Lan'er paused, then reached out to pick up the paper handed over by Xu An, and sighed in her heart, she didn't expect a countryman who grew up rolling in the mud to understand the rules so well. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stay in the Grange all day long, it's really condescending!

Peng Jin nodded with satisfaction, took the paper handed over by Lan'er, but did not open it, but put it aside, and asked Xu An: "How old are you this year?" What do you do on a daily basis? How many years have you been reading? How did you get this information......"

Stuff of stuff, a whole bunch of everyday questions.

Xu An arched his hand and replied: "The villain is sixteen years old this year. On weekdays, I follow my father and mother to work in the fields, and in my free time, I will find some small jobs to do to subsidize the family. I didn't go to school and read books, but I just squatted under the wall of the private school, eavesdropped on the books for two years, and recognized a few words with Mr. Zhang, the account office of the Grange.

Most of this news came from the daily complaints of the tenants of the Grange, and as for the valuables that Kong Zhuangtou had privately added to his house, they were all seen when the mischievous children went to his house to wreak havoc. After getting Sister Yunwu's orders last time, the villain deliberately led them to stare at them for a few days, and added a lot of news......"

Peng Jin saw that Xu An's speech was clear and focused, and he couldn't stop nodding.

Lan'er looked at Xu An twice, and was secretly surprised, it turned out that he was sixteen years old, but it looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, which showed that he had suffered a lot of hardships in life.

Just like herself, she is thirteen years old, but she will always be mistaken for only ten years old.

Lan'er couldn't help but feel a sense of concern.

When Xu An finished talking, Peng Jin smiled and asked, "You are the child king of the Grange?" ”

Xu An scratched his head embarrassedly and replied, "We grew up in one place, and they are all willing to play with villains." The villain is slightly older than them, eats a few more bowls of rice, and learns a few words, so they all recommend the villain to be the boss. ”

This is a little bit of a young youth.

Peng Jin smiled and asked again: "Are you familiar with Mr. Grange's bookkeeper?" How is he? ”

Mr. Ledger, who can make such a bad account book and let people with a heart see the problem at a glance, is either limited in ability or deliberate.

Xu An's face became solemn, and there was reverence in his expression that could not be ignored: "Mr. Zhang is good at learning, good at abacus, and is very kind to everyone in the grange. ”

Peng Jin nodded, it seems that this bookkeeper is loyal and reliable, smart and clever. It's a pity that when I met such a person like the original owner who didn't care about housekeeping, I hadn't thought about auditing the accounts in the past three years.

However, Mr. Zhang didn't have a good face for Kong Zhuangtou's family, and he looked respectful, but he actually despised them very much. Therefore, Kong Zhuangtou is not very good to Mr. Zhang. Last time, I heard that Kong Zhuangtou planned to replace Mr. Zhang, saying that Mr. Zhang's salary was too high! Xu An frowned and said, Mr. Zhang's salary is not paid by Kong Daxing, and I don't know what Kong Daxing is anxious about!

Peng Jin's heart moved and asked, "How do you know?" What did Mr. Zhang tell you? ”

Xu An shook his head and said with a sad face: "Once the villain asked Mr. Zhang a sentence in the Analects, and Mr. Zhang inadvertently revealed it when he commented. Later, when the villain asked again, Mr. Zhang refused to say. ”

"Oh?" Peng Jin became interested and asked, "Which sentence?" ”

Xu An replied: "It's a sentence from Zengzi - I am three times a day and I am self-conscious: I am not loyal to others? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? After Mr. Zhang explained, he sighed, saying that 'the Lord is not merciful, do you still need to be loyal'? The villain didn't understand, and asked Mr. Zhang what he meant, Mr. Zhang smiled, diverted the topic, and said no more. It's not good for the villain to ask again. ”

Peng Jin nodded, it seems that this bookkeeper is a bit of a backbone.

She remembered that before Mr. Bookkeeper was married to the original owner, her eldest brother Peng Yu personally found him, named Zhang Minghua, with bright words, and was a talented person. The ancestor had a few acres of fertile land, and his life was quite acceptable, until he raised the strength of the whole family for him to go to school and study, but after he showed his talent in the examination, it was difficult to make an inch. In the end, the family's land was also sold, and he failed to get a half-official position, and was reduced to being a tutor for others, or a bookkeeper or something to subsidize the family and support his wife and children, but he has always been neither humble nor arrogant, maintaining the style of a literati.

Peng Yu met Zhang Minghua by chance, and not only sympathized with his plight, but also admired his personality, so he hired him to Daxing Grange as a bookkeeper with a high salary, first, to help him, and secondly, to keep a reliable person by the original owner's side to help the original owner.

It's a pity that the original owner has always cared about money or anything, and naturally it was in vain Peng Yu's mind and Zhang Minghua's euphemistic reminder.

Now, Kong Daxing has never asked her as the master, and he wants to resign Zhang Minghua in vain!

In Peng Jin's opinion, Kong Daxing's suspicion that Zhang Minghua's salary is too high is fake, and it is true that he hates Zhang Minghua for not listening to him!

It's also difficult for Zhang Minghua, under Kong Daxing's strict guard, he can still remind her through the account books.

"If one day, let you be the head of Daxing Grange, do you think, can you do a good job?" Peng Jin suddenly asked, shocked that Lan'er and Xu An's eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief.

"I, I, I can't." Xu An was so excited that he even forgot the honorifics.

Peng Jin disagreed, and said with a smile: "Kong Daxing is twenty years old this year, but he has been a head of the village for almost five years. You say you can't do it, aren't you even as good as Kong Daxing? ”

Xu An hurriedly shook his head, he didn't admit that he was even more unbearable than Kong Daxing!

"If you are ambitious, you are not old, and Ganluo is not a prime minister at the age of twelve?" Peng Jin continued to convince him, "Besides, I don't want you to be the head of the village now." Although you have been with dirt crops since you were a child, and you are most familiar with farming, you may not have experience in managing farms. It takes time to learn from experience, and I dare to appoint you with real skills. ”

Xu An slowly calmed down in Peng Jin's words.

"Then now you say, are you willing to become the head of the village after completing your studies?" Peng Jin asked with a smile, looking patient.

Xu An pondered for a moment, nodded, knelt down and kowtowed, and was grateful: "Thank you, Third Grandma, for your kindness!" The villain must do his best to live up to the grace of the third grandmother's promotion and cultivation today! ”

The little maid guarding outside hurriedly came in to report: "Sister Yunwu, they are back!" ”

Peng Jin called out to Xu An, and said a few more words, asking Lan'er to lead Xu An out to pick up autumn pears and make a show. ，

Xu An solemnly bowed to Peng Jin and went out with Lan'er.

Peng Jin heard Zhang Dazhu ask Xu An outside: "You have come back!" I thought we were back early! I didn't see you all the way just now! ”

In his words, he seemed to be a little suspicious, and there was jealousy that could not be misunderstood.

After all, Kong Daxing sent Zhang Dazhu to come with him all the way, and his intentions were clear at a glance.

Peng Jin calmed down and listened to how Xu An responded.
