Chapter 7 Study
After entering the East Cross Courtyard, Lu Heng and the others stopped in an elegant courtyard.
"The eldest lady is inside, let's go inside!" Manager Fang pointed to the closed door and said to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded, and walked up the steps with Manager Fang.
After Manager Fang lightly tapped the door twice, a soft voice came from the room: "Come in, Uncle Fang!" ”
Pushing open the door, the first thing I heard was a faint scent of pollen. Unlike the perfumes of later generations, they are full of chemical smells and smell very pleasant.
The room is very elegantly furnished, with antique furniture and screens. There is a couplet hanging on the wall in the center, looking at the handwriting of Juanxiu, it should be written by a woman.
On a chair made of sandalwood, a woman with a light veil on her face was holding a thread-bound book in her hand and frowning. Seeing Lu Heng and Manager Fang come in, the woman put down the things in her hand, turned her head and smiled: "Uncle Fang!" Then, he actually smiled at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng didn't see people smiling at him, but was attracted by the object in the woman's hand.
Khan, what the woman held in her hand just now turned out to be the account book she had just made.
Lu Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, sure enough, it was the account book that led to it.
"Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi!" The voice of Manager Fang came from his ears, and Lu Heng suddenly woke up and responded indiscriminately: "Huh? Mr. Fang, what's the situation! ”
Mr. Fang was sweating all over his head, and glanced at this distracted guy speechlessly. coughed and said, "Lady just asked you hello." ”
Lu Heng reacted at this time, retracted his gaze, and saw the woman with a light veil on her face looking at her, her brows furrowed slightly, well, it seemed a little unhappy.
"Ah, oh, Miss, hello!" Lu Heng replied indiscriminately, and couldn't remember any courtesy, so he directly arched his fist and said hello to this woman with a beautiful figure.
As soon as the words came out, the manager Fang beside him was suddenly taken aback. looked at Lu Heng beside him in surprise, angry and angry in his heart, and bluntly said in his heart that this guy didn't know what to do.
Damn, I'm still a reader. I don't even know this etiquette. At the very least, you have to make a gesture, and then answer respectfully whether it's okay or not. How can there be such a person, I really doubt that your identity as a scholar is true or false.
After thousands of years of development, Confucianism and etiquette have been regarded as a masterpiece today. Readers, in particular, are more particular about this. For example, when peers meet, they must greet each other. If you are an elder, you should be more polite and respectful. And, if necessary, kneel. If the man sees the woman, the two sides are not acquainted. Men must show courteous gentlemanly manners, otherwise they will be mistaken for disciples. The lightest is also the nickname of madness.
How can there be such a thing as Lu Heng, just a hello sentence.
Manager Fang cherished his talent, for fear that Lu Heng would annoy the eldest lady and be expelled. Hurriedly and secretly signaled to Lu Heng to pay attention to the image.
Lu Heng hinted at the other party's manager, in addition to being slightly grateful, he was also a little funny. After all, I am not an ancient person, and I will continue to live here in the future. If you abandon yourself all and learn to be as delicate and pretentious as the ancient literati, you really can't stand it. Moreover, the time will still be long in the future, and there is no need for me to pretend to be everything. As long as you step out of line in the general direction, the rest of the people around you will slowly get used to it.
Lu Heng smiled at the other manager, and then set his eyes on the eldest lady who was covered with white light veil.
This eldest lady was not as shocked as Manager Fang, but after frowning slightly, she stretched out. The corners of his eyes were crooked, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Lu Gongzi, please take a seat!" The eldest lady pointed to a chair next to her and spoke softly.
After Lu Heng thanked him, he lifted the back hem of his clothes and sat on it steadily. And Manager Fang was a little restrained, and sat on half of his ass unsteadily. Lu Heng looked at Manager Fang's sitting posture, which was equivalent to half a horse's pace, and was really worried about his two little short legs.
"Come on, serve tea!" After the eldest lady called to the inner room, she set her eyes on Lu Heng.
Gently patted the thin thread-shaped ledger in his hand, and asked with interest in his beautiful eyes: "Master Lu, have you ever done the accounting room before?" ”
Khan, it's this problem again.
Lu Heng smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "No!" This is the first time! ”
"Then where did Lu Gongzi learn this way of keeping accounts?" Like the previous Manager Fang, after hearing Lu Heng's answer, the eldest lady thought that Lu Heng was perfunctory. He asked in a somewhat stiff tone.
After Lu Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea, he looked at the eldest lady and said, "Well, good tea." Oh, you said this way of bookkeeping, oh, I figured it out by looking at the ledger myself! ”
After the first experience of lying, this time, Lu Heng was so familiar with it that he didn't even blink his eyelids, and threw out this argument that he had prepared a long time ago.
The eldest lady let out a faint sigh and looked at Manager Fang on the side.
Seeing that Manager Fang smiled helplessly and nodded, the eldest lady believed Lu Heng's lame explanation with suspicion.
Seeing that no other news could be found, the eldest lady also gave up this idea. Then the topic was brought to the ledger.
After the eldest lady took the account book and looked through it a few times, her beautiful eyes were full of admiration, and while looking at the handwriting and those accurate numbers, she nodded and praised: "Childe is a good word!" ”
In this era, calligraphy is already a situation where hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and calligraphy of various factions is emerging in an endless stream. These calligraphy works can sometimes fetch a very high price. Scholars take pride in being able to write well. Moreover, to be an official in the future, a good hand is a must.
It is rumored that a big criterion for selecting officials in the Holy World today is the words of the officials. The font is beautiful, which naturally gives people a sense of comfort and makes it easier to be promoted. And those who write crookedly, where did they come from, hurry back to where. If you want to be promoted, you need to practice calligraphy for a few years first.
On the ledger, Lu Heng used Xiaokai. The calligraphy in italics looks strong and powerful. And generous and steady. It gives a sense of stability. The whole ledger looks neat and clean, and the small ones look particularly pleasing to the eye.
With a smile in the corner of her eyes, the eldest lady nodded and praised: "The words are good, and the accounts are good." ”
A compliment made Lu Heng a little embarrassed.
took a sip of tea and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
"I take the liberty of asking, Gongzi Lu, you, can you teach the concubine this method of bookkeeping?" After being reserved for a long time, the eldest lady finally couldn't help it and said what was in her heart.
After saying that, he looked at Lu Heng nervously, for fear that Lu Heng would reject him.
Speaking of which, such a sophisticated bookkeeping method should be the secret of Lu Gongzi. It seems that it is difficult for some strong people to ask for each other suddenly.
However, I am really curious and eager to learn.
The eldest lady's palms were full of sweat, tugging at the corners of her clothes, looking at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng drank the tea in one gulp, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that powerful." Belch....... All right! ”
The eyes of the eldest lady are really hard to refuse. Moreover, bookkeeping is a kind of arithmetic that only uses some simple formulas. No big deal.
For Lu Heng, there are thousands of ways to make a living. Bookkeeping is just a more comfortable one.
