Chapter 295 New Accounting Method
So, when Yao Anxin took the account book made by calligraphy and asked Mrs. Yao to teach her, the following scene appeared:
"What is this?" Mrs. Yao looked at the things in Yao Anxin's hand with a look of surprise.
Yao Anxin was a little confused: "A account book."
"Why is your account book like this?! What is this...?" Mrs. Yao pointed to the Arabic numerals above, feeling familiar, but she didn't recognize what it was.
"It's a number, this is 1, this is 2, this is 3..." Yao Anxin pointed it at Mrs. Yao one by one.
There is also the incoming and outgoing accounts, when it is incoming and when it is out, it is clearly written.
Mrs. Yao felt that this account book seemed to be many times better than what she used.
"How did you think of it? Why did you do this... keeping accounts?!" Could it be that her daughter is so smart?!
Yao Anxin: "It's not what I thought of, this is the account that Shuyi helped me remember."
"Shu Yi? Is the maid in the study that the old lady gave you?" Mrs. Yao still has an impression of Shu Yi.
After all, after Yao Anxin studied, wasn’t it the maid named “Shuyi” who usually accompanied Yao Anxin to and from school?
Because it was given by the old lady, Mrs. Yao also gave her face and acknowledged her status as a "maid".
However, compared to the old lady, Mrs. Yao still trusts her people, so she still likes to find Mo Xiang when she asks questions.
Regarding calligraphy, Mrs. Yao also asked Mo Xiang to prevent her from being robbed of her position by the other party.
Yao Anxin nodded: "Well, it's her. Mother. She may have done calligraphy. She is not only proficient in literature, but also has a very good job in accounting..."
While speaking, Yao Anxin looked carefully at Mrs. Yao's expression and told Mrs. Yao tentatively that, since Shu Yi returned to Jinling with her, she had already handed over the account book in her yard to Shu Yi.
She knew that her mother was guarding against the old lady, but to be honest, the wet nurse would not be able to take charge of the accounts at all. Even if she trusted the wet nurse, she would have no choice but to know how to do it.
Mrs. Yao's face changed slightly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
She always thought that even if her daughter had the old lady's people around her, the people she trusted should be her people.
Unexpectedly, at some point, my daughter actually disliked her and chose the old lady's person?!
"The wet nurse is my mother's person, and my daughter is afraid that she will hurt her heart if she says it, so... Mom, it's not that my daughter doesn't trust the wet nurse, but she really can't do the account. Even the literate maid you sent in, she has never learned to manage the account. The account book is confused and I can't understand it at all. But after Shuyi came, she would tell the account book she recorded for a little while and I would understand." Yao Anxin's voice was weak, as if she was afraid that Mrs. Yao would be angry.
However, the account book is placed in front of Mrs. Yao, how could she get angry?
What's wrong?
The only thing I can blame is that the person she gave was too useless and was disliked by her daughter.
"You just trust calligraphy so much? Are you not afraid that she is the old lady?" Mrs. Yao asked, looking at her daughter.
Seeing that her mother was not angry, Yao Anxin was a little more courageous, and said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But after Shuyi followed me, she was my own person, and the contract was sold is also with me. Everything she did was for my own good... Anyway, I've used it for so long, but I haven't seen anything about her being traitorous."
"And," Yao Anxin paused, "I am the granddaughter of the old lady. Even if Shuyi is the old lady's person, I can't think of any reason why the old lady will harm me. At most, just stare at me a little more, just like a hearing, and some movement will reach the old lady's ears."
"Then did she do it?" asked Mrs. Yao.
Yao Anxin shook her head: "No, I sent someone to stare at her, she did nothing. Since the old lady gave her to me, she has not received my instructions, and she has no contact with the people in the old lady's courtyard."
After hearing this, what can Mrs. Yao say?
One is a nanny who is easy to use and knows the duty, a nanny who seems to be her but can't even make a account. It is obvious how her daughter will choose.
"Then how do you plan to arrange the wet nurse?"
Yao Anxin lowered her head and said softly: "The wet nurse is old. If she is in good spirits, she will help me manage other things in the yard. If it is okay, she will take care of herself and she will be happy to raise one more person. After all, she has breastfeeded me and never let her care. She still has to give her the decent she should give."
"It's good that you know, this matter...you can do it yourself, and I won't interfere. If someone is disobedient, tell me, I'll help you clean up."
Yao Anxin immediately raised her head in surprise: "Mom, have you agreed?!"
"You are my daughter," Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "I am not on your side, who will I stand on?"
"I thought... I thought I didn't need to leave the wet nurse, you would be angry."
"The wet nurse is indeed my person, but when I handed her over to you, I hope she will take care of you, not to drag you back. Now that you have a better use, you can just use the people you like to use. As for the wet nurse, have you already given her a decent amount? If she cherishes her, she will naturally have a support for the back of her body; if she doesn't cherish it, she won't blame others."
"Thank you, mom, you're so nice."
"You are my daughter. I'm not good to you, who are you good to? OK, call Shuyi over and ask her to tell us about the new account book. It seems that this account book, my mother has to learn it with you."
"Mom~"
...
Yao Anxinjiao acted coquettishly, but she didn't expect that this matter would pass so easily.
She happily called the eldest maid Shuyi over and asked her to teach her this new account book with Mrs. Yao.
It was not until this time that Mrs. Yao realized that this new account book was created by the old lady. The reason why she was able to become a maid with the word "book" was not only literacy and literature, but also that this account book was well done.
In the old lady's yard, the account book is one of the skills that maids with the word "book" must learn.
In other words, the maids with other little masters who have the word "shu" must learn in addition to literacy. If they can't pass the test, they will not be able to top the word "shu".
Suddenly, Mrs. Yao wanted to go to the old lady Gu Qingling's yard to ask for a few maids or servants with the word "book". She was a maid and servant who could do the accounting. She needed to use her shops, and I don't know how much effort it would save.
My heart was a little itchy and unconsciously, and in the evening, Mrs. Yao said something to Mr. Yao.
When Mr. Yao heard this, he said, "Since you want it, let me tell you. My mother has the most servants. I heard from Mo Shu that there is a yard dedicated to cultivating servants, and there are many people in it."
"Mo Shu? Isn't he the manager of the bookstore? Then did he come out of the yard where the servants were trained?"
