Chapter 2 Settlement in Yang Mansion

When he arrived in Chang'an City, Wang Xinhao realized that he was penniless, and it was difficult to stay or eat.

In desperation, he had no choice but to give it a try and find a way to survive in the city.

After walking for a while, he suddenly found many Confucian scholars gathered outside a mansion.

Out of curiosity, he came to the end and asked one of the Confucian scholars: "Brother, what are you doing? Why have so many people gathered?"

"Don't you know? The Yang Mansion is recruiting Mr. Accountant, and everyone came here after hearing the news."

"Which Yang family?"

"The Yang family doesn't even know? Hongnong Yang family."

When he heard about the Hongnong Yang family, Wang Xinhao reacted and thought to himself: "The Hongnong Yang family is a famous family in the late Han Dynasty. They are the same wealthy family as the Runan Yuan family. If I can get the support of the Hongnong Yang family, what will it mean for me?"

It will be of great benefit to its development.'

Thinking of this, Wang Xinhao thanked the Confucian scholar and joined the queue.

After a while, it was Wang Xinhao's turn.

The Yang Mansion's housekeeper who was guarding the door saw Wang Xinhao walking forward and immediately asked: "Name."

"Wang Xinhao."

"No matter what your surname is, it doesn't need to be said."

Hearing this, Wang Xinhao remembered that most of the names in the Han Dynasty had two characters.

Seeing Wang Xinhao in a daze, the Yang Mansion's housekeeper asked again: "Don't you know your name? Our Yang Mansion will not summon such a person of unknown origin."

"Wang Kai, who was born late, was given the courtesy name Xinhao."

After registering Wang Xinhao's name, the housekeeper of Yang Mansion said: "Okay, you go in and take the assessment!"

"Thank you!" After saying this, Wang Xinhao entered the Yang Mansion.

At this time, a boy led Wang Xinhao to the assessment location of the first level.

I saw an old man sitting in front of a table with an abacus.

Seeing the boy bringing Wang Xinhao over, the old man immediately said: "Does the person here know abacus? If not, just leave on your own!"

"Old sir, I am a late student who knows abacus. Please give me some questions!"

Hearing Wang Xinhao's answer, the old man immediately became interested, because basically none of the Confucian scholars who applied for the job were good at abacus, and he didn't ask many questions.

After finally meeting someone who knew how to abacus, the old man immediately smiled and started taking the exam.

After listening to the questions given by the old man, Wang Xinhao immediately started doing mental arithmetic.

Soon, he told the old man the answer.

The old man looked at Wang Xinhao in shock after hearing Wang Xinhao's answer, because Wang Xinhao's answer was very correct and it took a very short time.

Wang Xinhao saw that the old man kept staring at him, but did not say whether he had passed or not, so he immediately asked: "Old sir, is the answer of late student wrong?"

After hearing Wang Xinhao's question, the old man came to his senses and replied: "Your answer is completely correct. I wonder how you calculated it?"

"this......."

Seeing that Wang Xinhao was about to stop talking, the old man reacted and said: "It's because I'm being rude. You can move on to the next level."

"Thank you, old sir."

In this way, the old man in the first level asked the boy to take Wang Xinhao to the second level.

In this level, Wang Xinhao also quickly read out the correct answer and was then sent to the third level.

At the last level, Wang Xinhao read out the correct answer quickly, because the test content was all basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which was not a problem for him with a higher education.

As Wang Xinhao passed three levels in a row, he was also recruited by Yang Mansion and officially became Yang Mansion's accountant.

Afterwards, the steward of the Yang Mansion also announced the success of the recruitment at the gate and dispersed the Confucian students who were still queuing up.

Although those Confucian scholars who did not get the chance to enter the Yang Mansion were reluctant, they had no choice but to leave. After all, the Hongnong Yang family was a super wealthy family and they could not afford to offend them at all.

Back to Wang Xinhao, after he successfully passed the assessment of the three old accountants, the three old accountants gathered around him to ask questions, because the three of them had a strong interest in Wang Xinhao's computing ability.

Facing the three enthusiastic old accountants, Wang Xinhao was a little at a loss because he didn't know how to answer their questions. He couldn't tell them that he had traveled through time.

Just when Wang Xinhao was a little overwhelmed, the housekeeper of the Yang family came in.

Seeing the three old accountants surrounding Wang Xinhao, Yang's housekeeper said: "Old sir, what are you doing?"

When the three old accountants saw the steward coming in, they immediately dispersed from Wang Xinhao. Then the leading old man replied: "Steward Yang, we would like to discuss arithmetic with this new accountant."

"How unbecoming is it to be noisy! This is the Yang Mansion. You are all old people in the Yang Mansion. Don't forget this rule. Let's disperse first. You will have plenty of time to discuss it later."

After hearing this, the three old accountants immediately agreed and then resigned.

When only the housekeeper and Wang Xinhao were left in the house, the housekeeper of the Yang family said to Wang Xinhao: "Wang Kai, right? From now on you will be considered a member of our Yang family. In the first few days, you should familiarize yourself with the procedures of doing things with some old accountants.

Once you are familiar with the rules and regulations, you can start doing things immediately, no problem!"

"no problem."

"Okay, come with me first, and I'll arrange a place for you."

In this way, Wang Xinhao followed the housekeeper of the Yang family for a while.

After a while, the housekeeper of Yang Mansion took Wang Xinhao to a residence.

Opening the door, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said to Wang Xinhao: "This is your residence."

"Thank you, Butler Yang."

"You stay here first, and then I will arrange for the old accountant to teach you. When you learn how to do it, I will arrange for you to go out."

In this way, Wang Xinhao temporarily settled down in Yang Mansion.

In the next few days, Wang Xinhao began to learn accounting from the old accountants. Because he had a solid foundation, he quickly became a master.

Seeing that Wang Xinhao was able to stand alone, the steward of the Yang Mansion immediately summoned Wang Xinhao and asked him to serve as the shopkeeper in the restaurant controlled by the Yang Mansion in Chang'an City.

After receiving the appointment of the butler, Wang Xinhao immediately packed his luggage and headed for his destination.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Wang Xinhao immediately showed his identification.

When the acting shopkeeper saw that Yang Mansion had sent someone to take over the restaurant, he immediately respectfully led Wang Xinhao to get familiar with the things in the restaurant.

After walking around with the acting shopkeeper, Wang Xinhao immediately said to the acting shopkeeper: "I probably understand almost everything. You can officially transfer the matters in my hands tomorrow."

"No problem, it's the shopkeeper."

After getting the reply from the acting shopkeeper, Wang Xinhao continued: "Go and do your work first! I will take care of it myself."

"Shopkeeper, if you go around by yourself, I won't accompany you. I still have to handle the transfer."
