Chapter 490: Do You Understand?

Walking slowly was the prince and the head of the household department and the official department.

First, the two adults had something to do with the prince, so they came to see the prince here, but unexpectedly, a girl came over after a while to report that Miss Shang Si had put on a beat.

Then after talking about the reasons, the prince frowned, it seems that his concubine is really not on the stage, she has spoiled her so much, she can't see who is light or heavy.

But the two Shangshu lords are very interested in Miss Shang Si, and I heard that Miss Shang Si shouted at all the young ladies and those sons, it was really a bit bold.

Although this Fourth Miss Shang was favored by the Marquis of Murong, and Mrs. Murong was also favored by her, but she dared to challenge herself in person, she had no ability, and no one dared to do this!

So when I heard about it, I wanted to come and see it.

But the prince recruited his own long entourage, whispered, and the long entourage immediately ran out, so after a while, a few people came to the palace.

One is Xu Shanchang, a person who usually doesn't like to go out much.

One is the third prince, who has been busy recently, but after getting the prince's letter, he immediately came.

Then the prince took these people to this garden.

Seeing that the prince was coming, the princess and the others also hurriedly got up, but the prince asked people to set up some tables and chairs on the other side. A few people sat down, and Shang Ruonan, who was still on the stage, was a little embarrassed.

Among these people who came, several of them were recognized by themselves. And from the people I know. They're all big shots. And he is a little person, shouting and swinging here. first showed this to the female dependents, so he dared to do this, mainly because he was forced to be angry. And now these are big shots, themselves, but you have to be careful.

Shang Ruonan also stood up with everyone and saluted a few people, and then prepared to hand over the table, so let's go down and sit down.

But I didn't expect Shang Ruonan to move, and Xu Shanchang said:

"Fourth Miss, don't move, I heard from the prince that you are swinging, so I came to take a look."

The princess glanced at the princess, stood up with a light smile and said:

"The mountain chief, that is, the children have fun. I was thinking that the county lord was married, and my house would be a lot deserted, so I invited these young ladies and sons to just want to have a lively time. ”

In fact, the princess didn't want Shang Ruonan to be too showy, she really loved Shang Ruonan, and she also knew that it was definitely not good for a woman to be too showy. Originally, I didn't want Shang Ruonan to be in the limelight in today's actions, but I didn't expect Ouyang Ruihua to stare at Shang Ruonan. That's why we're in this situation.

At this step of the princess, except for Shang Ruonan, no one paid attention to it, and everyone who came wanted to see how capable this girl who had been in Beijing recently was.

Although the mountain chief didn't speak, he also understood it in his heart. Shang Xianglan is a very good seedling of reading, but a lot of her credit should be Shang Ruonan.

And the third prince knows more about Shang Ruonan. One is from his wife's side, the second is from the emperor's side, and the third is from Mrs. Su.

Therefore, with this opportunity, he also wanted to know what else this fourth girl could do.

But the prince opened his mouth and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, let's see, didn't you say that we've all been beaten? Who wins? ”

The prince didn't even look at the princess. Turning to look at his son. Ouyang Xu's eyes were shining: 51

"Father, the third prince, sir, look at these poems. This is what I just said about using snow as an order, and the fourth girl Shang made it in one go. None of us can compare to these poems. So Miss Shang Si won. While he was talking about counting, you came. ”

The manuscript handed over by the little guy was naturally sent to Xu Shanchang first, and Xu Shanchang read the first poem and said:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! A good plum loses three points of snowflake, and Xuexun plum blossom is fragrant! ”

"This, this is also wonderful! Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow! This scene is even better! ”

Every time he saw one, the mountain chief shouted wonderfully, and after reading one by one, the mountain chief stood up. Long sigh of relief! Then he said:

"These poems by Miss Shang Si deserve to be peerless!"

Shang Ruonan muttered in his heart: Is that still bad? But what about things that have gone through hundreds or thousands of years.

The three princes also followed and read these poems. The people who came were all good at reading poetry books, but after reading these poems, they felt that some of the miscellaneous poems they had written before were really unsightly.

"Sure enough, it's a talented girl! But, I heard what you guys were talking about! ”

Ouyang Xu said again:

"Yes, we were talking about some counting just now, Yue Gongzi is a student in our Ming Academy, and he still has some strengths in counting, he said to ask Miss Shang Si for some counting problems."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

Lord Tobe Shangshu, who has always counted some of the questions, immediately asked.

"Back to my lord, the students are asking some questions about the nine-square grid."

"What is the Nine Square Grid?"

Obviously, Lord Feng didn't know about this thing yet. And Xu Shanchang added on the side:

"This prince of Yue is a descendant of a royal family in South Vietnam. This son does have a different mind about mathematics and physics. Also, the nine-square grid is obtained from an ancient book, and the words are nine palaces, three horizontal, three vertical, three oblique. ”

"Yes, the student is fortunate enough to go to the mountain chief's study once to read this book, so he wants to learn this nine-square grid, so that the number of children from one to nine is ranked in this grid, so that the sum of the horizontal, vertical, and oblique three must be equal."

According to Shang Ruonan's knowledge in the past two years, there are no special mathematics and science courses in this era, and some gentlemen think that learning those things is ingenious and useless. Numbers are used to calculate finances. It's good to be able to add or subtract. There is no multiplication and division, let alone some arithmetic skills. Everything was done with a single abacus.

Therefore, this obviously very simple little Nine Palaces, in their eyes, is a very difficult thing. It's worth studying. And Yue Gongzi raised this question, in addition to wanting to see Shang Ruonan's ability, he was also vaguely unconvinced by Shang Ruonan. I think I have come up with a difficult problem.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he said it. Everyone was lost in thought, apparently, wondering how to do it.

But Xu Shanchang may have studied this thing, and he was more calm and leisurely, but when he saw Shang Ruonan, he was also sitting there very casually, and he didn't think deeply about this question.

Xu Shan raised his voice and said:

"Fourth Miss, did you understand Yue Gongzi's question just now?"

"Understood."

"So you have the answer?"
