Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Qiao Wanwan knew she was being unreasonable, so she had to bite the bullet and beg for help: "Can you read the account book?"

Bai Zhi's expression was unpredictable for a while, and she finally managed to say, "...Why are you clamoring to be the head of the household if you can't read the account book?"

Qiao Wanwan wanted to cry but had no tears: "How would I know that the head of the family would have to look at the account books?"

Bai Zhi: “…………………………”

It looked like Qiao Wanwan wasn't the only one who couldn't read the accounts. She felt like she was being led into a trap and sighed deeply, "I don't know how to read the account book either. I've never seen one before. Wait for me to find a tutor to teach you."

"A tutor? Tutors only teach unmarried girls. Where are you going to hire one?"

Bai Zhi was stunned: "Can't we invite them? Then who will teach the mistress who hasn't learned how to be the head of the family?"

"How can there be a mistress who has not learned how to be the head of a household?"

"…Listen to what you are saying."

"Well, if it's a married woman, I guess I should ask my mother." Qiao Wanwan changed the subject abruptly, "How come you don't know how to read the account book? Haven't you learned how to be a householder?"

"I have no teaching nanny, and no mother."

"I don't have a mother either."

The two people stared at each other, and inexplicably a subtle feeling of "being wanderers in the same world" arose.

Bai Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "There is a mother in the Marquis's Mansion."

Qiao Wanwan looked unhappy: "I won't go. If I go to ask, my position will be taken away as soon as I go."

"Forget it. I'll go and think of a way. If I can't find someone, I can always find a book."

Qiao Wanwan tightly grasped Bai Zhi's arm, her eyes sparkling: "Third sister-in-law! My good third sister-in-law!"

If we were to find someone to teach, it would be more appropriate to find someone familiar to the head of the household. However, Qiao Wanwan married far away and didn't have many familiar sisters in the capital, and the original owner had no friends at all. Bai Zhi was thinking as she walked, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and thought of someone.

Lu Jiliang.

Bai Zhi remembered that the Lu family had many daughters, and wondered if any of Lu Jiliang's sisters were in the capital now.

She walked back to the water garden.

Gu Yan was sitting by the window reading a book. When he saw Bai Zhi rushing into the room, he thought she was still angry. He paused and said, "What happened just now...I didn't explain it clearly to Zhi Heng, so I offended him."

Bai Zhi: "Oh, you mean that thing... Never mind, the past is the past, now let's move on to the next one."

"Next one?"

"After dinner I plan to meet a friend."

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Is it the Mr. Lu whose visiting card you rejected?"

Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide, quite surprised: "You have a pretty good memory."

"After so many days, it's time to pay a return visit."

"It's not just for a return visit. I need his help with something."

"Is something wrong?"

When talking about this, Bai Zhi sighed: "Qiao Wanwan, this living ancestor, I pushed her to the position of head of the family with great difficulty, but she told me that she doesn't know how to manage the family and can't even read the account book. I have many friends named Lu, and I wonder if there is any girl who can teach me how to manage the family. I'll try my luck."

Gu Yan put down the book and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If I just look at the account book, I can do it."

"What did you say?" Bai Zhi rushed to Gu Yan in two or three steps, her eyes shining, "You can read the account book, is it true or not?"

"Governing a country is like managing a family. My mother taught me to keep accounts."

"That's enough. Let's learn how to read the accounts first. You teach me, and then I'll teach her." Bai Zhi clapped her hands repeatedly. "It's really easy to get without any effort. You know a lot. Next time, I should come to you first to ask."

"Gu Yan is not supposed to be able to manage accounts. If you go and teach Second Sister-in-law, how are you going to tell her then?"

"Don't worry, can't I fool Qiao Wanwan?" Bai Zhi took out a small medicine bag from her bosom, "I almost forgot about this, I borrowed the Ecstasy Powder from Doctor Fang, but I didn't use it. I may not be here when he comes again, so I'll return it to you."

"You'd better stay here. You can protect yourself in case of any emergency." Gu Yan reached back and pulled out a thick book from the bookshelf. "I will be away for a few days starting tomorrow. I have a book on accounting. I will teach you some of it first, and then you will understand the rest."

Those who know this book will see it as a book, while those who don’t know it will think it is a thick brick.

"This..." Bai Zhi flipped through a few pages casually, "The words are too dense! No, Gu Yan doesn't know how to manage accounts, so why is there a book here?"

"There are books on Shaolin Bronze Fist in the study, but that doesn't stop him from being a weak scholar."

"That's true." Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes, "I don't believe it. How hard is it to check the accounts? I can check them after dinner!"

After lunch, Gu Yan began to explain the accounts to Bai Zhi in detail. After half an hour, Bai Zhi's mind was completely blank. Although the accounting method of the Great Yan Dynasty was not as complicated and sophisticated as what she had seen in her previous life, she had also come up with a rather troublesome method.

No wonder Qiao Wanwan couldn’t understand it. Without someone to teach her, who would know what the hell it was?

Another half hour passed, and Bai Zhi's brain was almost burning before she could barely understand what was written in the account book.

"Take a break." Gu Yan closed the book, "I'll teach you later."

"Yes, I need to take a break. But it's just like you said. Once you get over the initial hurdle, the rest will be much easier." Bai Zhi waved her arms and stretched lazily. "I'll go visit my friend later. I'll continue studying in the evening."

"Want to return visit to Master Lu?"

"Yes, it's been so many days, I almost forgot about him, it's reasonable for me to go and see him."

Gu Yan's hands unconsciously rubbed the book lightly and asked, "I have never heard you mention this Mr. Lu. Is he your old friend from childhood?"

Bai Zhi closed her eyes and thought for a while: "Yes, it seems that he is an old friend of mine when I was eight or nine years old. I only met him a few times when I was a child, but he is like a jumping monkey. Hey, didn't you find this person when you checked my background?"

Gu Yan coughed twice and blinked a few times unnaturally: "I... I just checked it briefly, not in detail."

Anyone would investigate thoroughly if such a person of unknown origin knew secrets. However, Bai Zhi did not take it seriously. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, she teased him a few times and passed it over.

After changing into clothes for going out, Bai Zhi bought some gifts to visit Lu Jiliang. According to Lu Jiliang, she asked the driver to drive to the east of the city, asking if there was a family with the surname Lu along the way. Finally, under the guidance of a little kid, the carriage slipped through the gap and arrived in front of a house that looked ordinary.

Bai Zhi ordered the servants to take the gifts and knock on the door, but they were met with nothing. The housekeeper inside said that Lu Jiliang had gone out for something and didn't know when he would be back.

The servant asked, "Madam San, are you going back home?"

Bai Zhi got back into the carriage and said, "We're already out, let's go to Wanjia Street."
