Muye hummed softly.
She lowered her brows and reached out to hold Meng Youning's arm.
His eyes fell on the veil covering Meng Youning's face, and he felt a little suspicious.
The next moment, she suppressed all the thoughts in her mind.
Then, the two of them slowly walked into Qiuzhuangxia.
Autumn makeup slants inside the house.
Muye took the lead and stepped forward to tidy up the couch for Meng Youning, then helped Meng Youning sit down slowly.
Sang Luan, who had been waiting here for a long time, couldn't help but look up and glance at Muye.
She only needed to glance at him, and Meng Youning knew what she meant.
Meng Youning lowered her eyes, smoothed her sleeves, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her throat. She picked up the water in front of her, tilted her head back and took a sip. Only then did her throat feel much better.
She half-clenched one hand into a fist, slowly brought it to her lips, and coughed lightly.
He raised his eyes and looked at Sang Luan who was standing opposite him. "This is Muye, a friend I met by chance."
When Konoha heard the word "friend", his eyes were full of surprise.
She lowered her head silently, not daring to say a word.
After saying that, Sang Luan leaned forward curiously, and her eyes involuntarily lingered on Mu Ye for a few moments.
"Muye, from today on, you will stay here to work for a while, and you don't have to follow me back home." Meng Youning's voice was very soft and his expression was indifferent.
Muye suddenly looked up and his lips trembled slightly.
I felt a pang of bitterness in my heart, and a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of my mouth.
Seeing this, Meng Youning knew that she was wrong.
Meng Youning smiled lightly and continued softly, "Muye, let me ask you, if the shopkeeper bought an apple for fifty taels and sold it for seventy taels, receiving a hundred taels of counterfeit silver, how much money did the shopkeeper lose at this point?"
Sang Luan spoke first, her eyes slightly excited, "Golden apples, so expensive?"
"Is the focus on the apple?" Meng Youning glanced quickly at Sang Luan.
Sang Luan said "oh" and turned to look at Konoha on the side.
Muye only thought for a few moments before blurting out, "One hundred taels!"
Sang Luan paused and spoke first, "Why?"
"The original price of the apple was fifty taels, and it was sold for seventy taels. At this point, I should have earned twenty taels." Muye straightened his expression and spoke word by word.
She paused, "But the one hundred taels the shopkeeper received was not what he actually received, so he had to ask someone else for thirty taels. Therefore, the shopkeeper's loss that day was one hundred taels of silver."
Muye blinked, looking puzzled. "But why did that person give the shopkeeper 100 taels instead of just 70? Wouldn't it be very troublesome to search for it all the time?"
Meng Youning waved her hand, "It doesn't matter."
Sang Luan and Meng Youning looked at each other at the same time.
She might know what Meng Youning meant by bringing this girl here.
Sang Luan looked surprised, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked to Muye.
"Have you learned it?"
This type of question is somewhat controversial in her and Meng Youning's world.
Most people rely on electronic products, but their mental arithmetic ability is not that strong.
But this inconspicuous little girl in front of him gave the answer in the blink of an eye.
It's really amazing.
Konoha silently took a step back and shuddered.
Although I don't know the person in front of me, I can tell that he is not an ordinary person just by looking at the clothes he is wearing.
Mu Ye first subconsciously glanced at Meng Youning and saw that she nodded slightly at her.
She then spoke slowly, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the two masters. In the past, I have never been to school."
She reached out and scratched her head. "I only watched a few times from a distance, hiding outside the house. But I know everything the master said."
Sang Luan was full of admiration, "Your ability is very good, you can stay here from now on."
As soon as these words were spoken, Konoha's pupils turned red instantly, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
The next moment, she suddenly knelt down in front of Meng Youning, her back straight. "The reason I asked for your help was because I only recognized you."
"If the master abandons this servant to others, this servant..."
Before she finished her words, Meng Youning spoke first, "Who said I left you here? I am still your master, but you no longer need to stay in the world of the palace."
Meng Youning raised her eyebrows, "Why, you don't want to?"
Sang Luan frowned. Based on her understanding of Meng Youning, the other party acted more cautiously and considered things more carefully than she did.
If this girl was just good at math, Meng Youning wouldn't have brought her directly to Qiu Zhuangxie.
When they were looking for Sun Jingfu, she and Meng Youning also spent a lot of effort.
Suddenly, Sang Luan's mind moved, and she asked, "Muye, what was your name before?"
Mu Ye was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly, "Before I followed the master, my name was Cheng Zhaodi."
Cheng Zhaodi.
Sang Luan recited it silently several times.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he raised his eyes abruptly to look at Meng Youning.
Meng Youning nodded at her, "Yes, that's the Cheng Zhaodi you were thinking of."
Sang Luan turned his attention back to Muye.
In the original text, there was indeed a woman named Cheng Zhaodi whose life experience was truly miserable.
She was not loved by her father or mother, and she had a mean brother. She was forced to marry a rich and powerful man, but because the rich and powerful man was in a bad mood, she had a miscarriage during her pregnancy.
After a lot of effort, he finally broke away from the powerful and escaped on his own.
Gradually, he showed his talent in business.
This woman is definitely a math genius.
It’s a pity that he ended up dying on the street.
These few short lines in the book represent Cheng Zhaodi's true life.
Sang Luan lowered her eyes slightly and silently collected her thoughts.
She bent down slightly, reached out and grabbed Muye's arm, pulling it up, "Get up, your master hasn't abandoned you. Whether you work here or in the palace, the result will be the same."
Konoha stood up.
The meaning of Sang Luan's words was obvious.
A thought quickly flashed through Konoha's mind.
Her eyes widened slowly, "You mean!"
Sang Luan gave her a look.
Having said that, Konoha finally understood why he had been going through this period of time.
She spoke tentatively, "Those things about Sister Muxiang..."
Meng Youning made no secret of it, "It's just what you think."
The worry that had been hanging in her heart for a long time finally settled down.
After getting Meng Youning's nod, although her mood was a little complicated, it was still much better than before.
It turned out that the master she chose was not as bad as she had imagined.
Muye smiled with relief and was about to say something.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Mu Ye stood obediently behind Meng Youning.
Sang Luan also slowly returned to her original position and said, "Come in."
