"So...beautiful."
"Yes, I think it looks good too."
The housekeeper suddenly realized what was happening.
She quickly added, "Mistress, the late master was also very handsome."
He Youyou shrugged: "What does it have to do with me? I've never even seen it."
She's never seen it before.
I've only ever seen coffins for deceased husbands, and those were nailed shut.
She patted the housekeeper on the shoulder: "I'm going to take a nap. You can arrange for Ah Li to come over and have dinner with me tonight."
As Butler Qian watched He Youyou's departing figure, he felt a mix of emotions.
The sudden appearance of a handsome young man in the manor is not a good thing.
That's very inappropriate.
He turned around and found a quiet spot to release the pigeons again.
A note was tied to the pigeon's leg: "Today, the mistress bought a handsome young male prostitute from a brothel. He is incomparably handsome, with a heavenly appearance that makes one forget the mundane world."
The housekeeper couldn't help but use three four-character phrases to emphasize the boy's good looks.
He Youyou said she was going to take a nap, but actually she went back to her space.
She went through the Han family's account books in the study.
The computer and office equipment in the study are still usable.
He Youyou used a computer to create a new electronic ledger, a family ledger and an investment ledger.
A household ledger records household expenses, while an investment ledger records investment income and expenses.
Electronic ledgers are easy to modify, convenient for statistics and management, and can automatically generate reports.
The proceeds from the sale of the land amounted to six thousand taels of silver. After deducting donations to the academy and the money spent on buying Ali, five thousand seven hundred and ninety taels remained.
The Han family originally had more than 50,000 taels of silver in their accounts.
This number was beyond her expectations.
In ancient times, the annual income of wealthy families was between two hundred and one thousand taels of silver.
With high income comes many expenses.
With the need to keep slaves and servants, and the social obligations involved, coupled with the large number of people in wealthy households, no more than half of their money could be saved each year.
According to the account books, the Han family's annual income was only a few hundred taels of silver.
How did they manage to save up 50,000 taels?
The account book has no record of the source, so we can only guess that it is ancestral property.
My ancestors were wealthy.
He Youyou spent the afternoon busy in the study, and when the clock showed it was almost four o'clock, she came out of the space.
Shenshi is also called Bushi or Xishi.
It's dinnertime.
The Han family's courtyard is a three-section courtyard.
The meal is served in the main hall, which is the central hall.
When He Youyou arrived at the central hall, Ali had already been waiting with his hands at his sides for quite some time.
She sat at the head of the table and patted the seat next to her: "Ali, come and sit down."
Butler Qian had arrived early as well, staring at Ah Li like a thief.
Seeing He Youyou ask Ah Li to sit down, he couldn't help but frown.
Ahri was still a slave, and it was against the rules for her to eat at the same table as her master.
"Mistress..."
"Manager Qian, have someone set out a bowl and chopsticks for Ali."
"……yes."
Butler Qian: What can I say? I'm just a butler.
He Youyou ate while observing.
Although Ahri comes from a humble background, she eats very politely.
Focus on eating, without saying a word.
When picking up food, they only pick from the plate in front of them and never reach for food further away.
He Youyou reached out and replaced the plate of meat and vegetables in front of him.
"You're still growing, so eat more meat."
Ah Li's eyes flickered slightly: "Madam Xie."
He Youyou stared at him, looking him up and down.
This action had a different meaning in the eyes of Butler Qian.
The housekeeper felt a knot in his heart.
Before the knot was untied, He Youyou took over.
She reached out and pinched Ah Li's arm, then pinched Ah Li's waist and abdomen.
Butler Qian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his mind racing with frustration: What kind of behavior is this! What kind of behavior is this!
