Chapter 90 Again
Ye Yunchu reached out and helped Li Ruanruan up: "Your calculations are all correct, how did you calculate it?"
Li Ruanruan finally explained herself, "When I was little, when my mother was still alive, we could get by. When my mother took me to visit relatives in the countryside, I learned arithmetic from my short-lived uncle. He devoted his entire life to this subject and wrote down everything he learned in books. When I grew up, I learned a lot more from the books, and finally I mastered it."
She remembered that her uncle was crazy and talked nonsense all day long. If he was not sick, her family would not have sold her mother to the marquis's mansion to do labor.
Li Runrun thought that even if Ye Yunchu went to investigate, he would not be able to find anything.
Besides, she was just a concubine who grew up in the Marquis's mansion, so there was nothing to investigate.
Ye Yunchu became interested: "Is that book here?"
"Life was tough at home, so I sold it."
"Do you remember the content?"
"I don't have a photographic memory, but if you want to learn, I can teach you."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head and said, "At worst, I can teach him the multiplication table first."
I think it will be enough for the prince to study for a while.
Ye Yunchu was quite interested: "Come and settle the accounts with me. Don't hide anything. I want to see how fast you can be."
Ye Yunchu hugged Li Ruanruan again and calculated the bill for a long time. Even the meal was brought by Haitang and they just had two bites.
Li Runrun was still hiding her incompetence, otherwise she would calculate too quickly in her mind, and she was afraid that the prince would think too much.
She tried her best to control it at a very appropriate time, at least to make the prince come up with his plan.
I also learned how to use an abacus and found it very easy to learn. I started using it to calculate afterwards.
Mainly so it won't be too different.
But he didn't know how shocked Ye Yunchu was. He hadn't learned her arithmetic yet, but this little concubine had already learned how to use his abacus.
What a smart woman she is, she is not inferior to those girls from wealthy families at all.
Besides, compared with those pedantic girls from aristocratic families, Li Runrun has more new ideas and perspectives.
From the situation of the disaster victims outside the city and the strategies she offered, it can be seen that she is different.
Ye Yunchu will always remember that day, as if he saw a shining light from Li Runrun.
It was as if she was sitting in his arms, gently fiddling with the abacus.
It's so eye-catching.
The top girls in brothels and teahouses were also very outstanding, but Ye Yunchu had never paid attention to them.
He had never looked at a woman like this before, full of admiration and pleasure.
He liked her like this, and he also liked her soft and shy look, and he liked her gentleness even more when she couldn't bear it in bed but still indulged and accepted all his bad tastes.
It seems that there is nothing I dislike, just like the joy I can't hide when facing that little cat.
Li Ruanruan finally finished calculating the accounts. Her shoulders had long since become numb from the pain. She handed the account book over and said, "My Lord, I have corrected the mistakes."
Ye Yunchu took it and flipped through it, then called out, "Haitang."
Haitang came in quickly and bowed, "Please give me your orders, my lord."
"From now on, the East Courtyard's account books and storeroom keys will be handed over to the room manager. You will all follow her instructions."
Haitang was shocked. How could a low-ranking servant like her, who couldn't read, manage the accounts?
But he didn't say much, just lowered his head and did what he was told: "Yes."
She quickly brought over the account book and the warehouse key and placed them on the table.
Li Ruanruan reached out carefully and touched the cold key. Her fingertips trembled slightly.
This was the second power she had touched after clinging to the prince's golden thigh.
Li Runrun felt like she was standing at a fork in the road. Perhaps once she took this path, there would be no turning back.
Who could have imagined that two months ago, she was living in a servant's room where she couldn't even lift her head, didn't have enough to eat every day, and had to clean chamber pots all the time, living in fear that Nanny Song might do something bad to her.
Now that she had just scolded Nanny Song today, she could even ignore Haitang, whom she had not dared to offend before.
Li Runrun looked at Ye Yunchu with cautious and flattering eyes, unable to hide her joy.
Ye Yunchu pinched her chin, looked at her overly beautiful face, leaned over and kissed her deeply.
Then he lowered his head and asked her, "Do you like it?"
Li Ruanruan was shy and buried her face in his arms, but she said delicately, "I like it."
I really like it, love it.
However, no matter how much she liked him or loved him, he could never be her husband.
Li Ruanruan hugged Ye Yunchu's neck: "Master, do you want to go to bed?"
Her soft hands rested on his belt, her voice soft as a mosquito but unusually sweet: "I'll help you sleep."
Ye Yunchu's hand stroked Li's soft back for a few times. He seemed to be a little moved, but in the end he just let her down from his legs: "Go back."
Li Ruanruan picked at her fingers and pursed her lips. She knew that he was taking her injuries into consideration, but she still felt a little empty in her heart.
At that moment, she wanted to hug him and be loved by him. It seemed that only at that moment could she be sure that she was the only one in his eyes.
The prince belongs to her alone.
Even if it's just for a moment, I'm satisfied.
Li Ruanruan bowed and said, "Then please go to bed early, my lord."
She went over and added more charcoal to the stove before picking up the warehouse key and account book to leave.
After taking two steps, I remembered that there seemed to be something important that I hadn't said.
She stopped again and looked back.
Ye Yunchu raised his eyes inadvertently, met her gaze, and was actually moved.
He said with a smile: "What are you looking at? Are you reluctant? You want to sleep with me at night, are you scared?"
Li Ruanruan blushed and walked in: "Fruit wine, the prince must try it."
Ye Yunchu glanced at the five jars of wine placed under the table beside him and raised his eyebrows: "Are you inviting me?"
This statement is ambiguous.
Li Ruanruan brought the fruit wine to the desk: "I want the prince to taste my cooking skills."
Otherwise, how can a winery be opened?
Li Ruanruan also wondered if she was being too greedy. Perhaps they should talk about it another day.
But the atmosphere tonight was so good, and she was afraid that she didn't have much time.
So let's try to talk, maybe it will work.
Ye Yunchu held up his forehead and looked at her, then nodded, not noticing the indulgence in his smile: "Okay, Haitang."
He asked Haitang to bring the wine jug tools.
Li Runrun originally wanted him to have a sip, but she felt that the prince was in a good mood and wanted to have a few drinks, so she filled the wine pot.
She poured him a glass of wine herself and handed it to him.
Ye Yunchu didn't rush to drink it. He lowered his head and sniffed it before asking her, "What kind of fruit is this?"
Li Ruanruan blushed and said, "I can't find any good fruit. There's only one peach tree in the mansion, but because it's sour and astringent, no one likes it, so I use it to make wine."
Ye Yunchu grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him: "Oh? How many things from the Marquis' Mansion have you used? Chrysanthemums and peach trees, how do you know so much? Hmm?"
Li Runrun thought, here he comes again, he is being stingy again.
