That night, when Xiangmanlou was about to close, an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of the door. The driver was a man in his thirties, with big ears, and although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, the overall feeling was that he was an extraordinary man.

The two people who got out of the carriage, a man and a woman, were also wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but they wore hats on their heads, covering their faces.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the Xiangmanlou, Wu Tingzhong, who had been promoted to the manager of the teahouse, immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, three guests, the Xiangmanlou has closed. 」

"We're looking for Boss Chi. The man in his thirties spoke.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with Boss Chi?" The people who came were weird, and the two people in the back were still masked, it was about the young lady, and Wu Tingzhong naturally couldn't let them meet people rashly.

"In Xia Wuyi, there is a letter here, please give it to Boss Chi, she will definitely come out to meet. The man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Wu Tingzhong.

Wu Tingzhong stretched out his hand to take it, very puzzled about their identities, but he still asked them to sit down and wait, and then went upstairs to find Chi Xiaoman.

Chi Xiaoman is settling today's accounts in the study on the third floor, not that she didn't ask for the account room, but she has seen the bookkeeping method here, and the troublesome account book looks messy, and if the large numbers are like "one thousand and one hundred and two hundred and two land dollars", how much time will it take to write these numbers, and how much space will be taken up in the account book! So I want to make a set of account books in the 21st century first, and teach Mr. Accounts the so-called "Arabic numerals" and the concept of decimal points.

Wei Chimu was on the side, Han Yi left early today, although it was the first day of the opening, but he still had things to deal with in other shops of the Han family, so he had to leave first.

The eye-catching guy is gone, and Yu Chimu is in a good mood, so he is interested in watching Chi Xiaoman teach people to keep accounts here.

At first, he thought that Xiaoman's behavior was very funny, and he had tried to invite the bookkeeper, and he was very capable, and he didn't need her to teach people at all, but when he heard her talk about the accounting method of Arabic numerals, he became a little interested and began to listen, and later he had to admire what she said, and it was really much simpler and easier than the previous way of bookkeeping.

Mr. Xu Renshan's eyes lit up after hearing this, this kind of accounting method was the first time he had seen it, but he had to admit that it was much simpler and clearer than the one he used in the past, and these numbers were also quite easy to understand, and the person who invented this accounting method was simply a genius!

"Boss Chi, who invented this? It's amazing!" Xu Renshan touched his little goatee, and his face was full of admiration.

"It's ...... An old man named Allah invented it, and I used to see its writing and arithmetic method in a book, in which the man said that he was over the age of sixteen and had spent his whole life studying this kind of numerical algorithm, so I called it Arabic numerals. Chi Xiaoman said with some humility. She can't say that it was invented by Indians, there was no such country as India at all in this era, and she couldn't explain to them why the Indians invented it was called Arabic numerals, because it was impossible for them to understand it, so they could only talk nonsense.

"That book, can I lend it to the next to see?" Xu Renshan's face was full of excitement, if this kind of number operation could not be passed on, it would be a pity!

Chi Xiaoman said apologetically: "That book is not mine, and I saw it a few years ago, and I don't remember where I saw it." ”

Although Xu Renshan was a little disappointed, it was just a disappointment, because he didn't know Chi Xiaoman's background, he naturally wouldn't have any suspicions, thinking that she was brought by someone from her family to visit friends when she was young, and Xu saw it in someone else's home.

But Wei Chimu felt strange, could it be that the library of the palace of the Shengxing Dynasty was even richer than the collection of books in Yasukuni? Why did Xiaoman always read something that he had never heard of?

He decided to ask her more privately.

There was a knock on the door, and their conversation was just over, Chi Xiaoman handed the ledger to Xu Renshan, asked him to study it himself, and shouted, "Come in." ”

"Miss, there is a man named Wu Yi downstairs, who brought two people and said to hand over this letter to you, and you will go to see them. After Wu Tingzhong entered the door, he respectfully handed over the letter.

Chi Xiaoman took out the letter paper and opened it to look at it, the smile on his face grew, but after seeing it, he burned the letter paper on the candle flame.

"Xiaoman, you are ......" Wei Chimu was a little strange about her behavior.

"Mu, come downstairs with me to meet each other, it's someone you know. "Chi Xiaoman's mood is really good, she made a lot of money on the first day of opening today, and if she continues to do so, she will soon be able to recover the cost of buying a house, decoration, etc., and then it is the time to really make money, and now, there is such a good news, she has not received a reply from the prince's brother and is still worried! Now you don't have to worry.

The letter was written by Prince Xuanyuan Yu, telling her that she was not only Xiaolian, but even Master Yuanzhi wanted to follow her, so the time dragged on for a long time, in order to find a way to get the two out of the palace, he racked his brains, and almost thought that his head was white.

The prince's brother painted her letter with fire paint, and she asked someone to bring it personally, which shows that this letter cannot be seen by outsiders, and the content inside is indeed not allowed to be seen by others, so although Chi Xiaoman believed in the people in the Xiangman Building, he still carefully burned the letter.

Because Xiaolian is out of the palace, it is not a big deal for the prince to get a palace maid out of the palace, but Master Yuan Zhi also followed out of the palace, although the emperor Lao Tzu can not restrict the freedom of Master Yuan Zhi, but Master Yuan Zhi's movements have always been in the emperor's control, even if he leaves the palace, he can only go back to Tianlong Temple, but now he is not going back to Tianlong Temple, but to follow Chi Xiaoman, that is a matter of strict zhòng.

Chi Xiaoman hurriedly went downstairs, she couldn't wait to see Xiaolian, and as soon as she ran downstairs, she saw two people with hats, and as soon as the two saw her, they immediately ripped off their hats, aren't they Xiaolian and Master Yuanzhi?

As soon as Xiaolian saw Chi Xiaoman, she immediately cried excitedly and stepped forward to hug her and called her master, and said in a choked voice: "Master...... Xiaolian ...... Xiaolian thought that you had really left Xiaolian alone...... Woo......"

"Good, good, don't cry, how could I leave you, your master, I am blessed with a great life, and you also want to enjoy happiness with me. Chi Xiaoman smiled and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said, "Don't cry, if you cry again, the little beauty will not be beautiful." ”

"The master will make fun of people. Xiaolian burst into tears and laughed. In fact, she couldn't believe it was true along the way, she saw the body of her master with her own eyes, and the emperor also held a funeral for the princess, and still posthumously sealed the title of "Temple Princess", why did the prince and Imperial Doctor Liu tell her master to let her out of the palace?

None of them told her that Xuanyuan Liuxia was just cheating to death, and that corpse was disguised by someone else, and she was afraid of extraneous branches, so even if Master Yuan Zhi also followed out of the palace to follow her master together, she still believed that she was suspicious, and it was not until the moment she saw her master with her own eyes that she believed that this qiē was not a dream.

"That's right, Xiaolian won't call me master in the future, you want to call me sister, you know? Chi Xiaoman said with a smile and touched her face.

"How can that happen!" Xiaolian was startled, although she had known that the master's personality of saying that wind is rain, but she was just a slave, how could she be called the master's sister.

"I said it would be done, and that was it. Chi Xiaoman didn't allow her to object, so he turned his head and smiled at Master Yuan Zhi and said, "This ...... What should I call it?"

"Wen Yuhang. In order not to let people discover his monk's head, Wen Yuhang had a turban wrapped around his head, and Master Yuanzhi's signature white beard was also shaved, so he looked younger, but his age was there, and his appearance couldn't change much younger, which made him quite depressed in his heart.

"Grandpa Wen...... Hee-hee. Chi Xiaoman grimaced at him mischievously.

Wen Yuhang was laughed at by her, he still can't understand why he has to come to this era to help her, she doesn't live well without him, smooth sailing, and now she has opened a teahouse and is the boss, which is better than him!

"Boss Chi, the next task has been completed, and if you want to go back immediately, you won't bother. Wu Yi saw that several of them were reunited, and his mission had been completed, so he offered to leave.

"It's been hard all the way, why don't you rest here for a night before leaving?" Chi Xiaoman said.

"No, there are other important things to do, so it's inconvenient to stay longer. Wu Yi replied respectfully. Although he didn't know Chi Xiaoman's identity, he was just a person that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared about, so he naturally had to be respectful.

"Okay, don't force it to stay, this is for you to drink tea on the way. Chi Xiaoman untied her purse, and she remembered that there were about ten taels of silver in it.

"No, Boss Chi, this is the next task, and I will leave here. Wu Yi didn't take his purse, arched his hand, and turned around to leave Xiangmanlou.

In order to welcome the arrival of Xiaolian and Wen Yuhang, Chi Xiaoman asked the cook to cook two tables of dishes, and they were in the Xiangman Building, and everyone sat on the table and ate together.

During the banquet, Ji Minzhi secretly glanced at Xiaolian several times, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Could this be the little beauty that Miss Chi said she wanted him to know?
