In addition to the urgency of the errand of the county government, Mei Xueyan's work and rest became regular, and the little second brother of the auspicious restaurant had the instructions of the shopkeeper, and took care of the No. 8 room of the earth, and asked her needs first when the stove had hot water, and the meal was a small stove opened by the master, and there were rough servants to help clean and dry the clothes, and even Mrs. Chen was idle.

Mei Xueyan personally went to pay a visit to Mrs. County Ling, she is a graceful and easy-going lady, she talks cordially, and Mei Xueyan hit it off at first sight, Mei Xueyan has been bored for more than ten years, she is not good at talking and communicating, and she is also affected by Mrs. County Ling.

The only regret is that Wu County Ling has sent someone to check the old files, and has not been able to find the record of the marriage contract of that year.

Mrs. County Ling persuaded Mei Xueyan, thinking that Mrs. Lin and the Lu family really don't necessarily have a so-called marriage contract, even if they really take it out, can they still force a large group of people to get on the sedan chair?

With the relief of Mrs. County Ling, Mei Xueyan gradually put the matter aside, the Lin Mansion is no different from an ordinary strange house to her, and Lin Sanlang is generally a passerby who will not have a chance to meet in the future.

Under the guidance of Mr. Zou, Mei Xueyan also knew what the main book was doing.

"Master Ma said that he is the bookkeeper of the county magistrate, and he is almost in charge of financial matters, especially in finance, which can be said to be in power."

Mr. Zou whispered to Mei Xueyan: "The land tax is under the control of the main book, but anyone who opens a shop, a restaurant, etc., must also apply to the main book, so the master of Ma is even more open than Master Xu, and the businessmen of the entire Lin'an County can envelop him, such a fat difference, it is no wonder that the previous master books were full of private pockets, even the master of Ma, just a year after taking office, bought a house on the main street!"

Mr. Zou and Mei Xueyan sat by the window and said these things while no one was there.

"Master Ma is so ......," Mei Xueyan asked in a low voice, "The county magistrate still handed over this important position to him?" ”

"Hey, who is an official these years doesn't make some money, the county magistrate of the Ma master book turns a blind eye, as long as there is no big mistake, he will go with him, after all, the county magistrate still has to give the Ma family some affection, you don't know that the Ma master is the cousin of the Ma family, right?"

Mei Xueyan shook her head lightly, she was still ambiguous about these things in her relationship, she only knew that Feng Qiumo had said that Wu County's order was honest and honest, but she had also learned to be left and right.

Mei Xueyan has never thought about these things in her life, she thinks about people too simply.

Mr. Zou also saw that she was not an accident, and warned a few words.

"On an errand under the master of the horse, I would rather offend the county magistrate than provoke him, we all call him bull head and horse face in private, he is narrow-minded and selfish, if he embarrasses you, you will endure it, if you make him unhappy, he will definitely retaliate."

Mei Xueyan was noncommittal, the king of Hades was easy to see that the little ghost was difficult, she abided by her duty, and she would not have nothing to do if she wanted to come to the master book.

"How much did you count the ledger you brought back yesterday? Come on, I'll do the math for you. Mr. Zou muttered, "These ledgers can't be counted by a few of us alone, you look at the master book, just leave it alone and throw it all to us, but let's do our best, just have a clear conscience." ”

It is a total of more than ten years of account cashiers, and there is a large stack of account books for a year, and they have to count for several days, and they still can't reconcile the accounts.

Master Ma simply didn't care about it, and now there is only half a month left, and he thinks it's impossible to finish it.

Mei Xueyan took out the new account book and said, "The year before last has been summarized, Old Zou, you can see if there is anything missing."

"Done?"

Mr. Zou was surprised, Mei Xueyan only counted the accounts of the previous year for one day, this speed is too fast, could it be that the accounts of the previous year were less? Or did she cut corners.

"Miss Mei, I didn't say you." Mr. Zou said earnestly, "You just came, you have to do things solidly, don't be hasty, we must be careful in this business, don't be in a hurry, you look at your accounts, too many mistakes and omissions are useless...... Well? ”

Mr. Zou took a closer look, and the account regulations were clear, and there were no discrepancies with the old account books, and even the errors in the old account books were marked.

"I remember, you got the account book of the year before last yesterday, right?"

Mr. Zou thought that his presbyopia was serious again, or that his memory was declining.

"yes, is there something wrong with that? I wasn't quite familiar with it yet, so it took me a whole day. ”

Mei Xueyan thought that she had made a mistake, or that she was learning to settle accounts for the first time, and the speed was too slow.

"No, no, no." Mr. Zou muttered, "It doesn't make sense, you only counted one day, how can you finish all the accounts of the whole year before last?" We veterans have to calculate a year's accounts alone, and it takes five or six days......"

Mr. Zou looked at her and almost pulled off his beard, as if he had met a ghost.

Is this something that the human brain can figure out? Or did she ask the Bodhisattva to worship the Buddha? Or did she invite the fox fairy, or is she just a female ghost at all?

Mei Xueyan thought about it, probably because of her use of arithmetic, Zou Lao and their abacus is fast, but it is easy to make mistakes and omissions, while Mei Xueyan's arithmetic is faster than them, and there will be no mistakes, and the calculation is mostly done by addition and subtraction, and most of her mental arithmetic can be completed.

"It's really strange...... "Mr. Zou asked, "have you studied arithmetic?" ”

If you hadn't studied arithmetic, how could you have such ability?

Mei Xueyan knew that arithmetic was not popular in Jingguo, because the practicality of arithmetic was not as good as poetry, and writing poetry was talented and famous to make money, and arithmetic was basically tied to businessmen, which was disdained by literati, so arithmetic had a low status. In addition, because arithmetic is profound and complicated, it is difficult for ordinary people to get started, so few literati learn it.

So much so that up to now, there are only some small schools in the capital that learn arithmetic, and there are only one or two arithmetic masters.

Mei Xueyan knew that she had to find a good reason for her skills, otherwise it would lead to suspicion and speculation, so she simply nodded and admitted.

"I once studied a fragment of a classic book, which seems to be what the old gentleman called arithmetic."

Mr. Zou patted his thigh and said suddenly: "Then it makes sense, it turns out that you are a disciple of the arithmetic school!" You have to keep the remnant of the book, arithmetic people rarely accept apprentices, and it will not be easily passed on, you are really lucky, you can get the remnant, we can't ask for it! ”

Only then did Mei Xueyan know that those arithmetic masters were also like craftsmen, and to put it mildly, they were inherited by small factions, and the point was that they were suspected of being behind closed doors.

"Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you, I originally thought that you had gone through the back door of the Wu County Order to become the deputy director, but I never thought that you were young, but you had such a ability!"

"Zou Lao is serious, only you treat me with pretense of color, and teach me patiently, I can only be grateful."
