Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 199 More Like an Adult

Wang Jinyi had something to discuss with his grandfather, so he decided to take advantage of today rather than wait for a date. Today was the right time to do it. He would first make arrangements for his parents, and then talk about his and his brother's affairs.

After his grandfather finished speaking, the main hall fell silent. Wang Jinyi thought about it and raised his hand first, then remembered that there was no such thing as raising your hand to speak. After a moment's hesitation, he asked his mother beside him softly:

"Mom, can I talk now?"

Before her mother could express her opinion, the grandparents in the seats focused their eyes on Wang Jinyi. Wang Jinyi timidly walked to the middle of the main hall, holding the ribbon of her skirt and looking at her grandfather.

Grandfather was the first to ask:

"Jin'er, do you have anything to ask?"

"Is grandpa's place far away? Is it dangerous? Is the weather good? What are the conditions like? Is there housing? What do you eat every day? What is the housing like? ..."

Listening to Wang Jinyi's series of questions like beads on a string, everyone in the hall did not expect that such a small head could think about things so carefully and worry so much about her parents!

Seeing the elders in the hall exchanging glances with each other, Wang Jinyi patiently waited for their responses.

Only the elder brother Wang Wendong asked his sister quietly:

"Jin'er, what do you want to ask? Why are you asking so many questions?!"

Wang Jinyi did not look back at his brother, but just stared at the parents who were sitting in the upper seats.

Grandfather's clear and precise answer came slowly:

"It's far away, but not dangerous. The living conditions are the same as the small courtyard where you went to meet the clan leader, a quadrangle.

The tribe has sent many people, so there won't be any beasts that can hurt people. The living conditions are not as good as those in the capital, but there is food and drink.

Shuli can review his lessons there and prepare for the imperial examination three years later, so he will be more confident."

"actually……"

Grandma suddenly wanted to interrupt, but stopped after looking at grandpa.

"You tell the children," said the grandfather.

Grandmother spoke:

"This time when Shuli goes to see Zulin, the people sent by the clan have already gone there. We can just agree on who will go with you to avoid being without available men.

Actually, Jin Er asked this because she was worried about the conditions there and her parents' safety, right?"

Wang Jinyi smiled calmly and did not answer. It turned out that the grandparents came to discuss the personnel arrangements for the trip, so she bowed and returned to her seat.

Grandfather said to his grandson and granddaughter:

"Let's discuss something, you guys go play first!"

The elder brother led Wang Jinyi out of the main hall, caressed his sister's two little buds, and praised:

"My Jin'er is smart and always thinks things through."

Wang Jinyi thought about it and realized that after their parents left, she and her brother would have to help each other in the future, so she had to let her brother know something about her own strengths.

So he took Wang Wendong, Qingyu and the wet nurse behind him to his own small accounting office.

Seeing the young lady walking towards the accounting office, Qingyu quickly ran to the front, got the key, opened the door, lifted the curtain and waited for the young master and the young lady.

As soon as they entered the room, Wang Jinyi asked her brother to sit in the main seat and sat beside him. To let her brother have a general understanding of her own property, Wang Jinyi asked directly:

"Qingyu, please report the money and fixed assets in our account to the young master."

Qingyu quickly found several of her account books and began to report the accounts. Wang Jinyi saw that Qingyu had misunderstood, so she waved her hand:

"Stop! Stop it."

"Qingyu, let me ask, and you speak."

“Qingyu, we have signed several contracts, but the dividends have not yet arrived.”

"Miss has six accounts. The Xie family has not received any dividends from the contract for "Revenge" signed between the Fu Wang. The Xie family has signed a contract for the past nine storybooks, but the dividends from the additional printing have not been received. The dividends from the contract for making pencils with the clan have not been received. The clan has signed a contract for printing Miss's storybooks. The money has not been received either.

This time, my great-uncle came and signed a contract for the dividends of colored pencils that had not yet been received. He also took away a copy of Miss's new poetry collection "Evening Songs" and signed a contract. These dividends have not yet arrived."

"Qingyu, what kind of property do we have?"

“Miss, we now have two parts, the first is the real estate part, and the second is the business part.

There are two real estate parts. One is Ku Shui Mountain, which was just purchased and is currently under construction. It is not making money but is costing money.

Another thing is that we have a shop called "Yuan Feng Mao" which is currently being rented out. This has a fixed profit, but we still owe the public money for buying the shop."

Operating profit means Tai Sheng Rice Shop makes money through operation, and currently it is making stable profits. "

"Qingyu, how much cash do we have now?"

"Miss, if you don't count your personal property, we currently have more than 380 taels of silver on our books."

"Qingyu, urge Wenbai to sell the rights to publish The Peach Garden Oath as soon as possible, raise funds as soon as possible, and try to get 500 taels of silver notes for mother, and then exchange them for 50 taels of silver to take with her on the road."

Qingyu listened while quickly taking out a small notebook and taking notes with a pencil.

"Qingyu, before we go back to the old house, you need to make a total of all the rentals outside the mansion, the staff that I need to support, and the expenses. We only need to keep enough for three months of expenses, minus the part that my parents took away, and report it to me as soon as possible."

Wang Jinyi was fully focused on making plans for her parents, especially wanting to set aside enough funds for her parents to take away, and for a while she somewhat neglected her brother.

Wang Wendong didn't expect that his sister was so rich. In comparison, he felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Jinyi turned around and asked his brother:

"Brother, how about I assign you a bodyguard?"

Wang Wendong was surprised and didn't say anything at first, then he shook his head:

"I don't want a guard."

Wang Jinyi held her brother's hand stubbornly and advised:

"Brother, when we return to the old house, the road to school will be too far for you. It's not safe to travel on the road in winter.

I have already picked someone. From now on, you will have a guard to accompany you to and from school every day.

Back at the old house, if we live separately, someone will have to protect you in your yard. In addition to the two maids who will take care of you, there will be a servant and a guard.

If we can still move back to the second courtyard, we can live in one courtyard and the guard can live in the outer courtyard."

After hearing this, Wang Wendong stopped objecting. Wang Jinyi continued:

"I just showed you that I have multiple money-making projects. You don't have to worry about money. Even if the government doesn't pay for the security, I will pay for you. Mother and father are not around, so we must pay more attention to safety.

Brother, I'm not assigning you a guard alone. I've also picked a maid. Only when we're safe can our parents feel at ease when they travel far away!"

"Jin'er, you are so thoughtful and considerate, and you have considered everything for our parents. You act like an adult, not like my little sister..."

Wang Jinyi thought of her three-year-old age and smiled innocently.
