The shopkeeper sat opposite An Ge and drank tea, and when he saw that Lin Zi was in order, he opened his account book and said, "Ninth Master, I'm all right here." ”

Xiaoyu took the ledger and cleared her throat.

Lin Zi shook the abacus in his hand and lined it up and down neatly, and then replied, "Ninth Master, please." ”

Xiaoyu read aloud: "40 runs, 120 runs..."

An Ge looked at Lin Zi's side face, his long eyelashes flickering with his gaze. Three fingers gently dialed the abacus, at the beginning Xiaoyu was still reading slowly, but in the back it became faster and faster, Lin Zibai's fat fingers seemed to be dancing on the abacus.

An Ge looked at such a forest in surprise, and it took a long time to slowly swallow the tea in his mouth.

It took two pages to read it like this. Xiaoyu asked, "It's a total of seven thousand two hundred and eighty-five texts?"

Lin Zi was stunned and exclaimed in annoyance: "Oh, what's wrong, I counted seven thousand one hundred and thirty-four texts." You take it, I'll see, it's a miscalculation, it shouldn't be. Shopkeeper, your account is not right. ”

An Ge looked at Lin Zi in surprise and thought to himself, "Maybe you miscalculated." ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Ninth Master, if you are like this again, the little one will settle accounts with Lin Zi by himself." ”

Xiaoyu burst into laughter, patted his head and said, "Oh, I just saw my eyes, and it really cost seven thousand one hundred and thirty-four wen." ”

Lin Zi saw her smiling awkwardly, stomped her foot and said, "Ninth Master!" ”

As he spoke, he snatched the account book from Xiao Yu's hand, An Ge looked back at the shopkeeper, and saw that he seemed to be common, and lowered his head and drank tea with a pleasant expression.

This time, Lin Zi didn't look at the abacus, only tilted his head to look at the ledger, picked up a page with his left hand, and the three fingers of his right hand flew up and down. An Ge looked at it for a while, only to hear the crackling and crisp sound of the abacus like running water. I don't know why, I'm a little out of breath.

At this time, Lin Zi had already turned a page, and after calculating for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Zi exhaled a breath, pushed the abacus to Xiaoyu, pressed the total number with one hand, pointed to the abacus with the other, and said firmly: "That's right." ”

An Ge was relieved, looked up and saw the shopkeeper on the opposite side of the road also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Zi with appreciation, and said, "Who has a daughter like you, but I'm proud." ”

Lin Zi's face turned red, and the shopkeeper had a son of the same age, so he inquired about Lin Zi with Xiaoyu, and when he heard that she had promised An Ge, he sighed several times.

After the account was settled, the three of them got into the carriage and went home, Yang Baochen sat outside to guard, and An Ge rarely rode with Xiaoyu, so he sat a little cramped opposite. Lin Zi smiled and asked, "Girl, who do you take with you to learn etiquette at Mrs. Zhang's Mansion in Ming'er?"

Xiaoyu looked at the way she wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and laughed: "Do you want to go?"

Lin Zi, who was still full of confidence when he took inventory, hesitated at this time, and said with a red face: "I, I'm afraid of embarrassing you." Sister Yingxue said that those rules are difficult to learn, and she will beat people when she is angry. ”

Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, are you afraid, do you still want to go?"

Lin Zi wrung his fingers and said after a while: "Girl, it would be nice if you let me bring two people to serve." ”

Xiaoyu laughed: "You don't know, your sister Yingxue is not willing to go." She came out of the palace, what rules are in the palace, and who knows better than her. "I thought in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have the cheekiness to ask the prince for someone.

When Lin Zi heard this, he realized that he had been tricked by Xiaoyu again, and said angrily: "I ignore you." ”

Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Lin tent, remember it in the future, the maid next to me is called Linzi, and it will be the monthly example of a second-class maid in the future." ”

Lin Zi looked at Xiaoyu in surprise, and then turned his head and pulled An Ge: "An Ge, I heard you right." Regardless of the cramped space in the car, he turned over and knelt down to thank Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu looked at her with a smile and said, "If you don't play well in abacus and don't have clear accounts, I won't promote you." It's all your own effort. ”

An Ge couldn't say a word on the sidelines, so he had to laugh awkwardly. Fortunately, the journey was not far away, and when he arrived at the mansion in a blink of an eye, An Ge returned to his room alone. As soon as she washed up, Nan Wan came over: "The ninth master has something, let you hurry up." ”

An Ge was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he arrived at Xiaoyu's study, he saw more than a dozen children around ten years old standing in the courtyard, each with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. An Ge said Xiaoyu's voice should not be hoarse all the time, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

Song Huanhuan, who was waiting at the door, beckoned to him: "An Ge, come in and talk." ”

An Ge's heart was up and down, and he didn't dare to look at the boys on both sides, so he walked through the courtyard and entered the small study in a daze. Xiaoyu looked at him and smiled: "I picked some people, you hurry up and pick a small guy first, it's more comfortable to serve your own people." ”

An Ge put down the heart he was carrying, followed Xiaoyu out, and chose a simple man with a strong brain. Song Huanhuan asked: "His name is Shishi, you see if you want to change your name." ”

An Ge looked at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu nodded at him, An Ge thought for a while and said, "It's still called the stone handle, I like this name a lot." ”

Xiaoyu asked Nanhuan to bring stones to An Ge's room. led An Ge into the study again, and An Ge felt much more relaxed at this time, so he got up casually. Xiaoyu asked him to sit on the small bench before saying, "I will open restaurants in several nearby cities in a few days, and you will teach the rest of the people, and one in each restaurant in the future." At this point, we have all lost the opportunity, but I'm afraid that other places have begun to follow suit, so you have to move quickly. ”

An Ge's face turned white when he heard this, so he had to lower his head and say yes.

Xiaoyu said again: "Just like you back then, you usually work in the house, and when you come back, I will teach them." An Ge's mind was buzzing, where else could he think of anything else, so he just nodded blankly and said yes. Xiaoyu frowned, and said a few more words: "These dozen or so, you can't all leave the storyteller, they all signed the deed." Those who can say are left, and those who can't be eliminated are eliminated and work in the house or Zhuangzi. It's the first time you're in charge of so many people, if you don't know what to do, you can discuss it with Steward Song. With that, he sent him back to the front yard with the men.

An Ge is only a teenager, and for more than a month, everyone in front of and behind him has been holding the moon like a moon, even adults can't stand it, and they don't know their identity for a long time. Now looking at these boys following behind him, his heart is like pouring a basin of cold water on his head.

Seeing that they were all settled, An Ge came back to his room in a daze in a daze, when Shi came in and said, "There is a girl named Lin Zi looking for you outside." ”

An Ge's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran out, Lin Zi looked at the people in the courtyard, and sighed: "Let's talk outside." As they walked, they thought about their own thoughts.

An Ge looked at no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "What does Ninth Master mean by this? Is it because I am not doing well in some place? Is it that someone in the restaurant is saying bad things about me behind my back?"

Lin Zi looked at him, sighed, and thought, "That's what the girl said, just because I'm in this mountain." Lin Zi thought for a while and said with a smile: "None of them." However, your temper has also gotten a little bit lately. Now it's okay, the heart is empty. ”

An Ge just wanted to reprimand her twice, thinking about how dare he dare in his current situation, after all, he is young, although he has a little arrogance, he has not lost his nature. I just tugged at her sleeve pitifully. When Lin Zi saw him like this, he remembered what happened when he was a child. I couldn't bear to toss him according to what Xiaoyu said: "The heart of the ninth master, can be like you, just such a restaurant, I don't know the southeast and northwest proudly? I can't say it, I'm going to do big things anyway. Let's just talk about this storyteller, I listen to her meaning, at least every house must have her storyteller. ”

An Ge was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a cool breath. It took a long time before he asked, "Then what should I do?" Thinking of Lin Zi's appearance in the private room, his heart was a little sour. It's just that one day Jiu Ye doesn't want Lin Zi here, she will plan to find a job where she can't find a job. It's the tent room in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper is very polite when he sees it.

Lin Zi looked at An Ge's appearance, remembering what he had passed by a few months ago, and how he didn't know what he was thinking. Hurriedly comforted him and said: "I listen to the master, these people also want others to take care of them, the ninth master said..."

An Ge looked at what she said, and he was so anxious that he only rubbed his hands.

Lin Zi thought about it and said according to what the girl taught: "In the future, among this new group of children, choose someone who is good and can train people, and take care of you storytellers." ”

When An Ge heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time, he only felt that there was nowhere to put his face, he turned around and walked back, Lin Zi grabbed him: "Don't think about teaching those children indiscriminately, ruining the big things of the Ninth Master, I heard that these restaurants still have those high-ranking officials and nobles." When the time comes, the Ninth Master... Let's put it this way, how much time did it take for the Ninth Master to teach you. You're just trying to spoil him, but you're just slowing him down. If he wanted to... Neither of us is enough..."

An Ge looked at Lin Zi's eyes, and couldn't help but hang his head gloomily. It took a long time before he muttered, "What then?"

In fact, these two people also thought too much about Xiaoyu, and it only took Xiaoyu more than ten days to teach An Ge to be true, and most of it was due to An Ge's own contributions. An Ge is already good at this, and if it were an ordinary person who memorized the story, it would take a lot of effort. Not to mention, it will be said in a colorful way. But Xiaoyu hung An Ge's appetite again, speaking of which, when Xiaoyu didn't even exert ten strength.

An Ge didn't have such insight, just as a person, it took more than ten days of hard work to be like him, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, only feeling that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his future had come to an end.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zi felt a little uncomfortable, took his hand and said, "An Ge, don't be sad." No matter what happens in the future, how others look at you, I am..."

An Ge was stunned for a moment, although he was a little moved in his heart, he didn't think so. First, he has not yet reached the end of the road, and secondly, Lin Zi is willing to live a dull life with him, and he himself is not happy, which man doesn't want to make a career?

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and not far away, someone asked the little girl who was doing rough work in the yard to eat, and Lin Zi reluctantly looked at An Ge: "It's time to eat, I have to go back to serve the ninth master." Don't think about those things that don't have a shadow, it's serious to do the things that the master explained first. ”R1152
