Seventy-third Li Tai treats guests
readx;?ā That's impossible! It must be Wang Ba'er, who must have known the answer a long time ago! Wang Xinyi jumped out and shouted angrily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It's not that she's unhappy because she didn't get the Su rice cake, but that this concubine has been treated preferentially since she arrived at the Wang family, even herself, and this Wang Haoran has always ignored her own existence, so she has always looked at Wang Haoran unpleasantly.
"What are you laughing at? Did you already know the answer? Wang Xinyi saw Wang Haoran smiling and silent, and her anger became even greater.
"Yi'er go back and sit down, after tonight, you will be a year older again, why are you still so willful." Wang Honggui was a little displeased, but he was reluctant to accuse Wang Xinyi too much.
Wang Xinyi's mother, at the urging of Wang Fuchang, hurriedly persuaded Wang Xinyi to return to her seat.
After the Wang family's small activities were completed, Wang Honggui let the group of children go to play separately, originally he wanted to ask Wang Haoran for questions, but he didn't want this kid to slip away faster than anyone else.
Wang Haoran came to the courtyard, in addition to Xiaoyu and Wang Qihong, there was also Wang Qihong's sister Wang Yuning, she was married, but this year her mother-in-law asked her to go to Wang's house to keep the New Year.
"Haoran." At this time, Wang Shunquan's eldest son, Wang Jingxiu, ran over, and he was eighteen years old.
"Third brother, come and sit." Wang Haoran replied that because Wang Shunquan did things for Wang Furen, the two families were closer and had a better relationship.
"I want to ask you, when you guessed how many gum tooth dumplings there were just now, did you guess based on the number of other people's guesses?" Although he is a few years older than Wang Haoran, Wang Haoran has long been famous, and he admires it, so he speaks more politely.
"Why do you feel that way?" Wang Haoran was a little surprised.
"Some people will guess more and some people will guess less, if you take the average of the two, wouldn't it be closer to the real number? But what I still can't figure out is, how can you come up with such an accurate amount? Wang Jingxiu asked.
Wang Haoran was even more surprised, Wang Jingxiu could even think of this, he has always been dislike to communicate with people, but he didn't expect that he was still a talent! When did the Tang Dynasty become so talented? Wang Haoran has a serious talent hunger, especially after arriving in Puzhou, the shortage of manpower has become more and more prominent, making Chen Jun unable to specialize in the industry, sometimes doing this, sometimes doing that. So after discovering that Wang Jingxiu had such ideas, he started to solicit again. He replied, "It was calculated by this method, but it was only an accident that it was so accurate. However, there are many places where this method can be used, and for those things that cannot be investigated in detail, this method can be used to get an idea. ā
"I see, but with so many numbers to calculate, you can calculate it mentally without an abacus, but it's also amazing!" Wang Jingxiu praised.
"As long as you find the right method, this amount of calculation is also very simple." Wang Haoran naturally knew that Wang Jingxiu was referring to the part of calculating the average, and the division calculation in the Tang Dynasty was similar to the algorithm of later generations, but it was generally calculated with an abacus, which caused them a lot of trouble in mental arithmetic. For example, the algorithm of later generations is needless to say, and the Tang Dynasty will use 13 divided by 12 to equal 1, and the remaining 1 will be memorized, and then the remaining 1 will be divided by 12 with the following 2, and this will appear another picture, and so on, they need to remember that there are three pictures. Later generations only need to construct a division column in their minds, and it is much easier to remember one image than three.
"It makes sense." Wang Jingxiu replied casually, but his mind didn't know where to go.
"Third brother." Wang Haoran saw that Wang Jingxiu wanted to leave, and hurriedly said, "I am short of manpower in Puzhou, can you come over to help?" ā
"You're only here, so how can I help?" Wang Jingxiu said with a smile.
"Third brother, you are also a talent!" Wang Haoran always felt weird when he said this, if others said that he was a talent, it was estimated that he would scold, "I urgently need someone who is good at arithmetic, you like to do arithmetic so much, you will definitely help me a lot." ā
"You're so much better at arithmetic than I am, so why don't you need me?"
"I don't have that much time for this."
"But...... I still have to ask my father about this. Wang Jingxiu moved, but his father Wang Shunquan had other arrangements for him, and he was afraid that he would not be allowed to engage in the arithmetic industry he liked.
"Why don't I tell the second uncle?" Wang Haoran guessed Wang Jingxiu's intentions and difficulties. In his impression, Wang Shunquan is still very good at talking, but when it comes to his son's future, he may also be stubborn.
Wang Jingxiu thought for a while before replying, "I'll tell him myself." ā
"Okay, you discuss it with the second uncle first." Wang Jingxiu is honest and not good at speech skills, Wang Haoran wanted to teach him how to convince his father, think about it, forget it, Wang Jingxiu will definitely not lie to his father, so he had to fool Wang Jingxiu from the beginning, and continued, "A few days ago, the Arms Division developed a new weapon, and His Majesty ordered me to develop the accessories needed for that weapon, if I can't develop it, then I will be in big trouble." The people in my research team are not proficient in arithmetic, and I am very busy, so I can't stay in the research room all the time, third brother, you must convince the second uncle! With your help, this will be much easier. ā
"I'll try my best."
"Then I'll wait for your good news, and we will go to Puzhou together after the Lantern Festival."
Seeing Wang Jingxiu leaving, Wang Qihong also felt itchy and wanted to go to Puzhou, but he had to discuss this matter with his father first.
The Spring Festival in the early Tang Dynasty was not very lively, because in their opinion, the Spring Festival was the most important thing for a family reunion, and then there was the exchange between relatives. However, there are also some activities with a bit of atmosphere, among which there is an activity called burning firecrackers, which is not the kind of red paper bag**, but genuine bamboo, after being burned, it will crackle like firecrackers. There is also the "standing egg", this year's Lichun is just the third day of the new year, and there are many people who play. And the most strenuous and the most lively program is to visit the door, each family is at home to prepare sumptuous dishes to welcome the guests, and the guests sit down and nag for a while, and then they will go to other people's houses with the host, and they can eat several meals a day, the picture is lively.
If the Spring Festival is a festival among relatives, then the Lantern Festival is a public festival and the most lively day of the year.
That night, Wang Haoran was invited by Li Tai to listen to music in Dongshi, and Wang Haoran didn't think much about it, so he went. In addition to him, there were also Han King Li Yuanchang, Zhao Jie, Du He, and Cheng Chuliang.
During the banquet, Wang Haoran saw that Li Tai was always a little absent-minded, so he asked him what was wrong, but he was a little allergic, and hurriedly said that it was okay. Although Wang Haoran had doubts, he didn't want to ask too many questions.
Soon, a shopkeeper came to the private room and said that someone was looking for His Royal Highness King Yue, Li Tai didn't ask too much, and hurriedly walked out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's wrong with His Royal Highness King Yue today?" As soon as Li Tai left, Wang Haoran asked everyone.
"I don't know."
"What can His Royal Highness the dignified Yue Wang do? Come, let's drink ours. ā
The responses of King Han and Zhao Jie made Wang Haoran even more suspicious, and it seemed that it was impossible to find out what was going on from their mouths. But what is certain is that this matter has something to do with them, otherwise how could they cooperate to hide it from themselves? Also, who was looking for Li Tai just now, but Li Tai was not surprised at all, and he didn't let anyone in, but went out to meet that person himself? It was unlikely that Li Tai's haughty nature would have done this. So the person who came has a higher status than him? The Emperor, the Emperor, the Crown Prince? It's unlikely, so who else? Wang Haoran suddenly had a thrill, and one popped up in his mind - Princess Li Liushuang of Nanchang!
Yes, yes, yes! In order to peek at her husband who had never met before, the daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door invited Li Tai and King Han to help, so that the weirdness of these people could be understood. Wang Haoran was suddenly a little excited, and he was also very concerned about what Princess Nanchang looked like. However, he didn't expose the conspiracy of these people, anyway, if Princess Nanchang could see herself, then she would definitely be able to see her. It's just that he is in the light, his future wife is in the dark, and he doesn't know the specific location of the people, Wang Haoran is still a little worried that he will miss the opportunity. However, he saw that Li Tai had come back for a long time, so it seemed that Princess Nanchang was not in this building. So what will Li Tai arrange? Wang Haoran looked around and saw the observation deck in the private room, and his heart was already measured.
