Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22 Sudden Inspiration

The interview was only 3 minutes before and after, and it ended so simply. Su Mu didn't expect the process to be so simple, and he couldn't get back to his senses for a while.

This is a high-level position with a monthly salary of three taels. It's not serious. No matter what, I have to put on a face. It is only in line with the procedure to let me go home and wait for the phone call!

When Hu Baihu left, the accountant, like a mouse that had just escaped from the cat's clutches, heaved a sigh of relief and fell limply on the recliner, took a few sips from his teacup, and then groaned contentedly: "Su Mu, is your name called that?"

When Su Mu responded, the accountant said: "My surname is Li. I have been getting older in recent years, and I always feel that my energy is not good. There are occasional mistakes in my daily accounts. When you came just now, you were being punished by the master! It just so happens that you are here, and you can help me share some of the burden."

Su Mu: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Su Mu is a careful person, by the way, what should I do?"

Accountant Li let out a sigh of relief with a smile. He probably felt that Su Mu was a bit cautious when he first arrived, so he said, "It's nothing to worry about. You can read the account book first and get familiar with it. Don't be so restrained, just be casual. Anyway, from now on." The tent is yours."

Accountant Li has worked here for more than ten years, and the accounts he handles are unknown.The few questions that Hu Baihu asked just now were not difficult for him, but he might not be so fast with mental calculations alone, which shows that this Su Mu has a dexterous mind.

What's more, his last answer seemed rude, but it hit the boss's liking.

This person is so smart and knows how to change, could he be a fool?

From the looks of it, he is a cheap young man, and the accountant and warehouse will be his possessions in the future, so he can't be offended too much.

Seeing that Lao Li was very enthusiastic about him, Su Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.When most people are new to work in a new place, what they are most afraid of is not being able to get along with their colleagues.

Just nodded, went straight to the case, picked up the ledger and looked at it.

Seeing this, I find it troublesome.

Although Hu Baihu is an officer of a hundred households, the military household guards these days are useless, and he has transformed from a military department into a production unit.The Hu family's business mainly consists of two parts: the land of the guard and the business of the warehouse.Daily business of mountain goods, silk, and part-time usury.

Hu Baihu's business is very big, and he receives thousands of taels every year. In order to manage his boss and the government, he has to give out several hundred taels.Once in and out, the accounts are complicated, and the running account is used, which seems to be a headache.Among them, he also used a large number of free military households, but this part still had to go on the account, so it became more troublesome.

No wonder Lao Li just complained that he had a headache.

Su Mu was originally a liberal arts student, and he is not very sensitive to numbers. After reading it for a long time, he felt impetuous.

The sound of reading on the other side of the yard stopped, and then there was a loud yell, interspersed with Shao Tai's scolding.

The yell sounded familiar.

Lao Li was reading a book, looked up and listened, and said: "The one who was beaten was the master's distant nephew Hu Jinxue, a scumbag who doesn't know how to speak, sure enough, he offended Mr. Shao on the first day of school today, and got beaten. Well, speaking of it, Mr. Shao is also well-known in the entire Baoding Mansion. The master spent a lot of money to invite him to sit in the restaurant, but it's a pity that the boys in the clan really don't live up to it."

It was only when he heard Lao Li mentioning Shaotai that Su Mu felt a little uneasy.

He and Shao Tai agreed to come here to study, but now they are working as the tent of the Hu family, if Mr. Shao sees it.With the character of the old master, seeing this scene, he didn't know how to scold himself.

No, I have to find a way to get off work early and avoid today.

Thinking of this, Su Mu walked up to Lao Li, and was about to ask when the inn closed, when he saw that the book in Lao Li's hand was not a ledger, but a chapter novel.

When Su Mu was teaching at a university in his previous life, he studied Ming and Qing novels. He was curious, so he went to take a look, but he was not familiar with them.

Literary poems in Ming and Qing Dynasties were already powerful, but romance novels suddenly emerged, and a large number of famous and famous novels were published. Represented by the Four Great Masterpieces, they are a peak of Chinese classical literature.

With the further popularization of printing, the literacy rate is much higher than that of the previous dynasty. Novels, especially novels of world affairs, are one of the main leisure and entertainment methods for ordinary citizens.Visiting brothels, listening to operas, we don't have the financial strength, so reading a few novels is still affordable.

"Old Li, what about reading, what kind of book, isn't it good?"

Lao Li pinched the two mouse whiskers on his upper lip with his fingers, and replied, ""Pin Hua Lu" is quite good."

"This name sounds strange." Su Mu was curious. He had never heard of this book, and it probably wasn't very well written, so it wasn't passed on to future generations: "What is the story about?"

Hearing Su Mu's question, Lao Li scratched the itchy spot, and said: "The story is actually very simple. It tells about a widow who has been widowed for many years. The family raised a nine-year-old boy. After a few years, this boy grew up. A rogue next door coveted the beauty of the widow, but had no chance of getting it. So he instigated the young man to sleep naked, and deliberately exposed his work. The widow was worried that the young man would catch cold at night, so she would go over to cover him with a quilt every night , I just saw this scene, and after a long time, I was moved, and I had an affair with this little servant."

Old Li said with joy: "The two of you got together for a while, and the rogue came to threaten the widow when he saw that the matter had been accomplished, and wanted to do something good, otherwise he would spread the scandal... Tsk tsk, good plan, good plan!"

Speaking of the plot, the old accountant's saliva flowed out.

Damn, isn't this a dirty novel?

Su Mu was taken aback. No one cared if the pornographic novels of the Ming Dynasty could be bought on the street!Also, this old Li is too outrageous, if he reads a book at work, he is not afraid that people will see him as a joke and disrespect him?

However, after thinking about it, Su Mu understood.

It turns out that during the reign of Hongzhi and Jiajing, it was the embryonic stage of capitalism, and the people were prosperous.However, land annexation intensified, and a large number of landless peasants poured into the city, took root in the city, and formed a huge citizen class.

Market culture is nothing more than food and drink for men and women, and the customs are becoming more and more prosperous.Not only the grassroots, but even the imperial court and scholars are not ashamed of talking about sex, and it is even a fashion.

As far as Su Mu knew, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, the author of "Jin Ping Mei", the first of the top ten great poets in ancient China, was actually Wang Shizhen.

Who is Wang Shizhen, a litterateur of the Ming Dynasty, a leader of the last seven sons, a minister of the Ministry of punishment, a serious Jinshi and a cultural celebrity, and a senior official at the ministerial level.

Not only are officials and scholar-officials not ashamed of writing romantic poems, but they are also praised as refined and elegant, with the demeanor of celebrities.

Hey, am I worrying about having no capital and not knowing how to make money?

Just copy a few Fengyue novels out, this is a worthless business!
