C73 Accounts
Luo Mingshi casually nodded his head, then asked: "Then, how long do you usually need to read through this account book?"
Luo Hongyi saw the account book he had just given her in last month in Luo Mingshi's hands, and replied: "I seem to have finished reading it, it seems to be, it hasn't even been an hour since I finished reading it."
Luo Mingshi heard and frowned, "Luo Hongyi, you aren't good at lying, are you?"
Hearing that, Luo Hongyi immediately tried to defend himself, afraid that if he was too slow he would be crowned with the crime of being good at lying, "I never lie, it's true."
Luo Mingshi roughly knew in her heart that Luo Hongyi was an extremely simple-minded person and wasn't good at lying, but she still couldn't believe that it took less than two hours to finish reading such a thick tent.
Luo Hongyi suddenly took the initiative to ask: "Has Miss seen the account books before?"
"Never."
Luo Hongyi suddenly laughed happily again, a smile blossoming on his face, "Little miss, can I teach you something? Although I don't know anything else, I think the account book is still very good."
While saying that, it also sounded somewhat pitiful, causing Luo Mingshi to feel a little embarrassed and reject it, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Not at all, not at all." As he said that, he happily opened the account book and began to teach Luo Mingshi how to read it carefully.
At the beginning of the term, Luo Mingshi was still a little confused, but after Luo Hongyi explained it to him, she suddenly understood. At this point, she realized that Luo Hongyi was especially sensitive to numbers.
In order to verify this, Luo Mingshi purposely said seven to eight huge numbers when she was caught unprepared. Luo Hongyi only blinked his eyes a few times before he easily said the results.
Luo Mingshi secretly checked the answer, and sure enough, it was the same as what Luo Hongyi had said. He looked at Luo Hongyi again, but did not seem to notice anything, and continued to explain the profound principles in the account book to Luo Mingshi.
When he finished flipping through the last page, it was already past noon. Luo Mingshi estimated that it took around eight hours.
He could not help but use a gaze of admiration to size up Luo Hongyi once again. He had to admit that his image had indeed become much taller this time.
Luo Hongyi had barely touched his lips the entire morning, he was definitely about to speak. When Luo Mingshi passed a cup of tea to him, she finished it in one gulp, and Luo Mingshi could only pour him another cup. Only then did she instruct him: "Drink slowly."
Only then did Luo Hongyi blush, but as expected, it was slower.
"Right." Luo Hongyi suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Miss, you haven't eaten yet, why haven't anyone come to send us food?"
Hearing Luo Hongyi's words, Luo Mingshi also thought of this question, "It's alright."
Although Luo Mingshi did not care, she still thought of a way. When she came to the Luo Family Headquarters, she did not even eat a single meal.
"Miss, come eat at my place." Luo Hongyi invited them with a face full of caution and fear of being rejected.
Luo Mingshi laughed involuntarily. In the end, she had already put down her guard against him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You seem to be afraid of me?"
Luo Hongyi's face reddened again, and he said, "I'm not, no, not afraid, I'm honoring the young miss."
Luo Mingshi asked again, "Why should I be respected? Just because I'm Miss Luo Family? "
"No, because you saved my life." What Luo Hongyi said was very natural, and his face was also full of seriousness.
When Luo Mingshi heard this, his heart was moved, and she asked again: "Is it because I saved you that you are so kind to me?"
Luo Hongyi did not understand, but still repeated his reply: "That's right."
Luo Mingshi could not help but laugh, upon seeing that there was still sweat on Luo Hongyi's forehead, passing by his fair face, under the illumination of the sunlight, it was crystal clear and shining, it gave off a feeling as if a clear wind was blowing, it was refreshing.
In the end, Luo Mingshi said this to him, "In the future, do not call me miss, call me Nan Qing, my word."
Luo Hongyi immediately shouted out, "Nan Qing."
Luo Mingshi then laughed, and changed the topic: "Didn't you say you want me to go over to your place to eat, and you're not going to lead the way?"
Seeing that Luo Mingshi agreed, Luo Hongyi repeated three times: "Yes, yes, yes." Then, he led Luo Mingshi towards his direction.
When the news came out that Luo Mingshi's Second Miss had requested an audience, Luo Xingchen was still taking care of the matters in the study. Without even raising his head, he said: "Let her in."
When the servant invited Luo Mingshi in again, Elder Luo still had not removed her gaze from the document in her hands.
Luo Mingshi then said gently and politely: "Is the elder well?"
Luo Xingchen was startled for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and unhappily said: "I'm doing very well." Originally, I was fine, but you asked me if I was well and if I was well and if there was anything wrong with Ankang.
Luo Mingshi was still smiling, and comforted: "Clan Elder, please do not be angry, let me talk to the Clan Elder."
After Luo Xingchen heard this, he snorted: "Who would dare bother young miss to accompany me to speak. With young miss being so idle, have you finished reading the entire room's account book?"
The room is full of books, which may wait until next year.
On the other hand, Luo Mingshi was still smiling, pretending to not understand Elder Luo's sarcasm, and slowly said: "I am here to look for Elder Luo for a meal, to get a servant for myself."
Luo Xingchen did not expect Luo Mingshi to speak so straightforwardly. He was surprised for a moment, "You, a young miss of the Luo Family, actually came to beg for food from an old man like me? "Hire a servant?
"You are an elder, how could you possibly be an old man?" Luo Mingshi was still all smiles.
Luo Xingchen coldly snorted again, and was unwilling to argue with Luo Mingshi, but said, "I have not restricted you from eating or drinking yet. If you take yourself to be a guest, then just wait for someone else to serve you."
Luo Mingshi secretly thought about what Luo Xingchen had said, and at the end, the fake smile on her face finally disappeared, "Is Elder truly thinking like that?"
Luo Xingchen saw that Luo Mingshi understood his words, and snorted: "No matter what, I'm not that stupid."
Then, he continued with a hint of anger, "You Luo Family people are all on guard against me like jackals, but none of you thought that if it wasn't for me, this Luo Family would have already lost to your father. Although it is normal for the elder to take care of the clan's businesses, look at what your father has done."
Luo Mingshi was silent for a moment, without saying a word, no matter how much wrong his father was, it was not something she could say.
Seeing Luo Mingshi standing there without saying a word, Luo Xingchen spat out, "I can't bear to see such an incompetent ingrate, to actually lose the entire family business, I, Luo Xingchen, am not that magnanimous."
When she got to the point where she understood what was happening, not only did Luo Mingshi feel angry, she also heaved a sigh of relief, "Is what the elder said true?"
Luo Xingchen had originally thought that he would leave in a huff by now, but who would have thought that she would actually smile and ask if he took his words to heart. That happy look on his face made it seem as if he had promised her some good fortune.
"I, Luo Xingchen, cannot lie, what are you laughing about, are you not stupid?"
These words could be said to be extremely impolite, but after Luo Mingshi heard this truth, the understanding she had in her heart was also greatly different.
"The reason why I'm so happy is because I know that the Elder Luo is a truly magnanimous person." As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head again. The prize seemed to be a bit of a penance to him: "Our hearts are on the side of our scoundrels. Elder, please forgive us."
