There was also a light snowfall at the beginning of April, but the weather was gradually warming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info After the beginning of April, the glacier melted and thawed, and the weather gradually warmed up. It seems that spring has come in the blink of an eye, and the mountains and rivers have suddenly turned from snowy to green.

And this time is also the time when the spring ploughing in Yuyan begins to be busy. For the Fu family's big house, it is obviously impossible for them to plant their own seventy acres of land by themselves.

For this reason, Fu Jingheng could only go to the nearby village to spend money to hire short-term workers to help with farming. When Li Yao and his party came here last year, they didn't think about hiring people.

One is because they have just arrived, and they do not have enough money in their hands; The second reason is that because the villages are not close, the military outcasts do not have much contact with the villagers, and they are not familiar with the villagers.

When rushing to farm, the Fu family first planted the superior fields in the 70 acres of land, and then planted other medium fields and inferior fields in turn.

During this time, Li Yao was busy, because she also had to cook for the short-term workers hired by the Fu family. After that, the Fu family began to build houses again, just like in a war. In this way, Li Yao still has to cook for the house builder, and she is still busy. By the time the Fu family finished building the house, April was almost over.

At this time, the case of the Shilin officials and military generals seeking power for personal gain had entered the final stage, and the holy decree of the tribal chief of Narisong was also issued on the fifth day of the first month. Prior to this, the envoy of Beiliang went to Yanjing with the tribute of the ministers, with the purpose of negotiating the opening of Shilin Border City......

The afternoon sun was just right, Fu Jingheng was busy with farming and building a house, and now he was resting at home for two days, he took his mother Da Gu to the yard to sit on a chair and bask in the sun.

Old Lady Fu and Fu Jingyu were also outside to accompany the Da Gu family. Fu Jingjue sat in a sedan chair (ancient stroller), kicking his legs one by one, and pulling a lamb rag doll made of cloth in his hand, which was filled with soft wool.

This lamb was made for him by Li Yao according to a certain sheep mold in later generations. The toy tiger he made for him at the beginning, he had already played with the tiger's eyes and tail, and had torn off one of his legs.

Now Li Yao lives with Mrs. Fu, and the two of them live in a newly built room with an inner and outer rooms, and a window in the outer room is arranged by Li Yao to look like a study. In a room like this, the Fu family built a total of five rooms and brought two kitchens.

These houses were built in front of and on both sides of the old houses. And the old house is like a courtyard divided into two entrances. The old house is still inhabited today, but it will be rebuilt in the future. After all, this old house also occupies a good position to sit north and face south. In this way, Fu Jingheng has his own special room, and the juniors of the Fu family can also live in it.

Because of Fu Jingheng's marriage, hiring people and building a house for the Fu family, the fifty taels of silver in the Fu family's big house were spent. Fortunately, the weather was warm later, and Fu Jingchen was no longer as sick as he was in winter. And Fu Jingheng has also been collecting medicinal materials to sell, and Narisong recently received fungus again. So his family is not short of silver, but a little tight.

Fu Jingheng still owed Li Yao the silver, and he still couldn't pay it back for a while. Later, he still apologized to Li Yao embarrassedly. Li Yao doesn't care anymore, anyway, without this debt, her business can still be turned.

"I didn't notice it at first, but after reading it for a long time, I think the symbols you wrote are very regular, much simpler than the Chinese characters we usually write, is this called simplifying?"

Some of the things she saw in her so-called books seemed to be a bit of a mystery, and if it weren't for the frequent contact between the two after marriage, he suspected that her wife was not the one he had known before. She always gives a sense of novelty.

Because Uncle Ma was literate and had also worked as a steward, he recommended himself to take over the shopkeeper work of our restaurant. Li Yao is accounting for our family's accounts, and there is a specially bound account book on the table next to her. Now she only gives guidance and management advice, and she doesn't have to go to the restaurant often. However, she still has to check the accounts here clearly between public and private, so that she can also know the operation of the restaurant.

"When did you come in? You can see what my symbols have a pattern and what they represent! Li Yao lay on the desk and wrote down the total count intently, then looked up and asked Fu Jingheng. She didn't know when he came into the house, or how long he had been standing here, so she asked.

These Arabic numerals, she told others that she had come up with specific symbols because she was illiterate, and others did not think much about them. But Fu Jingheng, he likes to get to the bottom of it, and she basically can't take his seriousness.

"Well, see a little pattern...... And your form is also very interesting. How much is received and how much is spent in each day, this table is very clear. If you only look at your symbols, I can't see anything, but Uncle Ma wrote words in the table, look at what he wrote, and finally calculate a total, and then compare your tables, you can see that your symbols are regular. These four tables are calculated once every seven days, right? If I'm not mistaken, you're holding a summary of these four tables. ”

"You've been standing here since I started the accounts?"

"Hmm...... It's almost, seeing that you do things seriously, I don't want to disturb you, so I watched it for a while. I didn't look at your accounts, but I was curious about these symbols, so I couldn't help but itch my hands to calculate the number of accounts for a month, do you mind if I look through your accounts? ”

"Of course......" Li Yao of course dragged on in a long tone, which made Fu Jingheng embarrassed, and he was about to apologize, but she quickly continued: "Of course I don't mind!" But Ah Heng, I just want to say that you are so patient! ”

She finally touched her forehead and said helplessly. She wondered what else the curious gentleman was going to do next. Just like the woolen sweater and woolen pants, this gentleman has been studying for a long time.

Seeing her in such a mood, Fu Jingheng couldn't help but ask with a good temper: "Since you don't mind, why do you look like this?" …… Or am I not right about the meaning and law that these symbols represent? Well...... I wondered, can you teach me the rules of these symbols, so that it will be much easier for me to organize and classify the herbs in the future? ”

"I wanted my grandfather and brother to learn about it, but they weren't interested in it. My brother also said that I have to teach people all this little trick, isn't this a joke! ”

When it comes to her brother's arrogance, Li Yao is still a little depressed and angry. Where is her trick, she is a scientific count! It's just that she used the excuse of being illiterate that she wanted her grandfather and brother to learn Arabic counting with her, so that it would be more convenient for them to do statistical work in the future, but the two ridiculed her for not being able to read and urged her to read more.

"Well, but I think the tables and symbols are very concise and clear. The brother-in-law probably hasn't realized the benefits of this yet. Fu Jingheng seemed to be determined to learn, he took out the summary table in Li Yao's hand and looked at it carefully.

When he looked at the summary table with interest, he also said with a helpless tone: "Why are all the words on your head typo?" Are you too lazy to deliberately write these words with fewer strokes, or do you not know how to write these words at all? I also turned over your previous account book, and your typo was repeated again and again, but it was also written quite regularly. Are you doing it wrong? ”

“……”

"I think it's wrong to learn these symbols from you? And is it better for you to follow me to learn calligraphy for a while? I don't expect you to learn calligraphy, but you must at least be literate and not make any more mistakes. ”

“……”

"I don't think so...... You learn the word for the hour with me every day, and then I learn these symbols with you. If I end up learning these symbols and it's useless, then I'll take more time to teach you literacy during this time. ”

“……”

Once again regarded as illiterate, once again urged to read and learn words, Li Yao was speechless and asked Qingtian for his sluggishness.

She was like this, which made Fu Jingheng look puzzled, he took the summary table and shook it slightly in front of her eyes, recalling her attention: "A-Yao, what are you doing in a daze...... Did you hear what I said? "Although it will not teach her to be a talented woman, at least teach her to read and not make mistakes. She is from a scholarly family, but she still often makes mistakes, which will only make people who see her words laugh at her.

As soon as she mentioned letting her re-read and write, Li Yao didn't want to face this topic, she took out two pieces of paper from under the teacup next to the account book, handed them to Fu Jingheng, changed the topic and asked him: "Well, I just wanted to show you this, how about you take a look at this?"
