On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, girls who are twelve years old in the Tang family gather in their grandmother's house to settle accounts. Their food, clothing and expenses are all on these accounts.

Each girl is responsible for part of the accounts, and then gets together to check the general manager. She can make two or three days of trouble every year - there will always be one or two girls' accounts that cannot be matched. In this case, Huanyan usually helps solve the problem.

Now Huanyan has been married, and there are fewer such enthusiastic people among her sisters, and there are more than a large part of the accounts that Huanyan is responsible for. Now they are all complaining.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was lucky. She caught a carriage and sedan chair yesterday. This part was easier to make. She finished it in one day yesterday. She wanted to help Yanran smile, but she was afraid that the formulas listed on the paper would be too weird and controversial. In addition, the old lady looked over and said, "If you have calculated it, go back first."

So Xiaoxiao and Shu Yan went back first.

——Now, Ruicai saw such a lively scene and was stunned for a moment. She thought to herself that the Tang family is worthy of being a merchant. By the end of the year, she actually handled the accounts like this. Every girl must participate.

Thinking about my own family, the accounts are relatively simple, and my two cousins ​​are difficult to settle accounts, so they are naturally all over my head. I have learned experience every year.

Ruicai walked up to pay homage to the old lady: "It has been several heavy snow this winter, and it seems like it will be a good year. Now it is the year. I wish the old lady a good year and wish her health and longevity!"

The old lady pulled Ruicai's hand and asked him to sit beside her: "I like Ruicai's generous and open-minded look!" As she said that, she pulled out a red gold-inlaid eight-treasure harmonious Ruyi hairpin from her bun as a gift to Ruicai.

Ruicai didn't feel embarrassed and took it with both hands: "This is a blessing for the old lady!"

The Tang sisters all looked at each other. The old lady never had the habit of giving her body accessories to her younger generations. I remember the last time it was the first time I met Jin Baodi...

Thinking of this, the sisters have a different view of Ruicai.

Yanran's mind was the fastest. She had no brothers to rely on, and she couldn't count on what her parents would do for her. Now she bet on her cousin.

Although Jin Baodi, the sister-in-law in the lobby, is smart and capable, she is also a little tricky. It is a bit tiring to deal with such people. Now, judging by the old lady's momentum towards Ruicai, this one is about to become her second sister-in-law. Yanran still has a good understanding of Ruicai. In addition, she has been together for a few days in the Dawangzhuang. She knows that this one is refreshing and straightforward. Compared with Jin Baodi, Ruicai is easier to get along with.

Tang Lihuan's industry is the largest in the Tang family's generation. With just financial resources, this uncle can give the Lu family a warning.

Yanran smiled slightly, and simply stopped paying off the bill. She browsed and pouted: "Sister Wei, come and help me! I'm stuck in my head, and I can't even recognize Yi23!"

The old lady laughed at everyone with one sentence, and the old lady laughed: "It's just that Liu Yatou has many strange words, and her head is still stuck. Are you going to steam steamed buns?"

Yanran had already brought a cup of red date tea to Ruicai: "As long as my beautiful head, it is steamed, and it tastes sweet!"

After saying a word, Ruicai took the tea and said, "The girls in the Tang family are so smart and exquisite, and they are as witty as pearls. They are not like our sisters in the Wei family, they are all wooden."

Yanran quickly resumed: "We are all embroidered pillows that are not responsible for the trouble. A lot of people can't even calculate the bill. Since Sister Wei has eaten my tea, come and help me~"

The old lady said, "Since that's the case, Ruicai will help this little poor man check the account."

Ruicai got the old lady's order: "Since that's the case, Ruicai dared to look through the Tang family's accounts."

The old lady smiled: "Every household's back house has such trivial accounts, and there is nothing mysterious."

Ruicai looked at it and smiled. Seeing that the other party was making a cheerful expression to him, he walked to the table and sat down at Yanran's seat just now to check Yanran's account.

Now there are still Haner and Zhan Yan sitting next to the table. Haner ignored others and just kept his head busy. Now his head is almost blown up. Since he started to handle the accounts, his head will explode once every year.

Zhan Yan was a little distracted by Ruicai's arrival. She looked at Ruicai for a long time and felt how this person was doing. The image of the village girl before was deeply rooted, as if that was her true form.

His second brother has been called a shopping mall genius since childhood. He looks like a handsome talent. Why did he end up in the hands of a village girl? Zhan Yan smiled gently with his nose and wanted to see what kind of flowers Wei Ruicai could make today?

"The account is only one or two different from the actual amount of silver?" Ruicai's voice sounded softly in the room, and it didn't seem abrupt with the sound of abacus next to it.

Yanran nodded hurriedly: "I was just here yesterday. I calculated it several times today, but it was still one or two less! Why would Sister Wei help me check it again? Maybe I trembled my hand and I did not calculate it wrong."

Ruicai shook his head, "Since the number of calculating each time is the same, it is impossible to calculate it wrong. It should be that there is a problem with the account number."

"The number of accounts?" Yanran was a little scared when she looked at the thick stack of accounts, "How can I find this? Just one tael of silver!"

Yanran recorded the population accounts, that is, the accounts of the Tang family's purchases and sells slaves, which also included the monthly silver to the slaves and some rewards recorded in the public account.

Ruicai took these accounts and sighed: "Your family is really a big business, and there are six major accounts in the population alone. If all accounts are recorded by one person, it is really hard to remember them."

Xiaoxiao looked at her grandmother's expression and could almost read what she thought: First, let you see the family background of our Tang family; second, let's see if you have the ability to care about everyone.

It seems that the old lady is sure that Tang Lihuan's business will grow bigger and bigger, and that her family will prosper and her population will prosper.

Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed for his grandmother, coughed gently, and drank another sip of red date tea.

Yanran was really worried. It was very troublesome to find this tael of silver from the account, and maybe it was hidden in some corner.

Ruicai only took out the three books in the next: "Your residence must be the same rule. The general account will be checked every six months. Then the accounts for the first half of the year must be correct, and the problem will be in the second half of the year."

Even if there are three big books in the second half of the year, Yanran was still dumbfounded: "This account corresponds to a large box of documents! Three books account means three big boxes! Amitabha, we have to make the New Year right now!"

Ruicai was silent, picked up the account books and looked through them page by page. Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious. What clues could you tell by just flipping the account books directly?

Soon, Ruicai pointed to one of the accounts and said, "Why did this girl named Zaocai get rid of the money together with the two taels of silver she bought?"

The old lady said, "That's right. This soapberry was bought and recorded in the account. Before the job was distributed, she found that the girl had a sore on her body. She was afraid that she would stain others. She found that she found the man's teeth again that day and returned the person, so she simply called off the money."

Ruicai nodded and said, "It is very taboo to apply the hook and change the account, and you can't escape the laziness at all. You must record every time you go out and go in. Since the girl has returned, you can just record the refunded money and earn another income."

Qingsi nodded repeatedly: "It's a careless servant, Miss Wei is talking about it."

Ruicai's hand was not stopping when he flipped the account book, and after a while, a problem appeared on another account: "This girl named Hongling, check the deeds when she bought her."

Yanran cooperated very much and found the box corresponding to the account. She opened it and searched for a while. She quickly took out a document: "It's really strange that this list actually stuck three in a row!"

These are three body sales contracts that are stuck together, all about a girl named Hongling. This person was first bought into the mansion by two taels of silver, then sold out by three taels of silver, and finally bought into the mansion by four taels of silver.

Qingsi must explain again: "This Hongling was bought during the Zhongyuan Festival sacrifice. The skill of making snacks is pretty good. After the sacrifice, Madam Zheng from the big kitchen said she was a little lazy, and in addition, the big kitchen had to cut a group of people, so she sold her for three taels of silver. On the eve of August, she did not hire a short-term worker who made moon cakes, so she had to buy two people from the human teeth first. Hongling happened to be inside, and she was good at making moon cake fillings. Even if her value rose to four taels of silver, she still bought it back."

Ruicai showed Qingsi the account book in her hand: "So, Hongling's transaction was changed from two liang to four liang."

Qingsi's face turned red: "You shouldn't be lazy and easy to save money like this."

Ruicai smiled and said, "You can't remember all the accounts of such a family. July and August are another busy month. You are often hired and bought people. Sometimes you can't remember them. There are also some changes to the original account. However, if you can't calculate it clearly at that time, you might leave it to the last dead account."

Ruicai took out Hongling's order again: "Two liang out, three liang in, four liang out, three liang out, three liang out, but this account was changed to four liang, but it was just about one liang out?!"

Qingsi and Yanran both breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's the difference here!"

Qingsi hurriedly knelt in front of the old lady and apologized: "I am negligent and careless, and almost made a big mistake! Please punish the old lady!"

Yun Pian also knelt down immediately: "I have made a mistake in managing the money. If the money and the accounts of that month are in line with each other, the accounts will not be delayed until the end of the year!"

The old lady waved her hand and made both of them get up: "You two have been in charge of many things over the years. One has remembered the account incorrectly and the other has counted the money incorrectly. But the two have been wrongly together. If it weren't for Miss Wei's keen eyes today, she might have to go one by one, and it will be right until the lights are held."

The two girls hurried to Xie Ruicai again, and Ruicai smiled repeatedly, "This is also what I happened to see, so I can't call it a ignorant eye!" Then he said, "If there is a problem with the accounting, start with the corrections and smears, and there will always be a record."

The smile on the old lady's face could not be stopped, nor could it be hidden.

Ruicai said again: "To say something that shouldn't be said. Girls like Hongling are often bought and sold repeatedly, and they are easy to make noise. You can ask the people around this girl and then go to the Wu family to find out the mistakes. If it is a bad person, just sell it directly and don't hire it. If you are just lazy, but have the talent to adjust some stuffing, you can stay forever. It is also good to bring out more apprentices."

Yanran was stunned by the side: "Wu family? Which Wu family?"

Ruicai said: "The Wu family, which is written on the contract of sale, was sold from the Tang family to the Wu family and bought it back. It is best to ask the Wu family why this girl was sold."

Yanran was impressed by Ruicai again: "Sister Wei is such a careful person! I just looked at the silver number on the contract, and I can't care about the Zhang family's Li family and Wu family!" As he said that, he looked out the window intentionally or unintentionally: "Why are some people's lives so good? I have asked the smartest, sensible and most sensible girl in the world. I really don't know what great virtues I have cultivated in my previous life!"

Xiaoxiao held back her smile and gently pushed open the crack in the window to look out, but she saw Tang Lihuan still in the yard, wearing a cloak in sea dragon's skin, walking around among several old plum trees, with his eyes turned to this place from time to time, but he couldn't see it inside - grandmother's place is an old tradition, and the windows are still bright tiles, which are only transparent but not transparent, which makes the people in the yard anxious.

Go in a hurry. You have chased the girl who is so good at this. You have really picked up a big baby. What if you go around the yard a few more times in the twelfth lunar month? Only when you are frozen will you know that a good girl is hard to come by.

Zhan Yan was a little angry, glanced sideways in Ruicai, looked down at his account book, thinking of finding a problem to make things difficult for this village girl.
