Chapter 242: Arriving at Hengcheng
Jing Yuan looked at the three elementary school students in front of him with a gentle gaze.
He asked, "What are you three talking about so fascinated that you don't plan to go home?"
The three of them came back to their senses and saluted Jing Yuan one after another.
The little fat group said: "Sir, Ji Lang said that he will go back to run the business in the future, and we are persuading him." ”
Jing Yuan glanced at the three of them, he still had a good impression of Ji Lang, Ji Lang was Ji Yanning's younger brother.
He asked, "Why persuade you?"
The little noble boy and the little fat group listened to Jing Yuan's question, and they both frowned slightly.
Fat Tuanzi said: "Of course, it's because it's better to go back to business than to be an official!
Jing Yuan said: "Simply comparing the merchants with the scholars, it seems that you have not solved this problem. ”
The little noble boy and the little fat dumpling both looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
Jing Yuan looked at Ji Lang and asked, "You are still young now, why are you thinking about going back to running the business now?"
Ji Lang had a good impression of Mr. Jingyuan, but he didn't reject it, and said: "Because this is what I should do, if my father hadn't died, I would have taken over his business when I grew up, and now my sister and Uncle Wu are taking care of the affairs of the business." ”
Jing Yuan heard the meaning of his words and asked, "So you think your sister is working hard and want to share it for her?"
Ji Lang nodded and said, "Yes, last time my sister went back, she was injured because of business matters, and now she has to go to many places, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to come back." ”
Jing Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Where did your sister go?"
Ji Lang said: "North, there are many places to go, and our Baochang Ji shops are available in many states and counties in Dawei." ”
"Did you come to Egret Academy to study in the first place?" asked Jing Yuan.
Ji Lang shook his head: "Naturally not, because I am still young, and my sister wants me to learn more things." ”
Jing Yuan said: "Yes, you came here with an attitude of learning, not thinking about entering the office or going back to business, so what path do you want to choose in the future, why do you want to affect the present?"
Ji Lang raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Jing Yuan, and he understood what he meant.
Jing Yuan continued: "You are still young, and you still have a long way to go, and you will experience a lot of things, and every encounter may affect your life. ”
Ji Lang bowed his head and nodded: "Student understands, thank you, sir." ”
The little noble boy and the little fat group looked at Ji Lang with some puzzlement, Mr. didn't seem to say anything, how could he understand?
Jing Yuan bowed slightly, and then stepped out.
Ji Lang also walked out, looked back at the two partners, and said, "Let's go, aren't you going home?"
The little fat group chased after him and asked, "What, you changed your mind?"
Ji Lang shrugged: "No." ”
The little fat group was puzzled: "That gentleman's words are equivalent to not saying it." ”
"No matter what happens to me in the future, we're all good friends now, aren't we?" Ji Lang asked rhetorically.
The little fat dumpling frowned slightly: "It seems to be that truth." ”
Watching the three elementary school students get into the carriage together, Jing Yuan's eyes darkened a little as he stood behind them.
Ji Lang said that Ji Yanning went to the north, maybe others would think that she was doing business for Baochang Ji, but Jing Yuan didn't think so.
There is Ding Zhen in the north, and Ji Yanning will not let him go.
"Ahh Ji Yanning, who was in the carriage, sneezed softly.
Ying'er worried: "Isn't Miss feeling cold?"
Ji Yanning felt a little strange, and she shook her head.
Ying'er said: "Then it is estimated that the uncle and the uncle are thinking about the young lady, the young lady has just been gone for a day, and everyone is reluctant." ”
Ji Yanning lowered her eyes, put down the book in her hand, and didn't Ying Ying'er's words, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
After only one day, their team had passed through the small county town near Chang'an, and continued to march in the direction of the north, she only brought Ying'er a personal maidservant, and the other seventy or eighty people were all guards, so they naturally walked faster.
However, these guards have a clear division of labor, some have become grooms, and some are looking at luggage, so at once, they are similar to the pomp and circumstance of ordinary rich and noble families, the difference is only that these people are all sturdy men.
Sometimes when they encountered difficult roads, Ji Yanning and Ying'er rode over, making the team faster.
After walking for a month, they finally arrived at Hengcheng near Yingcheng.
It only took three days to get from Hengcheng to Yingcheng, Ji Yanning was not in a hurry, she took someone to live directly in the courtyard of Hengcheng Baochangji.
Hearing the eldest lady say that she had finally arrived at her destination, Ying'er really breathed a sigh of relief and could have a good rest.
There were bumps along the way, and I was about to lose weight, no wonder the eldest lady didn't let Ziyu and Pearl follow, if the two of them followed, I was afraid that the eldest lady would have to take care of them.
Seeing that Ying'er was very tired, Ji Yanning asked her to rest first, after all, the shopkeeper here arranged a few maids for her.
Ji Yanning took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and after eating, the shopkeeper Peng here came to Ji Yanning's courtyard with the account books.
Although the shopkeeper Peng is far away in Hengcheng, he has heard of the rumors of this new owner, although the eldest lady of the owner is young, but she is not a good stubble, and the means are powerful, as long as it is an audit, a check is accurate.
So naturally he didn't dare to fool Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning watched Shopkeeper Peng come with the account books and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's only been the first day she has lived in Hengcheng, and before she has started to rest, this shopkeeper can't wait to let her reconcile the account books?
"Miss, this is the account book of our Hengcheng shop for the past two years. Shopkeeper Peng put things on the table.
Ji Yanning looked at the thick account book, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Peng has worked hard. ”
"It's not hard, the eldest lady has come thousands of miles away, and it's the hardest. Peng shopkeeper said.
Ji Yanning didn't say anything else, then picked up an account book and began to flip through it.
Seeing that the eldest lady of the owner really picked up the book and checked the accounts without saying a word, the shopkeeper Peng couldn't help but sigh, the eldest lady really likes to check the accounts, and she started to read the account books before she rested......
Ji Yanning has an abacus in her hand, she checks the accounts much faster than others, and she doesn't take some small problems too seriously.
"In December last year, why was half of the fourth-class goods missing?" Ji Yanning read the account book and found this problem for the time being.
Fourth-class goods are inferior to Po Cheong Kee, and the price is also the lowest.
Shopkeeper Peng sat on the side with some surprise, the cup of tea in his hand had not been finished yet, and the eldest lady had already finished reading the account book.
This speed is almost catching up with those under him who specialize in writing accounts.
