Beautiful step by step

Chapter 92

In the early morning of the second day, when Wei Wei was doing the accounting, he took Gu Yu with him along the way.

Ayun came to the northwest with him, and also brought homework.Layman Yishan not only arranged big characters for him, but also had tasks such as arithmetic and travel notes.Aside from these paperwork, he also needs to be familiar with riding a donkey.That's right, it was riding a donkey. The horses in the Northwest Army were too tall and too big, and it was impossible for Ah Yun to control them with his stature.But the donkey is different, its short body jumps up and down when running, it looks funny, and it is not dangerous for children to ride.

With a mountain of homework, Ah Yun, who has become a white bread, clings to her.Wei Wei added a table next to it, and the two of them wrote big characters and made an abacus. After a while, she got tired of doing the abacus, so she stretched out her hands to pinch the white bun face.And Ah Yun, who has been quiet all this time, will also show an appointment smile on his face, throwing himself into her arms and making a fuss with her.

"Gu Yu, from today onwards you and Ah Yun will learn to write big characters and learn arithmetic together, you two can discuss things you don't know."

Gu Yu looked like he was avoiding it and said: "I will disturb Ah Yun."

Wei Wei winked at Ah Yun, and the latter raised a sweet voice and said: "Sister Ah Mao said that we can write better than any of us. With Sister Gu Yu by my side, I will concentrate more on writing."

The little guy's bright eyes blocked Gu Yu's refusal in his throat.

Wei Wei continued to work hard: "Yanji Xiaomi's business is on the right track, and I also wrote to Guangyuan Building in Beijing to discuss cooperation matters. Our family will only get busier in the future. Gu Yu, you are the most capable person around me , if you don't know how to write and settle accounts, then I will be busy then."

It turned out that Madam had placed such high expectations on her.

Gu Yu, who just wanted to coax the child before, instantly ignited a raging fighting spirit in his heart.Madam thinks highly of her so much, she has to study hard no matter what.

Seeing that her expression became serious, Wei Wei was satisfied.Although Gu Yu is young, sometimes she can't hold her own, seeing Wei's mother doting on her will hurt her heart.But being young is not without its benefits, at least she is easily talked about with enthusiasm.Today's matter is going to be replaced by an elderly old fritter, she still has a lot of talk.

"This is my usual brush, ink and paper are ready-made."

Wei Wei took out a brush from the pen holder next to the account book. The brush was made by a shop that produced kraft paper.The brush uses local materials, and carefully selects the hair of wild wolves in the northwest.The dipped ink is full and even, and the writing is light and smooth. Even she, who is used to calligraphy with hard pens, fell in love with this pen in a short time.

As a personal maid, of course Gu Yu has been using this kind of pen until his wife.

It was precisely because of this that she was uneasy at this moment: "Madam, I can't read a single big character, how can I use such a good paper. Also, this paper is also commonly used by Madam. The price of a piece of white paper can buy a thick stack of kraft paper. .”

After listening to it, Ah Yun showed surprise: "Sister Ah Mao gave me such a good paper for practicing big characters?"

White paper is expensive there, but kraft paper is obviously too cheap.The proprietor of the Four Treasures of the Study shop was about to die of worry from the pile of kraft paper that squeezed the warehouse. Seeing that she was willing to take it, he almost packed it for her at a free price.Not only that, as long as paper is being made, there will be a steady stream of waste paper pulp.After Yan Heng tried Zhou Qianhu in accordance with the will of the people, the straightforward store directly stated that it would always supply kraft paper at an ultra-low price.

The truth is like this, but now Wei Wei doesn't want to tell the truth at all.

Walking to Ahyun's desk, with the white paper stuck to it, she said quietly: "When cutting out Yanji's millet paper bag, there are indeed a lot of leftovers. But if you use that kind of paper to practice calligraphy, no matter whether the writing is good or bad, how much paper is wasted , you won’t be distressed. But it’s different with white paper, every piece of paper is white and silver. When you think of this, you will be extra serious when you write, so that you can practice your handwriting well.”

Gu Yu nodded understandingly, A Yun's white bun face wrinkled together.

"Sister Ah Wei, I will definitely write well."

"Ma'am, I must practice hard."

Seeing this, Wei Wei nodded with satisfaction as their learning attitudes were unprecedentedly upright.

"Gu Yu has just started learning, so his eyes must be darkened. Ayun brought a copybook, just like the usual embroidery. You can draw red on it. I control the time, divide one hour into two parts, and take a break every three cups of tea. A cup of tea. Alright, let's start now."

After the word "start" was uttered, the two quickly sat upright.Wei Wei also sat in front of the window, and continued to count the half-calculated accounts.

An account book has about 60 pages, and it is a counting method of 15 years for a total of 15 years.It takes about [-] minutes for a cup of tea, and she can check ten pages of account books in [-] minutes. After she finished checking half of the account books, she rubbed her sore neck, turned her head and glanced, and one of them couldn't help laughing.

As expected of a beginner, Gu Yu couldn't hold the brush steadily, and when the ink got on his hands, he wiped his face with his hands, and his originally fair face turned into a big tabby cat.

Hearing her laughter, Ah Yun looked up and saw Gu Yu's sister's face as well, her black grape-like eyes were stained with a smile.

Of the three people in the room, only Monk Gu Yuzhang couldn't figure it out.

"Ma'am, Ayun, what are you laughing at?"

A Yun said first: "Sister Gu Yu, your face is stained with ink."

Wei Wei suppressed a smile and nodded: "Next is a break for a cup of tea, you can wash it first... Ha... Use some soap, it should be able to wash it clean."

"what!"

Gu Yu finally came to his senses, screamed and rushed out covering his face.

Wei Wei and A Yun who stayed in the room couldn't bear it anymore, they leaned together and laughed together.

"It's broad daylight, what are you two laughing at?"

The door curtain flickered, and Mother Wei walked in: "Ah, there is a girl in red outside leading a carriage. She gave her surname Qian and said that the carriage was Uncle Heng's family."

"Qian...it should be Ah Luo. She knows her cousin, so the person who came should be my uncle. Ah Yun, uncle and cousin are here."

Ah Yun put down the brush and rushed out of the door immediately.

Wei Wei took Mother Wei's hand and walked out, while telling her about the situation of Uncle Wei's family: "Now there are only four people left in the Wei family, uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin. Their family treated Ah Heng very well before."

Mother Wei nodded: "You said this in your letter earlier."

After a pause, she asked in a low voice: "But that cousin... Ah Mao, there are so many cousins ​​who kiss each other more. It's not that mother thinks too much. According to you, the relationship between Brother Heng and his uncle's family is very unusual... ..."

Wei Wei hurriedly stopped Wei's mother: "I know that mother is doing it for my own good, but you don't have to worry. My cousin is right outside the gate. I don't need to say how she is. Mother can rest assured just by taking a look."

After that, she quickened her pace and stepped over the threshold to welcome him out.Cousin Wei got out of the carriage first, and was helping Uncle Wei down at the moment. Seeing this, Wei Wei hurried up to meet him.

"Aheng didn't know in advance that uncle would come today, so he went to the Youzhou government office early in the morning to wait for orders, so I sent someone to look for him."

Uncle Wei hurriedly stopped her: "The business is important, and it's not some distinguished guests, they are all ordinary relatives, so there's no need to mobilize people like this."

Wei Wei looked at the sun in the sky: "It's about the same time, and Ah Heng will be back later. My uncle is not fully recovered from his illness, so why did he travel so long. Thanks to Ah Luo's guidance, otherwise this place would be so remote. Look for it. You must be tired after traveling so far, pears and Gu Yu are stewed on the stove, hurry up and get a few bowls for everyone to quench their thirst."

Uncle Wei retorted in a low voice, "I know the way."

Ah Tong, who came down at the end, thanked Ah Luo, and walked forward with an affectionate face: "I miss my cousin, and I dragged him over when I saw that my father was recovering. It's strange to say that my father is almost better now." , but in the past two days near Youzhou, his condition has relapsed, which is really worrying."

It must be a mental illness... Wei Wei and Ah Tong exchanged glances, and instantly understood.If it weren't for Ah Tong, I'm afraid Uncle Wei wouldn't be able to come.Even if he finally came, he still felt a little pimple in his heart.

Wei's mother, who had been silently observing Ah Tong, saw that she was full of bookishness, and her attitude towards her daughter was intimate and tacit.Sure enough, as her daughter said, she was completely relieved after just seeing each other.
