Chapter 166 Sorry for making you laugh
The study room was filled with laughter and disdainful eyes.
In response to this, Zhu Ping'an just bowed his hands, and showed a honest smile to the account room where the most laughter sounded, and said lightly:
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
The three-table accountants thought that Zhu Ping'an had been exposed by them and surrendered, so some accountants showed the face of an elder, saying that it was impossible to improve if they knew the mistakes, but it was not too late to change them. Don't pretend to understand them in the future; some accountants shook their heads and smiled bitterly; some continued to criticize and say things like playing the piano randomly...
In short, the accountants all have a sense of superiority.
Only the black-bellied girl saw clues from Zhu Ping'an's silly smile, and then listened to his sharper tone when he said the laughter, her dark eyes turned and she could hear the strong sarcastic meaning of Zhu Ping'an's words just now.
I laughed at you, but I laughed at you.
Hiding behind and stabbing...
This approach is so in line with this bad boy who appears to be stupid! Unfamiliar people will definitely be sold by him and count the money for him!
For some reason, the black-bellied girl Li Shu was a little convinced. The bad toad, who had different opinions, just said that the account book had made a fake statement.
When the maid of the bun next to the black-bellied girl heard Zhu Ping'an's words, the worry on the bun's face became even stronger. It was bad. This bad guy was really messing around. What should I do if I make an angry master and don't let you borrow a book...
Just as the accountants were preaching with a sense of superiority, they heard the person who was being concentrated on fire and spoke again.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Zhu Ping'an finished speaking with a silly smile, and as the preaching of the accounts, he shook the account book in his hand and slowly spoke. "However, this is indeed a fake account. At least, the book in my hand is."
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
Hey, this guy is still pretending to be excited!!!
So, after a few seconds of quiet, the accountants began to criticize Zhu Ping'an again. The young man was still pretending to be excited. I wonder if you are playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong. I wonder if we are all experts who have been in the account for more than ten years. Is it unbearable!
"Can you understand the account book?" Some accountants laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an replied indifferently, "Yes".
Then the accountant who asked the question refused to admit it. The young man was really stubborn. He was still pretending to behave at this time, right? Then I will expose you today and let you understand that the account book is not as simple as you think, so that it will save you from slandering the scholars!
So the accountant picked up one of the accounts in his hand and stood up, preparing to expose Zhu Ping'an's lies in one fell swoop.
"Since you said you can understand the account book, then let me show you what is the account book on this page?" The accountant opened the account book in his hand and pointed to one of the pages and fired the first shot at Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an took the account book and glanced at it, then said lightly. "This is a daily clear book, that is, a record of the daily clear book. To be precise, this is the exchange price in the daily clear book. This page records that, yes, Zhang San's owes 258 taels of silver... "
After Zhu Ping'an finished reading, the account room standing opposite him seemed to be struck by lightning. With an unbelievable look, he immediately took the account book from Zhu Ping'an's hand and stared at that page for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
This... I can really understand this. The accountant was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
A shimmer flashed in the eyes of the black-bellied girl.
"Miss, that bad guy really understands the account book." The bun maid Huaer's face was flushed, and her little hand pulled the corner of her lady's clothes, murmured in disbelief.
"Is it really possible to understand just by literacy?" Huaer, a maid from Baozi, blinked, and was a little unbelievable.
"You go and get one and come and have a look." The black-bellied girl Li Shu said to the bun maid Huaer.
So, the bun maid Huaer walked to Zhu Ping'an happily and took back the account book in Zhu Ping'an's hand.
This bad guy can understand it, and my lady and I should be able to understand it too.
After the little maid Huaer took the account book back from Zhu Ping'an, she handed it to her lady's hand like a treasure, and then put it on her head and looked with her.
Just a glance, the bun maid Huaer turned black.
What kind of talismans are there in this account book? I still know Chinese characters. I just record the numbers. What are the 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩○? I can’t understand it at all.
The little maid's face was almost squeezed into a bitter melon face.
After confirming that Zhu Ping'an could understand the account book, the three-table account houses there were quiet for a while, and then it became noisy. They could understand the account book. There were many people who could understand the account book, but how many people could be used as accounts, let alone the famous account houses in the county like us. We have been carefully calculating for three days, but we haven't calculated the problem. You have read it for less than a cup of tea, and you just say that the account book is fake. How is it possible! Those who do this batch of accounts must be veterans, and they can't leak water. How could you find that it was a fake account so quickly?
"Zhu Ping'an, come here." After receiving the gesture from the lady, the bun maid waved to Zhu Ping'an.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Ping'an curled his lips.
"Come here." The maid of Baozi pouted.
After Zhu Ping'an walked over, the maid of the bun held the account book and pointed to the place where these things appeared inside, and asked, "What are these ghostly talismans?"
Ghost drawing talisman?
Yes, for most people, such words should be considered ghost-drawn talismans. However, for businessmen in the south, especially in the southern Zhili area, this is very familiar to the accounts of the accountants. These symbols are "business numbers" in the Chinese folk, and can still be found in special characters on computers. This kind of "business numbers" are widely used in ancient business, especially vertical account bookkeeping. Zhu Ping'an also learned it when he was learning ancient Chinese characters. It looked like ghost-drawn talismans, but this kind of commercial numbers is very vivid and easy to learn and master. Even if he is illiterate, he is proficient in writing like a flying pen. It is probably because of this that he became a business number of his colleagues in ancient times.
"This is a commercial number. If 1 is a vertical number, write a vertical number; 2 means two verticals: 〢; 3, three verticals: 〣; 4, is a cross: 〤; we all use abacus. Look at this ancient one, the point above is like abacus to dial the next sub, indicating five, so 〦 is six, and 〧 is seven, which is easy to understand. 〩 means long-lasting, writing faster..." Zhu Ping'an stretched out his finger and pointed at these commercial numbers in the account book held by the bun maid, and explained it in a simple and easy way.
The bun maid Huaer blushed slightly, I don’t know if it was because she was stumped by such a simple number or something.
When Zhu Ping'an explained, the black-bellied girl couldn't help but leaned her head and listened carefully. After listening, she sent out a arrogant and disdainful word "hum".
What, I thought it was so amazing, so it was that simple... (To be continued...)
