Chapter 557: Matchmaking

Hearing the commotion of the guards not far away, Li Xiu also looked up, only to see Shangguan Yi surrounded by several guards in the middle, as if they were questioning him something, it is estimated that Shangguan Yi has something to look for him, but the guards around Li Xiu don't know him, after all, he has just come to the Ministry of Agriculture, so he stopped him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Let him come!" Li Xiu immediately instructed the guards that although Shangguan Yi had only recently entered the Ministry of Agriculture, he had already begun to show his talents, and even Yang Dui praised this young man several times for his steadfastness and hard work, far better than some scholars who could only talk empty words.

"Xiaguan meets the colt!" Shangguan Yi walked quickly to Li Xiu and saluted, but when he saw Qi Niang and Ha Er beside Li Xiu, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although they changed into women's clothes, but Shangguan Yi still recognized them at a glance, but then he lowered his head and didn't dare to look more, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and staring at other people's female relatives is a very impolite behavior.

"Don't be polite, you've done a good job during this time, even Yang Dui is full of praise for you, what's the matter with coming to me today?" Li Xiu looked at Shangguan Yi and couldn't help but smile and said, Shangguan Yi performed well in the Ministry of Agriculture, which also shows that he didn't look at the wrong person, but it's not surprising to think about it, Shangguan Yi is a person who can be the prime minister, and he will definitely not be too bad in terms of ability.

"Qiyu Horse, this is the sweet potato planting area counted by the state capitals in Guanzhong, including the original planting area, the area surviving after the locust plague, and the area of sweet potatoes harvested in advance by the state capitals, etc., Yang Yuanwailang ordered me to count these data, and then hand them over to you, this is the data counted by the lower officials!" Shangguan Yi said as he took out a thick piece of paper from his sleeve, and then presented it to Li Xiudao with both hands.

Li Xiu took it and took a look, and found that Shangguan Yi used a table, it seems that he should have read the book "Li Gongzi Arithmetic" written by Li Chunfeng for himself, which has the use of tables, in fact, both the court and the people have begun to use the arithmetic methods he circulated, which also makes Arabic numerals quickly popular, such as Shangguan Yi's document, which is actually an account book.

Li Xiu has never been interested in this kind of boring statistics and statistics, and it happened that Qi Niang and Ha'er were next to him, so he handed them over and said, "I haven't left homework for the two of you for a long time, can you see if there are any errors in the statistics in this document?" ”

Seeing that Li Xiu actually handed over the documents he had worked so hard to write to the two girls for review, this made Shangguan Yi a little embarrassed, but he didn't know that Qi Niang and Hate Er, as Li Xiu's students, were not comparable to ordinary people in arithmetic, especially Qi Niang, who was very good at arithmetic.

"Hehe, Shangguan is a good writer, but he is a little worse in terms of accounting, and there are two mistakes in this document alone!" It was only a moment later, I saw Qi Niang smiling and saying to the official, she was young, she didn't have to care too much about men and women, and she naturally spoke very casually.

"How is that possible, I ...... I've checked it several times! Shangguan Yi didn't expect that the document she had carefully prepared was pointed out by a little girl with two mistakes, and she was a little unconvinced at the moment.

"If you still don't believe it, then I'll let Sister Hate'er help you point it out!" Qi Niang saw that Shangguan Yi didn't admit it, and immediately puffed up her waist and said, and after speaking, she pushed Ha'er over, which made Ha'er's face red with shame, how dare she talk to a man who is not a family member in front of Li Xiu?

"You Shao, don't underestimate my two younger sisters, they have all studied with me since childhood, not to mention anything else, they are still very good at arithmetic, since they dare to say that you miscalculated, then let Hate Er help you point it out, if there is anything that won't, you can also ask her for advice!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and at the same time showed an encouraging smile to Ha'er.

With Li Xiu's consent, although Qi'er was still a little shy, she finally mustered up the courage to come to Shangguan Yi, and then said softly: "Master Shangguan, although your essay is well written, there are two errors in the algorithm, which leads to a bit of a problem with the final calculation result......

Shangguan Yi was a little unconvinced at first, but with Ha'er's explanation, he found that he was really wrong, and what made him even more ashamed was that he had never even heard of some of the arithmetic formulas used in Ha'er's explanation, let alone understood it, which made him even more blushing, after all, he had always been conceited and talented, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even compare to a little woman now.

Fortunately, Shangguanyi is a young man, and his brain is also very flexible, and he will not die like some people who are too old to save face, so when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he humbly asks for advice from Hate'er, who usually gives lectures to the children for Li Xiu, so he doesn't care, but patiently explains to him.

Seeing that Hasser and Shangguan Yi were standing together, Qi Niang covered her mouth and snickered, and then approached Li Xiu and whispered: "Big brother, how do I feel like you are deliberately matching Sister Hya'er and this Shangguan Yi?" ”

"Little slippery, don't tell me you don't know Uncle Ma's thoughts, instead of letting Uncle Ma force two people he doesn't know to marry, it's better to let them get in touch more in advance, and wait until they have a good impression of each other, and then there is no need for us to match, Shangguan Yi will naturally take the initiative to come to the door to propose!" Li Xiu glanced at Qi Niang and said, he finally said his thoughts, there is too little space for free love in this era, he and Princess Pingyang can barely be regarded as husband and wife, and later they became married with many difficulties, and Hate Er is not his daughter, so he can only try to help her create some freedom.

"Hehe, I know that I can't hide it from you, big brother, in fact, Uncle Ma also looked for me a few days ago, and told me his plans, let me test the tone of Sister Hae'er, I think this matter is a bit sudden, but this Shangguanyi seems to be not bad, at least it is much stronger than the previous surname Zhang, and Sister Ha'er can contact it." Qi Niang smiled mischievously again at this time, she and Li Xiu deserved to be brother and sister, and they both thought of going together.

When Li Xiu was talking to Qi Niang, he also kept looking at Ha'er and Shangguan Yi not far away, Ha'er was still a little restrained at first, but he slowly relaxed, Shangguan Yi also humbly asked for advice, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Ha'er, it is estimated that this is also the first time he has met a woman who surpasses him in talent and learning. This scene also made Li Xiu smile secretly in his heart, it seems that the first conversation between the young people was quite pleasant, and there is more possibility of development in the future.

In the next period of time, the drought in Guanzhong continued, and the matter of the court because of the guilty edict became more and more intense, but what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Li Shimin suddenly started to fight back!
