The Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 366 Handover of Accounts
Early the next morning, Qin Yuewen was planning to go out with Xia Houjin when Wei Ruyi came to her room with a few maids and some ledgers.

Seeing Wei Ruyi's expression, Qin Yuewen couldn't figure it out for a moment. This Wei Ruyi was really calm. She didn't expect to follow Xia Houjin wholeheartedly after being mixed up like this in the mansion.

Wei Ruyi entered the room and looked left and right, but she didn't find Xia Houjin, so she said to Qin Yuewen.

"Your Majesty, these are the account books of the house. Some belong to the firm, some belong to the Zhuangzi, and there are also some accounts of the lease contract. Please have a look at them, Your Majesty."

Qin Yuewen randomly took out a book from the maidservant's hand, glanced at it, and then threw it aside. The ancient accounts were very chaotic, because without the support of Arabic numerals, the entire account book was messed up. Some of the most basic methods of addition and subtraction sometimes required Waste of space for several sheets of paper.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuewen raised her head and smiled.

"I know, let's put it here first, if there is anything I don't know, I will find you again."

Wei Ruyi watched Qin Yuewen flip through the ledger, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth. In her opinion, Qin Yuewen was a country woman, how could she understand the ledger?I'm afraid I don't even know the words.

Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Yuewen and said.

"Your Majesty, why don't I leave Shishu Shiqin to help you by your side. This account is not for fun. If there is a mistake in the calculation, it will increase the workload when the time comes to check."

After listening to her words, Qin Yuewen raised her head to look at her, took out one of the ledgers, glanced twice and said.

"Wei Fangfei, it seems that you are very familiar with the account books. These days, have you been in charge of the account books in the mansion?"

Wei Ruyi didn't know what she was going to say, so she nodded and said.

"It is true that the concubine is temporarily taking care of it. If the empress finds it difficult, the concubine is willing to continue to help."

Qin Yuewen laughed twice when she heard it.

"It's not difficult to be sleepy, but I have a doubt that I would like to ask my side concubine to answer for me."

Wei Ruyi became complacent when she heard it, and secretly cursed in her heart, it seems that this Qin Yuewen is really an idiot, she hasn't read all the books yet, why did she start asking questions?She is a rare talented woman in Shangjing, how can she just admit defeat like this?
It's better to embarrass her and make her feel ashamed to take care of the books, then I can justifiably take charge of the financial power of the Yingwangfu. At that time, not to mention Qin Yuewen, even Xia Houjin will have to be afraid of herself.

Thinking of this, Wei Ruyi suddenly understood Liu Mingzhu a little bit. At the beginning, Liu Mingzhu's single-minded struggle for power was the most practical thing. It was not like herself. She wanted to get Xia Houjin's favor, and she wanted to give her heart to him. , I didn't expect to get nothing but a cold stare.

Now she is going to learn from Liu Mingzhu. Even if she can't win Xia Houjin's heart, she must use her own methods to keep Xia Houjin's people, and she must not let the woman in front of her monopolize Xia Houjin.

So Wei Ruyi laughed.

"My lord, if you really feel that the account book is difficult to manage, I am willing to do it for you. If your majesty does not want His Highness to know, I am willing to keep it a secret. What is your wish?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuewen revealed a faint smile and said.

"Don't worry about the matter of hosting. I just have a question I want to ask my side concubine. Are you willing to help my concubine solve her problems?"

Wei Ruyi laughed when he heard that.

"The concubine is naturally willing, my lady, please tell me."

Qin Yuewen smiled after hearing her words.

"Suppose there is a business that sells rabbits and chickens. One day, a clerk is careless and accidentally puts the rabbits and chickens in the same cage. But the buyer is coming soon, and the number of rabbits and chickens must be counted immediately. Now You know, rabbits and chickens have a total of 46 heads, and the total number of feet is 120 or [-] feet, I would like to ask Concubine Wei, it is too late to count again, how do you calculate how many rabbits and how many chickens are there?"

When Wei Ruyi heard this, his head became muddled. What is the problem?She had never heard of it at all. She originally thought that Qin Yuewen would probably ask some questions about accounts, but she didn't expect to give her a math problem.

Thinking of this, Wei Ruyi stammered.

"There...there are enough people in the mansion, I will ask someone to count them again."

Qin Yuewen laughed as soon as she heard it, she held the account book and looked at Wei Ruyi and said.

"Wei side concubine, I remember that in the first subject of numerology, don't you young ladies in Beijing invite their wives to teach you? Why do I feel that Wei side concubine doesn't seem to understand anything? It seems that I still have these account books. I really have to check it carefully, otherwise if something goes wrong, how do you think I will explain it to His Highness?"

Wei Ruyi gritted her teeth angrily when she heard this, she looked at Qin Yuewen and gritted her teeth and said.

"I didn't expect my lady to be very good at numeracy. Since I am so troublesome, please tell me the number of rabbits and chickens?"

When Qin Yuewen heard this, she took the teacup on the table, opened the lid, dipped her finger in some water, and began to count on the table. After a while, she looked up at Wei Ruyi and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are eighteen rabbits and twenty-eight chickens. If Concubine Wei doesn't believe it, she can ask someone to put chickens and rabbits in the yard. I believe there must be someone willing to help Concubine Side count slowly."

When Wei Ruyi heard this, she suddenly became angry from embarrassment. She looked at Qin Yuewen and suppressed her anger.

"I didn't expect the empress to be so powerful. It seems that it is better to keep the account book with the empress than to leave it with me. In this way, Ruyi can rest assured. Since the account book has been delivered, the concubine will not bother me."

As Wei Ruyi said that, she was about to go out, but she had just taken two steps when Qin Yuewen's voice came again.

"Concubine Wei, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Wei Ruyi turned to look at her and said?

"Is there anything else?"

Qin Yuewen pointed to the ledger with a smile.

"It seems that the side concubine is indeed a bit powerless. These books are all business books. What about the expenses of the family? There are no. , the side concubine didn't keep accounts, did she?"

When Wei Ruyi heard this, the veins on her forehead burst out of anger. She originally planned to keep these ledgers and control the people in the mansion, but she didn't expect Qin Yuewen to know that she wanted the ledgers, so she turned her head and said.

"Your Majesty is really as careful as dust, but I haven't finished sorting out the accounts of the house, and I will send them over to your Majesty after I have sorted them out."

Qin Yuewen saw that her expression changed with anger, so she waved her hand and smiled.

"It's going to be a lot of hard work for the concubine. You should have a good rest when you're pregnant, but you didn't expect to have to work like this. But don't worry, after you're done with this matter, you can take care of your baby and wait for the delivery."
