Chapter 34: Abacus (Part II)

Suddenly there was a change, the white butler looked at the young man who was playing with the abacus with both hands was a man in his early twenties, and couldn't help but feel that the future was terrifying, like he was still a yellow-haired boy when he was so young, he didn't know anything about the world all day long, and he would only knock on the abacus a few times under the repeated supervision of the master, and he was completely perfunctory, until he was still in the year of his establishment, and then the master would drive him down the mountain and let him travel all over the world to find something to do.

Forced by life to find a place to settle down in troubled times, I heard that the young talents of Wen Jiang's royal family are very promising, and have the heart to gather capable people from all walks of life to prepare for the expansion of the territory and dominate the world.

It had been many years since anyone had demonstrated this skill in front of him, and he himself was too old to continue using the sub-skill.

Lao Ji Fu Fang, ambition thousands of miles, although he is old, but the ambition has not been ruthlessly erased by the years, once again seeing someone in front of him to perform two-handed marbles, the white butler burst into tears, and the long-suppressed ambitions in his heart were rekindled.

Di Yue vaguely remembered that sitting in the corner was a scholar in Tsing Yi, the scholar's atmosphere was very strong, seeing the delicate appearance, tall and thin, gentle and elegant, seeing that he was very shy when talking to others, always with a quiet smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being like a breeze, and he was definitely a beautiful son.

Unexpectedly, such an outstanding-looking son actually hid his stunts, and he didn't plan to show them at the beginning.

Di Yue thought that only he could master the skills, but he didn't expect to meet such a strong opponent in the account room of the prince's mansion of a small vassal state, you must know that Jiang Liguo is a country at the bottom of the list among the countries, even if the royal family intends to cultivate talented people, but not necessarily how many people can afford this small country.

And this is not a national election, not a selection for the emperor to hold official positions, Di Yue is very surprised by the appearance of this person.

Although the skill of this man in Tsing Yi's two-handed marbles is indeed remarkable, at least this speed is more than twice that of those who are playing with one hand, but how could Di Yue be defeated by him so easily, the princess of the dignified Dahua Dynasty has her own advantages, her reflexes are fast, and her movements are agile, this is the ability brought by beating the mother's womb, and she thinks that no one has ever been able to beat her in this regard.

Although there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people, but under the crushing of absolute ability, others can only be reduced to ants and scum, strength proves everything, Di Yue has always been a person who proves his ability with actions.

With the passage of time, there is still the last quarter of the time for the assessment, Di Yue discarded distracting thoughts, smiled knowingly, looked at the incense that was burning, and smelled the faint scent of sandalwood in the air, Di Yue began to move.

In an instant, Di Yue put the abacus in his hand, spread the test paper flat, and ensured that he could see all the test questions at a glance, so he opened the bow left and right, and his hands crackled and played with the abacus beads uninterruptedly, and his dexterous fingers shuttled in it leaving only an afterimage.

Hearing the voice, all kinds of eyes and all kinds of remarks did not interfere with her at all, and she focused on the arithmetic, her delicate and white fingers danced like a dancing fairy, constantly playing with the abacus, so fast that everyone had no time to react.

But after watching it for a long time, everyone was puzzled, because everyone saw that she was constantly fiddling with the abacus, which was not disorganized, but because everyone's reaction ability could not keep up with the speed of her fingers fiddling with the abacus, so after watching it for so long, everyone didn't see which question she was calculating.

And seeing Di Yue's hands playing with the abacus beads smartly, she didn't see her writing the calculated answers on paper.

Different from the surprise at the beginning, everyone only felt that Di Yue was grandstanding, and he didn't know how to use the skills of two-handed marbles, but he wanted to perform here.

Seeing that Di Yue is completely different from the man in Tsing Yi, although the speed of the man in Tsing Yi is not as fast as Di Yue's, but people write the answer on the paper after calculating a question, and the rules and regulations do seem to be more reliable.

The white steward was indeed surprised by the speed of Di Yue's two-handed marbles, seeing that she was really capable of keeping up like this, this girl really hid a lot of secrets, as far as her reaction speed was concerned, it was by no means comparable to ordinary people, seeing that he was a bad old man and old eyes, out of familiarity with the test papers he produced, he could barely keep up with her speed, knowing which question Di Yue was calculating.

But he was also a little puzzled, you must know that each question is composed of a large amount of data, and it is by no means calculated without the abacus, the data is not only huge, but also has no rules to follow, so if you remember all the answers to half of the test paper in your heart at once and then write it out, the white steward thinks that he can't do it, and no one can do it, so his eyes looking at Di Yue are full of confusion.

Seeing such a beautiful girl with smart hands as if dancing on the white jade abacus, the sunlight sprinkled on Di Yue's body through the gap in the window, the pure white flooding on the goose yellow clothes, and the abacus made of white jade in her hand complemented each other, making Di Yue beautiful and incomprehensible.

However, there are also many people who feel sorry in their hearts, but such a bright and moving girl is temporarily cramming at this time, and the scholars who are following the example of the East are marbles in their hands.

Everyone understands in their hearts that the skill of two-handed marbles is not a few years, it is difficult to learn, and even if ordinary people learn it, the speed will not be fast, and they are often distracted because of the combined use of the left and right hands, and it is not as good as using only one hand, so people who can use this skill and calculate quickly are often rare, after all, ordinary people can't use this skill, and there are naturally not many people who learn this skill.

You must know that Di Yue has been involved in court affairs since he was eight years old, after all, she is the only son of the emperor of the Dahua Dynasty, and the emperor is only happy in middle age, when Di Yue is eight years old, the emperor is already fifty years old, in a high position, and the country is weakening day by day, he should work hard as the emperor, he has not had many peaceful birthdays, and the heir is only Di Yue, only when he reaches the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he feels that his energy is no longer enough, so he cultivates Di Yue as a future successor early, and Di Yue does perform well, and understands the hard work of his father and mother, so everything is done to be brilliant, which makes the emperor very pleased, and these two-handed marbles are also when the emperor handed over the key to the treasury to Di Yue, she spent half a year practicing it for three hours a day.

Although Di Yue is talented in this area, her excellent performance today is the result of her hard work.

There is nothing that can be achieved overnight in this world, and it often takes years of polishing to develop a skill and a stunning performance.

In the eyes of everyone, when there was still a cup of tea at the end, Di Yue stopped the movement in his hand, placed the white jade abacus on the table, swept the burning incense, and calmly picked up the brush in the confused eyes of everyone, dipped it in a little ink and spread out the test paper, and wrote all the answers in his heart on the paper one by one, the handwriting was elegant, and it could be seen that the person who wrote was in a good mood now.

Steward Bai couldn't help but walk to her side when he watched Di Yue's movements, looking at the answer she wrote, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his eyes were full of puzzlement looking at Di Yue's calm expression.

It's rare to finish all the questions, Di Yue's fingers are a little red, but he is in a good mood, and he smiles slightly at the confused and surprised white steward, revealing his little tiger teeth, and has a little bit of his daughter's coquettishness.

Facing Di Yue like this, the white steward was infected by her smile, and believed in his heart that this girl was indeed a master, and her performance was much better than her heyday, and the white steward had already accepted Di Yue as the winner of this competition.

After seeing the situation on Di Yue's side, and seeing that she had answered all the questions, he walked to the man in Tsing Yi to watch his performance.

Young people will always be a little unbreathable, I thought I would be the best performer in this game, but I didn't expect to kill a dark horse unexpectedly, and the calculation speed was much faster than myself, but I didn't expect her ability to be proportional to her appearance, which really brought him a lot of influence.

Listening to Di Yue's voice of playing with the abacus beads that was obviously faster than herself, Jin Ye forgot where she calculated several times, and after making a few mistakes, the speed naturally fell, and it was only in the last time that she could finish the last question.

Looking at Jin Ye's performance, the white steward is also very satisfied, this time his account is also looking for a successor to inherit his mantle, a man and a woman are the best, the difference between men and women can just complement each other in work, the white steward feels that he has picked up a big bargain today, and he finds two such excellent talents in one game.

The game came to an end, and the rest of the people used one hand to calculate, even if the speed was increased to the limit, they couldn't complete the calculation at the end of time, and there were two people who performed so well in the game who have been psychologically interfering with them.

After handing in the papers, the results will not come out so quickly, it takes a certain amount of time to revise the twenty test papers, and after the exam just now, Bai Butler also understands that many people are very tired, after all, the amount of questions is large, and there are two outliers that have been suppressing the influence on other candidates, even if the calculation results of these two people are not good, then the results of other people are not much better, Bai Butler obviously feels that when Di Yue and the two show their computing talents, the other people's hearts are already in chaos, how can they succeed if they can't calm down, this assessment is not just about ability, It also depends on the individual's conduct.

Di Yue deliberately went to the end, wanting to avoid other attention, when Di Yue walked out of the examination room, he saw the jade porcelain who had been waiting outside, his heart was warm, after a game, Di Yue's heart had calmed down, Yu Porcelain was going to get married sooner or later, Na Lan Ting She looked very satisfied, her mind was lively, and when Yu Porcelain chased him so much, she just ran with her head in her hands, and did not do anything with Yu Porcelain, it seems that he is a sensible person, and he is the most trusted person around the three princes, so the life of Yu Porcelain should be worry-free.

"Why are you here? Lanting doesn't need to be taken care of anymore? ”

Di Yue quipped, and sure enough, Yu Yue's face turned red all of a sudden, and he glanced at Di Yue, shy.

"He woke up, fed the medicine and fell asleep again, I came to see you, I have to come to your game after all, cheer you up, otherwise you should say that I am a heavy color and a light friend."

"How dare you! Even if you don't come, I'll win, but I'm happy to have you coming. ”

Di Yue raised her hand and touched Yu Ci's head, obviously she was young, but she was half a head taller than her, Di Yue also loved to touch her head, so Yu Ci felt embarrassed and enjoyed it at the same time, and it could be seen that Di Yue had regarded her as a close friend.

"Yueyue, there is still half an hour, let's go back and rest and come back, you can tell me about your competition, I just heard that you can count with two hands, so amazing, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, why didn't you tell me earlier, I was so worried."

Listening to the people next to her discussing how Di Yue's performance shocked everyone, Yuci felt very curious, but so many people around were too noisy, so she suggested that Di Yue go back and talk to her about it slowly.
