Chapter Ninety-Two: I Want You to Be Convincing
"Gentlemen, please." The man in brocade had a smile on his lips and was very graceful to send off the guest.
The two dozen or so people who handed in the blank rolls left dejectedly.
The remaining forty or so people, along with countless pairs of eyes in the building, looked at the man in brocade in unison.
"I regret to tell you—" He didn't say anything, but waved his hand.
With this fluttering wave, the more than fifty horses of colorful brocade were thrown onto the top floor. All of a sudden, in the huge attic, there were only five colored forges left.
From more than sixty to five, the crowd was in an uproar, and then, the sound of joy and sorrow were intertwined.
"It's good that I pressed Miss Lu."
"How could Master Xu's daughter miscalculate? This can't be, it's impossible, I crushed her with two hundred gold! ”
"Thank God, Master Yang has been hit."
"Three masters, why don't there be three masters? Oh my God, my thousand gold! ”
It was in such a mixture of joy and sorrow that suddenly, a crisp voice sounded: "Young Master Ge, unfortunately, you have to take the first step." ”
Everyone looked for prestige, and saw a young girl standing in the empty desk.
The girl is dressed in a cloth skirt, her eyes are big and bright, and there is a faint smile on her lips.
This girl is the contestant of Case No. 44.
Everyone looked up, and among the only five remaining pieces of silk, they found No. 44 very easily.
No. 44 silk has only two lonely gold rings hanging on it, and against the backdrop of the gold circles several stories high next to it, it is really pitifully tight.
"Who is this little girl?"
"When did Dezhuang have this person?"
"That's an exaggeration. So young. was able to share the stage with several long-established masters. It has not fallen so far. ”
The entire Jin Ming was shocked, and such words spread almost at the speed of the wind to every corner.
"This, how can this be ......" Ge Junran slowly stood up, and in one sentence, he said what everyone wanted. How is this possible? A little girl who looks like she is only ten years old can come this far in Jin Mingzhong.
"The daughter of Qingyun Sanjia and Xu Arithmetic. How can it be that she is not as good as a milky little girl? ”
Sigh.
"It's impossible not to be important, it's important to be true." Tian Mi still looked at him with a smile, blinked her eyes, stretched out her hands, and the two fleshy palms bounced in a bouncing posture, and said innocently and harmlessly: "Young Master Toad, I am willing to lose the bet, please." ”
"Young Master Toad, poof-" Instantly. A low sneer rang out all around.
Young people love face, so can they stand such ridicule? Ge Junran's face turned red. Stiff neck and yelled: "I don't believe it, why did you answer correctly, and we all answered wrong?" ”
"Why?" Tian Mi smiled lowly, then put away her laughter, and saluted around, and said, "The little girl took the liberty to ask, how did you answer?" ”
She is polite, others will not be rude, those who can come to this Jinming Pavilion can be regarded as a person with a head and a face, there is no need to get along with a little girl, so soon, someone will reply to her.
The first to speak was Qingyun San, and he said loudly: "In my opinion, the patriarch should take back all the seventeen horses to the clan, so that if you don't say that you are divided into three or nine, you can get rid of any number, all of them are zero!" In this way, no one suffers and no one takes advantage, how good! ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, yes, it's a good way." ”
"In the end, none of the three brothers can please anyone, and it should be a lesson."
"Why is this a clever plan wrong?"
"Although it is a solution to the problem, it is inevitably more radical, and if it is not done well, the three brothers will still have conflicts with the clan." Xu Ying pondered for a moment, and said softly: "In my opinion, you can divide the whole horse to the three brothers first, and the remaining two horses don't need to be divided, just according to the composition of the three brothers, set the number of days the horses stay in each house within a certain period of time." ”
"This is also a good idea."
"It's a solution, but it's not a hassle to be dragged back and forth like this."
"This method is useful but useful, but it is too common."
Seeing that everyone was immersed in it, Tian Mi smiled slightly and asked Ge Junran, "Dare to ask what this young master thinks?" ”
Hearing this question, everyone looked at Ge Junran.
What do you think, Ge Junran, who has always been very hard-hearted, hangs his head like a little daughter-in-law at the moment, and says weakly: "What I wrote is, I ......"
Tian Mi took a step closer and said that she couldn't hear clearly, "What is it?" ”
"I—How do I ......?"
Tian Mi tried to tilt her ears sideways, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Ge Junran was also annoyed by her questioning, suddenly raised his head, and shouted loudly: "How do I know!" ”
The audience was shocked, and the birds were silent.
Tian Mi blinked and stammered: "You write on the answer, how do you know ......"
Ge Junran nodded, found a reason again, and said confidently: "Yes, who asked him to come up with such a perverted question, and I am not the patriarch, how do I know what he is thinking?" ”
……
In the year of Sao, you have won, the wisdom of mankind is completely incomparable to you, and you will be destined to exist only in your world.
Tian Mi swallowed her saliva secretly, touched her nose, and stayed away from him.
At this time, Miss Lu, who had been sitting dignified behind her desk, slowly got up. She bowed slightly, and Fang Han said with a smile: "Your answers all have a certain amount of truth, but in fact, what Bi Xi is most curious about is this girl's answer." ”
Her hand, which was half-hidden in her wide sleeves, stretched out slightly to Tian Mi, and said with a smile: "Can the girl solve Bi Qian's doubts?" ”
Tian Mi smiled and nodded to her, and said to everyone: "Actually, my answer is very simple, that is-give a horse." ”
"A horse? What does that mean? ”
"Do you want the patriarch to send a horse to the three brothers who earn the family property?"
"Why? These three brothers earned like this for a few horses, it can be seen that they are not good birds, this is not a penalty, how can they still let the patriarch break the bank? ”
"yes, what's wrong with that? How can such an answer be correct? ”
There was a lot of discussion below, but Tian Mi always stood there peacefully, until they couldn't discuss the result no matter what, and gradually, when all eyes looked at her, she smiled and said, "Actually, no matter how much speculation you make, it's better to bring it in." The patriarch gave one horse, that is, eighteen, so, according to the instructions in the suicide note, the eldest son can get nine, the second son can get six, and the concubine can get two, everyone, I am right? “
Everyone nodded, "That's right." ”
Tian Mi's eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, the smile on her lips did not change, and she said slowly: "So, everyone, why don't you add the horses that the third son finally got to take a look at it?" ”
"Add it together, what else to add, it must be eighteen!" Everyone took it for granted, but seeing her insistence, and thinking that since this answer was agreed by Jin Ming, maybe there was really some mystery, so they calculated the letter suspiciously.
"Nine plus six plus two—"
At this point, everyone looked incredulous, forgot to look at the girl in disbelief, and then quickly turned back and counted the string of numbers over and over again.
"That's right...... It's seventeen. Everyone looked at each other in horror, and they felt like they were seeing a ghost in the daylight.
Obviously it is counted with eighteen, why does the result add up to seventeen? Could it be that all of them miscalculated? Or is this millennia-old algorithm actually wrong?
A question easily made them doubt their long-standing cognition, and almost overturned the arithmetic foundation of the past and the present.
"You understand now, right?" Tian Mi smiled and said, "The patriarch gave them a horse, which is eighteen, so that they can divide the inheritance according to their father's wishes." And after the division, it adds up to seventeen horses, and there is one horse left. This one, in a reasonable way, should be returned to the patriarch. In this way, the matter was settled, and the patriarch did not suffer any loss, and everyone was happy. ”
"Girl, this method is too mysterious......"
"This, normal people, who would have thought?"
"Perfect, so perfect!"
Countless exclamations rushed from all directions, Tian Mi's heart was already stable, and she would not get carried away, she walked a few steps slowly, patted Ge Jun's body with a lost soul, crossed him, borrowed his words, faced everyone, and said: "So, this question tells us that there are many ways to solve the problem, and addition and subtraction are not only applicable to arithmetic, but also to life. ”
"It's just that in life, we are used to using subtraction, always wanting to be the one who makes the most profit, and we are unwilling to pay or suffer, and the result is just like these three brothers, who have lost several times. But in fact, sometimes using addition will have unexpected effects, because we don't only have two options to win or lose, the best result is actually a win-win situation. ”
The best outcome is not a win or a loss, but a win-win.
This translation of the theory almost subverted their traditional values. Everyone looked at the little girl in the audience in amazement.
It is not a skill to be able to calculate a question, but to be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of life from the cold numbers, I have to say that this is a great ability and worthy of respect.
But girl, can you not be so young without wearing a cloth garment? You are like this, how can you make the powerful people in the audience embarrassed?
Fortunately, this is a calculation, and the purpose is to express their opinions and exchange experiences, so in everyone's hearts, they just admire, and they don't feel that she is arrogant. This is the special feature of Jin Ming, even if its threshold is high, when you enter here, what you value most is excellent skills and knowledge.
"The girl is high-minded, and the baby language is convincing." Xu Yingyu held the abacus in her hand and saluted Tian Mifu.
"I'll take it too." The three leaders of Qingyun Street are full of anger.
"I have to take it." Everyone gave up.
Tian Mi smiled and returned the salute.
At this time, without her opening, the Qingyun San master shouted at Ge Junran: "Young Master Ge, I am willing to lose the bet, please." ”
"Yes, even if you are the son of Ge Ye, you can't break Jin Ming's rules."
"Scream, Hugh is a waste of everyone's time."
The tone of the crowd was really unkind. (To be continued......)
