The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 118 Digital Ledger

"It's done, let them go down." Mrs. Zhang said in a timely manner, interrupting what Jia Mu wanted to say next, so as to prevent her from saying more things that should not be said, otherwise it will be troublesome again.

It's just that after everyone left, Xu Hui said to the three little girls what should be said, "Those dramas and such are really unbelievable, but they can also teach us a lesson in our hearts." .”

"Lesson, what lesson?" Jia Yingchun asked very puzzled. To her, it was really just a drama, just listen to it. Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to?

If Jia Lian knew that his sister would not care so much about the play he completed after meticulously recalling it, he would be depressed to death.Jia Lian didn't think of the play himself, but he spent a lot of time recalling it. The story was one of Grandma QY's classic plays "Shui Yun Jian" that he had seen a long time ago in a TV series.

The reason why this story was changed into a drama is not because it is the most popular, but because this story contains all the plots in which all the gifted scholars, beauties, and childhood sweethearts have no good results. Of course, the no good results are adapted by himself. People were originally happy.

Xu Hui took this opportunity to say, "The stories about talented scholars and beautiful women in the drama are not all fake, just like what we have seen today, the result is not so miserable."

"I'm afraid it's because that's not a real talent." Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said with a sense of expectation.

This sentence is the truth. The talented people there are really not very talented, and they don't work hard.

"Why do you care about that?" Jia Xichun said calmly, as if she was an adult who saw through the situation, not a little girl, "There is no need to waste your thoughts."

Xu Hui didn't think these were interesting at first, but Jia Lian attached great importance to it, so she specially discussed this issue with her sisters. Who would have thought that the result would be like this.

Jia Lian would not know that his daughter-in-law is complaining about him now. He also encountered a more complicated problem. He was found by the leader to be doing things that had nothing to do with work. His biggest leader was seen.

This is definitely not a pleasant thing, Jia Lian didn't even have time to complain about why the emperor, a busy man, would hang around the Imperial Academy with nothing to do, and even saw his account book.

"You did this?" The emperor was also incomparably shocked. He went to the Imperial Academy to show the importance he attached to literati and students, and then he thought of Jia Lian, who was quite interesting, but he never thought of it. What shocked him was what he saw.

Jia Lian nodded cautiously, and replied, "If you go back to the Holy Majesty, it was the minister who did it." His heart began to beat. In modern times, performance bonuses would definitely be deducted for deserting work, but this is ancient times, isn't it?There should be a little difference, but it won't be so serious that he will be fired directly.

Of course, the matter is not so serious. Not only is it not that serious, it even has some benefits. The emperor was very satisfied with what he saw, "How could you think of such a thing? These are Western numbers, right?"

Jia Lian nodded, and could only answer the emperor's question, "I'm very interested in Western things, and it seems more convenient to use them in accounting."

The emperor's face changed immediately, "Since there is such a thing, why didn't you present it earlier." His eyes swept across, making Jia Lian, a courtier, unable to bear the pressure.

However, things changed soon, Jia Lian felt very embarrassed, why did the emperor change his face so quickly, he thought he would be praised just now, but just let go of his heart, he never thought that he would be criticized again, as expected. A leader with rapid changes in mood and anger is not a good leader, but unfortunately, he has not yet the ability to fire the leader!

"I think these are just small things." Jia Lian could only say so, "What's more, these are some Western things, which are somewhat different from ours."

The emperor doesn't care about this, what he cares about is his own money, not to mention that as an emperor who likes arithmetic, he just glanced at it briefly, and he also understands how useful these things will be.It's just that if you look at it too much, you won't feel very happy. It turns out that there are women's things on it, which makes people wonder that Jia Lian is a person of no great promise.

"What do you remember here?" The emperor felt uncomfortable, so he naturally didn't mind asking.

Jia Lian didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's something I prepared for my unborn daughter."

As soon as he said this, he was still proud, but the emperor didn't know why he felt like vomiting blood. What kind of reason was this? Things, he just wanted to save his daughter's dowry.Of course, this is because the emperor didn't know that the account books of Jia's mansion had been changed long ago, otherwise he didn't know what to think about in his heart!

"Organize these things into a book, and wait for the letter to be sent to me." The emperor made a request.

Jia Lian could only respond in a low voice, and was going to wait to discuss with the two old foxes, grandfather and father-in-law, how to do this.

The father-in-law was a bit busy, so he went to ask his grandfather first, and the grandfather looked at this and said it was good, this is Zhang's secret, even his own father didn't know that their family's account books had become like this.

As a standard loyal and patriotic person, the uncle immediately educated Jia Lian when he saw these things, "Since there are such convenient things, how can we not present them to the Holy One early?"

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law also came before the lesson was finished. This guy is much more vicious than the uncle. Seeing this guy who is always thinking about the extroverted girls in his heart, he really wants to give Jia Lian a fat beating , was discovered by the emperor, why didn't you know how to hide it!

He also studied the account book carefully, and he was full of dissatisfaction in his heart. Who made him unlucky, he was promoted recently, but he was selected by the emperor as the Minister of the Household Department?It's already uncomfortable enough to have a headache facing that mess every day, but now I suddenly realize that the good son-in-law I chose doesn't even know how to be considerate of myself as an old man, it's really not filial.If there was such a thing earlier, how much trouble they would have saved in accounting!

The account book is a good thing, but the numbers inside are still Arabic numerals after all, so there are still some problems. Although the model used in the Jia Mansion is like this, the numbers are still regular Chinese characters. This is also Jia Lian. I wanted to be lazy, but I just wanted to see for myself, which caused such troublesome things.

When the emperor saw something, he asked him to break it all down. At this time, there was a father-in-law who was a minister of the household department, and he didn't even have the ability to resist. As an editor, I went to the household department to do odd jobs.

"If that's the case, why don't you let me directly work in the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Jia Lian said depressedly. It's really depressing to have two jobs with one salary!

As soon as these words came out, he was slapped faintly by his father-in-law, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Edited by the Imperial Academy, that can't be asked by many people, this brat doesn't even want to be, really It's time for a spanking.

After being taught a lesson, Jia Lian listened a lot, and endured hardships and stood hard work every day. The Ministry of Household Affairs is indeed a place for experienced people. When he was in the Imperial Academy, he patronized to establish good relations with scholars and find some interesting things to spread. New knowledge, and then it is a waste of time to pretend.

It’s different now, every day is as busy as a spinning top, those pretentious manners have completely disappeared, Jia Lian himself doesn’t think there is anything, only that he has learned a lot, but the family members feel that he is not demeanor. There have been some changes, although he is still a handsome young man, he has a sense of being down-to-earth and hard-working.

Children from a good family background will always have some problems of being out of gregariousness when they first step into the workplace. There are some milder ones, such as Xu Cheng, who quickly adjusted to a suitable state. A flourishing.On a more serious level, for example, Feng Ziying knew that she should change after hitting the iron plate, and now she is doing very well.The hopeless one is probably referring to Jia Zheng. As the saying goes, if you hit the south wall, you don’t turn back. If you hit Jia Zheng, you will definitely not turn back even if your head is bleeding. So now it's just a dawdle, and it seems that even if it takes another 20 years, it will be difficult to make any changes.

Jia Lian is different. Although he was born in the Rongguo Mansion, there are still some differences in his soul. This makes him mature in dealing with people and things, and he has a thick skin. Even if people don't like him, he can With a shy face, he took the initiative to approach him, and he was more generous, and soon got along very well.

The emperor originally wanted to enroll him directly in the household department, but after all, Jia Lian had a grandfather who cared about him. After a few words, the emperor changed his mind, "Anyway, when the Imperial Academy is closed, it will not be too late. It’s far away, and it will be fine to transfer Jia Lian to the household department at that time.”
