Chapter 174: Reckoning

"The dossier from Gusu has been handed over to Dali Temple, and Wen Po is also there. I'll look it up. Zhao Yuanxun stood up, "Also, I'm going to ask why Wei Qiu was exiled and not beheaded." ”

The eldest lady nodded: "I have to ask." ”

She wasn't worried about that, though. If Mrs. Cen makes a move, he will inevitably not let Wei Qiu have a chance to turn the tables; Liu Chengde's grandson died at the hands of Wei Qiu, and he will definitely not let him go. Don't do something on the way to exile and let him die, don't be too easy.

"Li Mu and Wen Po, have you done everything right?" The eldest lady asked.

Zhao Yuanxun nodded: "Li Mu killed someone, he must die, Lord Liu is staring at it, no one dares to protect him." However, his wife and a pair of children, as well as Mama Li, were all sold after being reprimanded by the rod. The same is true of Wen Po. When the time comes, I will ask someone to sell them, and then treat their wounds, and let them go free after the injuries are healed, which can be regarded as fulfilling my promise. ”

The eldest lady said: "They are the knives in the hands of the Wei family, although it is the Wei family who killed people with knives, they are not completely innocent." But they helped us after all, and they said they were saving their lives. It's not a breach of trust to do so now. ”

She asked someone to go to the kitchen and bring a breakfast for Zhao Yuanxun to eat on the way, and watched him leave.

She hastily ate some snacks by herself and sat down at the table to settle the accounts.

Because she wants to split up, she has been collecting her property and checking the account books during this time.

Worried that Wei and Zhao Yuankun would find out, things were carried out secretly, so the process was very slow, and the accounts had not been settled until now.

Mama Zhou felt sorry for her hard work, and wanted to promote the mother-daughter relationship between her and Xu Xi, so she proposed: "It's better to invite the fifth girl to come and have a look." She should also study arithmetic in college, and she should be able to help you. Besides, the girl is fourteen, and it is time to learn to manage the account books. ”

"Really." The eldest lady smiled, raised her head and instructed Caidie, "Go and call the fifth girl." ”

Xu Xi heard Caidie say that the eldest lady wanted to ask her to settle accounts, so she came without saying a word.

The academy has to offer arithmetic courses, and the imperial examination has to be examined. It's just that the arithmetic master who was originally invited fell ill, and the academy vacated the class for other masters. When Mr. Arithmetic comes back from his illness, I will give him the class.

So to this day, she doesn't know what level of arithmetic in this world is.

However, Empress Shengyao's brilliance shines on Dajin, she should bring advanced arithmetic to this world, right?

But when she arrived at Longyu Courtyard and saw the account book of the eldest lady, she dispelled this idea.

There are no Arabic numerals, no advanced bookkeeping methods. It seems that the brilliance of Empress Shengyao did not shine into the realm of mathematics; Perhaps, people took photos, but the eldest lady Zhu didn't get this sunshine.

In her previous life, she played with computers well, but she couldn't play abacus.

"Mother, I know mental arithmetic, I don't know how to use arithmetic. I'll do the math and see if you're right. If that's right, I'll do some of the math for you, how about it? She said.

The eldest lady called her over, and didn't expect her to help. Just like Mama Zhou said, just let her come over and learn how to take care of the books.

"Okay, then you can do it." The eldest lady smiled.

"I won't bother you, I'll go over there." Xu Xi pointed to the corner next to him.

If it had been before, the eldest lady might not have been happy. But this is her own cub, it doesn't matter what you do, the eldest lady has an old mother's tolerant heart.

She said nonchalantly, "Go, go, go." ”

So a few subordinates helped Xu Xi move a table of eight immortals from the middle of the room to the corner, and put it away according to Xu Xi's request. I moved a few more ledgers and put them on the table. I made her tea and served her a plate of snacks.

Xu Xi sat down, with the wall behind him, the side facing the window, and the scenery outside the window was unique; The room is spacious, and it is a long distance from the eldest lady, and the privacy is excellent. As long as you don't let your subordinates disturb you, it doesn't matter what method Xu Xi uses to settle accounts.

After sending Qingfeng away, Xu Xi calculated the account book according to the eldest lady's request.

Because he wants to teach painting, Xu Xi has been locked up in Xinlan Courtyard for a while, and has nothing to do, except for practicing calligraphy every day and memorizing four books and five classics, which is to toss the brush.

This so-called paintbrush is to make the kitchen burn a large pile of charcoal strips with hard wood; Then they were told to cut small bamboo strips, cut them in half, sandwich them in the middle, and then wrap them tightly with strips of cloth, and the original pencil came into being.

Being an exploiting class has this advantage, moving your own mouth, and breaking your legs. Xu Xi didn't have to do it himself, Qingfeng, Dianjiang, and Yicui made one or two hundred of these simple pencils in a few days.

Xu Xi knew that he had to settle the account, so he brought the pencil.

Use a pencil on the paper to turn the uppercase Chinese numbers into Arabic numerals, and then list the equations. In a few minutes, a page of accounts is complete.

The eldest lady was working hard over there with an abacus, and before an account book could be calculated, Xu Xi shouted: "It's over." When she looked up, she took the five account books and put them in front of her eyes.

"You mean, you've done it all?" The eldest lady asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Xu Xi said, "There are eight mistakes. ”

"I'll see." The eldest lady finished counting her own page, wrote down a number on the side, and counted the place where Xu Xi had marked.

For fear of disturbing the mother and daughter to settle accounts, everyone waited outside, and Mama Zhou was the only one in the room who sat in the corner and was silent.

Seeing this scene, she craned her neck to look this way, as if she could see the accounts of the eldest lady clearly.

"Hey, that's wrong." The eldest lady checked the numbers she calculated with the original account book, and then looked at the numbers calculated by Xu Xi, and found that they were the same as Xu Xi's.

She looked up at Xu Xi in surprise, flipped to the second mistake, and counted it.

After calculating, she didn't know whether to relax or let out a sigh of regret, and said to Xu Xi: "I am different from yours in this place." "Well, it's not the same as in the original account books.

"Then you do it again." Xu Xi is very confident in himself.

She got a perfect score in math. If she didn't like to study design, her math teacher would have forced her to apply for the mathematics department of Tsinghua University when she was admitted to university.

The numbers are different from the original account book, of course, the eldest lady has to calculate it again. The first time she reported the numbers for the second time, her eyes widened - the same as Xu Xi's.

Now, she was already convinced. After counting all the eight mistakes, her eyes shining at Xu Xi shone brightly.

Parents wear heavy filters to their children. If it had been before, she would have had to ask Xu Xi how he calculated it.

But now, she didn't even have to ask. There is only one result of asking, and that is - my cub is smart.
