Chapter 238 Accounting and Reconciliation 1

"Yikes! Voiced? Ouch, come on, come on, I'll look at my little golden grandson. You can all make a sound! Grandmother look! ”

Mrs. Shang hurriedly sent auspiciousness to the old lady. This auspicious person is also a little obedient, as soon as he saw his grandmother, he actually smiled! The old lady immediately exclaimed happily:

"Little Jixiang, do you recognize grandmother?"

"Oh, oh....."

"Hahaha.... Good, good! ”

Shang Nianlan also hugged Ruyi over, Ruyi squinted at her grandmother, and then she smiled, and the old lady exclaimed happily:

"Dongmei, bring me my little lattice."

"Yes."

After a while, Dongmei came over with a box. The old lady pulled out a small drawer with several small compartments inside. There's something in every grid. The old lady selected two jade pendants from the middle. Let Qiuyue take it and wrap it in red lotus. Give two small ways:

"Today, my little grandchild and little granddaughter are the first time to say hello to my grandmother, and my grandmother will give a long red envelope!"

When the family was happy, a little girl came in and said:

"Back to the old lady, the eldest young master came to say hello to the old lady."

In a word, the room was quiet for a moment. The old lady didn't feel anything, and shouted again and again:

"Well, okay, okay, let's call in."

Shang Lin's name still hasn't changed. did not change the name according to the characters in the clan, Shang Lin came in with Wei Yue, and when he stepped forward, he knelt down to say goodbye to the old lady, and then got up and knelt down to greet Shang Dongliang. knelt down in front of Shu Yunniang and said goodbye.

It seems that this Shang Lin is very steady, and he has not squinted since he came in, and I heard that he has been studying seriously under the teaching of Xixi recently, but because he did not have a little foundation before, his progress is a little slow.

But he heard the news from Shang Ruonan, this boy studied seriously, lived seriously, and Wei Yue taught him, and he listened to it. His mother sent two letters asking him to visit her. He also went there once after consulting Shang Dongliang.

Seeing Shang Lin coming, the old lady was also very happy and said:

"Today, except for the third child, our family is complete. Then let's have a meal here today. We haven't been together as a family for a long time. ”

Although Mrs. Shang was a little reluctant, she would not dismiss the old lady's meaning, so the whole family had breakfast at the old lady's place, and the strange thing was that the old lady took Shang Ruonan to sit down beside her, and did not let Shang Lin sit next to her.

In addition to Xiao Qi's need to be taken care of, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu all eat by themselves obediently. Originally, the old lady wanted the girl to take care of Xiaoliu. Little Six Ways:

"Grandmother, I can eat it myself. The fourth sister said that she had to do her own thing. ”

"Oh good! Good! Learn more from your fourth sister. However, don't learn from your fourth sister to sleep lazy! ”

"Haha...."

Shang Dongliang is very happy, and it is also a happy event for the family to sit and eat together.

Shang Ruonan pouted and said:

"Grandmother, this is a person who has his own hobbies. I just like to sleep, and besides, I only sleep at night when I'm done, so I'll just sleep when I'm late. It's not like you have to sleep in. ”

"I think, my grandmother is right, what about the little four, she can stay up all night if she has something, and she has to sleep until noon when she has nothing to do. This is really not good. ”

Nianlan also made up for it. Shang Ruonan looked at the eldest sister with some resentment. Nianlan lowered her head with a smile and stopped talking about the fourth sister. Shang Lin, who was sitting on the side and didn't make a sound, said loudly:

"She's small, it's better to get more sleep."

Everyone looked at Shang Lin with some surprise. Shang Lin was looked at by everyone, and he was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head again and ate his food.

After eating, in front of everyone, Shang Ruonan said again:

"I decided to cultivate a general ledger! This general ledger will keep a record of all the books of our merchants. ”

"Oh, who are you going to cultivate?"

The old lady asked with great interest.

"Little six, sixth sister! From today onwards, in addition to going to the literacy class with my husband in the morning, the sixth sister will be with me in the afternoon and evening, and I will teach her at any time! ”

"But you don't know how to keep accounts, how can you teach your sixth sister?"

"Who said I wouldn't, Dad! Isn't it just to keep an account? Is it hard? ”

"Why don't we come to the scene to see who counts faster?"

The old lady came again, and said with interest:

"Compare, I'll hear how you compare!"

商若男 says:

"Why don't you call the bookkeeper? Let the bookkeeper report the accounts? ”

Shang Dongliang really didn't believe it, Xiao Si'er hadn't learned to do accounts, how could he calculate, he just really called someone to call the account room, and the sisters stood behind their mother first.

The bookkeeper was a little frightened, and he didn't know what the master told him to do, but he still wrapped the account book and waited for the master's orders at any time!

When I came in the door, I saw that the old lady was also hurriedly saluting the old lady and the old lady first, and stood aside with her hands down, waiting for their orders!

It was Shang Ruonan who spoke first:

"From the Chinese New Year to the present, this New Year is about to end, and our family's New Year's expenses should be relatively large. Do you settle your account every day or at the end of the month? ”

When Mr. Bookkeeper heard that it was the young head of the family who spoke, he was a little confused in his heart, but he still returned seriously:

"Back to the young master, my silver account is settled every three days, and the material account is settled every five days."

Shang Dongliang, who was listening on the side, was afraid that Shang Ruonan would not understand what a silver account was and what a material account was. Hurriedly explained:

"If you are a man, the silver account refers to the entry and exit of money. The ledger is some of the accounts that keep things in the house. ”

In fact, Shang Ruonan heard that this was also the case, so he nodded and said:

"You take out the silver account, start with the expenses of our family on the first day of the first month of the first month, and report them one by one. Don't report your summary. Only report the number you record each day. ”

"Yes, young master."

As a slave, what the master says, he will do what he does. The tent was born to a family, and his father was the merchant's old tent. Since the old lady's generation, their family has been keeping accounts for merchants.

And because their family knows how to be a tent, what should be guarded is their own mouth. Therefore, their family is still a very favored family. The person who is valued by the master will also have a higher income. Therefore, the family can be regarded as the best among the slaves and maids of this merchant.

And his son is now learning to keep accounts. I'm going to carry on this business.

According to Shang Ruonan's instructions, the tent room picked up a book and began to read it. Shang Ruonan didn't do anything, just sat there and listened seriously. Today is the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month. And the tent was finished. looked up at Shang Ruonan. Shang Ruonan said:

"The total amount of money that came out of the account was three thousand four hundred and seventy-one and twenty-two pieces of silver, and the amount that came into the account was four thousand five hundred taels. This month there should be one thousand and twenty-eight twenty-seven dollars and seven cents of silver left. Can it match your reckoning? I don't know how much I have left over from last month, but if I do, it will add up to the silver you have now. Right? ”
