The two of them frolicked for a while, but it was unprecedented relief and happiness, the eldest lady's wish was fulfilled, so she let him take the little hand and walk back, anyway, it was dark and the wind was high, and no one could see clearly. Looking at the sweet smile of the eldest lady, Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, Lao Tzu still has to experience this love scene, if he misses Yuruo, it is really a lifelong regret.

When I returned to the house, Sister-in-law Song and the others were waiting anxiously, and the eldest lady's face was slightly red and a little embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone didn't know what was going on, not to mention that there was no such thing as the current person blaming the master, and this matter was easily covered up.

Sister-in-law Song saw that the eldest lady was half-wet, and said distressedly: "Eldest lady, go take a bath and change clothes, it's cold outside, don't get caught in the cold." ”

The eldest lady snorted, glanced at Lin San, and said lightly, "You also go and wash." ”

"Wash together-" Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, Lin Wanrong made a lip sync, and the eldest lady glanced at him with slight annoyance, and quickly went away with a flushed face.

Of course, it can only be a joke, there are maids in the eldest lady's house, and he can't go in and take care of their master and servant. The eldest lady has just recovered from her mood, so he naturally has to temporarily restrain herself for a few days, and he can't let her fall into the wrong position anymore.

In the next two days, Lin Wanrong really put away the wolf's tail, prepared some things for the flower viewing party with the eldest lady every day, came up with ideas, told jokes, hugged and kissed by the way, and was happy for a while. An Biru has not appeared since that night, Lin Wanrong is worried about Xian'er, but thinking about the close relationship between their master and apprentice, she is no longer worried.

Although the days were happy, he missed Qiaoqiao more and more in his heart, and the Luo Cai girl who was far away in Jining, Qing Xuan's matter naturally became his heart disease, pressing on his heart like a stone. If Qing Xuan is really the princess of Dahua, if you want to see her, you can only go to the palace. But how can I enter the palace?

remembered the joke he said when he was separated from Qing Xuan, if he couldn't find her, he posted her portrait everywhere in Beijing, although it was a joke, but it was not so useless. He took advantage of his leisure time to recall Qing Xuan's appearance, put pen to paper, and vividly engraved the woman he missed day and night on paper.

This morning, everything was almost ready. The eldest lady ordered Sister-in-law Song to take out the recent account book and transcribe it for verification, and then the eldest lady would personally calculate the income.

Xiao Yuruo has been grinding with his ears and temples for the past few days, kissing and touching, he has already been as deep as the sea, seeing his yawning appearance, thinking about his diligent work as if he had changed his temperament these days, and knowing that he doesn't like to work with a pen, he said softly: "Aren't you going to visit Mr. Xu?" After today's busy day, we will go to Xufu tomorrow to visit. Speaking of which, it is rude to go to Beijing these days without going to see Mr. Xu. ”

Lin Wanrong nodded, seeing that Yuruo was thinking about himself like this, he was embarrassed to wander around, so he came to the eldest lady to watch her keep accounts. I saw the eldest lady raising her wrist slightly, and the little one was like the wind, and she was writing down the accounts little by little, and then accounting. I don't know if I don't see it, but after a few glances, Lin Wanrong's brows furrowed.

It turns out that the "chips" used in store bookkeeping are not only troublesome to count, but also more complicated to calculate. Seeing Xiao Yuruo's tender little hands constantly copying and transcribing, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but shake her head, if you continue to count like this, what year and month will it be, not to mention anything else, even if the eldest lady's little hands continue to be tortured like this, then it will definitely not be able to stand it!

He sighed and said, "Miss, is that how you calculated?" ”

Xiao Yuruo said charmingly: "Yes, since the ancestors, it has always been calculated in this way, is there anything wrong?" You're a man who likes to make a fuss. ”

Lin Wanrong picked up a pen and wrote a crooked "○" character on the paper, and asked: "This number, eldest lady, do you know it?" ”

Yuruo shook her head and said, "What is this?" How strange is that! ”

Lin Wanrong threw the pen and sighed, it seems that the Arabic numerals have not been passed over. He had a wealth of mathematical knowledge in his previous life, and naturally knew that Arabic numerals were introduced to China around the 14th century, but due to the existence of "chips" counting, Arabic numerals have not been popularized in time until 500 years later, Arabic numerals began to be promoted in China, 600 years later than Europe.

Damn, 600 years, it is in these 600 years that Chinese science and technology lag far behind Europe, will it have something to do with this counting method? That's the basics!

He paced back and forth a few steps, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and there was no doubt that Arabic numerals and various arithmetic rules built on this basis were more concise and effective to use, which was self-evident to the progress of science and technology in the whole society.

He clapped his hands violently,, Lao Tzu will do this Arabic numerals, simple and effective, these basic sciences are much more useful than those techniques for making gunpowder and cannons that fly out of thin air. I believe that with the wisdom of the Chinese people, with this simple and effective calculation method, it is not a dream to catch up with and surpass Europe.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, snatched the pen from Xiao Yuruo's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't be busy yet, I'll teach you a simple and effective counting method, which is guaranteed to be much more affordable than yours." ”

He took a pen and wrote down ten Arabic numerals and four operation symbols, and explained the meaning to the eldest lady one by one, Xiao Yuruo is in business, and he is naturally sensitive to this number, and after listening to it for a while, he suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Where did you learn these things, it seems to be a lot simpler." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, but if you promise to let me kiss it, it will be okay for me to leak it." ”

Xiao Yuruo glanced at him and said shyly: "If I talk to you for a few words, I won't be serious again." If you want to kiss, go to the fox surnamed An. ”

Khan, this girl is addicted to holding grudges, his face is no longer ordinary thick, hehe laughed twice and was about to make the overlord bow hard, but he saw Huan'er running in with a blushing face and said: "Eldest Miss, Third Brother, Lord Xu Wei, the head of the household, is visiting with his wife and young lady." ”

Damn, I was thinking about visiting Lao Xu, but I didn't expect this old man to come first, and he brought Mrs. and Miss. Mrs. is Su Qinglian, isn't that Miss Xu Zhiqing? Didn't this chick visit me, Lao Tzu is now in the abstinence period, and it is difficult to fulfill his old promises.

He was thinking with a sad face, and the eldest lady over there had already said happily: "Hurry up, please!" ”

As he spoke, there was a burst of laughter outside the door: "Miss Xiao, Brother Lin, the old man came uninvited, don't be surprised." Three people walked in turn outside the door, and the leader had a thin face and strong spirits, it was Xu Wei, the first bachelor in the world. Next to him was the white-haired and red-faced Hangzhou celebrity Su Qinglian, and behind him was the extraordinarily knowledgeable Miss Xu Zhiqing.

The eldest lady had already gotten up and stepped forward, saluting respectfully: "The little girl Xiao Yuruo pays a visit to Lord Xu, Mrs. and Miss. ”

Xu Wei laughed and helped her up and said, "How can the eldest lady be polite, in the past in Jinling, the old man was still taken care of by Miss Guo." ”

Su Qinglian used to be in Hangzhou because of these two people as matchmakers, so she was naturally grateful, and said with a smile: "What Xianggong said is very true, Xianggong and I can have today, it is all given by Lin Gongzi and the eldest lady, and Qinglian is unforgettable." ”

Xu Zhiqing grabbed Xiao Yuruo and said, "Is this the sister of the Xiao family?" Sure enough, I was born beautiful and dignified, and I had a lot of appearances, and I had long wanted to talk to my sister, but I only had free time today, and I hope my sister will not blame me. ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Where did my sister say it?" When Yu Ruo first arrived in the capital, he should have visited Lord Xu and his sister first, but he was busy with affairs recently, and he was preparing to visit the house tomorrow, but he didn't expect to ask Lord Xu to take the lead, and I was really ashamed to be a junior. ”

Lin Wanrong listened to them drop the bookbag in a crepe, the boss was not used to it, and hugged his fists with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Sister Su, how are you? Miss Xu, how are you! ”

Xu Zhiqing continued to talk to Xiao Yuruo as if she hadn't heard his words, since she entered the house, she hadn't looked at Lin Wanrong for a while, which made Lin someone complain for a while, damn, the pistol that day was a waste of ammunition.

These two women, Xu Zhiqing is five or six years older, they are both beautiful and intelligent people, and after saying a few words, their sisters and sisters called them affectionately. Lin Wanrong shook her head when she heard this, the friendship of women really came cheaply.

He turned his head to look at Su Qinglian, and said with a smile: "Sister Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are getting younger and more beautiful, I think it must be the credit of Lord Xu's moisturizing and irrigation, I congratulate you two here, then when will Xie Matchmaker invite me to drink?" Ha ha! ”

He is the big matchmaker of Xu Su and the others, and he is so familiar with each other, it is okay to make some jokes, but the two young ladies who are talking over there are red-faced and shameless when they hear it.

Su Qinglian is a person who has rolled in the red dust, listening to him talk half meat and half vegetarian, she couldn't help but blush, and said shyly: "Lin Gongzi Hugh is going to make fun of me." Qing Lian can have today, all of them are given by the son, and today I specially came to thank the media. ”

Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled beside him, and echoed: "That's right." Brother Lin is our great benefactor! ”

Old man Xu's complexion is much better than that of Jinling, it seems that Sister Su is also a wonderful person who raises people, he laughed dirtily twice, pulled Xu Wei and whispered: "Mr. Xu, it doesn't hurt to eat Xie Wenjiu later, but there is one thing I want to ask you to help with." ”

Xu Weiqi said: "It's rare to be able to ask Brother Lin to ask for help, you can tell me and listen to it, as long as Xu can do it, he will obey his fate." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled, gritted her teeth and said, "I want to enter the palace!" ”
