In the three days since Tong Yan got married, Fang Ruo and Ji Yue have already registered the dowry items and locked them in the warehouse.

The rest are all grange shops and the like.

After taking a nap at noon, Tong Yan asked Ji Yue to bring all the industrial account books over.

Ji Yue let out an "ah" in surprise, looking at Tong Yan's hazy eyes, she thought that the county lord hadn't woken up, the account books of all industries, just one quarter, it was also a small mountain.

Tong Yan thought she didn't understand, and yawned and repeated it again.

Not to mention settling accounts by herself, but what industry she has in her hands, whether it is a profit or a loss, as the owner, she should always be clear.

Since the county lord is looking at it, Ji Yue can only hurry back to sort out the account books and bring them over.

Tong Yan wore a simple bun, wearing a moon-white narrow-sleeved gown, a tender yellow pleated skirt, and a golden sunshine on her body, sitting in front of the long case refreshingly, holding her cheeks.

After a while, Ji Yue pushed the door and came in, holding the account book in her hand that was taller than her head.

Tong Yan helped Ji Yue put the account book on the table, and stacked it directly into a small mountain, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the top one and opened it to read.

It is a cloth village.

There are no accounts from the previous year, only records from the beginning of the year, and the profit is the highest when the spring is about to begin, excluding expenses, and eighty taels of silver have been earned in a single month.

I remember the whole quarter on the books, and the remaining two months of profit are not as much as this month, and only one quarter is equivalent to a net profit of one hundred and forty taels of silver, and if you scrutinize it in turn, it will be about five hundred and sixty taels of silver for the whole year.

It's not a small amount anymore.

"This cloth village made a profit of one hundred and sixty taels of silver in a quarter, but is it normal?" Tong Yan closed the ledger and asked.

"It's normal." Ji Yue thought that the county lord felt that the profit was too small, and explained, "Generally, the income in spring is not considerable, and the people have spent a lot for the New Year, so they don't buy much after the beginning of spring. Although this cloth village is considered to be big, but the maid looks at the income of the previous two years, and it can't catch up with this, and the net profit for the whole year last year was less than five hundred taels. ”

Ji Yue has only just taken over these industries, and she has only seen a part of them, and the profits of this cloth village are average.

Looking at Tong Yan's thoughtful appearance, Ji Yue took the second account book, which was a pharmacy, and the shopkeeper was Shen Niangzi's husband's family, named Wang Yi.

"The county lord looks at this, like this pharmacy is well run, this quarter alone, it has made a profit of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, as the saying goes; Herbs are reborn, all diseases are prone to occur, so there are many profits, and the maid looks at the accounts of this medicinal herb shop for several years are very stable, and compared with other medicinal herb shops in our capital, the business is also good. ”

Tong Yan took it, flipped through a few pages, put it down, and said to Ji Yue, "You go and call Fang Ruo over, and then serve a bowl of tea and soup, I'm thirsty." ”

Ji Yue hurried to go.

Tong Yan picked up a few more books and flipped through them roughly, not to mention how much profit Daddy gave her to the shop, at least they were all big, and there was no loss.

After a while, Fang Ruo and Ji Yue came over.

Tong Yan drank the warm tea soup in one go, handed the empty bowl to Ji Yue, and asked her to go down first.

Ji Yue didn't dare to put her beak and retreated respectfully.

There was no one else in the house, and Tong Yan asked curiously, "Auntie used to be an errand boy next to Concubine Zhuang?" ”

Fang Ruo nodded calmly and said yes.

"And who were you doing on an errand before? Did you come to Concubine Zhuang as soon as you entered the palace? ”

Fang Ruo was a little stunned and looked a little tangled.

Tong Yan was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for her answer.

Fang Ruo sighed faintly, knelt down with her skirt, and kowtowed to Tong Yan.

"The maid used to be the little maid next to Mrs. Rou, and then after the lady died, she followed the prince."

Tong Yan couldn't see the joy and anger, and muttered for a moment. So, did Daddy arrange for Fang Ruo to enter the palace, and let her go to Concubine Zhuang's side? Speaking of which, Concubine Zhuang is Tonghui's aunt, and it is rumored that if Fang Ruo killed the five princes, then eighty percent was instructed by Daddy? Because Mrs. Wang hurt her and indirectly killed her mother, so Daddy was angry with the Wang family, and even Concubine Zhuang didn't let go?

The sound of a needle falling to the ground in the silence of the room can be heard clearly.

Fang Ruo's upright back was a little loosened, breaking the calm, and said slowly, "It didn't take long for me to be sent to the palace by the prince, and by mistake, I was assigned to Concubine Zhuang's side, and later, on the day of the death of the five princes, I happened to be on duty, and I also served some paste to the five princes, so Concubine Zhuang was furious and sent me to the palace Zhengsi." Of course, in addition to me, there are several palace maids and chamberlains who have been in contact with the five princes, and they have also been sent down. Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that the death of the fifth prince had nothing to do with others, but because he had twins with the sixth princess, and one of them was born with inconsistency, so he died. In this way, we were all released, but we couldn't go back to Concubine Zhuang's side, so we could only be reassigned to other places, and the prince asked me to come back. ”

She took a big breath and briefly described her experience over the years.

"Then why did Daddy send you to the palace?" Tong Yan said lightly.

"It's my own request, and it has nothing to do with the prince." Fang Ruo simply said, "Mrs. Rou is as kind to me as a mountain, and treats me like a sister, I hate the people of the Wang family, so I don't want to make the sister of that poisonous woman feel better." It's a pity......" she sneered, "Concubine Zhuang's son was born with congenital deficiencies, and all the essence went to the sixth princess, and even the imperial doctor said that he had to take care of it carefully, otherwise it was very likely that he would fall ill or die halfway." In this case, I don't have to get my hands dirty, the child is like a kitten, ninety percent can't live, sure enough, it's gone early, it can be seen that the sky has eyes, and cause and effect are reincarnated! ”

She calmed down a little, and said with some regret, "Originally, these shouldn't have been told to the county lord, you are still young, you are at an innocent age, unlike slaves, you have already lived half your life, and you have seen all these things that should not be seen." ”

Tong Yan knew that Daddy let Fang Ruo go, it must be because Fang Ruo was trustworthy, and it was very likely that it was related to Ah Niang.

She hasn't heard of these private things, but the key is that there is a debtor and a master, what can this Mrs. Wang's sin do to Concubine Wang Zhuang, even if they are sisters, it can't be counted on the head of Concubine Wang Zhuang?

Thinking so, Tong Yan asked directly.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ruo sneered again, she wanted to speak and stopped, as if she was wondering whether to tell Tong Yan.

"To put it bluntly, although I am not very old now, I am also married to a wife, and I am not an ignorant child, so I don't have to cover it."

Tong Yan said, signaling Fang Ruo not to kneel, just stand up and sit aside to talk.

Fang Ruo didn't shirk it, and did as Tong Yan instructed, and a touch of hatred appeared on her originally serious face, making her even more hideous and terrifying.
