With a note recording the accounts, 'Flat Hair' flew back to Merry Forest and entered Guo Jiao's boudoir through the window. However, there was no one in the boudoir, so it flew to the training room. Guo Jiao, who was lying on the floor last night, didn't move at all. She just slept lazily.
'Flat Hair' landed beside Guo Jiao, put down the note, and shouted, "Young Lady, Young Lady, wake up. I found an old lady who's older than you but hasn't married. You're no longer the woman who 'wants to marry but can't' in all of Fushun and Liaodong. "
"Flat Hair, shut up." Guo Jiao turned over and covered her ears, no longer responding.
'Flat Hair' continued, "That old lady isn't as pretty as Young Lady, but she can order ten men to work. She's also very good at accounting, which is much better than you. The instrument she uses for accounting is very special. I've never seen or heard of it. Young Lady, Young Lady, wake up. "
Guo Jiao had no choice but to open her eyes slightly when she heard Flat Feather's incessant yelling. She clumsily got up and walked into the bathroom with her messy hair. Amidst the sound of water, she heard the young lady ask in a daze, "Flat Hair, what are you talking about?"
"Young Lady, that little rascal took Merry Forest's account book to organize. He actually found something in one morning." 'Flat Hair' shouted outside the bathroom, "We've overpaid for the goods we bought over the years. I'll go collect the bill later."
"What little rascal?" Guo Jiao walked out again and kicked the empty wine gourd on the floor. She couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh, "Did I drink too much last night? This drinking habit is really terrible. I can't get rid of it. Once I drink, I get drunk. Once I'm drunk, I forget things. What happened last night? Who's this little rascal? "
"So the little rascal is Zhou Qingfeng, the kid who took advantage of our bookstore." 'Flat Hair' was not surprised by his young lady's amnesia at all. He told her everything in detail.
Guo Jiao didn't have much of a reaction when she heard that she had saved Zhou Qingfeng. But when she heard that she had also handed over the task of sorting out the accounts to Zhou Qingfeng, she was surprised. Hearing that she asked Zhou Qingfeng to sort out the account books in exchange for going home and asking Guo Buyi to treat her illness, she muttered shamelessly, "I don't want to go back. My father nags me every day. I'm so annoyed."
But this time, 'Flat Hair' didn't stand on Guo Jiao's side. Instead, he urged, "Missy, you can't go back on your promise to the little rascal. If he's done, you'll have to go back and see the master. Because of this, you even sent me to work under Little Rascal. "
"It's useless to send you." Guo Jiao sat cross-legged and said in dissatisfaction, "Even I can't figure out the account books. How can a brat figure it out? I'll go out to punish evil and promote good tonight. I'll find some rascals to teach them a lesson. Maybe I'll get the money to maintain Happy Forest. As for the account books, I'll just burn them. My head hurts just by looking at them. "
'Flat Hair' lowered his voice when he heard that Guo Jiao refused to admit it. He said weakly, "Missy, you've almost cleaned up all the rascals in Fu Shun City in the past few months. Let's not talk about not picking up things on the road or not closing the door at night, but you can't find anyone who would do the dirty work anymore. Besides, Little Rascal isn't working alone. He has a lot of helpers, and the leader is actually a woman. "
The last sentence finally piqued Guo Jiao's interest. After all, in this day and age, a woman who showed her face in public would definitely attract criticism, let alone a woman being a leader. She was able to run Happy Forest because she had the support of her father. But what about the team that 'Flat Hair' mentioned?
After looking at the account notes brought by 'Flat Hair', Guo Jiao's curiosity was piqued. She had tried to sort out the account books countless times, but now, she was able to find some results in just one morning. This was too suspicious. In order to uncover the secret, she hastily dressed up and ate some tea and snacks before rushing to the inn where Zhou Qingfeng was staying to see what was going on.
Xu Li was in her room, inputting some data into a computer instrument. More than twenty account books had been copied into a fixed format. These documents would be placed in front of the tablet-shaped instrument one by one. The instrument would automatically project a beam of light to input the information in the documents. It was simple, convenient, and easy to operate. It could even be considered an office automation.
Xu Li was focused on analyzing the numbers on the instrument's virtual screen. Suddenly, she felt someone approaching her. She turned around and saw a young, delicate woman staring at the screen curiously. She asked, "You must be Sister Xu? When my 'Flat Hair' told me that you could sort out the accounts, I didn't believe him. Although I still can't understand it, I think you're really amazing. "
Accounting software involved some professional skills and knowledge. Coupled with software and magic tools designed for accounting, this could be said to be unheard of in the cultivation world.
"You're … Guo Jiao?" Xu Li did not know how this young woman got into her room. However, seeing her delicate features and innocent demeanor, she was as obedient as a neighbor's little sister. Xu Li could not help but laugh. "Zhou Qingfeng said that you're good-looking and amiable. He was right."
Guo Jiao was usually carefree and carefree. However, in front of Xu Li, she subconsciously lowered her attitude and really acted like a little sister. This was because when she entered through the window, she saw a mature woman who was focused on her work. Although her clothes were simple and her daily life was simple, her temperament was something she had never seen before.
Under the restrictions and oppression of the powerful paternal, marital, and clan power, ordinary women in the Ming Dynasty were often timid and had low social status. Not only did they dare to love and hate, but they also did not dare to touch anyone. They were often short, weak, ignorant, and stupid. Each and every one of them was like a marionette. In extreme cases, they did not even have the right to eat at the same table as a man. This kind of thing even lasted until the founding of the new China.
However, Xu Li was different. She was knowledgeable and cultured. She was a true independent woman. Although she had suffered a lot on her way to Fushun, she had become more capable, confident, and mature. As soon as Guo Jiao looked at her, she felt that this indescribable temperament was exactly what she had been yearning for all this time but did not know how to find it.
Hearing Xu Li praise her appearance, Guo Jiao could not help but smile sweetly. The two women felt a lot less restrained. She then asked Xu Li how she operated the computer. Xu Li only said, "The data is all related. The more data there is, the stronger the connection. Finding out the relationship will make it easier to fill in the gaps."
Guo Jiao did not really understand, so Xu Li took out the original account book and taught her step by step. After a while, Guo Jiao found that through some simple analysis and connections, her memory of the account book, which had long been fuzzy, began to become clear again. She could easily explain many details and mistakes, which increased her sense of achievement and curiosity.
After a while, the computer's spiritual power was exhausted. Xu Li wanted to find Zhou Qingfeng to recharge it. However, Guo Jiao rushed to say, "Sister Xu, let me do it. My spiritual power is much stronger than that little rascal's."
With the help of the account book, Guo Jiao and Xu Li became very close.
Occasionally, other transmigrators would enter the room to hand over the organized account book. They would also be surprised by the sudden appearance of this young lady. However, everyone was very polite and did not disturb her. After a few greetings, they would leave. Even this matter surprised Guo Jiao. "Sister Xu, are you really the leader of these men? They are very respectful to you. When they come in, they even greet you first. They don't even dare to speak loudly. "
Haha … Xu Li burst into laughter and said, "Knocking on the door to enter is the most basic courtesy. It's not about respect or anything. I'm not their leader either. It's just that we come from all over the world and are united for the same cause. "At this point, Xu Li laughed involuntarily again. This was because this tone was Old Man Gu's usual catchphrase. Today, she actually blurted it out.
Every time Old Man Gu taught his team, he always liked to talk about some big principles. The transmigrators had long since heard it, so when they heard it, they just treated it as wind past their ears. However, Xu Li never thought that these words would be heard by Guo Jiao. It was like a sudden clap of thunder!
After asking a few more questions, Guo Jiao got more in-depth information.
There were currently eleven transmigrators, and they were not related to each other by blood.
The transmigrators really came from all over the world. Eleven of them came from eleven different places.
The transmigrators worked together for the same revolutionary cause. Uh … Wait! They gathered together for a common life plan. They worked hand in hand and forged ahead.
This concept was definitely ahead of its time. This kind of team composition really surprised Guo Jiao. If it were the people at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would be normal for them to stick together and fight against those who were different. Fighting for their ideals would be like a fantasy.
Not only were the people in the team very united, but they were also all talented. Such a group of people could still accommodate a woman. When necessary, the entire team could even accept this woman's command.
This was absolutely impossible in the late Ming Dynasty, where the scholarly officials constantly emphasized that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue. They required women to bind their feet, talk about humility, and pursue chastity. In terms of martial arts, Guo Jiao alone could sweep the transmigrators. However, in terms of thinking, Guo Jiao felt that she had been a frog at the bottom of a well for twenty years. For a moment, she was fascinated and envious of the team that Xu Li was in.
"Sister Xu, are there no inconveniences when interacting with these men?"
"Yes, there are too many inconveniences."
"Sister Xu, have you never thought of finding a well-educated, talented, and good-looking husband to marry?"
"Hahaha … I have thought of marrying a noble before. I even thought of marrying into the palace to be the mother of the world. But now I understand that there is no man in this world who is worthy of me. What I want to do is to let those men see that I am not inferior to them at all. "
Xu Li was half-joking and half-serious. However, Guo Jiao's head was ringing from these rebellious words — Oh my god! So in Sister Xu's eyes, not only could men not control her own fate, they were not even necessary. At most, they were equals. If anyone expressed any criticism, she would even roll her eyes at them.
For a moment, Guo Jiao's heart was filled with admiration. The truth behind it was too shocking and could topple the universe. However, she could empathize with it and was immersed in it.
"Sister Xu, there is a hidden truth in what you said. However, I am dizzy and can't understand it. Today, I feel like I have known you for a long time. I am very attracted to you and want to be friends with you. I wonder if Sister Xu is willing? "
How could Xu Li not be willing when Guo Jiao made such a request?
Guo Jiao was instantly elated and said, "Sister Xu is talented and has unparalleled wisdom. It is too unfair for you to stay in this shabby inn. The bed here is dirty, the doors and windows are narrow, the smell is terrible, and there is not even a maid to serve you. Why don't you go to my Merry Forest? At least there is a comfortable bed and delicious food. I have a lot of things that I want to say to Sister Xu. I hope that Sister Xu can help me clear up my doubts. "
Guo Jiao held Xu Li's hand and did not let go, swaying it like a child. She did not care about tidying up the account books. She just wanted to chat with Xu Li and listen to her talk about equality between men and women, and about how women could hold up half the sky. These thoughts were eye-opening, and even made her feel like her blood was boiling. It was a sign that her cultivation base was about to break through.
Xu Li originally had the intention to become friends with Miss Guo, so naturally, she agreed. She informed her team members and moved her office to Merry Forest. The transmigrators were naturally happy. After all, this ordinary inn could not compare to the Merry Forest, which had been built with a lot of money.
Moreover … Befriending Guo Jiao was also part of the 'united front'.
Everyone was happy that things were going so smoothly. Guo Jiao left with Xu Li first, and the remaining transmigrators packed up and moved over. But before they could sort out the large amount of paper that they had copied from the account books, several officials dressed in black suddenly walked in from outside the inn. The one in the lead had a lewd smile on his face. After looking around for a while, he shouted, "Where is that girl from last night?"
The transmigrators were all in the lobby of the inn, and they were immediately surrounded by these officials with knives and iron rulers. They were unable to advance or retreat. Without waiting for Old Man Gu to come up with a countermeasure, one of the officials stood up and said to the leader, "Grandfather Han, it is this group of people. Not only do they not have a travel permit, but they also protected a girl with a symbol last night and did not let us search. That girl looks older, but her body is really flirtatious. "
The leader of the officials was Han Gui, who had tried to capture Zhou Qingfeng last night. He had practiced some 'muscle and bone' spells, and the blade in his hand was sharp. Last night, he had been snubbed by Guo Jiao, and today, he had a belly full of anger and wanted to find someone to vent it on. Although the transmigrators in front of him were all young and strong, they were no match for him, let alone his identity as an official.
