Ruohong looked at this sister, yesterday she talked to the shopkeeper Fang about things, and she still had time to see her frowning, this is the eyes and ears that only those who practice martial arts have!

"I didn't see anything wrong, I just thought it wasn't clear to keep accounts, and it was hard to watch." Ruohong said.

Ruoxue flipped through two pages of the account book, "It's always been like this, where is there a second way of accounting?" She said.

Although Mr. Bookkeeper also has different bookkeeping methods, if you look closely, they are all the same, not much different, except for the kind of account books with code words, which take some effort to look at, most of them are similar.

Ruohong also turned two pages, the paper was full of square words, there was no punctuation, it was all up to the person who read it to segment it by feeling, such an account book was the same existence as the book of heaven for her.

She flipped the ledger to a blank page, tore a sheet from it, and asked Danju to fetch rouge, rulers, and a few toothpicks.

After a while, Dan Tang took a few things and put them on the sides of the kang.

Ruoxue didn't know what she wanted these things to sit on, so she dipped her toothpick in rouge and drew lines one by one on the paper with a ruler, and after a while, a piece of paper was full of small grids.

Five or six big girls, looking at them with watery and beautiful eyes, don't know what the third lady is doing with drawing such a grid.

Ruohong drew the grid, turned the account book to November, took a thinnest brush, and began to transcribe one pen by pen.

When Lianxin came back, she saw that the people in the house were silently watching the third lady write, and she didn't dare to disturb, so she put the bamboo basket in the outer room, and stood at the door and waited.

Ruoxue saw Lianxin standing at the door, so she put on embroidered shoes and walked out, and saw the basket at a glance.

"What's going on?" She said.

Lian Xin followed Ruoxue to the outside room, helped her sit down on the embroidery pier, and then stood next to her and said: "Uncle Tao said that the cat was given to you by someone, not by him, and he didn't want it." He said that you didn't want to go to the banquet, so he and the second young master went for you, and by the way, they beat the yellow stick again. ”

"Who's the Yellow Stick?"

"It's the person who fights with Uncle Tao, because he is tall, they all call him Yellow Stick." Lian Xin inquired about it from Tao Zhe Xiaosi.

Ruoxue smiled and asked Lian Xin to tell the guards to pay attention to proportion, and leave a little leeway for his subordinates to let Uncle Tao get angry.

Lian Xin answered, turned around and went outside to tell the young lady.

Ruoxue stretched out her hand to pull the basket closer, lifted the small quilt on it, and the fluffy ball turned over and climbed up, meowing.

Seeing the slender white hand pressed on the edge of the basket, it walked over with a cat step, first licked it twice with its little tongue to taste the taste, and then rubbed its cheek left and then right, looking very intimate.

Hearing the cat's call, several girls in the room ran out to see, and saw the eldest lady holding the kitten in her arms and following its hair.

Peony stepped forward and reached out to take the cat from Ruoxue's hand, "They have that kind of tiny fleas on their bodies, it's not good to bite Miss, take it out and wash it well, Miss will hold it again." ”

Ruoxue didn't stop her, and said, "Okay." "I let the peony go out with it.

A few curious maids also went out with Peony, and there were two maids in the house, Mi Pearl and Gong Yue, the two of them didn't do anything about serving tea and pouring water, and the two of them were idlers who followed Ruoxue Ruohong.

Ruoxue went back to the inner room, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged beside Ruohong, tilted her head to see her fill in various symbols in the grid, she knew a 0 in those symbols, and she didn't know the rest.

The small grid on a piece of paper has been filled in more than half, Ruoxue thought she would write for a while, she was about to order someone to get some pastries and tea, when she saw Ruohong put down the brush and said, "Okay, this is the November money deposit." Fifty eighty-four thousand one hundred and ninety-six taels of silver. ”

Ruohong turned another page of paper, wrote the sum of silver in Chinese characters and numbers on it, and pushed the account book in front of Ruoxue, asking her to see which of the two ways was easier.

Although Ruoxue didn't know what those were, she guessed that the Chinese characters on them were the same, and they were all the same amount of silver.

"Sister, which of the two is simpler?"

Ruohong pointed to the two writing methods on the paper for Ruoxue to see, she also knew that Ruoxue did not understand Arabic numerals, and the Ahrab numerals were simple to write, easy to write, and much faster to calculate than Chinese characters.

Ruoxue read the number on the number against the Chinese characters on the paper, this number was calculated by staying up for an hour last night, Ruohong even drew the grid to fill in the back, it took less than an hour.

Such a speed made her envious, "Can I learn such a calculation method?" She said.

Ruohong was stunned for a moment, what can't be learned, "It's okay, my sister wants to learn from me to teach you." She jokingly said, "You don't need to call Master." She said.

"Don't you really need to apprentice?"

Ruohong was stunned by her words, and then she laughed, she knew what Ruoxue was worried about, the ancients had special respect for those who preached and received karma, and often used "master" to respect them, Ruoxue was also struggling with whether to apprentice to the teacher, whether she could teach her after the apprenticeship, this was the crux of her concerns.

"My sister wants to learn, and my sister should give away and never hide her selfishness." Ruohong smiled and hugged her shoulders and shook it.

Ruoxue also laughed, hugged her sister with her backhand and leaned on the kang, rubbed and laughed for a while.

After dinner, Ruoxue studied mathematics with her sister, the word "mathematics" was said by Ruohong, she was very curious about what she learned in this mathematics?

Ruohong asked her to write 1, 2, and 3 when she was in school, and the teacher asked her to write a few sheets slowly.

Ruoxue recognized the ten Arabic numerals very quickly, and according to Ruohong's request, Ruoxue wrote a piece of paper, but Ruohong was drawing a circle with rouge, saying that she wrote incorrectly.

"1 is not vertical, you don't need to go out and you don't need to pause."

Ruoxue wrote it seriously again, but she was still scored zero by Ruohong, she wrote 1 as an apostrophe, it looks like a thrush for a girl, and the strokes are quite skillful, comparable to calligraphy.

Ruoxue blushed when her sister said, picked up the brush and had to write it a third time, Ruohong pressed her hand, "The brush is not suitable for writing this." As she spoke, she turned her head and shouted outside: "Pomegranate, you go to the kitchen to see if there are any goose feathers, find a few longer ones, wash them and bring them to me useful." ”

Pomegranate agreed, and turned to look for goose feathers in the big kitchen.

When Pomegranate was discharged from the hospital, she saw Peony coming in a hurry, "What's the matter, what's my sister anxious about?" She said.

"Uncle Tao was beaten again." Peony said and hurried into the courtyard.

"What?" Pomegranate muttered in a low voice, "It's not that my own young master was beaten, so I need to be in such a hurry!" ”

Peony hurriedly walked into the house, "Eldest Miss, Uncle Tao and Second Young Master were beaten. She said.

Ruoxue listened to Peony's reply and raised her head, "What's the matter?" She said.
