Chapter 143: The Book of Accounts at Night
Hearing that Shen Lan was embarrassed, this kid would be hungry It turned out that he was looking for himself, but when he thought of catching him, Shen Lan knew that this kid was not a good stubble, and sure enough, he applied for that sentence, and the poor person must have something to hate.
Waving his hand to let Zhao Yuan leave, Shen Lan walked up to the kid again and said lightly: "I'll get you a rag and let someone prepare food for you, you are not allowed to scold anymore." ”
Shen Lan looked at the child's eyes fixedly, and the child also looked back at Shen Lan, so Shen Lan reached out and ripped off the rags.
"Stinky biaozi, if you have the ability, you will tie up your master for a lifetime, and you are really not afraid...... Woo woo...... "The child's hoarse voice scolded Shen Lan angrily, and Shen Lan had to re-gag his mouth and watched coldly.
Shen Lan felt that she was an idiot, and she really couldn't be sympathetic, since this child was dead, then don't blame her for being ruthless, she gave the opportunity, whether to accept it or not is someone else's business, so she turned around and left without looking back, and the child who was tied to the pillar looked proud, only after Shen Lan's figure disappeared completely, a little regret sprouted in her heart, but it was too late.
Shen Lan arrived in the lobby, beckoned Song Lian to come over, and when she left, she instructed the shopkeeper Xu to let the child go outside the town when it got dark, so that the child would not be sent outside the town, so as not to make trouble for the child again, as for the child's future affairs, Shen Lan didn't plan to care, Shen Lan is sympathetic, but compassion is to be used on people who are worthy of sympathy, not on people who are not worthy of sympathy, and she doesn't have the plot of the Holy Mother to slowly influence others.
When he returned home, Shen Lan began to prepare the account book, and told Lao Guo Tou to go to the grocery store to buy a knife of rice paper, a piece of ink and an inkstone to come back, while Lao Guo Tou went to buy paper and ink, Shen Lan re-taught Song Lian and Shen Wei Arabic numerals in the courtyard, after all, it is only ten numbers, the two children are not stupid, and they both have the heart to learn, so they quickly mastered the writing and reading of numbers, as for more esoteric things, Shen Lan is not ready to teach for the time being.
As the only literate Yan Niang stood in the corner of the wall with a stone at the beginning and looked at it with a smile, she didn't look down on Shen Lan's method, but she couldn't sell face, and it was not easy to say that her master was not good, but she didn't expect that the symbols of Shen Lan's religion were not only simple, but also easy to identify, although I didn't know if it was easy to use when settling accounts, but in this way, it was easier than Chinese characters, and it was clear at a glance to record it, not as dense as Chinese characters, which made people headaches, and Yan Niang still admired Shen Lan very much in this regard.
When Lao Guo Tou bought the paper back, Shen Lan asked Yan Niang to help cut the paper together, and the stone was stuffed into her baby chair, and the two little girls were still chattering there about numbers because of excitement, writing and drawing on the ground with branches, looking very happy.
Cut the paper to half the size of A4 paper, Shen Lan asked Yan Niang to borrow a ruler for cutting clothes, and then asked Yan Niang to find a few chicken tail feathers to come over, and he scooped a little water to grind the ink, and when Yan Niang took the tail feathers, Shen Lan took the ruler and began to draw a table on the paper, in a row at the top of the table, Shen Lan drew a scale, a copper coin, two copper coins and the sun, the first row of the first column was empty, and from the first column of the second row, the rice ears, buckwheat leaves, black beans, soybeans and other patterns were drawn in turn, and the Yan Niang on the side frowned, my own master worked hard to cut the paper, so do you make these useless things?
After the first picture was drawn, Shen Lan instructed Yan Niang to make similar forms of other papers in her own way, but Yan Niang was a little reluctant to scribble on such a good white paper, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, what are you doing with these useless things?" It's a waste of things, and this paper and ink are very expensive. ”
"Why is it useless, this is the ledger I want." Being slandered as a useless thing, Shen Lan couldn't help but feel a little angry, so she replied in a loud voice.
"Ledger?" Does her master think that she has never seen an account book, and such a thing can be called an account book?
Looking at Yan Niang with a look of disbelief, Shen Lan didn't want to explain more, so she said: "Anyway, you draw according to this table, but you have left the first column blank for me, and the row above your head can't be drawn wrong, you know?" ”
Yan Niang also wanted to persuade Shen Lan not to waste things, if the master really wanted to learn to write, don't waste such a good white paper, but in the face of Shen Lan's undoubted gaze, Yan Niang finally swallowed the words of persuasion in the afternoon, although her master is kind on weekdays, but she can't cross her humility, since the master asked her to do it, she will do it, if she can't use it in the end, it's no wonder she.
Yan Niang didn't use chicken feathers to write, after all, she was used to using a brush, and she was definitely not suitable for changing it to chicken feathers, and it was a loss that Lao Guo Tou bought all the four treasures of the study, or Yan Niang didn't have a pen to write, according to Shen Lan's request, Yan Niang began to draw on paper.
Shen Lan took the sample in her hand to find Song Lian, and then carefully taught Shen Lan to use what she had in her hand, Song Lian also really wanted to learn, so she carefully said Shen Lan's words and wrote them down word for word, and Shen Wei, who was eager to try, also listened carefully, and Shen Lan didn't say anything, just let her go.
In this way, when she was busy until the evening, an account book had not yet been completed, seeing that it was not early, Yan Niang put down her work and went to cook in the stove, Shen Lan continued to make the form, and when dinner was over, Shen Lan and Yan Niang let a few children sleep first, and she and Yan Niang continued to do it, after all, this account book must be made before tomorrow, or let Song Lian take something back.
It was not until the middle of the night that all the forms were finally done, Shen Lan asked Yan Niang if she could bind, Yan Niang nodded, and then found the thick needles and cables for the shoes, and sewed up a thick stack of paper, Shen Lan disliked a piece of paper that was too thin, so she used rice grains to glue several pieces of paper together to make a cover, wrapped the cover to the outside of the account book, and then asked Yan Niang to write three words in the account book, which was also decent.
However, Yan Niang always felt that her master was working for nothing, how could such a thing be regarded as an account book, but who made her master and she a slave? So he sighed, went back to his room, washed and slept.
The next day, Shen Lan packed Song Lian and the finished account book and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she bought before and brought them to the shop, and when she arrived at the shop, the shopkeeper Xu told Shen Lan that she had sent the child out of Yuan's family, but she still told Shen Lan to be careful when she usually did something, so as to avoid encountering homeless people looking for trouble.
Shen Lan naturally accepted the kindness of the shopkeeper Xu, and after thanking him, he sat in the shop and waited for the people sent by Yuan Tian to come over, just after Yuan Tian actually brought someone over, Shen Lan was still a little surprised, and hurriedly asked people to prepare tea to entertain him, Yuan Tian sat down unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "You girl is very good at doing things, and she helped me get more than 100 stones of food so quickly, but I underestimated you." ”
"Brother Yuan smiled, this was still hoarded before, and the eldest brother took it to solve my ** annoyance." Shen Lan said politely.
Yuan Hao smiled when he heard this, he didn't say anything, just picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, but for Shen Lan, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and he suddenly felt that this girl was worth befriending.
After drinking a cup of tea, Shen Lan proposed to go to get grain, Yuan Tian naturally would not object, so the group went out of Shiweixuan and rode on the horse, there are several carts behind these horses, although they are also horse-drawn, but they are not horse-drawn carriages, but the same carts as ox carts, there is a coachman on the cart, Shen Lan and Song Lian got into their own carriage, and it was still Pan Qingping who drove the carriage, Pan Qingping drove the carriage back when he went back last night, and now he drove the carriage down the mountain with the horse team and the convoy, just so that Shen Lan and Song Lian can ride.
A group of people walked in the direction of Songjia Village after leaving Yuanjiaji, and a fence was also set up outside Yuanjiaji to prevent more displaced people from entering the town, so many displaced people gathered outside the town, some planned to rest here and continue to go south, and some set up shacks, looking ready to stay for a long time, no matter what, there are still a lot of people.
Shen Lan and the others, with a tall horse in front and a convoy behind, were somewhat eye-catching, but no one dared to approach, because the people brought out by Yuan Tian were not unarmed, especially those who rode horses with bright knives pinned to their waists, and some of them also had longbows on their shoulders, so they were not easy to mess with.
When Yuan Tian and the others came to Songjia Village, the people who were originally guarding the village couldn't help but get nervous, and they dared to stop them, and asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" Why did you come to our Songjia Village? ”
Yuan Tian raised his hand to signal stop, and the people behind him also stopped, grabbed the reins, and Yuan Tian said without malice: "You are from Songjia Village, I am Yuan Tian, I didn't come to your village today to make trouble, just to get a sum of grain and grass purchased by others." ”
Hearing the familiar accent, the two people were obviously relieved, but when they heard the word Yuan Tian, their faces tensed again, and later they heard that they were here to pick up something, so they finally breathed a sigh of relief again.
"I don't know who the big boss entrusted to buy grain and grass?" The man asked boldly.
"It's Shen Lan's lady." Yuan Tian replied.
Shen Lan? Isn't that Song Tianxiang's wife? Speaking of which, isn't her son's godmother a member of Black Tiger Village? So it is only natural for Shen Lan to help the Black Tiger Village collect grain, so thinking about it, the two of them looked at each other, and then silently retreated to make way for others, Yuan Tian smiled at them, and then led the team of people into the village, and then went straight to the old house of Shen Lan's family, and the two people who were ordered to guard the village looked at the long line and indeed went towards Shen Lan's house, so they breathed a heavy sigh, they really didn't come to rob.
