There are hundreds of officials, large and small, in the Northern Li Dynasty. Ye Qianning feels that he has to go through it all over again. The movements of any official's residence must be kept in his hands to prepare for emergencies.
As soon as Ye Qianning walked out of the house after cleaning up, she met Shaoyao and led a woman in her thirties up the stairs.
“Seven Yanniang.”
“Pang Tuan, is your sixth aunt gone?” Shaoyao glanced at the door.
“Just left.”
“Miss Wu is impatient, and she is very anxious every time she comes.” Shaoyao sighed, then laughed again: “Ms. An, come, this is my fat group, the owner of Siyinfang.”
Ms. An, who was following behind, was already very surprised when she heard Ye Qianning calling her "Qi Niang". Now that she heard that it was her boss, she looked shocked and looked at her more carefully: "Hello, boss."
“Auntie, is this...?”
“Siyinfang was originally opened for you. Now that you are back, everything will naturally be handed over to you.” Shaoyao said with a smile.
“Auntie, Siyinfang is the hard work you and Sixth Auntie have accumulated over the years...”
Shaoyao raised his hand and took her hand to stop what she was going to say: "This is what my aunt has prepared for you. If you refuse, your sixth aunt and I will be sad."
Ye Qianning paused for a moment and swallowed the words of rejection: "Okay."
Shaoyao smiled happily and turned to Mrs. An and said: "In the future, as long as the boss orders me, everyone in Siyinfang must comply with it. Anyone who doesn't obey will be kicked out directly."
"yes."
Mrs. An responded and saluted Ye Qianning: "I'm in charge of all the big and small things in Siyinfang. If my lady boss needs anything, just ask her."
“Okay, there will be a lot of trouble for Mrs. An in the future, so just don’t find it too troublesome for Mrs. An.”
“I don’t dare.”
Mrs. An is sincere and respectful, and she knows how to read people.
Although the girl in front of me is ordinary in appearance, she has an extraordinary temperament and is by no means ordinary.
"Ms. An, go down and say hello to the girls in the shop, so as not to disturb my girls with some arrogance." Shaoyao warned.
“Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll go right away.”
Mrs. An bowed to the two of them and then withdrew.
"Why, aunt, there are still thorns here?" Ye Qianning couldn't help but joke.
Shaoyao sighed and smiled when he heard this: "Some of the girls in Siyinfang came here by selling themselves, some came here for wages, and there were also some official ladies who committed crimes and became slaves. After being bought by some powerful people, they were sent to It is inevitable that some people who come to Siyinfang to learn musical instruments are arrogant and pretentious. However, Siyinfang collects money to do things and is not a good person. No matter how high-spirited you are, you will still have to be three points lower when you meet the master, but for Those girls who learned musical instruments from the same class were very competitive and always made sarcastic remarks."
“Auntie’s piano players are all hired, are they paid monthly?”
"Yes, some are half apprentices and half teachers. You also know how good your Sixth Yiniang is at playing the piano. The apprentices she has taught are more than enough to teach other girls."
Ye Qianning nodded with a little more understanding, but she was a little curious: "How is Siyinfang's income?"
“It’s not bad, I can earn over a thousand taels a month, but I have to pay a tax of 300 taels every month.”
"so tall?"
"Anyone who is not an imperial merchant needs to pay high taxes. This is why the capital is full of imperial merchant shops." Shaoyao sighed: "Although the amount of money paid by an imperial merchant is not much, the accounts must be submitted to the officials for verification every month. , extracting interest from monthly transactions.”
