Chapter 164: The Past Is Like a Dream, Grasp the Present

Ai Laohu frowned and looked at the autumn colors. [No pop-ups. Pointing to a line of counts in the ledger, he asked, "Easy is easy." That is, what to do when it means a large number. If you write a hundred or ten thousand, do you have to draw a hundred or ten thousand vertical lines? ”

Autumn colors choke. Some are angry at the naivety of men. But point to the numbers that follow. "Isn't there still a 2 and a 3? You see, this goose-neck-like number is 2. Like the ear area, it is 3 ......."

Thereupon. Autumn Colors taught him the number song just like she taught a toddler in a nursery class. Fortunately, Ai Laohu has just started learning. But it's better than a child's ability to understand. Ten numbers were learned very quickly. And then I still asked the autumn colors strangely. "That hundred. Eleven. How to write twelve. Why don't you continue to teach? ”

"Look at ......," the autumn color said, but he didn't finish it. Suddenly Vanilla was heard shouting outside. "Sister Pearl. What are you doing. ”

Autumn color subconsciously put down the pen and paper. Sit far away.

Ai Laohu was a little stunned at first, and then understood. Autumn Colors didn't want people to know that she was teaching herself Arabic numerals. and no longer demanded. shouted outside with a black face. "What are you doing. Noisy. ”

After a while, pearls and vanilla entered the house one after the other. I saw that Pearl's face was slightly red. Leaning over and asking, "The slave wants to come and say goodbye to Madame." The slave's aunt was sick again. The slave wants to go back and see her tomorrow. ”

"Ahh Autumn colors answered. Indifferently, he said, "Then let's go." By the way, help me bring a good one to Mrs. Ma. ”

"Mrs. Xie." Pearl thanked him and hurried away.

Vanilla neatly arranged the food in the food box. Said to Ai Laohu: "Master." Please have a meal. ”

Ai Laohu cleared his throat and answered. Then he said, "Put the food box down and you can go." I don't tell you not to come in. ”

"Yes." Vanilla answered and was about to go out, but was stopped by the autumn color. "Vanilla, what did you just do shouting at Pearl outside the door."

Vanilla replied truthfully: "I saw Sister Pearl hiding in the door and looking in, so I shouted." Maybe she didn't dare to come in. ”

Autumn color glanced at Ai Laohu. I saw that his face was really dark. Said to vanilla. "You go down first."

"In the future, let her get involved in family affairs." After thinking for a long time, Ai Laohu said such a sentence.

Autumn Colors didn't continue to talk about it. He only said to him, "Hurry up and eat something and continue to learn this number." ”

Ai Laohu answered. Then he picked up a bun from the plate and took two bites. praised vaguely: "This bun is really good." I guess it's not the craftsmanship of the pearl. ”

"It's not. I taught vanilla to make it. Talking about autumn colors, he asked him again. What do you think. It tastes good. I marinated the lean meat for two days, and then I served some eggplant and stuffed buns. There is both the sauce and eggplant aroma of meat. It would be nice to put some more chili peppers. ”

"Delicious. In the future, let that grass cook, don't let Pearl reach out. "Ai Laohu's taste is on the heavy side. I am even more disgusted with the light food made by pearls. Ai Laohu stood in front of Autumn Color with a bun. "You start talking. I'm eating here. There is no delay on both sides. ”

Autumn colors also want to finish speaking quickly and rest early. I continued to draw two 1's on the white paper. Then he said, "Look. Such small vertical bars are two 1s when viewed separately. But to be together is eleven. ”

"Why?" Ai Laohu asked puzzled.

"That's because there are ten people in front of you." Autumn colors explained to him. "Look. These numbers from right to left are single digits, ten digits, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands. But when we read it, we read it from left to right. Read the digit high first. If it is said that three 1s are together, it is one hundred and one pick. But if you use these Arabic numerals, it is much stronger than that long string of Chinese characters. Isn't it. ”

Ai Laohu studied very seriously. Although this was his first encounter with such Arabic numerals, fortunately his comprehension was quite up to par. After more than an hour, he finally figured out how to read and write Arabic numerals with more than 1000 digits.

So Qiushi taught him the method of borrowing and accounting again. Then let him start trying to look at the ledgers he had brought back. By the time Autumn followed her to see the third book. He had already mastered this method of credit and debit accounting.

At this time, the autumn colors are really lacking. I didn't care about him anymore and went straight back to my room to rest.

Ai Laohu was busy until the second half of the night, barely reading a few account books. When I got back to my room, I was dreaming. It's saying 'don't, don't'.

"Hey. Wake up. What did you dream about. Ai Laohu woke up the autumn colors and asked in wonder. Without waiting for her to say, she lay down and fell asleep on her own.

And the autumn colors that woke him up couldn't sleep anymore. I think back to the dream I just had. I think it's incredible. Maybe it's because I know there's another traverser. When she first fell asleep, she dreamed of modern times.

Even if time slows down the flow rate. Nor can it cross time and space. The past is still a dream after all. Autumn turned to look at the half-curved moon outside the window. Inexplicably I feel a little lonely.

Later, however, she dreamed of another experience of a crossing woman. It's like she's experienced it herself. First, the house fight defeated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Successfully married to the unfavored prince as a side room. Then continue to fight in the house, pk off the concubine, and start the palace fight. To please the Queen Mother. Help his husband and prince to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor and show his face. became one of the opponents that the prince of the East Palace had to guard against; And the crossing girl also jumped from an unfavored concubine to a princess with a high stroke in the capital.

At last. The crossing girl who successfully ascended to the throne and became a princess turned around and complained that the autumn colors were too low-key. actually dragged her to create a new era of equality between men and women. The autumn colors were not lightly frightened. Waved his hands again and again and shouted no. Fortunately, Ai Laohu woke her up at the very least.

Now in retrospect. It's strange enough. I don't know how I could have such a dream. Could it be that I am subconsciously dissatisfied with the current life? I want to be a domineering crossover girl.

At this time, Ai Laohu, who was behind him, suddenly turned over. The long arm stretches out. Subconsciously hugged the autumn color in his arms.

Familiar body odor. Warm embrace. Autumn suddenly smiled inexplicably. The domineering crossing girl is also good. The princess and lady of the scenery are also good. You still need to work hard to achieve it. And even if you work hard, you may not be able to achieve it. But the man behind him and the temperature that surrounds him are something that he can have now. So. Is there anything else to hesitate about.

Thereupon. The man who was sleeping in autumn fell asleep again as it approached the wee hours of the morning.

When the autumn colors wake up, it is already three poles of the sun. Ai Laohu has long since disappeared.

"Ma'am. Why don't you eat and lie down for a while? When the master was leaving, he specifically told me not to wake you up too early. Vanilla said as she lifted the bed tent.

Autumn Colors looked outside. It felt like it was almost noon. He shook his head. "Don't lie down. Lying down for a long time. The pain of the head sauce. ”

"Then I'll help Madame change her clothes." Vanilla said as she brought the clothes that had been placed on the bedside with autumn colors.

"Okay." Autumn Colors stood up and raised her arms. Ren Vanilla wore a wide shirt on herself. I took my pants and put them on directly. Then he took his shoes and walked to the dining table and began to eat.

The vanilla in the back blushed and helped the autumn color to carry the water and purify the water. Then he hurriedly ran out while pouring water. Really. What kind of clothes is Madame wearing? Only a belly pocket and a pair of dirty pants. The belly pocket is too small. Not even the navel is covered. And the pants are so short. Even the thighs were almost visible. It's really hard for Sister Pearl. How does she wait for her wife to get up every day?

In fact, this point is just vanilla thinking too much. I used to sleep well at night in autumn. Morning spirit, too. I don't have to be served by anyone else to get out of bed on my own. I'm really tired today to let Vanilla serve me.

Vanilla found that today's lady is often in a daze. If I had taken myself into the kitchen early in the morning to figure out how to make food. But today I sat at the window and looked out into the yard. I don't even have my hair. Only loose braids hung down on his chest.

"Ma'am. Why don't we go to the kitchen and make some new pastries for the master? Vanilla asked, fanning her for a while.

"No need. It's the most practical to make meat buns for him. Autumn replied wistfully. Then he sat in front of the window in a daze. She was a little confused. I don't know if Ai Laohu has learned those Arabic numerals well. Can you read the ledger? The most important thing is not to say that he taught him himself. If it really attracts attention because of this. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

It's in such a nervous mood. Autumn colors spent the whole afternoon. In the evening. Ai Laohu came back with another stack of ledgers.

"Mother-in-law. You'll have to check the accounts for me. I'll have to pay the bill tomorrow. If I don't understand, I can't go to the treasury. "I haven't put down the ledger yet. Ai Laohu said to Qiu Se like this.

And Autumn Colors chased after him and asked about another thing. "No one asked you how you knew the numbers. You didn't tell me. ”

Ai Laohu looked back at the autumn colors strangely. "I said what are you doing. You're not the only one who knows these Arabic numerals. ”

The autumn color paused for a long time. Rather annoyed, he asked, "Then why did you come back and ask me?" ”

"It's not Lady Mei yet. Let's just say that all the accounting offices that know how to keep new accounts are busy. Hum. It's not a joke to look at me with a heart. I guess it's to pick up the prefect's stinky feet. ”

"Then Master Ma won't help you. He must have come from the capital to have an account room that can keep this kind of account. ”

Ai Laohu said impatiently: "I didn't tell you." The tent that I brought with me is dead. The newcomers haven't arrived yet. Don't ask about the useless. Come and check the bills for me. ”

The autumn colors full of doubts were pulled over and made a private account for half a night. In the end, I couldn't stand it, I threw Ai Laohu and went back to my room to sleep for two hours. When it was almost dawn, he was called up again to help with the final check, and it was finally completed.
