Wen Yao's words sounded like praise, but to Wen Yu's ears, they were just ridicule.
"big sister……"
"Don't call me big sister. I'm not worthy. I'm a stumbling block to your dear brother and sister. I'm the biggest bad guy in the family. I'm cold-blooded, I'm ruthless, and I'm vicious. Speak out what's on your mind and see what else is there.
Whatever you want to add, I will take care of it."
Wen Nuan cried and protected her eldest brother: "Sister, if you have any questions for me, don't target your eldest brother. He is the future head of the family. You can't deny him face like this."
It was the same old thing again, Wen Yu looked at her movedly, his love for the sixth sister was not in vain.
Wen Yao sneered: "Head of a family? You sound so majestic. Come and see what good things you, the head of the family, have done. You lost one hundred thousand taels of silver in a month. Who will fill this hole for you?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver? That much?"
Nuan Nuan didn't even bother to cry. She didn't expect her elder brother to lose so much?
Wen Yu looked ugly: "Then if it were you, the eldest sister, what would you do?"
Wen Yao pointed to the door, "Nuan Nuan, you go out, whoever comes, remember, no one is allowed to come in without my instructions from now on, including the eldest wife and my father."
Wen Nuan stamped her feet angrily, "Sister, you are going too far."
"Am I going too far? What do you want to do when you go to Prince Jing's Mansion with him? Isn't what you do going too far?"
"Nuan Nuan, I'm warning you, don't waste my last bit of mercy on you, get out!"
"嘤嘤嘤..."
Wen Nuan ran away crying. Wen Yu wanted to chase her, but Wen Yao said, "If you dare to walk out of this door, you don't have to come in again."
Wen Yu finally stopped and walked beside her with his head lowered, like a defeated rooster.
There were so many shopkeepers in the room, but no one interceded for him. Instead, they looked happy. Especially the shopkeepers of the inn wanted to applaud.
It's not that they haven't discussed it with the eldest young master. This is not possible, but the eldest young master insists on going his own way and refuses to listen to anyone's advice.
You're fine now. You've been scolded by the eldest lady. Are you honest?
Wen Yao said: "You all tell me, how to solve the Li family's matter?"
One of the innkeepers said: "I think the price will be restored to the original price, but we can give away the restaurant's dining sign and get a 20% discount on meals."
"I think we can give away a few free check-in signs. Next time you come to stay with the sign, you can stay for free. The price will be directly reduced. It will be difficult to recover."
"Even so, I don't agree with a direct price war. After all, an inn is not another object."
Wen Yao knocked on the table and said: "You have ignored a group of guests, the scholars who came to take the exams. You sent guys to stop them at several city gates. If you only want to stay for a month, you will be given free laundry services, discounted meals and other services.
There is no need to confront the Li family. He has only opened the inn for a few days?
Also, if the Li family can attack our inn, we can also attack his grain store. If the Li family wants to fight with me, then let’s fight.”
Wen Yao was really angry. Li Ying was a pitiful person and must be hateful. Li Hao was stupid and arrogant. He thought that by relying on Shen Changfeng, he had forgotten the days when he was suppressed and beaten by the Wen family.
Wen Yao gave a series of orders, and an hour later, the shopkeepers all had their goals in mind and dismissed the meeting.
Wen Yu was the only one left in the room, and Wen Yaocai said: "Has anyone suggested the method the shopkeeper just mentioned to you?"
Wen Yu said awkwardly: "Yes."
"Yes?" Wen Qingqing smiled: "Yes, why don't you listen? Brainstorm ideas, don't you understand?"
Wen Yu didn't say anything, and Wen Yao didn't expect him to say anything clearly, so she continued to ask: "I ask you again, what did I do wrong to you that you want to destroy me like this?
I am the eldest sister and I am so annoying to you. Is it okay for you not to see me?"
Wen Yao is really disappointed and heartbroken. Is this how her younger brother, who taught her step by step, repays her?
Wen Yu said na na: "I didn't mean that. It was for your own good that mother said she was worried that the elders in the palace would be dissatisfied with you. I am also worried about my eldest sister."
"Haha, thank you for worrying about what happened today. What would you think if Nuan Nuan and the Crown Prince were on good terms?"
Wen Yao asked a soul question, Wen Yu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"You will only be happy for her. You think that your good sister is liked by everyone and is enough to be a queen. But I, an old girl, deserve to live alone and be unhappy with a husband who is not decent."
Wen Yu shook his head: "I, I didn't."
"Do you believe this? Go back and think about where you went wrong."
Wen Yu was dejected: "What happened at the inn..."
"You continue to follow up, Wen Yu, insist on your opinion and score points. You want to establish your authority, but you must also look at the reality. I am tired, you go down."
Wen Yu walked out, and Wen Yao looked at his back indifferently, unable to help but feel disappointed.
Wen Yao went home crying, which made Su Qiuyue feel distressed for a while, but thinking that Wen Yao was angry and timid, could she be angry and slap herself twice?
Wen Yao really didn't dare to say it, but she could definitely do it.
No matter how much Wen Yao complained, Su Qiuyue did not dare to go to Wen Yao to settle the score, and she was also afraid of being beaten.
Wen Yao came back, but she didn't have an attack. It was a quiet night, and Su Qiuyue didn't dare to sleep.
Early the next morning, the stewards came to her to ask for instructions. She was in charge of the family's middle school and had to arrange everything every day.
The accountant said: "Madam, it's time for the monthly payment tomorrow. This is the account, which requires 3,600 taels. There are also accounts for the delivery of food and goods, which total 5,768 taels."
Next month is early summer, and we should prepare summer clothes for the masters in the house. We also need to pay a deposit for the embroidery house. Although it is our own embroidery house, the accounts are separate..."
After the steward finished speaking, Su Qiuyue took a breath: "You want so much money? Where can I get it for you?"
The accountant was stunned for a moment and said: "There are one hundred and eight thousand three hundred and seventy taels of silver in the book, how could it not be there? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and this year there are more relationships in the palace that need to be taken care of, so generous gifts must be prepared in advance.
The red coral, white jade Guanyin, and Dongzhu shawl that the eldest lady put in the warehouse will all be used. Please prepare them."
Su Qiuyue's eyes flickered: "Do you know all those things?"
The accountant was speechless. Why did this old lady ask such stupid questions? She pointed at the account and said, "Everything in the warehouse is recorded. Even a teacup is recorded. How could I not know?"
Su Qiuyue sent him away: "I know, I will prepare it later. I am not in a hurry. Why would anyone want to give such an expensive gift? I will tell the big girl later."
"This is what the eldest lady has ordered before. She has connections with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and it is her first year to take over the business of the Imperial Merchant. If the gift is not valuable enough, those eunuchs will not settle the bill for us. It is not a matter of one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver.
