At the dinner table, the atmosphere between Lu Xiao and Fan Changrui gradually became more harmonious, and their gestures became more natural.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any questions, he switched from defense to offense:

"I heard from Brother Fan that Miss enjoys reading?"

"I just read a few miscellaneous books to pass the time when I have nothing else to do."

Fan Changrui didn't know his views on women's education, especially since she herself was studying military texts, so she casually explained a few things and then added:

"Most of the time, I help my brother check the accounts of the various shops."

"My elder brother is a bit careless and spends money extravagantly. He often turns a blind eye to his subordinates asking for money."

When talking about her areas of expertise, she relaxed considerably, and her voice became more assertive:

"Take this month's accounts for example. I discovered that several managers and employees took money they shouldn't have."

"Although it's only a few hundred taels, the wealth and status of my Fan family today is the result of accumulating every penny. Therefore, I would like to ask my brother to severely punish those people."

"But my brother said that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so just pretend you didn't see it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao chuckled, agreeing with Fan Changxin's approach:

"Actually, Brother Fan is not wrong."

"Miss Fan, life is all about money and power. Only by obtaining them can we satisfy our desires in all aspects. Otherwise, what's the point of living like a walking corpse?"

"Although we are not close, I can say with certainty that Brother Fan is kind-hearted and a rare good person."

"By the way, how does Miss Fan usually check the accounts?"

He thought that this woman in front of him was good at accounting, and the idea of ​​digging her up to the outpost came to mind.

Nowadays, the White Wolf outpost is full of old masters, and very few of them are literate.

Although Zhong Wei can handle the accounting, as the outpost expands, he will definitely be overwhelmed by the task alone, so it is necessary to prepare talent in this area in advance.

The woman in front of me is just right!

Fan Changrui, quite embarrassed, said:

"I simply summed up the expenditures and incomes separately, because I am more sensitive to numbers and can spot any errors or omissions."

"Miss Fan, could you please have someone bring some paper and pens?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao decided to test the other party's basic arithmetic skills, and then explained his intentions:

"My White Wolf outpost happens to be short of an accountant. If Miss Fan doesn't mind, she might be of great help to me in the future!"

Soon after, servants from the Fan family brought over the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper).

Lu Xiao waited until the other party finished grinding the ink before picking up his pen and writing down a few questions.

He first forged a bill, deliberately understating the amount by a few coins, and included a lot of miscellaneous items in the bill.

After discovering that Fan Changrui could easily calculate it, they directly raised questions about land rent calculation, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, silk distribution, and even the problem of whether there was a surplus or a deficit and how to buy a hundred chickens with a hundred coins!

These questions range from easy to difficult, but from a modern person's perspective, they are certainly not difficult.

However, for the ancients who had never been exposed to professional arithmetic books, it was not so simple.

To his surprise, although Fan Changrui had some difficulty calculating the last two or three questions, she still managed to get the correct answer in the end!

In this way, Lu Xiao was certain that she had an extremely high talent for arithmetic, so he directly taught her the equations in a way that she could understand.

"Young master, you actually have such a convenient method of calculation?"

After Fan Changrui calculated according to the equation he provided, she was instantly astonished:

"With these methods, I can more than double the speed at which I check accounts, and that will allow me to read more books!"

"Young master, you are truly a prodigy!"

After saying that, she realized she had been somewhat inappropriate and quickly apologized.

"I was impetuous, please forgive me, young master."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao smiled and shook his head:

"If anyone should be called reckless, it's me, since I'm the one who asked you to solve these problems."

"Miss Fan, it's getting late, I'll head back to my room to rest now."

He glanced at the sky and realized with a start that the night was already past midnight, so he quickly got up to say goodbye.

After all, it was a lone man and woman in someone else's home, and staying any longer would probably damage the woman's reputation.

But the next second, Fan Changrui suddenly covered her forehead and said unsteadily:

"Young Master Lu, I...I think I've had too much to drink, and I feel a little dizzy."

"May I be so kind as to be helped back to my room to rest?"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then, seeing the lingering light in the other person's eyes, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing:

"In that case, I apologize for my intrusion."

puff-

"Um……"

As soon as she entered the other woman's boudoir, Fan Changrui collapsed onto the bed, clinging tightly to Lu Xiao's arm, causing him to fall down as well.

Their eyes met, and Fan Changrui let out a shy, soft moan:

"Please, young master, have mercy on me..."

After saying that, she took the initiative to kiss him.

After solving those arithmetic problems, Fan Changrui made up her mind to marry Lu Xiao, even if it meant becoming his concubine.

Although they only spent a short half-day together, she was already captivated by his looks and talent, so she couldn't care less about anything else and wanted to seize her own happiness!

boom--

In an instant, thunder roared and fire ignited.

……

After the song ended, Fan Changrui fell into a deep sleep under the influence of alcohol, curling up in Lu Xiao's arms like a cat, a satisfied smile on her lips as she drifted off to sleep.

At this moment, the exquisite pagoda within Lu Xiao's body suddenly erupted with dazzling light. Within the first level of the pagoda, a bright lamp lit up, and then clear characters appeared around the lamp—

The Bright Eyes Lamp is lit, rewarding the skill - Ferocious Gale!

Lu Xiao glanced at the system rewards and was immediately overjoyed.

On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. Even the most powerful general can be hit by a hidden arrow, or become sluggish due to physical fatigue after fighting for a long time.

If you were to be surrounded by enemy forces at this time, you would almost certainly be doomed!

Lu Xiao had considered that although he possessed the Dragon Shadow Limitless Spear Technique and unparalleled strength, human strength eventually had its limits, and he would eventually be unable to lift a sword and fight, just like an ordinary person.

But now, with the help of the fierce winds, he can use them to distract the enemy soldiers around him and create an opportunity for himself to escape!

Even when you have the upper hand, use this skill again to achieve even more surprises!

Therefore, Lu Xiao, filled with excitement, continued to study this skill, and before he knew it, time had passed.

Until a gentle voice called out in my ear:

"Young Master Lu, it's time to get up."

"Yeah?"

Lu Xiao suddenly came to his senses and found that it was already bright outside. Fan Changrui had also washed and dressed herself neatly and was looking at him with a smile.

He quickly sat up, looked at the woman's already styled hair ornaments, and immediately responded with a smile:

"Will you still call me 'Young Master'?"
