Winning every step of the Red Mansion

78

Shi Fei'er came back from viewing flowers in Ningguo Mansion, just sat down, and didn't even take a sip of tea.Jia Amnesty hurriedly searched for it, and Shi Feier sighed, "Why can't you let me go for a day?"

Jia She said with a smile: "My son didn't want to bother the old lady anymore, but he came to bother me because he was in a hurry. I really want to ask the old lady to borrow someone today? I hope the old lady will agree."

Hearing what Jia She said, Shi Fei'er was somewhat surprised, and asked: "Didn't all the people in the mansion be at your disposal? Why did you come to me to borrow people?"

"Isn't it because the old lady has means, this ordinary person has been adjusted by the old lady, and his words and actions are extremely safe. Why don't you come here to ask the old lady for mercy?"

Shi Fei'er just smiled when she heard this, and didn't answer the words, but picked up the teacup in her hand, sipped slowly, and left Jia Amnesty aside and didn't talk about money management.Jia Amnesty was neither annoyed nor impatient, just stood and waited.Watching Jiamu finish drinking the tea, she said again: "The old lady will allow it this time. I will find some high-quality ink lotuses for the old lady in the future, so it can be regarded as compensation for the old lady."

"Wait a minute, why did you start to give me something to stop me without even mentioning who I borrowed from? Tell me, who are you going to borrow today? I'll say yes or no after I hear it."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt that Mother Jia was letting go, and looked at Bailu standing next to Mother Jia and said, "Old lady, just lend me Miss Bailu for two days."

Shi Fei'er was taken aback when she heard it. In this book, Jia She forced her to marry a mandarin duck, why did she say Jia She borrowed an egret today?Shi Feier rolled his eyes and said again: "I rely on egrets and butterflies for my daily maintenance. Tell me what can I use egrets for? Let me think about it or not?"

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Amnesty felt that he was [-]% sure and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I borrowed Miss Bailu just to ask her to teach the storekeepers in the house about keeping accounts. My accountant's accounts are good though. , but it would be difficult for him to clear it up for others, and stammering will always be inconvenient. The son was helpless, so he thought of asking the old lady for a loan, at most two days. Tomorrow I will settle accounts with those shopkeepers first, If there is no big problem, I will teach Miss Bailu how to keep accounts."

"I see," Shi Fei'er nodded and asked, "Have you thought of countermeasures for those shopkeepers?"

Jia She nodded and replied, "My son has already figured out a complete plan. Since Lai Da's incident happened in the family, my son has always reminded himself not to raise a group of moths that eat inside and outside. Besides, I have given them a one-year extension. If you want to repent, you will definitely change. If you don’t repent, I can’t use it anymore. The property that my ancestors worked so hard for their children and grandchildren can’t be ruined by these moth rats.” Jia She paused, There was a bit of self-confidence in the eyes: "Old lady, you just wait and see the good show tomorrow."

Seeing Jia Amnesty's self-confidence, Shi Fei'er appreciated Jia Amnesty's self-confidence. He glanced at the egret standing beside him and said, "I'll lend you the egret to teach them how to keep accounts in a new way. It's okay. It's just that all the shopkeepers are professional. For many years, this egret is young, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold them back."

"Don't worry, old lady, it's all right. I'll make my own arrangements tomorrow. I won't let Miss Bailu be wronged." Jia She promised.

"It happened suddenly, so I had no choice but to agree." Shi Fei'er turned to Bailu and said, "For the past few days, you should put aside the matters in your hands and listen to the old man's order. If someone bullies you, just tell me when you come back , I won't bother you."

Jia Amnesty laughed and said, "Don't worry, old lady, this will never happen." Bailu nodded in agreement to Jia's mother's arrangement.

Seeing Bailu's answer, Shi Fei'er said again: "I'm still fine, but I still need to answer my question."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't say one thing, even ten things are acceptable. Just tell the old lady."

"You asked Bailu to teach you these shopkeepers to keep new accounts. This Bailu is their master. How can there be empty teeth in this apprenticeship? According to common sense, a student must give some respect to the master. I won't say anything , Egret will definitely not ask for it. Today I will help him ask for it. It is a tael of silver to teach a shopkeeper, and let him pay the money himself, otherwise he will waste his time if he doesn't pay attention in this class." Shi Fei'er glanced at Jia She and said, "The people here can't do their best, can they? If you don't want to do this, then let it go."

Bailu was taken aback when she heard that Mother Jia had asked for a gift for herself, and was about to speak when she saw Mother Jia winking at him, so she closed her mouth.Looking at Jia Amnesty again, he pondered for a while, and then said happily: "The old lady is the best, so the class can be better if the shopkeepers are a little bit hurt. I didn't expect it, it seems that I have to come to the old lady more. experience."

Bailu was amazed that Jia's amnesty was so forthright, and before she recovered, she heard Jia's mother say again: "Master Bailu will give you the money in the future, so you can take it, no need to refuse." Bailu thanked him again. some.

The next morning Mrs. Zhang came to greet the old lady, and then took Bai Lu away.Back in his room, he took out a set of men's clothes and handed them to Bailu, "Miss Bailu, I know you are a good bookkeeper, so it's no problem to teach those shopkeepers today. It's just that my daughter's body is not good enough. It’s very convenient, it’s more comfortable to change into a man’s clothes. At that time, I will tell those people that you are specially invited by the master to go to the sea to set up the account of the Royal Merchant Ship. You just remember it, and you can speak hoarsely. It's gone." After saying that, he pushed the clothes forward and said, "This is from the two-day list, why don't you try it to see if it fits?"

Bai Lu nodded in agreement, took off the clothes, took off all the jewelry and hairpins, washed his face and put on makeup, and sealed his ears and eyes with wax.He combed his hair again and changed his clothes.Mrs. Zhang glanced at the side and said with a smile: "Such a dress, a smart young man, looks really good."

Bailu spoke in a hoarse voice as Mrs. Zhang said, and Mrs. Zhang nodded in praise after saying a few words aside.

Not to mention the female Egret disguised as a man here, over there Jia She is sitting in the hall holding a teacup, putting on airs full of imposing manner.Early this morning, all the shopkeepers who gave birth to the family in this mansion arrived early.

It is the tradition of the Jia Mansion to pay the bills in autumn, although this year is a few days earlier than in previous years, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and entered the mansion to pay the bills.According to common sense, it would be all right to ask the big housekeeper in the mansion.If the Elder Master is interested, he may ask in person.After asking, nothing happened.Just go to the Grand Master and kowtow again.

It's just that this year when the shopkeepers entered the mansion, they felt different from usual.As soon as you enter the mansion, you pay the bill first.The steward who collected the bill looked at the bill, asked a few words and gave each person a number plate, telling them to wait in the room corresponding to the number plate.Everyone was puzzled, but because the manager was unfamiliar with the matter and didn't dare to ask more questions, they had to follow the advice and wait in different rooms.Not long after, Renju was due, and the account book was paid.At this time, the steward came into the waiting room with a pen and paper in his hand.When everyone saw him, they embraced him.

The steward smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry for now. This account book has been sent to the master. The master still has something to explain today. Please use your brushes and ink for your own use. The number of years you have been the shopkeeper, the profit and loss, and the income of the shop. The reasons why the business has been done so far are all clearly stated. At the end, write down their respective names and surnames, and I will come to pick them up within a stick of incense."

Some people in the crowd panicked when they heard this. In the past, the accounts were short, and when the stewards of the mansion asked about it, they would make up a pretext and pay filial piety. Why didn't they follow the old rules today?Someone in the crowd couldn't bear it and asked, "Why didn't you follow the old rules this year?"

Hearing this, the steward sneered and said: "The master ordered me to do so. How dare you ask the master. If you are not convinced, you can ask the master yourself when you see the master later."

After hearing this, everyone felt very sad, although they had many doubts, they had to suppress them for the time being.After a while, someone asked again: "It's been a long time, and I can't remember it very clearly. Can I check the old account book?"

The steward said: "As the shopkeeper, I don't remember the business in the past few years. It can be seen that I haven't paid much attention to it on weekdays. Think about it slowly or write it down clearly, or think about it once the master asks how to report it. Alright. I’ll just take what you wrote down today, don’t ask about anything else, and I don’t know if you ask.”

Everyone dared not speak after hearing this, so they could only write down what the man said one by one.Sure enough, after an incense stick of time, the steward came to collect it.No one dared to speak too much.

Jia Amnesty sat upright, looking at the business situation written by everyone with one hand, and opened the account book with the other hand, picking out all the things he wrote that did not match the account book.As soon as I saw it, I picked out two-thirds of the bookstores.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty sneered and said, "At first, I thought that these people would be able to restrain themselves a little bit because of Lai Da's incident. Now, it seems that I was too naive. I want to continue fooling around today, but I can't. I will make you do something today." How can you spit it out for me." Yan Bi slapped the account book heavily, and said to the steward who was waiting beside him: "Go and call me the shopkeepers of these three shops."

Seeing the anger on Jia She's face, the steward didn't dare to delay, so he brought in the three shopkeepers named by Jia She in a short time.

The three shopkeepers had ghosts in their hearts, but seeing that Jia She didn't let others call them alone, they were even more flustered.Seeing Jia Amnesty, he kowtowed carefully and saluted, then lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Jia Amnesty looked at the three kneeling people, and refused to let them get up. After looking at them coldly for a while, he said, "The three of you are old shopkeepers, and you have been in charge of the shop for at least 25 years. How come the shop that you have managed is a family?" Why don't you go with your family? Shopkeeper Wang, tell me first?"

The shopkeeper Wang, who is in charge of Feng Ruixuan, was very upset when he heard Jia She's question, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Master, the business has really been bad in the past few years. The market is not as good as the year after year, and I have nothing to do."

Jia She said with a smile: "Yes, there is really nothing you can do. I heard that you also bought two houses, and raised a little actor in the yard? Not only that, but you also bought land for the little actor? These two sets of houses It cost 250 taels. This little actor spent 80 taels. You are very willing. But I remember that the shopkeeper in our house has a seniority of 50 taels a year, and there are bonuses if he does well. It’s low, but the shopkeeper Wang loses every year and doesn’t have any bonuses, but it’s just that this way of spending is based on seniority, and I’m afraid it won’t stand it.”

At this time, shopkeeper Wang's face was as white as paper, and he knelt down and kowtowed.Jia Amnesty glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, then at the other two, and said, "Did you two listen to me or did you recruit yourself?"
