Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 695 Family business is too tiring

In the following time, Prince Yong followed Xue Hong's statement and divided his subordinates into twenty groups.These close ministers have been staying at Prince Yong's house for several days, preliminarily organizing all the data into tables. As for the calculation and verification, they have not been carried out yet, and the new year is about to come.

According to the time given by the emperor, the results should be handed in in February after the end of the new year, so all the officials and ministers under Prince Yong, and even the trustworthy staff of each government, who can count, are all stepping up. Calculate the old accounts of those households.

As more and more calculation results are produced day by day, more and more problems are discovered day by day.Prince Yong is responsible for thinking about these mistakes and omissions, and who should take the blame.

Although most of the Hubu people are from Prince Yong, there are also some who cannot be trusted, or they are obviously subordinates of other elder brothers. They just took this opportunity to kill them all, and save a lot of trouble.

And everyone is busy, Xue Hong is no exception, but he doesn't have to live in Prince Yong's Mansion, most of the time he helps people calculate, brings a lot of forms home, and then gets into the space Count slowly.

The flow of time inside the space is much slower than outside, so the amount of calculation Xue Hong completes is relatively more.

On this day, as usual, Xue Hong got into her study as soon as she got home, and didn't leave anyone to wait on her. However, before entering the space for a while, Zhuxi knocked on the door: "Second Master, the master and wife let you go there for a while." going."

Xue Hong stepped out of the space and went to Xue Wang's room.

"Father, mother, what is the purpose of calling the child?"

Xue Yi said with a smile: "I know you've been busy recently, and if it's not a big deal, I can't bear to bother you as a father. It's just that your barbecue shop business is very good this winter. Your brother has already decided to hire you a lot of guys, and you still have some business. What happened in the morning, your brother will come later, let him tell you."

Just as he was talking, Xue Pan came in, he laughed a little when he entered the door, and said: "Hong'er, you always shut yourself in the room recently, did you not see how popular your shop is? After the previous two years of publicity, this year has a solid mass base, and five of your barbecue restaurants have opened in BJ City. The staff training and store management caravan have found suitable candidates for you. These are the accounts. Take a look when you are free. As for the dividends of Zhimeifang this year, it has been calculated, and it is all here. And..."

"Big brother, big brother," before Xue Pan finished speaking, Xue Hong interrupted him loudly, "Didn't I tell you that all these matters are up to you to decide, and you have to come and tell me what to do , and showed me the accounts? Didn’t you agree that you are responsible for all the business matters at home?”

Xue Pan said angrily: "Where can I go? You know how to be lazy. In the past, because you wanted to study, your parents told you not to distract you with these things. Now, your kid has passed the Jinshi exam. Studying is not the most important thing in your life anymore, why don't you come to help your brother before you take the official position? Although it is said that your brother is in charge of business, and you are in charge of reading and court affairs, but after all How much taels of silver can a poor official have? Even if he is a first-rank official and a first-class duke in the imperial court, his annual salary is only a thousand taels of silver, which is not enough for a month's income of your barbecue shop, is it possible? After you marry a daughter-in-law, can you count on that little salary and silver to live?"

Xue Yi also said: "Your brother is right. The court has not stipulated that officials cannot do business, right? You have been busy with the prince's affairs recently, and it is time to take over part of the family's business, or if you If you have new ideas and want to open a store, you can go ahead and do it. These should not be hard for you. Didn’t you say before that you want to make a barbecue shop into a national chain? I think this is also feasible. Anyway The meaning of the prince is to protect you for the time being, the more powerful the weapon, the more you must use it at the most critical moment, and it is good to wait for a few years to accumulate. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xue Hong nodded: "Father, I understand. It's just..."

Xue Hong looked at Xue Pan, Xue Pan understood Xue Hong's meaning with just one glance, and hurriedly said: "Don't look at me like this! Let me tell you, our Xue family's business has grown bigger and bigger in recent years, you But I really can’t just count on me alone, it’s tiring! Besides, so many weird ideas are all yours, shouldn’t you let the Xue family’s business grow better and better? If you are worried that I will If you feel dissatisfied or dissatisfied with joining the management of the Xue family's business, then I can tell you now that you don't have to think so. Instead, I think that if you are watching some things, I can relax a little bit and not be so tired. I'd better spend more time with your sister-in-law at home."

Speaking of this, Xue Hong remembered that after Xue Pan and Yingchun got married, her knees had been empty.Speaking of which, Xue Pan really spends very little time at home. Sometimes, out of twelve months a year, he can stay outside for eleven months, which is really hard.Even Xue Biao has to travel around within a few days after returning. This family business is really exhausting.

Xue Pan had already talked about this point, Xue Hong could only smile wryly and said: "Well, if this is the case, then I can't enjoy the happiness forever, and I have to do what I should do. But right now, it's still the prince's business more important."

The father and son briefly chatted about some things about the Xue family caravan. Xue Hong hurried back to her room, thinking that the form she brought back hadn't been calculated yet.

As soon as she entered the room, Qing Ying brought a tray covered with a silk scarf, and said with a smile, "Second Master, are you back? This is what the eldest girl came to give you just now, and there is also a letter."

Has Baochai been here?
That's right, Baochai was really negligent because he was busy with the affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion recently.Thinking about it, I haven't talked to her properly for almost a month.It turned out that he was not the only one who was busy. Seeing the new year, the big and small things in the mansion are now being dealt with by Yingchun and Baochai's sister-in-law. Mrs. Xue Wang is just watching from the side, there is a slight inconsistency. She pointed it out politely.

It's just that today the aunt and sister-in-law cooperated with each other tacitly, and everything that should be paid attention to was also taken into account. Xue Wang became more and more satisfied, and simply became the shopkeeper, and only focused on arranging Xue Hong's marriage.Thinking about it, the relationship between the Xue family in the past few years can only be more and more extensive. It is really rare for Baochai to help his sister-in-law manage things so well.

Xue Hong lifted the silk scarf with a smile, and her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside: "This is..."
