Don't be in a hurry

Chapter 296 Ascetic Monk 18
Since Zhang Xiucai came to visit, the latter began to come to Xufu every day.

This is not Zhang Xiucai's idea, but the literati bookkeeping method is becoming popular in the business world.

That is, when keeping accounts, you need to use capital letters and numbers to keep accounts, but how many servants nowadays can read big characters, even the housekeeper who settles accounts can only recognize a few big characters and write them out, that is not enough.

That's why Zhang Xiucai recommended himself to Mr. Xu when he heard this, and wrote a few big characters on the spot. The characters didn't seem to be comparable to those literati, and they were acceptable in this small Yun County.

In this way, Zhang Xiucai came to Xufu to work as a bookkeeper.

Of course, Mr. Xu is not stupid, let him keep the small accounts, but let his confidants handle the big accounts.

The small tent is just for others to see, and there is no need to hide it tightly.

After going back and forth like this, sometimes Zhang Xiucai would have a makeshift meal with the servants in the mansion after keeping the accounts, or make a makeshift sleep.

After more than a month, Zhang Xiucai went to Mr. Xu again and said that he wanted to live in the mansion, so that he would not have to worry about things at night when keeping accounts.

Mr. Xu disagreed at first. If Zhang Xiucai was the only one in his family, he could take him in, but Zhang Xiucai is married, so how easy it is to take him in.

Zhang Xiucai knew what Master Xu was thinking, and when he returned home, he took out part of the silver that had been hidden during this period of time and gave it to his wife, saying that it was Master Xu's reward for him to live in the mansion.

At first his mother-in-law didn't agree to get the money, but later Zhang Xiucai said that he would be rewarded every month when he lived in the mansion, and after coaxing him a lot, he was gentle, so his mother-in-law agreed, but every month The silver money given needs to be added by five coins.

Zhang Xiucai nodded quickly. Originally, he hid a little half of the money every month, and it would not affect it if he added five more.

He wanted to live in Xufu, in addition to more money, there is also that little lovely person that he can't forget in his heart.

The maidservants who listened to her called her Miss Yu Bai.

Just like that, Zhang Xiucai came to Mr. Xu again and said that his mother-in-law insisted that he do well in Xufu, and she agreed to live here.

Master Xu saw that the women and mothers agreed, so he had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to tidy up a room for him.

Of course, Zhang Xiucai's treatment is not as good as Yu Bai's, that is, he is worse than a servant, he doesn't have to squeeze with others, and he has a bed by himself, but the room is still in the servant's room.

A few more days later, Zhang Xiucai walked out after writing the account.

His face was livid, and he was very angry.

In the past few days of bookkeeping, he thought that what Master Xu kept in his accounts must be the lifeline of his business. At first, he was happy for a long time, and felt that Master Xu valued him very much, which made his face look very radiant.

Seeing this servant of Xufu, he felt that his status was higher than the maid, but after keeping the accounts for a few days, he found that the amount in the account was too small.

Zhang Xiucai looked at the surrounding environment, how could there be so few business accounts in such a majestic house!

Therefore, the content of the account kept for him is not the big account of Xufu, and he has not been treated differently by Master Xu at all. The praise of those few days has made him lose the pride and complacency of that time. He only feels that this is beating himself. Face!
"Zhang Xiucai, are you done with your work?" A servant came over.

"Yeah." Zhang Xiucai nodded, seeing the young servant who wanted to raise his head confidently, but remembered that his behavior was stupid, so he nodded casually at him and left.

The little servant looked at Zhang Xiucai's back, and yelled at the ground, "I really think I'm from Xufu."
