Chapter 21: Spring Outing (3)
When Tian Fan heard this, he immediately fell in love with Ni Qiu and asked him, "Ni Qiu, are you good at mathematics?" ”
Ni Qiu rolled his eyelids and said uncontrollably: "I understand a little!" ”
Tian Fan was happy when he heard it, why is this line so familiar? He asked, "How about I test you?" ”
Ni Qiu said: "I'm not interested! ”
Tian Fan was even happier, shouting, this kid is really quite personal, he said: "Isn't it that you don't know how to do math at all, your master is lying to me?" ”
Ni Qiu said: "I know you're using the Agitation Method!" You say I'm okay if I don't have the ability, but you can't say that my master is a liar! I accept your challenge, but if I win, you have to apologize to my master! ”
Tian Fan smiled, and was just about to speak, Gan Lin was angry, and he roared: "Evil animal! How dare you be unreasonable to Tian Gongzi? Don't apologize to Tian Gongzi yet? To be honest, Gan Lin's anger at this time was pretended, he heard that his family, a little guy who didn't deal with him well, was so protective of himself, and it was too late to be happy, so he would be really angry? It's just because of Tian Fan's face that he said so.
Tian Fan said: "Uncle, it's okay! Young people, you have a normal temper! After speaking, he said to Ni Qiu: "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Ni Qiu shrugged indifferently, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of please. Tian Fan nodded and said, "One plus two, plus three, plus five, all the way to one hundred, what is it?" Ni Qiu didn't blink his eyelids, and as soon as Tian Fan's voice fell, he replied: "Five thousand and fifty!" ”
"One plus three, plus five, all the way to ninety-nine!" "Two thousand five hundred!"
"Sixteen twos multiplied, what is the result?" "Two hundred and fifty-six!"
"Thirty-two twos multiplied!" This time, Ni Qiu obviously thought for a small array before replying, "Sixty-five thousand five hundred and thirty-six!" ”
"The number you just said, multiply the two! Well, that's sixty-four twos multiplied. Ni Qiu was stunned, he pondered for a while, and then replied uncertainly: "Four two nine four nine six seven two ninety-six!" ”
Tian Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "One last question!" Sixty-four grids, the first grid for one grain of wheat, the second grid for two, the third grid for four, the fourth grid for eight, and so on. ”
This time, Ni Qiu didn't look relaxed at all, he was sweating profusely, and finally lowered his head helplessly and admitted defeat! But he was not convinced, he protested and asked, "I don't know! But, you know what? ”
Tian Fan smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, the last number you said, minus one, is the answer!" Seeing him looking at himself suspiciously, Tian Fan said, "You can do the math yourself!" When you go to the yard, you can draw a picture on the ground, calculate the result, and then ask me if I'm right! ”
After hearing this, Ni Qiu didn't say hello, got up and went out. Tian Fan and Gan Lin smiled at each other, Tian Fan said: "Uncle, I have a reluctant request, although I am presumptuous, but I hope that Uncle can agree!" Where, it will be rewarded! ”
After hearing this, Gan Lin waved his hand again and again, and said: "Boguang, if you have something, just say it, you don't have to be like this!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Uncle, I see that Ni Qiu is very talented in mathematics, and I want to bring him to serve in the army!" He really thinks so, Mi Zhu has been complaining to him recently, saying that there are too many things to do, and he can't be busy. On the one hand, Liu Bei's career is in its infancy, and there are indeed a lot of things, on the other hand, the scale of the wine industry partnered by Tian Jiami's family is constantly expanding, and there are more and more things that require him to take ideas! Fortunately, Mi Zhen and his wife are at home, although they can't take big ideas, they can still decide small things. Tian Fan has been looking for a person who is proficient in mathematics recently, to be Mi Zhu's assistant, on the one hand, he can share part of the work for Mi Zhu, on the other hand, we never have too many talents! …,
Gan Lin was stunned after hearing this, and then he puffed up his teeth, and he said with some embarrassment: "Boguang, I won't tell you, I like this kid very much, although he has a bad temper with me!" Seeing that Tian Fan was about to interject, he waved his hand and said, "Boguang, don't interject!" He follows you and has a great future, which is good for him and for me! It's okay to let him follow you, but you must promise me to take good care of him! This kid has a stubborn temper and is easy to offend people, you must help me take care of him! Boguang, you may agree? ”
Tian Fan looked at Gan Lin's somewhat apprehensive expression, thought about it seriously, and said: "Uncle, although I have a certain status in the heart of the lord, there are some things I can't guarantee to you, what I can guarantee is not to let him go to the battlefield!" But even if you don't go to the battlefield, there will be danger! In this world, as long as you do things, you will definitely offend some people, if you don't want to offend people, then you can't do anything! The words came out again, even if you don't do anything, you may sit at home behind closed doors, and disaster will come from heaven! Especially in this troubled world, anything can happen, all I can do is try to help him avoid accidents! That's all! Uncle, look at ......" After speaking, Tian Fan waited for Gan Lin's response.
Gan Lin bowed his head slightly and said, "What Boguang said is reasonable! I can't decide this matter, let Ni Qiu decide! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ni Qiu came through the door. This kid walked quickly in front of Tian Fan, looked at Tian Fan with some unwillingness, gritted his teeth, gave a deep salute, and said, "Mr. is right!" Autumn, admire! ”
Tian Fan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Ni Qiu, you don't have to be like this!" Oh yes, do you have any words? It's a little inconvenient to call you by name. ”
Ni Qiu replied respectfully: "Back to Mr. Hui's words, Qiu has words!" Because autumn was born on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the word for autumn is mid-autumn! ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Well, Zhongqiu, do you still have a family?" ”
Ni Qiu's mood was obviously depressed, and he replied in a low voice: "Mr. Hui, Qiu has no family!" In the previous years of war, the whole family was scattered, and only my brother remained. During the locust plague last year, my brother and I fled to Pei County, and on the way, my brother starved to death! ”
Gan Lin asked: "Ni Qiu, well, Zhongqiu, Tian Gongzi wants you to follow him to serve under Liu Envoyjun, what do you think?" ”
Ni Qiu looked at Tian Fan puzzled, Tian Fan said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, Tian Fan, the word Boguang, the person under Pi, now Liu Yuanjun is the next captain of the craftsman!" Ni Qiu looked at Tian Fan in shock, he had heard of Tian Fan, and he had heard that he was young, but he didn't expect him to be so young!
Hurriedly took a step back, bowed deeply to Tian Fan, and said, "Ni Qiu has seen Tian Junshi!" Although Tian Fan is no longer Liu Bei's military division, the folk still call him "Tian Junshi" or "Mr. Tian", and the craftsman lieutenant he is now serving is said to be a military position, but except for more than 300 people in his military camp, no one calls him "General Tian".
Tian Fan hurriedly pulled him up again and said, "Zhongqiu, you don't have to be like this!" Would you rather follow me to the army, or stay here? ”
Ni Qiu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly turned to Gan Lin, suddenly knelt down, and said, "Master! Qiu is willing to follow Mr. Tian, please allow him! ”
Gan Lin pulled him up and said, "Mid-autumn, I'm ...... There you go! Take care of yourself! ”
Tian Fan saw Gan Lin's reluctant appearance, and looked at the tears in the corners of Ni Qiu's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. These are two happy enemies, one speaks badly, and the other loves to answer, but once they are about to separate, both of them are a little reluctant. Ni Qiu is not an ignorant person, he knows that Gan Lin is his savior, but his personality determines that he will not have any overly affectionate actions. And although Gan Lin likes this little guy, he is an elder and a master, and he will not be too enthusiastic. Therefore, the two of them just stretched it like this, and it was only now that they really began to reveal their true feelings. …,
Tian Fan had an idea and said to Gan Lin: "Uncle, I see that you like Zhongqiu so much, and he is also reluctant to you, why don't you recognize him as a righteous son?" ”
When Gan Lin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked Ni Qiu with some trepidation: "Zhongqiu, are you willing?" ”
Ni Qiu took a step back, bowed to the shrine, and said "Father-in-law!" ”
Gan Lin's fair face was red with excitement, and he said again and again: "Okay, good! Qiu'er, hurry up! Haha, I can't imagine that I Gan Lin has no children in my life, but when I get old, I have two righteous sons! Hahaha, the old man is very relieved! Tian Fan had to say something like congratulations, and it could be seen that Gan Lin and Ni Qiu were very happy. Gan Lin said: "Go and find the young lady and let her meet your brother!" Tian Fan said: "Uncle Gan, your father and son will talk first, and I'll go find Miss Gan!" Gan Lin was also dizzy with joy, he didn't think about anything else at all, nodded and said, "Okay!" There's Lauber! ”
Tian Fan walked out quickly, came to the yard, and turned around, but he didn't see a few girls, not even a single person. Tian Fan couldn't help scratching his head, but when he turned his head, he saw Rhubarb running in from the door, and he suddenly had a strange thought. Walking to Rhubarb's side in a few steps, he smiled at it first, and said cautiously, "Dog...... Well, Brother Huang, may I ask, where is your young lady? Rhubarb rolled his eyes, whimpered, got up, and walked out the door. Tian Fan was also stupid, asking the dog for directions was completely a subconscious action, seeing that Rhubarb ignored him, Tian Fan was helpless, this mountain is so big, how can I find this?
Rhubarb walked to the door, but turned around and yelled at Tian Fan twice. When Tian Fan saw it, he pointed at himself puzzled and said, "Are you calling me?" Rhubarb made a ...... Anyway, the incomprehensible expression of human beings, Tian Fan guessed later - this girl is despising herself! Then, it ran to Tian Fan's side in a few steps, biting the corner of his clothes and retreating outward. At this moment, Tian Fan understood, and the emotional rhubarb understood what he meant, and hurriedly followed.
One man and one dog, led by a dog...... Why is it so awkward? Walking through the peach tree in front of the door, it didn't take long to find a few girls, as well as those people. One by one, they were all stunned, staring at something. Tian Fan walked into the crowd in a few steps and saw what they were looking at, so he ...... So Tian Fan also looked stupid!
It's Hui'er, it's definitely Hui'er! She stood on a big rock, smiling all over her face, smiling like a Mona Lisa, that kind of smile, giving people an indescribable feeling, like a spring breeze caressing the surface of a lake, and like a spring sun through the leaves, falling on your face, anyway, it is a very infectious smile. A pair of beautiful big eyes closed, arms outstretched, a small whistle in the mouth, blowing a strange rhythm! And she stood with her arms full...... All kinds of birds, big and small, no less than twenty! Even above her stood two birds. There were also many birds that had no place to stand, and they all circled around Hui'er. Tian Fan took a look, there were magpies, cuckoos, sparrows, hoopoes, and wagtails...... They live in peace, each standing in a different position, chattering non-stop!
Hui'er herself is beautiful, but today she is wearing a white skirt, standing in the wind, and the breeze blows the corners of her skirt, which itself has a sense of fluttering fairy. At this time, there were dozens of birds standing on her arms, which made her like a phoenix with a hundred birds and a phoenix! Tian Fan was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but take a few steps towards Hui'er curiously, but saw that those birds immediately closed their mouths, all of them were vicious, well, Tian Fan's appearance at these birds has not changed much, but the feeling in his heart is that they must be looking at themselves viciously!
Hui'er heard the birds stop chirping, stopped whistling, and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Tian Fan, who was about to walk to her side, she raised her arms slightly, and the birds chirped and flew up, and after circling around Hui'er, they flew away. And the little whistle in her mouth disappeared out of thin air, and she was rolled up by her tongue and disappeared. …,
Tian Fan looked at her, thinking about the shocking scene just now, and looked at Hui'er without saying anything, Hui'er stretched out her arms generously and said, "Hehe, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm rusty!" At this time, the other stunned people came back to their senses.
Xiao Liu'er walked to Hui'er's side in a few steps, took her hand and said, "Sister Hui'er, it's amazing, can you teach me?" ”
Hui'er looked at Xiao Liu'er and said with a smile: "Hehe, the master is top secret, you can't teach people casually!" Seeing Xiao Liu'er's face full of disappointment, she pulled Xiao Liu'er again and said, "But Xiao Liu'er is my good sister, but it's okay to teach you!" Xiao Liu'er giggled happily.
Seeing that Hui'er was only talking to Mi Zhen, Gan Youniang and a few girls, and didn't even look at herself, Tian Fan simply didn't ask, after these days of getting along, he had some understanding of Hui'er, and what she didn't want to say, she couldn't ask if she killed you!
Seeing that Tian Fan was no one to speak, Mi Zhen gently moved Lianbu to his side and asked, "Brother Tian Fan, why are you here?" Don't you want to talk to Uncle Gan? ”
Tian Fan patted his head, first despised his memory, turned to Gan Youniang and said, "Gan girl, your father asked me to come and look for you back!" ”
Gan Youniang asked, "Oh? Is my father looking for me? ”
"Oh, your father just recognized Ni Qiu as his righteous son, let you go and see this righteous brother!"
Gan Youniang nodded and said, "Thank you, Childe, please take care of yourself, Childe will take the first step!" After speaking, he took a few subordinates and left first. Tian Fan looked at Gan Youniang's back, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this girl is really powerful, she is not surprised when she encounters major events, and her psychological quality is very strong! With her face and complexion, it does give people a sense of awe-inspiring inviolability, well, a character...... If Tian Fan knew that this Gan Youniang was the biological mother of Queen Gan, the first lord of Shu Han and the later lord Adou, who was famous in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, maybe he wouldn't be so surprised!
Tian Fan was thinking about his thoughts, his sleeves were pulled, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Hui'er. Hui'er chuckled and said, "What are you looking at?" Sister Zhen'er isn't enough for you to see? Mi Zhen was a little embarrassed by what she said, and in anger, she reached out to tickle her, but Hui'er never thought that she would cause trouble by her mouth, and she was scratched by Mi Zhen, and her body immediately softened, and her face turned red. hurriedly bothered, "Sister forgive me, sister is talking nonsense!" Mi Zhen didn't let her go, and fought back: "What about me, you are also Tian Fan's brother's concubine!" Hui'er saw that Mi Zhen didn't spare her, so she hurriedly ran away, but Mi Zhen still didn't want to let her go, and chased after her. Only the silhouettes of their silver bells and their skirts remained in the peach orchard.
By the time Tian Fan took Tang Yi, Tang Er and Xiao Liu'er to Gan Lin's manor, Gan Youniang and Ni Qiu had already met each other, and the two were talking in Xingnong.
Tian Fan wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he couldn't bear the retention of Gan Lin and Ni Qiu, so he had to eat at Gan's house. After the meal, he made an appointment with Ni Qiu to meet, and Tian Fan took everyone to leave.
