The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

The atmosphere was tense, and the shopkeeper silently took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. The accountant seemed a little unconvinced, but it was not that he didn't believe that he had made a mistake, but that he didn't believe that a woman like Jiang Tunan could get it right.

He snatched the abacus from another guy and carefully calculated the number just now.

"Forget it, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

The shopkeeper's voice was filled with anger. He said that the mistake should have been made when the important person was present.

"Second cousin, I..."

"Shut up! Why don't you back off!"

Jiang Tunan understood. It turned out that he was the shopkeeper's relative. No wonder he was so confident just now.

"You distinguished guests, why don't you go to the private room first? A waiter will bring the latest styles of jewelry for you ladies to choose from."

The shopkeeper now just wants to send these people away quickly. He originally just didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Mingxu, but now he has made one wrong step after another.

"You can go, but apologize to my sister first."

"what?"

The shopkeeper seemed incredulous, and the accountant was also stunned. Xiao Mingxu said slowly,

"I apologize for your slight."

The shopkeeper seemed unwilling to give in. After struggling for a long time, he bowed and apologized politely.

"Miss, I apologize for any offense I have caused you."

Jiang Tunan had just said it casually, but he didn't expect things to develop into this state. He immediately lost interest in looking at the jewelry.

"Forget it, cousin, let's go somewhere else. I don't want to hang around here anymore."

It seemed that the shopkeeper apologized reluctantly. If he was harboring some bad intentions, she would be in trouble. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so he would rather run away as a sign of respect.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Xiao Mingxu didn't know why Jiang Tunan suddenly became upset, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, where do you want to go?"

Jiang Tunan thought about it and seemed to have heard that the best-selling books in Kyoto all came from the Huangfu family, so she discussed with Xiao Mingxu,

"Actually, I want to read storybooks. Didn't my cousin Ji say before that most of the storybook business in Kyoto is in the hands of the Huangfu family? Then, cousin, do you know where the Huangfu family's store that specializes in selling storybooks is?"

"I know where it is!"

Xiao Mingxu didn't actually read much in the book, so Jiang Tunan's question stumped him. Ye Ruzhen next to him was a little excited.

"Xiao Nan, do you want to buy a storybook? I'll take you there!"

"Okay."

I forgot that Ye Ruzhen was here too. Of course, it would be more reliable to ask Ye Ruzhen for help with this kind of thing.

"Then cousin, how about Zhenzhen and I go buy the storybook first?"

Although it was a bit impolite to say this and it seemed like he was trying to drive them away, it was not good for Xiao Mingxu, a grown man, to follow two girls while they were shopping.

It mainly affects the two of them to gossip.

"Well, I just happened to have something to do with Hao Youcai. Xiao Nannan, you and Miss Ye go first. But as we agreed, I'll reimburse you for the things you buy today."

Jiang Tunan's eyes widened instantly.

"Thank you cousin!"

"and many more!"

Jiang Tunan and his companions were about to leave, but were stopped by the accountant.

"What's your business?"

Ye Ruzhen looked at the accountant with dissatisfaction.

"Whose lady is this?"

The accountant ignored Ye Ruzhen and stared straight at Jiang Tunan.

"none of your business."

Seeing this, Xiao Mingxu walked in front of Jiang Tunan to block the accountant's gaze.

"I just thought that the arithmetic method used by this lady just now was very novel. I would like to know who her teacher was?"

"Why do you ask?"

Jiang Tunan had a blank expression on his face, but he was a little angry inside. Judging from what happened just now, this accountant was not only arrogant, but also relied on the fact that he was a relative of the shopkeeper to be overbearing in Qishefang. But when the shopkeeper apologized just now, he didn't come out to take any responsibility.

"I just think that since the young lady is so smart and talented, she shouldn't be unknown in the capital, so I want to..."

Jiang Tunan understood what this person meant: You are so capable, but you are not that famous.

"What are you thinking about? Do you want to test me?"

Jiang Tunan pointed out his worries directly, and the accountant was a little embarrassed, but he continued,

"How about we have a math contest?"

"Arithmetic competition?!"

Because she was so shocked, Ye Ruzhen shouted loudly, attracting some customers around.

"You are an accountant, so of course you are good at arithmetic."

More and more people gathered around, and the accountant curled his lips in satisfaction when he saw this. Jiang Tunan had just made him lose face in front of everyone, and he absolutely could not swallow this humiliation!

"I saw that this young lady was very clear and logical just now. I thought that she must have learned arithmetic, so I came to challenge her. Or is she not good at arithmetic and was just pretending just now?"

The dissatisfaction in Xiao Mingxu's eyes grew stronger. When did the people from Qishefang become so presumptuous?

"Even if you say that, it still can't cover up the fact that you made a mistake!"

Ye Ruzhen was furious and wanted to curse a few more times, but was stopped by Jiang Tunan.

"Okay, let's compete then."

The accountant showed a triumphant smile on his face, and Jiang Tunan spoke again.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

The accountant was puzzled, and Xiao Mingxu and Ye Ruzhen beside him also looked puzzled.

"Since this is a competition, why don't we bet on something?"

"Oh?"

"The winner can make one request to the loser."

The accountant became excited at this time. He thought he would definitely win, so he must be the one who made the request to Jiang Tunan.

After looking Jiang Tunan up and down, he found that the fabric on this young lady was good, but not particularly expensive. On the contrary, the fabric on the young man next to her was very good. This young man must have a good family background, either rich or powerful.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After thinking about it, the accountant said,

"If I win, I want one hundred gold."

The people around gasped. This accountant was really bold. Everyone felt a little sympathetic towards the young lady. Even if someone in the family was an official in the court, it would be very difficult to come up with a hundred gold coins.

"How dare you be so shameless! And you're asking for a hundred gold coins! Pah!"

When Ye Ruzhen heard the accountant's high demands, she became so angry that she started cursing.

Xiao Mingxu approached Jiang Tunan and said,

"Xiao Nannan, are you sure?"

Jiang Tunan nodded, then shook his head.

"What does it mean?"

Xiao Mingxu was a little confused about what Jiang Tunan meant.

"I mean, a little bit, but not much."

Xiao Mingxu: ???

Ye Ruzhen: ???

Ye Ruzhen said in a low voice,

"Then you still compare!"

"It doesn't matter. If you lose, you lose."

"Where did you get the hundred gold?"

Jiang Tunan was fearless: "I don't have any money, but I have my life."

Xiao Mingxu was speechless after being tricked by Jiang Tunan. Forget it, at worst he would pay the hundred gold for Jiang Tunan after losing. After all, things that can be solved with money are not a big deal.

"Has this lady made up her mind?"

The accountant couldn't wait to start, he already saw his hundred gold waving towards him.

"Of course, it's already been decided. If you lose..."

Jiang Tunan's face turned cold.

"Just leave Qishefang."
