Wenzhu replied calmly, "My daughter is lazy and doesn't like to write those cumbersome Chinese characters, so she took it upon herself to use some simple marks. ”

The article was very interested, pointing to a number of marks in the book and asking one by one, and after a while, it was already clear to the chest, and he was overjoyed, "Zhu'er's method is very wonderful, it greatly saves time, and it is not easy to make mistakes, so I will go to other accounts to promote it for my father." ”

After that, he instructed Wen Zhu to pass on this method to several younger sisters, and went with great interest.

Wen Zhu looked at his younger sisters and felt a big headache, do you want to be a part-time teacher today?

Where to start, Wen Zhu tilted his head and thought for a long time, snapped his fingers, stood on the desk, clapped his hands, and saw that several younger sisters were looking at him, Wen Zhu smiled and said: "Let's not settle accounts in the study today, and go to the yard, my father wants my sister to teach you fun things." ”

The twins cheered and immediately ran out, Wen Xiaomei, who was happy, led Wen Xiaoju and slowly followed behind, Wen Zhu lifted the skirt and walked out last.

When I arrived in the courtyard, the breeze was blowing, Wen Zhu squinted, and pointed at it casually, but it was a hundred-year-old tree in the southeast corner of the courtyard, calling in the maid and servant, and put a few low chairs under the shade of the tree, arranged in a small circle.

After the younger sisters were seated, Wenzhu reached out and broke off a branch from the tree, and wrote ten Arabic numerals from zero to nine on the ground.

Wen Zhu pointed to the numbers on the ground one by one and read: "1 is like a brush, thin strips, 2 is like a duckling, floating on water, 3 is like ears, listen to the sound ......"

When she read it for the third time, Wen Xiaomei could already read it with her, and all her sisters had written it down for the fifth time.

Wen Zhu smiled and said, "If anyone can write down these ten numbers first, my sister will allow her to eat snacks." ”

The twins' eyes lit up and they spoke together, "Is this true, sister? ”

Wen Zhu smiled more and more brightly, didn't speak, stretched out the little fingers of his two hands, but pulled the hook with the solemn twins.

“…… Hang yourself with a hook, and you will not be allowed to change for a hundred years! ”

The twins each picked a stone, squatted on the ground, rolled up their sleeves, pursed their mouths, their little faces were blue and red, and learned to write the ten numbers on the ground one by one.

Wen Xiaoju sat upright on the chair, picked up the branch that Wen Zhu put on the ground, pulled the sleeve with one hand, looked at it seriously, and wrote down the next number.

Wen Xiaomei went back to the room and took a pen, ink, paper, inkstone and two account books, put the account books on her knees, pursed her lips and smiled at Wen Zhu, copied the numbers on the ground, and looked up at the other sisters from time to time, and saw that the twins were squatting with numb feet, and went back to the study to get a few mats.

Wen Xiaomei stopped writing for a while, Wen Zhu had been standing beside her, seeing that she had only written nine numbers, knowing her mind, Wen Zhu gently patted her shoulder.

After a while, the "Wow~" twins jumped up together, very happy, but they learned together.

Looking at Wen Xiaoju's somewhat depressed face, Wen Zhu walked over, and saw that the ground was not pulled from 0 to 9, but it was crooked, and the appearance was not very good, Wen Zhu bent down, hugged the youngest sister, and said, "When my sister wrote it for the first time, she was not as good as Xiaoju." ”

Seeing Wen Xiaoju's smiling face again, Wen Zhu also smiled lightly, but he heard the twins urging urgently: "Sister, snack!" ”

Wen Zhu's face was confused, "What dim sum?" Didn't you have a snack today? ”

The twins didn't get up, and one of them took Wen Zhu and shook it vigorously with one hand.

Wen Zhu, who was dizzy, smiled and said, "I know, I know, sister, I'll ask someone to get a snack." He walked to the door, summoned Zhaocai, and gave a few words of fine command.

After a while, Zhaocai walked in with a snack and several big and small maids, and the twins looked at each other and immediately ran over, but looked at Wenzhu with a grudge:

"The third sister is a liar." "It's just three pieces of snack."

Wen Zhu said as a matter of course: "I only said that I would give you snacks, but I didn't say a few pieces." Ignoring the pouting twins, he turned his head and ordered a few maids to clean the hands of the young ladies, and divided the dim sum with Xiaoju and the twins.

I picked up the account book in Xiaomei's hand, put a stack of paper, and wrote ten large Arabic numerals with a pen.

Ordered those maids to come, one of them picked up a piece of paper and held it on his chest, these maids are the personal maids of each lady, but they are not afraid of their mouths.

Wen Zhu took out another piece of white paper, cut it into strips, and said with a smile: "Now let's make a game, but it's addition and subtraction within a hundred, my sister will come up with the question first, Xiaomei will answer, pick out the correct answer from these ten maids, if you can't answer it within ten breaths, you will put a note on your face." ”

Seeing that the younger sisters were still unknown, Wen Zhu coughed: "Twenty-seven plus thirty-six." Wen Xiaomei thought about it in her heart, and blurted out: "Sixty-three." Looking at a few maids, they were a little dizzy, and the numbers were not right for a while.

Ten breaths were fleeting, Wen Zhu unceremoniously pasted the note on Wen Xiaomei's face, Wen Xiaomei's fair and pink face had such a note on it was ridiculous, the twins were very amused, giggled, and said, "Sister, hurry up and come up with the question." ”

Wen Zhu said with a smile: "It's time for the fifth sister to come up with the question, the two of you answer together, the one who answers slowly will post a note, and within ten breaths, if you can't answer, you will stick a note together." ”

The twins didn't feel cheating, and immediately agreed, but Wen Xiaoju blinked, pursed her mouth, and waited to see the jokes of the two sisters.

After playing for an afternoon, the sisters were drenched in sweat, and there was no place for the twins to put paper on their faces, that is, their necks were all pasted, Wen Xiaoju was also very embarrassed, Wen Xiaomei had the least notes on her face, but it was also very ridiculous, how strange Wen Zhu did it intentionally, deliberately pasted three on the left and right sides of her face, plus the forehead, she was a tigress.

The Wen sisters are already extraordinary, and they can be proficient in using Arabic numerals for an afternoon of fun.

Wen Zhu saw that his younger sisters were sweating, so he said to Xiaomei, "Let's take them to the bath, and then go to visit the fourth sister." ”

Wen Xiaomei nodded, and led a few younger sisters to the bathhouse, Wen Zhu put away the stickers on the maids, and ordered them to wait for a few young ladies to bathe.

Carefully folded the notebook and put it in the sachet, Wen Zhu wandered to Wen Ju's room first. The two of them chatted, and after a while, Wen Xiaomei came over with a few sisters who had washed fragrantly.

One of the twins dominated Wen Ju's side and said ostentatiously: "Today, the third sister took us for an afternoon. ”

Wen Ju looked at Xiaomei suspiciously, and Xiaomei smiled: "If you learn some signs called numbers, it will be much easier to keep accounts in the future." ”

Wen Ju's eyes suddenly dimmed, Wen Zhu smiled and took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to her, saying, "But the ten numbers are here, so let them tell you." ”

Wen Ju's eyebrows were light, she happily took the sachet, opened it and took it out one by one, and every time she took out one, she heard several sisters read:

"1 is a brush, thin strips."

"2 is a duck, floating on water."

……

When the article came in, what I saw was such a lively scene, my eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, coughed twice, covered up my emotions, and said, "Zhu'er, you come out with me." ”
