The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 41

Pei Yuemei was surprised, her eyes widened, "What does sister mean?"

On the night of the relationship, Pei Shi didn't take it seriously at all that she told Pei Shi to dismiss the person that Gu Shi had brought in.I'm afraid that not only did he not get rid of it, but he also became jealous of the rivalry.

Xiao Ruan raised her forehead, "Forget it, you can figure it out." She didn't mainly want to talk about this today, after all, she would at most point to the things in her brother's room, otherwise it would be like nothing.After thinking about it, she turned her head to look at Zhuyun, "Is Linglong back?"

"I'm back, the servant girl is going to call her now."

Xiao Ruan nodded, "Did you ask Aunt Gu for those dowry shops of mother's?"

When Xiao Ruan asked about this matter, Pei Yuemei felt short of breath for a while, after all, she took care of everything by herself earlier, but nothing was done in the end.Her eyes flickered, her lips moved slightly.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore." Xiao Ruan shook her head. In this state, even if half of mother's dowry is handed over to Pei Shi in the future, it may not be a good thing.

"However, there are some things you need to know, so that you can understand what should be fought and how to fight."

Mrs. Pei was taken aback by the words. Ever since she had suffered from Mrs. Gu's place, although she was still thinking about how to get those shops from Mrs. Gu's hands, she lost the enthusiasm she had at the beginning.

Now she is still fighting Gu's wits and courage, but firstly, she patted her chest in front of Xiao Zhongheng as a guarantee, and secondly, those shops are indeed profitable.

At this moment, Linglong came in to salute the two of them.

Xiao Ruan nodded, "Talk to the young mistress about the current situation."

Linglong nodded and agreed, "These young ladies should be no strangers to these shops. The first two are time-honored because of their good location, and each shop has an average annual net profit of 1 taels. The location of the three companies is slightly worse, but the profit is small but the turnover is stable, and it is stable at about 500 taels per year. As for the other five, they are all counties and towns near Kyoto, which are not as good as the previous ones, and they are about [-] taels per year."

Pei Yuemei was dumbfounded when she heard this. She knew that these shops made money, but she never expected that they would make so much money. She counted the money with her fingers, "This, this year is 3 taels?"

Xiao Ruan nodded, "It's almost the same number."

Pei Yuemei was speechless at this time, her heart was shaking and she felt dizzy.Because she was born in a small family, she knows how to deal with money on weekdays, but also because of this, she is different from those ladies of the family, and she knows the value of these money better than anyone else.

Take the Xiao Mansion as an example. There are nearly 100 masters and maidservants in each courtyard, and the annual expenses are about 1000 taels, of which the men and the old lady are the most expensive; In terms of human relations, it is about two to three thousand taels per year.

As for other expenses, it will be calculated separately.

In this way, the normal annual cost is 5000 taels. Compared with ordinary families in Kyoto, 20 taels is enough for their annual expenses.However, these are nothing compared to the profits of shops like Xiao Ruan.

Without using the Xiao Mansion's income, this 3 taels is enough to cover the Xiao Mansion's expenses for a year, so this is a bit intriguing.

According to the agreement, every year, [-]% of Xiao Ruan's mother's dowry goes to the public, and [-]% goes to Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng.

In other words, 2 taels of it were given to the public, and even if Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng shared the rest equally, each of them should have 5000 taels in the account every year, but in reality?Pei Yuemei had never seen such a sum of money.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuemei couldn't sit still, "No, I'm going to talk to Mrs. Gu."

"Wait." Xiao Ruan called Pei Yuemei to stop, "Wait for Linglong to finish speaking."

"As far as I know, Madam's dowry is not limited to these. Apart from those dead things, there are also quite a few fertile fields in the suburbs and shops that are not that valuable. Among them, the fertile fields have gradually decreased in recent years, and some of the shops that are not very valuable They are all closed, and it is said that they are not well managed.”

"What! Mrs. Gu, she actually put her mind on mother's dowry?" Pei Yuemei became angry when she heard it. Now in her heart, these things belonged to her long ago, how could she allow others to get involved.

Xiao Ruan took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "These shops should indeed be poorly managed, and some seem to have lost a lot. As for the fertile land, when my father was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War, he sold a lot of them. Of course, some shops are also there. It's time to make a move."

"So, the rest of mother's dowry is more valuable than those shops?" Pei Yuemei felt distressed for a while.

Xiao Ruan nodded, then shook his head again, "These shops have only had this kind of income in the past two years. Don't forget that the wars were fierce in the past few years, and the profits of these shops are not so good."

What's more, there is also a Mrs. Gu who is not good at management. Just looking at those loss-making shops, you can know that Mrs. Gu is not that good at all.

Therefore, a few years ago, her mother's dowry could earn at most 1 taels, which would be great, but even so, it was still a large sum.Back then, Taifu Lu had only one daughter, and it hurt to the bone. When the Lu family got married, Taifu Lu lost almost half of his family property. If it wasn't for the fact that the Lu family is a rich family with a deep foundation, he might not be able to afford to marry his daughter like this.

And Xiao Ruan didn't need to say this, Pei could see it, she murmured, "No, my mother's so much dowry is about to be wiped out, I'd better talk to your brother first, let him get in touch with the shopkeepers of those shops one time."

Xiao Ruan nodded, not out of her wits, but, "Don't be in a hurry, you have to be accurate before you can make contact. Linglong also found some interesting things, just listen."

When Pei Yuemei heard this, she felt her heart was raised, and she hurriedly looked at Linglong.

Linglong's expression remained unchanged and she said, "Since the young mistress asked Aunt Gu to go through the shop, there are a few shopkeepers who are very close to Aunt Gu. It seems that Aunt Gu has prepared several shops in other markets. Go take care."

"What, is it possible that Aunt Gu wants to poach someone? No, there is nothing in Aunt Gu's shop yet, so how could those shopkeepers follow her? They should be looking after her, right?"

No wonder Mrs. Pei was so vigilant, it was because the amount of money was too large.However, after pondering for a while, she vetoed herself again. After all, even if there are shopkeepers who want to work for Gu's, they still have enough benefits. How could Gu's pay a high price to hire those shopkeepers to take care of things.

Xiao Ruan calmly watched Mrs. Pei walking back and forth anxiously, seeing that she really couldn't think of a clue, she slowly said, "Then if Mrs. Gu wants to embezzle the old tricks and sell dog meat in her original shop, and sell her dog meat in her own new shop." The opened store uses the original resources. Tell me, how long can our store last?"

"This, this, Ruan Ruan, what do you mean, the Gu family wants to dig out all our shopkeepers and managers, and leave us with an empty shell?" Pei Yuemei couldn't believe it, but the more she talked, the more she felt it was possible, she murmured He murmured, "After that, the store has not been recorded in the account, and sooner or later, it will be closed."

"No, at that time, these shops should be in our hands. As for whether we plan to re-operate in the future or simply sell the shop to make a fortune, it's another matter." Xiao Ruan said sarcasm, but it was true in the previous life Things that happened.

In her previous life, Mrs. Gu also couldn't offer high prices to lure those shopkeepers, but she gave them an idea, that is, as long as they dig out all the resources of the original store, she will give these shopkeepers two more points. Cheng's monthly salary.

In this way, the Gu family carried out the transition without any effort.Maybe the store's profit in the future will not be as much as it used to be, but this is something she got for nothing, so why would she care about those losses compared to losing the money.

On this point, Gu sees it very clearly.

What's more, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng, who got the original shop later, were not in the same house, so naturally they didn't know about these twists and turns.At that time, they simply got rid of Gu's and sold the shop, but it was cheaper and Gu's bought it back.

Since then, the shops have completely changed their names.

It's not that there were no store managers who missed the old love of Lu's family, but none of them ended up well in the end, and all of them were squeezed out by Gu's and left the capital, never to appear again.

These were all figured out by Xiao Ruan after her rebirth. Although she had some doubts about it in her previous life, many clues had been erased due to the age.

It was also in this life that Xiao Ruan sent Linglong to investigate early, and then combined with the last winner in the previous life, she gradually understood.

When she first learned about this, Xiao Ruan almost died of anger, hated and angry at the same time.

Now, she has been able to look at these things calmly. After all, compared to her previous life, she still has many opportunities to reverse all this.

However, Pei Yuemei couldn't bear it at all. After hearing Xiao Ruan's speculation, although Pei Yuemei felt that it was unlikely, the worry in her heart made her think more and more that this was the case.

At this time, she couldn't sit still anymore, "No, sister, you should be busy first, this is not a trivial matter, sister-in-law will go and check it now."

After Pei Yuemei left, Linglong couldn't help asking, "Miss, is it alright to tell young mistress all these?"

Thinking of the ending of the previous life, Xiao Ruan smiled, "What does it matter." No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the previous life.

"After all, Mrs. Pei is the mistress of the future. It is better for her to know some things." And this is also an opportunity for Xiao Ruan to give her. After all, she has already given such detailed information. If Mrs. Pei is still so clueless If you use it, then don't blame her.

Xiao Ruan raised the corner of her mouth, "Besides, when I told her, I was actually telling my brother, and I should have let my brother know about this."

"Will the young lady tell the young master? After all, money touches people's hearts." Linglong doubted.
