Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 95

Xue Lan looked at the land deeds again. Some of the shops were owned by the Duke's Mansion, while others were rented. He said, "Try to find a way to sell these rented shops, and sell all the shops belonging to the Duke's Mansion!"

"okay!"

Zhang Yong was extremely gratified, his wife was finally enlightened.

It's not that he didn't propose it before, but Xue Shi rejected it every time.

In her eyes, not all shops have to make money, and sometimes they are more talking points at ladies' parties.

Speaking to the outside world, the business of the Duke's Mansion is spread all over the north and south of the Jin Dynasty, covering a wide range of areas.

Over time, no one knew that Ningguo's mansion was rich and wealthy, comparable to an imperial merchant, which directly led to the fact that when Song Lian went out to borrow money, everyone would either ridicule him and refuse to borrow money, or take the opportunity to kill him fiercely and demand extremely high interest. .

Otherwise, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house, but the couple are digging holes for each other and jumping on each other.

Several people have been busy all afternoon, but they just figured it out.

Gu Qingyou lay on the table, watching the balls of hair circling around her feet, sniffing the embroidered shoes for a while, biting the hems of her trousers for a while, she was extremely busy, and her mood relaxed after a day of fun.

Thinking about having a good meal for dinner, but seeing Xue Lan frowning, still thinking about something, he said: "Mother, don't think about it so much, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and you can only do it when you are full." Count, think about what you want to eat later?"

"Don't worry, the accounts have already started anyway, Steward Zhang, go and get the accounts of the shops in recent years."

The inherent assets of the Duke's Mansion were all messed up by Xue Lan. Xue Lan had an ominous premonition in her heart. If she couldn't witness it with her own eyes, she wouldn't even be able to sleep, let alone eat.

Gu Qingyou originally wanted to say that there was no rush to manage the money, but seeing her frowning, she stopped talking, and sat on the side quietly stroking the hairballs.

When Zhang Yong took people to pick up the ledger, Xue Lan sank into the grand master's chair and closed her eyes to meditate, trying to search the ledger in her head first, but found that Xue's memory of this piece was empty, which shows that she didn't pay attention at all at ordinary times.

It's no wonder Song Lian secretly took away so many assets.

The door was gently pushed open again, thinking it was Zhang Yong coming back, Gu Qingyou put down the ball of hair and was about to help open the door, when he saw a round head slipped through the crack of the door again, with the familiar double-snail bun on it.

"Young lady, are you hungry?"

Knowing that they had business to do, Shuang Jiang had been guarding the door since morning.

As a result, they didn't see them finish until it was almost dark, so they went to the kitchen to bring some food, and dared to ask while Zhang Yong was out.

He didn't dare to speak loudly, and was afraid that Gu Qingyou wouldn't be able to hear clearly, so he put his hand to his mouth like he was gnawing a chicken leg while asking.

Gu Qingyou was amused by her, and waved to her: "I'm just hungry, what delicious food did you bring?"

Shuang Jiang didn't speak, his head disappeared through the crack of the door for a while, and then came back with an extra tray in his hand.

She tiptoed into the room, thinking that Xue Lan was asleep, and said in a low voice, "The cook made some warm chestnut cakes, young lady, please try it."

After speaking, he put the plate in front of Gu Qingyou as if offering a treasure, and looked at her expectantly with a pair of big eyes.

Gu Qingyou doesn't like sweets very much, but seeing her earnest gaze, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was really soft and mellow, but not too sweet, so she couldn't help but took another piece.

"Isn't it delicious? When it just came out of the pan, the outer skin was so crispy!"

Shuang Jiang couldn't help licking her lips, she had been starving for a whole day.

Seeing Gu Qingyou's delicious food now, his stomach unknowingly let out a rumbling sound, which was very clear in this quiet room.

Seeing her blushing face, Gu Qingyou realized later: "You haven't eaten all day, have you?"

Shuang Jiang nodded embarrassingly: "I didn't dare to leave because Madam would summon me at any time."

"You stupid girl."

Gu Qingyou squeezed another piece and put it into her mouth, and said angrily: "We were so busy that we forgot to eat, but you are also hungry."

Remembering that Song Hengye was still injured, he would definitely not be able to carry it without eating, so he pushed the plate to the opposite side: "Second Young Master also taste a piece, it's still warm."

Song Hengye was not interested in what these little girls were eating, so he waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Young Madam, for your kindness. I'm not hungry yet."

As soon as the words fell, a certain dog on the ground barked twice, sounding a little dissatisfied.

Gu Qingyou lowered his head, "What's the matter, little Yanzi, do you want to eat it too?"

The little belly was bulging, obviously he had already eaten, and he was hungry again after seeing the chestnut pancakes.

Seeing its front paws holding on to her calf Hada Hada sticking out its tongue, Gu Qingyou broke off a small piece and threw it to it: "You can only eat a little bit, otherwise it's time to last."

It was only then that Shuang Jiang noticed a puppy in the room, his eyes lit up, he knelt down and touched it carefully: "Is it called Xiaoyuanzi? No wonder it is so round."

The name Xiao Yanzi was chosen to anger Meng Yan, and now it really sounds bad, so Gu Qingyou nodded along the way: "Yes, round little Yuanzi."

Gouzi seemed to understand. He put down the chestnut cake and growled a few times to express his dissatisfaction, causing Xue Lan to open his eyes and scold with a smile: "The dog is small, but his temper is not small."

Seeing that it was eating sweetly, I couldn't help pinching a piece of chestnut cake to taste: "Well, the taste is really good, much better than the ones bought outside, why would the cook think of making this?"

Because of Xue's snarky mouth, the cooks usually only prepare food when they are ordered. They have been busy all day today, and they have no time to inform the kitchen, so Xue Lan feels strange.

Shuang Jiang was stunned for a moment, feeling that he might be doing something bad with good intentions, and hurriedly said: "Go back to Madam, this servant just happened to see chestnut cakes out of the pan, so I took a plate away... Should I ask this servant now?"

"No need, anyway, it is made for people to eat."

Xue Lan took another piece as she spoke, and just now she felt that she was so full of money that she didn't want to eat, but she couldn't stop after taking a bite.

A plate of dim sum was left with nothing but scum, Gu Qingyou saw that Xue Lan liked it, so he said to Shuang Jiang: "Go to the kitchen again to see if there are any left."

It took a long time to go there, and Gu Qingyou didn't care, because Zhang Yong had already brought back a box that was half a person's height, and it made a muffled sound when it was placed on the ground.

Xue Lan leaned on the table with one hand, and pinched her temple with the other, looking at it unscrupulously, she knew that she would definitely have a headache in the future.

It is completely different from Xue's sloppy temper, she is used to straightening out everything clearly, and her eye sockets hurt when she looks at the messy accounts of the Duke's Mansion.

He simply ate a few snacks and was not very hungry, so he asked someone to make a pot of strong tea to prepare for staying up late.

Gu Qingyou couldn't do anything else, so he threw the hairball aside and moved the ledger out of the box.

On the other hand, Xue Lan and Zhang Yong divided the ledgers into three categories according to the shop's revenues—those that make money, those that make money, those that lose money, and place them on the floor in order.
