"Xingchen, I haven't finished settling my accounts yet. I need to finish reviewing today's ledgers quickly. The month is almost over, and I still need to pay the monthly wages to the shop assistants and the factory workers. I can't afford to waste time; they're waiting to win money back."
Most importantly, she was also waiting to calculate the accounts and see how many silver notes she could get back this month; that was what made her happiest.
"Then you do the calculations. I'll go check on how the things I asked Shuyan to arrange are going."
Yong Xingchen thought that he had entrusted everything to his subordinates, and he didn't know if they could complete the task. He felt uneasy if he didn't go and check on them, worried that something unexpected might happen.
"I've made arrangements for them. Some of them didn't want to leave the Marquis's mansion, so I simply had Shuyan send them to the estate. Anyway, they'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of their lives, so it's fine to take care of them. Xingchen shouldn't blame me, right?"
Yong Xingchen smiled, looked at Baozhu who seemed a little nervous, patted him on the back, and said gently, "What's so strange about this? Besides, this wasn't my idea, so what does it have to do with you? Don't worry, I'll always support you."
Tang Baozhu never expected that he would be so easy to talk to, and that his bottom line with her was getting lower and lower. She felt that it wouldn't be long before she could even poop on his neck.
Of course, this is a metaphor; she couldn't possibly actually ride on his neck—she would never do such a thing.
"Star, you are so kind."
Tang Baozhu kissed him hard on the cheek as a thank you gift.
"Stop fooling around. It's not dark yet. What if you cause a fire? Now that things are settled, I'll go to the study in the front yard to handle official business. I won't disturb you while you're looking at the accounts."
The fire that had just died down seemed to be about to reignite, so it was best to leave quickly and go back to the front yard to calm down.
After Yong Xingchen left, Tang Baozhu quickly took out her account book and continued calculating. At this moment, she only cared about how much silver she could earn, and she put everything else out of her mind.
Tang Baozhu's eyes lit up as she calculated, even though the things in her space were already incredibly rich, she still really enjoyed the feeling of making money.
After calculating, I realized that I could receive much more money this month than before, at least around 300,000 taels.
Thinking that his box was almost full of silver notes, he wondered if he could save half of the silver notes and print the other half to exchange for gold and silver.
It seems more worthwhile to hoard gold and silver. In the future, I can take my son to the place where I hoard gold and silver and proudly tell him, "This is the empire your mother built for you." Just thinking about that scene makes me quite excited.
In order to realize that great ambition one day, I have decided to work harder in the future and come up with more prescriptions.
Next time, I'll try to get some beauty and skincare recipes. Women in ancient times had an easy way to make money. To avoid falling out of favor, they would pile all sorts of expensive things onto their faces. As long as it was effective, I don't think anyone would refuse.
The more Tang Baozhu thought about it, the more she liked the idea, so she decided to wait until Yong Xingchen returned to discuss it with him.
The only thing I'm a little worried about is that with such a good business, if I'm not careful, people might slander me. So I need to be especially careful in this regard.
The decision was made to release another robot later. Only this robot has a sophisticated computer in its brain, capable of calculating everything in advance and devising a solution.
After finishing all the accounts, it was getting dark. I thought it was getting late, so I decided to go see my son tomorrow.
When I went to pay my respects this morning, I checked on my son and he seemed fine, so I wasn't worried about him.
The wet nurse next to her was controlled by her puppet axe, so there was no need to worry about it harming the child. Therefore, she didn't go to see the child in the afternoon, and she wasn't worried at all.
"Xia Ju, hurry to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the meal. If the meal is ready, have them bring it up now. Xia Zhu, go to the study in the front yard and call the young master back for dinner. If he has any unfinished official business, let him eat first. Don't let him starve himself."
"Yes, Madam, I'll go right away."
The account books inside the house had already been tidied up by the servants, and the entire study was spotless. After washing up a bit and cleaning the ink off her hands, she sat on the stool in the living room, quietly waiting for Yong Xingchen's arrival.
Yong Xingchen didn't keep Tang Baozhu waiting long and returned quickly. By then, the dishes were being served one after another, and it was almost time to eat.
"You can eat earlier if you're hungry in the future, instead of waiting for me."
Despite saying that, seeing Baozhu waiting for him, Yong Xingchen was still quite happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, making his smile more genuine.
Tang Baozhu certainly wouldn't say that she had just finished working too, but she knew what men wanted to hear.
"Without you eating with me, the food doesn't taste as good. I still prefer the feeling of eating with you. You can't let me down."
One day, Baozhu couldn't eat without him by her side. Besides feeling sorry for him, she thought that she must ask someone around her to remind her to go back to eat when it was time. She was worried that if no one reminded her, she would be too engrossed in her work and forget about it.
"Okay, I'll try my best to come back with you for every meal from now on. But I can't make it for lunch. There's a lot going on at the yamen. If I come back for lunch, there's too much to do. I'll have to ask Baozhu to take care of me."
Hearing his explanation, Tang Baozhu quickly shook her head, "I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably. If you have important matters to attend to, then you should definitely finish those matters first. I won't mind."
"It's so good to have the pearl here."
The two then focused on eating. In ancient times, wealthy families generally followed the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping. They would follow the rule while eating, but not when sleeping. How could they possibly sleep in the same bed without talking?
After eating and drinking their fill, they sat down on a low couch, one person on each side, with tea, snacks, and fruit placed in the middle. Each person picked up a book and read it, which served as a way to digest their food.
After all the servants had left, Tang Baozhu quickly told Yong Xingchen about her idea of opening a rouge shop.
