Wang Ye stood up abruptly and asked a little nervously: "Then has the silver of my Wang family's rice shop been missing for the past six years, has the virtuous nephew calculated it?" ”

"It's nature." Zhao Yan glanced at the numbers on the paper and said: "In the past six years, there is no problem with the account books of the first three years, from the year before the year to last year, the Wangjia rice shop has a total of 2,868 taels of silver missing. ”

Wang Ye smiled with satisfaction and said to Zhao Yan: "If you are asked to find out the silver that has disappeared in the account book, I wonder if the virtuous nephew can do it?" ”

"Again, take last year as an example. In February last year, the Li family in Nanzhuang, the state city, transferred 229 stone of rice grain into storage. Look at it again, in March last year, the Li family in Nanzhuang, the state city, took away more than 500 taels of rice and grain from the previous month, but the money was correct but there was no exact amount. In the same month, the Li family once again transferred 300 and 8 stones of rice and grain into storage. May ......"

Zhao Yan pointed out the problematic entries one by one, and several bookkeepers consciously began to write records, and several of them looked at Zhao Yan with more and more surprise and awe.

After a stick of incense, Wang Ye held the 'evidence' recorded by the bookkeepers and checked them one by one, and sighed faintly after a while: "The old man treats him well, but I didn't expect him to embezzle nearly three thousand taels of silver from the old man." ”

After sighing, Wang Ye put the 'evidence' on the table and said with a smile: "The old man has a reluctant request, I want to ask the virtuous nephew to accompany the old man to Nanzhuang tomorrow, I wonder if the virtuous nephew is free?" ”

Zhao Yan knew that Wang Dahu wanted to ask himself to make a proof, so he nodded happily and agreed, and then he saw that it was not early, so he wanted to say goodbye and go back, he had not told Zhao Xin the news of winning the first place in the county exam, and he didn't know how happy this cheap dad would be when he learned the news.

"Zhao Gongzi, please stay." A fifty-year-old bookkeeper came out of the crowd, stopped Zhao Yan and arched his hand and said: "Zhao Gongzi, the little old man Tang Yun, since he was a child, he has been familiar with the arithmetic books such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Sun Tzu Suth", "Zhang Qiujian Suthmetic", etc., and has a little experience in arithmetic, but the method used by Gongzi in calculus today is unheard of. The little old man was shy and wanted to ask the son to solve the doubts for the little old man, and hoped that the son would not refuse. ”

Zhao Yan turned his head to look at Wang Ye, and saw that there was also an inquisitive look in his eyes, so he briefly introduced: "What the kid wrote on the paper is Allah...... It is a big food number, also known as the heavenly number, from one to ten respectively and my Han family characters are similar, but the strokes are simple and easy to write. Among them there is also a cross symbol, which the kid called the plus sign, which means to add before and after, and the horizontal sign is the minus sign ......"

Half an hour has passed after the brief explanation, Zhao Yan finally got rid of the studious Tang Yun, left the Wang family quickly, and promised Tang Yun before parting that if he had spare time, he would go to the shop where he was to explain to him in detail.

Jiuzhou Town is in the west of the state city, Nanzhuang is in the southeast of the state city, the two places are not far apart, and the carriage of the Wang family soon arrived in front of the gate of the Li family in Nanzhuang in the bumpy.

Li Yingqiu, who came out after hearing the news, arched his hand and said: "If there is something to send someone to summon the little brother, why did Brother Changxu come in person?" ”

Wang Ye laughed and said, "Brother Xian, don't be polite to your brother." This is Zhao Xian's nephew, and this time it is thanks to him. ”

Zhao Yan stepped forward to greet Li Yingqiu and said, "Junior Zhao Yan, I have seen Li Yuanwai. ”

After greeting for a while, Li Yingqiu welcomed Wang Ye and Zhao Yan to the main hall of the Li Mansion, and ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked Wang Ye: "Brother Changxu, what clues did you find out from the account books?" ”

Wang Ye nodded and said, "Not bad." Xiao Jiu, you will show the evidence to the virtuous brother. ”

Wang Jiu took out the copied book from his arms and presented it to Li Yingqiu on the main seat with both hands.

"How unreasonable!" After reading it, Li Yingqiu couldn't help but get angry, and after shouting angrily, he yelled at the hall: "Come on, let me go and tie up Li Yingxue's bastard, this silverfish, the old man wants to open a clan ancestral hall and expel him from the clan." ”

Wang Ye also said to Wang Jiu: "You go and escort Ma Liu from the cabinet, remember not to let him run away." ”

Wang Jiu bowed down and said, "The little one has already let the guy on the counter stare at Ma Liu, he will definitely not be able to run." ”

Wang Jiu took the order and left, Wang Ye and Li Yingqiu were chatting and laughing in the hall, Zhao Yan felt bored, so he borrowed urine and walked out.

The layout of the Li family's house is similar to that of the Wang family, Zhao Yan followed the Li family who led the way to the outside of the latrine, and after entering and releasing the water, he disappeared.

Zhao Yan shook his head, and said in his heart that the Li family's sense of service is really poor, but fortunately I know the way.

Just thinking about it, he was slapped on the shoulder on his left side, Zhao Yan was startled, and subconsciously took a big step forward, and then looked back.

"Hahaha...... Coward, this girl is just joking with you, look at you, you are faster than a rabbit. Li Yun held his waist with both hands, laughed very gracelessly, and the crisp laughter came far away.

Zhao Yan frowned and looked at Li Yun, today this elf and eccentric little girl has changed her clothes again, the upper body is a sky blue round-neck skirt, the lower body is a pleated skirt of the same color, and the delicate embroidered shoes are looming at the bottom of the skirt, at this time the little girl is looking up and laughing, the clothes on the upper body tighten as her body leans back, and the originally ordinary chest looks slightly curved.

"Little liar......" Zhao Yan said lightly.

"Uh......" Li Yun was like a rooster choked by the throat, and immediately shouted: "You are the little liar, your whole family is a little liar, and your family is a little liar inside and out." ”

"Tomboy......" Zhao Yan continued to say lightly.

When Li Yun heard this, he shouted again: "You are a tomboy, your whole family is a tomboy." ”

"I'll take it down there." Zhao Yan said.

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a flushed face: "You...... Shameless, obscene and shameless, a disciple. ”

Zhao Yan smiled, turned around and left, he didn't want to be here to fight with this little girl.

"Stop." Li Yun shouted angrily, but Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to it, and he had to make a personal certificate for Wang Dahu later, and if he went back late, he would have to bother people to send someone to find him.

Li Yun looked at Zhao Yan's figure getting farther and farther away and was very angry, and shouted suddenly: "You peeked at someone's chest just now, you insulted me, I want to tell my father." ”

Zhao Yan turned around with a headache, this little girl is really tough, and she doesn't have the reserve that a girl should have.

Don't look at incivility, this is the virtue that a scholar should have, which means that things that don't conform to etiquette can't be seen, Zhao Yan just glanced at Li Yun's 'airport', if you really want to be more serious, then Li Yun was really 'indecent' by him, with Li Yun's temperament, maybe he will really tell Li Yingqiu, although in the end this matter may not be resolved, but Zhao Yan's reputation may be affected.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zhao Yan asked with a cold face.

Li Yun's big eyes blinked, and his face was full of fox-like smiles: "People's paper kites are hung on the tree, you help me get the paper kite down, we will be cleared, in the future, you will take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge." ”

Zhao Yan looked around, but didn't see anything, and said unhappily: "This is what you said, you should keep your promises in life, regardless of men, women, old and young." ”

Li Yun raised his head proudly and said: "Of course, the gentleman is quick to speak, and this girl is a talker." ”

Zhao Yan was skeptical and continued to ask, "What about your family's maid servant?" Why don't you let them get the paper kite down for you? ”

"Miss Ben is willing, can you handle it?" Li Yun turned his head and walked towards the back garden of the Li Mansion first.

Zhao Yan silently followed behind Li Yun, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and asked: "It doesn't seem surprising that you saw me in your home, don't you want to calculate me again?" ”

Li Yun didn't dare to look back, so he only waved his hand and said in a low voice: "There are more people who come to this girl's house every day, do you have to be surprised to see everyone this girl?" If I wasn't as tall as you, I wouldn't have asked you to get the paper kite off for me, and I was so timid, and I said that I was bringing ...... Bring it. ”

The back garden of the Li family is similar to that of the Wang family, except that the lake in the middle is slightly larger, and Li Yun's paper kite hangs on a big tree that is more than one person thick by the lake.

When he came closer, Zhao Yan found that the ground was full of messy footprints, which were large and small, and it was impossible for Li Yun's little feet to step on them.

There was a bamboo pole about a foot long on the side of the big tree, Li Yun pointed to the bamboo pole, and then raised his finger to point to the paper kite on the tree, and said: "See, you be careful, don't break my paper kite." ”

Zhao Yan picked up the bamboo pole and tried it, trying to reach the paper kite on the tree was a little short, and it happened that there was a stone the size of a human head by the lake, so he kicked on the stone, and then faced the dazzling sunlight, and pushed the paper kite up little by little.

Li Yun walked closer in a good time, looked up and saw Zhao Yan looking up intently, moving her hands together, trying to get the paper kite off the tree, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a smug smile, and then she lifted the corner of her skirt and stretched out a small foot and kicked Zhao Yan's thigh.

'Plop', as if something had fallen overboard.

Zhao Yan stood on tiptoe and pressed lightly, and the paper kite on the tree flew down.

"Ah...... You, a disciple, are despicable and shameless, and you are plotting against this girl. The water by the lake is not deep, only up to Li Yun's knees, but the weather in early spring is a little cold, and Li Yun's frozen little face is a little pale.

Zhao Yan picked up the paper kite on the ground, looked at Li Yun like a chicken in soup, and said with a smile: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, since you want to plot against me, you have to think about what the consequences of failure will be." The paper kite is here for you, remember your promise, and don't break your promise and get fat. ”

"I'm." Li Yun said hatefully, Zhao Yan also said these four words yesterday, but today it was said by a different person.

Li Yun couldn't help but shudder when she looked at Zhao Yan's distant figure, she shouted at a rockery in the distance: "Xiao Xiang'er, and Li Er, this girl is going to freeze to death, what are you hiding, quickly bring a blanket for this girl." ”
