Chapter 12: Lots of Account Books



The "Sixth Uncle" of the old house obviously treated her as an unfavored female member.

The most cramped east wing at the edge was given to her.

There was only a bed less than 1.2 meters long, a small dressing table, a small square table and two low stools in the room.

Mrs. Zhang's room was right next to hers and was bigger than hers.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and prepared to get up to find someone to change rooms. "I know the old house well. There are more than a dozen rooms in the inner courtyard! The side rooms where the proud maid sleeps are better than this!"

"It's good enough that the host provides accommodation."

Xianjin put himself in a very good position, "Not to mention that I also got three meals, fruits and snacks by following the Third Master."

Mrs. Zhang stopped talking immediately.

That's fine.

Didn't she still look down on him because he was almost a sissy because of his wealth?

Now this little girl makes a living just like her.

Very good!

Mrs. Zhang found that since He Xiaoniang's death, she liked this girl more and more - at first she was afraid of her non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, but later she found that this girl had some real talent, and now she felt that her actions and words were very methodical.

Her sense of smell, acquired over half a lifetime, told her that following this girl might offer her a better future than following Mr. Chen Sanye.

Mrs. Zhang’s way of expressing her love is to feed her children.

He then took out three or four mung bean cakes from the kitchen, "...eat more. Look at how thin your face is. That Third Madam is such a jerk. How can you still be hungry in this day and age?"

Xianjin thanked him and ate each bite very carefully, chewing each one slowly before swallowing.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Xianjin continued to clean up.

She didn't bring much with her, just three or four neat sets of cotton clothes, a small box of Vaseline-like ointment that could be used for both face and mouth, and a few wooden hairpins.

And then there is "asking for money" - a name book that symbolizes an identity card, a reed pen that can be used instead of a mobile phone to communicate, record, and write with people, the key to her small room in Yiyuan, and a few taels of silver.

Xianjin put the three hundred taels of silver notes left by He Ainiang close to her body in the seam of her underwear, and locked several pieces of gold jewelry in a locked dressing table in Yiyuan.

Other than that, nothing more.

She kind of wanted to make an abacus.

However, the evil rat who works as the accountant of Chen family's proud store in Xuanzhou doesn't even know what an abacus is.

It is naturally impossible for abacus to appear in Jing County, which is more remote and smaller.

Still have to make one.

Otherwise it will be difficult to settle the account later.

Xianjin closed his eyes. In ancient times, there were not so many people, and the climate was not warmer. The Chen residence was backed by Tianhuang Creek, a tributary of Wu Creek. In addition, the weather in December was so cold that it made people shiver. Xianjin tossed and turned on the hard bed and couldn't fall asleep.

When she has money, she will make a kang that keeps a fire burning day and night, hold eight jade hand warmers, and spread three thick silk quilts to warm herself up!

Before falling into a deep sleep, Xianjin thought viciously.

The early morning in the countryside of the town is awakened by the crowing of roosters.

Xianjin and Mrs. Zhang had just finished their breakfast when the manager they had met last night came in. Behind him were two farmhands with their heads lowered, holding two stacks of books half a person's height.

"Accountant He, you are from Xuancheng, and your status is different from ours." The manager was a little fat, with a bulging belly as if she was pregnant for five months, and his face was shiny and greasy, like a pig that had just jumped.

Forehead.

Does the Chen family not consider appearance when hiring people?

There was a rat demon born in the year before, and a pig demon just crossed over after that. Only by choosing more can the twelve zodiac animals in the demon world be complete.

Zhu Gangjue said with a smile, "Didn't the Third Master say yesterday that he would take care of the workshop and the shop today? This is our account book for the past three years, including outgoing and incoming accounts, purchases, loans and borrowings - it's all here, please check it out."

The Sixth Master found out everything yesterday.

This woman is not a big shot.

She is just the girl who was the former concubine of Mr. Chen Sanye.

She has neither the blood of the Chen family nor the status of the Chen family. It is not even right for her to be a relative, and she cannot even be called a cousin.

I don't know what tricks he used, but he followed Master Chen San to Jing County.

Most likely he comes here to avoid being harassed by his wife at home.

Xianjin looked up and saw at least fifty account books. He picked up one at random and glanced at it roughly. It was the "single-entry accounting method" again, recording the time, amount and reason. The smallest amount was only two cents.

This fake account is very detailed.

Xianjin smiled and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhu Gangyue still smiled, "My last name is Zhu, and I am one of the managers of Chen's Paper Shop. The other one is the manager of the workshop. I am good at making paper, but I am not favored by the nobles. So you should have more opportunities to see me in the future."

Is your real surname Zhu?

Xianjin buried his head in silence.

In short, there are two managers, one in charge of technology and the other in charge of the market, and the one doing the market squeezes out the one doing the technology.

Got it.

Xianjin flipped through a page of the account book and asked casually, "Where is the original accountant? Am I taking his place now that I'm here?"

Zhu Gangyue coughed lightly, "What you said is right - who is in which position and what to do is still up to the boss. As long as the boss doesn't say anything, I have to do my best even if I change my position."

Old Madam Qu would not set up a special post just for her, nor would she let her come just because Chen Fu was coming and let Chen Fu be her backer.

Madam Qu asked her to come, so she must need someone to come.

It takes people to change the world.

If something needs to be changed, it means that the previous work was not done well.

A person who was considered a bad worker by his boss didn't even say he was fired? He just changed his job?

The accountant is never naked, there are always numerous complicated relationships behind him.

The guy in front seems to have a strong background.

Xianjin smiled and put the account book back. "What is your relationship with the original accountant? Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law? Third uncle? Or... is it the relationship with the sixth uncle from yesterday?"
