Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 109
The next day, Bai Shu found her husband and told him that because Xie Ling didn't want to study, she would not come to his class in the future.
Xie Qin was terrified when she heard it.This guy is really good, Xie Ling contradicted him, so he just didn't let Xie Ling come to school again.
Xie Ling is Xie Huaiyu's younger brother, even so.He is a concubine, and he has no relationship with Xie Huaiyu, if he is not honest, he may not have good fruit to eat.
Because of this misunderstanding, Xie Qin became more enthusiastic about Bai Shu, and sent him away one by one.
Bai Shu then went to Xie Ling's yard again, saying that he would take him out.
Xie Ling had already changed into a snow-green costume and waited in the courtyard.
"Heh, with your clothes, those who know know that you are going to work, but those who don't know think you are going on a picnic!" Bai Shu mocked.
"You..." Xie Ling bit her lip unwillingly.
In the past, he was controlled by Lou's family and didn't go out very much.It is rare to go out once, and naturally they are all well-dressed and dressed in Chinese clothes.
This snow blue dress is his favorite, but now Bai Shu said so...
But now he is under the control of Bai Shu, even if he feels dissatisfied, he can only curse secretly in his heart, but he is a coward in face, and he doesn't dare to really hate Bai Shu.
Bai Shu searched in his closet, clicked his tongue and said: "You clothes, all of which are robes and sleeves, how can you do things well. Forget it, just go out and buy another one."
Xie Ling followed him out the door, and sat in a carriage to a commercial street.
When the vehicle stopped, Bai Shu took Xie Ling out of the car and asked the driver to pull over first.
Bai Shu first took Xie Ling into a clothing store.
Xie Ling knew the tailor shop, it was his elder brother's shop, and many of his clothes were made there.
After Bai Shu entered the store, he called a clerk and said, "Where are the cheapest clothes in your house?"
Xie Ling was stunned when he heard this, angry and hated, he scolded Bai Shu for being stingy in his heart.
Bai Shu is not a roundworm in his stomach, so he is naturally unaware of his cursing.But even if he guessed it in his heart, with Bai Shu's temperament, he wouldn't take it seriously at all.
The guy glanced at Xie Ling and was slightly startled. These two little brothers, one is the fiancée of the host family, and the other is the younger brother of the host family. They are both high-status people, so how could they want to look at the cheapest clothes.
But since they wanted it, he naturally wouldn't refute it, so he took the two of them to a corner of the store.
There are some fine cotton clothes, the style is extremely simple, and the color is also very monotonous, it is impossible to have the embroidery and embellishments that Xie Ling likes.
"There is a row of clothes here, all of which are a set of [-] Wen." The guy said.
Their such a big shop mainly sells exquisite clothes, even the cheapest ones, the prices are not low, and they are all made of good materials.
Bai Shu touched the material and felt that it was very comfortable, so he randomly picked out a few pieces and made gestures on Xie Ling's body.
Xie Ling paled and let him make gestures. He didn't like any of these clothes in his heart, thinking that they were similar to those worn by the servants at home.
"You should have all these." Bai Shu nodded and said, "Your complexion is as fair as your brother's, and you look good in any color. You keep these clothes, and you can change them every day when you go out."
Xie Ling hugged those clothes in disgust, he thought they were too many, and even asked him to change them every day!
However, he was angry and resentful, but he could only honestly change into a set of maroon narrow-sleeved clothes.
He was born good-looking, and wearing such simple clothes actually had a special style.
Bai Shu saw him come out after changing his clothes.Then he nodded: "It looks more energetic, and it's easier to do things. The most important thing is that the price is cheap. Come out with me."
Xie Ling: "..."
Bai Shu bought ten clothes for Xie Ling and only spent one tael of silver.
Xie Ling thought bitterly in his heart: "The maid I serve with me costs more than a tael of silver for a suit of clothes, and my clothes are too shabby!"
Thinking of this, Xie Ling was stunned.
In the past, he also knew about the cost of the Xie family's monthly silver every year.
For example, the clothes worn by the servants, which are similar to the one on his body, only cost one tael of silver.The better ones are more than that, and they cost two or three taels of silver.
When he saw this price in the past, he thought it was very cheap. After all, a few taels of silver leaked from the cracks of his fingers. What is a tael or two taels?
But today Bai Shu brought him here to buy some clothes, and he realized that such fine cloth clothes cost only one hundred Wen?The difference between this price and Xie's is too big!
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Xie Ling was in a daze, Bai Shu asked.
"This clothes..." Xie Ling said hesitantly.
"Do you think the price is too cheap?" Bai Shu guessed what he was going to say when he heard the words, so he snorted and said, "It's not because it's cheap here. This shop is already considered expensive in Beijing. Xie's previous accounts I've seen it all, and the price of every flower is more than ten times higher than the price in the capital, and only you can't see it."
When Xie Ling heard this, he couldn't help being very shocked.
In the past, the Xie family's purchasing and selling matters were all controlled by the Lou family.After listening to Bai Shu's words, Xie Ling realized that Lou had made false accounts, and the extra money probably went into her own pocket. No wonder Lou's life was so extravagant.
But these are things in the past.Now that Lou's family is locked up, the housekeeper's power will naturally fall to the other family.
Lord Xie was too lazy to take care of things, so he handed over the matter to his elder brother.According to what this brother Bai meant, the power has now been transferred to him.
Bai Shu walked with Xie Ling for a while, and then arrived at a jewelry store.
The jewelry shop was very big, with two shops side by side, as soon as Bai Shu entered, he was warmly received by the shopkeeper.
Baishu's shopkeeper nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is Xie Ling, your boss' younger brother. From now on, he will help here. He will learn some accounting skills from you, so you have to control him well."
When the shopkeeper Wang heard that he was Xie Huaiyu's younger brother, he dared not restrain him, and quickly said: "Master Xie's family, with such a noble status, how can he work with me? It's really frustrating for him."
But Bai Shu coughed and said, "If you don't accept the shopkeeper Wang, I'll go back and report to your boss. It just so happens that I have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. It's good to let him go to the farm to practice."
If you don't accept it yourself, this brother Bai will send the little brother of the Xie family to farm?
Shopkeeper Wang was in a cold sweat, thinking that this brother Bai was really not a good stubble, to be so powerful.As soon as he came to Beijing, he was about to start grinding out his brother-in-law.
He was afraid that Bai Shu would go back and sue him, and felt that Xie Ling was really pitiful.Then he agreed to take Xie Ling down.
Bai Shu asked Xie Ling to follow shopkeeper Wang to the backyard to learn how to read accounts.
Xie Ling only learned the characters for more than half a year, and he didn't know many characters.Looking at the accounts is also extraordinarily strenuous.
The shopkeeper Wang's patience taught him a bit, and Xie Ling managed to understand a little bit, but he still couldn't understand the rules between those numbers.
"From today onwards, you will check the accounts in this shop every day, and bring them back for me to have a look. If there is any mistake, it will be deducted from your monthly bank account." Bai Shu said, and he glanced at the king again. The shopkeeper said: "Shopkeeper Wang, you are not allowed to help him catch the pen. After all, I will ask him after I go back. If I can't answer, I will know that someone else did the account for him. Then you shopkeeper, I'm afraid Yes, it needs to be replaced.”
Shopkeeper Wang originally wanted to help Xie Ling cover it up.Threatened by Bai Shu, he also gave up this idea. He still has a family to support, and he always puts his errands first.
Xie Ling was angry and hated, but there was nothing he could do.
After Bai Shu left, the treasurer Wang let him sit in a small room, gave him a blank account book and said, "Xie, brother, please read and write slowly here, and the little one will go out to work."
Xie Ling looked at the densely packed accounts, like reading a bible, only then realized that he had learned too little on weekdays.
He wrote for a long time in confusion and guessing, but finally couldn't write any more!He dropped the pen and said angrily: "If you want to deduct the moon silver, you can deduct it. At worst, I don't want this money!"
He has more than one hundred taels of silver per month, and the silver that Xie Huaiyu gave him earlier adds up to nearly a thousand taels.I'm not afraid that Baishu will detain him for a month or two.
Xie Ling just sat in the shop like this, bored, and then went to the front yard to watch the shopkeeper and the guys doing business, which was more interesting than looking at the accounts.
Seeing him coming out, the shopkeeper Wang also wanted to give him advice, so he taught him some jewelry knowledge.How to distinguish the category and price of jewelry also opened Xie Ling's eyes, and felt that it was more interesting than studying in Xie's house.
When it was almost the hour of You, the Xie family sent a carriage over to pick up Xie Ling.
Xie Ling took the unintelligible ledger and got off the carriage.As soon as he entered the house, he was invited to the restaurant by two servants.
In the dining room, Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu were both sitting at the table, when Xie Huaiyu saw him coming, he said to him: "Quickly wash your hands and eat, how are you doing in that restaurant today?"
When Xie Ling heard this, he took a look at Bai Shu.
He originally thought that his elder brother didn't know about it, but he didn't expect that he already knew about it, and even though he already knew, he was still being tortured there, and he didn't know how this brother coaxed his elder brother to listen to him like this.
Xie Ling didn't dare to say anything, although there was resentment in his heart, he had no choice but to clean his hands and sit down at the table.
During the dinner, that brother Bai didn't say much, he just picked up a lot of food for his elder brother, and the two of them looked very affectionate.
Xie Ling was tired outside all day, so he ate a little more in the evening.
After the meal was finished, the servant girl put away the plate, and Bai Shu suddenly said, "Bring the account book you made, and let me check it carefully."
Xie Ling choked, and reluctantly handed the account book to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu opened it, then burst out laughing, handed the account book to Xie Huaiyu and said, "Look at what this booklet is made of. Even the date is written wrong, and the rest is a mess."
Xie Huaiyu looked at it, and his face darkened.
There are two mistakes in the five words of June [-] alone.
Not to mention the following accounts, except for the first two lines, which are still somewhat organized, the latter is just a random number, and the handwriting is still wrong.
"It's just nonsense!" Seeing that Xie Ling was so incompetent, Xie Huaiyu was anxious, and her tone naturally couldn't be better.
He threw the booklet on the ground, pointed to Xie Ling and said, "Look at what you wrote. I have been in school for half a year, and I can't learn a few numbers well. These are what my husband taught me first.
Xie Ling was scolded bloody, with tears in his eyes.
Although his elder brother was unfamiliar with him in the past, he still loves him dearly.But now, after bringing back this country boy, he led him away by the nose.
It's not as good as Lou's that Bai Ge'er made things difficult for him.Will he find a good husband in the future?
Bai Shu got up and picked up the book, and said to Xie Ling: "I said earlier that I would fine your moon silver. For this one typo, you will be fined ten taels of silver. I counted 63 typos in yours. I will fine you." 630 taels."
"630 taels!" Xie Ling was shocked: "I only have 120 taels a month, so where can I give you 630 taels!"
"You don't have any monthly silver this month. Didn't your elder brother give you some back? Just deduct the rest from there." Bai Shu replied lazily.
"You—" Xie Ling couldn't help but want to curse.
I have less than a thousand taels of silver in my hands, and half of this Baishu is deducted!
And it was only the first day, if he made another mistake tomorrow, wouldn't he have to deduct it again.Then where is the silver in his hand!
"By the way, if you have finished withholding the silver in your hands, then deduct it from the moon silver behind you. If you haven't paid it off when you get married, then deduct it from the dowry." Bai Shu laughed: "Be careful, Don't wait until you get married, all the dowry gifts from your husband's family will be withheld by you."
Bai Shu said to Xie Ling seriously, his eyes were so sharp that he trembled, and he believed what this brother said must be true.
What made Xie Ling even more desperate was that this brother was so harsh on him, but his elder brother didn't help him at all.
Instead, he said to him: "Have you heard what your sister-in-law said? You have reached this age, and you should be responsible for yourself. After a while, your sister-in-law will send a servant over to take the money you owe."
Xie Ling returned to the room in a daze, opened his money box, counted out 500 taels of silver and handed it to the boy.
The boy took 500 taels, but still didn't leave. He said to Xie Ling, "It's 510 taels, Young Master Ling. You still owe ten taels."
Xie Ling angrily took out twelve taels and threw them on the ground, shouting: "Take it and get out of here!"
The young man picked up the silver, gave Xie Ling a blessing, and then turned and left.
Xie Ling looked at his money box, and there were only two 200 taels of silver bills and dozens of taels of silver left in it.
Originally, he never cared about money, but today he also took out the bank notes and silver and carefully looked at them for a long time.
Then he counted his jewelry and estimated how much those jewelry were worth.
But his jewelry was also matched to him by Lou Shi, and the price was all reported by Lou Shi.
After the incident about the clothes happened today, Xie Ling knew that the price quoted by Mrs. Lou was unbelievable.
The price of these jewelry for himself may be less than he imagined.
Bai Shu got the bank note that the servant gave him, handed it to Xie Huaiyu and said, "You keep it for him, and return it to him later."
"Okay." Xie Huaiyu said with a smile: "You asked me to cooperate with you in such a play today, I think it can teach Ling'er a lesson."
"If you force him to learn it, he doesn't know what it's useful for, and he won't be able to learn it." Bai Shu said, "It's better to grind him, let him know the usefulness of it, and then he has to force himself to learn it."
Before Bai Shu was in the insect star, in the military academy, not all the female insects were very conscious.But because of the school's assessment system, even those who don't like to learn have to force themselves to study hard.
From this, he thought of Xie Ling. Xie Ling was spoiled and spoiled by Lou's teaching.
Such a person often lacks willpower, so he has to use external force to change, put some pressure on him, and he will do better on the contrary.
"Actually, Xie Ling is more obedient than I imagined." Bai Shu said to Xie Huaiyu.
"Is he still obedient?" Xie Huaiyu said in surprise, "Don't talk nonsense just to coax me."
"It is indeed more obedient than I imagined." Bai Shu said: "After being taught a lesson by you, I was a little afraid of me. If I asked him to do something, even though he was complaining in his heart, he did it."
When he led the troops before, he naturally had a tougher bone than Xie Ling.
For those disobedient recruits, he used more methods.
It's only three months at most, so they must be subdued.In less than half a year, those recruits also convinced him.
For someone like Xie Ling, it's just a few words of scaring and suppression.As long as he has more skills and practice more, he doesn't have to worry about getting married in the future.
Xie Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Shu say this, looked at the bank note in his hand and said, "I just hope that after this beating, Xie Ling can understand your painstaking efforts."
On the second day, when Xie Ling was sent to the shop again, he was careful and took his jewelry box with him.
When he arrived at the store, Xie Ling opened the jewelry box and showed it to Shopkeeper Wang: "Treasurer Wang, please help me to see, how much are these jewelry worth?"
The shopkeeper Wang took the box and carefully inspected the jewelry inside.
He looked at it, then frowned, weighed the jewelry in his hands and said: "Brother Xie, this jewelry... combined is about a thousand taels of silver..."
"Only 1000 taels?" Xie Ling was shocked.
He guessed that the price of these jewelry might have been overquoted by Lou, but if calculated by more than ten times, it shouldn't be only 1000 taels!
"You take this jewelry." Shopkeeper Wang took out a hairpin and asked Xie Ling to hold it, and then took another hairpin from the shop and handed it to him: "You are weighing this..."
Once that hairpin was in Xie Ling's hands, it was much heavier than his own hairpin.
"Why is there such a difference in weight!" Xie Ling pinched the hairpin, not knowing what to say for a while.
He hurriedly took out other jewelry from the jewelry box and weighed them one by one, but none of them was heavier than the hairpin that shopkeeper Wang gave him.
"Brother Xie, look." Shopkeeper Wang said, "The hairpin in your hand is an ordinary gold hairpin in our shop, inlaid with green agate stones, and it is worth about 50 taels of gold."
50 taels of gold, that is, 500 taels of silver can buy this gold hairpin...
"The price of this golden hairpin is not too expensive, but it is heavier than the jewelry in your jewelry box. Because all the jewelry in your box are hollow." Shopkeeper Wang said.
Xie Ling's face turned pale, and a gold hairpin was only 50 taels of gold, but these jewelry heads of his were said to be worth thousands of gold when they were handed out from the public!
He always thought that it was really worth a thousand gold, but he never thought that let alone a thousand gold, even a 50 tael hairpin could not compare.
Such a big box!They're all rubbish!Xie Ling felt resentful...
But he has no choice. Although these jewelry are worthless, he can't lose them.
It's just because he can't afford even a thousand taels now, and when he gets married in the future, he may have to rely on this jewelry to make a name for himself.
Xie Ling put away the jewelry box, and concentrated on looking at the accounts on the table.
He had confiscated more than 600 taels yesterday, and he really dared not make any more mistakes today.
Xie Ling compared the accounts on the table one by one, wrote them down in the notebook, and thought carefully about the calculations.
When encountering someone who doesn't understand or can't write, I even go to arrest the shopkeeper Wang to ask.
Xie Ling asked frequently, and shopkeeper Wang also spoke carefully.
He was very busy this time, until Youshi, when Xie's carriage arrived, and it took him a while to reconcile the accounts.
In the evening, Bai Shu took Xie Ling's accounts over to check.
As soon as he got the notebook, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that Xie Ling had indeed made great progress.Today's accounts are very neat, and there are fewer typos.
After Bai Shu checked it carefully, he still found some mistakes, but compared to yesterday, at least his attitude was much more serious.
But even so, Bai Shu couldn't relax his demands on Xie Ling.
"Today's account is still wrong in ten places, and another 100 taels of silver will be fined." Bai Shu said.
Xie Ling was very distressed when he heard that another 100 taels of silver would be reduced.I completely forgot that a few days ago, I was talking nonsense in class, saying that a Zhuangzi's annual income of more than 1000 taels was nothing special.
Xie Ling made two mistakes in a row, only to realize how poorly he learned Chinese characters before.
Now, when he thinks of the teacher, it's better to recall him.
Seeing that Xie Huaiyu was also at the side, Xie Ling thought for a while, then plucked up his courage and said, "Brother...the school, I still want to go to class..."
Xie Huaiyu hadn't replied yet, but Bai Shu listened to it, but sneered and said, "Class? After working for two days, I want to be lazy and go back to class. I don't know who said that I don't want to learn those boring things. "
Xie Ling blushed and said, "It's not because I'm lazy, but because I want to learn more."
Xie Huaiyu was originally going to agree to Xie Ling, but after hearing what Bai Shu said, he guessed that he might have other considerations, so he followed Bai Shu's words and said: "Bai Shu is right. You have a few days ago I just said I don’t want to learn, and today I said I want to learn something, what does it look like over and over again.”
After hearing this, Xie Ling was extremely disappointed, and his whole body fell down.Only then did Bai Shu say: "You show this appearance to someone, it seems like I bullied you. I don't want you to learn it, but with your brains, even if you learn it, it will be useless. It's not that I underestimate you, if you can calculate the accounts clearly without any mistakes or omissions, I will let you learn, and you can learn as you like."
Xie Ling's face was flushed by Bai Shu's words. Although he didn't learn well before, he was not stupid.How dare this brother look down on him so much!
"Since you have said so, then you will do what you say!" Xie Ling said to Bai Shu: "Don't let me go without any mistakes in my accounts!"
Bai Shu leaned on the armchair, and cast a leisurely sideways glance at Xie Ling, "That's on the premise that you can do it. I hope you can get this account done before you get married."
Hearing this, Xie Ling clenched his fists and walked out.
This brother Bai looked down on him so much, so he wanted to show him.
He didn't believe it anymore, with the treasurer Wang teaching him by his side, he would not be able to do this account well!
At night, Chang Le walked in from the courtyard and reported to Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu: "Young Master, Young Master, after Young Master Ling returned to the room, he went to get a pen and paper to practice calligraphy. I heard that all the writing was numbers, and I kept writing Stop when it's almost time."
Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu looked at each other, with a smile on their faces at the same time.
Xie Huaiyu said: "You didn't let him go to class, it made him more serious. I didn't know that my younger brother is still stubborn."
"He has the same temperament as you, that's how he resembles you." Bai Shu said.
This Xie Ling quarreled with him a few times, and he saw that he was careless, so he really stabbed him, and he ran even faster.
If he immediately agreed with Xie Ling to go back to attend the class, he would work hard for a few days, and maybe he would return to his previous lazy look.
It's better to make it harder for him to fight for it, the harder it is to get, the more cherished it is.
When he goes back to attend classes again, because of this hard-won opportunity, he will learn better and faster.
The author has something to say: raising a child is not easy~ this child is older than Baishu!
Xie Qin was terrified when she heard it.This guy is really good, Xie Ling contradicted him, so he just didn't let Xie Ling come to school again.
Xie Ling is Xie Huaiyu's younger brother, even so.He is a concubine, and he has no relationship with Xie Huaiyu, if he is not honest, he may not have good fruit to eat.
Because of this misunderstanding, Xie Qin became more enthusiastic about Bai Shu, and sent him away one by one.
Bai Shu then went to Xie Ling's yard again, saying that he would take him out.
Xie Ling had already changed into a snow-green costume and waited in the courtyard.
"Heh, with your clothes, those who know know that you are going to work, but those who don't know think you are going on a picnic!" Bai Shu mocked.
"You..." Xie Ling bit her lip unwillingly.
In the past, he was controlled by Lou's family and didn't go out very much.It is rare to go out once, and naturally they are all well-dressed and dressed in Chinese clothes.

Shopkeeper Wang originally wanted to help Xie Ling cover it up.Threatened by Bai Shu, he also gave up this idea. He still has a family to support, and he always puts his errands first.
Xie Ling was angry and hated, but there was nothing he could do.
After Bai Shu left, the treasurer Wang let him sit in a small room, gave him a blank account book and said, "Xie, brother, please read and write slowly here, and the little one will go out to work."
Xie Ling looked at the densely packed accounts, like reading a bible, only then realized that he had learned too little on weekdays.
He wrote for a long time in confusion and guessing, but finally couldn't write any more!He dropped the pen and said angrily: "If you want to deduct the moon silver, you can deduct it. At worst, I don't want this money!"
He has more than one hundred taels of silver per month, and the silver that Xie Huaiyu gave him earlier adds up to nearly a thousand taels.I'm not afraid that Baishu will detain him for a month or two.
Xie Ling just sat in the shop like this, bored, and then went to the front yard to watch the shopkeeper and the guys doing business, which was more interesting than looking at the accounts.
Seeing him coming out, the shopkeeper Wang also wanted to give him advice, so he taught him some jewelry knowledge.How to distinguish the category and price of jewelry also opened Xie Ling's eyes, and felt that it was more interesting than studying in Xie's house.
When it was almost the hour of You, the Xie family sent a carriage over to pick up Xie Ling.
Xie Ling took the unintelligible ledger and got off the carriage.As soon as he entered the house, he was invited to the restaurant by two servants.
In the dining room, Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu were both sitting at the table, when Xie Huaiyu saw him coming, he said to him: "Quickly wash your hands and eat, how are you doing in that restaurant today?"
When Xie Ling heard this, he took a look at Bai Shu.
He originally thought that his elder brother didn't know about it, but he didn't expect that he already knew about it, and even though he already knew, he was still being tortured there, and he didn't know how this brother coaxed his elder brother to listen to him like this.
Xie Ling didn't dare to say anything, although there was resentment in his heart, he had no choice but to clean his hands and sit down at the table.
During the dinner, that brother Bai didn't say much, he just picked up a lot of food for his elder brother, and the two of them looked very affectionate.
Xie Ling was tired outside all day, so he ate a little more in the evening.
After the meal was finished, the servant girl put away the plate, and Bai Shu suddenly said, "Bring the account book you made, and let me check it carefully."
Xie Ling choked, and reluctantly handed the account book to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu opened it, then burst out laughing, handed the account book to Xie Huaiyu and said, "Look at what this booklet is made of. Even the date is written wrong, and the rest is a mess."
Xie Huaiyu looked at it, and his face darkened.
There are two mistakes in the five words of June [-] alone.
Not to mention the following accounts, except for the first two lines, which are still somewhat organized, the latter is just a random number, and the handwriting is still wrong.
"It's just nonsense!" Seeing that Xie Ling was so incompetent, Xie Huaiyu was anxious, and her tone naturally couldn't be better.
He threw the booklet on the ground, pointed to Xie Ling and said, "Look at what you wrote. I have been in school for half a year, and I can't learn a few numbers well. These are what my husband taught me first.
Xie Ling was scolded bloody, with tears in his eyes.
Although his elder brother was unfamiliar with him in the past, he still loves him dearly.But now, after bringing back this country boy, he led him away by the nose.
It's not as good as Lou's that Bai Ge'er made things difficult for him.Will he find a good husband in the future?
Bai Shu got up and picked up the book, and said to Xie Ling: "I said earlier that I would fine your moon silver. For this one typo, you will be fined ten taels of silver. I counted 63 typos in yours. I will fine you." 630 taels."
"630 taels!" Xie Ling was shocked: "I only have 120 taels a month, so where can I give you 630 taels!"
"You don't have any monthly silver this month. Didn't your elder brother give you some back? Just deduct the rest from there." Bai Shu replied lazily.
"You—" Xie Ling couldn't help but want to curse.
I have less than a thousand taels of silver in my hands, and half of this Baishu is deducted!
And it was only the first day, if he made another mistake tomorrow, wouldn't he have to deduct it again.Then where is the silver in his hand!
"By the way, if you have finished withholding the silver in your hands, then deduct it from the moon silver behind you. If you haven't paid it off when you get married, then deduct it from the dowry." Bai Shu laughed: "Be careful, Don't wait until you get married, all the dowry gifts from your husband's family will be withheld by you."
Bai Shu said to Xie Ling seriously, his eyes were so sharp that he trembled, and he believed what this brother said must be true.
What made Xie Ling even more desperate was that this brother was so harsh on him, but his elder brother didn't help him at all.
Instead, he said to him: "Have you heard what your sister-in-law said? You have reached this age, and you should be responsible for yourself. After a while, your sister-in-law will send a servant over to take the money you owe."
Xie Ling returned to the room in a daze, opened his money box, counted out 500 taels of silver and handed it to the boy.
The boy took 500 taels, but still didn't leave. He said to Xie Ling, "It's 510 taels, Young Master Ling. You still owe ten taels."
Xie Ling angrily took out twelve taels and threw them on the ground, shouting: "Take it and get out of here!"
The young man picked up the silver, gave Xie Ling a blessing, and then turned and left.
Xie Ling looked at his money box, and there were only two 200 taels of silver bills and dozens of taels of silver left in it.
Originally, he never cared about money, but today he also took out the bank notes and silver and carefully looked at them for a long time.
Then he counted his jewelry and estimated how much those jewelry were worth.
But his jewelry was also matched to him by Lou Shi, and the price was all reported by Lou Shi.
After the incident about the clothes happened today, Xie Ling knew that the price quoted by Mrs. Lou was unbelievable.
The price of these jewelry for himself may be less than he imagined.
Bai Shu got the bank note that the servant gave him, handed it to Xie Huaiyu and said, "You keep it for him, and return it to him later."
"Okay." Xie Huaiyu said with a smile: "You asked me to cooperate with you in such a play today, I think it can teach Ling'er a lesson."
"If you force him to learn it, he doesn't know what it's useful for, and he won't be able to learn it." Bai Shu said, "It's better to grind him, let him know the usefulness of it, and then he has to force himself to learn it."
Before Bai Shu was in the insect star, in the military academy, not all the female insects were very conscious.But because of the school's assessment system, even those who don't like to learn have to force themselves to study hard.
From this, he thought of Xie Ling. Xie Ling was spoiled and spoiled by Lou's teaching.
Such a person often lacks willpower, so he has to use external force to change, put some pressure on him, and he will do better on the contrary.
"Actually, Xie Ling is more obedient than I imagined." Bai Shu said to Xie Huaiyu.
"Is he still obedient?" Xie Huaiyu said in surprise, "Don't talk nonsense just to coax me."
"It is indeed more obedient than I imagined." Bai Shu said: "After being taught a lesson by you, I was a little afraid of me. If I asked him to do something, even though he was complaining in his heart, he did it."
When he led the troops before, he naturally had a tougher bone than Xie Ling.
For those disobedient recruits, he used more methods.
It's only three months at most, so they must be subdued.In less than half a year, those recruits also convinced him.
For someone like Xie Ling, it's just a few words of scaring and suppression.As long as he has more skills and practice more, he doesn't have to worry about getting married in the future.
Xie Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Shu say this, looked at the bank note in his hand and said, "I just hope that after this beating, Xie Ling can understand your painstaking efforts."
On the second day, when Xie Ling was sent to the shop again, he was careful and took his jewelry box with him.
When he arrived at the store, Xie Ling opened the jewelry box and showed it to Shopkeeper Wang: "Treasurer Wang, please help me to see, how much are these jewelry worth?"
The shopkeeper Wang took the box and carefully inspected the jewelry inside.
He looked at it, then frowned, weighed the jewelry in his hands and said: "Brother Xie, this jewelry... combined is about a thousand taels of silver..."
"Only 1000 taels?" Xie Ling was shocked.
He guessed that the price of these jewelry might have been overquoted by Lou, but if calculated by more than ten times, it shouldn't be only 1000 taels!
"You take this jewelry." Shopkeeper Wang took out a hairpin and asked Xie Ling to hold it, and then took another hairpin from the shop and handed it to him: "You are weighing this..."
Once that hairpin was in Xie Ling's hands, it was much heavier than his own hairpin.
"Why is there such a difference in weight!" Xie Ling pinched the hairpin, not knowing what to say for a while.
He hurriedly took out other jewelry from the jewelry box and weighed them one by one, but none of them was heavier than the hairpin that shopkeeper Wang gave him.
"Brother Xie, look." Shopkeeper Wang said, "The hairpin in your hand is an ordinary gold hairpin in our shop, inlaid with green agate stones, and it is worth about 50 taels of gold."
50 taels of gold, that is, 500 taels of silver can buy this gold hairpin...
"The price of this golden hairpin is not too expensive, but it is heavier than the jewelry in your jewelry box. Because all the jewelry in your box are hollow." Shopkeeper Wang said.
Xie Ling's face turned pale, and a gold hairpin was only 50 taels of gold, but these jewelry heads of his were said to be worth thousands of gold when they were handed out from the public!
He always thought that it was really worth a thousand gold, but he never thought that let alone a thousand gold, even a 50 tael hairpin could not compare.
Such a big box!They're all rubbish!Xie Ling felt resentful...
But he has no choice. Although these jewelry are worthless, he can't lose them.
It's just because he can't afford even a thousand taels now, and when he gets married in the future, he may have to rely on this jewelry to make a name for himself.
Xie Ling put away the jewelry box, and concentrated on looking at the accounts on the table.
He had confiscated more than 600 taels yesterday, and he really dared not make any more mistakes today.
Xie Ling compared the accounts on the table one by one, wrote them down in the notebook, and thought carefully about the calculations.
When encountering someone who doesn't understand or can't write, I even go to arrest the shopkeeper Wang to ask.
Xie Ling asked frequently, and shopkeeper Wang also spoke carefully.
He was very busy this time, until Youshi, when Xie's carriage arrived, and it took him a while to reconcile the accounts.
In the evening, Bai Shu took Xie Ling's accounts over to check.
As soon as he got the notebook, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that Xie Ling had indeed made great progress.Today's accounts are very neat, and there are fewer typos.
After Bai Shu checked it carefully, he still found some mistakes, but compared to yesterday, at least his attitude was much more serious.
But even so, Bai Shu couldn't relax his demands on Xie Ling.
"Today's account is still wrong in ten places, and another 100 taels of silver will be fined." Bai Shu said.
Xie Ling was very distressed when he heard that another 100 taels of silver would be reduced.I completely forgot that a few days ago, I was talking nonsense in class, saying that a Zhuangzi's annual income of more than 1000 taels was nothing special.
Xie Ling made two mistakes in a row, only to realize how poorly he learned Chinese characters before.
Now, when he thinks of the teacher, it's better to recall him.
Seeing that Xie Huaiyu was also at the side, Xie Ling thought for a while, then plucked up his courage and said, "Brother...the school, I still want to go to class..."
Xie Huaiyu hadn't replied yet, but Bai Shu listened to it, but sneered and said, "Class? After working for two days, I want to be lazy and go back to class. I don't know who said that I don't want to learn those boring things. "
Xie Ling blushed and said, "It's not because I'm lazy, but because I want to learn more."
Xie Huaiyu was originally going to agree to Xie Ling, but after hearing what Bai Shu said, he guessed that he might have other considerations, so he followed Bai Shu's words and said: "Bai Shu is right. You have a few days ago I just said I don’t want to learn, and today I said I want to learn something, what does it look like over and over again.”
After hearing this, Xie Ling was extremely disappointed, and his whole body fell down.Only then did Bai Shu say: "You show this appearance to someone, it seems like I bullied you. I don't want you to learn it, but with your brains, even if you learn it, it will be useless. It's not that I underestimate you, if you can calculate the accounts clearly without any mistakes or omissions, I will let you learn, and you can learn as you like."
Xie Ling's face was flushed by Bai Shu's words. Although he didn't learn well before, he was not stupid.How dare this brother look down on him so much!
"Since you have said so, then you will do what you say!" Xie Ling said to Bai Shu: "Don't let me go without any mistakes in my accounts!"
Bai Shu leaned on the armchair, and cast a leisurely sideways glance at Xie Ling, "That's on the premise that you can do it. I hope you can get this account done before you get married."
Hearing this, Xie Ling clenched his fists and walked out.
This brother Bai looked down on him so much, so he wanted to show him.
He didn't believe it anymore, with the treasurer Wang teaching him by his side, he would not be able to do this account well!
At night, Chang Le walked in from the courtyard and reported to Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu: "Young Master, Young Master, after Young Master Ling returned to the room, he went to get a pen and paper to practice calligraphy. I heard that all the writing was numbers, and I kept writing Stop when it's almost time."
Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu looked at each other, with a smile on their faces at the same time.
Xie Huaiyu said: "You didn't let him go to class, it made him more serious. I didn't know that my younger brother is still stubborn."
"He has the same temperament as you, that's how he resembles you." Bai Shu said.
This Xie Ling quarreled with him a few times, and he saw that he was careless, so he really stabbed him, and he ran even faster.
If he immediately agreed with Xie Ling to go back to attend the class, he would work hard for a few days, and maybe he would return to his previous lazy look.
It's better to make it harder for him to fight for it, the harder it is to get, the more cherished it is.
When he goes back to attend classes again, because of this hard-won opportunity, he will learn better and faster.
The author has something to say: raising a child is not easy~ this child is older than Baishu!
