"There will be a New Year in two or three days, and everyone here at this juncture has a family waiting to take care of it. Reasoning, this is really not the time to drag you to work. After Nian Sheng finished saying these two sentences, the thick-skinned one at the bottom really nodded in agreement, "But, have you thought about it?" What happens if no one talks about it today? ”

In the account room, there is an old man who has been working for the Malhan family for many years, and has been serving since the old lady, and he has always been dissatisfied with Niansheng, a little hairy girl in charge of most of the family, and at this time, he finally had the opportunity to speak out, and naturally he will not let it go.

This person still pretended to be respectful, got up and arched his hand in a voice: "It's not a big deal, I was busy a few years ago, and I forgot about an omission, which is reasonable." When it is checked after the year, it will naturally appear, less and shorter, and it will be made up. They are all digging the ground to beg for a living, and the Zhuangzi is not short of eating and drinking. At the end of the speech, there were always people who nodded and those who shook their heads, but none of them responded loudly.

Nian Sheng turned his head to the one who spoke, his voice was not high, but he said clearly: "What you said is reasonable or not, I will not comment." I only want to ask you, if you miss this reward from the festival and make it up to you after the festival, will you agree? ”

"Why did you miss me? I've worked hard for the house for a year, and I deserve it. Miss, if you say it's leaky, it's leaky, so how can my family go to the New Year? As soon as the words fell, this person called out anxiously, as if he was afraid that he would really be detained.

Nian Sheng stopped talking, just looked at him and smiled.

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a few words, and then laughed one after another.

The person who spoke saw everyone appearing, and only then did he react for a while, and he actually said the sound of the voice, and he couldn't help but be angry and ashamed, but he was very wrong, so he had to sit down angrily and no longer make a sound.

Nian Sheng didn't pursue his words again, but said another: "It's really short, it's not impossible to make up for it after the year, but this is the next step." Originally, Zhuangzi everywhere was waiting for these New Year's Holidays, and then sent them to people after the New Year, what was the use? As the person I said just now, the people of Zhuangzi may not necessarily point to this thing for the New Year, but what you thought of, didn't the people who made this rule think of it back then? ”

No one dared to take it, and if it wasn't good, it would be a crime of bullying the ancestors of the Zhaojia clan.

"It's not a lot, it's just a favor. It always has to warm people's hearts, so that people will be willing to work hard, right? "I've seen everyone in the room." It's not a big deal when to send it, it's a big deal to chill people's hearts. ”

There are also bold people, although they feel justified after listening to Niansheng's words, they are still not convinced, so they ask: "What about the Zhuangzi entry that was omitted?" ”

"Which of you is counting that missing entry right now? Raise your hand and let everyone in the room take a look. An imperceptible cold light flashed in Niansheng's eyes, and then he asked with a smile.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, but not a single one raised their hands.

Nian Sheng walked back to the bookcase with a small bowl of noodles and sat down, picked a chopstick noodle while saying casually: "Is this place in, but I'm really not in a hurry to calculate, and I will calculate it after the first month." After all, there is no food and drink in this house to support a large family, does it? After saying that, the noodles were eaten in his mouth, as casual as gossip.

"As you said just now, when the tiger is still napping, who can not make mistakes?" Nian Sheng eats it himself, and lets everyone eat it. "Eat it while it's hot, and it won't taste like it later. Of course, if someone is really short of money and takes it to borrow one or two, it doesn't matter, just make up for it sooner or later. Nian Sheng's words seem to be unintentional, but in fact, they are knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, no matter what is the reason for missing the input, tonight's words are put here, let people figure it out for themselves.

Those who really had the idea of fighting this matter hurriedly went to pull the noodles in their bowls at this time, only worried that they would be a little uncomfortable and make others suspicious.

Nian Sheng pointed out that she had filled a little bit for herself, so she quickly finished eating, and watching everyone eat, she said again: "Actually, the biggest mistake in this matter is me, your accounts are all handed over to me to take over, I haven't seen it for a long time......" said and put the tea bowl that had just been served heavily on the bookcase, and then continued to speak: "It's me who can't live in the ranks." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up.

"Finished eating?" Nian Sheng didn't pay attention to the crowd, but asked, "Let's withdraw when you're all ready." Everyone is refreshed, and tonight has worked hard to get these done. If it is right tomorrow morning, five coins of silver per person will come out of my courtyard, even if I ask you to bear my mistakes. ”

The age of everyone here is the grandfather and uncle of Niansheng, and tonight I was slapped by a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years and held a sweet jujube in the palm of my hand, and I really felt a little emotional.

After that, the supper was also used, and everyone also recognized the truth that if you can't finish your work, you can't finish it. One by one, they simply threw off their arms, and made a ruthless abacus, and the leisurely laziness on weekdays was gone. Slipping all night, the lights in the account room have not been extinguished, and all kinds of sounds have not stopped.

Finally, everything was sorted out before and after breakfast, and even a Zhuangzi with an omission was also calculated. After nearly an hour of review, Nian Sheng announced that this time the matter was over, and said to everyone that they had worked hard, and then ordered them to disperse and rest.

Nian Sheng sat in the account room all night, either checking the account books, or accounting for the purchase in the past few years, and he didn't close his eyes all night.

Although the hanging toad followed and served, she didn't have much to do after all, so she fell asleep in the chair in the corner in the middle of the night.

Nian Sheng saw that she slept sweetly, and didn't call her anymore, and did some things like serving tea and pouring water. It wasn't until the chanting beat everyone that they went to call the toad up, "Wake up, wake up." Come back with me. ”

The hanging toad rubbed his eyes and stretched, and asked in a confused voice, "What time is Miss?" ”

"In a little while, it will be the beginning." Nian Sheng also twisted his stiff neck and replied.

"What?" The hanging toad hurriedly got down from the chair, "Why is it all this hour?" Miss, why don't you call it a slave? ”

Nian Sheng smiled and took the cloak to put on herself, "You sleep like a pig, and it's okay to be horizontal and vertical, what do I tell you to do?" ”

The hanging toad went over to help Niansheng tie the cloak, and stuffed her with a hand stove before helping the person to go back.

The snow fell overnight and stopped at dawn. The snow on the road has been swept aside by the servants, and looking at the white expanse all around, although it is difficult, people also feel a lot more refreshed.

As he walked, he didn't forget to say to the hanging toad, "Guan Zhu won't go to the study today, if he comes to the courtyard in the morning, you have to stop it for me." Otherwise, if that kid makes a fuss, I'll have to stay up until the night before I can sleep. ”

Hanging Toad responded with a smile, "Miss, don't worry." What did you say today, the slave and maid also stopped the little young master for you. ”

As soon as the words fell, a slap came.

Guan Zhu flashed out from the other end of the path, wrapped like a ball, and stumbled forward with Niansheng, shouting as he ran: "Seventh sister, seventh sister, you see how good the snow is today, there is no wind yet, let's have a snowball fight in the garden?" ”

Nian Sheng rolled his eyes unabashedly when he heard this, and without saying a word, he flashed to the side, dodging the attack of Guan Zhu.

If it weren't for the quick eyes of the people who followed, Guan Zhu's big ball would have been plunged into the snowdrift.

Guan Zhu was all indifferent to his thoughts, turned around and pounced again.

This time, I didn't dare to hide anymore, I was afraid that I would really fall this baby brother, and I would inevitably be nagged by Eniang, and he pulled his cloak and coquettishly himself.

"Young master, don't make trouble. Miss hasn't slept all night in the account room, and now that she's just done, why don't you let her go back and rest first, and then play with you in the afternoon? At the critical moment, the toad stepped forward, squatted down and gently pulled the switch post and pulled the hand of the cloak, and coaxed him with a smile.

Guan Zhu twisted his body and said to the hanging toad: "There is still something to do in the afternoon, in the afternoon, I plan to let the seventh sister take me to the market to visit and buy some gadgets to play at home for the New Year." ”

"What other gadgets are you missing?" Nian Sheng listened and pulled Guan Zhu's ears directly, "Your slingshot Trojan horses, leather balls, bamboo dragonflies, and other messy objects can fill a room!" What more do you want? Did you have a surplus a month ago? If you don't see what you are doing seriously, you will know that you are a loser. Nian Sheng didn't sleep all night, and now he was sleepy, and he was inevitably impetuous, and he became heavy when he spoke.

After a few words, Guan Zhu's eyes were red, and he grinned aggrievedly and wanted to cry.

The hanging toad had to play a round again, coaxed this and said that, and a few people stood in the yard so lively.

It was easy for Niansheng's anger to subside a little, Guan Zhu stopped crying, the sister and brother reluctantly reached an agreement, and Niansheng gave money to let the reliable elder lead Guan Zhu to the street to buy things.

"It's going to be a day, and the opening is limited, so you can buy whatever you want." Nian Sheng gave up the money to live in peace, but he was still a little angry in his heart.

Guan Zhucai doesn't care if his seventh sister's face is good or not, as long as his wish is satisfied, he is happy.

So even if the sister and brother said goodbye, Guan Zhu went to Mrs. Marhan's main courtyard, and went back to his small courtyard to make up for sleep.

After walking for a while, before Nian Sheng could open his mouth and complain to the hanging toad, he heard someone hurriedly chasing after him. Nian Sheng thought it was Guan Zhu thinking about something, so he simply stopped and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" It's all given silver, isn't it okay? Is this a no-play? ”

The person who came was stunned for a moment, hurriedly leaned over and saluted Niansheng, and then said breathlessly: "Miss Seven, someone is looking for you at the back door, please come over and see you." ”

Nian Sheng and Hang Toad glanced at each other, wondering who could be waiting for them at the back door at this time.
