After I Transmigrated into the Book, I Pampered the Powerful Official

Chapter 279
In the following days, there was no time for Chen Xiuyan to be impressed by the Tatar language of Ruan Yuanniang in the Mingyue Hall, she was almost overwhelmed by the annual ceremony.

Although the New Year's gift has been received one after another since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the large batches are still concentrated in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and most of them are sent to the royal relatives and officials in the capital.

Chen Xiuyan wanted to receive it, made a gift list, and also gave it away. After ordering the gift list, she suddenly felt that it was great that Luo Mingxin came to the capital. With Luo Mingxin's cooperation, Chen Xiuyan processed it very quickly.

"It seems that we Mingxin are girls who are already capable of being alone." Chen Xiuyan expressed her feelings, "I will leave it to you to organize the banquets for this year's Chinese New Year."

Luo Mingxin was both surprised and happy, but also worried, "Auntie, can I do it?"

"Why not? You're very good at it." Chen Xiuyan praised, "Before you just learned how to run a house, and didn't practice it. These things are actually accumulated experience. If you do more and more, practice makes perfect, and you have considered everything." Chen Xiuyan Said, "The population of our house is fairly simple, just enough for you to get started."

"Don't worry, even if you make a mistake, don't be afraid. It's all your own family, and sometimes it's a good thing to make mistakes. The more mistakes you encounter, the more thoughtful, comprehensive and accurate you will be in doing things."

"Then, let me try?" Luo Ming was eager to try, and Chen Xiuyan nodded in approval.

At the end of the year, Chen Xiuyan directly acted as the shopkeeper, and let Luo Mingxin handle all of it. Therefore, in the huge Jinwangfu, people found that the concubine of Jinwang was very leisurely, drinking tea, eating cakes, occasionally writing, and spending a certain amount of money every day. Wenshui Junjun almost buried himself in the council hall.

The wind direction of the master in the mansion determines the movements of the servants. Luo Mingxin has not been in Jinwang Mansion in the capital for a long time, and the servants and maids are already respectful, but after this incident, they respect her even more.

"Auntie, there's something wrong with this account."

It took Luo Mingxin two full days to check all the accounts in the mansion, and on the night of the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, he went to Chen Xiuyan to tell him what he found.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuyan asked with a smile.

"What are the prices of ingredients, charcoal, etc. in the capital? I asked Huahe and Huaxi to go to the street to inquire. The price on the account is a bit more expensive. Of course, compared with the purchase month, the price is higher now that it is approaching the end of the year." Luo Mingxin said.

"Have you calculated how much it costs in total?" Chen Xiuyan continued to ask.

"It is reasonable to buy a lot of things, and the price is cheaper. The purchase is in large quantities, and the price must be more reasonable. Taking the charcoal in the second half of this year as an example, I think it is 300 taels more expensive than I estimated in my heart. " Luo Mingxin said truthfully.

"You estimated the discounted price for mass purchases. How expensive are these retail prices?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"It's not that expensive, it's more than a few dozen taels." Luo Mingxin replied, and she asked Huahe and Huaxi to inquire about the purchase price, which was from a big family like XX's mansion, so it was naturally cheaper than retailing. , Of course, I also asked about the retail price, so I made the current conclusion.

"Mingxin, Auntie told you that you have to turn a blind eye to some things in the hands of the master, especially when dealing with servants who prostitute themselves." Chen Xiuyan began to educate Luo Mingxin, "It's like the master is happy to give the servants It is the same principle to give a reward to someone who has done outstanding things, as long as it is within the appropriate range."

"You also said just now that it is the difference between retailing and purchasing, but those purchasing prices are negotiated by the person in charge of purchasing, thus setting this more favorable price, it is their own ability, of course, it also has something to do with family status , will give more discounts because of family status."

"But don't talk about officials and officials, even merchants and ordinary people, as long as the quantity is large, they can have the opportunity to negotiate prices."

"Purchasing is a job that is rich in oil and water. It can be found anywhere, including restaurants and restaurants, let alone a family like ours."

"As long as the amount of money we get is not too much, we know it well. But if the amount is too much, it means that the purchasers are getting more and more greedy. At this time, we need to beat and beat. If the other party can correct it, it's not a big deal. If it can't be corrected, this We can no longer use people."

"Almost all the people in our house are responsible for the purchases are trusted servants. I think that compared to other houses, their kickbacks may not be much. Those kickbacks are given by the sellers voluntarily, and they hardly take our money. It is normal to have a situation where both ends eat, as long as it is not excessive."

Luo Mingxin frowned for a while, nodded for a while, and finally turned into a question, "Auntie, if our family doesn't have so much income..."

"So in the final analysis, we still have to be able to make money." Chen Xiuyan said with emotion, "In the past, we didn't have much money and didn't have much property. Of course, there were not many servants at that time, and almost all the purchases were done by ourselves."

"But it's different now. Having money and income in hand, these are things that can be more magnanimous. This can also make people more loyal to us. Compared with loyalty from the bottom of their hearts, it is actually more about interests. Loyalty to God, Mingxin, you have to recognize this fact.”

"Of course, there are servants who can be regarded as family members. These people need you to discover and maintain slowly. Family members need emotional interests to maintain."

"Auntie, I will digest and understand these words carefully." Luo Mingxin was very convinced by Chen Xiuyan, and what she said must make sense.

After Luo Mingxin's behavior, Chen Xiuyan Mingrui found out that this girl has become clear about rewards and punishments, and she will use her own way to win people's hearts. These are all good phenomena and a manifestation of growth.

But Chen Xiuyan couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw it. In modern times, she was still in an ivory tower. People in ancient times matured earlier, because of society.

"The annual ceremony in Shouyang County hasn't arrived yet?" Although Chen Xiuyan said that this year's Chinese New Year is nothing to do, she still knows what she should know.

"Not yet." Mother Mu replied.

"It shouldn't be, it's already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month." Chen Xiuyan frowned slightly, "I remember that the New Year's gift from the Shuntian Mansion Yin's Mansion was delivered a few days ago."

"Yes." Mu Momo affirmed.

"Second Sister, nothing will happen. We even received a letter from her after we entered Beijing." Chen Xiuyan became a little worried. This year is Luo Wensel's first time since she got married. I don't know if it's appropriate. To adapt, have not been wronged.

"Second aunt's backyard is as clean as our family's eldest son. Second aunt's grandma will definitely not be wronged. Shuntian Prefecture's government will also take into account the face of our Jin Palace and will not interfere. It may be that the snow on the road has slowed down for a few days." Mu Nam Mammy reassured.
