Chapter Eighty-Three: The Problem of Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage in Ancient Times

As a qualified melon-eating crowd, Huang Tinghui gradually withdrew behind everyone.

This kind of thing, he still doesn't want to fight.

Although it is to be appreciated by the county master, Huang Tinghui thinks it is better to keep a low profile.

Just when Huang Tinghui thinks that this is another clichΓ© "literary talent" competition time.

The county lord said to Huang Tinghui: "This problem is also what I read from a book!" ”

"As for the answer to the question, the official is also puzzled."

"So I took this opportunity today to see if I could get the answer."

Well?

Isn't it a pair, a poem or a lyricist?

Huang Tinghui came with a hint of interest, he looked at the county master and waited for the following.

"This is entitled: There are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage today, with thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four feet on the bottom.

"It's just a few words, but it makes the official rack his brains, and he doesn't know how to solve it!"

"Very distressed!"

After speaking, the county lord sighed.

Of course, what he said was not the truth, but his immediate boss suddenly asked the county lord this question one day.

What is the identity of the county lord?

Jinshi was born!

In this era of prosperity in culture and education, the entrance examination is more focused on eight shares.

In order to be admitted to the Jinshi, how could a scholar like the county master spend effort to study other things?

After finishing the Jinshi exam, the county master was obsessed with his career again.

Who has the time to study what arithmetic problems?

Isn't that full of food and support?

So after the prefect asked this question, the county lord didn't know how to answer for a while.

He could only tell the prefect that this question was very difficult, and let him think about it for a few more days.

Okay!

At that time, although it was said that it was prevaricated in the past, the problem always had to be solved!

So the county lord listened to what his master said and made this decision.

See if there are any smart people who can help him answer this question.

This is also a dead horse that the county lord has become a live horse doctor, and there is no way to do it.

If the prefect asks this question again, the county lord can't answer it with a few more days of thinking.

After hearing what the county lord said, Huang Tinghui's eyes lit up.

Math problems?

I didn't expect that the county lord was not a pair, nor did he let everyone write poems and lyrics.

It's a math problem!

Huang Tinghui became interested for a while, after all, this is the famous "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem in later generations.

It stands to reason that this problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" comes from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

The Nine Chapters of Arithmetic was written around the first century AD.

As long as you have read some miscellaneous books, it should not be particularly difficult to solve this problem.

However, since the county lord has thought about this topic, he should obviously have consulted a lot of books.

With the energy of the county master, it should not be difficult to find the answer to the question of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage".

Could it be that because of the change of history, "Nine Chapters of Counting" was lost?

Huang Tinghui's thoughts drifted far away, until the Lu Gongzi next to him frowned and said over and over again: "It's too difficult, it's too difficult!" ”

"That's a tough question!"

"It seems that I have no chance with the county lord's lantern today!"

"What a pity!" Lu Daoming said as he made an extremely regretful expression.

Don't look at the county magistrate's film and television dramas in later generations, it is just the official position of sesame mung bean point.

But in reality, this is not the case, the county lord is the parent official in charge of one side.

How many people live on the snort of the county master.

This is also the reason why Lu Daoming feels pity.

"Brother Daoming, do you want to get the lantern of the county master?"

Huang Tinghui said to Lu Daoming.

"Naturally, I want to, but this question is too difficult to solve!"

"I don't have anything to do with that lantern!"

Lu Daoming sighed, and he said helplessly.

"If Brother Daoming wants to get the lantern, how about Tinghui get it for you?"

Huang Tinghui said confidently.

"Where do you say you want to get it, you can get it, you have to solve the puzzle left by the county lord first, and then you can get the lantern!"

"Wait......" Lu Daoming suddenly realized something, and he looked at Huang Tinghui with a shocked expression.

Is this the question!

Could it be that he solved such a difficult arithmetic problem?

Lu Daoming's face was full of incredulity, "Brother Tinghui, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Daoming asked Huang Tinghui in an uncertain tone.

"It's not a difficult question!"

"I figured it out just now, otherwise why would Ting Hui ask this question?"

Huang Tinghui said to Lu Daoming.

"Really?"

"Nature is true!" Huang Tinghui nodded again.

But at this time, Lu Daoming fell into silence.

After a long time, Lu Daoming replied: "Brother Tinghui, it's not that Daoming is pedantic, and it's not that Daoming doesn't know your good intentions. ”

"It's just that my father once taught Daoming that it wasn't something he got it, and even if he got it, he had nothing to show off."

"Now although Daoming likes the lantern in the county master's hand, he can't get the lantern in this way."

"Brother Daoming, you can go and get this thing first!"

Although there were some regrets, Lu Daoming still said to Huang Tinghui.

"This is my husband!" Chen Qiuniang grabbed Lu Daoming's arm, and she said to Lu Daoming with a smile.

"What my husband said is right, if the lantern can be obtained, it is my husband's ability."

"If you can't get it, it's fate!"

"You can't ignore anything else because you want to."

"Huang Gongzi, since you have solved the problem, go and talk to the county master."

"If you take the lantern, we will be happy and happy."

Don't look at Chen Qiuniang's swaggering appearance all the time, but when she encounters a situation like the one now.

She will still choose to stand by her husband's side and speak for her husband.

"Husband, the lantern is very beautiful!"

At this time, the little girl also came out and said a word.

Huang Tinghui turned his head, and he pinched the little girl's face.

"Lian'er, do you want the lantern?" Huang Tinghui asked the little girl.

He didn't expect that the little girl would want the lantern too.

If he had known the little girl's mind earlier, he would have kept a low profile!

Wouldn't it be nice to just take it over?

"Yes, husband!"

"It's almost the New Year, and the villagers are hanging lanterns."

"Not in our house!"

"The new house should be equipped with new lanterns, and they won't dare to talk nonsense."

"That lantern is also the county master's, and the patriarch and Uncle Erzhu will definitely be very happy." The little girl nodded and said.

Huang Tinghui thought about it for a while, the last time Chen Yuanwai visited Huangjia Village, the old patriarch was very happy.

If the lantern is won back today, the patriarch doesn't know how happy he will be!

If the old patriarch knew about today's events, he would have had a good year.

Thinking of the old patriarch's care for himself on weekdays, Huang Tinghui rolled up his sleeves.

Low-key yarn!

Just do it, how can there be so many ideas?
