Chapter 66: A Lot of Joy

"Does the girl want to hear good news or bad news? Yun Yan looked at Xiaoyue playfully.

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "Then let's talk about the good news first." ”

Yun Yan nodded and said, "The dividends of Bailan's study in recent months have been very high, basically the last three months have been 100 taels of silver a month. ”

Xiao Yue was taken aback when she heard this, "So high?"

Yun Yan smiled and nodded, "I heard from the fourth master, many branches have been opened recently, and according to your instructions, the price of books has dropped a little, and as a result, more people have bought them." ”

Xiao Yue smiled happily when she heard it and said, "Then I have to give you a salary increase, hahaha!"

Yun Yan was even happier when she heard this, "The girl is really a good owner." ”

Xiao Yue looked at Xu Chengchang and said, "Chengchang, in the future, you will be responsible for the account room of Bailan's study to send dividends." ”

Xu Chengchang also looked very motivated when he saw that Xiaoyue arranged work with him, "What the son ordered, Chengchang must do his best." ”

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "The double-entry account book I drew for you before, you go to the fourth master and ask him to print dozens of copies for you." I will let Yun Yan hand over the account to you, and then you can take the money from the account to pay. ”

Xu Chengchang nodded, "It's all written down." ”

Xiao Yue turned her head and continued to ask Yun Yan, "Is there any good news?"

Yun Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There is good news." ”

Xiaoyue wondered if the restaurant was making money, and said anxiously: "Say it quickly, say it quickly!"

"Congratulations girl, the book written by the girl is a big seller!"

Xiao Yue didn't react when she heard it, this exceeded her expectations, and the first time she wrote a book, it was a big hit, "You mean it really?"

"Really, really" Yun Yan said with a smile, "I heard that Fourth Master Yun said, I will talk to the girl about the remuneration after a while," she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, it seems that the girl's script and the drama team want to buy it for rehearsals?"

"Is it so popular?" Xiao Yue was puzzled, she felt that it should be Mr. Pan's change, looking at the book on the desk, she thought that she must take the time to see, what is the difference between what Mr. Pan changed and what she wrote.

"En, I heard that it was sold out just after it was listed, and now I'm still working overtime to catch up with the print!" Yun Yan said proudly.

"Well, what's the good news?" Satsuki asked.

Yun Yan thought for a while and said, "I don't know if this is good news or bad news." ”

Satsuki said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Yun Yan paused and said: "The people over Qingshan brought news that the little prince had entered the Qingshan Gate, and the master he worshipped was Zhushan, and he took a Taoist name, called Baizhu. ”

Xiao Yue suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her heart, she waved her hand and said, "Got it, is there any good news?"

Yun Yan put away her smiling face and said a little depressedly: "No, there is only bad news." ”

Xiao Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, bad news is also news, let's talk about it quickly." ”

"The restaurant opened two months ago, but business has not been good, and now it has not made a penny, and it is still losing money. Yun Yan said sadly, "Shopkeeper Cheng has been worried that you will not do it, and he often comes to you worriedly." ”

Xiaoyue was not sad, but smiled happily and said: "It's okay, the business of the restaurant will be better, you take the time to go to the restaurant and tell the shopkeeper that I will come back, and I will go to see him after a few days of rest, so that he can relax, and he can afford to lose money." ”

Yun Yan saw that Xiao Yue was calm and relaxed, and she was also a lot more relieved, and turned her worries into joy and said, "Well, I'll go and tell the shopkeeper Cheng today." ”

In the next few days, Xiaoyue finally had a few days of leisure, reading books in Anfu, sleeping, eating, and leaving things to Yun Yan and Xu Chengchang, and Wen Youyou was also busy with official business these days and had no time to look for her.

However, this night, Wen Youyou finally came to Anfu to find her and discuss things with her.

Wen Youyou arrived at Anfu and saw Xiao Yuezheng in the courtyard, sitting on a rattan chair, eating watermelon, looking at the book, so unhappy.

"Satsuki, you're really going to enjoy it. Wen Youyou saw that she was so tired, but she also relieved a lot.

Xiao Yue graciously handed a tooth of watermelon to Wen Youyou, "Yun Yan bought it at the market today, it's very fresh, I put it in the well and ice it for a day, you can try it, it's very sweet." ”

Wen Youyou didn't shirk, took it and ate two bites, and put it on the table.

Xiao Yue saw that he was a little serious, so she jokingly said: "Master Wen is here to check the post, my master was lazy and was caught by you." ”

Wen Youyou smiled and said, "Your master really doesn't fulfill his responsibilities, I've been busy for the past few days, and my feet haven't touched the ground." ”

Xiaoyue pretended to be aggrieved and said, "That's, I'm just lazy, please deduct my salary." ”

Wen Youyou knew that she was acting, so she ignored her, and found a rattan chair to sit down, "You don't ask me what I've been busy with lately." ”

Xiao Yue is not completely empty, she sent Xu Chengchang to the Wen Mansion every day to inquire about Wen Youyou's news, knowing that he has been busy reporting disaster relief to the imperial court recently, and it seems that he has done a good job and has been commended by Emperor Mu.

"I only know that Master Wen has been rewarded, and he is about to be promoted. Xiao Yue said with a smile, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Master Wen will think that my master's ability is limited, so he will change people." ”

Wen Youyou sat up straight when she heard this, sighed and said, "Xiaoyue, am I like this in your eyes?"

"What do you think?" asked Satsuki with a wink.

"I don't do things to get promoted and get rich. Wen Youyou stood up and looked at the bright moon above his head.

"But you're really getting promoted and getting rich now. Xiao Yue put down the watermelon in her hand and wiped the juice on her hand with a silk handkerchief, "And the higher your rank, the more you can do for the people, why not?"

After Wen Youyou listened, he looked down at Xiao Yue, "You still understand me." He chose to sit down, took the watermelon on the table and began to eat it.

"And what do you need me to do at the moment?"

Wen Youyou finished eating the tooth of watermelon, picked up Xiaoyue's silk handkerchief and wiped his hands while saying: "Tomorrow, the reward of the imperial court will come down, and I heard my boss Cheng Shangshu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs tell me that it is estimated that I will be transferred to the Ministry of Households." ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, she stood up happily and bowed to Wen Youyou, "Congratulations to Lord Wen for his ascension." "This household is the money bag of the imperial court, and it is not a popular yamen that the Ministry of Civil Affairs can compare.

Wen Youyou waved her hand to stop her and said, "It's starting to mess around again." He sat Satsuki down and continued, "I estimate that tomorrow many officials will also come to my house to give congratulatory gifts after the reward from the imperial court." I'm having a headache and don't know how to deal with it?"

"It's normal for officials to greet each other and give gifts, what are you afraid of?" asked Satsuki curiously.

"Do you remember when I told you about the factions of the officials in the court?"

Satsuki nodded, "Remember!"

"Because of my identity, everyone assumes that I am a Yue faction. And my drudgery this time was not favored, many people waited to see me mess things up, but I didn't expect to be appreciated by Emperor Mu in the end, which has aroused jealousy, especially the British faction. Tomorrow, there will be a lot of officials who will give gifts, and maybe someone has ulterior motives and will take the opportunity to trouble me. ”

"It's possible. Xiao Yue thought for a while, "This officialdom is dark, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, do you have any ideas?"

Wen Youyu said in embarrassment: "I don't want to be at home tomorrow, so I can avoid it, but it's easy to offend people by doing so." ”

Xiao Yue said: "This is not a way to hide, as the saying goes, you can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school." It doesn't work. ”

Wen Youyou sighed and said, "It's just that it's difficult to think of finding you for ideas, you have a lot of ideas, you can help me think about it." ”

Satsuki lowered her head and watched a few small fish swimming around in the pond.

Suddenly, she thought of a brilliant way to help Wen Youyou deal with this trouble.
