Collecting and flowers is the greatest encouragement for the brothers! Yun Ming would like to thank all the brothers in advance! ）

In fact, Shang Yu's book was indeed brought back to Zhouzhuang by Shen Fu, but Shen Fu, Zhang Shicheng, and Lu Zhong traveled hundreds of miles from Quanzhou Mansion to remember this incident, because the girl who cherished flowers with him made him forget everything for a while.

Three days later, Shen Fu arrived at the boundary of the official road to Taizhou and Zhouzhuang, broke up with Zhang Shicheng, and returned to Zhouzhuang with cherished flowers.

The people of Quanzhou Mansion have recently felt that life is much more comfortable, the officers and soldiers in the city are no longer as vicious as before, as if they have returned to the prosperous situation of a few years ago, the number of Fanbang ships docked at the port of Thornton is increasing day by day, and the number of merchants from all over the Central Plains is also much more than in the past, which makes the people full of hope for the future.

After this big exam, in addition to going to the Dadu Golden Palace for interviews, those who have excellent results in the Quanzhou big examination will also be selected by Xianglaner County to be sent to Quanzhou Prefecture and the county to work.

It's just that a few days ago, Zeng Ziyi had just been a foreign envoy for a day, and he was killed by two gangsters when he went to the third lane of the alley at night, and the two gangsters were beheaded in public at three o'clock in the afternoon in front of Jingyang Gate two days ago, which also greatly reduced the interest of the students in the city to go to the third alley, and some students with a little money even went to the eighteen dart bureaus in the city to hire a dart master to protect their own safety.

Half a month later, Shang Yu's injuries were basically healed, but due to excessive blood loss some time ago, his body bones were still a little weak, but it didn't delay his walking and living.

Just now, he was called by Lu Weixuan, the head of the Lu family, and after complimenting him, he gave him a waist card for the housekeeper in the house, and ordered Lu Fu, the housekeeper, to get him the clothes of the new land steward to change into, and then ordered him to leave with Lu Fu.

Shang Yu, who was dressed in a new style, felt in a good mood, and walked behind Lu Fu to the courtyard where the purchasing steward was in charge, and asked Lu Cai, "Steward Lu, how is the second young lady after the last incident?" Was you overly frightened? ”

"Huh! You slave still has a heart, and you are still thinking about your master. I've told you that the second lady was grounded for a month by the master because of this matter this time, and of course she was still locked in the room. If you hadn't saved the second miss, you wouldn't have become a steward at such a young age. But you must remember that you must not mention the accident of the second lady to anyone again, otherwise you will be kicked out of the house immediately, do you understand? Seeing Shang Yu asking about Lu Wan, Lu Fu couldn't help but tell him again.

"Oh! I understand. Shang Yu immediately replied, as a subordinate of the Lu Mansion, even at the level of steward, he couldn't always care too much about the second lady Lu Wan who was in the boudoir, so he didn't want to mention this matter anymore after he asked.

"Although the work of purchasing and managing the housekeeper is not heavy, all the items in the house must be arranged by your hands, including food and daily life, and you will be fully responsible for any problems. In front of you is your butler's room, and I will ask a few of the people who bought the house to wait in front of the door in the morning! You see, they are waiting for you. Lu Fu walked into the side courtyard with Shang Yu as he spoke, and motioned for Shang Yu to look forward.

Shang Yu looked up, and saw six or seven family members ranging in age from ten to thirty years old waiting in front of the door of the steward's room, these people were all looking at Shang Yu, the underage steward, with squinting eyes, and intuitively felt that the old man seemed to be crazy, otherwise how could he hand over the position of purchasing steward to such a child.

In fact, Shang Yu is not short, and he is only half a head tall from an adult, but the childish look on his face will always make people despise.

"You all listen to me, this is the steward of the newly appointed land buyer appointed by the master! You still haven't seen the rudeness? Ruffo said with a dignified look at the people waiting at the door.

Hearing Lu Fu say this, these family members bent down slightly and reluctantly saluted Shang Yu, and said in unison: "I've seen Shang Steward!" ”

Where has Shang Yu been so respected, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "You brothers don't have to be polite, you need a lot of help in the future to get things done!" When talking to Shang Yu, he still understood that when he was working in the warehouse, the steward was very kind, and he learned the steward's tone to the fullest.

"Okay, business manager, let me introduce you, this is the former purchasing steward Lu Cai, and after he hands over to you today, he will go to the front yard protocol room to serve, and you will do a good job of stewardship in the future, I will still serve the master, so I will not accompany you!" Lu Fu said, and motioned with his eyes to Lu Cai to lead Shang Yu to go in and start the handover.

Shang Yu arched his hand at this time and said with a smile: "Then Shang Yu is here to send off the housekeeper!" ”

Lu Fu smiled secretly in his heart: "The fourteen-year-old little scholar has only been a junior apprentice in the business for a few days, and when he becomes a steward, he will definitely be in a hurry, and then Ah Cai will have to be transferred back, master!" It's a bit of a joke for you to put him in charge this time! ”

But he said: "Don't dare! As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Shang Yu and turned to leave.

Shang Yu looked at his predecessor Lu Cai, and he smiled and said, "Lu is in charge!" Let the brothers go about their business as usual, and we'll go into the room now and start handing over the accounts! As he spoke, Shang Yu walked inside.

Lu Cai originally looked down on Shang Yu at all, after hearing the words "handover accounts", he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, just from these four words, he felt that Shang Yu was different, at a young age like him, being a steward should have shown a high-spirited and invincible appearance, but he did not have the slightest arrogance, but immediately wanted to look at the accounts, which is not like the appearance of ordinary people at all.

It wasn't until Shang Yu had already entered the door of the steward's room and looked back at him with some surprise that he reacted and said with a smile: "Steward Shang, I'll be here soon!" ”

Turning his head, he whispered to several family members standing beside him: "Did you hear the words of the business manager, why don't you go to the warehouse and distribute the items you bought yesterday to each room?" Once you're done distributing, come back here and be on standby! With that, he walked into the room.

The family members immediately nodded and left.

After Shang Yu entered the steward's room, he spent half an hour reading the purchase accounts of the last few months, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart: "These accounts are confused, there is no matching number between entry and exit, and the sources and origins of the purchased items are also varied, and the items that are not conducive to long-term storage are purchased so much, it is really unreasonable." ”

Lu Cai saw that Shang Yu had been shaking his head from behind the table, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Business manager!" Why are you shaking your head? ”

Shang Yu raised his head, stared at Lu Cai, and then said, "Manager Lu, have you always done this account yourself?" ”

"Of course, these accounts have always been made by my own hands, and they are usually locked in the cabinet behind you, and these accounts are very clear! But why are you shaking your head? Lu Cai still asked.

"Steward Lu, your accounts are in a mess! The general ledger and the sub-ledger are not clear, I need to sort it out, it will take about two hours to sort it out, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it! Shang Yu said with a slight frown.

Lu Cai's heart jumped at that time, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that this kid surnamed Shang saw that I had done something inside when he was looking at the accounts?" ”

"This handover requires your signature and fingerprint, so that I can hand over the transfer letter to the butler for filing, and then I can go to the front yard protocol to take up a job, I think I'm still waiting for you here!" Lu Cai's heart became more and more unfathomable to this fourteen-year-old young steward.

Buying a house has always been used to calculate and record the accounts by the method of tofu accounts, Lu Cai has always done this, and his predecessor did the same, because the people who can read and hyphenate are very good, there are few people who know how to do the art and are good at accounts, Lu Fu's housekeeper is not very proficient in managing accounts, all accounts have to be handed over to Lu Shaobei of the business every month to sort out the warehouse, and now Shang Yu, the child steward, actually has the ability to take accounts, which makes him feel very incredible.

"Good! If you're willing to wait, you're in good hands! Shang Yu saw that Lu Fu insisted on not leaving, so he could only helplessly let him stay here.

Shang Yu took out the thick account books from the cabinet behind him one by one, which couldn't help but startle Lu Cai.

"Business steward, what are you going to do...... What to do? That's all the accounts I've been in charge of for three years, so you're not going to take stock of them all, are you? Lu Cai said a little dumbfounded.

"Exactly, otherwise I wouldn't have needed two hours!" Shang Yu replied with a smile, and took out a dozen or so new blank account books from the cabinet.

Lu Fu suddenly felt a strong jealousy in his heart, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this kid really knows how to settle accounts?" And it only takes two hours to calculate the accounts that I have accumulated for three years? If what he said is true, then let him continue to stay in the mansion, not only will I lose the position of buying a house, but even the status of the eldest brother's housekeeper will be affected. ”

"He was only fourteen years old and became a purchasing manager, if it was a few more years, wouldn't the eldest brother give him the position of housekeeper? Then as the descendants of the Lu family with a high status for several generations, won't we completely lose power? Thinking of this, Lu Cai began to think about it on the side.

But when he saw the speed and method of Shang Yu's accounting, he was stunned again.

I saw that Shang Yu quickly divided all the accounts into three parts according to the year, and arranged them in order according to the month, and then picked up the account book of one of the years and calculated it quickly, and Shang Yu completely abandoned the abacus on the table, but every time he turned the page, he kept shaking his hand in the void, bringing up a virtual shadow, and his right hand picked up the pen and dipped it in ink and began to write quickly on the new account book.

"What is he doing here? Do I have eyes? He doesn't even use an abacus, is he doing accounts, or is he writing something nonsense? Lu Cai couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes to look at Shang Yu again.

I saw that Shang Yu took an account book again after a short time. Still as he had just done, turning the pages with one hand and shaking in the void, and writing quickly with the other, it was not long before the first year's account book was half gone.

"This kid is definitely writing nonsense, it seems that my estimation of him is a little too high, no one in this world can count accounts like him, not even an abacus, it's just laughable!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Lu Cai turned his face to look, and immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Lu! You're here, little Lu Cai is a gift to you! ”

Hearing Lu Caidi's words, Shang Yu raised his head and looked over, and suddenly said in surprise: "Mr. Lu, why are you here?" ”

"Huh! Xiao Yu, I know that you are in charge on the first day today, and your mother is also very concerned about you in the inn, this purchase is like the epitome of everything in the business, it seems simple, but in fact it is not easy, so I came to take a look! Lu Shaobei looked at Shang Yu with a smile and said.

"Mr. Lu, I want to quickly check and sort out these old accounts before I can hand over to Steward Lu, please sit down for a while, I can't talk to you!" Shang Yu said to Lu Shaobei apologetically, Lu Shaobei is like his second teacher, the terminology in the business and the business methods of merchants in various places are taught to him by Lu Shaobei, and Shang Yu naturally respects Lu Shaobei.

"It's okay! I'll see you do the accounts first, and I'll go to meet the master later! You don't have to stop. Lu Shaobei looked at Shang Yu approvingly and said, in his mind, Shang Yu and Xiaosi are both people who can make achievements in business business in the future, especially Shang Yu, as if he was born with a special talent for business, Lu Shaobei saw that Shang Yu attached so much importance to the work at hand, and naturally felt very pleased.

"Then I'll continue, sir!" Shang Yu saw that Lu Shaobei understood him so well, so he buried his head again and began to take inventory.

When Lu Shaobei saw the afterimage of Shang Yu's left hand shaking in the void, and his right hand kept writing in the account book, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.

He immediately turned his face to Lu Cai and said, "Manager Lu, you retreat outside first, I have something to say to the business manager!" There was an unconcealable joy in his voice.

Lu Cai was stunned for a moment, but then he saluted Lu Shaobei, and then retreated, but he seemed to see something unusual from Lu Shaobei's expression, and after going out, he hid at the door, wanting to hear what the two were saying.

I only heard Lu Shaobei say: "Xiao Yu! Stop, where did you learn this strange method of calculation without an abacus? The words were full of wonder.
