This is also the reason why Aunt Han is older than Shen Yuntang, if Aunt Han and Shen Yuntang are equals, I am afraid that she will not even be able to sit.

Shen Yuntang saw her restraint.

"Auntie, don't care about this in front of me."

Aunt Han shook her head tactfully, "In front of the prince, the etiquette cannot be abolished. ”

Shen Yuntang was not reluctant and went with her.

Some things are deep-rooted and cannot be changed for a while, and when they become familiar with them in the future, Aunt Han will naturally be able to let go.

After the little maid served tea, Bai Mei took Sister Xiang to the yard to play, and Shen Yuntang took a few account books out and pushed them in front of Aunt Han.

Aunt Han stared at the account book, her eyes were full of surprise, "Lord Shizi, this is ......"

The corners of Shen Yuntang's mouth raised slightly, "I knew that my aunt was born as a merchant, and I helped manage the shop at home when I was young. ”

Manage the shop for the Hou Mansion!

It's like a butler's job!

If she can really do a good job, her status in the Hou Mansion will definitely not be like today, even a little maid can be easily bullied.

Aunt Han was ecstatic in her heart, but she hesitated when she thought of several young ladies and old ladies in the Hou Mansion.

Shen Yuntang could see her hesitation at a glance.

"Auntie doesn't have to worry about a few sisters, and the old lady never cares about the affairs of the outer courtyard."

The implication is that these are Shen Yuntang's decisions, as long as she agrees, there is no problem.

"Is the prince really?"

Shen Yuntang bowed.

Aunt Han suddenly got up and knelt down towards Shen Yuntang, startled Shen Yuntang, and hurriedly bent down to help her up.

"Auntie, you don't have to be like this, you haven't read this account book yet!"

Shen Yuntang was helpless, it seemed that Aunt Han was too suppressed in the Hou Mansion, she just gave her a little hope, she was like grasping a life-saving straw.

Aunt Han also reacted at this time, she blushed and said, "The slave is a little child, don't mind." ”

Shen Yuntang shook his hand, "Auntie, let's read the account book first and then make a decision." ”

Aunt Han calmed down at this time, suppressed the joy in her heart, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the prince, are these shops profitable?" ”

Shen Yuntang didn't hide it from her, "There is only one silk village that still has some money every month, and the remaining two have to lose some silver taels every month."

"How much do you lose?"

Shen Yuntang shook his head, "It's not a lot to lose." ”

"Then it's done, don't worry, give it to the slave maid, and in a month, the slave and maid will be able to make this shop profitable."

Shen Yuntang didn't expect Aunt Han to be so refreshing.

Making a loss-making shop profitable is not an easy task.

She is not afraid of what Aunt Han will do, the deed of the shop is still here, and there are people from Steward Nie who are watching it every day.

"If my aunt uses the silver, just withdraw it from Steward Nie, I have already greeted him, you can instruct the people in the shop as you like, and I will ask Chen Shao to arrange two guards to protect my aunt at that time."

Aunt Han didn't expect Shen Yuntang to be so thoughtful, and suddenly felt willing to do so.

Shen Yuntang pushed the purse in his hand to Aunt Han, "Auntie, this is five taels of silver, which is this month's regular silver, and you will receive it according to this example in the future." ”

When Shen Yuntang left the courtyard, Aunt Han hugged her daughter Sister Xiang and cried again.

Sister Xiang didn't quite understand why her aunt was crying and laughing, she wiped her tears with her little hand, and asked strangely, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy that your eldest brother came to see us?" ”

Aunt Han hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and showed a smile to her daughter, "How come, Aunt is happy, my Sister Xiang will never have to suffer again in the future." ”

Shen Yuntang promised that as long as Aunt Han's shop ran well, she would be counted as a share of the dividends at the end of the year.

With this money, Aunt Han will be able to save some dowry silver for the fifth lady Shen Xiang, and when the time comes, her daughter will grow up and get married.

How could she not be happy.

Sister Xiang'er's eyes were bright, and she pouted, "With the eldest brother here, of course Sister Xiang doesn't have to suffer." ”

Aunt Han scolded her daughter with a smile, this is because she has a brother and forgot her mother.

"By the way, Sister Xiang'er, your eldest brother said that he would ask your husband to teach you to read and write, you must study hard, you know?"

Sister Xiang nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, mother, since the eldest brother wants Sister Xiang to be literate, Sister Xiang will definitely work hard." ”

"This kid!" Aunt Han gently touched her daughter's soft braids.

When Shen Yuntang returned to the Howling Wind House, Wing Chun had already returned.

Shen Yuntang glanced at her, saw that she seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the second sister is still angry with you? ”

Wing Chun hurriedly shook her head, the second miss knew that she and Bai Mei were by the side of the prince all day long, but in fact, they had already regarded their sisters as the princess's roommate, and the second miss actually loved the prince the most...... How could it be harsh on them.

Shen Yuntang sat down on a soft couch in the inner room, "Then what are you doing with your wrinkled face?" ”

Wing Chun touched his face, a little frightened in his heart.

In the past, the prince was cold all day long, and she kept a straight face everywhere, and she and Bai Mei served by the side of the prince, and rarely showed their emotions.

But I didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and they seemed to be used to telling the prince of their thoughts, and they had no scruples in front of her.

It seems that people always like warmth and want to rely on it.

It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, and it is difficult to enter from luxury to simple, I hope that the prince can always be like this.

Wing Chun hurriedly pulled back his thoughts, "Lord Shizi, when the slave maid went to Chu Yuyuan, the third and fourth misses were also there. ”

Shen Yuntang's gaze swept over, waiting for her to continue.

waited until Wing Chun explained the matter and the situation to the table, Shen Yuntang fell silent, and he couldn't drink the refreshing tea.

Because in late autumn, winter clothes should be added to the house.

In previous years, this matter should have been prepared a long time ago, but this year, due to the illness of the original owner Shen Yuntang and the death of Yongxing Hou, it was delayed, and it was not until now that I found time to prepare.

It's just that because of the funeral of the Marquis of Yongxing, the Hou Mansion spent a lot, and even the silver in the inner house was embezzled a lot.

The second lady thought that she would need silver for the holidays and New Year's holidays in winter, so she gathered several sisters to her courtyard to discuss.

The fourth lady was the youngest, and she consciously proposed to wear her sisters' old clothes.

Anyway, she is now fourteen, and she is not yet in time, and she rarely has to go out to socialize, she can wear old clothes, and she doesn't need to wear new jewelry.

And the second and third ladies only made a set of winter clothes after thinking about it, and the autumn ones were saved.

However, Shen Yuntang has added two more sets of clothes to the regulations.

The second lady feels that her younger brother is now going to inherit the title, go out to socialize, or even enter the officialdom, and it is not okay to do things properly.

Wing Chun listened to the sadness on the sidelines.

The daughters of other people's Houmen, which one is not showy, delicate and unbelievable, and the new clothes every season are even more inexhaustible.

But when they arrived at their Hou Mansion, the young ladies in the family didn't even have new clothes in order to make a few more clothes for their brothers.
