A good night's sleep.

Xie Mulin woke up early the next morning and only felt refreshed.

The living environment of the new house is really much stronger than the old house. However, after a long journey, you can finally settle down and live a stable life, and the psychological changes will also help you sleep, right?

She finished freshening up under the service of the two maids, changed into a home-style dress brought from Jinling, and went to the main courtyard to have breakfast with her mother and siblings.

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi had to leave early because the academy was a little far away, so they only hurriedly said a few words to the Wen family and their brothers and sisters, and at the same time quickly filled their stomachs to seven or eight points, and then set off. Wen told them to go slower and not run, and then turned around and told the maids to prepare some snacks that were easy to eat, and then asked the little maids to send them to the academy to prevent them from going hungry before they arrived.

Xie Huizhi and Xie Hanzhi were at the door of their homes because they were studying in ethnology, and they had a relatively leisurely breakfast. But the former failed to do the recitation homework assigned by Mr. Genaster last night, and the latter had to urge his brother to hug the Buddha's feet before the formal class, so this meal was also not very peaceful. Fortunately, although Xie Huizhi is a scumbag, he is not good at learning because of his playfulness, and he is very smart, and he memorized the book before the end of breakfast. The little brothers were relieved, and they didn't care about whether they had enough to eat, so they hurriedly asked the booklet to wrap a few pieces of dry snacks, and then said goodbye to their mother-in-law and sisters, and went out hand in hand.

Wen wiped his sweat and sat down at the table again, using his share of morning food with peace of mind.

Xie Mulin slowly drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, and said noisily: "The eldest brother and the second brother should get up early and eat early, and you don't have to wait for everyone to eat before eating." In this way, just after eating, you can run quickly, which is not conducive to health at all, and it is time for a stomach ache after a long time. There is also a third brother...... It's good to work hard, but yesterday after school and before going to bed at night, it was enough for half a day's work. With his cleverness in being able to memorize an essay during breakfast, can't he memorize half a book in half a day? I prefer to work hard when my eyebrows are burned, and I don't have any concept of time planning! I also have to eat the breakfast of the fourth child. ”

Wanqin stood at the table, respectfully presented a bowl of porridge to the Wen family, and took Xie Mulin's words with a smile: "The girl is right, the third young master has never liked to study, and he is not willing to work hard until the last moment." The gentleman in the school asked him to endorse it, which was too difficult for him. "It's better not to go to school, and it won't bother my brothers!

Xie Mulin glanced at her and said, "The fourth brother is kind and wants to help his brother, but every time he helps like this, the third brother is easy to develop a bad habit of relying on him." When will the fourth brother be able to harden his heart, regardless of the third brother, and ask the third brother to be severely punished by Mr. several times because he is not good at studying his homework, and he will lose face, maybe the third brother will be able to remember the lesson and take the initiative to correct it. ”

Xie Yingfen sneered beside her: "Xiao Si can't be ruthless." As long as the third brother says two good words and begs him, the fourth brother will immediately soften. Whatever I said about him, he wouldn't listen. ”

Wanqin pursed her lips and kept silent. She was not happy to listen to her son's bad words, thinking that it was entirely Xie Huizhi's responsibility, and her daughter actually helped Xie Yingzhen blame her younger brother, it was really too much!

Wen didn't know anything about Wanqin's thoughts, and said to his daughter with a smile: "You are too demanding, their brothers are harmonious, respect and love each other, this is a good thing." Huizhi has just entered the school, and he is not used to it yet, and he will learn it slowly. Hanzhi's respect for his brother is also an advantage, why did it get into your mouth, but it became a mistake? ”

Xie Mulin smiled and changed the topic: "Mother wants to buy all the things used in the ceremony today, and she still has to settle the account, right?" Shall I help you with my fourth sister? I see that other people are planning to dish, and I have learned some mantras myself, so I really want to give it a try. In fact, before going to bed last night, she turned out the abacus textbook used in the interest class in elementary school in the study space, and with her good memory, she memorized the mantra of addition and subtraction, and felt that she could pick this skill back.

Wen didn't object. First, the daughter's family will marry in the future, and there is no harm in learning how to settle accounts; Second, although the Xie family is an official eunuch, they made a fortune from business, Xie Pu has been a powerful businessman, and has never forbidden the children in the family to learn to settle accounts; Third, she is now understaffed, Ma Luyao and his wife are guarding Mrs. Xie on the old house, and she is not familiar with the stewardship of the new house. Wanqin is a helper, but Wanqin is Cao's personal girl, and Wen's use of her always feels empty......

If the daughter and the concubine can help, it will be great.

Wanqin watched and stopped, but thinking that her daughter was also counted, it was actually a good thing to be taught by her mother how to manage the feed. Although she was dissatisfied with her daughter's words and deeds, she also hoped that Xie Yingfen would have a good future......

Xie Mulin successfully obtained the right to assist Wen's housekeeper, and after breakfast, he asked for an abacus and a pen and paper, accompanied Wen's side, and calculated the accounts of the items needed for the ritual for her.

She hasn't made an abacus for more than ten years, and she was very rusty at first, but it also happened to cut her identity as a "beginner" in the eyes of everyone. When she slowly regained her senses, her hands became more and more proficient in moving the abacus beads, and she became a "genius" in the eyes of others.

Xie Yingfen, who was not as skilled as her sister no matter how she learned, sighed there: "Second sister is really capable!" I didn't even see it before. It can be seen that the elder sister is not as smart and talented as the eldest sister and the third sister, but she is just clumsy. ”

Wen was also very happy in his heart, but he still had to be humble for his daughter: "What kind of ability is she?" It's just that I know how to plan the plate. At the age of ten, the old man was able to make the abacus not inferior to the family's account room, but the second old lady and the old lady did not allow him to continue learning, but whenever there were accounts to be calculated, they were all asked to do it for the shopkeeper and the account room. The same is true for your sisters, you just need to know how to use an abacus, but you don't have to fiddle with this thing every day, otherwise others will laugh at you for not being like a girl from a scholar's family. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and didn't say much. She just wants to show off her abacus skills and take the opportunity to meddle in the housework, of course she doesn't plan to really be a bookkeeper.

She took the accounts that Wen's side had calculated clearly, listed the tables, and transcribed them using the credit and debit accounting method of modern accounting, showed them to Wen, and explained the benefits of this accounting method. Wen immediately said, "Sure enough, I understand! Where did you come from, kid? I thought about it again, "I haven't written a letter to Peking to report my safety to the master, so I simply wrote this accounting method in the letter and told the master." If the master thinks it is good, he will use it in the accounts of the family industry, and he will not worry about someone making trouble in the accounts! ”

Although the credit and loan accounting method is clearer and clearer than the ancient accounting method, it cannot completely eliminate the existence of false accounts, but in three or five years, it should not be so easy to be exploited.

Xie Mulin smiled, did not object to Wen's suggestion, and took the initiative to say that he was willing to write a letter to his father in person, detailing this accounting method, and Wen didn't have to bother.

Xie Yingfen looked at her sister with adoring eyes on the side, and Wanqin retreated to the corner of the house, becoming more and more gloomy. If the Xie family really switched to the new accounting method, her plan to take advantage of the opportunity to make money in the palm of her hand would not seem to be so easy to achieve......

On this day, Xie Mulin spent all his time with his mother. The next day, she and her brothers and sisters followed the Wen family, with rich offerings, and took a boat to the ancestral grave to pay homage to her grandfather Xie Zehu.

The ancestral tomb of the Xie family is located near the old house.
