Shi Fei'er returned from enjoying the flowers in Ningguo Mansion, and just sat down, without even taking a sip of tea. This Jia Yu hurriedly came to him, and Shi Fei'er sighed: "Why can't you let me go quietly for a day?"

Jia Yu said with a smile: "My son didn't want to bother the old lady anymore, but he really came to bother because he was in a hurry." Today, I would like to ask the old lady to borrow one person, and I hope the old lady will agree. ”

Hearing Jia Yu say this, Shi Fei'er was a little surprised, and asked, "Aren't all the few people in the mansion at your disposal? Why do you want to come to me to borrow someone?"

"That's not because the old lady has the means, this ordinary person has been adjusted by the old lady like this, and he is extremely safe in speaking and doing things. Didn't you come to beg the old lady to open up?"

Shi Fei'er only smiled when she heard this, and didn't answer, just picked up the teacup in her hand, sipped it slowly, and left Jia Yu aside to avoid financial management. Jia Yu was neither annoyed nor irritable, so he stood and waited. Seeing that Jia Mu finished drinking the tea, she opened her mouth again and said, "The old lady will allow it this time." In the coming day, I found a few good ink lotus plants for the old lady, which can be regarded as compensating the old lady. ”

"Wait, why are you going to send me something and gag me without even mentioning who you borrowed? Tell me, who are you going to borrow today? ”

Hearing this, Jia Yu felt that Jia's mother was relieved, and looked at the egret standing beside Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, just lend me the Egret girl for two days." ”

Shi Fei'er was stunned when she heard this, there is this Jia Yu who forcibly married a mandarin duck in this book, why did Jia Yu borrow an egret today? Shi Fei'er rolled her eyes and said: "I rely on egrets and butterflies for daily care around me, can you tell me what is the use of borrowing my egrets?"

Hearing what Jia's mother said, Jia Yu felt that he was even more confident and said: "Although the old lady can rest assured, I borrowed Miss Egret just to ask her to teach the treasurers in the house to keep accounts." Although my account is good, it will be difficult for him to settle it for others, and it is always difficult to stammer. The son was also helpless, so he remembered to ask the old lady to borrow it, at most two days. Tomorrow, I will settle accounts with those shopkeepers first, and if there is no big problem, I will teach the Egret girl to learn this accounting. ”

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

Jia Yu nodded in response: "My son has already thought of a complete strategy. Since the incident with Lai Da in the house, his son has always reminded himself not to raise another group of borers who eat inside and out. Besides, I have given them a one-year leniency, and if they have the heart to repent, they will surely be changed. If I don't repent, I can't use it again. The inheritance earned by the hard work of the ancestors for the children and grandchildren cannot be corrupted by these moths and rats. Jia Yu was stunned, and his eyes showed a little confidence and said: "Old lady, you just wait to see a good show tomorrow." ”

Shi Fei'er also admired Jia Yu a little when she saw that she was so confident, and glanced at the egret standing beside her and said, "I'll lend you the egret and teach them to use a new method to keep accounts, but it's okay." It's just that those shopkeepers have been doing it for many years, and this egret is young, I'm afraid I can't suppress them. ”

"The old lady is relieved, and this is all right. I've got my own arrangements for tomorrow. I won't let the Egret girl be wronged. Jia Yu opened his mouth to reassure.

Suddenly, I had no choice but to respond. Shi Fei'er turned her head to the egret and said, "You put aside the things in your hands for the next few days, and listen to the call of the eldest master." If someone bullies you, just sue me when you come back, and I won't bother you. ”

Jia Yu smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, the old lady will never have such a thing." Hearing Mother Jia's arrangement, the egret nodded in response.

Shi Fei'er saw that the egret responded, and said: "It's okay for me to borrow it, but you still need to go to me." ”

Jia Yu was busy when he heard this: "Don't say one thing, even ten things should be done." The old lady said yes. ”

"You ask the Egret to teach you these shopkeepers to keep new accounts, and this Egret is their master. How can there be empty mouths and white teeth in this apprenticeship? According to common sense, students should not give some courtesy to the master. If I don't open my mouth, the egret will certainly not ask for it. Today I will ask for it for them. Teaching a shopkeeper is one or two silver coins, and let the money come out of itself, otherwise the inattention in this lesson will also delay the work. Shi Fei'er glanced at Jia Yu and said, "The people here can't do their best in vain, right? ”

When the egret heard that Jia Mu actually opened her mouth to ask for a tribute to Lilly, she was startled, and was about to speak, when she saw Jia Mu glaring at her, so she closed her mouth. Looking at Jia Yu again, he groaned slightly, and then said happily: "It's still the old lady who is powerful, so these shopkeepers can only teach this lesson well." I didn't expect it, but it seems that I still have to come to the old lady more to see more. ”

The egret was surprised that this Jia pardon deserved to be so happy, and before he came back to his senses, he heard Jia Mu say again: "The silver lord of the white egret will give it to you in the future, and you will continue, no need to refuse." The egret listened and thanked himself again.

The next morning, Mrs. Zhang came to greet the old lady, and then took the egret away. When he returned to his room, he took out a set of men's clothes and handed it to the Egret and said, "Egret girl, I know that you are a good bookkeeper, and you can teach those shopkeepers today." It's just that the daughter's body is not very convenient after all, so she should be more comfortable when she changes into men's clothes. At that time, I will tell those people that you are specially invited by the lord to go to sea to warn the royal merchant ships. Remember, just speak with a dumb voice. After that, he pushed the clothes forward and said, "This is the two days of the single, why don't you try it to see if it fits?"

The egret nodded in response, took the clothes, took off all the jewelry rings, washed his face and wiped his makeup, and sealed his ears and eyes with wax. I combed my hair again and changed my clothes. Mrs. Zhang looked at it from the side and smiled: "It's really good to look at it like this." ”

The egret spoke in a hoarse voice according to what Mrs. Zhang said, and Mrs. Zhang nodded in praise after mentioning a few words on the side.

Let's not mention the egret girl dressed as a man for the time being, and over there, Jia Yu is sitting in the hall with a teacup, full of momentum. Early this morning, the shopkeepers of the sons of the family in this house all arrived early.

This autumn festival is a tradition in Jiafu, although this year is a few days earlier than in previous years, everyone did not pay too much attention to it, and entered the house to pay the account. According to common sense, the housekeeper in the house can just ask. If the eldest lord is interested, he can ask in person. After asking, there was no problem. Just go to the old man and kowtow again.

It's just that this year, as soon as you enter the house, you feel that it is different from normal days. As soon as I entered the house, I paid the bill first. The steward who collected the accounts looked at the accounts, asked two questions, and gave each of them a number plate, and told them to wait in the room with the corresponding number plate. Everyone was puzzled, but because of this steward, they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to wait in different rooms according to their words. In a short time, the dueness was due, and the book was paid. At this time, the steward came into the waiting room with a pen and paper in his hand. When the people saw it, they hurriedly embraced him.

The steward smiled and said, "You don't have to worry for the time being, this account book has been sent to the master." The lord still has something to explain today, please take the pen and ink for your own use, will be the number of years you have served as the shopkeeper, the profit and loss of your own shop, and why the shop has been operating so far, all of which are written. Finally, write their respective names and surnames, and I will pick up a stick of incense. ”

Some of the people panicked a little when they heard this, and in the past, this account was empty, and when the governor of the house asked, he made up a reason and then paid homage to one or two, so why did he not follow the old routine today? Some in the crowd could not bear it and asked: "Why did you not follow the old routine this year?"

The steward sneered when he heard this: "The master told me so, and I did so." Dare to ask the master there. If you are not convinced, you will see the master in a while and ask yourself. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt very cold in their hearts, and although they had many doubts, they had to suppress them for the time being. Someone asked again: "This has been a long experience, and I can't remember it too clearly, can you check the old account books?"

The steward said: "As a shopkeeper, I don't remember the past few years of operation, so it can be seen that I haven't paid much attention to it on weekdays." You can think about it slowly, or write it clearly, or think clearly about how to reply when the master asks. I will only take this thing that you have written today, and there is no need to ask anyone else, and I will not know if I ask. ”

When the people heard this, they didn't dare to speak, so they had to hold the pen and write down what the man said. Sure enough, after a stick of incense, the steward came to collect it. The crowd did not dare to say more.

Jia Yu sat upright, looked at the business situation written by everyone with one hand, opened the account book with the other, and picked out all the things he wrote that did not match the account book. Seeing this, he picked out two-thirds of the account book shop. Jia Yu saw it and sneered: "I originally thought that if there was an incident with Laida, these people would be able to restrain themselves. Now it seems that I was too naïve. I want to continue fooling around today, but I can't. I'm going to make you eat and spit it out for me today. Then he slapped the book on the book, and said to the steward who was waiting beside him, "Go and call me the shopkeeper of these three shops." ”

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

The three shopkeepers originally had ghosts in their hearts, and when they saw that Jia Yu didn't let others call him alone, they were even more panicked. Seeing Jia Yu cautiously kowtowed, he saluted, lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Jia Yu glanced at the three kneeling on the ground, and didn't let them get up, and looked at them coldly for a while before saying: "The three of you are also old shopkeepers, and you have been managing the shop for twenty-five years, so why is it that the shop in your hands is not as good as one?

The shopkeeper Wang, who was in charge of Feng Ruixuan, heard Jia Yu's question, and his heart was full of emotions, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the master, the business has really not been good in the past few years." This market is not as good as a year, and I am helpless. ”

Jia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed nothing to be done. I heard that you also bought two more houses, and you raised a small drama in the courtyard? Not only that, but you also bought land for the little theater? These two houses cost 1,250 taels. This little drama cost eighty taels. You're very willing. However, I remember that the shopkeeper in our house is fifty taels a year, and there are bonuses for doing well. Although it is not low, but the shopkeeper Wang loses dividends every year, but this method is only about seniority, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it. ”

At this time, Wang's shopkeeper was like a blank sheet of paper, and he only knelt and kowtowed. Jia Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, and then looked at the other two and said, "Did you two listen to me or recruit yourself?"
