Chapter 584 Who Made That Person King Jin?
Zhu Yu smiled and handed her the account book, saying, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We are all good at work and will never eat for free.
Keep it safe and don't let the girl make a loss."
Zhuzhi said, "Even if she eats plain rice, it's not a big deal. After all, the young lady can afford it."
Listening to their chatter, Song Yanxi said thoughtfully, "It's not okay for them to stay at home and become old maids. I can't afford it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu quickly flipped open the top ledger and handed it to her, saying, "Look, young lady! The net profit from this tavern last month alone is enough to buy a hundred or so of us."
Knowing that Song Yanxi didn't like this statement, Zhuzhi quickly said: "If you continue at this pace, it won't be long before you become the second richest person in Da'an."
A few days ago, she followed Zhu Yu to inspect the shop and realized how big their aunt's business had grown in the past two years.
This time, a mountain of gold was given to the girl as a dowry.
The prosperous shops on the streets of the downtown area can make a net profit of up to one hundred taels a day, and even after deducting various expenses, the total is still an astronomical figure.
Whoever marries one of these girls will be bringing home a lump of gold.
Not to mention that you don’t have to worry about making a living in this life, even your descendants will have endless money.
Thinking of this, Zhuzhi even felt that Mo Jinchuan had taken a great advantage.
Not to mention those material possessions, just the girl's superb medical skills are something that many people may not be able to obtain even if they spend all their wealth.
No matter how you look at it, the girls are the ones who suffer more.
Song Yanxi had no idea of Zhuzhi's little thoughts.
At this moment, she wanted to know more about why Wen Qi came this time.
Before yesterday, she was just suspicious about the fact that Zhuang Shihan and Wen Qi were old acquaintances.
But when Zhuang Shihan accurately pointed out his fatal weakness, she had to think more deeply.
Perhaps the rumors spread by the people in the border town were not groundless.
There is indeed some connection between her and Wen Qi.
In this way, it makes sense that Zhuang Shihan couldn't tolerate "Jiaojiao", who looked similar to her.
Wen Qi deliberately left people behind in front of the two armies, most likely as a warning.
Just as he did today.
As expected, now, in addition to discussing the fact that Mo Jinchuan accepted the beauty in the street, the people are more talking about the fact that the beauty looks similar to Zhuang Shihan.
There are indeed many people in the world who look alike.
But no matter how many times it happens, the people are not fools and will not be fooled so easily.
Song Yanxi was just thinking about it when she caught a glimpse of a figure rushing in from the door, calling out "Sister" sweetly.
She raised her eyes, smiled and asked, "Ling'er, why are you free to come here today?"
If I remember correctly, General Qiu returned to the capital with the diplomatic mission today. He should have met with His Majesty by now and it is time for him to go home and report his safety.
This little girl always calls her brother "big brother" all the time, and the brother and sister have a very good relationship.
I finally waited for General Qiu to come back, but instead of waiting at home, why did he dare to run away?
Qiu Ling sat down in front of Song Yanxi and said hurriedly, "Good sister, please give me a sip of water."
Zhuzhi quickly poured a glass of water and asked with concern, "Where did you come back from, Miss Ling'er?"
Qiu Ling didn't have time to speak and drank two glasses of water in one breath. He finally came to his senses.
She looked at Song Yanxi and asked excitedly, "Sister, guess what I heard on the way here?"
Song Yanxi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, chuckling softly, "It must be something interesting that makes you care so much."
"Interesting, indeed."
Just thinking about it, Qiu Ling couldn't help but frown.
She laughed for a while longer before finally taking a breath and saying, "The shop in Shuzhuang was smashed up."
Song Yanxi asked, "Who did this?"
Qiu Ling blinked and said, "Who else could it be? It must have been one of our own people who did it."
Afraid that she didn't understand, she explained, "Princess Shihan has been out for the past few years and has basically not been involved in the affairs of the shop, leaving all power to the managers under her.
I heard that Guan Shuzhuang is a gambler who spends his days in the casino instead of doing any work. When he can't pay off his debts, he starts to embezzle money from the account."
Although Song Yanxi didn't know much about business, she knew that Shuzhuang was one of the best businesses in Beijing.
Even now, many diners come from far away just for that taste.
With such a good business, even if the manager embezzled some money, it wouldn't cause such a big fuss.
Listening to Song Yanxi's question, Qiu Ling scratched his head and said, "Yeah, isn't it said that Princess Shihan is doing very well in business and has so much money that she can't spend it all in several lifetimes?"
She coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "Sister, don't be angry. I used to go to Shuzhuang with a few sisters to eat often."
Then she added, "Don't worry, sister. I haven't been there since they got together."
Realizing that this was too harsh, Qiu Ling quickly spat twice and said, "I didn't say anything, and my sister didn't hear anything either. But you can't complain to my mother."
Song Yanxi smiled and nodded, recalling the dowry that Zhuang Shihan sent to the general's mansion that day.
Even my grandfather, the richest man in China, might not be willing to spend such a sum of money.
Judging from her personality, she doesn't seem like someone so foolish as to give away all her worth before even entering the door.
She must have assets on her hands.
Qiu Ling couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and pulled Song Yanxi's sleeve and said, "Sister, you're not busy right now anyway, come to my house and try my mother's cooking."
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to refuse, she continued, "My mother specifically asked me to come and invite you, sister. She said that if you don't go, I will stay in the Princess's Mansion."
She shook her sleeves lightly and said eagerly, "I haven't seen my brother for three years. I'm sure I can't bear it, right?"
"Ling'er, why don't we do it another day?" Song Yanxi looked more embarrassed.
What was she, an outsider, going to do on the day when their family of four was reunited?
No matter how you look at it, this is inappropriate.
Hearing this, Qiu Ling said anxiously, "Sister, don't get me wrong. My mother has already accepted that you can't be my sister-in-law."
She sighed softly and said helplessly: "If it were someone else, my mother would have to find a way to poach her and make my sister her daughter-in-law.
But there is no way, because that person is King Jin."
Qiu Ling looked back at the door and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin is both a teacher and a father to my brother.
Don’t say that my sister doesn’t like him, even if she really does, he wouldn’t dare to fight for her.”
Song Yanxi could not deny this.
After all, she had seen this with her own eyes in the border town.
General Qiu truly respected and feared the prince.
But is it really appropriate for this little girl to say this about her own brother?
Qiu Ling stuck out her tongue and said with a playful smile: "If I don't tell my sister, my brother won't know."
Seeing that it was getting late, she urged, "Sister, let's go quickly, otherwise the food will be cold by the time we get home."
Song Yanxi declined politely, "I have an appointment today, so I won't go. I'll visit my uncle and aunt another day."
Seeing that she was determined not to go, Qiu Ling became even more anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, just come with me. My brother brought some things for you."
