Matrilocal Marriage

Chapter 43: let me help you

Miss Lin Si is a woman with strong execution ability, but she didn't mention it last night. The next day, she named Rui Er and handed the gift list to Yun'an.

"What is this?" Yun'an looked at the densely packed words on the red post, and had a headache. Since getting married, school has stopped, and Yun'an has not studied much. I forgot half of the words I knew before, plus this list. There are a lot of rare characters in the Shang Dynasty, and Yun'an can't even make a sentence directly.

Rui'er knew it, and said, "Uncle, this is the gift list sent to you by the lady's servant. You can understand it when you mention your uncle. In addition, the gifts have been placed in the concierge. When the uncle goes out tomorrow, I will call it. When the two families go to the concierge to mention it, they can go out."

"Thank you Sister Ruier."

"Auntie doesn't need to be so polite. This is a matter for the servants and servants. I dare not ask for credit."

"By the way, what is your lady doing (gan)?"

"Miss is in the study, and the slave and maid dare to estimate (touch Mo), she is probably reading the account book."

"Oh... Sister Ruier."

"The servant is here."

"Let me ask you, Miss, what do you usually do? She...is that busy every day?"

Rui Er made a wish and replied: "The maidservant should not talk about the schedule of the original lady, but the maid asked the servants. If the uncle asks about the affairs of the mansion, the servants should know everything about everything, so the slaves Dare to say it."

Yun An's heart jumped, and the corners of his mouth were unconscious. He watched Rui'er and asked, "Does your lady really say that?"

"Yes it is."

"When did she say that, why don't I know?"

"When the gift list was handed over to the maidservant today, the lady specially ordered it."

The scene at the time suddenly flashed in Yun An's mind. Lin Buxian handed the gift list to Rui'er, and then stopped Rui'er to add such a sentence.

Yun An could understand Lin Buxian's intentions. Yun'an is basically certain. The reason why Lin Buxian ordered this sentence is probably because he anticipated his own thoughts and next actions. Perhaps she was afraid that she would ask about it, but Rui Er was afraid of the rules and did not dare to answer, for fear that she would produce "outsiders." "The feeling, or the unhappy heart.

Thinking of Lin Buxian's occasional helpless eyes when he was looking at him, thinking of Lin Buxian's tolerance and gentleness to him over the past few days, Yun An suddenly felt very at ease.

This feeling is not a great emotion. It is like when Yunan was hungry, he suddenly received a call from his father, telling himself that the family made Yunan’s favorite braised pork ribs and braised pork (rou), and go home. eat. Or he dragged his tired body and boarded the bus, just as if there was a (dry gan) clear space not far away.

It's just that this sense of solidity has disappeared since Yun'an came to this time and space.

Seeing Yun An's silence, Ruier dutifully replied: "Since the lady passed her seventeenth birthday three years ago, the master has handed over all the matters concerning the size of the mansion to the lady, and the master will still sit in the mansion for the first year. After giving some pointers, when the young lady became familiar with him, the master took his wife around, and was absent from the mansion for more than half a year. The young lady decided on all matters in the mansion. The three months of “Three Six Nine” each year, Longnan The shopkeepers of the shops and industries all over the world will bring the accounts and settlement notes, and the silver will enter the house. The lady will receive them early in the morning, check, check the accounts, arrange the silver, and put them in the warehouse. After that, they will have to talk to the shopkeepers more or less. Sentence. Except for'Three Six Nine' and Shangyuan, Mid-Autumn Festival, the days of the other months are the days when young ladies routinely go to the streets to find shops. You have to go to every shop in Los Angeles and look around. Look through the books and ask if there are any outstanding guys, whether something happened or something interesting. On weekdays, most of the time in the study, the lady is reading the books, even if the lady is talented, how can she Our Lin Mansion has too many properties, but there is only one lady. After two years of busy work, the servants and maids feel distressed. There is also some banquets and regular visits to the Chamber of Commerce to meet with the bosses of major business houses. The busiest time... that is the end of each year. The shopkeepers of all territories outside of Longnan have to bring the account books of this year into the mansion. The lady has to be busy until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to rest. After that, I will get busy again. It’s not always the case that it’s a rest. The relatives on the side of the New Year have to walk around the house. Although the master and the wife were also there at that time, the young lady also wanted to (show up) to accompany him. It is also necessary to worship the ancestors, to respect the Lord of Wealth, and to bring out the total benefits of the previous year, and to distribute the dividends to the relatives according to the shares when they are gathered together.

After hearing this, Yun An took a breath and exclaimed: "If you do this, doesn't your lady have a busy day?"

"Nor say the same. Business is busy and busy, and occasionally there are days of rest. Besides, the wife takes her young lady to Qingxuguan every year for a short stay, fasting and eliminating the industry, and setting up alms shed to help the poor. The people of, pray for the Lin Mansion, um... It’s almost coming this year."

"Qingxu View? Isn't it the Taoist Temple where Master Xuanku is located?"

"Yes, this Qingxu view has something to do with our Lin Mansion. According to legend, when the old man founded his family business, he chose a treasured place of geomantic omen to be his home in a hundred years later. As a result, a Taoist also chose In this place, the old lady talked with the Taoist, and they regarded each other as confidants. They also generously donated money to the Taoist leader to build the Qingxu Temple. I heard that the old lady learned a lot from the Taoist. The later growth of the Lin Mansion laid a solid foundation. The plaque of Qingxuguan came from his old man. From then on, going to Qingxuguan to fast for a period of time every year has become the tradition of our Lin Mansion."

"Thank you Sister Ruier, you go to rest first, I want to go to the study to see your lady."

"Yes."

After hearing so much, Yun'an now wants to help Lin Buxian reduce his burden. The only blame is that there is no computer in this era, otherwise the data will be entered directly and the calculation will be completed in minutes.

Thinking of the two thick stacks of books that day, Yun An felt that Lin Buxian had been too hard.

...

When he came to the study, Lin Buxian was really settling the accounts. Seeing Yun'an came, Lin Buxian didn't say much, but raised his hand to pour a glass of water for Yunan, pushed it in front of Yunan, and then looked again. I voted for the calculator, writing something with a pen in one hand.

This is better, Yunan thinks.

Naturally, if Lin Buxian stopped working to entertain himself, Yun An would feel very alienated instead.

Yun An didn’t say much to Lin Buxian, opened vcr, picked up a stack of ledger books and put it aside on the small case, and then called out the picture of the last recorded number, took a piece of rice paper, and held Yan Guo with a brush. I wrote the numbers carefully on the paper in order, and after I wrote them, I checked them carefully to make sure I didn’t copy them wrong except for the ugly writing. Then I marked them with a smaller font below each number. With the corresponding Arabic numerals, this piece of paper Yunan will not be left. She will take it with him when she leaves and destroy the evidence.

Lin Buxian's workload is so large that it is obviously unrealistic for Yun An to ask her to read for herself every time. Fortunately, Yun An has already recognized the two words "expenditure" and "accounting", and they should not be wrong.

Although Lin Buxian didn't look up, she knew Yun An's every move. She fiddled with the bead with one hand, and wrote something on the paper with the other, giving a faint smile.

At the beginning, Yun'an was slow to settle accounts, and every number had to be compared. After a half-book, Yun'an had thoroughly memorized those numbers, and the speed was obviously faster. Moreover, she turned her back to Lin Buxian this time, and she was not afraid that the other party would see her empty gaze, so she didn't need to move her eyes drastically, which was much more comfortable than last time.

Since the bell rang twice, less than an hour later, Yun An and Lin Buxian settled all the books in the study together, and the sky outside was still dark.

"Anything else?" Yun An asked.

"No, the last one is over."

Yun An smiled with satisfaction, and said, "From now on... I will help you with it. You see, it's obviously a lot faster today."

"The accounts are boring, I'm afraid you don't like it."

"Oh, is this a good job? How many people in the world can like their work? Only the extremely lucky people have the opportunity to turn their interests into work. In short, I will help you when I have time. Anyway, these things are right. There is nothing to be tired of me."

Lin Buxian only took Yun'an's words as comforting words, how could he not be tired? Not to mention that a sitting is a time, Yunan doesn't need to count, how hard it is to calculate such a huge amount of calculation, Lin doesn't envy to know.

"Thank you." Lin Buxian thanked him sincerely. If Yun'an weren't there...these accounts would be enough for him to keep busy.

"Let's go, go back to rest and rest, it's almost time for dinner, what to eat tonight?"

Lin Buxian smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Are there braised pork ribs?"

"some."

"What about braised (rou)?"

"Also."

"Both?"

"If you want, they will all appear on the table during dinner."

"Really! Yixi, you are so kind!" I don't know what he thought of, Yun An slurred his lips, feeling a little bit inadequate.

How could Lin Buxian not know what Yun An was thinking? After thinking about it, he replied: "Today I am a little tired. Someone will go to the main courtyard to report to my father and mother. Today, you and I will eat in the small courtyard, okay?"

Lin Buxian's words hit Yun'an's little wish secretly poking deep in his heart. Yun'an immediately became cloudy and clear, and said, "Are you tired? Then let's go back first. I will always give you a massage before eating. Muscles and bones, thank you for the friendship between the old braised pork (rou rou) and the braised pork ribs!"

Lin Buxian's pretty face blushed, and said, "No, no need. I'm fine, but I'm not very tired."

"Oh, we don't need to see outside the (guanguan) department. I have heard sister Ruier say that you have been sitting in this study for a day. This chair is stiff, and you are sitting stiff and even lazy. How could it be possible not to be tired?" After that, Yunan gave Lin Buxian a happy eye and said: "Normally, I don't tell her, my technique is good, and you are satisfied."
