Chapter 20: Dark Circles Under Eyes
Lu Yuan heard what Xu Qiuyue said.

A trace of heartache flashed through my heart.

Xu Qiuyue is a talented person.

But in order to support his family, he had to work in the fields at a young age.

He is unwilling to learn.

Xu Qiuyue, however, was eager to learn.

The two people's destinies are very different, but they are cleverly together.

Just when Lu Yuan was sighing for Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue continued to say to Lu Yuan: "It's not impossible to be a housekeeper, but being the head of a household is a hard job, and I still have a few plots of land to farm!
I have no home, and I see that my husband has many shops and his business is busy, so he must have a lot of things to do.

Ten thousand taels of silver a month is not impossible to be a housekeeper.

Hiring a shopkeeper must cost a lot every month.

The servants and maids in the Lu Mansion are paid for their work every day. My husband, don’t you want me to work for nothing? "

Lu Yuan's sympathy disappeared in an instant.

The soup in my mouth almost spit out.

He swallowed the soup in his mouth and said to Xu Qiuyue in shock: "Ten thousand taels of silver, why don't you go and rob it!"

"I have accepted such a low monthly salary because of the relationship between you and me as husband and wife. My husband has traveled a lot and has seen the customs and practices of many places. How could he be so ignorant and make such a fuss?

I didn’t ask for ten thousand taels of gold, which is already a bargain.

Today, I will let you broaden your horizons and teach you this method of mental arithmetic for free.

This will save you from embarrassing yourself when you go out to do business in the future.

Teach you how to do the accounting..."

As Xu Qiuyue spoke, she took out a pile of old account books.

This was something that Lu's mother insisted on giving to Xu Qiuyue.

Let Xu Qiuyue take a look.

Mother Lu really wants to train Xu Qiuyue well.

However, Xu Qiuyue only wants to farm and practice martial arts now. Now is a good time to lay the foundation and she cannot waste time.

This method of mental arithmetic was taught to her by Liu Ping.

Xu Qiuyue felt that Liu Ping would definitely be handed over to Lu Yuan.

So she didn't need to hide anything.

It would be better to teach Lu Yuan before Liu Ping teaches him.

Don't waste it.

Xu Qiuyue saw that Lu Yuan was studying very seriously.

I simply taught Lu Yuan everything that Liu Ping taught me.

“You learned it!”

"I learned."

"Then let me test you, how do you calculate this account?"

Xu Qiuyue was a little surprised. When she first learned the multiplication table, it took her seven days to memorize it before she could use it flexibly. But Lu Yuan learned it so quickly, which shocked Xu Qiuyue.

Although Lu Yuan calculated a little slowly, the number was correct.

Xu Qiuyue pretended to be calm and said to Lu Yuan: "Not bad, you are only half an hour slower than me back then. It seems you have some talent. I will teach you the rest of my knowledge.

Back then, I met that wandering Taoist priest by chance. After my persistent pestering, he decided to stay for half a day and teach me half a day’s worth of knowledge. Today, I will also teach you for half a day to see how much you can learn…”

Xu Qiuyue was not modest and boastful.

Anyway, only she knows how much time it took her to learn it.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But looking at Xu Qiuyue who was full of energy, he was too embarrassed to say that he was tired and wanted to rest.

He was really sleepy.

Learning math problems is really stressful.

Lu Yuan never expected that Xu Qiuyue could be so patient.

He had hoped that the candle would run out and he could go to rest.

But before he could say anything, Xu Qiuyue quickly lit the candle.

Where Lu Yuan couldn't see, Xu Qiuyue secretly drank two sips of spiritual spring water to refresh herself.

As for Lu Yuan, ordinary tea will do.

She even said that she could just drink plain water to save some money. This good tea is for Lu Yuan to drink.

"Madam, although I am a bit frugal, I am not so stingy as to only let you drink plain water."

"My husband, since you have chosen to do business, you must learn business knowledge well. I will teach you all at once. I will first teach you what distillation is. This knowledge is very useful in selling wine, making rouge, and delicious food."

···········
Xu Qiuyue said a lot in one breath, including the principles behind it.

Apart from mathematics, Xu Qiuyue didn't care whether Lu Yuan had learned it or not.

What she wanted was for Lu Yuan to have a general impression in his mind so that when Liu Ping came to teach him.

Naturally, Lu Yuan would not accept Liu Ping's favor.

Because he had already learned it once.

Originally, Xu Qiuyue didn't want to teach Lu Yuan so quickly.

But she didn't expect Liu Ping to come in so early.

Lu Yuan didn’t like Liu Ping as much as Xu Qiuyue thought.

But Xu Chunhua’s crying in her previous life didn’t seem fake.

All I can say is that Lu Yuan is probably the same as Xuan Jiuqing, loving no one but himself.

The next morning, when Xu Qiuyue started to cook breakfast, Lu Yuan slipped back to his yard to sleep with big dark circles under his eyes.

He is so sleepy.

In the second half of the night, he could hardly open his eyes.

A man's dignity supports him in studying hard.

When Liu Ping heard that Lu Yuan had stayed in Xu Qiuyue's room all night, she was furious.

Although Lu Yuan was considerate to her along the way, he never touched her. As a girl, it was not easy for her to take the initiative in this matter.

Although she no longer liked Lu Yuan very much, he was the first man her heart was attracted to.

She didn't expect that Lu Yuan would become unclean so soon.

She couldn't accept it.

Liu Ping originally wanted to endure it, but now, she didn't want to endure it for a moment.

Just ran out.

No one in the Lu Mansion stopped her. After all, everyone knew that she was the beauty that Lu Yuan had brought back from Yangzhou at great expense, and she must be Lu Yuan's favorite.

Liu Ping waited outside the Lu Mansion for a while, and she found that Lu Yuan did not come out to chase her.

There was no movement in the Lu Mansion.

Liu Ping was so angry.

But her stomach was empty and she was hungry.

She has no money.

But luckily she had jewelry.

These jewellery are very valuable.

Liu Ping went to the pawnshop to exchange some silver, then found a restaurant and started to eat a lot.

Ask the waiter to serve all the delicious food.

Taohua Town is very peaceful under the governance of Lu's father.

Mr. Lu may not be a good father, but he is a good official.

He basically stays in the government office on weekdays.

In order to be with Lu's father, Lu's mother Zhu Rong would also stay in the yamen at night. The two of them were very loving.

If Liu Ping were somewhere else, he might have encountered a pickpocket when he walked out of the pawnshop, not to mention eating and drinking like this.

After Liu Ping had eaten, he went for a walk.

After asking around, I found out that most of the industries in Taohua Town belong to Lu Yuan.

It’s not that no one has approached Liu Ping to chat with him.

But Liu Ping felt that these people were not as rich as Lu Yuan, so she didn't want to bother with them.

She held her breath and wanted to find someone better than Lu Yuan.

Fortunately, Taohua Town is not far from the capital.

Liu Ping knew that there were many dignitaries in the capital.

Liu Ping decided to go to the capital and marry a prince. No, she wanted to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess. She was a time-traveling girl.
