Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 525 Doubt (3)
Li Zhu couldn't go back today, so she entrusted someone to send a message to her mother, saying that she was at the second wife's place.In fact, Wang and Li Hui already knew about Li Zhu's selection from Wenjuan without her sending a message.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Zhu was helping Nan Yu to dress up.Then Mama Liu came over and said, "Ah Zhu, just now Ah Si who is next to the head of the family came and asked you to come over."

Li Zhu had no choice but to leave Nanyu and walk towards Ning Ximai's residence.

Ning Ximai is checking the account books.When Li Zhu arrived, he pointed to the table beside him without raising his head.

"Check that account book again, and sign your name after checking. Also, copy that article twice."

Ning Ximai added here again: "There are not many literate people on this mountain, so you can stand on top for a few days first."

Li Zhu didn't doubt that he was there, so he answered, sat down and began to settle accounts.

Her abacus is not very good, far worse than mental arithmetic.So she pretended to fiddle with the abacus for a while, and then began to do quick mental calculations.The account book is very thin, and it took about a quarter of an hour for Li Zhu to do the calculations.She dawdled for a while before signing.Then start transcribing the article.This article is an essay on scenery, and the literary talent is a bit incomprehensible.Li Zhu didn't care, he copied it as he asked.She has practiced calligraphy for several years, and although it has improved slightly, it is still not beautiful.Just be able to see it.

"It's finished, bring it to me." Ning Ximai reached out to take the ledger and the article.

He seemed to be reading something difficult to understand, sometimes frowning and sometimes puzzled.Finally, he let out a long breath, raised his head, and stared at Li Zhu steadfastly.

Li Zhu asked a little nervously: "Boss, did you miscalculate?"

The corner of Ning Ximai's mouth curled up, his eyes flickered, he bent down and handed over the ledger, pointed to a signature and said, "Look at this." Li Zhu glanced at it casually and was surprised.It turned out that due to inertia, she even signed the name "Li Zhu" on one of the pages.

Li Zhu suppressed the sudden heartbeat, pretending to be calm and said: "Oh, I accidentally made a mistake."

Ning Xi stared at her intently, raising the handwritten article in her hand: "What about this? I remember your father's name has the word 'Qi' and your mother's name has the word 'Xiang'. This article In the article, there are eight occurrences of the characters 'Qi' and 'Xiang', and you didn't shy away from any of them."

Li Zhu couldn't help feeling more and more nervous, but he still said calmly: "I, I forget when I get nervous."

Ning Ximai stood up slowly, walked towards her step by step, pressed his hands on the back of her chair, and said in a low voice: "If it happens by chance, you can say that you forget it, but eight times How could it be so easy to forget your parents’ names? Have you forgotten not only your parents’ names, but also your own handwriting? I have the poems you copied before, and they are completely different from now. ——Tell Me, who are you?"
