Chapter 241 Xiao Siyue's Teaching
"Hmm? Songyue Study, you know what? There used to be a restaurant across the street, which was Tianyun Restaurant's rival. It did pretty well. I don't know why it closed down?" As the owner of Tianyun Restaurant, Sheng Yashu knew a lot about other restaurants in the capital, so she was still a little confused.
"Sister Yashu, actually, the study across the street is mine." Xiao Siyue didn't intend to hide it from Sheng Yashu.
"Huh? It's yours!" Sheng Yashu exclaimed in surprise.
"No wonder you were sitting here watching so early in the morning," Sheng Yashu said, suddenly realizing.
"How did you manage to buy that restaurant across the street? It's a very good restaurant. Was the previous owner willing to buy it?" Sheng Yashu asked curiously. She had tried to find out about the owner of the restaurant before, but she hadn't been able to get any information. She knew that the owner was someone she couldn't afford to offend.
“I have some connection with my previous employer,” Xiao Siyue said, but she didn’t say it directly because it wasn’t important.
"I see." Sheng Yashu didn't press the matter further.
"But Siyue, why didn't you continue to run the restaurant?" Sheng Yashu knew that Xiao Siyue had a lot of recipes. She had eaten there once before and found that the food was even better than that of Tianyun Restaurant. If she continued to run the restaurant, the business would definitely be better than before, and it might even surpass Tianyun Restaurant.
“I’m more interested in study rooms, and I bought the shop to open one. Sister Yashu, you can visit it when you have time.”
"That's for sure, I definitely have to visit your shop." Sheng Yashu said with a light smile. She believed that with Xiao Siyue's abilities, this bookstore was definitely not an ordinary bookstore, otherwise she wouldn't have given up such a good business before.
"By the way, Siyue, you've just arrived in the capital, so I'll just give you this year's share of the profits."
"Okay, whatever you decide, Sister Yashu."
"The soy sauce business has been getting better and better these past few years, Siyue, I really want to thank you." Because of the soy sauce, the Sheng family's business has reached new heights, and also because of the soy sauce, the people in the family have all wisely kept quiet.
Sheng Yashu felt that her collaboration with Xiao Siyue back then was a very wise decision.
"Sister Yashu, you're too kind. This is a win-win situation for both of us." She only provided a prescription, and now she can sit back and wait to collect the money. Could there be anything more comfortable than this?
“Yes, yes, Siyue is right, it’s a win-win situation.” Sheng Yashu laughed freely.
Looking at Sheng Yashu's unrestrained smile, Xiao Siyue admired her greatly. To have her own career in this feudal era was already a remarkable achievement for a woman.
Sheng Yashu must be twenty years old now, I wonder if she's married yet.
They only have one daughter, so I guess they're looking for a husband for her.
However, Xiao Siyue thought of many novels she had read in modern times, in which the characters who took in sons-in-law were generally not very good. She was a little worried for Sheng Yashu. What if she ended up with a man from a poor background who had achieved success?
He just didn't know how to tell Sheng Yashu.
"What's wrong, Siyue? Why are you frowning?" Sheng Yashu noticed Xiao Siyue's expression and asked with concern.
"Sister Yashu, I'm fine."
"Okay, Siyue, you keep an eye on things for now. I'll get back to work." Sheng Yashu got up to leave. She had originally come to check the accounts today, but she came over as soon as she saw Xiao Siyue. They had been chatting for quite a while, so she had to go quickly.
"Okay, Sister Yashu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll visit you when I have time," Xiao Siyue said after seeing Sheng Yashu to the door.
"Okay, I'll find you another day."
After Sheng Yashu left, Xiao Siyue continued working for a while, planning to go home after lunch.
Before Xiao Siyue could even order, the waiter brought the food up.
What are you doing here?
"Greetings, Miss Xiao. This is what our boss instructed us to do before he left. Please enjoy your meal." After explaining the reason, the waiter left.
Xiao Siyue understood; this must have been something Sheng Yashu had told her.
Xiao Siyue smiled and accepted Sheng Yashu's kindness.
"Lanyi, you should eat with us too. We'll go back after we finish eating."
Lan Yi didn't stand on ceremony, and the two of them, master and servant, ate their fill before leaving Tianyun Tower.
As soon as they arrived in the yard, Little Orange rushed to Xiao Siyue's feet and meowed loudly, as if accusing Xiao Siyue of leaving it at home.
"Okay, I understand. It's just that it's not suitable to take you out, isn't it?" Xiao Siyue squatted down and stroked Mao Mao.
Meow~~
"You're such a clingy person," Xiao Siyue said helplessly.

Xiao Siyue was playing with Xiao Juzi in the yard when Xiao Qinian came over.
Xiao Siyue let Xiao Ju Zi play in the yard, while she and Xiao Qinian went to the study.
"Yue'er, how was the opening of the study today?"
"It's not bad. Although it just opened, there are quite a lot of customers. And I noticed that almost every customer who came out had a smile on their face, so they must be quite satisfied."
"Well, that's good." This was expected. What scholar could resist cheap and good Xuan paper, and so many books?
He was excited about it for a long time back then.
The first book printed by the workshop each time was given to Xiao Qinian. In the past two years, Xiao Qinian's study has become like a library.
He filled several shelves with his treasure trove, and Xiao Qinian was always delighted to see it; it was his personal treasure.
"Father, you can go to the study with your friends next time. It'll be different from the previous ones." Xiao Siyue's expression was somewhat proud. She felt that this study would definitely be a refreshing experience.
"Oh? Then Father must go." Xiao Qinian was also intrigued by Xiao Siyue's words. His daughter always did unexpected things.
"Yue'er, there's something else I wanted to ask you today."
"Father, please speak freely."
"Well, I remember you used to have a rather unique way of keeping accounts. Could you tell me about it?" Xiao Qinian said somewhat shyly.
"Oh, so that's what it is. Of course, I'll write it down for you right away." Xiao Siyue thought Xiao Qinian had something important to say.
Xiao Qinian said that the accounting method is the modern tabular system. This accounting method is clear at a glance and is indeed much better than that of ancient times.
Xiao Siyue explained how to use the table to Xiao Qinian. It was very simple, and Xiao Qinian understood it after listening to it once.
"This form is really good," Xiao Qinian exclaimed in admiration.
Now that he's in the Ministry of Revenue, he deals with accounting every day, and the account books are giving him a headache. So he remembered what he'd seen at Xiao Siyue's place before, and that's why he came over.
"Alright, Yue'er, Daddy's leaving now." Xiao Qinian left satisfied.
He felt full of energy and wanted to hurry to his study to handle official business.
"Yes, Dad, take care." Xiao Siyue shook her head and chuckled. Her father was truly a workaholic.
Shouldn't she work harder to earn money? Isn't she being a little too relaxed?
Xiao Siyue thought for a moment, then quickly shook her head. No, she's still young and needs to rest.
