31. Accounts
Morning.
Ning Xi invited An, returned to Ruixing Pavilion, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Yu Rui was still there.
"Yu Rui, aren't you going to Zhuangzi?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Go, of course." Yu Rui grabbed her hand, "I want to go with you." ”
Ning Xi was startled, and suddenly remembered what happened before, and his face turned red all of a sudden. She lowered her head and whispered, "It's okay to go, you can't be like before." ”
"It's good," Yu Rui said, "I just restrain myself." ”
Ledger room.
"Third Young Master, this is today's account book." Ade held a large stack of ledgers and piled them on the table.
"Didn't you watch some yesterday? Where did so much come from today? Yu Rui asked puzzled.
"Back to the third young master," Ade was a little cramped, "Yesterday the wind was too strong, and it snowed again, and the warehouse was damaged a little. When I went in to check, I found that some of the food was spoiled. ”
"What?" Yu Rui stood up suddenly and said, "Who is in charge of the warehouse, haven't you checked it before?" ”
Ade lowered his head and said hesitantly, "Yes...... It's He San, he shouldn't be here at this time. ”
"Absent?" Yu Rui scolded, "It's the time to be busy, how can you not be there?" ”
Ah Hao on the side spoke: "Young master, the slave also talked about him, but he said that he came once a day and just looked at the warehouse." The minion just thought that he had sorted everything out and probably looked at it, so he didn't ask too much. ”
"Did he come yesterday too?" Ning Xi, who had not spoken, asked.
"Back to Fujin," said Ade, "about this time yesterday, he came on a trip, turned around and left. ”
"Come with me!" Yu Rui got up and turned to Ning Xi again, "You wait here first, if you are idle and bored, it is better to walk around." ”
"I'll stay and help you read the ledger!" Ning Xi said, picking up the top one and flipping through it.
Yu Rui wanted to refuse, after all, it was not good for women to interfere with things that men operated. But thinking that she was staying alone, and there was no harm in taking a casual look, he nodded, and walked out of the city with Ahao Ade and them.
When Yu Rui came back, it was already afternoon, and as soon as he entered the account room, he saw Ning Xi sitting on a chair, bored drawing villains on paper. Yu Rui smiled, walked over quietly, and whispered in her ear: "Look at the account book so seriously!" ”
Ning Xi's hand shook, and the pen suddenly fell to the paper, and the face of the little man who had just drawn it suddenly became black. She looked up and saw Yu Rui looking at her with a wicked smile. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're scared me to death." When did you come back? ”
"Just came back and came to see you." Yu Rui said, pulled over a chair, and sat next to Ning Xi.
"Oh, is it settled?" Ning Xi asked.
"It's settled, that He San let me send it away." Yu Rui smiled bitterly. is another slave who looks down on people with dog eyes, and when he sees that he is not a son-in-law, he has to be perfunctory. He was used to such treatment, and if he was angry about it, he would not have time to be happy.
Seeing that there was no displeasure in Ning Xi's eyes, Yu Rui smiled and changed the topic: "By the way, how many account books have you read?" As he spoke, he picked up a copy and flipped through it.
Ning Xi shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't see much, I just picked a few simple ones and made them, I don't know if it's right." "Before getting married, E-Niang only taught her the simplest. She said that a girl's house will be the simplest account, it is enough to be able to manage the house well, and there is no need to learn too much - men don't like women who are too smart.
Yu Rui picked up a book in the direction of his finger, put it in front of him, and turned the page. He glanced up at her, then reached out and took her hand with his left hand, and flipped through it with his right hand.
"What do you do?" Ning Xi wanted to pull his hand out, but he held it tightly and couldn't move. Yu Rui smiled and said, "Accompany me, don't worry, I will only hold your hand and do nothing else." ”
Ning Xi had no choice but to give up, she watched Yu Rui flip through the account book page by page, and muttered: "I haven't done the accounting, and I don't know if it's right." ”
Yu Rui glanced at her, didn't say anything, put this one aside, picked up the other one and read it.
"By the way, isn't it?" Ning Xi looked excited, "It seems that I will be a little bit more." ”
"Don't get too excited." Yu Rui flipped through the account book and didn't raise his head.
Ning Xi pursed his lips, bored with his other hand to pick up the paper he had just drawn, looked at the villain destroyed by Yu Rui, and shook his head helplessly. I just drew it, but it's a pity.
"It's wrong here," Yu Rui looked at the page, still not looking up. Ning Xi followed his gaze, "What's wrong." ”
"Anyway, it's wrong, and you don't understand it." Yu Rui picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, crossed out a line of words, and then wrote a line next to it. After writing it, he raised his head and looked at her and said, "You can accompany me here, I will handle these things, and you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Then I'll look at something else." Ning Xi said, "There are a lot of books here, you let go of your hand for a while, and I'll take a few and come over." ”
Yu Rui nodded, let go of her hand and said, "Then don't make me wait too long." ”
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually got dark. Ning Xi closed the book, glanced at the window, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it getting dark so soon?" ”
Yu Rui raised his head and also glanced at the window: "Have I been watching for so long?" ”
Ning Xi didn't say anything, and was moved by the hand he was holding. Only then did Yu Rui let go of his hand. Ning Xi was free, stood up and said, "Don't you have any food here?" I'm going to take a look. ”
Yu Rui rubbed his hands and said, "From here, just go, there is a small kitchen in the westernmost part." Bring me something back if you go. ”
"I know what to do," Ning Xi said, "If there's nothing left, I'll make some for you myself." ”
The night was getting thicker and thicker, and after dinner, Ning Xi was a little uneasy. She looked at the thick stack of ledgers in front of Yu Rui, and couldn't help but say, "Do you have a long time?" ”
"What, in a hurry?" Yu Rui raised his head and asked.
"Sort of," Ning Xi lowered her head and looked at her flowerpot-bottomed shoes, "I've just never been out so late." ”
Yu Rui smiled again: "You are too careful, I am by your side at this time, what are you afraid of?" He looked at the stacked ledgers, "If you're sleepy, sleep for a while, I'll call you." ”
"No," Ning Xi smiled, "I'm not sleepy. ”
"Hao!" Yu Rui shouted.
"Third young master, the slave is here." Ah Hao walked in.
"What time is it?"
"It's time."
"It's late, it's so late." Yu Rui muttered to himself, and immediately ordered, "Let everyone else go back, you and Ade can stay." ”
"Yes, young master." Ah Hao answered.
