Chapter 17: Finally Free Your Right Hand
The news that Boss Feng's son-in-law, Young Master Zhou, was going to hold a study class was like having wings under the operation of someone with a heart, and it was all over Cangzhou City. The so-called "caring person" is naturally Boss Zhu, who studied with the attitude of making a fortune, and Feng Zigui, who strategized for his son-in-law. These two people are also well-known figures in Cangzhou City, and this operation suddenly caused a storm in the city. It's just that the price is a bit high. Do you want those who do some small business to know if they can earn dozens of taels of silver a year, and now you want them to take out more than half a year's income, just to learn the "Zhou's counting method" that has not been heard of for thousands of years?
This wind also blew into the prefect's yamen and into the inner courtyard of the yamen.
Xie Bingzhou crouched on the bookcase and meticulously wrote the folds, with a bowl of tea in front of him, the tea bowl floated with white mist, and the aroma of clear tea overflowed, and the room was fragrant.
This writing excerpt is no better than anything else, this is for the emperor to read - although most of the emperors don't read it at all, they are first picked up by the inner government and sent in, but there is also a chance to be seen by the emperor, do you dare to scribble? Even in the Tang Dynasty, where cursive writing was popular, Wu Zetian's son died, and she wrote the "Ascending Immortal Prince Tablet" by herself, the stele is a bird and insect seal, and the content is cursive, which opened a precedent for a generation of cursive steles, and I have not seen any courtier in the Tang Dynasty who dared to use cursive to write folds.
Therefore, there are many ministers who use their masters or guest secretaries to write excerpts. Xie Bingzhou doesn't have that style, and his handwriting is okay, and he doesn't need to find someone to write for him.
"My lord, Zhou Xiaocao, whom we saw that day, had been secretly concerned about him, but in the past two days, he has made trouble again, saying that he wants to teach the bookkeepers in the city to learn what self-created 'Zhou's counting method', and he also needs fifty taels of silver for tuition. Tell me, this guy is really not a toss-up. ”
Xie Bingzhou wrote the fold, dried the ink on it, and put it in an envelope: "Go, send someone to expedite eight hundred miles and send it to the capital." ”
Since someone took the fold and rushed away, this is the big man that Zhou Xiaocao bumped into when he was "talking" on the street that day, it seems that he is the personal guard of the Xie Governor's Mansion, and he can always accompany the master of Lord Xie's side.
At this time, Xie Bingzhou heard Dahan say this, and couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Since he dares to boast about Haikou, then what he said should still be worth the price." ”
Dahan nodded and said, "Yes! According to the shopkeeper of the Zhiyi Workshop who released the news, he first taught this method to his wife Feng Yulan, but the speed of the eldest lady of the family this week increased sharply, and the work of several days was done in one day, and I don't know if it is true. ”
Xie Bingzhou said with a smile: "This kid knows how to do nonsense." Even if this method is useful, it is only convenient for those businessmen who are covered in copper stench, so what is the use? Can it increase the grain production in the land for the people, or can it govern the country and secure the country and conquer for His Majesty? It's just nonsense! If this continues, I don't think he will be able to pass the fame test. ”
Dahan said with a smile: "That's right, I see that this kid is not a reading material." ”
Xie Bingzhou said: "That's not necessarily. This kid is very smart, but his mind is all in the crooked way and he can't extricate himself. If you study hard, you may not be able to achieve fame. ”
Xie Qiuyan happened to walk in, and when she heard this conversation, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this Zhou Xiaocao is a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, messing around, and not doing anything right!" ”
Xie Bingzhou was surprised: "What's the matter, Qiu Yan girl knows him?" ”
Xie Qiuyan blushed and said, "How come? How could I have known such a scoundrel! ”
But that flustered expression had already sold her completely, and Governor Xie knew it, and then asked, "How did you know him?" ”
Xie Qiuyan knew that he couldn't hide it from his father, and after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to tell what happened in Zhiyifang the day before yesterday, but said: "That day, in Zhiyifang, he... He was teasing his own girl. This kind of person is simply scum, scum! ”
Governor Xie smiled and said, "What do you know? These big families all have girls in the house, maybe this is also one. People are laughing with the people in their own room, and others are afraid that they can't care about it, right? At most, it can only be said that he is misbehaving and should not flirt in public. ”
Xie Qiuyan said angrily: "It's not! He's a very bad person, he's... He also ......"
"How?"
Xie Qiuyan twisted his waist: "Oh, people can't say it!" ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Governor Xie smiled at the big man and said, "Look, I still know that I'm shy." This girl, it's time to tell her about her family, seeing that she is so big, and if she goes so crazy, I'm afraid no one will want it. ”
………
Five days later, Zhou Xiaocao's "accounting training class" was officially opened, with 50 taels of silver per person, and the training time was 20 days, mainly to teach advanced concepts and methods such as Arabic numerals, four arithmetic, and classification and sorting. In Zhou Xiaocao's opinion, since these people are all bosses or bookkeepers, the arithmetic must be not bad, that is, let them change their thinking and learn new numbers and methods for a while, and there is a gap in time.
That Boss Zhu was really powerful, I don't know how, so I found twenty-two people to come to listen to the class. In this way, he not only reduced his tuition fees, but also earned a net of one hundred and seventy taels of silver. He secretly said to Zhou Xiaocao that this Zhou's counting method is good, and he earned more than 100 taels of silver before he learned it, a good thing! was so angry that Zhou Xiaocao scolded him for having no conscience and asked him to divide the one hundred and seventy taels of silver equally with himself. Boss Zhu is greedy for money, how can he agree? said that you just got these twenty-two people, and you got nearly a thousand taels of silver, and you still look at my Lao Zhu's coffin book?
Zhou Xiaocao has been in a good mood recently, so she didn't take him seriously. If it was left in the past, Xiaocao would have to do everything possible to get the dozens of taels of silver in Lao Zhu's hand this week, he had this confidence!
As for why Zhou Niu's mood is so good, it has to start with Feng Yulan.
Originally, it would take several days to make accounts this month, especially if a business like Feng Zigui was big, it was even more cumbersome. However, since the Zhou family counting method was introduced, Feng Yulan calculated the accounts within a day, and then registered them to facilitate the year-end check. Feng Yulan, who was used to being busy, suddenly became idle, didn't know what to do, and began to stare at the ceiling.
But Zhou Xiaocao didn't dry anymore.
Think about it, beautiful women, pretty women, idle, full of food and drink, young boys and girls... He Zhou Xiaocao couldn't stand it for a long time. So, lying on Feng Yulan's ear and whispering a few words, I saw that the roots of Miss Feng's ears were dazzlingly red, and the emerald green earrings were crystal clear: "Death, in broad daylight, how bad is this." ”
Zhou Xiaocao Zhenzhen said: "Lady, this saying is good, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, what we want here is the pleasure of cheating... Ouch, what are you hitting me for, lady? ”
Feng Yulan grabbed Zhou Xiaocao's ear and dragged it to the bedroom, and said viciously: "What are you doing?" What did you just say? Is a wife not as good as a concubine? Is it better to steal from a concubine? ”
Zhou Xiaocao realized that she had missed her mouth, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, let it go, the husband knows it's wrong, and he knows it's wrong...... Oh... Ya Butterfly! ”
Ginkgo biloba and Kou'er heard their teeth sore outside, and said in their hearts that our young lady is amazing, you see this young master is called, that is called a miserable. No, when you get married in the future, you can also learn the trick of young grandmother.
But listen, why is the sound wrong here? What about the howl? Why is it silent?
When the two girls got closer to listen, they only heard the sound of "snorting" inside, sometimes mixed with the laughter of the young grandmother. Chloe and Ginkgo looked at each other, what were they doing?
