Chapter 502 Mr. Accountant

Qiuju took the spoon and served soup for everyone first.

Lu Wenqin looked at Chen Wan very embarrassedly and said, "I will return the two taels of silver to you as soon as possible."

Although he is now penniless, he still has to pay back the money he borrowed, but his money as soon as possible may be waiting for the next year.

Chen Wan knew that if you said you didn’t have to pay it back, he would feel that he would be shameless.

"No hurry," Chen Wan smiled and said, "I heard from Wenzhi that all the money Murong De paid you last time was gone."

Lu Wen nodded and said, "My father is sick and wants to go some, and he borrows some from his friends who are coming to take the exam, and they are all gone."

"Mr. Lu is really a kind-hearted person. His life has been like this. The child did not even buy a winter clothes to keep warm, so he gave the money to his "sick" father and his friends who were taking the exam." Although she didn't think that kindness was wrong, but under the premise of being kind, do you have to take care of yourself and your children first!

Lu Wenqin heard the meaning of Chen Wan's words and looked at his son sitting beside him. His face turned red with shame.

It was right for his father to give money when he was sick, and he could not refuse. Although he later knew that his father was not sick at all, his elder brother bought the land to build a new house with the money. According to the eldest son of the village chief’s family, the house was built quite grandly, and the second-hand large courtyard was full of blue brick and tiled houses.

The friend came to borrow money, but he shouldn't have borrowed money. He should have stayed, bought some clothes for Wenzhi and bought some land. However, he was never good at rejecting others. After saying a few more words to beg him, he nodded. After seeing Wenzhi, he was wearing a thin cotton jacket and shivering from the cold, and he regretted borrowing the money.

"Young Master Lu drinks the soup." Qiu Ju put the served chicken soup in front of Lu Wenqin.

"Thank you" Lu Wenqin thanked him, and swallowed his saliva when he looked at the chicken soup with butter and chopped green onions. When was the last time he drank chicken soup? He had forgotten, probably when Wanniang was still there!

"What are the plans for Mr. Lu after the New Year?" Chen Wan said: "When the spring is coming, Wenzhi has to find another academy. You have to prepare this training in advance."

Lu Wenqin looked puzzled and thought for a while and said, "I wrote more Spring Festival couplets to sell them before the New Year, and I should be able to save them."

Lu Wenqin said this, but he knew very well that even if he had written down his hands, he could not get a ten tael of silver. The one who had been doing this in Qingyun Academy was ten taels a year, which was half more than the Yucai Academy.

Chen Wan took the spoon and stirred the chicken soup in the bowl and said, "My friend has a farmhouse outside the city. Now she wants to hire an accountant, two taels of silver a month. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"

Her friend is herself, the village is Izumo Villa. After all, their villa is in business, so there must be one accountant. And Lu Wenqin, a serious scholar, is more than enough to do accountant.

The stalls he set up on the street can't make much money, but he can barely get enough food and clothing. He is really a life-saving grace to her. Instead of giving money and goods, it is better to give him a job that can make money to support his family.

Two taels of silver a month? He can't make two taels of silver in half a year. Although he has not been a resident accountant, he is competent. Moreover, if he has this job, he can give Wen Zhi a better life, so that he will not have to be laughed at by his classmates in the academy.

He nodded quickly and said, "Of course I'm interested."

Chen Wan: "Okay, I'll give you an address later, and you can just go to Zhuangzi to report it."

"Thank you, Mrs. Song. Wenqin toast her with tea instead of wine." Lu Wenqin picked up the tea cup and stood up.

Chen Wan also stood up with a teacup and smiled and said, "I should respect you. If you hadn't reported the message to my general, my life would have been gone."

The two of them smiled and clinked their cups from the air. After drinking the tea in the cup, they began to drink soup and eat vegetables. Although the Lu family and his son rarely had such good dishes, they were still very gentle when they ate.

There were eight dishes and one soup, and six people ate them cleanly, without any left.

After the meal, everyone left Zhaixing Tower. Chen Wan was going to send the Lu family and son back, but Lu Wenqin made a quatrain because it was not the same as the way.

So they separated at the entrance of Zhaixing Tower.

Chen Wan and the others returned to the general's mansion in a carriage and entered the mansion gate. As soon as they walked into the yard of the front hall, Chen Wan saw Song Heng, Song Ziyu and Lin Qingxue sitting inside.

Although Chen Wan was a little curious, they were sitting in the front hall at this time? But they did not go in, but led Song Ziling and Qiuju to the arch leading to the back door.

"Madam, the second young master is waiting for you!" The servant guarding at the front hall called them.

Waiting for us? Chen Wan raised her eyebrows, and knew something in her heart. She led Song Ziling and Qiu Ju to turn around and walk in.
