Chapter 633: Imitation of Ventriloquism
Chapter 633: Imitation of Ventriloquism
This was something Jiang Fugui and his wife had discussed. If Liu Ya's name was not under their names, they would just raise her as their niece and provide her with a dowry in the future.
But once their name is recorded, she is their daughter. When she gets married in the future, she will return to her own family. Although it is not as close as a biological child, it is not good to be too close.
Liu Ya was deeply moved. With tears in her eyes, she suddenly walked to the table and knelt down with a plop.
"Dad! Mom!" These words were so sincere and touching that they moved people.
Not to mention Jiang Youzhen and the others, even the other servants were moved to tears.
Liu Ya sobbed. She had never called her parents "dad" before because she felt she was unworthy, not because she didn't want to.
In fact, she had already regarded Jiang Fugui and his wife as her own parents. So what if they were her own children? They treated her like a piece of grass. After coming here, they raised her like a jewel. Even if she gave birth to a man in the next life, it would not be enough to repay them.
"Oh!" The couple responded at the same time and couldn't help but wet their eyes with tears.
They stepped forward and helped Liu Ya up, and the three of them hugged each other.
"Ahem! Um, did you forget about me?" Jiang Youzhen saw Shen being hugged, and hurriedly squeezed forward and hugged Shen.
Shen looked at Jiang Youzhen, who was rarely acting childishly, and then looked at Liu Ya, her eyes filled with complexity.
She made a good connection, naturally for Jiang Youzhen's sake. In the future, she would find a good family for Liu Ya, so that if anything happened to Jiang Youzhen, she would have a way out.
After all, the two have a good relationship. Liu Ya was also rescued by Xiao Lang. Liu Ya is kind-hearted, well-behaved, and grateful. She will not just watch Xiao Lang and leave him alone.
They had to pave all the roads, and hide part of the money they earned separately, not putting it in the account books, to ensure that Xiaolang would have no worries in the future.
"Second brother?" Liu Ya felt a little embarrassed and called out quickly.
"You still call me Second Brother, but according to our family ranking, you should call me Fourth Brother." Jiang Youzhen calculated that her ranking kept changing and it was a headache for her.
"Then I'll be called Si Lang?" Isn't that the same as the Fourth Prince? When she was called Si Lang, she always felt like she was calling the Fourth Prince.
"Just call him Xiaolang! We're used to it!" Shen shook her head. They were all used to calling him that.
Moved for a moment, Jiang Youzhen was about to sit down and continue eating, but Jiang Fugui said, "Xiaolang gets 20% because she started it, and everything is hers, and we still feel that we are wronging her. After that, you each get 10%, because every child gets something, and we won't cheat anyone."
"Well! I'll tell Daya and the others about this when they come. If anyone dares to object, I'll be the first to punish them."
Shen nodded. These things had to be said openly, otherwise the sisters would definitely say bad things about her in the future.
"How dare they object? What else do they want when it's given to them for free? This is the business Xiaolang found for us, and it's good enough for them."
Jiang Fugui thought about it and felt fortunate that his three sons-in-law were all of good character, otherwise they would not have given him any dividends until he was dead.
"Call them back tomorrow, sign the contract, and give each of them a copy." Shen is now a decisive person, and she does what she says.
The Jiang family does not have the rules of aristocratic families, and they will chat about things while eating.
"Xiao Ya's rouge and powder have recently added a lot of new products. I think they are good after using them. I also gave some to others and the response was good. The shop has been opened. Once the new products are put in, they will definitely be popular."
Shen was very interested when she talked about this. Women all liked rouge and powder. She and Xiaoya developed these together and also found something to do.
"The cosmetics shop is doing well right now, and mother and Xiaoya have made great contributions."
Jiang Youzhen smiled. These two people really love each other!
The cosmetics shop in Beijing had already opened. I thought it would be difficult to do business because it had no reputation. Jiang Youzhen later came up with an idea to distribute flyers and hold a grand opening promotion. The business was good right after the opening. Jiang Youzhen expected that the business would drop a lot after the promotion ended. Unexpectedly, because of the good quality of the cosmetics, the customer base expanded again.
Now that the cosmetics shop is planning to expand in size, it has also bought the small tavern next to it and is currently connecting the partitions.
"That's right, the little girl has talent!"
The family adapted quickly, and Liu Ya is the youngest child in the family from today on.
The family atmosphere is warm and happy.
After saying this, he talked about Jiang Youzhen's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. "Xiaolang, when can you apply for a leave to visit your family? The clan leader wrote to me and learned that you had won the first place in the imperial examination. He was very excited and the whole clan celebrated.
He also asked you when you would be back. He has already started to have someone erect a memorial archway for the top scholar. The ancestral hall has already been built. He plans to wait for you to return and then bring back the memorial tablets so that you can offer sacrifices to your ancestors."
Jiang Fugui's face was full of smiles when he talked about this. The Jiang family was proud of Jiang Youzhen, because the number one scholar had not appeared in the surrounding area for decades. Qinghe Village was very proud of it.
"I have already applied to the higher authorities, but there are too many people who want to go back to their hometowns to visit their relatives, so I have to wait for a while."
Jiang Youzhen planned to go back before the beginning of summer, as she couldn't stand the heat along the way. Now it was already the end of April, so she had to speed up her work at the Hanlin Academy and finish it before her family leave.
"Then tell me when you can come back, and I have to make arrangements here." Jiang Fugui couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of returning home in glory.
After finishing her meal and returning to the study, Jiang Youzhen found that Jiang Huai was still doing the accounting, but he was almost done. This was just one of the account books. If this puppet was not as fast as her own, she would think it was useless.
"Young Master, I've done the math!" Jiang Huai quickly handed over the account book in his hand. Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it. It was the same as what he had calculated, with no deviation. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
However, I was surprised to see that he calculated the expenses and revenue separately and finally used addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
There were no vertical calculations such as multiplication and division in ancient times, and Jiang Youzhen had also seen the recording methods of those account offices, where expenditures and revenues were mixed together and calculated on a daily basis, which was a bit messy.
Products produced by the system are indeed not ordinary items.
She suddenly thought, why not buy a few smart ones and use Jiang Huai to train them. These people will be her own accountants in the future, and she will have to do more business in the future. If she trains her own accountants and keeps the indentures in her hands, wouldn't that be better?
She looked at Jiang Huai, and suddenly she had an idea. Using her own name to make a living was against the rules, but it was OK for a puppet! She could get them household registration, and then put the property in the hands of the puppet, so she wouldn't be afraid of betrayal.
The more Jiang Youzhen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She was truly a genius!
However, we need to find someone who specializes in this kind of thing. I'll let San ask about it when I have time.
The next day, Jiang Youzhen put on his official uniform and went to the Imperial Academy to report for duty. As soon as he entered the door, a familiar reminder sound came.
