Acai's Sky

Chapter 658: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

Full of anticipation, Ah Cai led Ginkgo to the dental clinic where they had made an appointment with several maids.

Although this dental clinic is not big, it is bustling with people coming and going.

After some twists and turns, Acai finally succeeded in selecting the two maids from the many people for sale and successfully completed the transaction procedures.

At first, Ginkgo was very confused and puzzled by her young lady's behavior. She really couldn't understand why she would spend money to buy these maids.

However, when she saw Madam Rong and Madam Gu with her own eyes, her doubts instantly disappeared and she was deeply shocked.

I saw that both of the maids had extraordinary bearings, and exuded a noble temperament that was hard to ignore.

Their every move and gesture reveals elegance and grace, as if every movement was carefully crafted and full of unique charm.

Ginkgo thought to herself: Such an outstanding person must have come from the palace!

What is puzzling is how such a powerful character could end up in a place like a pawnshop?

At this moment, Ginkgo was like a well-behaved and cute little puppy, following closely behind Rong Mama and Gu Mama.

She stared at their steps intently and couldn't help but imitate them, trying to learn that dignified and elegant walking posture.

Ah Cai smiled and quietly looked at Ginkgo's serious yet funny expression.

Afterwards, Ah Cai led the two maids back to the Tong family's old house. Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When they arrived at the Tong family's old house, A Cai gave the two maids a detailed introduction to the situation at home and the matters that they needed to take care of.

Among them, Rong Mama took over the management of all the properties left to Acai by her mother. With her rich experience and outstanding abilities, she will be able to handle all affairs in an orderly manner.

Nanny Gu was directly responsible for all the chores in the Tong family's old house and managed the entire house properly.

In addition, Nanny Ying also joined in and was responsible for handling some miscellaneous matters within the Tong family, and dealing with the clan members was naturally no problem.

...

next day

Ah Cai walked into the solemn and dignified meeting hall with light steps, and saw that managers from all over had gathered here early.

Everyone had different expressions, some looking at the new master with anticipation, some with trepidation.

After everyone had arrived, Ah Cai looked around and said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. Let's let bygones be bygones. From now on, we can continue to act as before."

She knew very well that it was not advisable to act hastily at this moment. After all, she had not yet completely cleared out the mountain of account books in the Tong family's old house.

At this time, Aunt Gu, who had been standing quietly by the side, came forward and began to arrange the specific responsibilities and work of each manager in an orderly manner.

Her words were clear and her instructions were precise, which made people secretly admire her abilities.

On the other side, Ah Cai turned around and left with the well-behaved and clever Ginkgo, preparing to go to the study to study and practice calligraphy with her own teacher, Mr. Mu.

Along the way, the master and servant chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At the same time, Aunt Rong and Aunt Gu, who stayed in the conference room, were extremely busy.

In front of each of them were piles of thick account books, almost burying them.

However, faced with such a heavy task, they did not back down.

After some discussion, it was decided to abandon the traditional accounting method, adopt modern advanced accounting methods, and use simple and easy-to-understand Arabic numerals to record accounts.

After several days of sleepless efforts, those originally complicated and lengthy account books were finally reorganized and completed.

What is surprising is that the final number of account books is only a dozen or so. Compared with the astonishing number of account books before, this undoubtedly greatly reduces the workload of subsequent management and review.

Rong Mama sat at the table, carefully looking through the thick pile of account books she had carefully sorted out, and couldn't help but sighed:

"Oh, it's really not easy! Look at these shopkeepers, not a single one dares to enrich himself, all the accounts are flawless."

As she spoke, she tapped the table lightly with her fingers, a look of relief on her face.

Aunt Gu, who was standing aside, frowned tightly, her face full of unhappiness, and she muttered:

"He's the shopkeeper from the Gu family, it would be strange if there were any problems with him!

The Tong family's old house has been controlled by that hateful concubine Dong for several years, and the accounts inside are in a mess!

Take eggs for example, they cost fifty cents each!

Even if they drank sesame oil as water every day, they wouldn't spend that much money!"

At this time, Nanny Ying, who had been idle, hurried over to help organize the account books.

Hearing Aunt Gu's complaints, she quickly snatched the account book, stared at it with wide eyes, and then said angrily:

"you do not say!

In my opinion, all the money here must have gone into Aunt Dong’s pocket!

She even dared to lay her hands on her mistress's dowry. I'm afraid her eyes would have turned red long ago, and all she could think about was how to make money!

After hearing this, Aunt Gu was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed fiercely:

"These ignorant people!

Once we have investigated the matter thoroughly, we must drive all these people back to the village!

Then I will carefully select some honest and loyal people to our young lady and bring them back. I will never allow this traitorous fellow to stir up trouble again!"

Nanny Ying nodded quickly, admiring the two maids so much. It would take her at least half a month to sort out these account books, and she would need help from others.

Look at how they sorted it out in just one morning and even rewrote it. Wow, it must be from a wealthy family.

...

Ah Cai studied with Mr. Mu.

It is said that Mr. Mu was a distinguished Jinshi, but he had no intention of becoming an official in the court.

It was precisely because of this that he was noticed by the old man of the Tong family, who recruited him and placed him in the old house, specifically responsible for monitoring the third son of the family, Tong Yan.

All of Tong Yan's children will study under Mr. Mu.

However, Ah Cai was the only one whose learning progress was much faster than those of her other half-born siblings.

Over time, in order to better teach students according to their aptitude, Acai separated from the others and studied on her own.

Just today, Mr. Mu taught a course on the art of chess.

When hearing the news, Acai's originally calm little face changed instantly.

She quickly dug out the chess records she had memorized from the corners of her brain and recalled them carefully.

When the class started, Mr. Mu was really surprised.

Because the ninth young lady of the Tong family has made such a huge progress in chess skills in such a short period of time!

Many chess games that once left her helpless can now be handled easily and with ease.
