Chapter 42: Shock

85_85797 At this time, Ji Ji has a huge advantage that no one can imagine, even she herself underestimates, that is, she is very knowledgeable.

Erudition is not uncommon after the Sui and Tang dynasties, but in this era, it is rare.

Because of what? Generally speaking, their advantages lie in three aspects: first, they have a large number of fields and tenant farmers, that is, the advantage of population, second, they have countless wealth, that is, they have an economic advantage, and third, they have a cultural monopoly.

When culture becomes the basic element to measure the heritage of a family and the elegance of its children, the monopoly of culture is formed. In this era, almost every family cherishes some knowledge as the family's private property, for example, once kept the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" secret for hundreds of years, and only let their own family learn to use it unhurriedly, such as the exclusive calligraphy of Langya Wang's world-famous world.

It is precisely because of this custom of cherishing oneself that the broom is self-cherishing, and this kind of knowledge fault that has been constantly war-led for more than two hundred years, that the polymath of this era is not so common.

It is precisely because of this that Ji Ji did not hesitate to take out "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" last time to save Xie Lang, which became a huge favor.

Ji Ji said in a word, led by Yuan's sister-in-law, and the six sister-in-law of the scholar clan looked at Ji Ji with a brush.

Their faces were full of horror!

When the six girls couldn't believe it, and their maidservants also stared at Ji Ji with wide eyes, Ji Ji smiled slightly and said quietly: "I will solve this problem!" ”

Aunt Yuan came back to her senses from the shock, and she first blurted out, "This is impossible!" In a blink of an eye, when she saw Ji Ji with a confident face, she thought again: Could she really know?

In the entire young generation of Jiankang, there are few arithmetic problems in the nine chapters, such a young and little-known sister-in-law, can she really do it?

It's incredible!

After a while, Aunt Yuan finally found her senses, she looked at Ji Ji and said, "You really will?" With a wave of her hand, she motioned to the maid to get a pen and paper, and when the maid was running quickly, Aunt Yuan asked again: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Ji Ji smiled lightly and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Yuan family of Chen County is a family heirloom with loyalty and filial piety, so I will take a thing from Aunt Yuan that you despise the most." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you do it, five hundred gold?" ”

Ji Ji once thought about taking this opportunity to show favor to a few scholar women, but in a blink of an eye, she thought again that these scholar women were used to the days when people in the world whose family backgrounds were inferior to theirs and held them in the palm of their hands. No matter how she shows her kindness, in the ears of these people, she will never linger like a spring breeze, and even, because of her condescension, these people will no longer look down on her.

Then, she thought about ignoring these people and coming forward to make this limelight in front of all Langjun, but there was no one behind her, no family behind her, and if she really put her name out, she would not attract friends, but would attract some ill-intentioned people, and even, put herself in the rumors.

In the end, she thought about taking the answer to this question and asking for the friendship of Yuan Xiaogu and others, or making them promise not to embarrass themselves again, but in the same way, this kind of first and then respectful will only make these women trample her in the dirt even more.

So after thinking about it, Ji Ji simply wanted to build the most unsightly things of the Kangshi clan, anyway, these things they disliked, Ji Ji would never dislike them.

The five hundred gold proposed by Ji Ji happened to be stuck on Yuan Xiaogu's psychological answer, she just sent her maid out to find someone to answer, and the price she was ready to offer was between five hundred gold and one thousand gold.

Seeing Ji Ji's straightforward price of five hundred gold, several sisters-in-law wanted to laugh, but in a blink of an eye, they met Ji Ji's bright and leisurely eyes, and thought of such a difficult and impossible arithmetic problem that no one could solve.

Aunt Yuan was the first to react, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

In the blink of an eye, she took off a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Ji Ji, saying, "This is my family heirloom, you can use this as a basis to find me in Yuan's Mansion tomorrow." ”

Ji Ji smiled idly, she casually put the bracelet on the table, picked up the pen and paper handed by the maidservant, and wrote with the pen of Youlong.

After only writing two words, a sister-in-law was shocked and exclaimed: "Your handwriting is extraordinary." ”

Ji Ji because of the pen is not enough, coupled with the lack of time to practice calligraphy, the words written, the strength is insufficient, but her calligraphy, its style is very different, in the harmony to see the sharp, is the world has never appeared in the writing method, for a while, the six sister-in-law of the scholar clan was really shocked!

The sister-in-law surnamed Yuan and several other sisters-in-law glanced at each other, and at this moment, an idea actually surfaced in their hearts at the same time: Could it be that after the Yellow Emperor, the lineage of the Zhou royal family has really been inherited for thousands of years, so that even a sister-in-law's own talent and heritage are so unfathomable?

In the blink of an eye, Ji Ji finished writing, she dried the paper, gently put it in front of Aunt Yuan, and took her bracelet into her arms, she said in a slightly chuckled, but also a little free and easy posture: "Take this answer to Cui Qian." In fact, although those northern wang clans are superior to us in arithmetic and archery, they are far inferior in piano and calligraphy. ”

She lightly pointed out this sentence, and in the eyes of several sisters-in-law who suddenly brightened, Ji Ji bowed slightly to the girls, turned around and walked out lightly.

At the same time as Ji Ji walked out, Yuan Xiaogu's authentic Luoyang accent had resounded softly in the sky above the Debate Hall, "Cui Jialangjun really underestimated me Jiankang people, a small nine-chapter arithmetic problem, why challenge me Jiankang all the handsome people?" Listen, the answer is as follows: the horses travel endlessly, and they can walk 780 miles! Almost as soon as Aunt Yuan's voice fell, Ji Ji saw that the son of the Qinghe Cui clan standing on the stage turned pale, and then, he turned his head sharply and stared in the direction of Aunt Yuan in disbelief.

Just at a glance, including the many handsome people in the Speculation Hall, everyone knew that the sister-in-law behind the bead curtain must have answered exactly the same, otherwise, this Cui Qian would not be so shocked!

And behind the bead curtain, after Yuan Xiaogu watched Ji Ji's figure disappear from the gate, her clear gaze turned back to the huge hall of thought, at this moment, Lang Jun, who was gathered together, and countless famous Jiankang Junyan, all looked in their direction in disbelief. The shocked, reverent, and sighing gazes of these Langjun were something that Yuan Xiaogu, a spring girl, had never understood, and suddenly, her self-esteem was greatly satisfied!

For a while, Aunt Yuan actually thought: If only I really solved it. If it is really me who answered, just this time today, my reputation can be compared with Xie Daoyun, with a name like Xie Daoyun, with my background of Chenjun Yuan, I just want to marry Xie Lang, and I can marry it.

Ji Ji's master and servant walked out of the hall of thought leisurely.

After walking out for a while, Qin Xiaocao said in a tone of disbelief: "Girl, why do you know so many things?" She said confusedly: "Could it be that there are really ancestors and ghosts and gods protecting each other?" "So, such an unsolvable arithmetic problem, my sister-in-law actually solved it, so many sisters-in-law of the scholar clan who could not be offended, and my sister-in-law could make them money at the same time, but also shocked them?

For Qin Xiaocao's shock, Ji Ji just smiled indifferently.

At this time, Xie Lang seemed to have left, because there were only five or six pedestrians on the blocked streets.

The master and servant found Sun Fu in an alley, and at that moment, the master and servant began to return home.

Ji Ji had just entered the manor with her front foot, and on her back foot, the servant sent by Zheng Wu to receive the screen also came back with the screen.

Putting the screen in front of Ji Ji, who was seventeen years old, Qin Xiaocao's brother-in-law Qin Xiaomu said: "After the villain got this screen, he got rid of three groups of people who were following him before and after. ”

Ji Ji nodded and said softly: "It's about Lu Shi'er's future and life, and it's normal for someone to follow her." In a blink of an eye, she praised again: "You have done a good job!" ”

Qin Xiaomu, who had been praised, was happy, and in his eyes shining, Ji Ji handed the bracelet he got from Aunt Yuan to Qin Xiaocao, and instructed: "What happened today, you go and talk to Steward Zheng, how to get back the five hundred gold, you few can also discuss it." ”

Qin Xiaocao hurriedly responded: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. ”

Ji Ji nodded, and said: "Time is very tight, all my attention will be on this screen in the future, if it's okay, no one is allowed to disturb me." ”

"Yes."

After the servants left, Ji Ji opened the screen.

On this screen, embroidered is a picture of a hundred birds towards the phoenix, a hundred kinds of birds of various postures, around a phoenix with a golden light on the head bathed in the spring flowers.

In fact, in Ji Ji's view, although this embroidery can embroider people and animals into three-dimensional, it really needs to be vivid, and it has to be matched with mountain and river embroidery.

However, this time she is just to fill in the gap, as long as the screen is restored to its original state, this embroidery is not vivid, it has nothing to do with her.

After nailing the screen to the embroidery shed, Ji Ji's eyes looked at the place that had been cut.

The position that was cut happened to be where the phoenix's feathers were, and when Ji Ji glanced at it in a hurry, she noticed that the damaged place of this screen was very coincidental, and it was easy to repair.

With the sunlight shining into the window, Ji Ji looked carefully and carefully, and after determining the repair plan, she picked up the embroidery needle and embroidered it on the blank screen next to her.

…… The way of embroidery, she has lost her hand for many years, and now the plan is to practice the technique to be familiar, and it is not too late to repair it.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

In the past ten days, Qin Xiaocao first came to tell her, saying that the jade bracelet of Yuan Xiaogu had been sent back, and the five hundred gold in exchange had also been put into the warehouse, but when she went to exchange gold, she was tested by the people of Yuan Mansion several times, and on the way back, Yuan Fu also sent someone to follow her. However, Yuan Xiaomu was the most clever in doing this kind of thing, and he easily got rid of the stalker.

Then Zheng Wu came to thank Ji Ji, this old housekeeper, who was already old, nagged there for a long time, to put it mildly, it was to thank Ji Ji for her appearance, he said, when Ji Ji did not come, they were more than 30 people, guarding only a little more than half an acre of mountains and forests, when they were very hungry, even the grass roots were eaten, his old man was old, he didn't expect to be able to see the people of the main family before his life, and he could also get the gift of the main family, and from then on he could eat full food and meat.

In a blink of an eye, he said that he had learned about Ji Ji's ability from Qin Xiaocao, he said, the entire Jiangnan, in arithmetic and archery, has completely declined, Ji Ji is so proficient in arithmetic, it seems that she has been blessed by her ancestors, but unfortunately, she is not a man.

Then, Zheng Wu said that now everyone is not worried about food and clothing, and he has ordered everyone to pick up the skills given by his ancestors.

So, that night, Ji Ji heard the sound of chimes from the manor, as well as an ancient, pre-Qin unique sheng music.

After practicing for half a month, Ji Ji felt that she could. So, she set about repairing the screen.

The screen is cut with phoenix feathers, Ji Ji only needs to embroider on the back lines, and use some mountain and river embroidery very secretly, so that the straight line that was cut is not only gone, but also makes the feathers have a line of reflection, bringing out a vivid beauty. When you look at it from the back, you can't see any traces of being cut at all, even if you look closely at the sun, you can only see the feathers erected by the roots, but it is more powerful.

In order to cover up, she embroidered some mountains and rivers on the corresponding feathers. So, when you look at this screen from the front, it is the same as before, and even every feather of the phoenix is more bright and vivid than before, and when you look at it from the back, it is even more perfect without any flaws.

……

When there were still two days before the Queen Mother's birthday, the screen repaired and perfected by Ji Ji finally returned to the hands of Lu Shi'er
