Jian Shi packed his luggage and prepared to go to the imperial examination, Dai Youan gave Jian Shi a wooden card and a letter, and said: "If you want to enter the office, it is better to go to Cheng Quite a staff first, if you expose your identity in the future on the way to the imperial examination, it will be a crime of deception, if you are recommended as an official as a staff member, you don't have to worry about it, the prime minister owes me a favor, you take this token to him and hand over the letter to him, he will arrange it for you, but" Dai Anyou paused, "If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a staff member, you will be in the same boat as the Prime Minister from now on." Would you like to? ”

Jian Shi's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "Let me think about it." Dai Anyou glanced at Jian Shi deeply. Decide for yourself! Then he muttered softly, "But it seems that going to the General's Mansion is no different from going to the Prime Minister's Mansion." With that, he left. Jian Shi didn't understand the meaning of the latter sentence, but he saw that Dai Anyou had already left, and it was not easy to stop him and ask him clearly.

Jian Shi put down the things in his hand, leaned back on the chair, lazily supported his chin, sighed, the royal family is declining, the emperor is useless, reusing eunuchs, listening to villains, and the people are not happy, however, the imperial power is gradually scattered, and now the prime minister and the general's palace firmly grasp the government, the emperor's only role is to be a mascot, the key is that the prime minister and the general's palace are loyal to the country and unwilling to usurp the throne, and the two sides have become a constraint.

The more important reason is that the Central Plains region has been eyed by foreign peoples, the nomads in the northwest, the Japanese pirates across the sea in the east, and the ice field area in the south bounded by the Jielian Mountains to the Yuanshan Mountains, these regimes have developed rapidly in these years, and have always regarded the Central Plains as fat, and the Central Plains region is vast and rich, which is the paradise for those of them who have always lived in barren areas, which is also the reason why the prime minister and the general's palace dare not usurp the throne, once the civil strife begins, the foreigners will take advantage of this to go deep into the Central Plains.

Obviously, Prime Minister Wei and General Xiao both know this truth, but if they want to become the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jian Shi still feels that they should be cautious, the Prime Minister's Mansion is high and powerful, and the slightest mistake will fall into a place where it is difficult to move an inch, and the General's Mansion is the same, there is no difference between the two in this regard, but crises and risks coexist, so take a gamble. Jian Shi narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about it, he packed up his things and prepared to leave, but Jian Shi didn't take Dai Anyou's wooden card and letter, joking, how could she return such a big favor.

Of course, a small person can't see the prime minister, and she hasn't thought about having a prime minister, she doesn't know the prime minister, if she rashly goes to the prime minister and says: "I want to be your staff", are you sure she won't be kicked out as a liar? Jian Shi didn't want to make this assumption, and all the knowledge about the prime minister came from rumors, rumors were not credible, she wanted to understand them, and then think about what to do.

"I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is looking for Mr. Bookkeeper, the kind of person who is good at arithmetic and can write," said a man who carried a dish.

"Hey, don't think about these places, their bookkeeper still has to read, as for you" The other person sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, I don't know a few big characters, and I still want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Let's go, let's go, stop daydreaming. ”。

The other couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Jian Shi's eyes lit up, and he was really lucky. This is an opportunity.

Jian Shi hurriedly walked up and stopped the two people, "May I ask uncle, is the news you just said that the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to recruit Mr. Fang is true?" ”

Jian Shi looked a little excited, and the two looked back at Jian Shi, "Of course it's true, this is what the cousin of my third uncle's second uncle said, he is a small servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion" Jian Shi was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "So, where is the Prime Minister's Mansion recruiting people?" ”

The person who spoke looked at Jane: "Childe, you don't look like you're dressed like you're poor, how can you want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a bookkeeper."

Jian Shi's face was slightly embarrassed: "Hey, it's hard to say, I was a scholar, and I came from my hometown to catch the exam, but the money was stolen by a thief on the way." Saying that, she sighed deeply, and the two looked at her with pity on their faces.

"From here, after two bends, there is a bookstore, where the Prime Minister's Mansion is recruiting. Go ahead, you might have to leave later. Jian Shi looked grateful: "Thank you, uncle, for telling me." ”

Jian Shi found the bookstore that the two of them said, and saw a young man with clear eyebrows who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, Jian Shi hurriedly walked up: "May I ask if the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to recruit Mr. Bookkeeper?" ”

When the little guy heard this, he looked at Jian Shi: "Childe, do you want to respond?" You don't look like a bad guy, do you?"

Jian Shi said the original words again, and the little guy looked at Jian Shi suspiciously: "You wait, I'll call the housekeeper over." After saying that, he ran to the back of the bookstore.

Jian Shi waited in the same place, and saw an old man with a simple face, but his eyes flashed shrewdly from time to time, and the old man looked at Jian Shi very eagerly: "What should I call my son?" ”

"The contemptible surname is Jane." The corners of Jane's mouth curled and hooked, and he said without losing etiquette.

"It turned out to be Mr. Jian, I don't know why you are here?" The old man asked knowingly, Jian Shi smiled and didn't answer, the old man took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jian Shi, "Just answer the question on it." ”

Jian Shi took the pen and began to write, and the answer was finished in about a quarter of an hour, and the old man was a little shocked by the speed of Jian Shi's answer, and looked at the answer and the standard score was not bad.

"Where is Young Master Jian from?" The old man looked at Jane inquiringly.

"Suizhou".

It turned out to be there, that makes sense, the old man stroked his beard and thought.

The little guy next to her heard that Jian Shi came from Suizhou and wanted to look at her like a fool, and the scholars in Suizhou could also think that they were studying in those three colleges, and the person who came out of that place was not a celebrity, and this actually came here as a bookkeeper, even the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have that much ability! Otherwise, no one would have come here to apply until now. However, I don't know about this situation for a while..... How did she know that reading people are so precious!

"Hey, the original bookkeeper in our house, the ability is capable, but he is too greedy, it's a pity." Jian Shi smiled and didn't say anything. The old man looked at Jian Shi's expression, and the words were all said here, he believed that Jian Shi was a smart person, of course it didn't matter if he wasn't a smart person, it was a big deal to change another one, it was just a loss of some finances. The old man shrewdly touched his beard.

The old man seemed to be afraid that she would regret it, and hurriedly asked her to sign the so-called contract, "Three years? Jian Shi was a little surprised, looked at the old man with a little anger, and then pointed to himself You let me do it here for three years? Do you think it's possible"?

The old man smiled awkwardly, and took out another piece of paper, which said one year, Jian Shi smiled, "Old man, I'll try to do it for a month first!" If I'm not suitable for this, I can find someone again! ”

The old man thought about it, after all, the treatment of the Prime Minister's Mansion was so good, and after the experience, he didn't believe that she would not stay. Each of them has his own calculations.

Jian Shi is holding a set of coarse cloth clothes, holding an abacus in his hand, he really looks like a bookkeeper, if it is not too delicate and unconvincing.

"The management of the account room is a major matter, the money in the house must be cleared one by one, all the accounts, and all these accounts will be saved, such as some red and white ceremonial gifts and monthly money issued by the family are to be recorded separately."

Because the original bookkeeper's greed in the house was overdiscovered, everything fell on the housekeeper's head, and he couldn't open his eyes when he was busy, and now he finally came to a scholar, or Suizhou, and his ability must not be questioned, and he should be "yes" at a glance. The butler nodded in satisfaction.

And Dai Anyou, who didn't know that Jian Shi came to this place to be the bookkeeper, looked at the two things in his hand and shook his head helplessly, knowing that this kid was unwilling to accept his affection, but he didn't know where he would choose to go and which path to choose? If he knew that Jian Shi had come here to be the bookkeeper, Mr. would probably scold. Let you go to the office, you would be better to be a bookkeeper for others, is this a one-level thing?

Of course, Dai Anyou didn't know, but Jian Shi was very satisfied with this new job, so that he could clearly understand the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many things could be pushed out of the account book, but Jian Shi knew that the really useful account book could not reach her hands, but the initial purpose was just to understand whether the Prime Minister's Mansion was worth her service, and as for the privacy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was better to know less.
