Governor Zhao spoke, and the others naturally wanted to follow suit, praising Cheng Zhen and lifting Cheng Zi'an by the way.

Gao Tai can reach out to pick up the stars, and if he holds it again, Cheng Zi'an will be able to fly into the sky.

Although Cheng Zhen was smiling and modest and polite, with Cheng Zi'an's battle of wits and courage with him during this time, it was clear that he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

can't be embarrassed, can't be embarrassed by Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zi'an kept this in mind, took a deep breath, with an innocent smile on his face, and replied crisply: "Governor Zhao, children don't know how to memorize the poems of the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

As soon as the words fell, the hustle and bustle under the high platform seemed to be cut off by an invisible wall, and the surroundings were instantly quiet.

can't recite poems so reasonably, it's also a kind of bravery.

The ignorant are fearless!

Everyone's expressions were very exciting for a while, and Governor Zhao was also stunned, and his smile froze on his face.

Cheng Zhen's smile was also faintly embarrassed, he never expected that although he didn't let Cheng Zi'an compose poems, he let him recite poems.

Partial, he answered so simply, looking at his momentum, as if it was a great thing not to be able to recite poems.

Cheng Zi'an opened his mouth again, his dark eyes looked at Zhao Zhifu, and said expectantly: "Zhao Zhifu, the child can recite ninety-nine songs and do arithmetic!" Governor Zhao, Xiao'er will recite it to you, you can test my arithmetic. ”

Governor Zhao nodded in a daze, and Cheng Zi'an immediately recited it loudly and crisply: "One by one, one by one, one by two, two by two......."

Mengtong's class has learned "Arithmetic Enlightenment", and it is not surprising that Cheng Zi'an can recite ninety-nine songs.

But he couldn't stand his momentum and spirited little appearance, as if he had done something great.

Cheng Zi'an was chubby, and he still learned to carry his hands like an adult, his round head swayed, and the bag on his head shook with him. With a red face and long eyelashes that blink from time to time, he looks very childish and cute.

Governor Zhao's smile became thicker and thicker, Cheng Zi'an finished his recital, and looked at him with his eyes, his smart eyes seemed to be shouting: "Quickly test me to learn, quickly test me to learn!" ”

Living up to Cheng Zi'an's expectations, Governor Zhao began to solve arithmetic problems.

At first, the question was relatively simple, but it was an addition or subtraction within ten, but hearing Cheng Zi'an's quick and accurate answer, Zhao Zhifu was quite surprised, and the question gradually deepened.

In the end, Cheng Zi'an also answered quickly and accurately within the addition and subtraction of less than 100. Governor Zhao was very impressed with Cheng Zi'an at this time, he didn't have to calculate the chips, after hearing the question, his dark eyes paused, and then blinked a few times, as if he was quickly turning his brain to calculate the answer.

Zhao Zhifu was born as a jinshi, and his arithmetic when he was studying was not very good. When he became an official, he realized the importance of arithmetic.

Arithmetic is not only about calculating the geometry of taxes, but also about the actual situation of a state and a government through the amount. If the imperial court really strengthens the evaluation on this, it is useless to let the political achievements be compiled.

The crowd around saw Cheng Zi'an's response, and their expressions were very complicated and difficult to distinguish.

The imperial examination is mainly a subset of the examination of scriptures and history, poetry and songs, and policy articles, and the proportion of arithmetic in the imperial examination is very small, almost negligible.

Li Brown heard Governor Zhao's praise, and laughed with him: "It's even more powerful than the old account room that has accumulated for years, and you can count it without counting chips." ”

This sentence is really unkind when you study it carefully.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, no matter how powerful Mr. Accounts is, he is just a subordinate who works for the rich and noble. In the end, what can be put on the stage is poetry and history.

How could Cheng Zi'an not understand that Li Palm was doing business in the mansion, and he actually looked down on Mr. Bookkeeper. How important is finance, if he were to replace him, he would be able to make accounts and hollow out the Li family!

Cheng Zi'an also knows that the root cause of Li Brown's disdain for Mr. Bookkeeper is that the class of Da Zhou is clear, and Mr. Bookkeeper is a servant, and a servant is the master. Naturally inferior.

Ignoring Li Brown, Cheng Zi'an looked at Governor Zhao ignorantly and asked, "Don't you need to calculate the taxes of the yamen?" ”

Everyone paused again, and the smile on Li Brown's face was almost unbearable.

Governor Zhao glanced at Li Brown and said with a smile: "Zi'an is right, not only the taxes of the yamen must be used in arithmetic, but the ministers of the household department of the imperial court, if they don't know arithmetic, how can they manage the wealth of the world." ”

Cheng Zi'an immediately became happy, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and his childish appearance made Zhao Zhifu laugh non-stop.

If you learn arithmetic well, you can not only be a bookkeeper, but also an official of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, but also count the river workers and pay taxes and silver.

Even if there is a background relationship, if you don't understand arithmetic at all, you will make a mistake and be calculated if you are not careful.

With the final decision of Governor Zhao, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone began to praise Cheng Zi'an, and also praised Cheng Zhen, the tiger father has no dog.

The hour was not early, and Governor Zhao personally gave a reward to the dragon boat team that won the first place, and after a few words of praise, he got up and went home.

Everyone hugged Governor Zhao and left, Cheng Zhen and Cheng Zi'an stepped aside and walked last.

Xin Jinian waited in front of the tent, and when he saw Cheng Zi'an and Cheng Zhen coming, his eyes were very complicated, and finally he raised his head in disdain, stomped heavily on the ground, and plunged into the tent.

Cheng Zi'an tilted his head and smiled proudly, causing Cheng Zhen to look sideways at him from time to time, wanting to speak and stopping, and finally bluffed him with a face: "Hugh is naughty!" ”

"Daddy, I'm not naughty." After Cheng Zi'an finished arguing, he asked anxiously: "Daddy, I didn't embarrass you, did I?" ”

Cheng Zhen was stunned, and immediately smiled: "The face you can lose has already been lost." ”

Cheng Zi'an sighed and screamed: "When did I disgrace Daddy?" ”

Cheng Zhen sighed and said, "Have you learned all your homework?" ”

It's not interesting to mention this, Cheng Zi'an shut up.

Cheng Zhen was generally satisfied with Cheng Zi'an's previous response, although his performance was a little biased. Especially the fact that he is generous and has no stage fright is enough to impress him.

Since Cheng Zi'an is smart, Cheng Zhen is bent on breaking him to the right path, and takes this opportunity to educate him: "You can study well in the future, you are still young, and you can't recite poems in front of everyone, which is understandable." When it's bigger, I can't say anything, where to put my face? ”

Cheng Zi'an pursed his lips and snickered.

In that case, come on, hurt each other.

Cheng Zi'an turned his head and pointed to the high platform, and said enviously: "Daddy, if you pass the Chunqiu exam and become the prefect, you can sit on the main seat above, and there are a lot of people surrounding you, I won't be called out to recite poems." ”

Cheng Zhen: "......"

Cheng Zi'an sighed loudly, and persuaded in a serious tone: "Daddy, don't care about my studies, I'm still young." You are about to take the spring exam, you must concentrate on studying, be the top student in high school, and become a big official. ”

Cheng Zhen: "......"

Cheng Zi'an: "Daddy, the good life of me and my mother in the future depends on you, Daddy, you have to work hard!" ”

Cheng Zhen's hands are very itchy, if it weren't for Cui Suniang and her relatives surrounding him, he would definitely beat this little bastard!
