Wang Jinyi wanted to examine whether the person was useful. If so, he would leave one outside the mansion to run errands for him. If the person was smart, he could become his helper.

Oh! It would be great if I could have a capable helper! Then I could implement my plan to find Chen Zhiyuan smoothly.

What happened next was as if God heard Wang Jinyi's thoughts and everything went unusually smoothly.

As long as you send a note to Qing'er, the mansion will send a servant to deliver the letter.

Well, let's just register with Qing'er. As long as Qing'er knows, it will be done quickly.

As expected, the next day, Wang Jinyi's mother brought her to No. 9 Yongxing Lane, and just as they were about to get off the carriage, Wang Jinyi saw a young man in shorts standing by the door. When he saw the carriage coming, he pulled up his clothes and stood up.

Wang Jinyi immediately recognized the number.

This person looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was neatly dressed. In order to meet people, he combed his hair and wore cloth socks.

There are patches on the shoes, but all the patches are the same color and are sewn with embroidery thread, which shows that the hostess of the house must have a background. Now, the young man is bowing respectfully to perform the scholar's etiquette.

Listening carefully, I heard the doorman saying that someone from the young lady's head maid's family had come, and asked her to go into the doorman's office and wait.

Zhu Yu was pulled by the young lady and handed the things he was going to carry out of the carriage to the nurse. Wang Jinyi lifted the curtain and asked:

"Is this your second brother?"

"Who, who?"

Zhu Yu looked out of the car and saw his second brother, Zhao Liuzhu, walking into the courtyard with the servants.

"Give this to him for me, and have him write it in the concierge's office. When it's done, pass it to me, and don't let anyone else do it."

You know, in this era, this is a private transfer! It is a big taboo, but there is nothing I can do about it. Deep in my soul, I don't have this nerve at all!

What's more, employing people is important!

What Wang Jinyi gave Zhu Yu was a few questions, or rather a small test paper.

There are not only simple arithmetic, simple accounting, but also elementary knowledge assessment, the purpose is to find out the cultural level of this person.

Because I can't get in touch with the person in person and don't know his character or morals, I can only try it bit by bit.

When I saw him outside the door just now, I could tell that he was a very polite person.

Zhu Yu stayed at the gatehouse and watched the young lady follow the wet nurse without looking back.

Zhu Yu tightly grasped the note in her hand, her palms sweating from nervousness. Zhao Liuzhu was happy to see that his sister was wearing new clothes, neatly dressed, and the servants were bowing to her respectfully.

It seems that her sister has only been here for less than a month and she has gained weight. Zhao Liuzhu smiled as he stood in the gatehouse.

He was really happy for his sister. He had heard that the Wang family was more famous than the Cheng family and was afraid that his sister would not be able to adapt. But after meeting them today, he felt relieved.

Without even a word of greeting, Zhu Yu went straight to the point.

"Brother, sit down and write down everything on this paper. Hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"

At the same time, Wang Jinyi followed the nanny and said goodbye to her mother who was busy in the front yard. As she walked towards the backyard, she thought: Zhu Yu is still young and this is the first time for her to do something for herself. I wonder if she can... Let's talk about it...

In the front yard, Zhu Yu was sweating as he urged his second brother. Zhao Liuchu just opened his mouth:

"Are you doing well at Wang's house? I really miss you..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yu got anxious and pushed the pen and inkstone in the lobby in front of her brother:

"Oh! Don't waste time, sit down quickly."

Zhao Liuzhu looked at his sister, not knowing what was going on. Then he looked at the note in his hand. He sat down again and unfolded the note.

"Who told you to...? You're not a lady's...?"

Before Zhao Liuzhu finished speaking, Zhu Yu rebuked him:

"Outsiders are not allowed to ask about the affairs of the mansion. Even if you ask, I won't tell you. Just follow this. I'm waiting for the consequences."

Seeing his sister's expression, Zhao Liuzhu picked up the small short brush used by the concierge. He began to read the requirements on the note and was stunned. This was clearly a test paper!

There were accounting problems, calculation questions, general knowledge tests, summaries of daily farming conditions, and he was even asked to describe what Zhu Yu was wearing today.

Looking at this small piece of paper and two blank pages, Zhao Liuzhu felt like he was taking a private school exam.

Looking at his sister, he would secretly open the door and peek outside, then turn around and take another look.

I was confused and wanted to ask what was going on, but Zhu Yu came over from the door and urged:

"Second brother, hurry up."

Zhao Liuzhu thought: Maybe it’s Miss Wang who wants to know more about her family.

In order not to make things difficult for his sister, he picked up his pen and wrote while thinking. In less than an hour, he had written a rough outline and handed it to Zhu Yu.

Then he took out a handkerchief from his bosom,

"Wu Ya, are you doing well at Wang's house? Mother misses you so much..."

As he did so, he opened the handkerchief. The door of the concierge opened and closed, and Zhu Yu had already gone out, leaving Zhao Liuzhu unsure whether to leave or stay. Fortunately, Zhu Yu ran back and shouted through the door:

"Brother, wait for me here for a while!"

It is not an exaggeration to describe Zhu Yu's walking speed as "the wind is blowing under his feet". Just as Wang Jinyi heard the sound of Zhu Yu's "thump thump thump" footsteps, the door was pushed open.

The nurse was busy tidying up the young lady's wardrobe and bed. Then she saw Zhuyu come in and thought that Zhuyu had been called by the lady:

"What do you want, ma'am?"

Then Wang Jinyi said:

"Nurse, Zhu Yu and I will go to each room to check. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he took Zhu Yu's hand and ran to the next room.

I took the two pages of paper from Zhu Yu's hand and thought about it, realizing that my character was illiterate.

"Hmm~ Has your brother eaten yet? There are snacks in the carriage. Take them and give them to your brother and then come back."

Zhu Yu didn't understand the young lady's intention, but when he thought of his second brother, he smiled, thanked the young lady and left.

Wang Jinyi quickly found a big chair and unfolded the two pages of paper in his hand.

The neat small characters are displayed in front of us, and the occasional corrections are all circled, without any traces of erasure. This person's good writing habits can also be understood as a good attitude towards academic research.

The pure calculation questions were basically correct, but what followed was a small diary account made by Zhao Liuzhu himself. The classification was not detailed enough and was only divided into two parts: consumption and income.

There is nothing wrong with the enlightenment knowledge, which shows that this person has a good basic knowledge.

Regarding farming, he wrote about the spring ploughing at the beginning of the year and also wrote about the basic situation of the family members.

The description of Zhu Yu's clothes was also compared with the situation at home, and finally the author thanked the Wang family for taking care of Zhao Wuya.

: Well, he is a man with a plan in mind.

Since fate has sent you to me, it must be you! This may be the first person who belongs to me!
