Chapter 115 A Few or Three Things About the Household Secretary

"Xiaohuan, you should feel at ease now. You looked anxious just now. You don't have the restraint that a lady should have." In the water pavilion, Gao Yingyu looked at the banquet, and then teased.

"I, I didn't expect that Grandpa Qin would suddenly test them on arithmetic." Zhong Xinhuan retorted in a low voice with some embarrassment.But no matter how it sounds, it feels a little guilty.

Even though it was guessed that Ye Chu had no choice but to give up because he could not do math.However, the feelings of a girl are always in spring, and in her subconscious mind, she always wonders whether the other party did this on purpose because of her presence.

"When will Xiao Chen know how to count?" Seeing that Zhou Chen over there had already answered two questions correctly in a row, Qin Wanqing's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Hmph, if he knows how to do math, unless the sun comes out from the west. Even if he knows a little bit, he will never be able to do it so quickly." Zhou Jing sneered.

As her own sister, she couldn't be more clear about her brother's level.

Hearing this, Qin Wanqing glanced at Ye Chu lightly, thoughtfully.

At this moment, two sneaky figures suddenly appeared in front of them.Not long after, it was already close to the edge of the waterside pavilion.

"Third Uncle, Third Brother, why did you come here?" Qin Wanqing asked in surprise when she saw that it was Qin Hong and Qin Yan who came here.

"I've met Princess Nishang." Standing outside the waterside pavilion, the two of them first greeted Zhou Jing, and then Qin Hong couldn't help but drag Qin Yan into the waterside pavilion together.

Seeing Qin Hong who walked in carelessly, Zhong Xinhuan and Gao Yingyu also looked over curiously.This Third Lord Qin has a very good reputation in Jinling.But because of their seniority, they haven't had much contact with them before.

"Grandpa and Second Uncle have been looking for you for a long time just now. Did they go drinking again? He smelled of alcohol." Seeing Third Uncle sitting directly next to her, and the smell of alcohol pouring into her nose, Qin Wanqing couldn't help but frowned. frown.

And the smell of alcohol made the other two women gently cover their noses.

Afterwards, Qin Wanqing personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and handed it over.

"Oh, it's hard to say." Qin Hong sighed while drinking tea.

Seeing the third uncle's expression of "If you want to ask again, I'll make it up for you", Qin Wanqing knew that this was the old routine again, so she simply didn't ask.

On the contrary, Zhou Jing looked at Qin Hong's scoundrel and shook her head helplessly.

Unlike her younger brother Zhou Chen, although Qin Hong seems ordinary and unassuming, in fact he has a good relationship with many scholars.

At the banquet, arithmetic is still going on.

"Tsk tsk, Ye Chu, I didn't realize that you are also proficient in this obscure arithmetic." Zhou Chen finally understood at this moment.

If being right against one is considered luck, then being right three times in a row is not luck, but strength.

Not only that, but Zhou Chen also discovered a terrifying detail. Every time a question came out, the other students had to think for a while, but Ye Chu had already given him the answer lightly.

Just like the question just now, it was a pheasant, a rabbit, and a leg. He didn't even understand the question, but Ye Chu had already told him the answer.

"I don't seem to have said that I don't know how to do math. I'm not targeting anyone with this introductory elementary school mathematics course. I want to say that everyone here is..." Ye Yu turned into a big brother and said in a taunt.

"Elementary school mathematics?" Hearing Ye Yu's words, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Speaking of this, I just remembered that when I went to see the emperor with my father last year, I saw the prince had a book in the palace. The book is about the same as what you said."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Yu's eyes jumped, "Do you still remember what it said?"

"I'm not interested in arithmetic, so I don't remember it. If it wasn't for that brat insisting on showing off in front of me, I wouldn't even bother to look at it." Zhou Chen rolled his eyes.

"Hey, think about it more carefully." Ye Chu asked.

Seeing that Ye Chu was so caring, Zhou Chen finally gave him a suspicious look, but seeing that his eager expression did not seem to have ulterior motives, after thinking about it, he still revealed a little news.

"I really forgot. But Uncle Huang also gave my sister a copy."

Hmph, I think it's actually given to you, right?Your uncle is eager to let you study this stuff for the rest of your life.

Ye Chu smiled inwardly, and then asked, "What about now?"

"Now, I heard from my sister that I gave it to Sister Qing'er again. If you want to see it, go find Sister Qing'er yourself." Zhou Chen smiled treacherously.

Damn, I've been talking for a long time.Ye Chu said that he wanted to hit someone now.

Forget it, when I meet the Princess, I will write a few Arabic numerals to see if she recognizes her.If you don’t know me, then you’ll think I’m superstitious, but if you know me, then a lot of things will be exposed.

Chances may exist in a sketch, but never in Arabic numerals.

Ye Chu trembled faintly at the thought that he would discover a shocking secret in a short time.

Just when Ye Yu fell into self-indulgence, all the eliminated students made voices of unwillingness.

"Uncle Zhong, isn't the stipulated time too short? If you give me the time for half a stick of incense, I can definitely figure it out."

"That's right, I'm about to figure it out, but the time has come."

"Hmph, everyone is at the same time, Brother Qian, Brother Zhu, don't you want to say that Mr. Qin is unfair?" Shen Ziyan looked coldly at those who spoke against him, and then gave another heavy blow, "Or, You have opinions on the regulations made by His Highness the Crown Prince. If you have forgotten, Mr. Qin has said that this is an oral order from the Holy Majesty."

Having said that, Shen Ziyan did not continue.He knew that these people knew what he wanted to express.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ziyan's words fell, those people's expressions immediately changed, and they fell silent.

On the seat, Mr. Qin watched the scene, still looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and said nothing.

But Zhong Nanshan was very upset.

These little bastards, even I dare to question them.Hmph, when I have a chance, I will crush you to death with money.

"The fourth question. This question is original by His Royal Highness, and the language is relatively simple." Seeing that the fourth question is completely different from the doggerel of the first three questions, Zhong Nanshan twitched the corner of his mouth, and then read.

"Shangshu Hubu sold straw sandals at home when he was a child. A pair of shoes cost [-] renminbi, and they were sold for [-] renminbi. The old Wang next door came to buy shoes and gave him a bracelet worth a tael of silver. The minister had no change, so he asked his concubine to exchange it for a tael. Afterwards, the concubine found out that the bracelet was fake and made a fuss, so she gave the concubine another tael. May I ask how much the household secretary lost in total?"

After listening to Zhong Nanshan's words, not only the faces of all the students were weird, but even Mr. Qin was in a good mood.

"I'll go, what is the enmity between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Minister of the Household Department? There is so much information in it!" Ye Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

"The old king and concubine next door are the key points." Zhou Chen, like an old driver, affirmed.
