Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

"Second Miss, you are so amazing!"

Xiangyun's face was full of admiration. She had grown up with the Second Young Miss since she was a child, but she had no idea that her Second Young Miss knew so much and even had some knowledge of the boring and remote art of growing tea. In this world, what else was there that her Second Young Miss didn't know?

"Xiangyun, don't speak to the Second Miss in such an rude way!"

Uncle Tian was shocked to see that his daughter did not distinguish between superiors and subordinates in front of Shen Qingyu and dared to say anything. After all, the master is the master, how could a servant be so disrespectful to her master? Although the second young lady was kind to them, servants, they should also know their limits and understand what to say and what not to say.

"Uncle Tian, ​​it's okay."

Shen Qingyu didn't care about these things. Uncle Tian would probably never know how much hardship and suffering his daughter had endured in order to stay with the second young lady wholeheartedly.

As a supporting actress, she was tortured beyond recognition in the Xu family. After Xu Mingsheng had used her up, he threw her away like garbage. Xiangyun, her maid, ended up being sold and wandering around. She found the Shen family and came to them for help but was beaten to death.

It was precisely because Xiangyun was always thinking about Shen Qingyu, that even though she had fallen into such a situation, she still wanted to ask the Shen family for help and let the Shen family save Shen Qingyu.

If not for this, Xiangyun might have been able to save her life.

Uncle Tian followed closely behind Shen Qingyu, holding the account book.

"How's the investigation going? Do you know who is trying to make things difficult for our Shen family at this time?"

Thousands of new tea branches that were tributed to the court died, but other tea trees were safe and sound and alive and well. This was clearly aimed at the Shen family's power as imperial merchants next year, in order to make the Shen family suffer a major setback in this matter.

In the courtyard, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, and the petals are scattered like stars, falling with the wind.

Shen Qingyu reached out to catch a petal, brought it under his nose and smelled it. The managers of the tea house seemed panicked, but in fact they were all fearless and confident. Aren't they afraid that Shen Chuanhe would punish them for dereliction of duty?

Uncle Tian reported back, "Four years ago, all the seedlings of these tens of thousands of new tea plants were bought by Manager Li, who spent three thousand taels of silver. After the seedlings were planted, Manager Li asked the government for a lot more money, saying that the new tea needed someone to take care of it. Over the past four years, including the planting, pruning, weeding, replanting of missing plants, cold and drought protection, the money spent has never stopped."

It’s really a lucrative job.

He could find any few excuses to ask for money from the mansion, and take it from Shen Chuanhe, who valued money more than anything else.

No wonder Shen Chuanhe fainted as soon as he heard that something happened to Cha Miao. Now he is still so seriously ill. It seems that it was all caused by the money.

Manager Li is really greedy. Isn't he afraid that he will get the money but not spend it?

Shen Qingyu sneered, "My father is quite willing to do so."

The cultivation of this new tea is simply a bottomless pit. Once you invest, you get no harvest and instead lose all your money.

"The master is determined to become the royal merchant of Longjing tribute tea, so as to bring honor to his ancestors and revive the Shen family. Every time, Manager Li speaks sweet words and flatters the master, he can make the master very happy. He thinks that the day when the new tea grows will be the day when the Shen family will make a fortune." Uncle Tian sighed deeply.

The Shen family is now in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to grow tea. How can he make the Shen family prosperous?

The Shen family has been in the tea business for generations, but the title of tea merchant could still maintain its reputation in the hands of the old man. Now that it has fallen into the hands of Shen Chuanhe, the position of royal merchant has to be planned again and again, otherwise it will never fall into the hands of the Shen family.

Without the golden signboard of the imperial tribute tea, what would be left of the Shen family's reputation as a tea merchant? How long could this huge store last?

While the Qi family and the Wei family were prospering in Jinling City, the Shen family was declining day by day. Apart from the reputation and property accumulated by their ancestors, there was probably nothing left.

It may be difficult to revive the Shen family.

"Now my father is so angry that he is seriously ill..."

Shen Qingyu found it funny to think that when he asked Shen Chuanhe for the five thousand taels of silver, Shen Chuanhe felt so painful that he was about to faint again.

But Shen Chuanhe was cheated of so much money by Manager Li and didn't even get a piece of tea. What did Manager Li say to Shen Chuanhe? Shen Chuanhe didn't blame him and even let him continue to be the manager of the villa.

Shen Qingyu sneered, "Uncle Tian, ​​don't you find it strange? Our Shen family obviously has plenty of tea seedlings, but this Manager Li chose to buy them from outside. Is he just greedy for the three thousand taels of silver? People who know how to grow tea should know that tea seedlings are cultivated with mother tea tree branches, and the excellent varieties of mother tea trees can be maintained. And our Shen family has several villas, and some of them are mother tea trees that are growing well. If the Shen family cultivates tea seedlings themselves, wouldn't it be better than buying them from outside, and it can also save a lot of money. Manager Li will understand this kind of killing two birds with one stone. He can fool my father, but people who know the inside story will never do this."

"Second Miss is right. There must be something fishy going on here!" Uncle Tian saw Shen Qingyu had thought of this and stepped forward happily. "Second Miss, look, this account book only records the money spent on buying the tea seedlings, but it doesn't record where the tea seedlings were bought from."

"Thousands of tea seedlings are not a small number, and they are top-quality tea seedlings. If we want to take them out at once, I'm afraid that in the entire Jinling Prefecture, there will be no one else except those two families."

Shen Qingyu felt that such an inference was absurd. What she and Uncle Tian could think of, was Shen Chuanhe deceived by Butler Li?

Is he too stupid? Or am I too smart?

"No wonder he got himself into such a rage, haha!"

The new tea that the Shen family used to pay tribute to the imperial court was actually bought from their rival. Since when did business become all about conscience?

Throughout history, businessmen have been the most cunning and treacherous, and sincerity is a rare word in the business world.

Shen Chuanhe was so stupid that he deserved to be cheated.

"Second Miss, what should we do next?"

Uncle Tian was very worried. There was no hope of presenting the new tea as tribute to the court. However, the quality of the tea picked from other tea trees was uneven. Even if the Shen family had ten times the courage, they would not dare to present such tea as tribute to the court.

"Second Miss, should we send someone to inform the master so that he can make preparations early?"

Deceiving the imperial court is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your clan!
