Chapter 641 Calculating Carefully
"It's not a high-ranking official. A Beijing official above rank five can probably have such a house." Shen Weilan said lightly. "You lead the big guys to settle down and tell them that from now on, you must never mention the past, and your accent must be changed. Just learn from Shihui. Shihui is my big maid. If you know how to read, you can follow Shihui to learn how to read." Shen Weilan said in a deep voice.

Shihui gave Jiaoniang a gift, "Hello, sister, my name is Shihui, please tell me what you need in the future, our master and wife are very generous to the servants, and they will eat and wear as they please Everything is as good as Miss."

Jiaoniang looked at the clothes on Shihui's body and the jewelry on her head, and said with a smile, "I can see it!"

Shi Hui said again: "Sisters stay here for now, and tomorrow I will invite people from the sewing room to measure the size of the sisters so that they can make new clothes!"

"Thank you, girl!" Jiao Niang is already in her 20s this year, seeing that Shi Hui is only in her teens, she took care of her.

Shihui entered the Dongli Room, and after a while she came out with a black lacquer tray, and inside the tray was a change of clothes.

She said to Shen Weilan: "Miss, go take a bath first!"

"Okay!" Shen Weilan responded and said to Jiao Niang. "I'm going to take a shower first, and you and everyone else should also get ready. We'll all take a shower and change our clothes later."

Jiao Niang nodded and left.

Shen Weilan entered the clean room, it was very warm in the clean room, and the radiator was extremely hot.

"Two days ago, I heard that the young lady came back. Madam was so happy, she told the servants to help the young lady prepare the house early." Shi Hui said with a smile, put down the changed clothes, then went upstairs, and ordered the servants upstairs to prepare the house. The person on the fire adjusted the temperature of the boiled water and poured it into a water jar.

There is a pipe connected to the bottom of the water tank, and the shower head is under the pipe.

Shen Weilan took a hot bath comfortably, changed her clothes, went back to the house, and sat on the kang with a towel wrapped around her head. The kang was also extremely warm, and she let out a sigh of comfort. very nice.

Shi Hui said softly: "Master Song was transferred to the capital city, joined the Ministry of Officials, and became the head of the sixth grade. The young master of the Chen family also won Tanhualang, and the emperor gave him a house. Now only the young master of the Song family is still alive." Live in our mansion and learn martial arts from the master. With the grace of the emperor, he ordered Mrs. Song to be safe at the sixth rank, and Mrs. Chen to be a child at the seventh rank."

Shen Weilan nodded slightly, expressing that she knew, raised her hand and took the towel off her head, and wiped the water droplets on her hair, "After you come to the capital, will someone visit or invite your wife?"

"When I first came here, my wife was pregnant. Except for the occasional visits by the princess of Changping County and the princess of De County, only Mrs. Song and Mrs. Chen often came to visit, and no one else came. In the first month of the month, the queen mother and the empress called his wife into the palace once. Afterwards, the emperor bestowed on his wife the title of second-rank lady, and all the wives from all the prefectures came to congratulate him. , thank you behind closed doors." Shihui answered her words softly, and then stopped talking.

"This is the best!" Shen Weilan said lightly, she had always been worried that her mother showed her whereabouts before she came back, and now it seems that her mother's reclusive life all day is exactly what she wants.

However, Mrs. Wen Er is coming back soon, and the real drama is about to be staged. This time, she will use all means to prevent the Wen family from being completely destroyed. She vows not to be human!
Shen Weilan asked again: "Mother is not feeling well, who is in charge of the affairs of the house?"

It is impossible for such a large family to be supervised by no one. Where there are many people, there will be conflicts. Someone must be supervised so that there will be no chaos.

She didn't think Shen Luo had the patience to handle these trivial matters.

"Madam manages it herself." Shi Hui said. "Since the eldest lady went out, it was the madam who took care of the trivial matters at home. Now, even the things in the shop are taken care of by the madam herself. The madam said that she can't rely on the eldest miss for the rest of her life. She should also learn to stand up gone."

The master and servant were talking, when they heard a little maid in the courtyard say, "Madam is here!"

The master and servant shut their mouths immediately.

Sui Youran came in from the outside, followed by a neat girl, holding a wooden box of rosewood in her hand.

"Lan'er..." With a soft smile on Sui Youran's face, he sat sideways on the edge of the kang, looked at Shen Weilan and said. "Here is the account book that shopkeeper Fangda sent when you were not at home. Your father said that you earned the money yourself, and asked me to save it for you as a dowry."

Shen Weilan asked, "How much is it in total?"

Sui Youran waved her hand, and the girl who followed her turned around and backed out.

Sui Youran spoke only then, but in a very low voice, "The tents of the embroidery village and the pastry shop are here, and the total is 37 taels of silver. I know you like to save gold, so I exchanged 320 taels of silver for It became gold, and the remaining 30 taels of silver were deposited in Jubao Bank. They said that they could get a three-point profit. , the seal is in the box. In addition, when you were leaving, I took apart the belt you left me. Where did you get these old bank notes? You scared me to death It’s gone! I didn’t dare to move it for you, and the belt is also in this box.”

She explained in every detail.

Shen Weilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "How much money did the pastry shop and embroidery shop earn?"

Sui Youran nodded, "Yes, there is not much money in the pastry shop. There are ten branches near the capital city, a total of more than 6000 taels, and the rest is the money earned by Xiuzhuang. You don't know, the pair How popular is face embroidery nowadays? A screen embroidered on both sides with the same color by an ordinary embroiderer in the shop can sell for two to three thousand taels of silver. In addition, there is a plaque gifted by the empress dowager in the shop, which is very rich. People come from thousands of miles away to order from the shop. Now that the order has been received for three years, Fang Xinran said that he was afraid that he would not be able to deliver the work by then, so he had already ordered the counter to stop accepting orders. Most of the money was just Deposit money. The gold is stored in a secret room in your house, and here is the key."

As she spoke, she took off a chain made of red rope from her neck. At the bottom of the chain was a key with a strange shape. She put the key in front of Shen Weilan.

Shen Weilan didn't go to get a key, but asked, "Is there not enough manpower in the embroidery village?"

Sui Youran smiled and said: "Yes, so your Uncle Fang bought 600 girls in the name of your mother, and they couldn't be resettled in the embroidery village, so he resettled them in a village outside the city. By the way, Gai Na Zhuangzi also spent some money, a total of more than [-] taels, which is recorded in the account. Wait a few days, let your Uncle Fang come over and take you to have a look!"

Shen Weilan chuckled, and asked, "Mother, where is the secret room you mentioned? I want to see our gold!"

She is really a bit of a money fanatic, and can't wait to see the gold in her mother's mouth. Although it is only worth 30 taels of silver, it is actually earned from her shop, not from robbery. The feeling is different .

One is to do business down-to-earth to make money, and the water flows steadily, while the other is crooked, trading with one hammer.

Su Youran took the key from her side, and then gave Shihui a wink, Shihui understood, turned around and walked out, and went outside to help them look out.

Sui Youran took off her shoes, got on the kang, opened the innermost drawer at the bottom of the kang cabinet, pulled out the whole drawer, then got down on the knees, and put the hand holding the key in. She didn't know what she was doing. What, a few floors sank silently, revealing an entrance.

Su Youran got down from the kang, took out flint and fire sickle from her purse, lit a candle, and then said to Shen Weilan: "Lan'er, come with me."

Shen Weilan wrapped her hair with a dry towel, then got off the ground, put on her shoes, and followed Shen Qiongyu into the tunnel.

There are more than a dozen steps below the entrance of the cave, and when he went down the steps, he saw a secret room appearing in front of his eyes, with several large boxes neatly placed inside.

Shen Weilan went over and opened the lid of the box, and saw a large pile of golden horseshoe gold neatly placed inside.

She picked up one piece and shook the weight in her hand, 50 taels of gold ingots were quite heavy.

Shen Weilan put the gold back, and looked around by candlelight, and saw that there were thick iron plates all around, and this secret room was actually built with thick iron plates.

She nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Who built this secret room?"

"I don't know, it was there when I moved in, but your father told me, and your father gave me the key." Sui Youran answered her words, then turned her face to look in the direction of the cave entrance, and leaned closer to Shen. In Azure's ear, said in a low voice. "The floor tiles here were brought by your father in Liaocheng. He said that there is gold in them, and they all came out of your house."

"Oh?" Shen Weilan looked down at the blue bricks under her feet. No wonder she felt that these bricks looked familiar. They turned out to be the ones in her house. Thinking that these gold bricks were worth more than 200 million taels of silver, now there are The income of more than 30 taels, and the sum that cheated Sun Jiuniang before, and... She calculated carefully, and she didn't even count how much money she had.

Not to mention that Xuan Chen brought so much gold, silver and jewels from the North Chen country this time, but they haven't arrived yet, and he doesn't know how much money he can make.

Sui Youran said again: "I also have a secret room in my house, but the method of opening it is different from this secret room."

"That mother can store her private room in it." Shen Weilan said with a smile, then closed the lid of the opened box, and pulled Shen Qiongyu out.

The two came to the ground, then climbed onto the kang with Youran, put their hands into the gap in the drawer, pulled out the key, and the floor immediately returned to its original state.
