The den was filled with laughter, and disdainful glances.
In response, Zhu Pingan only arched his hand, towards where the laughter was most intense in the study, revealing a naive smiling face, his mouth faintly said:
“Sorry to make you laugh.”
The accountants at the three tables thought that Zhu Ping An had been pierced through their disguise and had gone soft, so some of the accountants showed a face of a senior, saying that there is nothing better than knowing your mistakes and being able to change them, that it is not too late to change your mistakes, and that it is better not to be so ignorant in the future, and so on; some of them shook their heads and laughed bitterly; and others went on to point out that what they were saying was nonsense and so on … …
In short, the accountants are with a sense of superiority.
Only the dark girl could see the clues from Zhu Pingan’s simple smile, and then listening to his aggravated tone when he said “see the smile”, her dark eyes turned down, and she could hear the strong mocking meaning of Zhu Pingan’s words just now.
See smile, cheap smile.
Hiding in the back and stabbing the knife ……
This approach is too suitable for this superficially naive bad boy! Anyone unfamiliar with him is bound to get sold and count the money for him!
For some reason, Li Shu, the belly girl, was somewhat convinced that this bad toad with a different appearance just now seemed to mean it when he said that the account book had been falsified.
Belly black girl beside the bun maid heard Zhu Pingan’s words, that bun face of worry more thick, bad, this bad man is really messed up ah, angry master, not let you borrow books how to do ah ……
Just as the bookkeepers were preaching with a sense of superiority, they heard that the object of the set fire then spoke again.
“I’m sorry for making you laugh cheaply.” Zhu Pingan finished with a simple smile, amidst the didactic voices of the accountants. He then shook the ledger in his hand and slowly spoke. “However, this is indeed a fake account that was made. At least, this one in my hand is.”
The room was quiet for a few more seconds.
Achey, this one is still pretending!!!!
So, after a few seconds of silence, the accountants began to verbally attack Zhu Pingan again, this teenager is still pretending to be strong, do not know that you are playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong, do not know that we are all in the accountants mixed more than 10 years and decades of masters, can be tolerated!
“Can you read the ledger?” A bookkeeper scoffed.
The words just fell. He heard Zhu Pingan over there faintly return a word, “Can.”
Then the question of the accountant will not recognise, this young man is really hard, to this time is still pretending, like to pretend it, then I’ll break you today, let you understand that the account book is not so simple as you think, save for my generation of readers to smear!
So, that accountant then picked up the hands of an account book got up, ready to expose Zhu Ping An’s lies.
“Since you said you can read the account book. Then show me, what do you remember on this page of the ledger?” The bookkeeper casually turned over the account book in his hand and pointed at one of the pages to Zhu Pingan to fire the first shot at the fake.
Zhu Pingan took the account book and glanced at it, then he spoke faintly. “This is a daily clearing book, which is also known as a running account, to be precise this is the current book of the daily clearing book. This page is recorded as, well. Zhang San goes goods owed to go account silver two hundred and fifty eight taels ……”
Zhu Pingan finished reading, opposite the standing accountant as if lightning struck. With an unbelievable face, he immediately took the account book from Zhu Pingan’s hand and stared at the page for a long time, unable to return to his senses.
This …… this can really read it, that accountant is dumbfounded, long time can not issue a word.
The belly girl s eyes flashed a bright light.
“Miss, that bad man, really can read the ledger ah.” The bun maid painting child’s small face was flushed, her small hand tugged at the corner of her own young lady’s coat, murmuring with disbelief.
“Is it true that if you can read, you can read?” The bun maid, Painter, blinked her eyes, somewhat less convinced.
“You go get a copy and take a look.” Li Shu, the dark girl, nudged her mouth at the bun maid, Painter.
Thus, the bun maid, Painting Er, walked upside down to Zhu Pingan’s side and asked for the account book in Zhu Pingan’s hand back.
If this bad guy can read it, Miss and I should be able to read it as well.
After the little bun maid, Painter, took the account book back from Zhu Pingan, she handed it over to her own young lady as if she was offering it as a treasure, and then put her head up to look at it together with her young lady.
After just one look, the bun maid, Painter, blackened her face.
This account book inside is what the ghost drawing ah, Chinese characters but also know, just record the number of these coffee mumble 〢〤〥〦〧 〨〩○ are what ah, can not read ah.
The little maid’s bun face is almost squeezed into a bitter melon face.
The three tables of accountants over there, after confirming that Zhu Pingan can read the books, quiet for a while, and then noisy, can read the books of what ah, can read the books of the more, but can be the accountants of how many, let alone we are such a county are famous accountants, we carefully accounting for three days, have not accounted for the problem, you just look at the less than a cup of tea, and then said that the book is forged, how can! How is that possible? Doing this batch of accounts must be the old hand in the old hand, watertight, how can you be so fast to find out is to do false accounts.
“Zhu Pingan, come here.” The bun maid waved at Zhu Pingan after getting a sign from the young lady.
“What for?” Zhu Pingan skimmed his mouth.
“Come over here.” The bun maid pouted.
After Zhu Pingan walked over, the bun maid then held the ledger and pointed to the place inside where these coffee muffins appeared and asked, “What are all these ghostly symbols?”
Ghost painting symbols?
It was also true that for the vast majority of people, such words should be considered ghostly symbols. But for the merchants and bookkeepers in the south, especially around Nan Zhili, during this period, this would be familiar. These symbols are Chinese folk “commercial numbers”, which can still be found in the special characters of computers. This kind of “commercial numbers” was widely used in ancient commerce, especially for keeping accounts in vertically-written ledgers. Zhu Pingan also learnt it when he was studying the ancient Chinese characters, it looks like a ghost drawing, but this kind of commercial numbers is very strong image, very easy to learn and master, even if you are illiterate, write it out, it is also as skilled as a flying brush, I guess because of this, it has become the ancient counterparts of the commercial numbers.
“This is a commercial number, 1 will write a vertical coffee; 2 is two vertical: 〢; 3, three vertical: 〢 mumbles; 4, is a cross: 〤; we are all with the abacus, you see this ancient 〥, a little bit above it is like the abacus on the file to dial down a sub, said five, so 〦 is six, 〧 is seven, it is very good to understand. 〩 is the cursive form of jiu, written a little faster ……” Zhu Pingan stretched out his finger on the ledger held by the bun maid pointing at these business figures, explaining them in depth.
The bun maid, Painter, slightly reddened her face, not knowing if it was because she was ashamed of being embarrassed by such simple numbers or what.
When Zhu Ping An was explaining, the dark girl also couldn’t help but put her head together and listened carefully, and after listening, she let out a haughty and disdainful “hmph” word.
What well, thought how powerful it, so simple!
