Fu Tian frowned. He knew that although his mother looked gentle on the outside, she was actually very strong. She would rather bear it alone than worry him and her sister.

But they are a family, so what can't be solved together?

He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. Fu Tian calmed down his emotions for a while and whispered: "I understand. My mother's body needs to be calm. I will find a way to do what is happening in the shop."

Fu Ji hesitated for a moment, "But the situation on the shop..."

"Uncle Ji should know the situation on the shop, right?" Fu Tian raised his head and his eyes gradually became firm. "Tell me first. As for the uncalculated accounts, I'll find a way."

Fu Ji bowed and told him everything he knew.

There are twenty-eight shops they inspected, and two of them are the nearest Sifang Town, one is in the south and the other is in the north. The remaining twenty-six shops are distributed in various towns in Nanming County, and the two largest rice and grain shops are in Shangming Town.

Shangming Town is the center of the entire Nanming County. Because it is close to the north, anyone who wants to go north to the south of Shangming Town must pass by Ming Town. Therefore, this is the most prosperous and rich town in Nanming County. It covers a wide area and has a large population. In addition, it is more convenient to communicate with the north, so there are also many businessmen.

The two shops in Shangming Town are their focus.

The rice and grain shop of the Fu family is a time-honored brand for decades. It is famous for its conscience in doing business. The rice is given at a price of pounds. It has never been mixed or lacks pounds. It has always had a good reputation and has not made any mistakes in decades. Any shop may suffer losses, but it is almost impossible for these two companies to suffer losses.

But this impossible situation has happened now, and several other shops that have suffered losses for years are more or less close to Shangming Town, or have contacts with Shangming Town. This has to be thoughtful.

If they want to find evidence, their best choice is to start with these two shops. One is that they have been operating for a long time and have past accounts to compare. The other is that they can also kill the chicken and scare the managers of other shops.

He carefully remembered all the information Fu Ji said in his heart. Fu Tian looked at the sky outside and stood up to see if his mother woke up first.

The two of them talked in the study for more than an hour, and it was already noon when they came out again.

At the door, Qingbi was hitting with a bowl of porridge. Qingbi smiled when she saw them, "Mrs. I woke up and asked the young master where he was."

"Is that true?" Fu Tian immediately became happy and strode in in a hurry.

Fu Youqin in the inner room had indeed woken up, put a pillow on the back of her waist and leaned against the head of the bed. Fu Shuyue was carefully feeding her water.

However, although the person has woken up, he has been too ruthless before. Now, once he explodes, his body seems to be hollowed out. He is very weak, and even his voice is weak.

Handing the cup to the daughter beside her, Fu Youqin turned her head and saw her youngest son strode over anxiously. She barely smiled, "What have you done?"

"Li Qingnian came to see me, and I went out to deal with it." I didn't want to ask about my worries at this time, so Fu Tian found a reason to launch Li Qingnian as a shield.

Fu Youqin didn't think much about it and said a few words to him. Qingbi came in with the porridge, so Fu Tian took it over and fed her the porridge.

The medicine is still boiling, so you have to drink some porridge first to keep your stomach hurting your stomach if you are empty-handed.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Fu Youqin's face turned bloody. Seeing that both children were looking at him nervously, and after comforting him, he couldn't hold on to his fatigue and fell asleep again.

Fu Tian took off the pillow behind her, carefully lay it flat and tucked the quilt, and then made a gesture to Fu Shuyue and asked her to speak outside.

Leaving Qingbi to take care of her, the siblings came out, and Fu Shuyue looked at her younger brother who was pursing her lips and was a little surprised, "Is there anything I want me to tell you?"

Fu Tian picked up the matter of the shop and told her, "You can't let your mother work alone. I will find a way to deal with the matter on the shop. You have to worry more about the family."

During her mother's illness, it is best not to bother her if she can bother her by whether she can bother her.

Fu Shuyue didn't expect that she would say this when she asked her out. She looked a little surprised. After reacting, she gently rubbed Fu Tian's head, "Can you deal with it?"

Fu Tian nodded with his lip and said, "Uncle Ji will help me."

"I will take good care of my mother and family. Just do your business." Fu Shuyue agreed softly.

After the division of labor with Fu Shuyue, Fu Tian asked Fu Ji to take him to the study to count the account books.

There was a large wooden box behind the screen in the study. Fu Tian didn't pay attention when he came before. Now, after looking carefully, he found that there were all accounts behind the screen.

The ones I saw were placed outside, and the wooden boxes had not been counted yet. Fu Tian looked at it briefly and found that my mother had only seen half of them during this period.

He bent down and took out a book. Fu Tian flipped through a few pages, and all the numbers were kept in densely packed with them. He couldn't understand them at all!

He sighed worriedly, and Fu Tian asked, "Did you see so many of them by your mother? Why don't you find a few accountants to settle the bill together?"

Fu Ji shook his head helplessly, "Who said he didn't want to find someone? But the accountant's accountant could not trust him, and he was afraid that the noise would leak out too much, so the wife had to take it hard to see it."

Fu Tian pursed his lips, and it was unlikely to find foreign aid from outside. He sighed deeply. He was really worried. It seemed that he could only learn to watch it first.

A person suddenly appeared in his mind, and Fu Tian's expression suddenly became excited. Maybe he could try to ask Zhou Chuanqing for help.

After a quick explanation to Fu Ji, Fu Tian ran to the East Courtyard.

Zhou Chuanqing and Chu Xiangtian were playing chess in the yard. When Chu Xiangtian saw him coming, he threw the chess piece on the chessboard and looked at Fu Tian with concern, "Auntie is okay?"

Fu Tian said: "The doctor said it was too tired, just take a rest."

Chu Xiangtian looked at his worried expression and frowned, "Since it's okay, why are you still frowning?"

Fu Tian pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking at Zhou Chuanqing and said, "I want to ask Brother Zhou to help me."

Zhou Chuanqing didn't expect it to be related to him. He threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess jar, "What can I help?"

Fu Tian was a little difficult to say. After all, Zhou Chuanqing, a Tanhualang, was willing to be his master, and now he wanted to teach him how to read the account books, which was really a bit more and more.

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Tian still said with shamelessness.

"Can you teach me how to read the books?"

Unexpectedly, this is the request, but looking at Fu Tian's expression, Zhou Chuanqing raised his eyebrows, "Why do you have to learn to read the account book? Do you want to take over the family business?"

Fu Tian nodded slightly and briefly mentioned the matter on the shop. There was a layer of gloom between his eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing him like this, Chu Xiangtian felt a little distressed. Before Zhou Chuanqing could speak, he rubbed his head first, "Zhou Chuanqing can do everything, he will teach you."

Fu Tian's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Chuanqing expectantly.

"..." He glanced at Chu Xiangtian lightly, and Zhou Chuanqing said with a smile: "Yes."

Taking out the account book I brought over from my sleeve, Fu Tian couldn't wait to say, "Is it OK now?"

He looked at Zhou Chuanqing with a gaze. Like a pitiful little animal, Chu Xiangtian secretly tsk, pressed the person to the table and sat down, picked up the chessboard on the table, and said, "He is very idle, he can do it anytime."

Zhou Chuanqing twitched his lips, glanced at him again, sat down opposite Fu Tian, ​​took the account book and looked carefully first.

The account book brought by Fu Tian was recorded very clearly. He looked through it briefly and found no problems. So he taught him how to read it first.

Chu Xiangtian held a grass in his mouth and leaned against the corridor column of the pavilion. His eyes fell on the young master's back as if nothing had happened. As he looked, he felt even more distressed. The young master must have been worried about the Fu family's two consecutive issues.

The person who was so cute and charming before, his hands were so strong that his eyes were red when he was pinching his hands. However, since he went down the mountain, except for the time he was drunk, Chu Xiangtian never saw him cry again.

He has always been afraid of seeing the young master crying, but now he feels that it is better to cry more than to keep silent in his heart.

He sighed slightly and saw that the two of them were still concentrating on studying the books, Chu Xiangtian walked out and walked around the East Street. He finally found a seller of pine nut candy. The pine nut candy was transparent and round, and the sweet fragrance could be smelled from a distance. He bought a pack and packed it in lotus, and then he was satisfied to go back.

The account book is not difficult to understand, and the content that is too profound cannot be learned in a short while. Zhou Chuanqing circled out several places he needed to focus on, and then taught him a simplified abacus. Fu Tian held a small abacus and plucked the beads in awkward manner towards the account book.

Fortunately, after he was reborn, his memory became better and better, and he could quickly remember everything he had seen. After calculating twice, he almost mastered the method, but he was not yet skilled and his movements were very slow.

He held the account book and thanked Zhou Chuanqing with gratitude.

When Zhou Chuanqing saw his well-behaved and sensible appearance, he remembered his younger brother who was causing trouble everywhere at home. He couldn't help but sigh that it would be too worry-free if he had such a younger brother.

As soon as Chu Xiangtian came back, he saw Zhou Chuanqing's hand stretching towards Fu Tian's head. His face turned black and he coughed heavily.

The bandit leader came back, Zhou Chuanqing paused and patted Fu Tian on his shoulder instead, "If you still don't understand, you can ask me anytime."

Fu Tian nodded, thanked again, and then turned around and was about to run out. Chu Xiangtian stopped him in time and stuffed the small purse containing pine nut candy into his hand.

Fu Tian looked at him blankly.

"Pinenu Candy." He reached out and pointed his hand at the frown of his subconsciously, "Don't frown like a little old man all day long."

Fu Tian raised his hand and touched his forehead, looked at the pine nut candy in his hand and then looked at the man who was much taller than him. He immediately understood what he meant and hung his purse around his waist. Fu Tian showed him a soft smile, "Thank you."

"Go." Chu Xiangtian gave way, knowing that he was anxious, and did not waste his time too much.

Fu Tian pursed his lips, there were some shiny little stars in his eyes, and then ran away like a wind in his arms.

After going directly to the large study in the main courtyard, Fu Tian moved out part of the unfinished account books and looked at them page by page according to Zhou Chuanqing's method. If he thought there was something wrong, he would calculate it again.

After reading one book with difficulty, Fu Tian continued to read it down. After reading two books, his speed gradually increased. There was only the sound of fiddling abacus in the quiet study.

Dai Fu brought the supper to the study room, and he never saw anyone coming out. Dai Fu went to the study room to look for him. Seeing that he was buried in a pile of books, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he gently placed the food next to him.

Fu Tian buried his head for almost two hours, then raised his head and found that it was already dark outside. Rubbing his dry eyes, Fu Tian gently kneaded his wrists, but smelled the aroma of the food next to him.

There was a food box next to the desk. I guess I was afraid of the cold, so I even placed a small stove underneath, and the food box was placed on the stove with water.

Fu Tian took out the food box, which contained three dishes and one soup, and they were still emitting a warm aroma.

Picking up the chopsticks, Fu Tian quickly filled his stomach and shouted outside, asking Dai Fu to remember to take away the stove and food box, and then continue to bury his head in the account book.

Dai Fu came in to pack up his things, fearing that the lights would hurt his eyes too dark, so he added two more candles to him before he quietly left.

...

Chu Xiangtian kept paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the yard, but he didn't hear any movement until midnight passed. The young master didn't come back all night.

Frowning, he looked to the main courtyard and found the entrance of the big study room. He saw a bright light inside, and a slender figure reflected on the window paper.

Chu Xiangtian gently pushed the door in, but Fu Tian didn't even raise his head, focusing on flipping the accounts and fiddling the calculation beads with the other.

I wanted to speak out and ask him to go back and rest first, but when I saw him like this, Chu Xiangtian hesitated a little, and finally didn't say anything, and just quietly accompanied him.

The candles on the table became shorter bit by bit, and the shed wax tears stacked on the candlesticks layer by layer. They were busy until the second half of the night, and Fu Tian couldn't hold on. He yawned tiredly, and his head was sleepy little by little.

After barely holding on, he looked at two more pages, but he still couldn't hold on. He was still holding the account book in his hand, and he lay on the table and fell asleep tiredly.

Chu Xiangtian, who was waiting, sighed, stepped forward and patted him gently, and told him to get up and go back to sleep. Fu Tian was so sleepy that he buried his face in his arms in annoyance.
