Yuan Qi Yu carefully calculated the accounts of this clothing business one by one.
However, his arithmetic was not very good, and the more he calculated, the more confused he became. Finally, he simply put down his pen and looked at Yuan Xuan and Yuan Nan'an beside him for help.
Yuan Xuan took over the account book and helped to recalculate the numbers, while Yuan Nan'an sat next to him and counted the copper coins they earned.
"I spent nearly a hundred taels on fabrics..." Yuan Xuan read out the last figure, then glanced at the money Yuan Nan'an had counted. "I earned a total of fifty-five strings of cash."
"So..." Yuan Qiyu looked at Yuan Xuan expectantly, and asked with wide eyes,
"Brother Xuan, how much did I earn?"
Yuan Xuan curled his lips slightly, circled a number on the rice paper with a pen, and handed it to him.
Yuan Qiyu took a look, his eyes lit up immediately, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
"Wow! Did you earn forty taels?"
His eyes were as bright as stars and his voice was filled with a hint of joy.
You know, Zhou Shan had said before that he could only earn ten taels of silver at most from a business trip.
Now, he actually made forty taels, which is simply a miracle!
It seems that he is indeed a genius in business! With just a small investment, he made so much money!
Yuan Nan'an tried to hold it in, but couldn't help laughing, and looked at him with a smirk in his eyes.
"How can you say you made a profit? Little brat, you've lost over forty taels and you don't even know it!"
"Loss?" Yuan Qiyu's expression froze instantly. He blinked and stared at the paper in Yuan Xuan's hand. The smile on his face gradually froze into a bitter melon. "Impossible..."
Yuan Xuan shook his head and rubbed his head with a smile, "That's right, Xiaoyu, you lost a lot of money!"
Yuan Qiyu was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the two people laughing together, muttering, "This business is too difficult..."
Just then Yuan Heng came back and took a look curiously.
"One hundred, fifty-five... This is... a loss of more than forty taels?"
Yuan Qi Yu lay on the table, wanting to cry but unable to.
He thought he had a talent for business...
Yuan Heng touched his head and said, "You are still so young, learn more!"
…
Helian Yu has been with Yuan Musheng since he delivered the letter about Zhizhi.
He told Yuan Musheng how he discovered his father's secret and how he went to the capital to meet Mrs. Huo.
He had been holding these things in for a long time and finally found a suitable person to talk to.
Yuan Musheng looked at Helian Yu's thin appearance and knew that he must have experienced great torment and pain in his heart. After hearing that he went to the Huo family ancestral hall, Yuan Musheng also lamented that he had not made the wrong friends.
Knowing that Huo Yan's business was done, Yuan Musheng took Helian Yu to find him.
When they arrived, they heard Yuan Heng's voice before they even entered the door.
"Brother Yan, please help me!" Yuan Heng was begging Huo Yan to go to the military camp with him.
Now Huo Yan has nominally been dismissed from his position as general, and Yuan Heng is fully responsible for all military camp affairs.
But Yuan Heng was new here and was not familiar with many things, so Huo Yan would still help him.
Yuan Heng didn't mind.
It was only after he came here that he realized how difficult it was to be a general.
Daily patrols, defense deployment, intelligence gathering, training and rectification, city construction, and material storage...
Almost all matters, big or small, have to go through the general's hands.
If Huo Yan hadn't helped him, he would have been extremely busy.
Huo Yan sat steadily in his chair, not even a frown moving, his eyes calm, "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to train you, why would I interfere?"
Yuan Heng has been here for a few days and is familiar with most of the things he needs to do, except that military affairs are very busy.
Yuan Heng almost jumped up and down after hearing this, his face fell, and he stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yan's arm tightly.
"I already call you brother, so you should at least help me with half of the military affairs! You don't know, I'm so busy right now that I don't even have time to breathe!"
He originally thought that when he came to the northwest, he would have time to appreciate the scenery outside the Great Wall, but now he has to squeeze in time even to see Yuan Qiyu and those little guys.
He had heard that Yuan Nan'an and his siblings were planning to go to the grassland.
He also wants to go...
But he was too embarrassed to say it directly, thinking that Huo Yan has always had a strong sense of responsibility, so it should be no problem to ask him to help.
But for some reason, Huo Yan returned to the general's mansion as soon as it got dark these days.
There's clearly so much to do, but he just left it all to him. I don't know why he's in such a hurry to come back...
Yuan Heng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Huo Yan didn't respond, but just looked at him with a half-smile.
He was so frightened by being stared at that he just made up his mind: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, I've already called you, why don't you help me share some of the burden!"
When Huo Yan heard this, his gaze paused slightly, and he stared at him with an ambiguous smile in his eyes.
Yuan Heng felt uneasy when he was looked at. He couldn't help but let go of his hand, took a step back, and said angrily,
"If you don't want to help, then don't! I'll go tell my sister and see what she says!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Heng turned around and walked out the door, but unexpectedly bumped into Yuan Musheng who was about to come in.
He rubbed his forehead and looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone instantly became a little more intimate.
"Ah Sheng! Why are you here?"
Yuan Musheng was stunned by the sudden enthusiasm of his uncle and subconsciously took a step back, revealing Helian Yu standing behind him.
When Yuan Heng saw Helian Yu, the playful smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his expression changed, and he immediately returned to his unattainable look.
Helian Yu had no reaction to Yuan Heng's change. He just raised his eyes slightly, passed him, and fell directly on Huo Yan who was sitting in the room.
Huo Yan also looked over, and their eyes met in the air, with an elusive depth in their calmness.
At this moment, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly froze and the air became heavy.
Yuan Musheng coughed dryly to ease the atmosphere, then said to Huo Yan with a smile, "Uncle Huo, Brother Helian wants to talk to you."
Huo Yan nodded slightly, shifted his gaze away from Helian Yu, and said calmly, "Please come in."
Helian Yu was silent for a moment, then walked in.
Seeing this, Yuan Heng's eyes turned, and he immediately grabbed Yuan Musheng's wrist and said in a low voice:
"Ah Sheng, let them talk about their own things. You go with the emperor's uncle! Don't delay their important matters."
Before Yuan Musheng could react, Yuan Heng pulled him away.
He struggled a few times but failed to break free, so he could only resign himself to his fate and turned back to pat Helian Yu on the shoulder, revealing a helpless smile and whispering encouragement: "It's okay, you can do it!"
Helian Yu looked up at him, nodded gratefully, and then walked towards where Huo Yan was sitting.
Outside the house, Yuan Heng and Yuan Musheng had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.
