Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Su Ying took back her mother Shen's dowry, and the next day she took Chunlan and Xia Yu to sort out all the shops under her name and went out to inspect the shops.

Su Ying held the account book in her hand. A clothing store located on the main street was losing money every month with the account books delivered. Su Ying decided to start with this store first.

The store has an excellent location. It is located at the intersection of three main streets. There is a lot of traffic. When Su Ying walked into the store, it was empty. The waiter was sitting in the store and taking a nap.

Su Ying looked around the store and saw that the clothes inside were of old styles and extremely rough fabrics. Chunlan knocked on the table and asked, "Where's the boss? Didn't you see anyone coming?"

The waiter then wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up and said, "Please take a look, sir. If you like it, there is a fitting room where you can try it on."

Chunlan picked up a piece of clothing at random and asked: "The styles of the clothes in your store are too ugly, and the materials are better than those worn by the maids in our house."

The waiter took a look at the clothes of several people and saw that Su Ying was dressed extremely richly. A gleam flashed in his eyes: "The clothes outside are all sold to country women. It is natural for someone as noble as Miss. If you don’t like it, if you really want to buy some clothes, why don’t you go to the back with me, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Su Ying reached out and touched the tiara on her head: "As long as I close my eyes when buying things, the price is not an issue."

The waiter immediately saw the jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand. It was crystal clear and round in color. It was of high quality at first glance, and he hurriedly led the few people to the back hall.

Several people walked along the long corridor and stopped in front of an extremely ordinary house.

After the waiter went in to report, the door was opened after a while. The ten fingers of the visitor were covered with golden rings. Even the hair crown on his head was made of pure gold. The patterns on his clothes were embroidered with gold thread. He had a big belly. The sun hit him, and the golden light shone.

Su Ying recognized the person at a glance as Liu Xun, the younger brother of Aunt Liu's mother.

After Aunt Liu entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Xun helped her run the shop and made a lot of money from it. However, he had never been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he didn't know Su Ying. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Su Ying. Quan did not allow him to enter the prime minister's house. When the old lady insisted on bringing Aunt Liu into the house, Su Quan said that except for Aunt Liu and Su Lian, Aunt Liu's family members were not allowed to approach the prime minister's house.

Seeing that Su Ying was dressed like a rich lady, Liu Xun quickly nodded and said, "Miss, please come in. We have clothes made of fine mulberry silk. They are very cool to wear this summer, and the styles we make are all the best at the moment." Popular styles. Whatever style you like, miss, just try it on."

Su Ying entered the room. As expected, the room was filled with all kinds of clothes and jewelry. It was dizzying to see. Su Ying picked out many styles and tried them on one by one. Liu Xun was waiting on her attentively. He happily packed up the things Su Ying liked one by one.

Su Ying pretended to mention it accidentally: "Boss, these clothes and styles of yours are all best-selling styles, and the location of this shop is also very good. Why don't you put these clothes and jewelry in the main hall outside, but in the backyard?" ?”

Liu Xun touched his chin and said: "As a distinguished guest like Miss, we recognized your identity as soon as you entered the door. What a distinguished person like you needs is a private space, which can make you more distinguished in the inner hall." .”

Su Ying naturally didn't believe his nonsense. She suddenly understood why the shop had been losing money. It turned out that Liu Xun used the outside shop as a cover and used all the money on the books to run the shop in the back hall. In this way, they You can do nothing and put all the income into your own pocket.

Su Ying asked calmly: "How much are the clothes I bought just now? Can you help me calculate it?"

Seeing this, Liu Xun hurriedly picked up the abacus on the side and fiddled with it. After a while, he said: "The two clothes the lady bought are made of mulberry silk. One piece is one thousand nine hundred and eighty taels, and two pieces are three thousand nine hundred taels." One hundred and sixty taels, including these jewelry, the total is ten thousand and eighty taels. Miss bought so much, I will give you a small change, you can give me ten thousand taels."

When Chunlan on the side heard this number, her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide: "This thing is ten thousand taels. The price is too outrageous."

Seeing that she looked like she had never seen the world, Liu Xun raised his chin and said, "Girl, you should also look at the materials. Your young lady has a good eye and the things she chooses are all shipped from the Western Regions. The embroidery is all done stitch by stitch by the embroiderers, and the jewelry is all top-quality Hetian jade, and ten thousand taels is not expensive at all."

Su Ying smiled lightly and said: "I am a maid who has never seen the world and made the shopkeeper laugh. Could you please take these things to the carriage?"

After saying that, he motioned to Xia Yu to get the banknote. Xia Yu took out a banknote worth ten thousand taels and handed it over.

Chunlan still wanted to speak, but Su Ying glanced at her. Chunlan quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking.

After several people left the shop, Su Ying took them to the restaurant opposite and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Through the window grilles, you can just see the door of the ready-made clothing store, and you can see many people coming in and out, all carrying exquisite packages in their hands. Some of the clothes they wear are very gorgeous, and they all look like people of great wealth.

Chunlan ate the cakes and asked, "Miss, this shop has a lot of customers every day, so why do the account books delivered every month always show losses?"

Su Ying glanced at Chunlan and said, "Even you can tell. The account books sent to me are probably fake. Someone deliberately let me see the accounts with losses."

Chunlan asked again: "Then the young lady didn't reveal her identity just now, let the shopkeeper reveal his true colors."

Su Ying rolled her eyes at him: "You are just trying to scare the snake. We don't have a real account book. If we are in a hurry and let him destroy the real account book, how can we confront him?"

Only then did Chunlan suddenly realize: "So the lady bought those things to see if there would be ten thousand taels of silver in next month's account?"

Su Ying nodded: "You are right this time."

After they had eaten and drank enough, they went to other shops and transferred the money to Liu Xun's own pocket using the same method.

When Su Ying returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she asked Su Quan for some secret guards. Su Quan pointed out a few secret guards to Su Ying without asking anything.

Su Ying asked the secret guards to monitor Liu Xun and find the real account book and bring it back.

The secret guard quickly got hold of it, and the real account book soon came into Su Ying's hands.

In her previous life, Su Ying, the housekeeper of the palace, had these account books at her fingertips. She quickly calculated that the profits of all the shops in one year were as high as more than 200,000 taels of silver.

Su Ying gave the account book to Su Quan. Su Quan never asked about the affairs of the inner house, and he never thought that all his money was transported back to his parents' home by Aunt Liu.

When Liu Xun was taken to Dali Temple with his men, Liu Xun, who had always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, confessed everything before being tortured.

Dali Temple seized Liu Xun's family property, and more than two million taels of silver were found. This did not include all the money Liu Xun had squandered over the years. Liu Xun was eventually sentenced to exile. All the items from the East and West Dali Temple were handed over to Su Quan. Su Quan converted them into silver notes and handed them to Su Ying.
