Chapter 3 To each according to his needs
"Where is my sister going this time?" Holding Mu Ting's hand, Mu Qing walked briskly.
Mu Ting's original smile faded a little, and he changed to a slightly sad look: "Go to the study, my father assigned me homework, and I will give it to him tomorrow." ”
Mu Qing was a little surprised, listening to Annu say that there are few scholars in the Mu family, although Mu Andao and his wife have both read, but they are very strict to restrict the people under them to be literate but not to read. I thought that this eldest lady was raised in the boudoir, and it was already good to learn knitting female popularity, but I didn't expect that my cheap uncle was very open-minded, and he actually let his daughter study and assign homework.
But this is a good thing, Mu Qing's peach blossom eyes bent up, and he was immature but could vaguely see that there was a curious look on his handsome face in the future: "Can I go with my sister?" ”
Mu Ting smiled, she was very bored by herself, and the girl Ping'er who accompanied her was a gourd with a sawed mouth, if she had someone to talk with her in her spare time, it would be good. She and this brother are not close, but after all, they are relatives, broken bones and tendons, although they don't see each other much, but they always feel a little more cordial than others when they talk, so they nodded in agreement.
Annu peeked at his master, only to feel that the bright smile on his face was very sincere at the moment.
Although he instructed Annu to steal books in the study many times, Mu Qing himself was the first time to come here.
The Mu family has never been short of money, and this study is very magnificently built. The vermilion gate is four or five meters high, and when you push it in, you will see rows of bookshelves. Hanging on the wall are celebrity calligraphy and paintings, looking at the payment, all of which are the handwriting of everyone in the world.
Any pair of them can be regarded as famous products, and they should be treasured, but they were placed in the study by the Mu family so arrogantly, and they were not afraid of losing them.
Mu Qing's attention was not on these famous calligraphy and paintings, but on those bookshelves. Blinking, I paid attention to it, but found that although the books on the shelves were complete, they were messily arranged, obviously hastily placed without classification. But Rao was like this, which still made Mu Qing's eyes hot for a while, and he wanted to jump in directly, but he was pulled up to the second floor by Mu Ting.
The second floor is much more spacious than the first floor that is full of books, the sunlight shines in through the window, and on a vermilion case, the four treasures of the study room are readily available, and it looks spotless, obviously someone has carefully taken care of it.
And Mu Qing was attracted by the small bookshelf in the corner at first sight.
A dozen pieces of paper, Mu Qing looked at it, and it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be a test paper!
The top one is the Jingyi of Liu Shiren, the great Confucian of the dynasty!
It is not appropriate to say that it is a test paper, there is neither Zhu Zhu or red grid on it, it is obviously copied, and it is not valuable outside, but it is priceless in Mu Qing's heart.
I thought that according to Annu's timid nature, he didn't dare to come to the second floor, and he was afraid that he would only copy the book neatly in a corner where no one was on the first floor, so he didn't talk to him about these things.
"What is this?" Mu Qing pretended to be curious and asked.
"My father bought it from outside, and it cost a lot of money, but it's rarely seen."
After listening to Mu Ting's words, Mu Qing knew that the eldest master of the Mu family had been cheated.
However, the pit is good, isn't it just cheapening yourself.
Mu Qing's eyes were hot for a while, and he wanted to go to see it, but he didn't move in the end, and obediently accompanied Mu Ting to the side of the case. Mu Ting sat on a wide chair, and the little maid Ping'er Momo and Mu Qing pulled Annu to stand aside.
"It's a difficult question?" Mu Ting looked at a booklet for a long time, but it was not a penny, so Mu Qing asked curiously.
Mu Ting smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that it's difficult, it's just that I'm not interested in these things in the first place, and now I only feel bored when I look at them." ”
Mu Qing took a few steps forward to look at the booklet in her hand, and then her eyes widened in astonishment.
Where is this scripture classics, poetry and songs, it turns out to be an account book.
I only heard Mu Tingdao: "I don't love these things, but my father said that this family will be handed over to me sooner or later, and if you can't read the account book, you will definitely be fooled by the people below." ”
Mu Qing pursed his lips, although he had only met once, he also estimated that this sister's temperament was the most gentle. Although Da Zhou is still male supremacy, he is not harsh on women, and there are not a few families where women are in charge. But Mu Ting doesn't look like such a strong woman no matter how she looks at it.
Mu Ting didn't know what Mu Qing was thinking, so she flipped through the account book in annoyance, and she was dizzy when she saw the strings of numbers on it, and she had the heart to throw it away, but when she thought of her father's expectations, she took it back and read it.
Ping'er saw that her young lady was so embarrassed, and she had the heart to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say.
Mu Qing looked at Mu Ting, then at the shelf over there, his mind changed sharply, and then he blinked, stretched out his finger and pointed to a passage in the account book: "Sister, this is a miscalculation, the profit from the sale and purchase of this cloth is not three thousand one hundred and twenty taels, but three thousand and twenty taels." ”
Mu Ting was stunned for a moment, and then looked down. She didn't like it so she didn't want to do it, but it didn't mean that she didn't understand, and her eyes widened in surprise at this sight.
Of course, the surprise is not that this account book was miscalculated, but that the little brother next to him can actually understand it, and he can calculate it correctly just by looking at it.
Mu Ting looked at Mu Qing's clear black and white eyes, and said with a smile: "My brother is really smart, so why don't you help my sister take a look?" ”
Mu Qing tilted his head pretending to be thoughtful, looking at the booklet, but his whole face was wrinkled, his pink mouth pursed, and he seemed to have made a very difficult decision, Fang said: "I want to help my sister, but ...... But this thing looks so boring. ”
It's because it's boring that I want to find someone to help. Mu Ting finally saw the hope, but he didn't want to slip away like this: "I will accompany my brother here, and I will come back in the future, okay." ”
"Hmm......" Mu Qing pursed his cheeks, looked left and right, stretched out and pointed to the bookshelf in the corner, "The paper on that shelf looks very interesting, can my sister lend it to me?" ”
"This ......," Mu Ting was a little embarrassed.
"I only read one chapter a day, and I promise to send it back the next day, and it will never break." Mu Qing saw that there was a door to this matter, so he made a loud guarantee, and at the end, he pulled Mu Ting's sleeve and shook it, "Sister, you can answer me." ”
Mu Ting looked at him and finally nodded. Although it was valuable, my father had never seen it, and my brother liked it, but she still instructed, "But you must remember not to break it or wrinkle it, otherwise you will not be allowed to take it in the future." ”
"Hmm!" Mu Qing nodded heavily, and the smile at this moment was extremely sincere.
Ping'er was a little uneasy, but was beaten a few words by Mu Ting, although she had a soft temperament, but in the end, it was everyone's young lady, Ping'er naturally didn't dare to talk much. And she has always known her young lady's temperament, and she has a talent for managing accounts, but she doesn't like it, so it's better to go with the flow than to force her tone, so she doesn't talk much. Naturally, Annu will not go out and talk nonsense, so that the master does not need him to steal again...... Well...... It's good to steal a book, and it's good to be scared.
Mu Ting spread out the paper on one side of the bookcase, as if to paint. Mu Qing took the account book and did it to the other side, and he didn't use paper and pen to check it, but he could see that something was wrong when he looked at it line by line.
Thinking about it, this account book is not true, but the question made by the master of the Mu family in order to train his daughter, the mistakes made in it are lower than the other, they are all basic addition and subtraction, and the number is no more than 10,000.
Mu Qing finished reading it in just half an hour, and circled the mistakes one by one, but he didn't speak, still pretending to look at the account book intently, in fact, his mind had already wandered.
If it is too easy to see by yourself, firstly, I am afraid that the edge will be too revealing and make Mu Ting suspicious, and secondly, it is also to invite credit. Looking at it so hard and so hard, Mu Ting naturally wanted to keep him a little good in his heart.
