Chapter 117 Breaking in
Although Qin Shuyu strongly disapproved of Qin Zihong becoming an official, given his brother's reckless character, he might cause trouble in the future.
Qin Zihong has been spoiled since he was a child. He has never suffered any hardship. He has someone to back him up. He will not bear the consequences for anything he does. His mother and father will help him to clean up the mess. He has nothing to worry about.
Because of this, he is not suitable to support the huge Qin family.
But Qin Shuyu knew clearly that the person who supported the Qin family must be her younger brother.
When Mother Qin heard what Qin Shuyu said, the sadness on her face faded a little: "Yu'er, is what you said true? Is that algorithm really so quick and easy to use?"
"Half a month is enough?"
Qin Shuyu consoled him earnestly:
"Don't you understand me, mother? This is such a big thing, it concerns my brother's future. I will never joke about it."
"Take me to see Dad first, and I will go and talk to him myself."
After that, Qin Shuyu whispered to Shen Wei again: "Miss Shen, please wait for me here for a moment."
After instructing the servants to entertain Shen Wei well, Qin Shuyu and his mother went to visit his sick father first and narrated the matter of the algorithm to him.
After waiting for a while, Qin Shuyu sent Su Zhu over to ask Shen Wei to go to the study.
What surprised Shen Wei was that Qin's father, who was always cautious in his work, was not at the scene. Did he leave the matter entirely to Qin Shuyu?
Qin Shuyu and Shen Wei were the only ones left in the study.
Qin Shuyu didn't know what she said to Qin's father. She looked a little embarrassed at the moment. She turned the words around several times but didn't say them out loud.
"Ms. Qin, don't hold it in. Just tell me if you need anything."
Qin Shuyu was silent for a while before speaking: "My father said that this matter should not be made public, nor should it be known to outsiders. He has suppressed the burning of the general ledger at the government office."
"Now that my father has fallen ill because of this matter, and this matter cannot be made public, and the Marquis has also removed me from my position as housekeeper, I wonder...if it's just the two of us, can we calculate the total account book?"
"If possible, my father will have someone bring some account books over so we can try. If it doesn't work, it's understandable. I..."
There was another sentence that Qin Shuyu didn't say.
When she returned home this time, she always felt that her father's attitude towards her had changed a little. In the past, matters within the government office would not be left to her to handle. Maybe it was because she was a girl, and her father always felt that she could not do anything well.
In addition to taking care of her husband, raising children and managing the household.
She couldn't do well in anything related to national affairs or power, and her father would never mention it to her, no matter how well she had performed in the mansion.
And this time, I don’t know if it was Qin Shuyu’s illusion, but her father seemed to be trying to admit that she could also...
"no problem."
Before Qin Shuyu could continue, Shen Wei smiled and said, "It just so happens that my shop has also been closed by Xie Yuchuan, so I can't open it for a while."
"And I also guessed why you took on this matter. First, this matter really cannot be made public. Second, you have your own plans. You want to get his approval, and I also want you to get his approval."
"You are no worse than any other man."
Yes.
She is no worse than her brother.
Even better, more suitable and more stable.
But...she will never be able to compare to her brother in the status he holds in his parents' hearts. She will never be able to touch the things that her brother can get with just a stretch of his hand.
It didn't take long.
The Qin Mansion sent over some account books.
Shen Wei and Qin Shuyu started to calculate the total accounts in the study. At first, Qin Shuyu had some difficulty converting Arabic numerals, but after writing them several times, he became proficient and his accounting speed became much faster.
For the entire day, Shen Wei and Qin Shuyu did not leave the study. Even for their meals, they had the servants bring in the food, and they continued to settle the accounts after they finished eating.
Although Qin Shuyu was in charge of all matters inside and outside the Marquis' Mansion.
But she only needed to give orders and her servants would carry them out.
It was the first time for her to sit on a chair for several hours without moving.
Qin Shuyu quietly raised her eyes to look at Shen Wei, and saw that she was staring at the account book seriously. Apart from rubbing her sore wrist occasionally, she did not show any impatience.
Qin Shuyu moved her body slightly, and seeing that no one noticed her, she secretly rubbed her buttocks that were sore from sitting.
But this posture was really unsightly, so I had to slightly adjust my sitting position and continue to endure the pain to keep accounts.
She had been inseparable from Shen Wei the entire day today, and even she felt the aches and pains in her shoulders, arms and body, but Shen Wei, who had always been considered incapable of taking on responsibilities, was exceptionally focused.
The sunlight shone in through the open windows, and Shen Wei was bathed in a golden halo. He looked stunning and flamboyant, as if he was full of endless vigorous vitality.
Why do you think it is vitality?
Qin Shuyu was a little dazed, and then a bitter smile spread across his lips.
She is about the same age as Shen Wei, but she looks like a lifeless old person, while Shen Wei has an unrestrained and unrestrained vitality. No wonder Xie Yuchuan likes Shen Wei so much like crazy.
Shen Wei is completely different from these women who have been raised in mansions since childhood. She is the contrast between darkness and light, and the flamboyant and rigid attitude towards life.
It made her feel that it was against the rules, but at the same time she also hoped to live as confidently as Shen Wei.
"boom--"
"Great!! So it's in the study, right?"
"Sister, I heard that you brought that vixen back with you. Let me see what this vixen looks like to be able to bewitch my brother-in-law to such an extent!"
"I finally caught you today. I'm going to help you vent your anger!"
Qin Zihong kicked open the study door and strode in.
