Chapter 89 Come and settle the account
Ye Yunchu circled the mistake and turned to the next page as if nothing had happened.
I don't know if there are any mistakes on this page. It takes time for him to calculate, especially when he observes this little room, he calculates even slower.
There was nothing wrong with this page, and Li Runrun finished it quickly.
He noticed that Li Runrun glanced at him and then looked away. If Ye Yunchu's eyes hadn't moved quickly, she would have noticed it.
After Ye Yunchu finished his calculations, he turned to the next page and found that Li Runrun quickly scanned it again, then fixed her eyes on one place, as if she was checking it again.
Finally, after deciding that she had miscalculated, she looked away.
Ye Yunchu was afraid of being discovered by her, so he fiddled with the abacus for a while and found that the place where Li Runrun's eyes were fixed was wrong.
Ye Yunchu didn't circle it and turned to the next page.
Li Runrun seemed to want to remind someone, but in the end she said nothing.
She thought it might be just a copper coin, but Ye Yunchu was too lazy to care.
However, every penny is important, and there must be no mistakes when checking the accounts, otherwise the general ledger may not match.
Li Runrun continued to calculate and found that there was an obvious mistake, but Ye Yunchu also turned the page.
Li Runrun widened her eyes slightly, showing that she didn't understand, but she respected.
Is it possible that the prince is not good at calculation?
Then Li Runrun saw that he had circled the correct place. The number here was a little complicated, but it was correct.
Li Runrun looked at the white jade abacus in the prince's hand with suspicion. It was not that the account was wrong, but that the prince had made a mistake in dialing the abacus.
Did you get dizzy and make a mistake in the calculation?
Li Ruanruan coughed lightly before saying, "My Lord, the hangover soup is getting cold. Have a sip."
She picked up the small bowl beside her and handed it to Ye Yunchu.
To wake him up.
Ye Yunchu stopped what he was doing. He looked at the little maid calmly and said, "Feed me."
Li Runrun's face turned red, and she scooped up a spoonful and fed it to his mouth.
But he said, "I want you to feed me, not spoon-feed me."
Li Runrun's face instantly turned red and she quickly looked out the window, fearing that others would hear what the prince said.
What a disgrace.
Besides, how could he do this in broad daylight?
He looks like a cool and aloof gentleman, but speaks in such a wild and unrestrained manner.
Li Runrun was in a dilemma holding the bowl. In the end, she had no choice but to disobey the prince's order.
Just when she was about to drink it, he was in such a good mood that he took it and drank it all in one gulp, then casually put the bowl aside.
The spoon hit the edge of the bowl, making a crisp sound.
Ye Yunchu fiddled with the jade abacus in his hand: "Come, teach Xiao Ruanruan how to count. Come here."
He gently held her waist and Li Ruanruan sat on his lap.
Ye Yunchu fiddled with the abacus: "Let's start with the simple ones. Look, calculate it like this. Thirteen taels plus eighteen taels, what is the total?"
Equal to thirty-one.
"It's twenty-nine."
Li Ruanruan's whole body stiffened.
ah?
No matter how you calculate it, there is no way it can be twenty-nine.
When the prince said twenty-nine, Li Runrun felt that the cracked burns on her shoulders no longer hurt, really.
Ye Yunchu took Li Ruanruan's hand and placed it on the abacus: "Ruanruan, calculate it yourself."
This jade is quite good, with good water content and it warms up when you touch it.
But unfortunately.
Li Ruanruan withdrew her hand: "My Lord, I don't know how to calculate."
"Then how do you calculate it?"
Why is he so sure?
Li Ruanruan rolled her eyes before saying, "I can't count."
"Could it be mental arithmetic? I didn't expect Xiao Ruanruan to be so good. Am I just being blind?"
"I, I... can't count."
Li Ruanruan emphasized it again.
Ye Yunchu held Li Ruanruan in his arms, his head resting on her uninjured shoulder, his head tilted, their breaths close to hers.
The skin on Li Ruannuan's neck felt tingling and numb. She was ticklish and wanted to move away, but he held her down tightly.
Pear bit her lip softly.
Then I heard him say, "No? I thought Ruanruan could read the account books and wanted to give you the management of the East Courtyard's accounts."
“........”
Well, if that's the case.
If I could manage the East Courtyard, many things would be easier to arrange, and I would be better able to win people's hearts.
If the lower-ranking servants were assigned to work in the East Courtyard, they would be absolutely loyal to her, and would not betray her even if Xu Wan entered the house.
If she is trapped in this harem and can only be with the prince in the future, should she plan her career?
Move up, cultivate your own people, and fight for greater rights for yourself?
Li Ruanruan lowered her head: "Is this okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Haitang can take care of it. You're someone close to me, so why can't I take care of it?"
Li Ruanruan's eyes lit up: "Then I..."
But before she could finish her words, he pushed her off his lap and told her to stand aside.
He shook his head. "What a shame! You can't read or do math. You can't even calculate that thirteen plus eighteen equals twenty-nine."
Li Ruanruan was pushed away by him and was anxious and at a loss, not knowing how to fight for this opportunity again.
Hearing Ye Yunchu's last words, he laughed: "My Lord, thirteen plus eighteen does not equal twenty-nine, it equals thirty-one."
Seeing Ye Yunchu didn't say anything.
Li Ruanruan continued, "What's three plus eight? You can figure it out on your fingers. It's eleven. Ten plus twenty plus eleven equals thirty-one."
Ye Yunchu smiled, finally he had hooked her out.
He fiddled with the abacus: "Two hundred and forty-five, plus three hundred and sixty-eight."
His abacus was still ticking away as Li Ruanruan quickly spoke, "Six hundred and thirteen."
Ye Yunchu took out his abacus, glanced at it, and immediately said, "One thousand three hundred and seventy, minus five hundred and sixty-seven."
"Eight hundred and three."
"Seven hundred and twenty-six taels minus two hundred and thirty-four taels and seven cents."
It is difficult, but it is actually easy to calculate. The current exchange rate here is one liang equals ten coins, one coin equals one hundred copper coins, which means one liang equals one thousand copper coins.
Equal to 726-234.7=491.3
Li Ruanruan immediately said, "Four hundred and ninety-one taels and three cents."
Ye Yunchu's hand that was fiddling with the abacus suddenly stopped, and his hand covered the jade abacus.
These were all questions he had just solved and came up with casually. Before Li Runrun came, she didn't know the correct answers at all.
But before he even started calculating, she had already figured it out, and she did it in her head.
Ye Yunchu suddenly turned around and looked at Li Ruanruan. He didn't expect that there was such a talented person here. Even the Minister of Revenue didn't have such good mental arithmetic ability.
There is not even one such person in the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.
Who is she?
Ye Yunchu had to think more.
Li Ruanruan was stared at by him, and suddenly realized something and knelt down hurriedly.
She forgot to hide her shortcomings. She shouldn't be too impatient or confused.
Will I die?
She shouldn't have been deceived by the illusion that the prince was nice to her and flirting with her and got carried away. She shouldn't have forgotten his attitude when facing Xu Wan.
The blood color gradually faded from Li Ruanruan's face, and her heart felt cold.
