After listening to Xiao Ruixue's words, Xiao Hui couldn't help touching Xiao Ruixue's head and smiled: "Yes, my four mothers want to share their father's worries!" ”

As soon as Xiao Ruixue heard Xiao Hui's tone, she knew that he didn't take it seriously, so she said, "Dad, I really want to recommend myself!" ”

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Ruixue with some surprise: "Siniang, are you serious?" ”

Xiao Ruixue said very seriously: "Of course it's true! ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hui turned around and shook his head with a smile, while Zhu Yan on the side got up and gently pressed Xiao Ruixue's shoulder, and scolded: "Girl, don't make trouble for your father!" ”

"Mother, I'm not making trouble!"

Xiao Hui opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Siniang, you want to share your worries for your father, and your father is very pleased with this!" It's just that business matters are all adult affairs, and you are still young, so don't get involved! ”

Xiao Ruixue said unhappily: "Ganluo can worship the prime minister at the age of twelve, I am fourteen years old this year, two years older than him, how can I still be young?" ”

"No matter how young Gan Luo is, he is also a man, and you are a little lady, how can this be compared?"

Xiao Ruixue took a deep breath: "Speaking of which, my father actually disliked me as a daughter?" ”

Xiao Hui found that Xiao Ruixue was angry, and couldn't help but say: "Siniang, you misunderstood your father, your father only has you as a daughter, and it's too late to hurt you, how can he dislike you?" You must know that doing business is extremely hard, and with your father and your brother here, how can you let your little lady come out and suffer? ”

"Dad, it is a matter of course for children to share their parents' worries, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Shi Tiying has been praised by the world for saving his father, just in our Xiao family, there was still a big mother in the imperial city to save his father. You have worked hard to raise me for more than ten years, and now I just want to share some sorrows for you, don't you even want to fulfill my wishes? ”

As soon as Xiao Ruixue mentioned Mrs. Gu's rescue of her father in the imperial city, Xiao Hui's expression was quite embarrassed, because this matter had nothing to do with him at the beginning, but later when Xiao Ruixue said that he was excited, he couldn't help but sigh a little: "My daughter's filial father is very moved!" It's just that you have lived in the back house since you were a child, and you don't know much about business, how can your father rest assured that such an important position as the principal of Jinling will be in your hands? Isn't that child's play? ”

Xiao Bowen suddenly spoke: "Dad, you are mistaking Siniang, Siniang knows a lot about business!" ”

Xiao Hui was slightly stunned: "How do you say it?" ”

Xiao Bowen said: "Because Siniang is careful, so when I check the accounts of major rice shops every month, I will ask her to help me check the complicated accounts and check the gaps, she has always been familiar with the rice price, the market and the inventory, expenditure, and profit of each of our rice shops, and the previous two shopkeepers secretly made fake accounts or she found out!" ”

At this moment, both Mrs. Gu and Zhu Yan couldn't help but show surprise, and Xiao Hui was even more surprised: "There is such a thing, why have you never mentioned it?" ”

Xiao Bowen glanced at Xiao Ruixue, and when he saw Xiao Ruixue trying to stop him with his eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Because Siniang won't let me say it, maybe she has her own reasons, you better listen to her own words!" Xiao Ruixue's expression was slightly stunned.

Xiao Hui frowned and said, "Siniang, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Ruixue lowered her eyebrows and said, "I just did a show of hands, and I didn't help my eldest brother much, so I don't think there's much to say." ”

After listening to Xiao Ruixue's words, Xiao Hui couldn't help but smile and said: "Checking the accounts is the only means for each owner to control the shopkeepers, which can be said to be very important, but it has become a gesture in your mouth!" Siniang, Siniang, should my father say that you are modest, or should I say that you are arrogant? ”

Xiao Bowen said again at this time: "Dad, in fact, I can probably guess the real reason, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

Xiao Hui's eyes widened: "I know you're not going to talk about it soon?" ”

"Daddy remembers what he said four years ago?"

"What?"

"My fourth mother is really a prodigy, but it's a pity that it's a daughter's family, too smart and useless!"

Xiao Hui's eyes were slightly stunned, and a dusty memory opened in his mind. It was four years ago, Xiao Bowen had just experienced the second failure in his life, and he was a little disheartened, Xiao Hui also saw that this son's talent in the imperial examination was too ordinary, so he intended to train him to be his successor, so he selected a shop for him to be the shopkeeper, and first learned how to operate and keep accounts. At that time, Xiao Jiaerlang and San Lang were only eleven or twelve years old, and they only knew how to play wantonly all day long, Xiao Ruixue was only ten years old, and she should have been innocent and innocent, but Xiao Ruixue didn't like to play with the second and third brothers, but liked to follow the eldest brother around. In those days, Xiao Bowen was doing things seriously every day, and Xiao Ruixue sat next to him, looking at her big and round eyes meticulously.

Once, Xiao Hui happened to meet him, and he thought it was very interesting, so he asked with a smile: "Siniang, you follow your eldest brother all day long, can you understand the accounts?" ”

At that time, before Xiao Ruixue could answer, Xiao Bowen said with a sad face: "Dad, this little girl is so clever, she can really understand everything, and she always points out from time to time that I have made some mistakes in accounting, I feel that I am not as good as her, it is really a blow!" ”

Xiao Hui was suddenly interested, so he tested Xiao Ruixue one by one according to the accounts recorded by Xiao Bowen, and found that Xiao Ruixue could answer every detail fluently, Xiao Hui was pleasantly surprised at the time, and couldn't help but praise: "My fourth mother is really a prodigy!" But then he said regretfully: "Hey, it's a pity that it's a daughter's family, it's useless to be too smart!" Since then, Xiao Ruixue has not followed Xiao Bowen, but accompanied her second brother and third brother to play around all day long, so that Xiao Hui gradually forgot about it.

After recalling the past, Xiao Hui's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Siniang, is it because of your father's words back then, you deliberately concealed your ability from your father?" ”

Xiao Bowen said: "I also think that what my father said at that time was a little inappropriate, Siniang's eyes at that time were obviously a little darker, it seems that it was a deep blow!" ”

Xiao Ruixue was a little embarrassed: "Dad, don't listen to your eldest brother's nonsense, how old was I at the time?" If I hadn't heard you talk about this today, I wouldn't have remembered it a long time ago-" But before she could finish speaking, Xiao Hui grabbed her shoulders and said with a smile: "Siniang, she is worthy of being her father's good daughter, she is really talented and intelligent!" In this case, Dad will hand over the position of the principal of Jinling to you! ”

Happiness came too suddenly, Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but be a little confused: "Really-really? She saw Xiao Bowen winking and smiling at herself, so she reacted, hugged Xiao Hui in turn, and said happily: "Thank you, Dad!" ”

A bright moon hung in the treetops of the courtyard, Xiao Ruixue leaned against the window, raised her head to look at the bright moon, and hesitated in her heart. Today, thanks to the help of her eldest brother Xiao Bowen, Xiao Ruixue's self-recommendation finally got her wish, and her heart can be said to be very grateful, but thinking about what she will do in the future and the responsibilities she will bear, she can't help but clench her fists tightly.

The next day, when Xiao Hui saw Xiao Ruixue dressed in a cyan shirt, like a handsome young man, he couldn't help but be surprised for a while: "Siniang, why are you dressed like this?" ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled: "Dad, don't you think it's more convenient for me to dress up like this?" ”

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Ruixue carefully, and saw that her gestures were all generous, and there was no trace of her daughter's home, so she couldn't help laughing: "It's really good, she looks good!" Well, you're right, it's inconvenient for women to do business after all, and you can really save a lot of trouble by acting as a man in the future! He thought about it again, and suddenly smiled: "But the name Ruixue is my daughter's family as soon as I hear it, and you will have to have a name outside in the future, so it's better to let your father give you another male name!" ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled slightly: "Dad, you don't have to bother with it, I have chosen the name myself!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Hui was slightly surprised. I saw Xiao Ruixue bowing lightly to herself, and arched her hand and said, "Child Xiao Yun, I have seen my father!" ”
