Chongzhen's visit to the garden on this day is in a trance. Fortunately, Chen Hongmi's report was also made before he should have reported, and there were no important arrangements for this day, but there was no delay.

It is not clear to outsiders what happened that night, but the next morning, it was Chongzhen who was served by Wang Chengen to wash, and no one else had seen Jin'er throughout the day, and Chongzhen did not leave the Houya.

For two whole days, Chongzhen was not summoned, Chen Hongmi did not bother, he was also present with Jin'er's entry into the house, and he did not bully men and women, of course he would not have much to do.

However, Wu Weiye has returned, everything is fine at home, so he didn't stay at home for long, after all, he came with the emperor, and when the emperor wanted to use him, he couldn't find him to have fun. When he came back, he only stayed in the back office under Wang Chengen's arrangement, and there was no major event, and he didn't bother Chongzhen.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Hongmi had to disturb Chongzhen, and the news from Beijing came.

When Chongzhen was called, he was not dissatisfied, and he himself felt that it was time to get up. Before, he only delayed for two days on the pretext that there was no important matter, but now that the important thing is coming, he has reverted to the diligent Chongzhen.

There were only four people in the house, Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, Chen Hongmi, and Wu Weiye, whether it was Jinyiwei or Jin'er, naturally they didn't have the opportunity to listen in the house.

Wu Weiye read the news from Beijing, that is, hail suddenly fell several times in the whole territory of Shanxi, and it is not uncommon for people to have large heads, and the largest one is the size of the grinding plate, and no bigger one has been found, but there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger. The specific time and place of hail is also clearly marked.

Although the four of them all believed that since Hua Xue swore by it, it would not be true, but when the prediction was really confirmed, they still felt inexplicably shocked.

The four of them were silent for a while before Chongzhen asked, "Do the two Qing families think that it is possible for him to get the news in advance?" ”

Hua Xue was recommended by Chen Hongmi, and Chen Hongmi was not good at expressing his opinion first, so he looked at Wu Weiye and motioned for him to speak first.

Wu Weiye replied categorically: "Back to Your Majesty, it is completely impossible." When the news of the hailstorm in Shanxi was sent to the capital, it was still after Hua Xue made a prediction. There is no reason why Hua Xue will get the news earlier than Shanxi. ”

Chongzhen turned his head to look at Chen Hongmi, and Chen Hongmian said: "The minister has already checked, and until yesterday, there were no rumors of hailstorms in Shanxi on the street. Even if Hua Xue had a special source of information, from the perspective of time, the news he got before making the prediction could only be the first one or two hailstorms at most. At that time, the largest hailstone was only the size of a fist, far from the level of attracting attention. Even if he had received the news in advance, his prediction of the size of the hailstone would have been too alarming. ”

Chongzhen nodded: "Although there is no hail bigger than a person as mentioned in the news, there is already a grinding disc that is bigger, and there is a tendency to continue to get bigger, so it can already be considered that his prediction is accurate." Then his even more frightening predictions about natural disasters in the coming years are more likely to be true. ”

After a pause, Chongzhen sighed: "I originally thought that the manuscript sent by Chen Zilong would arrive first, but I didn't expect that the news from the capital would arrive first. ”

Chen Hongmi explained on the side: "From Suzhou to Songjiang, go down the river, and travel lightly, two days is enough. But firstly, Master Chen should have to sort it out, and secondly, the manuscript is a heavy object after all, and the return trip is countercurrent, which is troublesome regardless of land and water. I'm afraid the trip will be doubled. If it's fast, it'll be there by tonight. If it's slow, it shouldn't be later than tomorrow. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow evening, the minister will send someone to greet him. ”

Chongzhen nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not that I'm slow, but the news from the capital came too fast. ”

Everyone is at a loss, the news comes quickly and shows that the efficiency is high, shouldn't this be a sigh?

Or did Wang Chengen understand Chongzhen and interjected: "Your Majesty thinks that the news came quickly because the natural disaster broke out too early?" ”

Chongzhen nodded.

The three of them suddenly realized that what Chongzhen hoped for most was, of course, that Hua Xue's prediction was wrong, and even if the prediction was correct, it didn't come to confirm it every other day, didn't it mean that the disaster happened one day later? The later the disaster occurred, the more time was left for the imperial court to respond.

Chongzhen said to Chen Hongmi: "You send someone to invite Mr. Xiao first, since the prediction has been confirmed, you must let him know." ”

Chen Hongmiao took the order and left.

Hua Xue still practiced with Chen Yuan in the morning in the past two days, and went to the pear orchard with Chen Yuan to say goodbye to the class owner.

After that, Chen Yuan listened to Dong Bai's class, the class leader listened on the side, and Hua Xue did not have much contact with Dong Bai, and tried to practice martial arts in a place where Dong Bai and Dong Bai did not look at each other. For a few days, Hua Xue and Dong Bai have not exchanged a word. It made Chen Yuan very satisfied and relieved.

Lunch was provided by Liyuan, Dong Bai was embarrassed to make a move, Hua Xue only didn't know what to do, and he had no reason to explain how he would know Dong Bai's cooking skills.

When she returned to Peach Blossom Nunnery in the evening, Hua Xue didn't teach Chen Yuan anything else, but she just taught Chen Yuan mathematics.

Chen Yuan asked the reason, Hua Xue did not hide it, and explained: "There was no urgent matter before, it doesn't matter what my sister learns first and then what she learns. At this time, there is an opportunity to use mathematics. ”

Chen Yuan was puzzled: "What chance?" ”

"The suggestion I told my sister earlier was to call for women workers in the name of the weaving mill. Now that Dongjia Embroidery Village encounters problems, we help solve it, and directly use the name of Dongjia Embroidery Village, isn't it more convenient than building a weaving workshop by yourself? Moreover, Dongjia Xiuzhuang is a time-honored brand of more than 100 years, with a good reputation, and it is much easier to recruit people. ”

Chen Yuan groaned slightly and asked, "Do you want to subdue Dong Bai?" ”

Hua Xue shook her head: "Of course it's not me, it's my sister who goes!" Dong Bai's talent is so high, and it is the time to be in trouble. As long as my sister helps her solve the problem, she is still grateful? Although there is a suspicion of Shien, but throughout the ages, his subordinates have done this. ”

Chen Yuan was puzzled: "How can I solve it?" ”

Hua Xue said: "It's just math!" Speaking of the problems encountered by Dongjia Xiuzhuang, the original reason was that the accounts were falsified, and the good income turned into debts. The problem of accounts is, in the final analysis, a mathematical problem. As long as you understand the mathematics I have taught you, with the means by which they do the accounting, there will be nothing to hide in front of you. ”

"There's a problem with the accounts, can't others see it?"

"Those who specialize in the art industry and accumulate years of accounting, naturally have their own set of cheating methods, and they are not insiders, so they basically can't understand it. If you ask your mother to invite a powerful account room, you may not be able to find the problem. But firstly, it is impossible to show my sister's means, and secondly, it is not safe to find out in the end, once you startle the snake, it will be troublesome. And the mathematics I teach you includes a subject called accounting, which is used to settle accounts, and is many realms higher than their means. As long as my sister learns it, it will be foolproof to check the accounts later. ”
