"By the way, before we get married, I will let Uncle Qiong know about the existence of Scarface." Li Chuyao planned that Uncle Qiong would leave after he got married. During this period of time, the Su family must not let the Su family think that he has changed his mind.

Although the old lady left room for her words, she was actually very ruthless.Knowing that he owed Scarface a huge sum of money, when Zhang Xianglan broke up or severed the relationship, the old lady might clap her hands in agreement.

Su Yu nodded, and changed his sitting position in Li Chuyao's arms to get used to it.

"Are you afraid of getting married?"

Li Chuyao remembered that the marriage ceremony of two children in Chuanzhou was simpler than the marriage of a man and a woman. After the families of the two parties were satisfied, they exchanged tokens, and then gave the newcomer a combination of horoscopes. Together with the dowry, it is picked up by the groom.

When they arrive at their husband's house, the couple will pay homage first, then the couple will be sent to the bridal chamber, and the groom will continue to entertain the guests.

Thinking of this, Li Chuyao thought of a question, "Ayu, is there someone to send off?"

Although they are in Yinan, the customs are the same everywhere. If there is no natal family to see them off, the neighbors in the neighborhood will inevitably make jokes.

Su Yu bit his lip and said nothing.

It is conceivable that the Su family did not consider this.

Li Chuyao sighed, pressed the back of Su Yu's head with his palm, and asked someone to lean on his shoulder, "It's good without them, and I won't be involved in the future."

Su Yu raised his head and looked at him, "Do you not care because I embarrass you?"

This kind of thing is extremely embarrassing whether it is in Yecheng or Yinan, which means that Shuang'er is not valued by the family and makes the husband's family lose face.

In the future, when they are in Yinan, they will also become someone's after-dinner talk because of this.

Li Chuyao laughed out of his throat, parted Su Yu's fingers, interlocked with him, and said nonchalantly, "If we live better than them, wouldn't we hit them in the face even more?"

Su Yu turned his words around in his mind, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, don't think so much, I can't stay in your room for a long time, otherwise I don't know what that housekeeper Su and his neighbors will say about you." Li Chuyao stood up holding Su Yu, gently and carefully put people on the ground.

Su Yu also knew that it was not good for the two of them to be alone in a room, so he took the initiative and said, "I'll take you out."

Li Chuyao hooked the corners of his lips, "Okay."

Seeing that the two came out "safe and sound", Zhi Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Although their marriage was a certainty, they still had to avoid suspicion.

When Li Chuyao arrived at the door, Steward Su was holding melon seeds in one hand while knocking non-stop.

"Butler Su."

Hearing the sound, Steward Su straightened his back subconsciously, and turned around with a flattering smile.

"Second Master Li finished talking with my son?"

Li Chuyao's smile didn't reach his eyes, he glanced at the melon seed shell next to his heel, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Su, we are about to become a family, don't you think you should be cautious when you are in the public eye?" face?"

Steward Su was overwhelmed by Li Chuyao's claim to coax him, he pretended to cough, and bowed respectfully, "Second Young Master taught me a lesson."

Li Chuyao nodded, and said with a gentle face, "Remember to clean it up."

"Immediately, I will have someone clean it right away."

"Steward Su, it's better to do this kind of thing by yourself." Li Chuyao frowned slightly, pointed to the big family in the adjacent street, and continued: "If others see the Su's other courtyard, the housekeeper is so diligent, they must think that the courtyard People here are more industrious, don’t you think?”

Butler Su was taken aback. That's right, Su Yu is married. According to Madam's calculations, the other courtyard must be sold directly. Then they will either return to the master's house or be dismissed.

If he could work as a housekeeper in another big family, he wouldn't have to go back to the Su family's place where people can't spit out their bones.

Butler Su deeply agrees with Li Chuyao's words. Isn't it more admirable for him to lead by example?

Thinking of this, Steward Su's face was full of gratitude, "Second Young Master is right."

Li Chuyao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, got into the carriage and left.

The street of Sujia Bieyuan is at the corner between the two busiest streets in Yinan City. It is not very eye-catching, but when someone mentions it, it is also said to be prosperous.

Regarding the calculation of the Su family, Li Chuyao sneered.

A person like Steward Su is like a piece of mouse droppings, corrupting the education of everyone in the other courtyard.

Back at the inn, Zhang Cheng was waiting for him drinking tea in the lobby.

"Brother Yao, are you back?"

Li Chuyao met the worry concealed in his eyes, smiled, went to sit opposite him, "Brother Zhang, can I have a drink?"

Zhang Cheng laughed and poured him a cup of tea in a gentle manner.

Li Chuyao raised his eyebrows and joked, "Is this taught by Brother Gu?"

Zhang Cheng's understanding of tea is only on the surface of quenching his thirst. Usually, it is just because he has been with Gu Lai for a long time and he is used to drinking tea. Now he makes and pours tea in a decent way. He is really a bit of a literati illusion.

"Brother Yao, why bother to tease me, I know I'm a rough person."

No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Cheng was, he couldn't help blushing at Li Chuyao's straightforward words.

"Hahaha……"

Gu Lai came down from upstairs with the ledger in his arms, and when he heard the laughter of the two, he approached and asked, "What's so happy about it?"

Li Chuyao smiled and drank tea without speaking.

Zhang Cheng scratched the back of his head, "It's nothing, have you read the account book?"

Gu Lai sat on the empty seat on Zhang Cheng's right, and replied while looking at it: "No, it's too messy."

"Brother Gu, would you mind showing me?" Li Chuyao put down his teacup with a candid expression.

Gu Lai randomly picked out a copy and gave it to him, and said indifferently: "I'm not in Yecheng, and the memory of my subordinates is messy, and it's been a long time since I reviewed it, so when I put it together, my head will be very big for a while."

Li Chuyao flipped through two pages, and the further he got to the back, the deeper his frown became.

"What's the problem?"

Gu Lai stopped the account book in his hand, looking serious to ask for advice.

Zhang Cheng was also curious, so he copied a book from Gu Lai, read a few pages, and found nothing wrong.

Li Chuyao shook his head, "This way of keeping accounts is not conducive to management. Although the expenses in the store are recorded in detail, they are not clear at all, and it will take time to check."

"Chuyao, what's your opinion?" Gu Lai is used to listening to Li Chuyao's sharp opinions, especially in terms of business operations.

"Brother Gu, how many bookkeepers are there in an inn?"

"The inn doesn't have a bookkeeper, it's all done by the shopkeeper."

"In fact, you can assign a supervisor to the shopkeeper, let him be in charge of the bank's entry and exit, and the shopkeeper is responsible for other big and small matters. Check it once every half a month and have two people sign it. I will give you a template for bookkeeping. You can read it first. It doesn't seem practical."

"Okay." Gu Lai nodded, and frowned again, "But isn't the labor cost higher?"

At present, although there are not many branch inns, there are also many. If each inn adds a steward, the wages will add up to a lot of money in the long run.

"One manager can manage multiple stores. When necessary, the shopkeeper can act as an agent, keep a reserve fund in the store, and purchase receipts for reimbursement."

Gu Lai suddenly realized, with surprise in his eyes, he raised his teacup to respect Li Chuyao, "Chuyao, thanks for being taught."

Li Chuyao sighed in his heart that he saw the right person. If it were someone else, such a sentence or two probably wouldn't make sense at all.Gu Lai not only understood what he meant, but also thought it was feasible.

He smiled, and also raised his teacup, "Thank you Brother Gu for watching."

Zhang Cheng, who was isolated again, sighed, full of jealousy: "If I didn't know that you have someone you like, Brother Yao, I would doubt whether you have any unreasonable thoughts about my Gu Lai."

Li Chuyao burst out laughing, before he could speak, Gu Lai had already elbowed Zhang Cheng.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"
