Chapter 74: Learning Stewardship Council (1)
"Okay, grandmother won't talk about it, Tan Yun, you go and prepare." Old Madam Ji smiled and looked at Mama Lin.
"Yes, the old slave will go."
Ji Fu stepped forward and saluted, followed behind her with soft eyebrows and eyes, Old Madam Ji was in a very good mood today, and she was also a lot more pleasing to the eye.
But after a while, Su Qiu came over: "Old lady, Mama Lin's side has already been arranged." ”
Old Madam Ji smiled and nodded: "Then you two can go over." ”
"Rest then, grandmother, and come to see you when your granddaughter is done."
Ji Wan and Ji Fu blessed their bodies, and then went to Xinuan Pavilion with Su Qiu.
Mrs. Ji deliberately cleaned up this place for them to study, and the overall decoration also made some changes, and she also deliberately put two bookcases in it, and the stationery supplies were readily available.
As soon as I entered, I saw that Mama Lin was already waiting inside, and there were two mothers-in-law with raw faces next to her, each dragging a stack of account books in their hands.
"Eldest Miss, Third Miss, you are here." Although Mama Lin is relatively athletic, she has a very kind face and smiles very kindly.
"Hello Mama, I'll bother Mama next." Ji Wan and Ji Fu nodded, Mama Lin is the grandmother's dowry, and she has a deep relationship with her grandmother, and they are different from ordinary subordinates in the house, and they are also more respectful.
Mama Lin was very satisfied with their attitude: "The two young ladies are polite, it is the old slave who has trespassed, let's start next, and read these account books in three hours." ”
As soon as Mama Lin waved her hand, the two mothers-in-law put the two stacks of account books on the two bookcases.
The first time Ji Fu came into contact with these, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, looking sideways at Ji Wan's calm appearance, she was puzzled, the eldest sister has really changed a lot.
This housekeeper seems simple on weekdays, but it is only when I learn it myself that I realize the difficulties.
All kinds of expenditure details, even some trivial things, without enough understanding, it is difficult to see the problem.
Ji Wan managed the middle feed of the entire Xu Mansion in her previous life, and she had to take care of all the big and small things herself, and she was naturally familiar with these account books, but in an hour, she read all the account books, and circled the problematic places.
Mama Lin secretly smacked her tongue when she watched from the side, even she couldn't read these account books in such a quick time, but she soon calmed down, and she couldn't make up her mind so quickly what the result was.
The two mothers-in-law also looked at Ji Wan dumbfounded, and secretly smacked their tongues.
On the other hand, Ji Fu is a little struggling, fortunately, the Ji family attaches more importance to women's upbringing, and has invited Mr. to teach since he was a child, and literacy and hyphenation are not a problem.
But after all, the ledger is not poetry and songs, literacy does not necessarily mean that you can understand the ledger, and the bits and pieces of detailed rules recorded in it are still another Ji Fu's anxiety, and an hour has passed, but he will finish reading a book.
"Mama, can you teach me how to plan the plate?" There is still an hour to go, and Ji Wan doesn't want to wait for a waste of time like this.
Mama Lin was stunned for a moment: "Then the old slave will teach the eldest lady to plan first." ”
Originally, I wanted to teach the two of them together, but now it seems that we have to change the way.
Mama Lin carefully explained to Ji Wan the method of planning the plate, and demonstrated it twice, Ji Wan started by himself, and the technique was a little stagnant at the beginning, but the speed was raised after a while.
Her expression was very focused, flipping through the account book with one hand, quickly pulling the abacus beads with the other, and from time to time she had to stop and take notes, and her slender white fingers flew up and down, which was not worse than the old bookkeeper in the shop for many years.
The crisp sound of the abacus beads colliding attracted Ji Fu's frequent sideways.
Mama Lin didn't know what to say, she didn't expect the eldest lady to have such a talent in this area, and the old lady didn't know how happy she was when she found out.
Looking at Mama Lin's excited look, Ji Wan lowered her head a little ashamedly, she would have planned to play, and she played well, but she didn't want to behave too abruptly so she found an excuse, but she didn't expect it to be too much.
"Big sister, you're so good, not like I'm too stupid, not to mention that I'm going to make a plate, I haven't even understood the account book until now." Ji Fu looked at Ji Wan enviously, and then thought about himself, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
Mama Lin saw that her expression was wrong, and she hurriedly said: "Third Miss don't be discouraged, everyone has their own things to be good at, although this housekeeping thing is cumbersome, it is not too difficult, you are just new to it, once you are born and twice cooked, you will understand if you look at it twice." ”
Ji Wan was not proud of these compliments, calmly stopped the things in his hand, and smiled slightly: "The third sister is too modest, your poetry is very good, even the husband who taught us before often praised you, besides, as long as you understand this care, most things only need to be handed over to reliable people to take care of." ”
"Big sister, don't make fun of me." Ji Fu blushed with shame, not as lost as Fang Cai.
Mama Lin looked Ji Wan up and down, she was more and more satisfied, the eldest lady was not only beautiful, but also so humble and polite tomorrow, and she loved her sister even more, her demeanor was calm and elegant, decent and generous, and she became more and more beautiful in the demeanor of everyone, no wonder the old lady loved her so much.
As soon as the small episode passed, two hours came, and Ji Wan not only read all the account books, but also settled all the accounts.
The more Mama Lin saw the back, the more frightened she became, the accounts were all correct, and the marks were clear and clear, which was clear at a glance, and even some omissions that were very hidden and that she didn't notice were also listed.
"Miss, did you learn this in private?" No wonder Mama Lin asked, although the housekeeping matter is not so difficult, it is very cumbersome, but it is not something that a little girl who has never been in contact with can easily come, and Ji Fu has not asked anyone to teach this.
The other two mothers-in-law are also secretly vigilant in their hearts, there is such a powerful eldest lady here, it is better to pay attention in the future, and it will be a big loss if you pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.
Now there is no housewife in the house, Aunt Xu has lost power, and the old lady is old again, and she will be the eldest lady's housekeeper when she can't say it.
Ji Wan shook his head and said: "It's not true, it's just that I like to read arithmetic books on weekdays, and when I look at this account book, I feel that there are similarities, so it's easier to get started." ”
Despite what she said, Mama Lin was still puzzled.
Is it just easier to get started? This is already sophisticated, that is, she has assisted the old lady in housekeeping for many years, but so, the eldest lady is really modest.
Thinking so in her heart, Mama Lin wouldn't really say that, so she coughed lightly and said with a pale face: "It's no wonder, but even so, it's because of the eldest lady's intelligence that she can use it freely." ”
"Mama has won the prize." Ji Wan sneered.
