"There are nine pieces of gold and eleven pieces of silver, and the weight is moderate, and the transaction is one of them, and the light is thirteen taels, and the weight of gold and silver is great?

Liu Yong said that this is a question in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Arithmetic is one of the six arts, and it is a subject that must be learned in reading, but now there is no need to take the imperial examination, so it is not very valued.

Among these people present today, there are several like Zhuo Xiao who read to the princes and grandsons as companions, so they learn more comprehensively, but not everyone can learn arithmetic problems. Ordinary readers, if they do not hire a special arithmetic teacher, generally memorize the answers first, and then study the process of solving the problems slowly.

No matter what the level of other topics is, at least everyone can participate, and arithmetic problems can only be used as melon eaters.

Zhuo Ruoning had never memorized "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but she knew how to solve this difficulty before she went to school. She casually counted on the paper and wrote down the answers.

Liu Yong looked at her calculation with a disgusted face, and came to the result in three or two steps, so shocked that his jaw almost fell.

Geng Kan observed his reaction and hurriedly asked, "How is it, is Nian Nian's answer right?" ”

"Yes, she got it right." Zhuo Xiao looked incredulous, picked up her scratch paper and said while reading.

Geng Kan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a somewhat proud smile: "I said that she is very good at counting, that day in the gem shop, she said that she would count like this and that, and said that the boss was stupid." ”

Seeing that she showed her tricks one after another, everyone's attitude changed, Yu Fan was soft, and asked: "Zhuo Ruoning, are you deliberately playing with us, last time it was limericks, this time it was arithmetic, didn't you say that you haven't memorized "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"?" Why lie? ”

Zhuo Ruoning was inexplicably stunned by her, and defended: "This is common sense, a very simple math problem, do you still need to memorize the answer?" ”

Liu Yong looked at her with a complicated expression: "Miss Zhuo, this is not common sense, how did you solve it?" "If you don't memorize the answers, it will take at least half a day to calculate the results.

Zhuo Ruoning wanted to cry without tears, so she had to explain the problem-solving process to them, and silently complained about the basic education of this era in her heart. After finishing speaking, except for Zhuo Xiao and Liu Yong, everyone else couldn't understand it, and nodded blindly throughout the whole process.

Liu Yong took the draft of her explanation and pondered it repeatedly, as if opening a door to the mysterious world, and gave her a deep hand with his crossed hands, "I have been taught, Miss Zhuo is really smart and intelligent, this problem is solved wonderfully, Liu Yong admires." ”

Zhuo Ruoning hurriedly learned his return gift: "It's over, the thunderbolt ......"

"Don't worry, the thunderbolt will be sent to the house in a while. But that stone is very dangerous, Miss Zhuo must be careful. ”

"Yes, my second brother also has thunderbolts, and I know how to keep them."

Zhuo Ruoning was in the circle of the county lord and Xi Rong, and she was the object of condemnation, Yu Fanrou couldn't see Liu Yong's respectful appearance towards her, so she rolled her eyes and said: "I don't even know how to salute, and I don't know how the Zhuo family taught her." ”

Zhuo Ruoning's image has undergone earth-shaking changes in the hearts of all the sons, and this small flaw does not affect anything.

Yu Liangchou said: "I think Miss Zhuo behaves generously and has the pride of a woman. ”

Liu Yong: "It is said that Zhuo Gong is a role model for scholars in the world, the Zhuo family's family learning is really worthy of its reputation, Zhuo's elder brother's poetry and writing are the best in the capital, but I didn't expect Zhuo Fu Shuangshu to also have unique skills." ”

"Who's got a stunt, am I missing something?" A cold and arrogant voice said.

Everyone turned around and hurriedly saluted the lord of Jiangdu.

Yu Fanrou ran to her side, and when she saw that Xi Rong didn't appear, she said strangely: "Is Ah Rong's illness serious?" ”

"The doctor said that there was nothing wrong, but my aunt was not at ease, and said that she would not let her go out until tomorrow after the imperial doctor came to see her."

She saw everyone gathered around, while Geng Kan lowered her head and talked to the Zhuo sisters, her smile faded, and asked, "Isn't it a competition, who won the lottery?" ”

"Today's biggest winner is none other than Zhuo Fu Shuangshu." Yu Cheng taught.

Zhuo Ruozhen's face flushed, and he corrected him: "My painting is not finished yet, because I have won the competition." ”

Everyone said that Zhuo Ruoning was amazing, she had never seen such a powerful little lady Yunyun.

The county lord of Jiangdu barely had a faint smile on his face, moved to the front of the painting case, looked at Zhuo Ruoning's calligraphy and painting, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this what she wrote?" Why is it that in less than half a month, the word has improved so fast? ”

It's not that the handwriting is good, the strokes are stiff and there is no aura, but at least they are flat and stable, and there are rules for the length of the pen, which is many times stronger than what was written in the palace last time.

Zhuo Ruozhen hurriedly said: "Nian Nian was sick some time ago, so his wrist was weak and he couldn't hold a pen, but during this time, his body recovered a little, and his words were stable." ”

The county lord of Jiangdu lowered his head and looked at the painting, ignoring her words, then moved to the side, looked at Zhuo Ruozhen's painting and said, "Are you finishing the painting before anyone?" In terms of completion, Zhuo Wu is indeed finished, but her painting and words are written together, and they don't match. Besides, what is she painting, the character painting is not like the character painting, the genre painting is not like the genre painting, there are so many of you, just choose this? ”

Zhuo Ruoning's paintings are mainly realistic, with simple and straightforward lines, not to mention artistic conception. Although other people's paintings are not finished, the charm and consciousness of the figure paintings are there, which is in line with the current aesthetics.

It makes sense for the county lord of Jiangdu to say this.

However, everyone was conquered by Zhuo Ruoning's unique skills, and they didn't care about the artistry of her words and paintings, which can only be understood and unspeakable, and the county lord of Jiangdu didn't see it with his own eyes, so he couldn't depict the amazement of the scene with her.

"Words, paintings and music, the reading is really average, and when everyone finishes it, it will be fairer to evaluate, as for the arithmetic problem, I think everyone should have no objection to her taking the first place."

"Arithmetic?"

The county lord of Jiangdu walked to Liu Yong's question and looked at it, didn't say anything, and walked away silently.

Zhuo Ruoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she was not interested in other color heads, as long as the thunderbolt stone could be in her hands.

The Lin family led the two sisters to go home after lunch in the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and after arriving home, the second wife picked her up at the Hanging Flower Gate, and the Lin family breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "This royal family is a big house, and the guests are also arrogant, I don't want to go in the future." ”

Li smiled: "Who made you angry?" ”

"As soon as people inquired about me, I was the family member of the six-grade Guozijian Siye, and those eyes rolled directly to the top of my head, who was impatient to make me angry."

"Is there a suitable Xiao Langjun?" She was referring to the blind date for the four girls.

Lin sighed and said: "Let's not go all the way with them, let's look for them in the official eunuchs' houses, the sons of those noble families, all look like the people in the painting, dress well, and speak generously, they definitely don't look down on the daughters of small families." But today, Brother Xiao took his two younger sisters to the poetry meeting, and I will ask them what the situation is. ”

A row of lights lit up in the Moon Shadow Pavilion, the atmosphere of each room was different, the eldest girl had just come out of the fourth girl's room, carefully inquired about the situation of the poetry meeting, and was envious that she could go out as a guest, and when she returned to her room, she found the poems she had made with the little sisters a few years ago, and recalled those happy times as if they were just yesterday.

The three girls were sitting cross-legged on the bed sulking, and they lost their temper several times today, almost smashing the bean-colored flower pattern pot on the table, Aunt Jiang sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her well, "...... These four girls are really cunning, the news is tightly hidden, I don't even know that she also went, next time if my wife leaves you again and takes the fourth girl and the fifth girl out as guests, I will definitely go to the eldest master to seek justice for you. ”

Zhuo Ruoling said angrily: "Next time, next time, next time, how can I have the opportunity to go to someone like Zheng Guogong's Mansion next time?" ”

Aunt Jiang: "Mrs. is a little eccentric, but the reason is not unreasonable, there are four girls in the family, only the four girls have not yet settled their relatives, and it is reasonable to take her out to meet people." ”

"What about the fifth sister, she is also engaged, how can she go?"

"Alas, it's all your grandfather's fault for squandering the family business, and I can only be a concubine for others, if you were born in your wife's belly, how good it would be."

Zhuo Ruoling threw herself on the bed and covered her ears tightly with a pillow: "It's these words again, how many times have I said them over and over again, you're not tired, I'm still tired." ”

Aunt Jiang hurriedly pulled her pillow: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't get bored, take the pillow away......"

In the western room, Zhuo Ruozhen sat in front of the window reading a book, but Nu'er went in and out and found that she hadn't turned a page for half a day.

"Fourth girl, but what's on your mind?"

Zhuo Ruozhen came back to his senses and continued to read: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about things." ”

"Did you see General Xiao Geng today?"

Zhuo Ruozhen glanced up at her and nodded.

"The fourth girl didn't deliberately make things difficult for you, did she?"

Zhuo Ruozhen put down the book, thought for a while, and said, "Do you feel that Nian Nian has changed a lot from the last time I saw him?" ”

He'er nodded vigorously: "The fifth girl is much kinder than before, she smiles when she sees people, she speaks coquettishly, and she doesn't deliberately embarrass us." ”

"I feel strange, after a person has amnesia, his temperament and preferences can change, how can he completely change his painting style and handwriting? And she didn't learn arithmetic before. ”

"You don't care how she changes, as long as you don't be suspicious like before, just target us, you and the big girl are hard enough."

Zhuo Ruozhen thought of the scene he saw today, and muttered, "Maybe it won't really target us in the future." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhuo Ruozhen suddenly got up and said, "Is the second brother back?" You go to him and borrow a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"...... Forget it, I'll go myself. ”
