I will get the usage instructions written by the princess. Be sure to send them to me personally and do not let others know. "
"Then it's okay for me and the princess to go all the way?" Qiu Boqian blinked, "Jiang Yanmu and her sister will leave tomorrow, and I will have the opportunity."
Qiu Shangwei smiled lightly and knocked on his forehead: "Okay, it's up to you. Remember to be sincere and don't play tricks. The princess is not easy to mess with. Her eyes can see everything clearly."
"Yes, yes, I wrote it down."
"This trip was not in vain. I'll give you a big credit. Didn't you always want that ancient painting? When you get to Xucheng, take it away."
Qiu Boqian was overjoyed: "Thank you, aunt!"
……
Yan Ruyu wrote down the oral decision and gave a copy to the eldest lady. She also drew a drawing and gave it to Huo Changhe, asking him to make one according to it.
"Mother, this is called the abacus. From now on, you will be responsible for settling our accounts on the road. Use this, it is easy to use."
The eldest lady also saw it just now and was very shocked. After being the mistress of the house for so many years, the most troublesome thing is settling accounts.
I didn't expect something so light and simple.
"Ruyu, you are so smart. How did you come up with that?"
Yan Ruyuxin said that this is not my credit, but the wisdom of the ancestors.
"Mom, I've thought about it. When we go to the northwest, we need money for food, clothing, housing and transportation on the way. After arriving in the northwest, we also need to settle down. With so many people, it's difficult to move without money."
"So, I think it will be unavoidable in future business. Others can take back your rights, but it is not so easy for others to take away the money you have earned."
"The Qiu family has merchants all over the place, and Qiu Shangwei is also a good one. Although she said a few words briefly, I can tell that she must know that the weight of this thing is not that we cling to them when we are in trouble, but that our Zhennan Palace still has Spiritual energy and the capital to make a comeback.”
Mrs. Dafu had tears in her eyes: "Ruyu, you are right, you are right."
Huo Changhe stood outside the door, his steps stopped, his heart beating in his chest as he listened to his little wife's words.
The bright moon in the sky is like a jade plate, and the stars are like diamonds. Falling in his eyes, the gentle light seems to linger in his heart.
There is only one person in my heart, and there is only one person in this life.
Early the next morning, Yan Ruyu and the eldest lady were packing their things, and Yin Ding hurried in from outside.
