In one go

It was another fine day, and magpies flew up in groups of twos and threes, as if they were about to reach the zenith and be at the same level as the sun.Several restaurants by the river opened their doors early to attract business, and the crowds on the street gradually increased, echoing the shouts one after another. Some bold singers also sang Shibamo to the street on the painting boat.The scholar who was reciting poems there every day, when he heard Shibamo, his fair skin seemed to have been soaked in pig's blood all night.He dropped the book and ran away without raising his head, muttering as he ran: "How can a woman be so bold!" Xiao Er spit out a mouthful of old phlegm immediately, and cursed: "What are you pretending to do, I don't believe that a woman's boobs come to you You don't even touch me?!" The scholar froze for a while, unable to speak for a long time.Seeing others looking at him, he was ashamed and afraid, as if a hot wheel suddenly appeared under his feet, he rushed to the corner of the street in a blink of an eye, leaving only a corner of his clothes in everyone's eyes.

"Hahahahahahaha!" The spectators headed by Xiaoer couldn't help laughing at this situation.Gradually, everyone on the road seemed to have witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were laughing too hard.It really confirms the phrase "Jiangnan in March, a fairyland on earth."

However, not everyone is as happy as in the fairyland. Wang Hang has just escaped from the nightmare at this moment, and his whole body seems to have just been fished out of the water. The fish are generally gasping for air.

Wang Hang didn't want to recall the contents of the dream.He stared at the beam of the bed, forcing himself to calm down.Is it past time?He glanced at the door and immediately recognized Zhang Zhezhi's figure.Don't let him see yourself like this.

"Zhang Zhezhi."

"Yes"

"Call others to serve."

In just one day, Zhang Zhezhi seemed to have clearly grasped the structure of the Wang family compound.In half a cup of tea, he called a group of maids.After rustling for a long time, Wang Hang appeared in front of Zhang Zhezhi in a fine attire: "Follow me to the accountant today."

Although Zhang Zhezhi was a careful person, he did not raise his head to look carefully at Wang Hang after a short time with him, nor did he find that he was mentally ill.Neither of them said much, waved away the maid, and went straight to the cashier.Along the way, both of them were silent, Zhang Zhezhi couldn't stop his wild thoughts.Unbelievable, a few days ago, I was still a poor boy who had nothing and could only live by his friends.In a blink of an eye...he looked up at Wang Hang, was this the person who rewrote his own destiny in an instant?

Wang Hang didn't know these thoughts in Zhang Zhezhi's mind, he felt the wind on the soles of his feet, and he arrived at the accountant's office within a short time.

A few scholars who were about the same age as Zhang Zhezhi were moving back and forth in the outer room with ledgers half the height of a person.It should be returning the completed ledgers to the original place, and then sending the unfinished ledgers to the inner room.The outer room is not big, there are only three bookshelves, which are placed against the three walls, and they are full of ledgers. There are a few empty ones, which should be in the hands of these scholars.

When those people saw Wang Hang coming, they didn't put down the books in their hands, and nodded at Wang Hang in that posture: "Third Master."

Wang Hang didn't mind either, he hummed and gave an explanation, then walked straight to the inner room.

Zhang Zhezhi originally thought that the inner room should be more crowded than the outer room, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he stepped half a foot in.

The inner room is huge, but it doesn't look empty at all.A few old men with gray beards were sitting at the table, holding pens in a very upright posture, and one could tell that they were quite knowledgeable.There are several people standing opposite each old man, some young and some old, all lined up in a neat line.The one standing at the front whispered something to the old man on the opposite side. The old man nodded from time to time, and the pen in his hand followed his head, walking and stopping on the paper irregularly.

Wang Hang walked around those old men and led Zhang Zhezhi to the innermost place.On the table for two people, a young man has books on the left and right sides, which are not ledgers.He turned a few pages of this book, glanced at that book, and swayed back and forth on the chair.But my ears are very good. When I heard footsteps, I sharply raised my head: "Why are you here?"

Wang Hang was not in a hurry to answer, he casually picked up a few books on the table and flipped through them: "How about the accounts?"

"Here, aren't those old men doing it?" The young man stood up from the chair and grabbed the book in Wang Hang's hand, "Don't touch my book!" He stroked the book up and down like a baby for a long time, and finally touched it. enough.Only then did he lift up his pair of red phoenix eyes, his gaze passed over Wang Han little by little, and finally fell on Zhang Zhezhi.

He snorted with his nose, with the same expression as Xiao Qi: "Did you dream again last night?"

"Make a room and come out."

"What, Jinwu Zangjiao?"

"Zhang Zhezhi." Wang Hang answered the wrong question, grabbed Zhang Zhezhi's arm and pushed him forward, "He learned from me."

Only then did Zhou Ye take a closer look at Zhang Zhezhi, and raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Young Master Xiaoyao has published a new book."

"purchase."

"Tch, is it great to be rich?" The young man twitched his mouth, and sat back on the chair with a "snap", and raised his legs, "Tomorrow, please be early."

"Ah."

Zhang Zhezhi was very puzzled by the incongruous conversation between the two. Before he had turned the corner, he saw Wang Hang pointing at the young man: "Zhou Ye, you are in charge of all the accounts of the Wang family."

Zhou Ye also grinned at Zhang Zhezhi with a bland smile, which was a response to Wang Hang's introduction.In a blink of an eye, he buried his head in reading again, not paying attention to the two of them at all.

Wang Hang didn't explain to Zhang Zhezhi either, he felt that things had been arranged properly.He turned his head and walked out, saying as he walked, "Start tomorrow, learn from me."

Poor Zhang Zhezhi still doesn't know that his miserable life started from here. He didn't know that "counter" is the most terrible and most important job in the world.He didn't know that for the next ten days or even a month, he would be immersed in this place, tortured to death by the abacus and the ledger, half dead, life would be worse than death.

Now he is just a servant following Wang Hang, walking around the mansion with Wang Hang, saying a few words occasionally, and taking a look at the scenery if he has nothing to do.I am delighted to think that working in the Wang family is really the most beautiful thing in the world!

In fact, Wang Hang's original intention was not to torture Zhang Zhezhi and let him learn accounts from him, but just to let him learn some useful things.

It's just that the accounting itself is difficult.In addition, after Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi vented their breath, they didn't have a good impression of Zhang Zhezhi, and they made troubles in different ways, which made him fully feel the malice of the world.

But these are all things to say later, that night, Wang Hang was not surprised to see two familiar faces in the room.Before their door was closed tightly, Xiao Qi was already cursing: "Do you feel happy only when you die in a dream?!"

Zhou Ye also interjected coldly: "Xiao Qi, what nonsense are you talking about, he really wants to meet his lover in his dreams every day."

"I don't know." Wang Hang exhaled foul breath, he was already pale, and his face had no blood at all, just like a piece of rice paper soaked in water.

Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi looked at each other, and they were in no mood to continue scolding him.Zhou Ye took out a porcelain bottle from his clothes and put it on the table: "It's the old rule, two pills a day." Then he curled his mouth and looked disgusted, "Your loving brother doesn't look like a good guy." After a pause, "Let me say first, you can make trouble as you like, but don't destroy everything now."

"Zhou Ye," Wang Hang poured out two pills and swallowed them very skillfully, his complexion improved a bit, "I will watch him."

Zhou Ye's expression became more and more foul: "Hmph, who knows?" He stood up abruptly, and gestured for Xiao Qi to go with him with his hooked hands. When the two reached the door, he took a deep breath: "Don't get too deep .” As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qi, who obviously wanted to say something, disappeared at the door.

Zhou Ye... Thank you.Wang Hang looked at them, and it would be a lie if he wasn't moved.Having been with me for nearly ten years, the three of them have long been like brothers and sisters, and they can help each other without a single complaint at critical moments.

Just like Xiao Qi, who always swears and curses in his mouth, but he has never been ambiguous when he is asked to investigate the matter of that person in the past few years. At most, it is the same as before. Honestly, continue to do what you explain.

But Zhou Ye—Wang Hang was a little lost in thought.I knew early on that Zhou Ye was very smart.This cleverness is not only reflected in the fact that when I was young, I and Xiao Qi could only get half a steamed bun, and Zhou Ye could get one and a half steamed buns.It is also reflected in the fact that he always has the best grasp of things, and knows best what to do and what not to do.

Just like just now, he knew that he didn't want to say something, and he also knew what he was thinking, so he dragged Xiao Qi away, hoping to give himself a quiet space.

Thanks to Zhou Ye's ability, I was able to hand over the accounts to him with confidence.After all, in the past three years, my health has been getting worse and worse, and the ordinary business dealings are all arranged by Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi.

But anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Xiao Qi's temperament is not born for business.It can be seen that the Wang family not only has no tendency to collapse in recent years, but has grown bigger and bigger.Zhou Ye must be working hard!It's hard for him to be a bookworm, cheating with a glib businessman, and often soaking in the forest of wine and meat, finally stealing half a day's leisure, and still worrying about himself, so he and Xiao Qi specially found this medicine...

Thinking of this, a look of shame rose on Wang Hang's brows.He put the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine on the table, as if swearing.

"the last time."

Early the next morning, Wang Hang took Zhang Zhezhi to study the accounts, and Zhou Ye prepared a room for them in the inner room according to his words. The lighting was excellent, and it must have been the place where Zhou Ye used to read books.

Finally, Zhang Zhezhi began to concentrate on the vigorous calculation.The sad thing is that he has never touched the abacus since he was a child, and his right hand is extremely uncoordinated. He often doesn't know where he hits after a while.However, Wang Hang didn't intend to show him any favors, so he threw three brick-thick ledgers to him, asking him to approve and complete them within three days.

Zhang Zhezhi didn't even have time to complain, so he started checking non-stop.But as a novice, a novice whose brain and hands are uncoordinated, even if he worked hard until midnight, he only finished a small part of the book.

He was very anxious, young and energetic, and as soon as he clenched his fist, he planned to stay up all night and continue to do it.Unexpectedly, the mind was slightly relaxed for a while on the way, and fell asleep on the table. When I woke up, I was still a little confused, and I didn't know where I was for a while.When he came back to his senses, he roared with regret for a while, and then he could only resign himself to his fate and bury his head in the account book.

After three days of being in such a daze, he went to report to Wang Hang with a book that was still unfinished.

Wang Hang didn't hope that he could finish it. The three ledgers were just a test given by himself.Generally speaking, for a novice like him, it is not bad to finish one and a half books.So when he saw that among the three ledgers in Zhang Zhezhi's hand, only one was left unfinished, he silently praised it in his heart.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Zhezhi to know this.He only saw that Wang Hang's dead face remained unchanged, he stretched out two fingers to open the ledger casually, glanced from top to bottom, and closed it with joy or anger.

"Barely qualified." Wang Hang shifted his gaze from the account book to Zhang Zhezhi's face, and his peachy eyes fell on the stool behind him. After seeing him sit down, he began to explain the skills needed to make accounts in detail with him.

Wang Hang's voice was very low, probably because he was afraid of disturbing Zhou Ye and others outside the room.But his natural pitch was a bit sharp, now that he lowered it, it moved like a feather by his ear, making the eardrums itchy.Moreover, his tone is extremely soft, and he vividly recites the rules and techniques like love words, so from the ears to the heart, the whole person is numb, a little distracted.

Seeing that Zhang Zhezhi was distracted, Wang Hang tapped the table with his index finger: "Listen." His sharp gaze followed.

After all, he is also a scholar, with a thin skin, so he hastily sat up straight after being said that, and never dared to think about anything else. He just listened and thought with all his heart, which did not disappoint Wang Hang's original wish.

It's just that Wang Hang's health is not good, and he always coughs after speaking for a long time.It's been fine for the past few days, coughing twice, and drinking tea can deal with it.But it gradually became serious, and often coughed for a long time without stopping.When Zhang Zhezhi was not coughing, he advised him to take a rest for a few days before re-lecturing, but he refused and insisted on continuing.

Fortunately, one day he coughed too much and was heard by Zhou Ye passing by.He rushed in and scolded him, and forced him to rest for two days, and then called the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then he controlled the terrible cough.

During the two days when Wang Hang was away, Zhou Ye would naturally teach on his behalf.This person is not like Wang Han who speaks softly, who opens his mouth to scold people until they are utterly bruised.There was an hour of scolding every day, and when he had had enough scolding and enjoyed it, he would randomly throw a ledger for him to observe, and he would start immersing himself in his own world as soon as he turned his feet up.

Fortunately, Wang Hang had taught Zhang Zhezhi many things before, and looking at the account book now, he was not as confused as before.Start with what you know and work your way down.If you don't understand, you can lower your face and ask Zhou Ye. Although you are always in the vanguard with blank eyes and scolding, you can still get a correct answer in the end.

Two days later, Zhang Zhezhi woke up half an hour earlier than usual, and cleaned the room again.Sitting on a chair, staring at the door wistfully, waiting for Wang Hang to arrive.This time, he really understood that Wang Han is really a unique and good person from top to bottom of the Wang family.

This made Wang Hang a little confused, why did Zhang Zhezhi change his temper after lying on the bed for two days?

After more than half a month like this, the two of them spent almost every day in that small room.Zhang Zhezhi successfully turned from a novice who didn't know anything to a brand new accountant.

Wang Hang didn't show any pride at all. He watched Zhang Zhezhi skillfully pointed out the mistakes in the ledger, and calmly drew a full stop on the paper.In the afternoon, they asked someone to restore the room to its original appearance, and naturally they did not forget to thank Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye raised the book in his hand, and pointed the book cover to the two of them: "Young Master Xiaoyao's book is really good-looking."

"Give him a job."

Zhang Zhezhi's temples twitched. Is the conversation between the two of them going to start again?

Zhou Ye slammed the book on the table: "You already made arrangements and asked me what to do."

"Uncle Zhao asked me to resign a few days ago."

Touching the spine of the book with one hand, the veins were showing: "Mr. Fusheng's books have been sold out a few days ago, it's a pity that there is only one set of collector's edition."

"Zhou Ye." Zhang Zhezhi saw Wang Hang bent down for the first time, bowed to Zhou Ye, and paused for a long time, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he immediately straightened his back, turned around and left.Zhang Zhezhi hurriedly followed, but he could clearly see the distressed and helpless expression on Zhou Ye's face.The book that was pinched in his hand was about to be crushed.

Falling out again and again, just because of yourself, a servant you've only known for a few days?It's really... puzzling.

But no matter how confused Zhang Zhezhi was, he took Uncle Zhao's position the next day.Although I was busy day and night with the accounts every day, I had a fulfilling life.

However, he only experienced this kind of fulfilling life for four or five days. Before he could sit on the stool, a big event happened!
