Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

The accountant Xiao Wang hurriedly begged for mercy, "Yes, it's a small one, isn't it, the shopkeeper, which account book should we send?"

Shopkeeper Wang stroked his beard and said, "Since it's the girl from the master's family who has arrived, of course I'm giving away the most understandable book."

Xiao Wang's accountant knew it well, they had two account books here in total, one was in the open, and it was specially for the confused wives in the house, this Xiao Wang's accountant could be handled by one person, and the other was for his own use, commonly known as the dark book.

Originally they heard that Fugui Embroidery Village was about to change masters, so they discussed it. If a shrewd person came, they might have to hand over the dark book, but since it was a little girl, it was easy to fool.

In this way, Jia Lu waited for a while, and saw that shopkeeper Wang packed up three thick ledgers and delivered them up, saying,

"Girl, here are all our ledgers, please read them."

Jia Lu frowned as she flipped through the ledger, remembering that it was really confusing.

She is not an accountant, and she has never been in touch with bookkeeping, but after getting used to modern clear and convenient forms, plus her mother went there early, and the old lady had never taught them, she was really helpless with this complicated account book.

Nanny Qian is used to doing business. Although she has never been in charge of Fugui Embroidery Factory, she knows all the methods used by the shopkeeper to fool the master.The other one is now given to Jia Lu, and she and she are both prosperous and hurt. This is Jia Lu's first time in charge. If she makes a mistake, she will be underestimated by others, so she introduces it in a low voice.

"Girl, this is commonly known as a three-legged account. There are three account books in total. One is for receipts, which records income, the other is for outgoing accounts, which records expenditures, and the other is a running account... ..."

While Nanny Qian was talking, Jia Lu was taking notes, and by the way, changed the numbers on the ledger into strange symbols, and was doing calculations with a pen, without even needing an abacus.

However, in half an hour, Jia Lu had finished flipping through half of the account book. Jia Lu's expression became more and more serious, but Qian Momo's expression became more and more satisfied. The two showed completely opposite expressions.

Shopkeeper Wang and Xiao Wang's accountant were acting like they were reading a joke at first, but now they are getting more and more heartbroken. Could it be that this girl really understands the account book in such a short period of time?Can you calculate without an abacus?

Time passed bit by bit, and the side room became more and more quiet, but hearing a noise outside, shopkeeper Wang quietly wiped the sweat from his brow, and secretly spat, simply, being frightened by a little girl Yes, I really came back to life more and more.

Shopkeeper Wang bowed and asked, "Girl, something seems to have happened outside, I'll go down and have a look!"

Jia Lu raised her head, looked at him with a sinking face, and saw that he was getting more and more nervous. After a while, Jia Lu replied,

"Go down!"

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said goodbye and ran out. Even Xiao Wang's accountant seemed to feel the heavy atmosphere in the room, and ran out after saying a word.

As soon as the two of them closed the door, Jia Lu couldn't help it anymore. With a loud "Boom!", she slapped the table and cursed,

"They're fooling me for a fool! It's only been a while, and there's already a gap of 1000 taels of silver!"

Nanny Li hurriedly stopped her, looked carefully at Jia Lu's hand patting the table, and said, "Girl, no matter how angry you are, you don't want to use your hand to vent your anger! They are the people on the archway!"

Qian Momo didn't seem to be affected at all, and said with a smile, "Girl, don't be angry, according to this old slave, this can't be the real ledger. The girl is young, so I underestimated the girl."

As he spoke, he looked at the special symbols calculated by Jia Lu, and said with admiration, "I'm still a girl. I don't know what the symbols mean when you remember them. You can calculate them clearly without even using an abacus. It's such a simple and convenient method. It's unheard of."

Jia Lu felt a little guilty from the praise, but it was just ordinary Arabic numerals, plus some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, it was not a big deal.

"It's nothing. Since Mammy is interested, I will teach Mammy when I have time. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mammy. If Mammy didn't teach me, I wouldn't even be able to understand the account book."

Qian Momo looked at Jia Lu with pity, and thought to herself, it's a pity that the old lady is gone. When the girl was still young, the old lady tried her best to find herself and others, and gave herself the same rights as men, so she could If the old lady didn't go to manage the shop, the girl would have to be a director with the housekeeper, and it wouldn't be so that she didn't even know the account book by this time.

Just as she was about to speak, there was another noise outside. Jia Lu frowned. She got up and stood at the window, and opened the window.

Jia Lu was in the wing room on the second floor. Looking down from this window, she could see clearly what was going on in the lobby on the first floor.

"It's him!" Jia Lu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Dressed in a half-worn emerald green thin shirt, her figure was thin, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, and she hadn't rested well for many days. She held on to the sleeves of the tall man beside her, but her tears seemed to run dry, and her voice was hoarse and choked. The voice sounded with a crazy meaning.

"Cousin, if Yijun doesn't come to look for you, maybe you will never see me again!"

The tall and handsome man tried to break her hand away. He was obviously a fragile woman, and he held it so tightly that he couldn't break it apart.

Sighing, he said, "Yijun, you are my direct cousin, besides my grandfather, you are my only relative, how can I not see you?"

The woman named Yijun listened and said, "In this case, why do you avoid me every time I see you, if you didn't go out, I wouldn't be able to see you!"

The man reassured, "It's nothing, it's just that you are going to get engaged. Although we are brothers and sisters, we have to avoid it."

It's okay if the man didn't say anything, but when he talked about it, the woman became more and more excited and crazy. She pulled the man's sleeve and shook it non-stop, shouting at the top of her voice,

"Impossible! How could we be brother and sister! I'm not engaged! Could it be that what we experienced before was all my illusion? Cousin Gao Yang, you won't. You said you would marry me!"

That's right, the man is Jia Jing's favorite for Jia Lu, Lu Gaoyang.

The shopkeeper Wang saw that the woman was getting more and more crazy, so he quickly persuaded, "My lady, my master, please go out and talk if you have anything to do. Our place is a serious business place, and the people who come and go are not ordinary people. You two, please calm down."

It's just the word love, how can he calm down, Yijun has been staring at Lu Gaoyang, completely unable to listen to what the shopkeeper Wang said.

She was making a fuss, but Lu Gaoyang didn't want to make a fuss anymore. The people around him pointed their fingers at him. Lu Gaoyang was the number one scholar in Jinke, and he had some fame and prestige. One is that his personal morality is not right, and the other is that he is now thinking of climbing up to the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion. If it gets to their ears, it will be very bad.
