Chapter 24 Settlement of Accounts
On the carriage ride back, Jian Xilu asked, "Nannan, why do you carry snacks with you?"
She watched with her own eyes as Jian Ruonan took out a piece of butterfly pastry and stuffed it into her mouth without anyone noticing. After a while, she didn't know where it came from. Twist out a cookie.
That little mouth never stopped.
Jian Ruonan just received the gold bracelet given by her sister. If there is something good, of course she wants to share it together. She hurriedly handed over a piece: "This mung bean cake is delicious, rustic, and melts in your mouth."
I just got it from Pingguo Gong's Mansion. Listen, Said it was a snack given by Yu.
[Sister looks like a fairy who doesn’t eat fireworks from the world, and she can also be greedy. 】
Jian Xilu: "......"
"Nan Nan, you eat it, sister doesn't want it. Sister is just curious about where you hide the snacks."
Jian Ruonan hid the snacks in the space given by the system. She dared not say that she put all the things in it. She showed the purse her mother had prepared for her and said, "Put it in the purse."
Jian Xilu took a look and said nothing.
Nan Nan was so mysterious and had so many secrets.
Although they had only been together for a short time, she I like this sister so much. "What kind of snacks do you like? I'll make it for you."
Jian Ruonan smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, sister. I like everything you make."
[My dear sister is a fairy, she looks so Beautiful, dignified, virtuous, and can even make snacks! ! ! ]
[Sister, I love you! 】
Jian Xilu: "......"
After playing outside for a day, Jian Ruonan came home and asked the maid to help her lie down on the bed.
She changed into light clothes, wiped her face, washed her hands, and untied her hair. She only needed to stretch her hands. Just cooperate, it's so cool.
After lying on the bed, the maids put down the curtains and left.
Jian Ruonan opened her eyes and called the system.
[Quick, draw a card! ! ]
Inexplicably, I got 30 points more, I don't need to use them up. I feel itchy.
Thirty points can be used to draw 15 times, plus the ten times of redemption, this time I can draw 25 times.
As usual, before drawing the card, I sang a socialist red song "Good Luck Comes" to dispel the evil spirits around me. In a joyful
melody, colorful neon lights lit up and the lucky draw wheel began to swing.
[Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love... Ah, I won, I won the toilet paper!! ]
With the blessing of the socialist red song, Jian Ruonan She won the toilet paper and lay on the bed, overjoyed and wanting to pound the bed.
However, she was a little dissatisfied when she got the toilet paper.
[That's it?]
She spent a lot of money to win the toilet paper. Just this?
She thought there would be at least one bag, but it was just a thin package.
The system explained: [Modern things are not good in ancient times, so we provide small packages.]
Jian Ruonan: [... ...】
System: 【Don't throw away plastic packaging.】
Jian Ruonan: 【Why?】
System: 【For fear of affecting future archaeology. 】
Plastics cannot be metabolized. The biggest fear is that in a few years, future generations will find plastic in Jian Ruonan's tomb during archaeological excavation. This may cause a sensation in the entire archaeological community.
Jian Ruonan: 【It is useless, but you have a long-term vision.】
System: 【. Although
the toilet paper was very small, it was better to have it than not. At most, she could just draw a few more times. She
finished the twenty-five times quickly. This time, she was lucky and drew three packs of toilet paper and one pack of sanitary napkins. , and also drew a lot of drugs, including a box of "Multi-Seed Pills".
Jian Ruonan: [What is Multi-Seed Pills used for? ]
System: [This is amazing, used with strong aphrodisiacs, it can make you pregnant with Multiple births are a must-have weapon for conquering the Fourth Prince's home. 】
Jian Ruonan: [... Multiple births? Do you think I didn't die fast enough? 】
In the ancient times when there was a lack of medical care and medicine, it was useless to have multiple pregnancies.
This system was to help her ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
【Besides, the fourth prince couldn't even stand up. Are you sure that the strong aphrodisiac would work on him?】
System ：【......】
【five! 】
After drawing the card, Jian Ruonan entered the Sage Time and began to count her spoils.
Although the system is a steal, any one of the products provided would be a game-changer in Daxia .
For example, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes have high yields per mu. They can also be grown in sandy land, have a short growth cycle, and their yields per mu are dozens of times that of rice and wheat. There is
also cotton. If cotton is promoted, it will die in winter. There will be fewer people who can make soft quilts and pillows.
Jian Ruonan also saw that there were seeds of modern hybrid rice in the turntable.
You know, the current rice yield is about 130 kilograms per mu of top-quality rice, and modern rice can reach 1,000 kilograms per mu.
How many people can they feed?
Jian Ruonan thought about it and realized that her family was destined to be cannon fodder. Knowing that this blessing can only be enjoyed for a few days, she decided to start a food business.
But she didn't have any land, so she couldn't farm.
Salted fish is slow to do anything, so she was not in a hurry and would wait until she had the chance.
Jian Ruonan After taking a nap, I suddenly found that I had 100 acres of prime land and two shops.
Jian Ruonan: "......"
Min was teaching Xilu to read the account book in the hall. Xilu was about to get married. She gave her several shops and some land as a dowry, and taught her step by step how to look at accounts and how to talk to the head of the farm and the manager.
Min felt that she owed Jian Ruonan something, so she prepared a portion for Jian Ruonan according to Jian Xilu's share, and her portion was slightly more generous.
Jian Ruonan was also ten years old. She had learned some tricks in the farm before. What? A young lady from a marquis's family must learn to read, learn the Four Books for Women, learn embroidery, and ask a teacher to teach her the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Mrs. Min spread out a list and let Jian Ruonan choose a teacher. "Nannan, what do you want to learn first?"
Jian Ruonan: ! ! What? Go to school? !
[Mother, I can't bear the hardship of studying! ! ]
Mrs. Min: "..."
[Why does the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion have to learn so many things? ! ]
[Isn't it good for me to eat and drink quietly for the rest of my life? ! ]
"Mother, do I have to learn?" Jian Ruonan blinked and acted like a child.
[Mother, have you forgotten that I am good at medicine! ! ! ]
[It's enough to have a skill. 】
Min: "......"
"You can put the rest aside for a while, but you have to learn the Four Books for Women."
Jian Ruonan: "What are the Four Books for Women?"
Min explained that the Four Books for Women include "Nu Yi", "Nei Xun", "Nu Lun Yu", and "Nu Fan Jie Lu", which are probably about educating women to be humble, submissive, filial, and good wives and mothers. They are full of the ideology of male superiority and female inferiority. Jian Ruonan
: "......"
How can she, a woman from the modern era, learn these things?
【Wang Defa, if you want me to learn these, I'd rather die! 】
Min: "......"
Is Nan Nan so strong?
Why did you mention the son of the Wang family again? Who is this son of the Wang family? !
A girl cannot be kept at home. I'll let my husband find out later.
She compromised, "How about we learn to be a housekeeper first."
Jian Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, mother, I can calculate quickly and well, and I don't even need an abacus." Jian
Xilu smiled and said, "Sister, you are so arrogant."
Although Jian Ruonan was a little lazy and greedy, she was a genuine academic master before, and she knew the multiplication table by heart.
"How about this, mother, you find a housekeeper to compete with me, if I win..." Jian Ruonan's eyes rolled, "I won't learn the Four Books for Women."
Min: "What if you lose?"
Jian Ruonan: "If I lose, I will learn whatever mother tells me to learn."
Min smiled and said, "Okay."
The hall was full of housekeepers, and Min asked, "Who of you is willing to compete with the fifth young lady?"
The housekeepers looked at each other, and none of them moved.
Min continued, "Whoever wins against Miss Five will be rewarded with five taels of silver."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid started to get excited.
"Madam, I'm willing to give it a try." The maid's surname was Zhou. Her husband was the owner of a grain and oil shop owned by Min. Mrs. Zhou knew how to read and was very good at using an abacus. Min always asked her to help with the year-end accounting.
Min hesitated.
Mrs. Zhou was too powerful. She was afraid that Nan Nan would lose badly and lose face, which would undermine her confidence.
Zang Chun saw Min's concern and joked, "Let's change another mother. Who in the mansion can calculate better than Mother Zhou, who is good at abacus? She saw that the fifth lady just returned home and is bullying the fifth lady!"
Mother Zhou laughed and said, "I dare not. I just want the reward of five taels of silver. Otherwise, I will let the fifth lady calculate for half an incense stick first?"
Jian Ruonan: "No need to give in." No
matter how fast the abacus is, can it be faster than mental arithmetic?
Jian Ruonan is not afraid at all.
Seeing her so determined, although Min was suspicious, she still took out the account book and asked the two to calculate.
Before the game started, Jian Ruonan opened the account book: "Mother, tell me first, how to read the account book?"
Min: "..."
You can't even read the account book, and you want to compete?
This is really worrying!
