Chapter 128: Sacrifice to feed the tiger

Xiahou Mao gave up his foot bath bucket, changed a bucket of water, respectfully took off the princess's shoes and socks, and put her feet into the hot water. He sat in Wei Ba's position and sat face to face with the princess with a smile on his face. "How, princess?"

Han people sit on their knees, regardless of whether they are used to it or not, sitting down on this day, the soreness of the legs is inevitable. Women like to wear clogs, and the soles of their feet don't feel much better. Now sitting on the high-legged chair newly designed by Wei Ba, with his feet in the hot water, not to mention that there is a faint medicinal fragrance wafting up, refreshing his heart and spleen, even if there is only hot water soaking, the pores are opened, and the soreness of the legs and feet becomes relaxed, which is enough to make Princess Qinghe feel comfortable and want to moan, where can she take care of Xiahou Mao.

Xiahou Mao's beautiful concubines are frightened these days, and they can't even sleep well, even if they are called by Princess Qinghe one day to cut off their heads, and now they have the opportunity to get close to Princess Qinghe, and it is possible to save their lives, for them, this is simply a godsend. Not to mention pinching Princess Qinghe's feet, even if they were asked to lick with their tongues, they would do it.

So although they are beginners, they do it very carefully, and when Princess Qinghe's legs and feet are soaked, they hold Princess Qinghe's feet in their arms and pinch them one by one, which is several times more attentive than waiting for Xiahou Mao. Pinched to the painful place, Princess Qinghe finally couldn't help but hum, leaned back on the back of the chair, and if it wasn't for grabbing the armrests with both hands, she almost slipped off the chair.

Seeing Princess Qinghe enjoying it so much, Xiahou Mao breathed a sigh of relief, this level is basically over. When he thought that Wei Ba had solved such a big problem for him, his heart blossomed.

Talent, this is the real talent, what kind of ability is the ability to fight, and the person who can settle the leader's housework is the real talent.

At this moment, Wei Ba was discussing the circumcision technique with Xiahou Hui next door. I didn't hear Xiahou Mao's heart. However, he could hear the moans of Princess Qinghe when she was refreshed to her heart, and he knew that the big thing had been decided, and his heart was happy. The explanation of circumcision is also more comfortable.

Xiahou Hui sat in the inner room, and he sat in the outer room, with a lacquered screen in the middle, and the two were less than a step apart. But they can't see each other, they can only hear each other's voices. The paper full of drawings was passed from Peng Xiaoyu to Peng Xiaoyu, and there were some superficial truths. It was also explained directly by Peng Xiaoyu.

Circumcision is actually not complicated, but the calculation is very complicated, each step needs to be recalculated, and it involves square opening, so the calculation time is particularly large. Wei Ba spent most of his time sitting on the sidelines, listening to Xiahou Hui and Peng Xiaoyu discuss the steps of the calculation in a low voice.

Xiahou Hui is very smart, but her knowledge of arithmetic is very limited. Therefore, before Wei Ba talked about circumcision, he had to explain to her the Pythagorean theorem and the algorithm of squared and squared. The conclusion of hooking three strands, four strings and five is not complicated, as long as those who have studied "Chapter Nine" generally understand this algorithm, but how to prove this algorithm. But it's a problem. In fact, it was only during the Three Kingdoms period that ancient Chinese mathematicians began to try to prove the Pythagorean theorem.

Knowledge needs to be accumulated, and no matter how smart Xiahou Hui is, his accumulation in this regard cannot be compared with Wei Ba. The algorithm that is very simple in Wei Ba's opinion is magical in Xiahou Hui's opinion, especially the string diagram that proves the Pythagorean theorem, which is simply an excellent embodiment of the simplicity of the avenue, which makes Xiahou Hui breathtaking.

After a long thought, Xiahou Hui came from behind the screen with a voice of admiration: "Wei Jun is arithmetic and stands alone in the world." ”

Wei Ba laughed softly: "Arithmetic is the foundation of all learning, and it is a weapon for studying the nature of heaven and earth. ”

Xiahou Hui frowned slightly: "Wei Jun, why do you have such an opinion, isn't the foundation of the world's learning a sage classic?" ”

"I beg your pardon." Wei overbearing: "The scripture is easy to lead, and easy to take the hexagram first." There are hexagrams, the saints use elephants to make instruments, the hexagrams have numbers, and the saints count the world by numbers. Among the other knowledge, which one can be more brilliant than Dayi? In terms of Yi, today's Yi Chuan is just the experience of the master reading Yi, which can only be said to be the words of the master's family, and how can it represent the big easy itself? ”

Xiahou Hui chuckled: "I don't want Wei Jun to even disapprove of the master." ”

Wei Ba shook his head and said very calmly: "Dare to ask the girl, have you ever heard the story of the blind man touching the elephant?" ”

The story of the blind man touching the elephant came from India, Xiahou Hui had never heard of it at all, and when he saw Wei Ba suddenly switch from arithmetic to storytelling, although he felt a little puzzled, he was still interested. "I've never heard of it, and I still ask for advice."

Wei Ba coughed and told the story of the blind man touching the elephant, zuihou said: "At the beginning, the Yin and Yang families of Confucianism and Taoism rose together, each with its own corner of the avenue, and they all thought that what they mastered was the real avenue, and others were all talking nonsense and opening their mouths, just like these blind people who touched the elephant. If we could bring together hundreds of schools of thought and discuss with each other, we would have a chance to come up with the truth about elephants. It's a pity that they insist on their own words, and they don't give in to each other, and they can't get the real way. ”

"Then what Wei Jun means is that only through arithmetic can you realize the true avenue?"

"Yes, the right and wrong of the scriptures vary from person to person, and there is no way to be sure. However, arithmetic is not, anyone can verify it, right and wrong are clear at a glance, and there will be no disagreement. Only the answer that everyone can agree with is the real and credible answer, and only then can we separate the false and retain the truth, and gradually discover the truth of the avenue. ”

"Wei Jun is very insightful, very unusual. It's no wonder that you have such insight at such a young age, and even the maidservants around you are so skilled in arithmetic, which is really impressive. ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly, he knew that Xiahou Hui's words sounded very polite, but he was actually a little unimpressed. But he didn't care, and he didn't plan to make a name for himself with these arithmetic. Since Xiahou Hui mentioned Peng Xiaoyu, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Miss Xiahou, although Xiaoyu is a maidservant, she is not an ordinary person. She is a member of the Peng family of Guanghan, her father is Peng Yi Peng Yongnian, and her brother is now a capable general under the command of the hussar general. I got to where I am today because of her brother's handiwork. ”

Although his voice was not very loud, it was enough for Xiahou Mao next door to hear it. Xiahou Mao, who was currying favor with Princess Qinghe, heard this, and his face suddenly sank, and he was speechless for a while. Even Princess Qinghe, who had her eyes closed and wanted to hum, sensed his unhappiness and suddenly opened her eyes.

Xiahou Hui was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt a little excited. She didn't want Xiahou Mao and Princess Qinghe to hear her uneasiness, so she covered it up and said, "In that case, how can you let her stay by your side?" The reason why your jade fell into Zhuge Qiao's hands seems to be her credit, right? ”

"Yes." Wei Ba said lightly: "But I believe that she must not have known that her brother was trying to frame me at that time. It is understandable that a man who had always thought he was an orphan suddenly lost his vigilance in joy when he saw his brother. Therefore, I don't hate her, but I only hate her brother, because she is just being used, not really trying to harm me. Just as someone kills with a knife, we should hate that person, not the knife. Girl, do you think that's the truth? ”

Xiahou Hui was distracted for a while, and did not respond to Wei Ba's words. She thought of herself from Peng Xiaoyu, Wei Ba didn't blame Peng Xiaoyu for being used by her brother Peng Heng, so in the future, can her husband Sima Shi forgive her so generously?

Wei Ba didn't hear the echo from the other side, which was a little strange. He glanced at Peng Xiaoyu with an inquiring gaze. Peng Xiaoyu squeezed her eyes and didn't speak. I don't know if she is grateful for Wei Ba's tolerance, or if she wants Wei Ba to be at ease.

Next door, Xiahou Mao grimaced and slowly clenched his fists. He had a different view on Peng Xiaoyu's affairs. Peng Heng despised him in front and left Peng Xiaoyu by Wei Ba's side in the back, with sinister intentions, did he know that he left an eye and ear by Wei Ba's side? In the past, Wei Ba was a descendant, without freedom, it was like house arrest, and he would not have any secrets. But now it's different, Wei Ba was appointed by the imperial court as a general of Fengyi, and he listened to orders under his account, and he was his subordinate in the future, and Sima Yi's people planted eyes and ears around Wei Ba, what does this mean? Does he want to mess with Guanzhong?

He wanted to reuse Wei Ba and envelop Wei Ba with kindness, but he was worried that Wei Ba's status as a descendant would bring danger to him. If he didn't reuse it, he was worried that Wei Ba would be disappointed in him, and one day he would switch to Sima Yi. not only lost a talent, but also allowed Sima Yi to succeed, which is not good-looking in terms of face.

Princess Qinghe saw Xiahou Mao's embarrassment, she leaned over and put her hand on Xiahou Mao's fist: "Husband, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Xiahou Mao grinned and nodded silently.

"Why don't you tell me about it, maybe I can help you." Princess Qinghe is in a good mood at the moment, firstly, she enjoys the pedicure comfortably, and there is a rare physical comfort, and secondly, she sees these delicate little beauties kneeling in front of her, serving herself like slaves, and her psychological satisfaction is even more indescribable. So much so that his voice became much softer.

Hearing Princess Qinghe's rare such gentle words, Xiahou Mao's heart fluttered, but as soon as he saw Princess Qinghe's old face, his mind that had just been fluttered immediately calmed down. He almost broke Princess Qinghe's hand, but when he thought of Wei Ba's words that reminded him, he forced himself to laugh again, and deliberately made a thoughtful look, squeezing his eyes at Princess Qinghe: "Princess, let's go back to the room." ”

Princess Qinghe suddenly understood what Xiahou Mao meant, and suddenly became a little shy, but she didn't know that seeing her twisted appearance, Xiahou Mao almost threw up. But looking at the pitiful eyes of those little beauties, he became strong again.

In order to let these little beauties escape from the clutches of this old woman, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell. There is a Buddha in the West who said, feed the tiger with the body, and become a Buddha in the flesh, so I will give up this body of meat today and feed this tigress.
