CHAPTER XX
For a long night, the two of them did their own things in an orderly manner.
When helping Gu Nanye organize the account books and documents, Qu Muge unexpectedly found that the Gu family's business was very big!
The Gu family started from a vegetable vendor, and there are many restaurants, wine shops, and wine-making workshops under their names, not only operating the "catering industry", but also doing the business of scholars because of Mrs. Song, and there are many workshops in academies, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
In recent years, because Gu Nanye led the troops to fight at the border pass, the Gu family had a special customs clearance channel, and braved the war to start a business with the outside of the border.
She couldn't help but sigh, Master Gu's character is not good, but the means of using other people's resources are first-class.
Gu Nanye saw that she was looking seriously, and suddenly asked, "Can you understand?" ”
Qu Muge nervously closed the document and lied: "I know the words, but I don't know what it means when I put them together." ”
After staying up in the middle of the night, Gu Nanye was a little sleepy, so he picked up the paperwork in Qu Mu Singer and said, "Come here, I'll teach you to read it." ”
Qu Muge stammered and asked, "This is your family's business, teach me what to do?" ”
Gu Nanye glanced at her and said, "It's a shame that my mother treats you so well, you don't plan to help her share her worries and solve problems, so you're going to eat and drink at my house all the time?" ”
"Oh!" What he said was very reasonable: "I must study hard and strive to solve my wife's worries as soon as possible." ”
Gu Nanye hesitated for a moment and said, "However, I plan to take you to Beijing in a few days." ”
Qu Muge didn't ask why she was brought to Beijing, she had already guessed Ye Taohua's life experience through the fragments of the dream, and Gu Nanye must have known it.
"Can I not go?" Qu Muge didn't want to go, before she could be independent, she didn't want to have too many entanglements with people in this time and space, she wanted to take her fate and life into her own hands.
If she continued to follow the path of Ye Taohua's previous life, she did not have the confidence to be able to make any struggle with the imperial power.
Gu Nanye looked at her and thought for a moment.
Now is not the best time to send her back to the palace, even if she doesn't want to, it doesn't hurt for the Gu family to raise her for another two years.
Gu Nanye nodded, didn't say much about entering Beijing, and picked up the paperwork to teach her again.
Originally, he just wanted to find her some homework to do, so that she would not always think about the bullying in her dreams, but after teaching her in the middle of the night, he found that the little girl was really as his mother said, very smart!
Gu Nanye thought a little seriously, and carefully told Qu Muge how to read the account books, how to check the accounts, how to keep the accounts, and told her which industries to keep, which ones to be rectified, and which ones to be closed.
What needs to be done every day in the industry to be operated, who to find to do when encountering problems, and so on, until dawn.
It was only when the birds in the back hill stopped on the lintel that the two of them realized that the sun was about to rise.
Gu Nanye closed the paperwork and said, "After moving back to the house in a few days, you will follow my mother to listen, watch and learn more." ”
The properties transferred by the Gu family, including the Gu Mansion, were all transferred to Mrs. Gu's name, and in order to facilitate the operation, Mrs. Gu needed to move to the Hui Mansion to live.
"Okay, I know, Brother Gu!" Qu Muge felt that he was familiar with Gu Nanye a lot this night, and tried to get closer to him.
Gu Nanye glanced at her in surprise, shook his head and said, "Don't shout at will." ”
"Oh, General Gu......" Qu Muge was suddenly hit, this person is really unkind.
The day before Gu Nanye entered Beijing, everyone in the small courtyard moved back to Gu's mansion.
Gu Nanye settled everything at home, and left Fan Shishui, the right-hand man around him, to help in Gu's mansion, and he set off for Beijing.
Back in Gu's house, Mrs. Gu's life is much busier than on Hongye Mountain, although Qu Muge is still following Mrs. Gu, but she is young after all, Mrs. Gu didn't really send her to do anything in industrial management, but the housekeepers and maids in Gu's mansion all felt that she was young and easy to talk and loved by Mrs., so they came to her to discuss things or pass on messages to Mrs.
Mother Qin, who was in charge of the concierge, stopped her in the tea room while Qu Muge was cooking tea, and said, "Miss Xuan'er, Madame has been busy all day, and she still doesn't take a break?" ”
Because Mrs. Gu likes to call her little Xuan'er, everyone in the house calls her "Xuan'er girl".
Qu Muge put down the hot tea in his hand and said, "There are several stewards waiting in the front hall to discuss with Madame, how can Madame have time to rest?" Mother Qin is not guarding the concierge but is here, is someone asking to see Madame? ”
Qin's mother was embarrassed: "It's Mrs. Zhao, she comes to see Mrs. every day, and she sits for half a day, and now she sits in the gatehouse." The old slave knew that the general put down his words before entering Beijing and did not allow the Zhao family to enter the door, but Mrs. Zhao was Mrs. Taishou after all, and the slave family thought about it, and still told Mrs. to know, so that Mrs. could decide whether to see or not to see. ”
Qu Muge thought about it, Mrs. Zhao looked for Mrs. Gu, mostly for Chen Heng's business, even if Mrs. Gu saw her, she couldn't help her, so she said, "Mother Qin, please go back first, I'll deal with this matter." ”
Qu Muge went to the front yard to find Fan Wading and greeted him politely: "Can Commander Fan take a step to speak?" ”
Fan Shishui is a tall and powerful general, it is said that he was born in a scholarly family, and his knowledge is not bad, and he is Gu Nanye's important right-hand man.
Before leaving, Gu Nanye specially told Fan Washui to protect Mrs. Gu and Ye Taixuan, although Fan Washui didn't know why Ye Taixuan was valued by the general, he was still very friendly and polite to her.
Fan wading led Qu Muge to the pavilion to sit down, and coaxed a child to bring her a plate of sweet cakes to eat: "What is the matter with Miss Xuan'er looking for me?" ”
Qu Muge asked, "Does Commander Fan know how the general dealt with Chen Heng?" ”
Fan Washui said with a smile: "This is not something that children should be curious about. ”
Qu Muge was stunned, when he got along with Gu Nanye before, he had never regarded himself as a child, and she did not have the consciousness of being a child, but now when she heard Fan Shishui say this, she remembered that Ye Taixuan was only thirteen years old.
But she doesn't plan to pretend to be a child, not to mention anything else, first of all, she can't pass the acting skills.
She paused for a moment and said, "Chen Heng was arrested by the general for offending me, and this matter has been related to me from beginning to end. Normally speaking, no matter how the general dealt with Chen Heng, there was always a way to make the Zhao family dare not make trouble again. But now Mrs. Zhao comes to the door every day to ask for people, and she has to disturb Mrs. Qingjing, which is not like the general's style of acting. ”
Fan Washui looked at the little girl again, and was secretly surprised in his heart, the little girl's mind was very keen!
But he still said perfunctorily: "Miss Xuan'er was worried about disturbing Mrs. Xuan'er, don't worry, I sent someone to send Mrs. Zhao away." ”
"Commander Fan." Qu Muge was a little unhappy, stood up and said, "Since you don't want to talk to me, then I'll go and see Mrs. Zhao and listen to what she has to say, I think she is very willing to see me." ”
"Girl!" Fan wading out of his hand to stop her, but he didn't expect that he couldn't handle a little girl.
