Gao Ding collected the test papers of both of them. He first took out Meng Deyi's test paper and examined it carefully from top to bottom. His originally serious face softened slightly, and he even showed a smile of approval.
"good!"
Gao Ding finished reading Meng Deyi's test paper and gave a rare compliment. He turned around and picked up Liang Yan's test paper again. He also examined it carefully. When he read the end, he couldn't help but frown.
stand up.
"Ahem. It's a bit difficult now. Both of you got perfect scores on the test papers. All the loopholes in the accounts were not hidden from your eyes." Gao Ding said directly.
After hearing Gao Ding's words, Meng Deyi immediately turned to look at Liang Yan, a trace of surprise flashed across his originally calm and indifferent expression.
"We only have one accountant in the Miao Mansion, but now both of you have actually passed the exam." Gao Ding held the test paper in one hand and tapped it carelessly on the table with the other hand, as if he was considering his choice.
who.
After a long time, Gao Ding suddenly reached out and slapped his forehead, thinking to himself: "It's me, Gao, who is confused! Tang Yu and Meng Deyi both passed the two rounds of tests with full marks. With such talents, can't our Miao Mansion raise one more?"
?”
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Ding put away all their test papers and stopped mentioning the exam. Instead, he asked, "What do you two think of our Miao Mansion?"
Meng Deyi chuckled and said: "Mr. Miao is a third-rank official in the dynasty. He is fair and honest, and is a role model for our generation. The high-ranking family members take care of the housework for Master Miao, and they clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, and manage the house in an orderly manner."
Meng Deyi slapped the horse loudly. Liang Yan smiled slightly, clasped his fists towards Gaoding and said, "Brother Meng and I have the same views."
The smile on Gao Ding's face became brighter and he said: "Since both of you are satisfied with my Miao Mansion, how about staying together in the manor and serving Lord Miao?"
Meng Deyi frowned slightly and said, "But there is only one position for Mr. Accountant."
Gao Ding chuckled and said: "It is true that Mr. Accountant only recruits one person, but Mr. Miao has a high position, so he naturally needs some people around him to make suggestions. If you two are interested, our Miao Mansion can have one more person."
As soon as Gao Ding said this, Meng Deyi was immediately moved. You must know that although the accountant manages the money transactions in the mansion, it is only on the surface. Some secret transactions will not be known to the accountant at all, so he has never been able to contact the Miao Mansion.
core group.
But it's different when you serve as a staff officer. They are there to make suggestions for Miao Yue. When encountering some unresolved matters, Miao Yue will naturally come to inquire about these offerings, and his future and status will naturally be higher than those of the accountant.
He glanced at Liang Yan, but saw that the scholar in Tsing Yi didn't seem to be very enthusiastic. He couldn't help but feel moved, and said first: "Then Meng will boldly ask for a position as a priest!"
When Liang Yan saw him speaking, he also smiled slightly and said: "Since Brother Meng has spoken, Tang should be a bookkeeper. I will work with you all in the future. Please give me your advice!"
Gao Ding couldn't help but smile when he saw that the two of them had reached an agreement, which actually coincided with his expectations.
In his opinion, Meng Deyi is older than Liang Yan, so he should be more understanding of people and have more knowledge. He will naturally be more capable in making suggestions for Miao Yue. Looking at Liang Yan, who is only in his early twenties, he may be lacking in experience.
.
"Okay, that's the case." Gao Ding clapped his hands again, and a servant came in immediately. He continued to say: "Mr. Tang, this servant will take you to the accounting room. You can get familiar with it first today, and it will be official tomorrow."
start."
Liang Yan bowed his hands to the two of them, turned around and followed the servant out of the room without saying anything.
Miao Yue was a third-rank official, and the Miao Mansion occupied a large area. Liang Yan followed the servant and walked for half a stick of incense before arriving in front of a low house.
"Mr. Tang, the accounting office is here." The servant said very respectfully.
Liang Yan nodded and suddenly asked: "There seems to be some noise in the yard next to me. I don't know where it is?"
The servant glanced at the yard next to him, seemed to be a little afraid, and said timidly: "That is where our Miao guards practice. On weekdays, Commander Zhao supervises everyone's practice here. Even the servants like me are required to do it every day."
Going to training once every month is really torture."
"I see." Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that my accounting room is right next to the Miao Mansion's martial arts training ground, so it's a bit noisy."
After hearing this, the servant immediately shook his head and said: "Sir, don't worry, this accounting room is a quiet room. As long as you enter it, you won't hear the shouts of these big bosses."
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Then just go in."
He pushed open the wooden door first and saw that although the accounting room was small, the interior furnishings were very elegant. On the bookshelf next to it, there were many files and account books, which were neat and clean without even a trace of dust.
Apparently, although the position of Mr. Accountant of the Miao Mansion has been vacant for some time, there are people who often come to take care of the accounting room, so that the things inside are as they always are and are not covered in dust at all.
Liang Yan was quite satisfied with this place. He was conducting secret investigations in the capital, and he really needed a place to conceal himself from others. Moreover, Miao Yue was a third-rank official in the dynasty, so he might be able to get some information from him to facilitate his future actions.
He sent the servant out, sat down at the desk in the accounting room, briefly looked through some old files, closed the account book, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
As for the accountant of the Miao Mansion, he didn't have much to do. Miao Yue was an upright official, and there were very few fishy things in his family's account books. And Liang Yan was also very sharp and clear. He only spent half a day doing the account books in the morning.
It can be completed in an hour.
As for socializing, except for the occasional executive who comes over to check the accounts, almost no one bothers him.
Therefore, during Liang Yan's stay in the Miao Mansion, he worked in the accounting room every morning, and then meditated and practiced, so he lived a leisurely life.
Five days suddenly passed. In the morning, Liang Yan was filling in the account books in his room. Suddenly his eyebrows raised and a strange look appeared on his face.
I didn't see him making any moves, he just shook his body and disappeared into the room in an instant.
In the backyard of the accounting room, a girl with a handsome face wearing a blue military uniform was sneaking over the wall and entering.
This girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows. She wears a green round hat on her head, with all her hair tied up in it.
She looked around for a while, and after confirming that no one was there, she lightly jumped into the courtyard. Her hands and feet were clean and neat, and she looked familiar. It was obviously not her first time here.
