Chuxiu lowered his head all the way, and walked back to Zhiyanxuan from memory, and no one was embarrassed on the way. She remembered that before going to see Mrs. Tai, Zhuying said that Yun Ci wanted to see her, so she thought about waiting outside the door of the study first.

The layout of Zhiyanxuan is concise, not as cumbersome and complicated as imagined. Izuku walked in the garden for a long time, and found that there was no smell of fat powder here, and the decoration was very tough, even if there were a few slaves and maids in the garden, they were also dressed simply.

This discovery made Izuku a little delighted. After walking like this for a long time, Zhiyanxuan's layout was already familiar to him, but the entire garden was visited, and Chuxiu couldn't find the location of the study, so he had to return to his courtyard first.

Fortunately, the heart was still there, and Chuxiu compared to her for a long time, and Dao Ming thought in his heart, so he smiled lightly: "The master's study is not in Zhiyan Xuan." ”

He gestured as he spoke, as if it was difficult to describe in words: "The master's study is a single garden, connected to Zhiyanxuan, two in and two out, passing through the side hall. Well, there it is. He pointed to his position.

Hearing this, Izuku nodded, went back to his room and put away the earrings first, and then touched them himself. During the period, I met a few nursing homes, but I was also polite, it should have been explained by Zhuying in advance. She found the location of the study according to her indifferent instructions, and only then did she understand why Yun Ci had set aside a separate garden for the study.

"Qingxinzhai" is the name of this garden, and there are several houses inside, all of which are occupied by books, and small signs are hung outside the houses, which are divided into categories. There are several huge boulders in the garden, which are flat and sunny, which should be used to dry books.

In addition, there is a huge empty room, in the center of which are four long mahogany square tables, on which are placed eight sets of pen inkstones, and more than 40 carved sandalwood chairs are placed around it, which should be used for reception or discussion.

Izuku stood outside the room, leaning sideways and looking in. As soon as I glanced at it a few times, I heard a joking question behind me: "Stiff neck?" ”

Izuku turned around and looked back, just in time to see Zhuying pushing Yun Qi into the garden. She smiled at her rudeness, and then greeted her, gesturing and asking, "You are looking for me?" ”

"yes, I'm looking for you." Yun Ci said as he motioned to Zhuying to push himself into the small study, and said to Xiu: "Come with me." ”

When I heard this, I found that there was no threshold in this garden, just like Zhiyanxuan, all of which were gentle slopes. Zhuying smoothly pushed Yun Ci into the small study, and retreated without a word, leaving only Xiu to serve beside him.

Yun Ciwu took a booklet from the case and said to Zhuxiu: "This is your household registration in Fangzhou, as well as the deed of sale in Yunfu, you can take a look first." ”

Household registration? Yun Ci's movements were so fast! Out of Xiu hurriedly took the booklet and flipped through it, there were only a few strokes on it, and it was the sixteen-year life of a woman named "Out of Xiu", which was complete, and even the names of her parents and her ancestral home were clearly recorded. Meticulously written, with no loopholes.

The yellowed paper of this booklet must have been some years old. If it weren't for the fact that Izuku was the person involved, she could hardly believe that it was a forgery.

No, it's not actually a forgery, although Izuxiu's identity is forged, but this household register is real. It is not only covered with the special seal of Fangzhou's household registration, but also a variety of anonymous red clay seals and handprints, which should be the testimony of the person who handled it.

Izumi was a little overwhelmed with the booklet, if it weren't for Yun Ci gently tapping on the table to wake her up, she would still be immersed in this inexplicable taste.

"Do you remember everything?" Yun Ci asked with a soft smile.

Izuku nodded.

"Then I'll test you." Yun Ci took out two pieces of rice paper from the case as he spoke, handed them to Xiu, and then said: "You study the ink first, what I ask, what you write." ”

Out of Xiu received the order, poured water with his sleeves, and began to grind the ink.

"How many seals are there in the family register?" Yun Ci spoke at the right time.

Izumi was slightly surprised when she heard this, she thought that Yun Ci would ask her about the matters recorded in the booklet, but she didn't expect that the question would be so off-topic. But she still thought for a moment, and wrote, "Nine." ”

"What are the household registration officials in Fangzhou?"

"The third."

"Good." Yun Ci seemed to be very satisfied, and asked again with a light smile: "There is one last question - from Yinxiang Drunken Moon to Zhiyan Xuan, how many times in and how many folds?" ”

This question...... Chuxiu was already a little crying and laughing, so he simply drew it hastily. How many times you enter and fold, where you pass by, and which courtyards, you can remember exactly what you need.

At this point, Yun Ci's eyes revealed a little praise: "You have never forgotten? ”

Izuku thought about it for a while, and then wrote: "No, it's just that I have a good memory." ”

"You also know modesty." Yun Ci smiled even more, just like the spring breeze in March, as if it could blow and dye red peach blossoms. He tapped his right index finger on the desk a few times, and suddenly said to himself, "It looks like I'm going to adjust my plan." ”

Izumi didn't understand what he meant, and slightly opened his lips to make an export type: "What? ”

Yun Ci didn't continue, just pointed to the blank page of the household registration book, and said with a smile: "Write your name here, press the handprint, and you will be from my Yunfu." ”

"Why is there no word in the deed of sale?" Chu Xiu first pointed to the household registration book, and then raised the pen and asked.

"I haven't had time to write yet. How? Think I'm lying to you? Yun Ci's gaze suddenly rippled, and he teased: "Afraid that I will sell you to human traffickers?" ”

Izuku laughed. It's true that she's overthinking. The household registration books were all purchased by Yun Ci's people, and the booklet also said that Xiu Qiren was a maid in Yunfu, so what if he pressed his own handprint? Left and right are also true.

Thinking of this, Izuku took a pen and wrote his name in the blank space of the booklet, and dipped the thumb of his right hand in red clay, and carefully pressed the handprint on the name.

Yun Ci took the opportunity to receive the booklet to his case, and said: "You are a person who knows Yanxuan, and you don't have to go out of your way to meet anyone except your mother." In the future, at the family banquet, if you meet, you will naturally know each other. ”

He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you explained everything?" How many aunts, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law? ”

Izuku nodded, thought about it, and wrote again: "The names of several masters and young ladies are very good. ”

"It's all from my father." Yun Ci didn't seem to want to mention this matter more, so he only replied with this sentence, then took away his smile and said, "Today, when you first enter the mansion, you should rest first." From tomorrow onwards, your errand is to serve pen and ink in the pure heart fast, and come on time every hour and three o'clock. ”

Out of Xiu salute and receive orders.

"Also," Yun Ci looked at her and said, "I'll teach you how to plan tomorrow." ”

Going to disk? It was a bit sudden, and Izuku's eyes widened to indicate surprise.

"Didn't you say yes before you came to Fangzhou?" Yun Ci's face was calm, and he looked at her and asked, "Do you want to grind and write in the study for the rest of your life?" ”

In fact, it is not bad to grind and write for a lifetime, but it is obviously not practical. Yun Ci is also right, accounting is always a personal skill, and you will not suffer a loss if you learn it. Thinking of this, Xiu bowed to Yun Ci and thanked him, and then Shi Shiran retreated.

After that, for half a month, Izuku followed Yun Ci to study in Qingxin Zhai every day, first planning to make plates, reciting formulas, and then reading some simple accounts. Yun Ci was very surprised by Izumi's memory and comprehension, and gradually taught it faster.

By the end of March, Izuku would be able to read the account book, and it was an annual account. She didn't think that this was much ability, but in Yun Ci's opinion, it was already considered "talented", especially since Izumi was still a daughter.

How many women in this world are illiterate all their lives, and those who can read and hyphenate are mostly beautiful women. Although some women have shown their heads to run their businesses, they are also small businesses. Yunfu is a giant in the world, and the complexity of the account book records and the huge amount of money involved are rare in the world.

And Izuku was able to understand an old account from two years ago in just 20 days, and it was still the annual account of the brocade workshop, how could this not make Yun Ci admire? The silent girl in front of her seems to be learning and never getting tired of it, and it is even more rare to touch the bypass!

Moreover, she herself is not proud of this, as if she is unaware of her own intelligence, and blindly humbly asks for advice.

This made Yun Ci have to adjust the plan again and again, originally only wanted to teach her some simple bookkeeping methods, but now, it has unconsciously increased the difficulty.

One learns deeply, and the other teaches happily. Yun Ci knows that if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that no matter how advanced the account book is, it will be difficult to fall out of Xiu. It's just a matter of time.

At the same time, Izuku also found that in recent days, there have been more and more people coming and going in and out of Yunfu, or rather, there are more and more strange faces in Qingxinzhai. As a consequence of this phenomenon, Yun Ci began to order her to avoid it, and even did not summon her to serve in Qingxin Zhai for a whole day.

Izuku is becoming more and more idle, but the strange thing is that in the entire Zhiyan Xuan, others are getting busier and busier. Especially the light heart and shallow rhyme, I seem tired every day.

This phenomenon is even more pronounced in the last days towards the end of March. Looking at the hurried hands of others, but looking at her own leisure, she gradually felt out of place, as if there was an invisible barrier to isolate her.

Izuku didn't like this feeling, and hesitated for a whole day before he saw the opportunity to ask the reason lightly.

How do you know that he smiled lightly: "You don't know this, our Yunfu is the number one giant in the world, and there are countless side branches and shops in various places." In the past, the managers of various places and industries were all coming to report and reply to the accounts before the year, but in recent years, the business has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more children from the side branches. ”

"The side branches from all over the country visited Mrs. Tai and her master a year ago, which is an old tradition of hundreds of years, and it is not easy to change. Therefore, since the year before last, Mrs. Tai has made the decision to postpone the accounting time of various localities and industries to the end of March. In this way, the stewards can wait until the new year to leave, and report the annual accounts of the previous year and the plan for the next year together, killing two birds with one stone. Lightly explained to Izuku.

Only then did Izuku figure out that the faces of the past few days were the Yun family's stewards in various places. In this way, I didn't understand the situation when I first arrived, and I couldn't speak, so I really couldn't help much. Izumi comforted herself, and felt a lot better.

"I've been busy greeting the stewards these days, and I'm going to be tired." complained lightly, and said, "The master is in the council hall now, I have to go and serve, so I will go first." He hurriedly took a sip of tea, and in the blink of an eye he had run out of the house.

Seeing this, I felt helpless, and I wanted to find something to do and give the little maids a hand, but who knew that after walking around the garden, several little maids were not in the room.

Izuku couldn't help but sigh and prepared to go back to the house to practice the planning board. As soon as this thought arose, he heard a knock on the door, accompanied by a rather modest and polite male voice: "Excuse me, how is Hou Ye's Qingxin Zhai going?" ”
