A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

"Masakazu, these are the account books for the period from the reopening to the day before yesterday."

In the study, Qin Suiyou was flipping through the account books that Jinwen had brought, while holding little Beitang Rui in his arms.

Today, Prince An and his wife went to the Hua Mansion. They originally planned to take a few of the younger generation to see Hua Yuan Mountain, but after some consideration, the couple decided to go there first.

Before leaving, the couple asked Qin Suiyou if he had anything important to do that day, and then sent Beitang Rui to Wutong Courtyard. The little baby, who had been staying in Shian Courtyard all day and was becoming increasingly energetic, was already quite unhappy.

The baby is very energetic but also very well-behaved. Sitting on his sister-in-law's lap, he plays with his little toys, occasionally looking up at his sister-in-law with his round, dark eyes. His little hands will grab at her clothes or her hair, but he won't pull hard. His little actions are incredibly cute.

As Qin Suiyou freed one hand to flip through the ledger, Beitang Rui, whose neck strength was still relatively weak, tilted his head to look at it, appearing very serious. Seeing this, Qin Suiyou asked before turning to the next page, "Have you finished reading?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Beitang Rui raised his chin slightly and then lowered it again, as if he had nodded slightly, and seemed to have mumbled a "hmm" in his mouth.

Qin Suiyou smiled and said, "Then let's turn to the next page."

"I want to see too."

Beitang Yan was reading his own book when he heard his wife's voice soften unconsciously when she spoke to his younger brother. He couldn't sit still, so he put down his book and sat down next to his wife.

"Can you read accounting books?"

To be honest, if Beitang Yan could read the ledgers, Qin Suiyou would be very happy to give him this job.

However, Beitang Yan glanced at Gao Yu, who had finally returned from studying with his father and was sitting opposite him. Seeing that Gao Yu was looking down and not meeting his gaze, he seriously picked up the account book, looked at it, and then said, "This is quite simple. I can understand it."

"It's not just about being able to read the words."

As he spoke, Qin Suiyou took back the account book.

Beitang Yan sniffed and said, "Then let me hold him, so his drool won't get on it and make a mess."

Qin Suiyou gave a helpless twitch of his lips. This guy had actually learned to slander his own brother. But it was good to let Beitang Yan hug him for a while, so that the two brothers could get to know each other better.

Unexpectedly, the baby, who had been holding Qin Suiyou for a while and had been very well-behaved, opened his mouth and bit Beitang Yan's cheek as soon as he was in Beitang Yan's hands. Because he hadn't started teething yet and his gums were bare, and he wasn't very strong, it didn't hurt. It just covered Beitang Yan's face with saliva.

Unlike before, when he was just being affectionate with Qin Suiyou, this time it seems he's going to bite Beitang Yan.

"How did you..."

Beitang Yan carried the little guy, who had finally let go, a little further away. Gao Yu handed him a handkerchief at the right moment, and he immediately took it and vigorously wiped his mouth for a while.

"Who told you to slander him? He's taking revenge. Luckily, Rui Rui doesn't have teeth yet, or you would be in trouble today."

Qin Suiyou glanced at him and immediately knew what had happened. He smiled and told Beitang Yan why he had been bitten.

Upon hearing this, Beitang Yan's chest heaved a few times to calm his anger, then he pinched Beitang Rui's already round cheeks and rubbed them a few times with gritted teeth.

"You little brat, you stole my wife and even bit me! How are you like my brother at all?"

Listening to Beitang Yan's mutterings through clenched teeth, Gao Yu shook her head and carefully put away the used handkerchief, preparing to wash it later.

"I haven't been back to Wutong Courtyard for several days, and I didn't expect my young master's style to get more and more outrageous every day, sigh~"

Jinwen listened to Gao Yu's quiet complaints, but his expression remained gentle and unchanged.

"You've been studying with Master Gao these past few days, and you should have made some progress by now. Would you like to go help out at the bookstore?"

"Ok?"

Gao Yutong and Jin Wen leaned closer and asked, "Are you short-handed?"

Jinwen replied softly, "Yes, there is some. The bookstore has been doing very well lately, and the others are all busy with their own things. I thought you might not be too busy here, so I thought I'd ask you to help out."

“That’s Zhengjun’s property. Is it alright for me to go? Should we ask first…”

Jinwen shook her head. "You can ask, but Zhengjun will definitely agree. He won't care about those things unless you have ulterior motives."

"Of course not."

After the two finished speaking, Qin Suiyou also finished reading and listened to their conversation.

"You can go if you want. There's nothing wrong with helping Jinwen and Lanfeng share the burden."

Seeing that Qin Suiyou had said so, Gao Yu was naturally overjoyed.

"Thank you, Masakazu. I will not let you down!"

……

Southwest Bookstore enjoyed a long period of good business due to its novelty and comprehensiveness. When Jinwen took the account book to show Qin Suiyou, the inventory was almost sold out, so she also bought some goods from Qin Suiyou.

In addition to the stationery and books that Qin Suiyou provided, Jinwen also needed to order a batch of other regular stationery.

“We are still missing a few sets of newly added illustrated books. The bookstore doesn’t have the original texts. We’ll have to go to a bookstore further away to look for them. By the way, why does our bookstore sell so many illustrated books? I don’t think many people will buy them.”

Today, Jinwen stayed at the bookstore, while Gao Yu and Lan Feng went out to buy supplies. Gao Yu looked at the purchase order that already had several stamps on it and asked a question.

Lan Feng was very happy to hear Gao Yu raise this question.

"You're not yet familiar with the business, so you don't know that the new items on this purchase order are all the results of a survey we sent out, and they are all things that consumers need."

Hearing Lan Feng use several new words that she had never heard before, Gao Yu tried her best to make a face that didn't make her look silly, and nodded, saying, "I see."

"Haha, we've been through the same stage, I understand you."

As he spoke, Lan Feng patted Gao Yu on the shoulder.

Gao Yu gave a forced smile, thinking: Maybe it's better not to understand...

The two men told the shop assistant who was carrying the goods to take the purchased items back first, and then they headed towards East Zheng Street. Most of their counterparts on West Zheng Street knew them, so if they wanted to buy something from someone else's shop, they would have to avoid them.

"Gao Yu".

"Ok?"

Upon hearing his name, Gao Yu thought it was Lan Feng calling him, but after turning to look at Lan Feng, he realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong with me?"

Seeing Lan Feng's equally puzzled expression, Gao Yu looked around, but didn't see any familiar faces.

"Gao Yu".

Hearing his own name again, Gao Yu finally recognized the familiarity in it. This time, Lan Feng also heard the voice, and the two of them turned around at the same time to look at the source of the sound behind them.

"Xu Huai!"
