Chapter Fifty-eight: A Woman Dressing Up as a Man(1/2)

"Not bad." Shen Xinyue nodded.

Shen Wangchi said nothing, and was seriously thinking about the feasibility of Shen Xinyue's idea.

Indeed, Shen Xinyue and Shen Wangchi look very similar, and both of them have soft looks, while Shen Wangchi is somewhat bookish.

If Shen Xinyue were dressed as a man, she would indeed be no different from Shen Wangchi. If someone unfamiliar with her saw this, it would probably be difficult to tell the difference.

only……

The appearance can be similar, or even fake, but what about the voice?

The voices of the two are different. How can the voices of boys and girls be the same?

What's more, if this was exposed and brought before the emperor Huo Tianyi, then it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!

Shen Wangchi nodded first and then shook his head, "No, Yue'er, this is too ridiculous. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If it is discovered, ten of our heads will not be enough to lose it."

"What's more, the appearance can be similar, but what about the voices? Yue'er, our voices are different. On this point, we can't be perfect."

Shen Xinyue smiled mysteriously: "Brother, what about now?"

Shen Xinyue lowered her voice and changed the position of her voice. Her voice turned out to be 80% similar to Shen Wangchi!

Unless they are people who get along with Shen Wangchi day and night, if other people want to tell the difference, they have to have Shen Wangchi himself to make comparisons.

Shen Wangchi was shocked. When had Yue'er learned such a magical skill?

"Yue'er? How...how did you do this?"

Shen Xinyue smiled and said nothing.

In modern times, many people have heard of pseudo-sound.

Shen Xinyue had never learned it, but after she suppressed her voice, she could sound similar to Shen Wangchi's.

This is also because Shen Xinyue and Shen Wangchi are brothers and sisters from the same father and mother.

Otherwise, she, a person who has never learned false pronunciation and has only heard of it, would not be able to do this.

"My Yue'er is so powerful now." Shen Wangchi never hesitates to praise Shen Xinyue.

Although Shen Wangchi praised Shen Xinyue, he did not take Shen Xinyue's proposal to heart. He completely regarded Shen Xinyue's words as comfort to himself.

But the next day, Shen Xinyue disguised herself as a man and went out as Shen Wangchi.

Shen Wangchi couldn't leave the house because of his leg, so this also gave Shen Xinyue no worries.

Fortunately, she could go out safely without worrying about Shen Wangchi coming out suddenly.

Shen Xinyue brought Si Qi, who was also disguised as a man, to the Shen family's store in Beijing.

This shop is a restaurant. It's not too big, but it's the largest restaurant in the neighborhood.

The nearby taverns are incomparable to this restaurant.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is a man who is good at adapting to the changing circumstances. His name is Cai Yun, and he is known as Cai Ye.

Mr. Cai had seen Shen Wangchi's portrait, and when he saw Shen Xinyue coming in, he greeted her with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Master Shen? Master Shen came all the way to the capital, and he was living rough and sleeping all the way, why don't I call someone Set up a table in the restaurant to welcome the young master?"

Shen Xinyue had a cold face. She had already investigated the restaurant's operating conditions and the details of the shopkeeper, so naturally she couldn't give Mr. Cai a good look.

"No need. Now that shopkeeper Cai knows me, things will be easier to handle."

Shen Xinyue sat in front of the shopkeeper, showing off her domineering attitude.

The restaurant's business was not good, and Shen Xinyue left early, so it wasn't lunch time yet.

In the restaurant, apart from the waiter who was wiping the tables and chairs and the shopkeeper Cai, there were only two dazed cooks in the kitchen.

"I'm here to take over this restaurant, Shopkeeper Cai. From now on, I, Shen Wangchi, will be the owner of the restaurant. Do you understand?"

Cai Yun kept smiling, but he didn't take Shen Xinyue very seriously.

What a joke, Shen Chusheng is his real master.

And this real master, the woman he loves, is Aunt Liu

.

Aunt Liu gave birth to a son and a daughter. The daughter moved in with the Princess Regent, and the son was sent to the capital to take over his restaurant.

Cai Yun knew very well that the person he wanted to please was Aunt Liu.

As for Shen Wangchi? He is just an unpopular eldest son.

Maybe one day I will be killed by Aunt Liu without even knowing.

Naturally, it is impossible for Cai Yun to sacrifice his life for Shen Wangchi.

He had already expressed his kindness to Aunt Liu.

"Yes, yes, young master, you are here to take over the restaurant. But the young master must be tired from the bumpy journey. Why don't you take a rest and have a meal today, and let's wash away the dust first."

"When the young master has rested, we will take over the restaurant again."

Cai Yun couldn't let Shen Xinyue take the restaurant away easily. In any case, the restaurant also had his hard work.

If he wants to give it out, he has to give it to someone who can keep the restaurant from going bankrupt.

With Aunt Liu's help, Shen Yuefei will naturally not let the restaurant close down. Thinking of it, Aunt Liu will also subsidize some money herself. Maybe the restaurant's business will be better.

"I said, no need to." Shen Xinyue was like an inexperienced fool at this moment. No matter how sweet-tempered Shopkeeper Cai said, she remained unmoved.

Cai Yun was very angry at Shen Xinyue: "Master, I asked you to rest first for your own good. If you don't rest, where will you find the energy to manage the restaurant?"

Shen Xinyue chuckled. This smile made Cai Yun feel that something bad was about to happen.

As expected, Shen Xinyue's next words made Cai Yun take a breath of cold air.

"Why don't you, shopkeeper Cai, take a look at the restaurant's account books first?"

"The young master can still read the account books? I heard before that the young master is devoted to studying and only wants to obtain fame. He came to the capital because he was assigned by the master." Cai Yun said in a strange tone.

Shen Xinyue's eyes turned cold. Her patience had been exhausted. "Shopkeeper Cai, it's not your concern whether I know how to read the account books. Bring me the account books."

Shen Xinyue's tone became colder and colder.

"Here, young master, you don't have to worry about these things. I manage the restaurant very well." Cai Yun felt that his real masters were Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu.

As for Song Ruyu, the main wife's child, she can't make any waves.

Although Shen Xinyue's aura made Cai Yun a little afraid, he looked down on Shen Wangchi from the bottom of his heart, so he still showed no regard for her.

"Young master, you have to sleep in the open air and travel a long distance, so it is best to rest first." Cai Yun still said this.

"Shopkeeper Cai, don't try to challenge my patience."

"My patience is limited and it makes me anxious. I don't think you want to know my methods."

Shen Xinyue's eyes fell on Cai Yun, like a hungry wolf eyeing delicious prey.

Beads of sweat appeared on Cai Yun's forehead.

Damn it, how could Shen Wangchi be so oppressive? He is clearly just a person who can only read!

How could a scholar have such an aura?

What's more, Shen Wangchi was bullied growing up!

"This... Young Master, I'm going to get the account book right now." Cai Yun was so shocked that he didn't even dare to speak out.

Cai Yun didn't dare to fool around anymore, so he had to take out the account book.

The restaurant's business was not good, and there were not many accounts recorded in the ledger. Shen Xinyue could read it very quickly.

"Shopkeeper Cai, I won't mention whether you know how to run a restaurant."

"But Shopkeeper Cai's ability to make false accounts..."

"It's quite good. I think other restaurant owners should learn more from you."

Shen Xinyue went back with a strange anger.

She could tell at a glance that shopkeeper Cai had been making false accounts all along!

Because Shen Xinyue had investigated the restaurant's operating conditions in advance, she had an idea of ​​the ledger.

The account book that shopkeeper Cai gave to Shen Xinyue showed that the restaurant has always been unable to make ends meet and has always been in the red.

But in fact, Shen Xinyue found that although the restaurant could not make much money, it could still balance its expenses and make a small profit during peak seasons.

"What? Master, you can't slander me!" Cai Yun was shocked. He made false accounts, and even Shen Chusheng didn't notice it!

How could Shen Wangchi, a young boy who had never done business, see this?

Cai Yun thought that the Shen Wangchi in front of him was bluffing. He obviously couldn't understand the ledger, but he pretended to understand it, trying to deceive him and try to trick him!

In this case, he can't be fooled.

"Really? Shopkeeper Cai didn't make false accounts?" Shen Xinyue deliberately followed Cai Yun's ideas and looked as if she really did.

"That's natural. Every year, the account books will be submitted to the master for review. If I had made false accounts, the master would have kicked me out." Cai Yun smiled proudly.

He didn't know at all that Shen Chusheng never looked at the account books in the capital in order to save trouble.
