protect my lady

No one paid attention to the fact that there was an extra accountant in the Mu Mansion. After a month of sorting out the meridians, Mu Qingchen could be considered to have got a little trick, and his skills improved visibly with the naked eye.

For example, if she was just a somewhat delicate girl a month ago, then her current skill is about the same as that of an ordinary grown man.

After all, Fu Feiyu's daily dredging of the meridians is not for nothing, one dredging is equivalent to the average person's hard work for several days.

"Miss, this is the account book sent by various shops."

"Leave it alone." Mu Qingchen held the pen in his hand and continued to outline the outline of the characters on the drawing paper.

Mu Qingchen has been very smart since she was a child. As a businessman, Master Mu quickly invited her a teacher from Kaimeng after discovering this.

Apart from doing business, painting is Mu Qingchen's second best thing.

Looking at the person who already had outlines on the drawing paper, Mu Qingchen's eyes softened unconsciously.

"What's the overall profit and loss?"

"It's roughly the same as last month, because of the autumn harvest, Mipu's profit is slightly less." The steward who came to report back answered seriously.

Mu Qingchen nodded, and began to flip through the ledger that was almost half the height of a person.

"Is the medicine store not affected?" Mu Qingchen asked while watching.

"Go back to Missy, no."

This is strange, the medicinal materials that Liu Zizhao took from him are much cheaper than those from other channels, so it doesn't make sense to have one more competitor.

"In a while, send a few people to check the situation of the Liu family's medicinal material shop, and find out where the medicinal materials they took from us are placed, and how much the medicinal materials are sold for."

"Yes."

When Mu Qingchen was busy checking the ledgers, someone from Mu Qianqian's courtyard also sent ledgers, but the number was much smaller than that of Mu Qingchen.

"Second Miss, your shops have suffered a slight loss this month, especially the ready-to-wear shop." Hua Caicai said, dressed as a scholar, standing beside Mu Qianqian.

"A total loss of 53 taels?" Mu Qianqian looked at the account book in her hand, very dissatisfied with the result. "Why did the garment shop lose so much money?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I guess it's because other nearby shops have lowered the prices, and the customers are all going there." Hua Caicai frowned and thought, and asked inducingly, "Why don't the second miss follow suit?" Price cut?",

"That won't work. The reputation is good over there. If the price is too low, you will lose money." Mu Qianqian also has some business talents, knowing that it is impossible to fight a price war with Mu Qingchen.

"Then what if there is something wrong with the shop opposite?" Hua Caicai's eyes flashed brightly, and she slowly induced her with a bewitching tone, "For example, shoddy goods..."

The person Mu Qingchen sent to inquire about the news came back soon and reported the news he got.

"You actually transported the medicinal materials away?" Mu Qingchen frowned, full of puzzlement.

The Liu family is not as good as the Mu family. After leaving Suzhou, there are basically no branches. How could they suddenly transport the medicinal materials to Zhejiang?

Manpower and material resources are consumed during transportation, and even if it is shipped to Zhejiang, it will not make much difference in price.

"Is there any other news?" Mu Qingchen asked worriedly. It is impossible for a shrewd person like Liu Zizhao to do useless work.

The steward who started it shook his head.

"Okay, you go down and send a few more people to watch over there."

"Yes."

Mu Qingchen continued to flip through the ledger with a sullen face, and checked the accounts with the abacus beside him from time to time.

"Dong dong." Fu Feiyu held the tray in one hand, bent his fingers and knocked on the door frame, "Qingchen."

Mu Qingchen raised his head when he heard the words, and his expression softened when he saw that it was Fu Feiyu coming.

"How did you come?"

"This is the medicinal diet I prepared recently, try it." Fu Feiyu said with a smile, and put the bowl in front of Mu Qingchen.

Fu Feiyu is a master, but she is very dedicated. In order to be worthy of the 100 taels she gets every month, she has worked hard to help Mu Qingchen reborn.

After staying at Mu's house for a while, Fu Feiyu also knew that Mu Qingchen was in a bit of an embarrassing situation, and all she could do was to teach her martial arts as best she could before returning to Yashan.

One's own strength is the best reliance.

"Then thank you little master."

"You've already called me little master, this is what I should do." Compared with the shyness at the beginning, Fu Feiyu can no longer change his face when he hears the words "little master", and he can even pick up a few words. sentence.

Of course, the joy in my heart is indeed no less, and even a little more proud.

"Miss, the ginseng soup prepared by the back kitchen has arrived." Just when Mu Qingchen wanted to taste the medicinal food, her personal maid came in with ginseng soup.

"Can this herbal diet be taken with ginseng soup?" Mu Qingchen put down the spoon and raised his head to ask.

"Ginseng soup is a bit too nourishing for you. Although it doesn't conflict with the medicinal diet, it's better not to drink it." Fu Feiyu quickly gave the answer.

Her medicinal diet is specially prepared for Mu Qingchen, and the ingredients are quite particular, which is more suitable for Mu Qingchen than ginseng soup.

"Then I naturally want to listen to the little master." Mu Qingchen said with a smile, "The little master gave me the medicinal food, so I will give the little master a bowl of ginseng soup, the little master doesn't mind?"

"It's just reciprocity." Fu Feiyu liked Mu Qingchen's trust in her very much, so he picked up the ginseng soup that Xiao Cui was holding, and lifted the lid.

No, the ingredients of this ginseng soup are a bit strange.

Fu Feiyu's five senses have always been keen, and he soon noticed something wrong from the smell of ginseng soup.

"Xiao Cui, did you make this ginseng soup?"

Xiaocui was taken aback for a moment, and quickly replied, "I told the back kitchen to cook this earlier, and I went to get it just now."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the ginseng soup?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"This taste is a bit strange." Fu Feiyu didn't hide it from Mu Qingchen, "It seems that there are some other things in it."

"Qingchen, did you drink ginseng soup a few days ago?"

"I usually take this ginseng soup four times a month, and the last time was seven days ago." Hearing what Fu Feiyu said, Mu Qingchen also realized the importance of the matter, and hurriedly ordered, "Xiao Cui, go to the back kitchen, buckle up." The raw material of live ginseng soup!"

When Xiao Cui heard this, she ran away immediately and stopped before cleaning up.

Fu Feiyu has a lot of research on pharmacology. After a brief look at the ingredients, he found something wrong. There was an extra section of herbal medicine that shouldn't appear here.

"Who of you added this?" Fu Feiyu asked sharply, his sharp eyes swept across the kitchen staff.

"This...we don't know this, we haven't added this thing before." The cook in charge of making the soup said nervously.

"Who came during the soup cooking?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"I went to the hut twice during the period..." The cook lowered his head, "But there is no one in the back kitchen..."

So everyone has a chance?

Mu Qingchen was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Qingchen, do you feel unwell these days, such as waking up frequently at night?" Fu Feiyu asked worriedly.

Mu Qingchen thought for a while and then shook his head, "No, it's all sleep until dawn."

Because of having to get up early the next day to practice martial arts, Mu Qingchen usually doesn't stay up late, and goes to bed when it's almost dark.

"This herb is called Duanxiang. If you take it once according to the amount in the ginseng soup, you will wake up frequently at night, twice you will become insomnia, three times or four times you will not be able to sleep at night, and finally you will be alive..." Fu Feiyu said , his face was very unkind.

This herb is very destructive to the body. If she hadn't discovered it in time this time, Qingchen would have...

Fu Feiyu frowned and said, "Qingchen, I suggest you check out Mufu, this herbal medicine is not accessible to ordinary people."
