Chapter 2: Yang Mansion Settled
When he came to Chang'an City, Wang Xinhao found that he was penniless, and it was a problem to stay or eat.
In desperation, he had to hold the mentality of giving it a try and then found a way to survive in the city.
After walking for a while, he suddenly noticed that many Confucian scholars had gathered outside a mansion.
Curious, he came to the end and asked one of the Confucian scholars, "What are you doing here, brother?" Why are so many people gathered? ”
"Don't you know? Mr. Yang's Mansion is in the accounting room, and everyone rushed here after hearing the news. ”
"Which Yang Mansion?"
"Yang Mansion doesn't know? Hongnong Yang's. ”
Hearing the Hongnong Yang family, Wang Xinhao reacted, and thought: "The Hongnong Yang family is a famous family in the late Han Dynasty, and it is the same wealthy family as the Yuan family in Runan. ’
Thinking of this, Wang Xinhao thanked the Confucian student, and then joined the queue.
After a while, it was Wang Xinhao's turn.
The housekeeper of the Yang Mansion who was guarding the door saw Wang Xinhao walking forward and immediately asked, "Name." ”
"Wang Xinhao."
"What is the surname of the king, there is no need to say the words."
Hearing this, Wang Xinhao remembered that most of the names of the Han Dynasty were two-word.
Seeing Wang Xinhao stunned, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion asked again: "Don't you know what your name is?" We will not summon such a person of unknown origin. ”
"Late-born Wang Kaizi Xinhao."
After registering Wang Xinhao's name, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said, "Okay, you go in and participate in the assessment!" ”
"Thank you!" After speaking, Wang Xinhao entered the Yang Mansion.
At this time, a small guy led Wang Xinhao to the assessment location of the first level.
I saw an old man sitting at a table with an abacus.
Seeing that the little guy brought Wang Xinhao over, the old man immediately said loudly: "Can the person who comes know abacus?" If not, leave on your own! ”
"Old man, you will be able to abacus in your later life, please ask the question!"
Hearing Wang Xinhao's answer, the old man suddenly became interested, because basically none of the Confucian students who applied for the previous recruitment knew abacus, and he didn't have much to ask.
finally met a abacus master, and the old man immediately smiled and took the test for the school.
After listening to the old man's question, Wang Xinhao immediately began mental arithmetic.
Soon, he told the old man the answer.
The old man looked at him in shock after hearing Wang Xinhao's answer, because Wang Xinhao's answer was very correct and took a very short time.
Wang Xinhao saw that the old man had been staring at him, but he didn't say whether he had ever been, so he immediately asked: "Old man, is the answer of the late birth wrong?" ”
Hearing Wang Xinhao's inquiry, the old man came to his senses and replied: "Your answer is completely correct, I don't know how you calculated?" ”
"It's ......."
Seeing that Wang Xinhao was about to stop talking, the old man reacted and said, "It's old and abrupt, you can enter the next level." ”
"Thank you, sir."
In this way, the old man in the first level asked the little guy to take Wang Xinhao to the second level.
In this level, Wang Xinhao also quickly read out the correct answer, and then was sent to the third level.
At the last level, Wang Xinhao quickly read out the correct answer, because the content of the assessment is some basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which is not a problem for him who is highly educated.
As Wang Xinhao passed three levels in a row, he was also recruited by the Yang Mansion and officially became the bookkeeper of the Yang Mansion.
After that, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion also announced the success of the recruitment at the gate and dispersed the Confucian students who were still queuing.
Although those Confucian scholars who failed to get the opportunity to enter the Yang Mansion were reluctant, they could only leave helplessly, after all, the Hongnong Yang family was a super wealthy family, and they couldn't afford to provoke it at all.
Back to Wang Xinhao, after he successfully passed the assessment of the three old bookkeepers, the three old bookkeepers all gathered around him to ask for warmth, because the three of them had a strong interest in Wang Xinhao's computing ability.
In the face of the enthusiastic three old bookkeepers, Wang Xinhao was a little at a loss, because he didn't know how to answer the questions of the three old bookkeepers, and he couldn't tell the three old men that he had crossed over.
Just when Wang Xinhao was a little overwhelmed, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion came in.
Seeing three old bookkeepers surrounding Wang Xinhao, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said loudly: "Old man, what are you doing?" ”
When the three old bookkeepers saw the housekeeper coming in, they immediately dispersed from Wang Xinhao's side, and then the old man in the lead replied: "Steward Yang, we want to discuss arithmetic with this new bookkeeper. ”
"What a noisy and noisy thing! This is the Yang Mansion, you are all the old people of the Yang Mansion, this rule will not be forgotten, you will disperse first, and you will have time to discuss it in the future. ”
After hearing this, the three old bookkeepers immediately agreed to come down and then retired.
When only the housekeeper and Wang Xinhao were left in the house, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said to Wang Xinhao: "Wang Kai, you will be regarded as a member of our Yang Mansion in the future, in the first few days, you will follow a few old account rooms to familiarize yourself with the process and rules of doing things, and when you are familiar with it, start doing things immediately, no problem!" ”
"No problem."
"Okay, you come with me first, and I'll arrange a place for you to live."
In this way, Wang Xinhao followed the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion for a while.
After a while, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion took Wang Xinhao to a residence.
Pushing open the door, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said to Wang Xinhao: "This is your residence." ”
"Thank you, Steward Yang."
"You live first, and then I will arrange for the old account room to teach you, and when you learn, I will arrange for you to go out."
In this way, Wang Xinhao temporarily settled down in the Yang Mansion.
In the next few days, Wang Xinhao began to learn to manage accounts with the old bookkeepers, because he had a solid foundation and soon became a teacher.
Seeing that Wang Xinhao was already able to stand alone, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion immediately summoned Wang Xinhao and asked him to serve as the shopkeeper in the restaurant controlled by the Yang Mansion in Chang'an City.
After being appointed as a housekeeper, Wang Xinhao immediately packed his luggage and headed towards his destination.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wang Xinhao immediately showed his identity certificate.
When the acting shopkeeper saw that Yang Fu had sent someone to take over the restaurant, he immediately respectfully took Wang Xinhao to start familiarizing himself with the things in the restaurant.
After walking around with the acting shopkeeper, Wang Xinhao immediately said to the acting shopkeeper: "I probably already know about it, and tomorrow you will officially transfer the matter in your hands to me." ”
"No problem, shopkeeper."
After getting the reply from the acting shopkeeper, Wang Xinhao continued: "You go and get busy first!" I'll spin around on my own. ”
"Shopkeeper, then if you go around by yourself, I won't accompany you, and I will have to handle the transfer of things."
replied that there was no problem, and Wang Xinhao wandered around alone.
