Fei Rulan took her son, Xiyue and the nurse to her mother Lou's door.

The official seal engraved by the Ministry of Rites was handed over to the secretary for safekeeping.

As for the official uniform, let the guards take it back to the inner house. The guards only dared to enter the hall, so they packed it in rattan boxes and placed them squarely on the table.

Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei returned together, chattering all the way. Although the female teachers in the school always taught girls that they should be demure and dignified, eight out of ten students studying in girls' schools are becoming more and more lively.

"Sister, sister!"

Fei Rumei ran into the courtyard and shouted, but no one answered.

A maid came out of the kitchen: "Miss Rumei, Madame has returned to her mother's house." She said she could come back before the evening and asked me to cook the food first. ”

"Oh, you go get busy," Fei Rumei walked into the hall, shook her schoolbag, and muttered, "I finally came here, but my sister went to my house instead." ”

Zhao Zhenfang went back to the room and put away her schoolbag, poured two glasses of water, and handed one cup to Fei Rumei: "Tomorrow is the annual vacation, Miao Tong please go to her house to play, will you go?" ”

"Go, there's nothing to do if you stay home." Fei Rumei said with a smile.

Seeing that there was a rattan box on the table, Fei Rumei put down the cup, went over to open the box, and was immediately surprised: "Ah, is this an official hat?" The wings are so long. ”

The official uniform is only worn when the official is on duty, and ordinary people have really never seen it, and Fei Yinghuan will not take out the official uniform to show off when he goes home.

Zhao Zhenfang dissuaded: "This is the second brother's thing, don't move around." ”

Fei Rumei said: "This is the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, my brother-in-law is a thief, so he won't wear this kind of thing." “

"That's right." Zhao Zhenfang nodded.

Fei Rumei raised her official hat, clasped it on her head and said, "Do I look like an official master?" ”

Zhao Zhenfang couldn't help laughing: "Your head is too small." ”

Fei Rumei took out the set of clothes again, put them on her body indiscriminately, raised her hand to hold the unstable official hat, pretended to be a lascivious and corrupt official, picked Zhao Zhenfang's chin with her fingers and said, "This little lady is handsome, can I go back with this official today to enjoy happiness?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhao Zhenfang was amused and laughed, suddenly snatched the hat, put it on her head and said, "Be bold and take off your official's clothes!" ”

The official uniform was worn on Fei Rulan, and the sleeves and hem were too long. Just as a costume, she learned to shake her sleeves in the play, and then began to show off her figure, twisting and walking forward.

"Oops!"

Fei Rumei stepped on the hem of her clothes on her toes and slammed forward to eat.

felt that the light at the door was dark, Fei Rumei looked up, quickly got up and said, "Brother-in-law is back." ”

Zhao Zhenfang hurriedly took off her official hat and quickly put it in the box, and Fei Rumei also quickly took off her official uniform.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "If you like it, you can wear it and play it, don't wear it outside." ”

Fei Rumei explained: "We just think it's strange. ”

"I'll put it on for my second brother." Zhao Zhenfang was afraid that Zhao Han would be angry, so she picked up her official hat and put it on Zhao Han's head.

Fei Rumei also said: "I dress my brother-in-law. ”

Zhao Han didn't refuse, he stood in place with a smile, tossed by the two little girls.

Before the official uniform was put on, Fei Rulan had already come back from the door, and when she saw Zhao Han's appearance, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Husband's dress is really spiritual." ”

Zhao Han put the official hat on the table, but the official uniform was not taken off, and said: "You are looking for someone to sew a set of military attaché clothes, and you want to be of the second grade." ”

Fei Rulan didn't ask why, and immediately responded: "Okay, I'll go to find a tailor tomorrow." ”

After all, he has accepted Zhao'an, and he will inevitably deal with officials in the future. Regular clothes belong to the daily clothing of officials, and they are generally made by themselves, and Zhao Han should embroider a lion on his chest.

While the couple were talking, the two little girls had already run away and teased the soon-to-be-turned one-year-old girl.

They put the children on the carpet and lure them with toys made of bamboo and wood.

But she sat there stupidly, looking at them in a daze, with no idea of crawling over to get the toy.

It's not very lively, and it usually eats a lot, and it's as fat as a meat ball. Sometimes Zhao Han thinks that his eldest son will not become a dead fat house in the future, right?

The nurse still said vigorously: "Children should eat more, and they can only feed if they have a big appetite." Now I look fat, and when I was one or two years old, I lost weight. ”

"Gun'er, Gun'er, come here!" Zhao Zhenfang shook the rattle.

Attracted by the sound of the drums, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly crawled forward. But after only two steps, he suddenly lay down and rolled, and because he was too fat, he was too tired to move after only one roll.

Fei Rumei pouted and said, "It's not fun at all. ”

As soon as the words fell, Quan Er suddenly climbed out of the carpet, hugged the legs of the bench and pushed hard, and actually pushed a stool forward.

It seems that the rattle is too small to be interesting, and that stool is his toy.

Zhao Han and Fei Rulan sat next to each other, didn't speak, only smiled and watched their son play.

The next day, it will be a holiday.

Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei, escorted by two servants, went to their classmates' homes to play tricks.

This female classmate's surname is Liu, and her maiden name is Miao Tong, I heard that she opened her eyes when she was born, and her eyes are very beautiful.

Liu Miaotong's house is very large, as long as he is willing to hand over the property, Zhao Han will not confiscate the gentry's other properties. It's just that there are fewer servants, unlike before, there are groups of domestic slaves, there is no income from tens of thousands of acres of land, and big families really don't dare to hire too many servants.

The garden is directly the garden, and an artificial lake has been dug.

"I'll take you on the swing." Liu Miaotong said with a smile.

Fei Rumei said: "My family used to have swings. ”

Zhao Zhenfang ran with them, looking at the garden scenery from time to time, and suddenly saw a teenager writing something by the lake.

Zhao Zhenfang asked, "Who is that?" ”

"My cousin, a nerd," Liu Miaotong said, "Uncle asked him to go to watch the government, so that he could be an official for Mr. Zhao in the future, and he had to learn those Taixi numbers." The number of earthworms, I was annoyed when I looked at it, he was like getting a treasure. ”

Three girls go on the swing, but the teenager is completely immersed in mathematics.

This young man's name is Xiao Shixuan, a native of Fenghuanggang Village, Taihe County. A third of the whole clan was killed by the thief Cyrubu, and his family ran fast, and fled with a few hundred taels of silver.

I have no property left, so I can only live in a relative's house.

Xiao Shixuan's father, Xiao Shigong, has been taking refuge in Zhao Han for more than a year and is currently serving as the head of the Anfu County Criminal Room.

As for Xiao Shixuan himself, he was only seventeen years old and had no interest in the imperial examination. Since he came into contact with mathematics, he has been living in his uncle's house, and he has corroborated ancient Chinese mathematics with Taixi mathematics.

He thought that algebraic symbols such as A, B, C, etc., were more troublesome to write when doing problems, so he used cursive as the prototype and made a string of symbols by himself.

Then he couldn't stop it, used those symbols to randomly list equations, and studied a lot of things in half a year.

This guy discovered the Vedic theorem, although a hundred years later than in the West, but it was indeed his own generalization. Since then, a series of related laws have been deduced according to this theorem.

Xiao Shixuan was completely trapped, and his father asked him to go to the Yamen to watch politics, but he refused to go - Zhao Han set the rules that scholars who are willing to be officials can go to certain departments for internships. Bring your own dry food, don't get paid, help with things, and the internship period is at least half a year. If it is done well, one of the chief officers and two adjutants of the department can be turned into reserve officials if they jointly sign it. As soon as there is a vacancy, they are selected from among these reserve officials.

In Xiao Shixuan's view, what is more interesting than studying mathematics as being an official?

The three girls first played as a swing, then kicked the shuttlecock for a while, and walked slowly towards the lake.

"Cousin." Liu Miaotong shouted.

"Hmm." Xiao Shixuan only answered, and he didn't bother to raise his head.

Liu Miaotong simply sat down and asked with a smile: "What formula did you study today?" ”

Xiao Shixuan felt that his cousin was so annoying, he looked up and found two strange girls, although they were both beautiful, but he had no fluctuations in his heart.

Women will only influence him to study mathematics!

He was supposed to get married last year, but his fiancée committed suicide after being humiliated, and he has never thought about getting married again.

Zhao Zhenfang glanced at the manuscript paper on the stone table and asked curiously, "What are these symbols?" ”

Xiao Shixuan wanted to send these women away quickly, and casually explained: "A, B, C, D, algebraic symbols." I made it my own random decision, and I can write it in one stroke. ”

"It's convenient," Zhao Zhenfang asked again, "Why don't you have many numbers in your equation?" Who's out of the math problem? ”

"I scribbled it myself," Xiao Shixuan was a little surprised, "You also know equations?" ”

Zhao Zhenfang smiled and said, "My brother taught it." ”

The two began to discuss mathematics, and Xiao Shixuan was very disappointed, because Zhao Zhenfang's level was too low, just like a king facing bronze and silver, he couldn't talk together at all.

Xiao Shixuan didn't want to talk any longer, so he asked directly, "What is Brother Ling's mathematical attainments?" ”

"My brother is good at math." Zhao Zhenfang said.

Xiao Shixuan was eager to find like-minded people, and hurriedly asked: "Where does Brother Ling's family live, and I will definitely go to visit one day." ”

Zhao Zhenfang said: "Go today, my brother will definitely be happy." By the way, bring these manuscripts with you. ”

"Okay, let's go now," Xiao Shizhong immediately got up, "I still have some manuscripts in my room, you wait for me to go back and get them." ”

After speaking, he ignored the three girls, and disappeared after a trot.

Fei Rumei pointed to her brain and asked, "Miao Tong, is your cousin here...... Something is wrong? ”

Liu Miaotong smiled: "He has been very good since he was a child, and he has learned some messy things. Others are working hard to take the Xiucai exam, and after he was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, he has been reading those idle books. ”

Fei Rumei said to Zhao Zhenfang: "This person won't talk nonsense, will he offend his brother-in-law when the time comes?" ”

"No, my brother must value him." Zhao Zhenfang said firmly.

Not long after, Xiao Shixuan came running with a mathematical manuscript, not treating himself as an outsider at all, and said happily: "Let's go, Brother Ling lives far away?" ”

Zhao Zhenfang smiled: "It's not far." ”

Everyone went all the way to Fucheng and came to the outside of the General Soldier's Mansion, Xiao Shixuan felt that something was wrong.

"Your family...... Right? Xiao Shixuan said confusedly.

"Please, Xiao Gongzi." Zhao Zhenfang was very proud and thought that she had recruited a talent for her brother.
