Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 94 Be direct

Madam Cui He was also watching nearby. "Master, take a break. You've been watching all day." She brought a cup of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and a plate of sugar-coated dried apricots. "Last month was the first month of the year. I was at home for the first half of the month. It's normal that it's not as good as the twelfth month."

Wen Yao put the account book down, drank a mouthful of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, ate a piece of dried apricot, and pinched her brows after swallowing it. "This is not bad compared to Master Jiu's shop. Once compared to Master Jiu's shop, your master will think we are really poor."

"The customers of the master's shop and Jiu Ye's shop are different. The master's shop is mainly commoners or slightly wealthy children, while Jiu Ye's shop is exclusively for nobles. It is normal for him to make more money," smiled Aunt Cui He, standing behind Wen Yao and squeezing her shoulders. "Does the master feel more comfortable?"

"Let someone else do it, Madam Cui, you should take a break too," Wen Yao patted Madam Cui's hand and called a palace maid over.

Madam Cui did not insist and stood beside Wen Yao with a smile, "Thank you for your grace, Master."

"Do we, master and servant, need to be so polite to each other? To be honest, it's normal that we don't earn as much as Master Jiu. There's no problem with these account books. Let's wait and see how the inn is doing next month." Wen Yao didn't plan to move the inn. She designed the inn carefully. If the income dropped next month, she would plan to make changes. If not, she would just leave it as it is for now.

"Our daily expenses are in full compliance with the rules. The daily food and clothing expenses of the princesses in the backyard are in full compliance with the rules for the princesses. If they are not enough, they can buy it themselves," Wen Yao looked at Cui He, "Madam Cui, how about this, you go and invite them over, and I will talk to them in person."

Cui He personally brought Wanyan, Zhaojia, and Hexike over. Wen Yao explained the rules, looked at Zhaojia who was about to speak, and raised her hand to stop her, "Listen to what I have to say. If you have any opinions, you can speak later. Your daily expenses have exceeded those of a concubine, which is against the rules. I only discovered it today when my master told me about it."

"Grandpa said that we should follow the rules from now on. If we exceed the limit, we should buy it ourselves. If it is still not enough, let me investigate it thoroughly and report to Grandpa, and he will handle it." Wen Yao smiled and looked at the three people. "Zhao Jia, if you have any opinions, you may as well tell me. I will report to Grandpa and let him make the decision."

The expression on Zhaojia's face was a little stiff. If she had just said "why", but now the concubine has moved out of the master, what should she say?

Why?

Because the silver was given by me!

How could she refute this? Zhao Jia looked at the two people beside her who were silent and smiled, "Madam is right. I have no objection." Since no one said anything, she would not be the first to speak out.

Hexi looked at Zhaojia, what a coward! If this continues, we really have to follow the rules. Looking at Wanyan, who had never spoken, she smiled and said, "My Lord was generous in the past and allowed me to treat you like this. It is my blessing. Now that Fu Jin is in charge of all expenses, it is right to follow the rules."

"Then you are wrong. I also want to give your wife's share, but Master won't allow it, Hexike. It's not me who says that everything should be done according to the rules. This is what Master said. It seems that you have objections." Wen Yao would not give anyone the opportunity to be sarcastic. She turned her head and looked at Madam Cui He. "Madam Cui, write down what Hexike said. When Master comes back, tell him. If anyone else has objections, this Madam will not add or omit a word. Report it to Master in full!"

Seeing the three people's faces were stiff, especially Heshik who had already knelt down, "You don't have to do this. If it weren't for me saying it myself, even if I were your wife, I would not deprive you of the generous treatment I gave you. You are very dissatisfied with my rules, right? Then I will tell me."

"No!" Wanyan could no longer remain calm and said hurriedly, "Fujin has misunderstood. Sister Hexike didn't mean that. Sister meant that we should follow the rules. Everything I did was right. Fujin is generous and has fought for the three of us until now. I am very grateful."

Wen Yao waved her hands, "No need to explain, I will tell you everything you said. I will not tolerate any injustice, nor will I tolerate your weirdness. I will not take the blame for others. I am not a good person. Okay, I have said everything I need to say. When I come back, I will tell you and I will summon you. Go down now."

After the three of them left, Heshik finally showed some panic on her face, "My two sisters, Fu Jin misunderstood what I meant. What should I do?"

Zhao Jia did think of one thing. This way she could see the master. After all, she had no objection. It was Heshik who had an objection. It was indeed inappropriate to be sarcastic. Even if Heshik really didn't mean that, it had nothing to do with her. She had said that she agreed very much.

Zhao Jia was very happy after she figured it out. Seeing He Xike's panic, she shook her head and said, "When you see me, tell me clearly. Don't worry. Fu Jin will tell me everything. I will know what you mean. I have something else to do, so I will go back first."

An unexpected gain! Zhao Jia couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Wanyan looked helpless, "Sister, I don't know how to comfort you. Fu Jin said it was my father who proposed it. How dare you blame Fu Jin? You really shouldn't say that."

"Sister, you know I'm not good at talking. I really didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that everything should be done according to the rules," Hexik never expected that the wife would be so direct. She thought that by saying this, it would at least arouse the anger of that fool Zhaojia, and then she would reap the benefits. However, she didn't expect to get herself into trouble.

Wanyan shook her head. "I don't know what you should do. Sigh, just tell me when the time comes. I'd better think about it carefully and don't make the same mistake again. I'm going back now and take care of the things around me."

When turning around, Wanyan's eyes were filled with smiles, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. With Hesik taking the lead, this time it would be a blessing in disguise.

She has money, so she is not short of these things. So far, the most important thing for her is to meet the master and give birth to a daughter!

As for the eldest son? Wanyan had never thought about it, but it would be best if he could be born. However, in Wanyan's view, the identity of a concubine's eldest son was too complicated. He might not grow up even if he was born, but it was different for a concubine's eldest daughter!

Being the eldest son, yet a daughter, she will not compete with the eldest son for the position of heir, which is just right for her.

After the three people left, Nanny Cui He stood beside Wen Yao and said, "The Hexike family is from the Ordos tribe, and belongs to the western desert together with the Khorchin tribe. With the Queen Mother here, the Hexike family will not be punished too much, but this person is not very peaceful. If he is not suppressed this time, he will be more restless in the future."
