Chapter 97 Greedy ink, check the account books

Xin Ruo was stunned when she heard this. Although the business of that shop was not too prosperous, it was not bad. The profit was only less than 300 taels, which meant that it was less than ten taels of silver a day. There must be something tricky about it.

Xin Ruo cast his eyes on Zhan Moyu, he has already started to take care of business.

I don't know if he can read the ledgers, so I just took this opportunity to try it out, Xin Ruo smiled and said, "Concubine Mu, the shop is going to be cleaned up now, can those ledgers be used to teach Xianggong?"

The concubine was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses and asked Yu'er to read the account books. Yu'er used to read only poems and songs, would she know how to read the account books?

The daughter-in-law was not very favored at home before, and it was impossible to get in touch with the account books. The princess thought for a while and said, "Just look at the account books, and no one will teach you. Tomorrow, you come to the concubine mother. you."

Xin Ruo didn't expect the concubine to say that, so she froze there.

Well, it's not necessary to teach her to read the ledger, it's fine to teach the evildoers, so I use my eyes to spread the black feathers.

Zhan Moyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes again, looking at the princess with shining phoenix eyes, pouted slightly and said, "I want to see if the account books are good, before I decide whether to learn from my mother or not."

As soon as the princess heard it, she knew that he was playing petty again.

Looking at the account books is a boring thing. Although the princess wanted Zhan Moyu to learn, she didn't want to embarrass him, so she turned her attention to Xin Ruo.

Yu'er has a child's heart, and she will have to rely more on her daughter-in-law in the future. Seeing Wang Hao's gaze, Xin Ruo's heart thumped, oh my god, don't think about her, she is not interested in those chickens, ducks and fish, besides, she will read the account book , no need to learn.

So he tugged at Zhan Moyu's clothes, pulling once and then again, comparing each other with more force.

Zhan Moyu couldn't help but glared at her, there was still a little gloating in his eyes, it must have set him on fire, seeing Xin Ruo pouting his mouth and blinking his eyes bitterly begging for mercy.

Zhan Moyu raised his eyebrows, and smiled magnificently, both human and god were angry, Xin Ruo was restrained again, secretly wondering if this fellow would take the opportunity to make trouble.

I heard him say, "Lady, watch it with me when you go back." The voice was as mellow as fine wine as always, but with a little anger.

Xin Ruo immediately burst into a smile, nodded repeatedly, and Zhan Moyu opened his mouth. Naturally, it is difficult for the princess to mention it again. She has to learn to read the account books. There will be more opportunities in the future. Don't be in a hurry at this moment, just let them up.

The concubine caught a glimpse of shopkeeper Chen still kowtowing, frowned displeased, and said coldly, "Go back and fetch the account book, and I will deal with you after I check it out."

After finishing speaking, she gestured to Zhou's mother with her eyes, and Zhou's mother immediately understood, helped the shopkeeper Chen whose legs were trembling, and went out, probably to accompany him back to get the account book.

Knowing that he corrupted 3000 taels of ink, but did not deal with him, the reason was to find out the matter.

Shopkeeper Chen, what does a house slave want so much money for? Second, the house slave is greedy for Mo’s master’s money, and it’s shameless for the princess to spread the word. After all, it’s a dowry slave and a decent old man, the princess still can’t bear it.

After more than half an hour, Zhou's mother came back, and there were still several large piles of ledgers, probably from the past few years.

Zhan Moyu had stayed in the princess's courtyard for a long time, and he was already impatient. When Zhou's mother came, he signaled the servant girl to take the account book and send it to Jiangzixuan.

After taking the account book, Xin Ruo and Zhan Moyu went directly to the study together. The maid put the account book on the desk and retreated. There were only Xin Ruo, Zhan Moyu and Mo Lan in the study.

Zhan Moyu naturally knew what Xin Ruo meant. She suspected that there was something wrong with these account books. Asking him to reconcile the accounts was not only to check whether there was really a problem with the shopkeeper Chen, but also to see his ability to read the accounts.

To be honest, this was indeed the first time for him to look at the account books. Looking at the large account books, he really felt a little panicked. It can be seen that Xin Ruo's face was filled with anticipation.

Mo Lan moved a wooden chair for Xin Ruo to sit on, while she stood aside and waited on her with a low eyebrow.

Xin Ruo also picked out the account book to look at, and took notes from time to time, writing in a swish.

Sitting in the middle, Zhan Moyu saw it, and couldn't help but stare at her with those seductive phoenix eyes. There was confusion in her clear and bright eyes, but in the blink of an eye, she had already turned three pages.

The ancients used a brush to write, no matter how small the writing was, it was still so big that you couldn’t remember much on a page, so Xin Ruo could read it so quickly.

Involuntarily pushing the wheelchair towards Xin Ruo, Xin Ruo noticed his gaze, and couldn't help looking up.

Seeing a pair of seductive phoenix eyes on his handsome face, Xin Ruo blinked and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Moyu didn't answer, but reached out to take Xin Ruo's densely written paper, and twisted his beautiful sword eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something.

Xin Ruo was holding the pen in one hand, while staring at him with his eyes, his eyes showed confusion. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "Is this a number? What is it called?"

Xin Ruoxin jumped, and blurted out, "Arabic numerals, how do you know?"

This is an overhead dynasty, not to mention Arabic numerals, even the abacus may not have it.

Last time when she sent her grandson Art of War and the prince, she felt that something was wrong. This time, seeing that Zhan Moyu even knew Arabic numerals, she was even more surprised. Someone must have passed through it first!
Since she can wear it, others can naturally, and now that time travel is so popular, maybe she can meet her peers.

After all, no matter if it is unlucky or lucky, it will not be such a coincidence that it will only fall on her head. Every time-traveling woman has her own legend, and I don't know where her legend is.

"I saw it in my grandfather's house when I was a child," Zhan Moyu replied in a nasty voice, staring at Xin Ruo with a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. Back then, my grandfather only knew that these were Arabic numerals, but he didn't know how to use them. .

When I saw her today, I made it up by hand, why?
Upon hearing this, Xin Ruo hurriedly tugged Zhan Moyu's arm and shook it, and asked with a little excitement, "Apart from numbers, is there a grandson's Art of War? But what else?"

Zhan Moyu was staggered by Xin Ruoyao, and the corners of her mouth were stiff. Was this girl too excited?

Holding Xin Ruo's hand behind his back, a pair of evil and charming phoenix eyes stared at Xin Ruo closely, and Xin Ruo's face turned red when he felt heat in his ears.

Mo Lan looked at it, couldn't help but glanced over her head, couldn't help but glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, and finally couldn't help but blushed and left the room.

Seeing Mo Lan leaving with a blushing face, Xin Ruo couldn't help but glared at him, "Just talk nicely, why are you holding my hand?"

Everyone misunderstood, Mo Lan and Zi Lan saw that Xin Ruo hadn't consummated the house, and they were in a hurry. Seeing that there was a sign of such a point, Mo Lan hurriedly squatted outside the study to prevent outsiders Go in and bother.

Zhan Moyu blushed when Xin Ruo choked, let go of his hand, and finally pulled it tight again, his eyes were foggy, and he pouted as if he had been bullied, "You were the one who pulled me first. His arm hurts to death."

Only then did Xin Ruo remember that it was she who made the move first, and she couldn't help but take a breath, and tried several times to forcefully pull back her hand, but it didn't work.

Zhan Moyu hugged Xin Ruo directly on his lap and sat down, leaning his chin on Xin Ruo's neck, and asked softly, "How do you know those things?" I'm afraid even the concubine mother didn't know those things. .

Xin Ruo's neck was itchy from the breath he exhaled, and his hands were held by him again. She couldn't scratch it even if she wanted to, so she had to put on a bitter face and begged for mercy, "Let go first, and I'll tell you later."

Zhan Moyu really let go, Xin Ruo moved to a comfortable position, faced Zhan Moyu, stretched out his hand to pinch his ear, and said seriously, "Actually, I also heard people say that the one who taught you numbers Who is the person?"

Zhan Moyu put his arms around Xin Ruo's slender waist, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xin Ruo's nose.

He laughed and said, "Where did anyone teach it? At that time, I felt a little novel. I thought that such ugly characters were written by someone, so I asked one more question. My grandfather didn't know where he learned it. He didn't know much about it. I Where do you learn from?"

Xin Ruo's expression darkened when he heard this, he didn't know, maybe he finally met a fellow countryman, and just disappeared, it's impossible not to be disappointed.

According to him, even if that person really existed, at least it belonged to his grandfather's generation, and it is very likely that he is gone long ago.

Even if he is still alive, the sea of ​​people is vast, where to go to find it, so what if he finds it, and whether he can go back through it again, Xin Ruo laughed at himself.

Zhan Moyu looked at Xin Ruo's gloomy expression, panicked for no reason, reached out to caress her face, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the fear and worry in his eyes, Xin Ruo felt warm in her heart, tried to force a smile, and shook her head.

Pinching his ears, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay, since you know the numbers, I'll teach you, and you will be able to read accounts much faster in the future."

Xin Ruo did what he said, and immediately taught him Arabic numerals, multiplication and division and other calculation methods.

Originally thought that Zhan Moyu might need some time to accept Arabic numerals, unexpectedly, he had mastered them all in less than a quarter of an hour, and multiplication and division were also easy.

This surprised Xin Ruo, who could not have imagined that his receptivity was so strong, even if he listed a few examples, he seemed to be able to give the answer with just a twinkle in his eyes.

In one afternoon, Zhan Moyu turned over the account books, and Xin Ruo helped him do the calculations, and the seven or eight thick account books were done.

Xin Ruo's face sank when he saw the amount of silver money that shopkeeper Chen had calculated, and he didn't expect that in just two or three years, he would spend 700 taels of silver. After so many years of accumulation, it was quite a fortune. wealth.

"What do you think?" Xin Ruo flipped through the account books casually, but his eyes were on Zhan Moyu, and it took only a long time to find out the amount of money that shopkeeper Chen was greedy for. If he told it, no one would believe it.
