Chapter 8 The Driving Force Behind the Scenes

Zhao Jue looked at it, thinking, and his brows gradually locked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Lian on the other side also frowned.

From the beginning, the pen was like flying, the text was not added, slowly, she began to slow down, she had to think about it before writing, and after a while, she picked up the scratch paper and began to deduce, reading the question over and over again, taking every detail into account.

The incense burner on the table burned into ashes one by one, and the smoke curled up, floating between the two of them.

Listening to the sound of the rain, Zhao Zhu corrected Xiaolian's homework, Xiaolian stood obediently on the side, staring at the pen in Zhao Zhu's hand, he drew a checkmark, Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, and she was secretly annoyed.

Soon, all the questions on the scroll were corrected, Zhao Jue coughed, turned around, Xiaolian suddenly looked nervous, staring at Zhao Jue's expression, she hoped to see a good result from his face.

"Xiaolian, do you think the questions in this exam are difficult to do?" , Zhao Jue's face remained unchanged, and he asked casually.

"It's not hard...... There are also difficult ones, not sure if the answer is right or not......", Xiaolian said a word, and began to urge: "How many points?" It's over eighty, right? ”。

"Almost, better than I thought."

Xiaolian heard Zhao Yu say almost, and immediately became happy, and said, "Eighty? After she wrote it, she found that it was still difficult to complete this set of test papers in a stick of incense, and the estimated score in her heart was about 80 points.

"Hehe, seventy-eight", Zhao Yu smiled and handed the scroll to Xiaolian.

"Seventy-eight!?" , Xiaolian suddenly exclaimed, took the volume, and looked at it carefully.

"This question is two points, this question is one point ......", the girl added all the wrong questions very seriously, and calculated them over and over again.

"Ah, why is this question written wrong, I remember that it was clearly written two hundred and one...... And this one, adding a decimal point less, it's a pity to be wrong......".

Xiaolian's face showed a deep regret and loss, and the bright smile on her face disappeared, replaced by chagrin and nervousness.

"Ahem...... Which, you see clearly, I didn't give you any less points, you are indeed at this level, seventy-eight, less than eighty", Zhao Jue nodded his scroll.

Xiaolian blushed slightly, and said, "It's just two points short, and it's not a lot...... There are two things that I accidentally wrote wrong, and they should have been eighty-one! ”。

"Yes, if you do the questions on this slowly, you can do it right, you can get 100 points, but the exam is the exam, you only get 78 points, you lose, don't rely on the account", Zhao Ji reminded.

Xiaolian stomped her feet angrily and said loudly: "Who is in charge, say, what do you want me to do!?" ”。

"Hey, you're waiting for ......".

Zhao Qi smiled, returned to the back room, and after a while, came out with a few clothes in his hand, handed them to Xiaolian, and said, "Here you are, wash it for me."

"You ......", Xiaolian saw that Zhao Jue actually asked her to wash her clothes, her face turned red, and the general clothes were cleaned for relatives, and the unmarried woman washed the clothes for young men, which was a sign of mutual affection.

She couldn't help but bow down, too ashamed to look at people, and shouted: "There are maids in the house who specialize in laundry, why don't you send them to them?" and will not take any money from you."

"I didn't let them wash it, there were seven or eight people's clothes soaked in a big basin, it was so stinky that I didn't want to wear it, of course the clothes were washed separately...... Remember to put more fragrant pods, wear them for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash them off."

Seeing that Xiaolian just lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, Zhao Yu couldn't help sighing, and said angrily: "It turns out that the words of the small account room don't count, it's just that I'm unlucky, I'll wash this clothes myself."

"Whoever speaks doesn't count, give it to me!".

Xiaolian gritted her teeth, suddenly snatched the clothes from Zhao Yu's hand, didn't even bother to play the umbrella, turned around and went out, and left quickly in the light rain.

Zhao Jue watched from afar as the figure went farther and farther away in the spring rain, disappearing into the depths of the bamboo shadow, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, it turns out that this girl will be shy?

In the depths of the Li Mansion, a small vermilion building with two floors up and down stands in the drizzle, and the courtyard wall is not far from the building, and the situation outside can be seen from the window sill on the second floor.

At this time, by the window, Li Nianxian was looking at the rain outside, watching the light rain hit the leaves outside, snapping and converging into a waterline.

In the distance, looking beyond the courtyard wall, some people on the street are walking slowly with umbrellas, and some people are hurrying, hurrying to find a place to shelter from the rain.

A carriage came from the rain, and from the window, you could see the drunken face of the man, not handsome, but dressed in silk and satin, dressed quite exquisitely, but also lined with a bit of elegance.

That's her lobby brother, the son of her uncle Li Zhongwen, Li Shanlong.

Li Shanlong is in his thirties this year, three years younger than Li Nianxian's father Li Zhonghuai, and a full seventeen years older than her.

A thirty-five-year-old man is not old, but he is by no means young, and if he wants to bear the burden of the Li family, the experience at this age is enough.

However, this thirty-five-year-old cousin has the ambition to compete for the head of the family, but every day he lingers in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, hugs a warm fragrant nephrite, and spends a lot of silver, just for the girl to smile at him.

Li Dashao in Huaning City, a beautiful woman laughing at a lot of money.

He is a VIP in Huaning City, and there is no one who is not flattering when he sees him.

The Li family's industry he runs is not a loss, but the annual profit is not as good as a fraction of Li Nianxian's.

Li Nianxian is eighteen this year, with outstanding appearance, outstanding ability, and outstanding background, if she is a boy, she will be outstanding in the entire Huaning.

But she is just a woman, and in the era of patriarchy and paying attention to three obedience and four virtues, she is destined to be oppressed by public opinion.

She can't show too much, so even if she has the fire that burns the world in her heart, she can only make herself look weak and quiet with a peaceful smile.

One is the eldest son of the third generation of the Li family, who is romantic, not young, but has no achievements.

One is a well-behaved granddaughter who has a clear mind and works seriously, and has taken care of the Li family's industry quite well.

But on that day, Li Qian said that the next head of the family should be mature and steady, have experience, and be able to show his face outside.

He didn't say that he wanted Li Nianxian to hand over the property, but everyone understood Li Qian's vague meaning.

Since everyone dispersed, the next day, customers who had dealings with Li Nianxian began to retreat one after another, a large number of orders were invalidated, the purchase was insufficient, and the shipments were greatly reduced, and the industry she worked hard to operate began to be impacted.

How can people outside get the news so quickly about what I just said? Most of those customers have paid liquidated damages, and if the order is invalidated, they will also suffer a lot of losses, why don't they care about these losses, is there someone to compensate them?

Li Nianxian stood in front of the window, looking at the carriage that had passed outside, feeling pain, hatred and helplessness in her heart, there must be a promoter behind the scenes, and if she is as smart as her, she can probably see who is standing behind her. But what about the look? A woman, in this era full of male superiority and inferiority, dare to turn the sky upside down?

The rain was dripping, and not far from the front of the building, her maid Xiaolian ran over with something in her arms.

Her face was slightly red, her hair had been drenched by the rain, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, looking very annoyed.

When she arrived at the front of the building, she slowed down, but she didn't expect the rain to slip, she stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, the girl was young and lively, reacted in time, shook her body, and then stopped. It's just that although she stopped, the thing she was holding in her hand was thrown out.

Li Nianxian glanced at it, and then saw a man's underwear.
