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

He slept in her arms for about half an hour. Qin Suiyou is not one to sweat easily, but when he woke up, he couldn't stand the sticky feeling on his body and changed his clothes.

Should I change it?

Qin Suiyou was covered in sweat, but the culprit didn't seem to feel anything. However, seeing that Qin Suiyou had changed his clothes, he asked himself if he should change as well.

After looking Beitang Yan up and down, Qin Suiyou said, "Let's change it."

It's fine to be particular when you have the means, and it's good to be diligent, since it's not like he's the one washing Beitang Yan's clothes.

Just as Qin Suiyou thought Beitang Yan was going back to his main room to change his clothes, Beitang Yan opened his wardrobe.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, Beitang Yan took out a garment that clearly did not belong to Qin Suiyou and said with a sincere expression, "I'm getting clothes."

Qin Suiyou went up to the wardrobe and looked inside, and immediately discovered the problem.

When did you bring your clothes here?

Beitang Yan continued honestly, "After you went to the front yard this morning, I went to the main house. It's more spacious than here, but I figured you probably didn't want the hassle of moving things to the main house, so you brought mine over. Look, there are not only clothes, but also hairbands and hair ornaments, though they're not as nice as the ones you gave me..."

After looking around at the things Beitang Yan had brought over, Qin Sui beckoned Beitang Yan to come closer.

Thinking that Qin Suiyou was going to praise him, Beitang Yan lowered his head and walked past without any suspicion. However, he had never been wary of Qin Suiyou in the first place.

Just as Beitang Yan was expecting a gentle pat on the head, Qin Suiyou did indeed reach out his hand, but instead of a gentle stroke, he received a rather sharp flick on the forehead.

"what!"

Withdrawing his hand, Qin Suiyou remained unmoved as he looked at Beitang, who was clutching the spot where he had been hit, looking pitiful and miserable.

Why did you hit me?

"You brought your things over without even discussing it beforehand. Who taught you to be so rude?"

"Sorry."

The conversation was originally intended to teach the "naughty child" a lesson, but when Qin Suiyou saw Beitang Yan apologize so readily and stare at him with those beautiful eyes that seemed to be about to fill with tears, he instantly lost his composure and couldn't help but laugh.

"You smiled, does that mean you've forgiven me?"

Qin Suiyou nodded.

"Well, seeing how sincerely you apologized, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

"So...should I move my things back?"

Qin Suiyou frowned slightly and said, "Just keep it. It's too much trouble to move it around. But if you insist on moving it, I won't stop you. Come on, move it."

Beitang Yan immediately shook his head firmly.

"I'm not moving anymore, it's too tiring to move around."

No longer dwelling on the topic, Qin Suiyou told Beitang Yan to change his clothes quickly, saying he had something to do later.

Beitang Yan didn't dawdle and almost took off his belt on the spot, but Qin Suiyou stopped him quickly and pulled him behind the screen in the inner room where he could change clothes.

"I told you to hurry up, but that's not how you do it. There are so many girls in the courtyard. Remember to be more careful in the future."

Beitang Yan was slightly embarrassed by what was said.

"I was just worried you'd be anxious. Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Seeing that the child was so cooperative, Qin Suiyou stopped scolding him and took him to the study after he changed his clothes.

On his way to the study, Qin Suiyou also called Du Heng, Du Ruo, and Jinwen.

After waiting for the others to arrive in the study, Qin Suiyou took out the account books he had looked at that morning and the draft tables he had drawn.

"I just had Lan Feng go to the accounting office to get some blank paper and other binding tools. Du Heng and Du Ruo, you two will divide the work and make a few new ledgers. I've already drawn up the table templates, so you just need to copy them over. Of course, if you find a simpler and more convenient format along the way, just ask for it and make the changes, as usual."

After speaking with the brother and sister, Qin Suiyou looked at Jinwen.

"You've been to school and even worked as a restaurant accountant. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to check the accounts of these shops for any problems and then sort them out, right?"

Jinwen looked up in surprise, and Du Heng, seeing his stunned expression, patted him on the shoulder.

"Young Master intends to give you an important position. What, are you afraid to accept?"

Bringing him back to his senses, Jinwen straightened up and gave a deep bow.

"Jinwen will certainly live up to the expectations of the righteous ruler."

Qin Suiyou accepted the bow impartially, and then asked Jinwen to stand up.

Whether you are given an important position depends on your abilities. The ledger is right here. Give me the results within three days. Any questions?

Jinwen said in a deep voice, "No problem."

"Alright, let's look around this shop now. It's a bookstore with a small turnover, enough time for you to finish looking around before dinner."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Jinwen also asked for a pen and paper. A few days ago, when cultivating flower seeds, Qin Suiyou required that everyone take notes, so the people in the courtyard, except for those who were illiterate to begin with, had basically mastered writing with a pen.

As Jinwen sat down to focus on the ledger, Lanfeng returned.

“Zhengjun, we’ve brought back everything, and the accounting manager knew it was for you, so he took all the good stuff.”

Qin Suiyou took it and checked it over; nothing was wrong.

"Yes, not bad, thank you for your hard work."

Just as Qin Suiyou was about to tell Lan Feng that he could leave, Lan Feng blushed slightly and said, "Zhengjun, may I be so bold as to ask for a job?"

Qin Suiyou raised an eyebrow, but showed no surprise.

"What kind of job is it? Tell me."

Under Qin Suiyou's encouraging gaze, Lan Feng said, "Zhengjun, I'm very good at math, could I also help Brother Jinwen with the account books?"

Qin Suiyou asked, "Is this the first time you've volunteered for this job?"

Lan Feng shook his head.

"No, that's not it. My father was a merchant. A few years ago, on his way to Yejing, he encountered bandits. Of my family of more than ten people, only I survived. Later, it was the Crown Prince who led people to wipe out the bandits. By chance, I came to the Prince's mansion. I wanted to repay them, but I didn't have any great skills. Today, I found an opportunity. My father and I learned how to read account books. Helping you is also indirectly helping the Crown Prince. I don't know if you agree."

Seeing the oblivious Beitang Yan, Qin Suiyou couldn't help but think that Lan Feng's thought process was both peculiar and strangely reasonable. It would be quite difficult to find a way to repay the debt of gratitude from Beitang Yan, but it seemed easier to start from his side.

"There's nothing to disagree with. If someone can share the workload, Jinwen shouldn't be unhappy."

After saying that, Qin Suiyou glanced at Jinwen, who nodded in agreement and then gave Lan Feng a gentle smile.

Qin Suiyou waved his hand, indicating that Lan Feng could go over.

Now everyone had their own things to do. Qin Suiyou was drawing a picture that he didn't yet know what it was, while Beitang Yan, who was doing nothing, was unhappy.

"What should I do?"

Qin Suiyou looked up, feigning sudden realization.

Oh, I completely forgot about you.

Seeing Beitang Yan staring at him resentfully, Qin Suiyou immediately changed his tune.

"How could I forget you? Of course you have a mission. Come here."

As he spoke, he took a small stack of papers that Du Ruo had already cut.

“Du Ruo is a little weaker. You can take ten sheets of paper each time, fold them in half and press them firmly. Then, use this needle to poke a row of holes in this row at this spacing, and then give it to Du Ruo to sew.”

After Qin Suiyou gave him a general demonstration, Beitang Yan felt that he had understood it and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Okay, let's get started now."

After everyone had their work, the afternoon passed quickly, and by dusk, the new blank ledgers had been bound and the tables drawn up.

Jinwen and Lanfeng worked together to not only review nearly three years' worth of account books from a bookstore, but also more than half of the account books from another jewelry shop.

After reviewing the data and issues summarized by the two, Qin Suiyou was in a good mood.

"The speed is good, and the problems have been summarized very well."

At this moment, Jinwen said, "Lanfeng is very capable. He found several problems that I would have had to check multiple times to discover. He deserves a lot of credit for finishing so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Lan Feng waved his hand again and said, "No, no, Brother Jinwen is the one who's amazing. I was just saying that I'm good at math, but Brother Jinwen can calculate much faster and more accurately than me even without an abacus."

Seeing the two of them trying to take credit for each other, neither wanting to claim any credit, Qin Suiyou shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, you're all amazing. You'll all have an extra meal tonight."

Lan Feng looked up in surprise.

"Do you have the same dish that Sister Jinzhu and the others ate last time?"

After we gave the girls who planted the flower seeds an extra meal last time, they described the dish to the guys who didn't get to eat it as something heavenly and earthly, which made them very envious.

But Qin Suiyou shook his head.

"No, but Du Ruo went out early to cook for you. You can rest assured about her cooking skills."

Lan Feng rubbed his hands together, showing no disappointment but rather a sense of anticipation.

"That's great too, thank you, Masakazu."

Jinwen also thanked him.

"Let's go and eat."
