Chapter 719
Zian felt that this person was a person who went with the situation, at least, he didn't blame others, didn't resign to being wronged, it seemed that she would accept whatever fate gave her.
A young lady from an official family has been reduced to a slave, and there is no trace of humiliation in her brows.
Either the show was good, or she really resigned to her fate.
Zi'an said: "The empress dowager sent you out of the palace and into the palace to let you be the prince's side. Are you willing to be just a slave?"
Wan Jing still didn't raise her head, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Since the servant girl has been enslaved, she will keep her duty and will not have other extravagant expectations."
"Yeah." Zi'an nodded, "I've also heard from the prince about you, do you know how to read and count?"
"If you go back to the princess, you can know a few words, count them, and understand a little bit." Wanjing said.
Zi'an said to Xiaosun, "You ask Longan to bring over the account book of the mansion for this month, and bring over the abacus."
Xiaosun went in response.
Wanjing didn't know what she was going to do, but she didn't ask, and waited with her hands down.
After a while, Longan and Xiaosun arrived panting. Longan held the account book in one hand and the abacus in the other, and saluted as soon as they entered the door.
"Wanjing, you should calculate this month's accounts." Zi'an said.
Xiao Sun's face turned pale, and he looked at Zian in surprise.
Wanjing was also taken aback for a moment, but she didn't dare to ask, she stepped forward to take Longan's account book and abacus according to her words, squatted on the ground, and started to count on the short table.
Zi'an said, "Sit down."
Wan Jing said: "It's okay, it'll be fine soon."
Longan said: "This is the account for the expenses of the Yuefu. It's not much, but it's trivial."
Longan means that these trivial accounts will not be settled in a short while.
Wanjing smiled gratefully at Longan, but her fingers quickly dialed on the abacus.
Her fingers are very slender, and her movements are graceful and fast. In the room, the crisp sound of abacus can be heard endlessly, making people think it is a beautiful piece of music.
Longan stared straight at the sight. Although he said he had not settled accounts for a long time, but it has been a while, and the speed is not half as fast as others.
What's more, she was flipping through the ledger while making calculations, there was no need to count them one by one with her fingers, she just glanced down and typed quickly over there.
After a cup of tea, she stood up, wrote the numbers with a charcoal pencil in the account book, and said, "Go back to Wangfei, it's done."
"Longan, check it out!" Zi'an said.
Longan leaned over to look at the beads of her abacus, her eyes widened a bit, "Princess, it's basically correct."
This month's account is not yet at the end of the month, so Longan has not been settled, but the daily expenditure, Longan will be credited to the account first, so there is a total daily expenditure, Longan knows it well, and this account calculated by Wanjing, and His own daily return is not bad.
Zian smiled with satisfaction, and said to Longan: "From tomorrow on, you will take Wan Jing for a while and let her take your hand."
Both Longan and Xiaosun changed color slightly, Longan's lips trembled, her face turned pale, "Yes!"
"Wanjing, would you like it?" Zi'an asked.
Only then did Wanjing raise her head, her eyes filled with tears, "Princess, there is no woman who settles accounts."
"Wang Fu doesn't pay much attention to it, you just say whether you want it or not."
"Wanjing thank you Wangfei for your kindness." Wanjing knelt down, her voice was not as calm as before, and she was much more excited.
Zi'an said: "You also have to have the ability, you go first."
"Wanjing leave!"
She backed out and went out to the door, tears streaming down her face.
If it is said that she accepts her fate, that is helpless. What can she do if she does not accept her fate? Being a servant, even though people look down upon her, she can still survive.
Although the accountant is also a servant of the mansion, he doesn't have to do the work of serving others, which is the grace of the princess.
As soon as Wanjing left, Xiaosun couldn't help it anymore, "Princess, you asked her to do the longan work, what about the longan? You're partial!"
Longan hurriedly said, "Xiao Sun, don't talk nonsense."
Zi'an gave Xiaosun an angry look, "Girls are extroverted, you're right."
Xiao Sun blushed, "Where? I just feel it's unfair for Longan. He worked very hard."
Zian snorted softly, and looked at Longan, "Longan, the best way to settle accounts in the mansion is to be an accountant. Would you like to go to the Zhuangzi?"
"Zhuangzi?" Longan suddenly raised her head, "What are you going to Zhuangzi for?"
"Of course it's in charge." Zi'an smiled.
Xiaosun let out an ah, and her round face couldn't hide her joy, "Is the princess going to promote Longan to Zhuangzi to be in charge?"
"That's right, isn't it better to be a steward than to be an accountant in the mansion?" Zi'an laughed.
Longan said excitedly: "But, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"I believe you, the lord knows everything about Zhuangzi, don't worry, before you go, the lord must have cleared the way for you, those black-hearted and greedy people must be driven out first, and now the few Zhuangzi in the palace , will be taken over by you temporarily, and you will work very hard in the future."
"Longan is not afraid of hard work, but afraid of half-bad errands." Longan said.
Xiaosun couldn't help hearing that he wanted to take care of several Zhuangzi, and couldn't help asking: "Can he get so much money by himself?"
Zian laughed, "Fool, Guiyuan is in charge, not in accounting. In every village, there is a gentleman who settles accounts. What Guiyuan needs to do is to summarize, check accounts, and be in charge. In the future, he must be accompanied by a few people. , to help you, you can promote the trustworthy people in Zhuangzi yourself, but you must be trustworthy to be promoted."
"Longyuan knows, Princess Xie!" Longan wiped his tears, he never dreamed that he could be the steward of a Zhuangzi, and it was not the steward of a Zhuangzi, but the chief steward of several Zhuangzi.
Xiaosun asked with a smile, "How much will the longan cost in the future?"
She is paid one or two taels of silver a month in the mansion, which is already very good. In other mansions, it is mostly two taels of silver, and at most it is only five sen.
"One hundred and twenty years!" Zi'an said.
"Ah? Ah!" Xiaosun exclaimed, looking at the longan excitedly, "You want a treat."
Longan felt like she was dreaming, one hundred taels of silver a year? This is too much, even the chief manager of Zhuangzi now does not have a hundred taels of silver a year.
"Princess...that's too much, too much!" Longan quickly declined.
Zi'an said: "The salary is reasonable. You have to practice more. As long as you do well, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Xiaosun also earnestly said: "Yes, Wangfei Grace, you are just thanking me, what are you talking about so much?"
Zi An rolled his eyes, Xiao Sun...
Longan went out thankfully, and Xiao Sun kept giggling.
"Why? One hundred taels of silver is yours?" Zi'an snorted.
Xiaosun smiled and said, "Where? I am happy for the longan."
"Happy for yourself?"
Xiaosun blushed like a fire, "Princess is talking nonsense."
Zi Anman said: "Speaking of which, Longan is not young anymore, it's time to get married, I have to ask my mother to pay attention later, to see which girl is virtuous, then..."
Xiao Sun stomped his feet anxiously, his eye circles turned red, "Princess, you are bullying."
Zi'an laughed loudly, "Okay, just kidding, who doesn't know that you girl has longed for her for a long time? When things are settled later, I will take care of the big things for you, okay?"
Xiaosun shyly said: "You can do whatever the princess says, servants are always obedient."
Zi'an leaned forward and backward in joy!
