Chapter 72 Accounting 2

"Mother Cao, Sister Jiu is here!" Seeing Cao's mother's sad face, the little maid said with some signs of anger at any time.

"What are you talking about? How can the ninth sister come here!" Cao's mother was worried about the betrothal gifts sent by Zhou and the third sister's dowry these days. Suddenly, she heard the maid say this and looked a little unbelievable.

It was raining outside. Cao's mother took a look at the increasingly heavy rain outside the window and really heard the voice of Sister Jiu's slightly childlike, "Jiu'er has seen Mother Cao!"

Cao's mother was shocked, but she quickly greeted her and blessed her body, "I greet the ninth sister!" She got up and asked doubtfully, "I don't know that you are here..."

Sister Jiu smiled and greeted the painting fan and took a few thick account books from the painting fan. As soon as she entered her arms, she felt that the account books were heavy.

"This account book has been kept at Jiu'er's place. Jiu'er is really worried about losing the account book. Seeing that everyone was busy with the third sister's marriage these days, Jiu'er personally sent these account books.

Cao's mother looked at Yan Yan's ninth sister in a stunned, but her vigilance against the ninth sister did not relax. Although the second wife has told her to help the ninth sister, she has also heard some things about the ninth sister, so she naturally dares not underestimate the ninth sister. Is it true that she just came to pay back the account book?

Cao's mother did not dare to neglect. Although there were not many smiles on her face, her hands were not slow. She quickly took the account book in the ninth sister's hand and blamed herself, "Aren't you a slave? You only need to send a servant to send this account book. If you are really afraid that the servants in the courtyard will not be reliable, you just need to send someone to tell the maidservant, and the maidservant will come to pick it up in person.

The ninth sister turned a deaf ear. She still knew how important the account book in this house is. If she really casually asked a maid to bring the account book, it's okay if nothing happens. If something happens, it's hers hers.

"It's been raining heavily these two days, and Xun Xiu sent someone to say that she won't come these days. Liu Fuzi from the study didn't come either. Jiu'er will get moldy if he stays in the yard again. The ninth sister said, but she always paid attention to Cao's mother's expression.

From entering the accounting room to now, she has found that there are still two bookkeepers here. Wearing a light gray gown, I just saluted when I saw Sister Jiu, and didn't say much, but seemed to have a sense of pride. Sister Jiu didn't care. Since she first entered here, the maid she met was not enthusiastic about her, and she was ready to be neglected. However, although Cao's mother didn't seem to take care of interpersonal relationships, she still took care of her seriously, which was much better than she thought. I think the second wife's instructions should have worked.

"Speaking of which, Jiu'er has been learning to settle accounts and read a lot of books, but I don't know if I can help Cao's mother!"

Cao's mother was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Have you finished reading all these books?"

The ninth sister squeezed her lips and smiled faintly, which was regarded as an acknowledgment.

"his--" Cao's mother took a cold breath and widened her eyes, as if she still didn't believe the words of the ninth sister.

Looking at Cao's mother's expression, Sister Jiu'er said firmly: "Jiu'er played an axe in front of Cao's mother, but Jiu'er saw that her second aunt and several steward's mothers were so busy these days that their feet were not touching the ground, so Jiu'er volunteered to come to this accounting room and also wanted to help a little favor, right?"

Hearing what Sister Jiu said, Cao's mother also understood a little in her heart. She secretly thought that even if Sister Jiu was extremely smart, she could not figure out how to settle accounts in such a short time. Maybe she just wants to come to the accounting office to see it. However, after all, Sister Jiu has learned to settle accounts, and she should still be able to record some things.

She is not afraid that the ninth sister will see any clue. After all, it is related to the third sister's marriage. Those bride price and the third sister's dowry should not be faked. This matter can be just a little bit for the ninth sister. I'm just afraid that I will let Sister Jiu contact the accounting room without the second wife's permission...

"This..." Cao's mother couldn't make up her mind for a moment.

When Sister Jiu saw that Cao's mother was a little shaken and winked at Yao's mother, she saw Yao's mother say with a smile, "Sister Cao, what are you worried about? The second wife had planned to ask the ninth sister to help the house. Sister Jiu came here to help by the way. Just contact the accounting room earlier. The second wife must be more happy that Sister Jiu can help as soon as possible.

As Yao's mother spoke, she walked to Cao's mother and took Cao's hand, as if she were a pair of close sisters. Yao's mother looked around and quickly stuffed the silver in her hand into Cao's mother's hand.

Cao's mother had a faint smile in her eyes and said secretly: Since Sister Jiu has always done this hard work herself, it's okay to let her do it. There are still two accountants in this account room, and nothing can happen.

"What Sister Yao said was that I was worried too much." The expression on Cao's mother's face was much softer.

"Cuixiu, what are you still standing for? Hurry up and bring a stool for Sister Jiu."

"I obeyed!" The maid who had previously come in for notification answered and went to move a cushioned chair.

"Ninth sister, please!" Cao's mother bowed slightly and took the ninth sister to her work table and said, "Zhou Fu brought a lot of betrothal gifts. I have been busy for a few days, but I haven't finished recording this account. The third sister's dowry is being prepared again. These two things are put together, but there is really nothing I can do. Fortunately, you are here.

The ninth sister nodded silently, but her heart fell on the bride price sent by Zhoufu. If she could, she would like to see how much the third sister's dowry was. In this way, we can infer how much money Xuefu's warehouse has entered this time. It also prepares her for the future.

Cao's mother spread the account book on the table, turned out Zhou's bride price list, and said, "You just need to record the things on the bride price list according to the format above."

Sister Jiu smiled and said, "Mother Cao, don't worry. Jiu'er will record it first, and I'll give it to you again later."

Cao's mother nodded with satisfaction. The ninth sister was also a careful master and said, "You record it first. The maidservant will record the third sister's dowry on the other table. If you don't understand, just call the maidservant."

Sister Jiu nodded and watched Cao's mother turn up an account book and list from this table and moved it to another table.

Cao's mother is a subordinate of Xue's family, but she dares not sit with her master. What's more, she will live under the ninth sister in the future.

Sister Jiu is satisfied with Cao's mother's movements. If Cao's mother stares at her to record these things on this table, it is impossible for her to compare those bride price with the things in the warehouse.

The corners of Sister Jiu's lips couldn't help hooking up, picked up the brush and began to record the remaining bride price list, and gradually had a clearer understanding of Xue's financial situation. I'm already 60% sure, maybe I should talk to my second wife about something.
