Feng Yuheng turned around and said to the other people in the store, "You all heard what I just said. I will not say the same thing again in the future. I will only use my eyes to see. [ads: This site has changed its new URL, shorthand method: ,..] If anyone has ill intentions, pack up and leave as soon as possible. If you continue to stay with a fluke mentality, if I find out, it will not be as simple as reporting to the authorities."
Feng Yuheng's first appearance was a shock to everyone in Baicaotang. No one expected that a twelve-year-old girl would have such courage. The second young lady of the Feng family showed off her power in front of people for the first time, leaving a deep impression on everyone who witnessed this scene.
Feng Yuheng also instructed Wang Lin to make a statistics of all the fake medicinal materials sold by the former shopkeeper, and to reclassify and count the existing medicinal materials. He also searched out a private account book and gave it to Qingyu to keep with her. Then he left Baicaotang with the two maids.
She read the address of the next jewelry store to Huang Quan according to the deed in her hand. The little girl who grew up in the capital immediately nodded to indicate that she knew where the place was, and took Feng Yuheng and the other person to the jewelry store.
Xuan Tianming, who was sitting in the teahouse opposite, raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands on the wheelchair he was sitting in. The wheelchair suddenly flew up and rushed out of the window on the second floor of the teahouse. When it landed in the open space, it just happened to meet Bai Ze who was returning.
The jewelry store has a very grand name: Phoenix Pavilion.
Feng Yuheng has a deep affection for the word "Phoenix", not only because her surname is Feng, but also because she has a phoenix-shaped birthmark on her wrist in both her past and present lives.
As usual, the three of them stopped not far from the door and looked into the Phoenix Pavilion together.
This is a two-story attic. It is said that the first floor sells common items that women from ordinary families can afford, while the second floor is specially used to receive ladies from famous families and noble ladies.
"Hmph." Feng Yuheng snorted coldly. Looking at the endless stream of guests at the Phoenix Pavilion, he really couldn't connect it with the negative asset account book handed over by Shen. "It is said that this place loses three thousand taels of silver every month?"
Qingyu, who was standing beside her, watched for a while, and suddenly whispered to herself: "In the time it takes to make an incense stick, fifteen people went in on the first floor, twelve of whom made deals; three young ladies and two ladies went up to the second floor, and it seems that only one returned disappointed. In this way, the average transaction volume of people on the first floor is five taels, and each person on the second floor is fifty taels. The total transaction volume of this Phoenix Pavilion should be between five hundred and eight hundred taels per day. If there is a noble person who is generous, it is possible to make a thousand taels a day. After deducting 50% of the cost, there should be at least a surplus of three hundred taels per day."
Huang Quan looked at Qingyu in surprise, "Too amazing!"
Feng Yuheng didn't expect Qingyu to have such thoughts. After thinking for a while, he asked, "But has anyone in your family ever been engaged in business?"
She had noticed this when she was selecting the first-class maids. These maids did not have the physical qualities that were unique to servants like the rough maids. Instead, they were thinner and more delicate. Now that she saw Qingyu was calculating such details, she naturally thought of her background.
When she asked this, Qingyu sighed helplessly: "To be honest, Second Miss, I was also a daughter of a wealthy family. My father was in the silk business in another province, and I learned to do accounts from him since I was a child. At that time, my mother and I lived in a courtyard with three entrances, and our family had nearly 20 servants. But that year, my father encountered bandits, and not only were his goods robbed, but he also lost his life. When the news came back, my mother was learning to cook a dish that my father loved with the cook, and she accidentally burned the kitchen, and soon the whole house was burned. My mother died in the fire, and I was rescued by a servant in the family and sold to a man."
When Qingyu said this, there was only a hint of sadness on her face, without too much grief, as if she was telling someone else's story.
But Feng Yuheng knew that the more such a person was, the more it showed that the incident had dealt a heavy blow to her. Qingyu just had no way to change. If she wanted to live, she had to forget everything in the past. From a rich lady to a prostitute, this was her only way out.
Feng Yuheng held Qingyu's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "It's okay, it's all over."
Qingyu smiled at her gratefully, "Thank you, Second Miss."
"Qingyu." Feng Yuheng suggested, "Since you know all this, then you can help me take care of the accounts of these three shops from now on! Anyway, I don't know much either, and I don't trust outsiders."
Qingyu's eyes finally lit up a bit, and she couldn't hide her excitement: "Is what you said true, Miss?"
Seeing Feng Yuheng nodded, she also nodded three times, "Then I will accept it. Don't worry, Miss. I may not be very good at serving people, but I will definitely have no problem managing the accounts. My father taught me to read the account books since I could speak. From childhood to adulthood, I didn't learn needlework for girls, but I learned the ability to read the accounts."
When she said that, Feng Yuheng felt more relieved. She didn't expect that by adopting a maid, she would also adopt an accountant. This was really great.
Huang Quan also smiled and put his arm around Qingyu's shoulder, "That's perfect. You can also take care of all the good stuff in Tongshengxuan. It's my biggest headache to take care of those things."
Qingyu finally got the job that she liked the most and was best at. She became more lively and hooked Huangquan's shoulder with her hand. She also imitated her tone and said, "If Sister Wangchuan heard this, she would definitely scold you."
Feng Yuheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene. It would be great if everyone around her could be as beautiful as this.
Who wants to fight with each other all day long? Who wants to face the scheming of people in the yard as soon as they open their eyes?
If possible, she would rather take Yao and Zirui back to the mountain village in the northwest, a paradise on earth, where they could live a life without worries. How wonderful it would be.
But it doesn't work.
She frowned, not only was there a Feng Mansion, but also the person she had always been thinking about. Xuan Tianming, An had told her this name, why did the man named Xuan Tianming become completely disabled and his appearance was ruined?
Some truths have to be revealed step by step, some accounts have to be settled one by one, and some grudges have to be avenged one by one.
Suddenly, there were several tugs at the hem of the skirt.
Feng Yuheng was startled and looked down, only to see a child of about four or five years old grabbing the hem of her skirt and shaking it.
The child was chubby and had a very cute round face.
She bent down happily, pinched the child's cheek, and asked him, "What's the matter?"
The child said word by word in a baby voice: "An elder brother asked me to tell you that you should go to the Xianya Tower in the center of the lake and have a seat."
After saying that, he turned and ran away, shouting to a young woman on the side of the road, "Mom, mom, I've memorized all of them."
Feng Yuheng stood there in a daze. The three words "Xian Ya Tower" kept flashing in her mind, along with a purple lotus and a handsome face that she had memorized since she was in the mountains.
That day when Madam Zhou came to Feng Mansion to propose marriage, she had mentioned this place to her. Now...
Is it him?
