Chapter 176 I'm going to vomit
Qixiayuan
Qiao Jingru was sitting in Lu Xiang's room looking at the account books. Now, she not only had to look at the account books of the mansion, but also the harvest of the farm and the accounts of various shops.
She regretted listening to Lu Xiang and buying so many shops.
It’s really a headache.
Liangchen was dozing off with his head on the side, and Mujin came into the room to add tea to Qiao Jingru.
Qiao Jingru put down the account book and rubbed her sore eyes.
Mu Jin advised: "Madam, take a rest for your eyes. It won't be too late to look again tomorrow."
"Your young lady is too lazy. I'm so miserable." Qiao Jingru wailed.
But even though she complained, she still went to do it after Lu Xiang said that.
Hibiscus covered her lips and chuckled.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the account book and changed slightly.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qiao Jingru looked up at her and happened to see Mu Jin frowning.
"Mujin, can you read the account books?"
Mu Jin quickly retracted her gaze and knelt down in fear: "Madam, please forgive me, I didn't mean to look at it."
Qiao Jingru put down the teacup and pulled her up: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else. Tell me quickly, do you understand it?"
Mu Jin twisted her fingers and lowered her eyes and said, "Before I sold myself into slavery, my father was an accountant. I followed him for a few years and learned a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingru immediately placed the account book in front of Mu Jin and said, "Help me take a look at this account. I always feel like something is wrong, but after calculating each item one by one, there is nothing wrong."
Mu Jin immediately pointed at one of the places and said, "Madam, the amount of money for this purchase is not right. The cost of purchasing the goods is too high, and the profit from selling them is reduced..."
After she said this, Qiao Jingru suddenly understood.
"So the shopkeeper took advantage of the situation."
"Yes." Mu Jin nodded: "In fact, it is understandable for subordinates to seek personal gain, but it is okay to be a little greedy. If they go too far, then their character will be considered."
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
If you want others to work wholeheartedly for you, you have to turn a blind eye sometimes, but you can't be too indulgent, otherwise you will be bullying your master.
As they were talking, the door was pushed open.
Lu Xiang was stunned when he saw Qiao Jingru in the room: "How long has sister-in-law been here?"
Qiao Jingru did not answer Lu Xiang's question, but said excitedly: "Xiangxiang, your courtyard is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"Ah?" Lu Xiang was a little confused.
"Mu Jin, Mu Jin is good at settling accounts, better than me." Qiao Jingru praised without reservation.
Mu Jin lowered her eyes shyly: "I don't deserve the praise from the eldest young lady. I... I only know a little bit."
"You are too modest." Qiao Jingru said, "Even if you are a daughter of a merchant family, you may not learn to this level. Accounting is not only about learning, talent is also important."
Qiao Jingru admits that she does not have that talent, and everything she has now is what she learned in elementary school.
After learning how to read accounts from her father for a few years, Mu Jin can now see problems at a glance. With more training, her ability will definitely be astonishing.
Lu Xiang didn't doubt her and looked at Mu Jin in surprise.
"You've been in my courtyard for so long, and I didn't know you were capable of this."
"It's the eldest young lady who praised me."
Lu Xiang looked at Mu Jin, his eyes sparkling: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to stay here to serve me..."
Halfway through her words, Mu Jin fell to her knees with a thud, frightened.
"Miss Third, I...I..." She didn't know what she had done wrong. "Please don't chase me away.
I will leave now."
Qiao Jingru didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she pulled him up: "I'm not chasing you away, I just have other plans for you."
"You go to the Qiao family. I'll give you a month to learn how to read and calculate accounts with the people assigned by the eldest young master of the Qiao family. I believe that with your foundation and your talent, this will not be a difficult task." Lu Xiang said.
Mu Jin stared at Lu Xiang in a daze, and her calm heart was stirred by ripples because of her words.
"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"Go back and pack your things. I'll take you to the Qiao Mansion tomorrow morning." Qiao Jingru said.
Mu Jin responded and left happily.
After everyone left, Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang and asked, "Are you planning to reuse Mu Jin?"
She knew that the silk shop that Lu Xiang wanted to open was not a simple shop, otherwise she would not have invited embroiderers and weavers from all over the country to come to Beijing. They were all women, so the person in charge had to be a woman as well, and she had to be able to keep accounts, which made it even harder to find one.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Whether she can make it or not depends on her ability. Trust people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust. If Mu Jin dares to betray me, I will not let her off easily."
But before that, she must not lose her kindness towards humanity.
After talking about Mu Jin, Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang with a gossipy look on her face: "How is Wu'an Marquis's Mansion? Is the young lady there easy to get along with?"
The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, and she finally understood why Qiao Jingru was still sitting in her room so late.
She took off her shoes, got on the bed, sat face to face with Qiao Jingru, and excitedly recounted what had happened in the He Mansion.
"...I guess when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll hear the whole capital spreading rumors about He Zhimiao's ominous news."
Qiao Jingru was dumbfounded: "So exciting?"
This is a big deal, right?
Now He Zhimiao became famous in the capital.
"Sister-in-law, now that you've heard enough gossip, you can go back to sleep."
Qiao Jingru glared at her and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Having said that, he went downstairs, put on his shoes and left.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard Lu Xiang shouting behind me: "Sister-in-law, the account book, take the account book with you."
The one who responded to her was Qiao Jingru, who ran faster than a rabbit. Her voice could be heard from afar: "Please help me finish reading one more point. I am about to vomit."
Lu Xiang pounded the table.
She also felt like vomiting after watching it.
After thinking for a while, she called Yunzha and asked her to move the account books on the table to Mujin's room: "Let her finish reading these tomorrow before leaving."
Yun Zhe: “…”
Why are all the masters lazier than each other?
…
A few days later, Ah Man brought a doctor into the Lu Mansion.
Manager Du thought the man looked familiar: "Ah Man, who is this?"
"The doctor who came to treat the third young lady when she suddenly fell into a coma some time ago." Ah Man said.
Manager Du immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
I remembered it was that doctor with an extraordinary temperament.
Looking at it again during the day, it seems even more luxurious, but that's not the point.
"Why did you ask for a doctor?"
Ah Man said, "Miss San felt a little dizzy when she woke up early, so please ask the doctor to come and take a look."
Manager Du nodded hurriedly: "If that's the case, then go quickly and don't delay the Third Miss's treatment."
Ah Man led the group towards Qixia Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the yard, she rushed to Lu Xiang's room: "Miss San, Miss San, His Highness is too bullying."
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiang asked.
