Chapter 895 A Careful Butler

Father and Mr. Chen are both novices, so it's good to let them sort out the account books and get familiar with it. Anyway, I heard that the two of them are cold yamen, and they don't have much to do on weekdays.

"no problem."

Afterwards, Bai Xi taught them a simple method of looking at the accounts and keeping accounts by themselves, so that they knew what they knew. As for the yamen, they had to follow the original method, because others might not be able to understand that method of keeping accounts.

That account was sorted out quickly, but the words written by the two of them were really not flattering, Xiao Liu spoke more directly.

"Father, you are not as good at writing as I am."

The difference between Bai Shixiao and Chen Baoshu is half a catty. The former said cheerfully, "We only transcribe the records here, and the handwriting is beautiful."

Wu Lang was a little more mature, and when he saw his father like that, he still preached, "Father, you and Mr. Chen should practice calligraphy, and everything should be recorded and transcribed. What does the Yamen want you two to do?

What's more, you have to write report documents to Shangguan, and practicing calligraphy is good for you. "

His sons were more sensible than him, Bai Shixiao felt ashamed, and Chen Baoshu took the lead to express his opinion, "Master Bai, we practice well every day, and we still don't recognize many of them."

"Then let's practice together and supervise each other."

Chen Baoshu had been thinking about renting a house for a while, and took this opportunity to say: "Okay, my brothers and I plan to go out to rent a house, and when we go to the office, we will check what the other party wrote the day before."

Bai Shixiao was stunned, he was just talking about practicing calligraphy, why did he suddenly switch to renting a house, could it be that they don't feel comfortable living in the mansion, what do they spend their spare money for nothing?

"Live well, what are you renting for?"

They both come from a small place and are on duty in the same yamen. Anyway, it's a waste to have an empty room at home. It's better to let Mr. Chen save some money.

Master Chen talked eloquently, and Bai Shixiao could understand it, and explained the matter thoroughly in just a cup of tea.

Housekeeper Zhou was very efficient in his work, and he found the house the next morning. It was a second-entry courtyard without cross-courtyards, and it was quite close to Changgengbo Mansion.

It's just that the annual rent is at least 300 taels, which makes it difficult for the Chen family's wife. At this price, their rent for several years can buy a small yard.

"Butler Zhou, there are smaller and cheaper yards, no, the yard once the few of us entered is enough."

If everyone earns a good income in the future and is able to bring family members from the south to the capital, rent or buy can be discussed later.

Steward Zhou is a considerate person. He saw that they didn't have much money left, so he had already selected a courtyard near the mansion.

He just wanted to maintain the dignity of the Chen family, so he said that he entered the courtyard first, which is also a respect for the Chen family.

He was also very measured in his reply, "Responding to Mrs. Chen's words, just now I heard the dentist mention that there is a square yard nearby, and it is said that the annual rent is only 100 taels.

If Madam likes it, I'll have someone invite a dentist to come and see if the yard is suitable. "

Bai Xi is very satisfied with the way Steward Zhou handles things.

Having saved a full 200 taels of silver, the lady of the Chen family was very satisfied, "We can rest assured that you are doing things, Mr. Zhou, and I will not go to see the house anymore. I just need to wait for the toothbrush to sign the contract."

Housekeeper Zhou responded and went out, and the lady of the Chen family asked Su to borrow 100 taels of silver to pay the rent, and the remaining taels of silver in her pocket came down to buy some necessary things.

In the afternoon, they moved out non-stop, and there was a group of people missing in the mansion. Su was not used to it for a while, "They only lived for a day or two, and the mansion felt empty after they left."
