Chapter 31 Studying Old Master

Just finished eating, in the silent night, there was really no pastime, Zhang Huan was playing backgammon with Qiu Tao.

In the first two days, Zhang Huan always defeated Qiu Tao, but Qiu Tao had a very good mentality, was patient, and always slowly caught up, but now the situation has changed, and Qiu Tao, who is more patient, has the upper hand in turn.

"The son of a slave wins, hee-hee,"

Qiu Tao clapped her hands happily, and her crisp and cheerful voice came out far in the quiet night, beckoning Zhang Hao and Zhang Yuan.

So Zhang Huan, who had lost two games, abdicated, and Zhang Hao, who was in high spirits, was on top, while Zhang Yuan was causing trouble on the side.

"Yuanyuan, give me the chess pieces,"

"Yuanyuan, you're begging,"

Zhang Hao said that he looked like a brother and never beat Yuanyuan, so the more he said, the more Yuanyuan loved to steal the two.

Zhang Huan began the tempering at night, jumping fifty consecutive burpees, resting for a hundred breaths, and then coming again forty times until he completed five sets.

This is equivalent to running a few kilometers of exercise, and it is most effective to exercise in situ without a field.

Zhang Hao lost a few handfuls in succession, and after losing, he couldn't turn over more and more, and wiped his tears.

"Alas, whoever moves first in backgammon is easy to win,"

Zhang Huan woke up the little fool.

'Really,'

Zhang Hao's eyes widened.

'Of course,'

Zhang Huan gave an affirmative reply.

"No wonder Childe and I always played chess first when we played chess a few days ago?"

Qiu Tao pouted, very dissatisfied.

Tsk, forget about this, it's embarrassing to take the lead with a little girl, Zhang Huan entered the room speechlessly to read a book and retreated.

"Mrs. Liu, this is the perfume and flower water that Qi Niang's Yongshun Xing has just come out, and my daughter specially brought it to you to give it a try."

Feng Xiaohe smiled lightly, she presented two porcelain vases with lady pictures, one white and one blue, quite exquisite, this name is Zhang Huan's nonsense, Feng Xiaohe felt that the name was still successful, so he used it.

'Oh, what is perfume,'

A woman in her thirties with a high bun on the opposite side was a little suspicious.

"Exactly, this is a special incense made with pollen essential oil, which is far more mellow than the smell of incense, and can be kept for more than ten days, very long,"

Feng Xiaohe opened the stopper of a perfume as he spoke, and when he landed, a wisp of refreshing fragrance surrounded the room.

Maybe the man smelled it and thought it was a new thing, and then forget it.

But how could the woman not be moved after smelling it, Mrs. Liu's eyes were staring at this so-called perfume, and her hands had involuntarily taken it, she took a few deep breaths, deeply intoxicated by this fragrance.

"Mrs. Liu, this perfume can be applied to the body after bathing, or it can be sprayed on naked clothes and coats, I think Mr. Liu will be happy,"

Feng Xiaohe said in a low voice, but the almost inaudible voice woke up Mrs. Liu, yes, there is a little concubine in the family who has been sticking to the old man recently, which is really hateful, she and Feng Xiaohe have complained about this.

It is said that she is a wife, but she can not be affected by this nest, what can she do if she directly hits Liu Ziyu, but she still has to save face for the master, this incense fragrance is special, but you can plan it, tonight...

"Qi Niang, I want to thank you this time, sister,"

Mrs. Liu nodded very meaningfully, some words really can't be explained, how can the boudoir be said, but she received this intention,

"It's just that I can use this perfume alone, my master is just Lord Shen's staff, Mrs. Shen hasn't used this incense yet,"

Liu Ziyu is Shen Kuo's staff confidant, as a civil official, don't talk about the high position of Jingluo pacification, even ordinary Zhizhou also has its own staff, responsible for writing and general affairs, this is the so-called opening.

Don't underestimate these staff, although there is no official body or the official rank is very small for the time being, but if the staff try their best to assist, after the proprietor ascends to a high position, he will recommend it, and the emperor generally gives face, giving some low-grade petty officials, which can be regarded as being able to enter the official career, or be promoted quickly, and some people above are promoted quickly and the same in ancient and modern times.

And with the support of the original proprietor, the walk is quite smooth, and it can't compare with the roll call of Donghuamen, but the starting point is very high compared to other officials.

Of course, the staff must be the descendants of the proprietor, generally speaking, there is a subordinate relationship here, whoever is the staff will be whose person in the future, and he must not rebel, otherwise he is not a person inside and outside.

So subordinate to people, Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Shen had never used it, how dare she.

"Mrs. Liu, how can Qi Niang not prepare it, there is still something dedicated to Mrs. Shen here, please hand it over to Mrs. Shen,"

Feng Xiaohe made a look, Xia He presented a delicate gift box, opened it and saw that there was another set of perfumes inside.

"That's good,"

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded, she thought about it,

"Xiaohe, in this way, it's good for you to meet Mrs. Shen with me tomorrow."

"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, I'm just a vulgar merchant,"

Feng Xiaohe hurriedly said.

"It's okay, why don't you accompany me to meet Mrs. Shen tomorrow, you dress up tomorrow, and we will go to Shen's Mansion together after coming to me,"

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, with this gift, Mrs. Shen was a little colder, but she never looked at the gift to the door.

Feng Xiaohe came out of Liu's house, she was in a really good mood, she tried her best to respect Mrs. Liu throughout the year, and tactfully gave Mrs. Shen a lot of gifts through Mrs. Liu, which made Yongshun walk very smoothly.

However, Mrs. Liu never said that she would take her to see Mrs. Shen, and this time since she opened her mouth, she had to catch it.

This morning, Han Zhifeng put on a Confucian robe again, but now this one was newly bought by Chen in a ready-to-wear store, so he can't wear a shabby Confucian robe to see Lord Zhizhou.

This time he went out, even Zhang Yuanzhou also went out to see off, after sending Zhang Huan he could go to the yamen with peace of mind, before leaving, Zhang Yuanzhou chattered for a long time, in a word, you must respect the courtesy, don't be evil.

Han Zhifeng rode the black cloud to the school, Liu Yue and Jiang Yuanfeng were also dressed in Confucian robes, and they had been waiting for a long time.

The three of them immediately set off to the Shuai Division, that is, the Yamen of the Economic Strategy Division, generally speaking, this yamen is the place where Shen Kuo works every day, and the judge of Jiedu is also on business here.

And Shen Kuo, the Zhizhou Yamen, went because he had something to do, after all, in Yanzhou, it was Shen Kuo's main duty to pacify the envoys.

The dozen or so soldiers guarding outside the yamen were quite strong, armed with swords and guns.

After the briefing, a small official introduced them to the yamen.

After passing through the heavily guarded yamen, the quiet front yard, and entering Shen Kuo's study, even if Shen Kuo appeared at the door with a smile on his face, several people also felt the faint official authority on Shen Kuo's body, which is the reason for the combination of man and power.

In this official office where the soldiers are heavily guarded and the officials are around, even an old master is a special old master who is a little coercive.

"I've seen Lord Zhizhou,"

Liu Yue and the other three saluted and met.

At this time, unless Huaxia is a master of heaven and earth, others will not bow down.

"Well, a few people, please come in, this official has been waiting for a long time, hahaha,'

Shen Kuo and the others entered his study, and the study was in the back of the yamen, and Shen Kuo's family lived in the back of the official office.

A few people hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Entering the spacious study, several people sat down, and Zhang Huan stood behind Liu Yue's side to accompany him.

Shen Kuo instructed his subordinates to prepare tea,

"Don't hide it from the two, this official has used the abacus many times after turning that day, but sometimes it is unsatisfactory, always making mistakes, and is waiting for you to come and give you some advice,"

"Lord Shen laughed, how can I wait, dare to wait for Lord Shen."

Liu Yue hurriedly said.

"The master is the first, and the official has also asked the craftsman for advice for the sake of his skills, why not,"

Shen Kuo waved his hand indifferently.

Shen Kuo's lack of arrogance made Liu Yue also admire, and he felt a lot less bad for him in his heart, but he didn't expect Shen Kuo, who had a lot of arguments between the government and the opposition, to be so approachable.

Shen Kuo anxiously moved out an account book, Liu Yue and others also learned abacus for the first time, and Zhang Huan had to make a move.

Zhang Huan calculated smoothly according to the account book, and quickly completed the calculation of the account book, which was completely correct.

Zhang Huan made it clear that if you want to use the abacus correctly, you must memorize some small skills.
