Chapter 124: It's a Little Noisy Here
Three days later, the Jiang Guogong Mansion planned to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and distributed posts to each family.
On the side of the East Courtyard, since Wen Qingmei's incident, Yanyuan's maids and daughters-in-law have become vigilant.
Aunt Yue even began to let the people in the garden take turns to come to the front every day.
The little guy next to Wen Mingyu can be replaced, and Aunt Yue feels that it is not impossible for people in Yanyuan.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't think so.
After all, that human, leather mask is not something that ordinary people can get.
She sent Lu Tao over to explain to Aunt Yue, but Aunt Yue was still not at ease.
Wen Qingzhu let her go.
However, Aunt Wu and Wen Qinglan in the West Courtyard were also forced to start going out.
Aunt Yue wants to make sure that everyone is still everyone, and the people in the West Courtyard will naturally not let it go.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the account books sent by Zhongbo, and most of the shops had been successfully handed over.
"Peony, come over here." Wen Qingzhu decided to find a chance to go out.
"Here we are." Peony's voice came from the backyard.
After a while, she walked up to her, still scented with medicine.
Wen Qingzhu took out the brochure of Wanrentang and said: "This shop was left by my grandfather to my mother, and it is also the best shop that has been in business for many years, we have to go over and have a look." β
"Does Miss want to go out in these two days?" Peony looked at her.
Wen Qingzhu opened the account book sent by Wan Ren Tang, pointed to the accounts on it and said: "Since last year's rectification, Wan Ren Tang's profit has remained at two hundred taels of profit every month, and since June this year, it has almost hit a profit of almost three hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount, and the other three shops are worth one Wan Ren Tang." β
"What does Miss mean, there are still cats in this Wanrentang?" Peony sat down, took the account book to her, and began to look through it.
Wen Qingzhu waited quietly, thinking about it in his heart.
That firewood shopkeeper must have something to do with the previous shopkeeper.
The accounts sent over after that were so simple and clear that Wen Qingzhu thought that there was no problem for a while.
But the accounts sent in these two months, the profits of the silver are getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, news also came from Fu Lie's side that he had saved the second son of the military department Shangshu.
At the same time, he also met Jiang Yuancheng.
Wen Qingzhu knew that there was no problem with his promotion.
It's just that Jiang Yuancheng is only afraid that he will suspect Fu Lie from now on, and he may not be able to suspect himself at present.
But Fu Lie has a lot of relationship with her, and Jiang Yuancheng will know sooner or later.
The reason why Wen Qingzhu relieved Fu Lie to meet Jiang Yuancheng had another purpose.
That is, Jiang Yuancheng is still easy to deal with now, and Fu Lie is even more confrontational with him, and he can understand the corruption and cruelty within the court as quickly as possible.
"Miss! This account looks fine......" Peony frowned, seemingly unsure.
Wen Qingzhu retracted his thoughts and said, "What's the problem, you say." β
Peony flipped the account to the end, pointed to the final profit and said: "The silver earned in the past two months is a bit extraordinarily much, there shouldn't have been anything happening in the capital recently, why are there so many people who see a doctor and take medicine?" β
Wen Qingzhu got up, looked at the door and said, "This is another reason why we have to go out, I think Wan Rentang's profits may be far more than these accounts." β
In the afternoon of the same day, Wen Qingzhu went to Zimingtang to see Wen Shuquan.
When he arrived in the study, Wen Qingzhu directly expressed his intentions: "Father, there is a little problem with the shop left by my mother, and Mother Ye can't solve it, I want to go and see it in person." β
"You don't know what to do in business, so what if it's over?" Uncle Wen put down the pen in his hand and looked up at her.
Wen Qingzhu replied with his head bowed: "Father, although my daughter doesn't know anything about business, but Mother Ye will, and Cao Steward will, my father can let him go over with his daughter, in fact, I used to support the scene, mainly because some people were disobedient." β
When Uncle Wen heard Wen Qingzhu mention Cao Yu, his eyes changed imperceptibly.
After pondering for a moment, he finally replied: "Steward Cao is busy now, I will let Steward Tian accompany you." β
Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, but quickly agreed.
After a while, Uncle Wen called Tian Chong in and explained the situation.
Tian Chong replied: "The villain obeys." β
"Then go, Miss Haosheng takes care of her." Uncle Wen looked at Tian Chong and said meaningfully.
"Yes." Tian Chong took a deep breath and responded.
Half an hour later, Tian Chong arranged a carriage and carriage and took Wen Qingzhu and the three of them out.
"Steward Tian, I will thank you for taking care of me in the future." Wen Qingzhu said meaningfully to Tian Chong.
Tian Chong's face was calm, and he nodded: "Miss, don't worry, your kindness, the villain has always remembered it." β
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Manager Tian, you and I are both smart people, Mother Ye and Peony are my confidants, I said some things directly, don't you mind, follow your father, there is really no future." β
Hearing the last sentence, Tian Chong was stunned.
He and Wen Qingzhu's dark and deep eyes looked at each other, and the whole person instantly became nervous.
I don't know why, he always felt like he was being seen through.
He is low-key, but does not represent no ideas.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Mother Ye lifted the curtain to look over.
"Miss, it's here."
Peony took the power and put it on for Wen Qingzhu.
Mother Ye and Tian Chong got out of the car first, and then Peony helped Wen Qingzhu get out of the car.
Wan Ren Tang is on the most prosperous street in the south of the capital, the store is not big, but it is full.
The streets are full of people, horsebacks, donkeys, carriages, and sedan chairs.
There are no more, more ordinary ordinary people.
Their carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and there was a tea shed next to it. Wonderful Pen Court
Before coming here, Wen Qingzhu had already inquired about the surrounding environment of Wanrentang.
Mother Ye led them to sit down in the tea shed.
The proprietress was very enthusiastic, and it didn't seem to be the first time she had seen Mother Ye.
After serving tea, he looked at Wen Qingzhu, who was wearing a power lid, and asked with a smile: "This is your young lady, it looks different." β
"Thank you." Mother Ye stuffed some broken silver for the proprietress .
The proprietress understood, walked around the table, and lowered the two bamboo curtains.
Although the conditions were simpler, Wen Qingzhu was not worried.
Because when she sat down, she had already seen several girls wearing power hats.
Some of them have maids and some don'ts.
Therefore, Wen Qingzhu's dress is not conspicuous.
After the proprietress left, Wen Qingzhu pointed to Wan Rentang on the opposite side and said, "That's what my grandfather runs with the most heart, I don't know how much this medicine hall makes every month with the eyes of Tian Steward?" β
Tian Chong knew that this was Wen Qingzhu's test for himself.
He looked at the door of Wanrentang, stared at it for two quarters of an hour, and then estimated it in his heart.
In the end, he said to Wen Qingzhu: "The villain conservatively estimates that it is not less than five hundred taels of silver a month. β
Hearing this, Peony's expression was shocked.
She subconsciously looked at Wen Qingzhu, but found that she was very calm and did not seem surprised.
But the peony was unexpected.
The account book I read in the morning showed that I had made a profit of almost three hundred taels this month.
Tian Chong's ability is known to her, and the people around Uncle Wen will not have waste.
Since he said, keep five hundred taels.
Then Wan Ren Tang's profit is very likely to double.
Peony's expression sank, and what the young lady said was indeed right.
Mother Ye can read the accounts, but she is not very proficient in business matters, and she only knows roughly that there is a problem.
"How can Steward Tian see that Wanrentang has so much profit?"
Tian Chong glanced at them, knowing that Wen Qingzhu was waiting for his explanation.
Looking at the door of Wanrentang, Tian Chong pointed to the people who came out of the door, the medicine bags in their hands.
"You can see, I just made a rough observation, and in a quarter of an hour about twenty people came out, and among them were all medicine bags in their hands, at least two pairs of medicines. According to the most ordinary wind and cold, a pair of medicine can earn at least five dollars of silver.
In the second quarter of an hour just now, nineteen people took the medicine, and the villain was counted as eighteen. Now is the best time for business in the morning, that is, about four quarters of an hour, so that the total is eighteen taels of silver, and a month is one thousand and eighty taels.
In the end, excluding the costs of manpower, doctors, management, loss, etc., the villain is calculated according to half, which is at least a profit of five hundred taels of silver. β
After a pause, Tian Chong said again: "Miss, look, is there a problem?" β
Wen Qingzhu didn't just want to say that there was no problem, he just wanted to praise Tian Chong.
She didn't expect Tian Chong to be so smart.
After observing and calculating, he not only understands the operating costs of the business, but most importantly, he can also be patient and low-key.
Now that Cao Yu is in power, he has been patient.
This kind of person is simply Jiang Yuancheng's dream subordinate.
But now, Wen Qingzhu has made up his mind that he must completely take down Tian Chong.
He has this ability, so he naturally will not be willing to stay in the small Wen family all the time.
"Well, it's okay." Wen Qingzhu didn't show anything.
"It's inconvenient for me to show up now, Mother Ye will take the field steward over to take a look, and Peony and I are waiting here." Wen Qingzhu decided to give Tian Chong a chance.
Since she came to Wanrentang in person, this pharmacy must be very important.
Tian Chong himself knows.
"Yes." Tian Chong didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to trust him so much, and after answering, he followed Mother Ye to get up and go over.
After they left, Peony asked puzzledly: "Miss, Steward Tian is the third master's person, you let him follow him directly, aren't you afraid that he will hide something?" β
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "Steward Tian is a smart person, smarter than you think, he knows what he does is the best choice." β
Especially after seeing Wan Ren Tang today.
The profit of this pharmacy is actually not the most profitable shop for my grandfather.
My grandfather also left a mine to his mother, but it was not included in the dowry list.
This is also why Wen Qingzhu in his previous life, after his mother's dowry was robbed, he still didn't worry about the problem of money.
As long as Tian Chong can endure his temperament, he can see different fields.
Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand, picked up the tea bowl and sipped a little tea.
At this time, a gentleman passing by suddenly stopped.
He stared intently at Wen Qingzhu's slender hand, his eyes widened in an instant, and the saliva in his mouth flowed out.
"This young lady, down thereβ"
Before he finished his words, Peony stood up coldly and waved his hand.
A colorless, odorless powder rose in the air.
After a while, the gentleman in front of him suddenly became sluggish.
The little guy behind him was about to make a move at any time, but Peony said quietly: "This son, please go as far as you want." β
"Okay." The gentleman nodded sluggishly, then turned to leave.
The little guy behind him had to leave.
Wen Qingzhu put down the tea bowl, looked at the crowd on the street and said, "Peony, let's change places, it's a bit noisy here." β
