Princess Yuanhua puffed out her nose proudly.

"My appearance fee, no one can afford it for the whole week."

Then the conversation changed again.

"However, if you want to hear it, I can give it away for free."

Xiang Yan was pretending to be distressed.

"But I've heard that free stuff is the most expensive."

After that, the two talked to each other again, and then Xiang Yan explained the intention of this time.

After Princess Yuanhua heard this, her eyes rolled, Xiang Yan thought that Yuanhua would be unhappy if she was found in this kind of trouble.

Unexpectedly, she seemed to think of something, and then agreed happily.

Xiang Yan was puzzled, so she asked the reason.

But Yuan Hua sold a pass, and only replied with a meaningful smile from Xiang Yan.

"Well, if there's anything in your textbook that I don't understand."

After Yuan Hua took the book in Xiang Yan's hand, he asked again.

"Then are you coming to my mansion to explain my doubts, or am I going to the right minister's mansion to ask you?"

Xiang Yan was asked.

"Although I also know that it is already very unpleasant for you to write me a newspaper manuscript."

"But, if there is something you don't understand here, send someone to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to find me first, and then wait for me to come."

"This one comes and goes. How much work is delayed. ”

"So, dear princess, can you be cheeky and ask you, if there is something you don't understand, go directly to my house to find me, and solve the problem in time?"

Princess Yuanhua stroked the bangs on her forehead.

"Since you have sincerely requested, then Princess Ben will mercifully promise you once."

Xiang Yan immediately thanked him.

"Still." Princess Yuanhua began to mention the conditions.

"Then you have to tell your guards in advance, let me come and go in and out of your house freely."

"I don't want to wait at your door for half a day to report when the time comes."

Xiang Yan joked again.

"It took me so much effort to get free access to your house."

"You're just helping me for the first time, and you want to take away the rights I've worked so hard to get?"

Princess Yuanhua is even more energetic.

"That's right, that's what I want."

"Who made me yours, Your Highness the Princess?"

Xiang Yan was immediately amused by her.

……

The land was taken away by Xiang Yan and became an old farmer in Shiyi.

Sun Ziben was sent to Lu Xiucai by the old farmer to read and write.

But because of Lu Xiucai's five-day rest rule, the grandson of the old farmer did not go to Lu Xiucai's school today.

Instead, help a little at home.

The little grandson fenced some of the little piglets, and today someone will come to collect them, so he helps to select the little piglets to be sold.

The selected piglets are all small piglets that look more energetic, and such pig seedlings should be easy to sell.

And those who don't seem to be very energetic, can only send a little to the neighbors, and then leave some of them to raise and eat meat by themselves.

"Grandpa, why hasn't that person come yet? It's going to be noon in a while. ”

"As soon as the sun is hot, the little piglet who was originally in spirit will become unenergetic."

The old peasant sat on the side, smoking the dry tobacco in his mouth.

"What's the hurry, it's not Xing, people are delayed when they encounter something on the way here."

"Wait, it shouldn't be long before someone comes."

When the little grandson heard this, he could only sit aside, and then took out a newspaper from his arms to read.

When the old farmer saw it, he was curious.

"You've only been going to Mr. Lu's to learn to read and write for more than a month, and you're already able to read newspapers?"

The little grandson replied.

"How can it, Mr. Lu said, if you want to recognize most of the words in an article smoothly, it will take a year or two to say the least."

The old farmer said.

"Then what are you doing with the newspaper and pretending to read it?"

"Don't be crumpled, two copper plates and a newspaper, you can buy two cooking cakes on Luoyang Street at this price!"

"Keep it well, and when you recognize more words in the future, you can take it out and read it."

"Don't worry, I'll entrust you to my junior brother, and I bought every issue of the newspaper and saved it. Don't worry about this time, you will definitely be able to make up for it in the future. ”

When the little grandson heard this, he explained to him.

"No, grandpa!"

"I'm not reading the article above, I'm reading this."

The little grandson pointed it out to the old farmer.

The old farmer looked at his fingers, and saw that there was a section in the newspaper, and it was not all those dense words that he couldn't read.

And it looks like something like something you've never seen before.

The old farmer asked.

"Is this it?"

The little grandson said.

"The third brother who went to school together read it to me, it's called Arabic numerals!"

The old farmer frowned.

Arabic numeral?

I've never heard of it.

"What is this for?"

The old farmer asked again.

The little grandson replied.

"The third brother said that he could learn mathematics!"

"I listened to the third brother read it to me, it was very interesting and very simple!"

The old farmer was about to say something, but the vendor who collected the pigs arrived at this time.

The old farmer hurried forward to greet him, and forgot what he wanted to say to his little grandson.

At the beckoning of the old farmer, the vendor looked at the little piglets in the circle.

I was very satisfied, and said that it was still at the price of previous years.

The old farmer was also very happy when he heard this, and even thanked him.

At the price of previous years, a small piglet has seventeen copper plates.

The old farmer didn't know arithmetic, and the vendor didn't bring an abacus, in order to reassure the old farmer that he didn't pit him with copper plates.

So the dealings between the hawkers and the old peasants continued in the same way as before.

It was the old farmer who rowed a little piglet to the peddler, and then the peddler paid the old farmer seventeen copper plates.

And so on until all the piglets are sold.

The two of them got into this way, and the little grandson saw that it was almost noon, and if they continued to do this, they would have to miss the lunch time.

So he exited.

"Grandpa, why do you need to be so troublesome, it's too much time for you to do this."

"A piglet has seventeen copper plates, and all of us have five piglets in a pen, so all the piglets in a pen are worth eighty-five copper plates."

"It's ten circles on our side, so this uncle can give you eight hundred and fifty copper plates."

"Just give all the money, and then pull the piglets away, don't sell them one by one like this."

After hearing this, the hawker and the old farmer all looked at each other.

The old peasant came back to his senses and reprimanded.

"Children know something, play while playing!"

The peddler, however, was intrigued and said to the old farmer.

"Wait!"

Then he squatted on the ground, drew a simple abacus with a tree branch, and picked up a few small pebbles to serve as abacus.

That's it.

After a long time, it seems that there is finally a result.

The peddler was amazed.

"That's eight hundred and fifty copper plates!"
