Hu Yan's expectant eyes flickered, his fox eyes were tinged with a faint smile, and he explained to Tuanzi again in a soft voice,

That is to say, there is a ten-foot-thick wall, and two mice dig holes from both sides of the wall towards the middle. The big mouse digs one foot on the first day, and the little mouse also digs one foot on the first day.

The big rats dug twice as many holes each day as the day before, while the small rats dug half as many holes each day as the day before.

Ask them how many days it will take for them to meet again, and how much they fight when they meet?

Jiang An held the brush and thought for a while. Huo Changming beside him was also fiddling with his fingers, muttering to himself.

Seeing that she was about to write, Hu Yan walked to her side to watch. The more he watched, the more unpredictable the expression on her face became.

She didn't seem to be solving a problem, but rather performing a ritual...

After half a cup of tea, there was another black mess on the paper. Jiang An threw away his pen and looked at the old fox. He first complained,

"Why are these two mice digging holes together? Do they want to be neighbors?"

Hu Yan: …

Seeing that the old fox couldn't say anything, Jiang An quickly put the question behind him. He scratched his white and tender cheek with his black claws and said while counting on his fingers,

"The two mice met on the fourth day. The big mouse dug a hole seven feet long in the first three days, while the small mouse dug a hole one foot and three quarters long. On the fourth day, only one foot and a quarter was left."

"So it's the fourth day!"

Jiang An spoke faster than he thought. He was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking. He grabbed the fur ball with his little hands.

Rats of different sizes, hard to tell apart~

Hu Yan nodded, "Correct!"

Huo Changming opened his mouth wide, "Sister is so awesome!"

Hearing this, our Master Hu chuckled, turned around and sat back in the first seat, waved his hand in a good mood, and said, "That's all for today, you two can review on your own."

Jiang An, Huo Changming: !!

Hu Yan leaned to one side, his blue shirt's wide sleeves draped over his legs, his eyes flickering, "Of course, the teacher will leave you some homework..."

Jiang An, Huo Changming: ...It's too early to be happy...

After receiving their respective assignments, the two kids were driven out of the yard.

Hu Yan took the rice paper that Tuanzi had used and looked at it carefully. He reached out to touch the ink on the paper, trying to figure out how Jiang An could solve the math problem in such a short time.

After looking for a long time, my eyes became sore, but I still couldn't find the solution.

He folded the rice paper and put it away, smiling with relief.

When the current Concubine Dowager was still a noble concubine, although she was a woman, she was very capable and gave birth to two sons for the late emperor. The second prince was kind-hearted and had the talent to manage the country and save the world. The ninth prince, Jiang Jichen, was young and good at riding a horse across the border, and his literary and military skills were not inferior to his elder brother.

Now this boy is a gifted little prodigy, and it is normal for him to act like this in front of his family!

After school, the two kids went back to Tuanzi's yard together.

Jiang An looked at the homework he was copying, then at the math problem in Huo Changming's hand, and suddenly had a very good idea...

Huo Changming played with Tuanzi in the palace until his family came to look for him at dinner time, and then he left reluctantly.

Jiang An waved his hand as he saw him off, "Brother, see you tomorrow~"

Suddenly, he wasn't so reluctant anymore...

The young master got on the carriage holding the toys his sister had given him. When he saw that the person coming was his mother, he immediately pouty his lips.

"Mother~"

Mrs. Huo held the account book in one hand and glanced at her son, "If you keep howling, I'll throw you down!"

Huo Changming said "Oh" and sat down obediently, "Mom, why do I have to come to the Zhenguo Palace to study?"

He hasn't been in trouble recently!

Mrs. Huo put down the account book and said, "The prince said that Miss An An was bored studying alone, so he specially invited you to go with her."

"Your father packed you up and sent you away..."

Huo Changming:!

!

The young master's glass heart was shattered. It was actually Sister An An who asked him to come to the palace to study!

He decided not to talk to his sister tomorrow!

……

On the second day,

Huo Changming came to Hu Yan's yard again, carrying a cloth bag across his shoulder. The gold lock on his neck jingled as his owner ran.

He held the date paste shortbread that his mother had made for him, and shouted with a cheerful look in his eyes,

"Sister, An An sister!"

"My mother made delicious food!"

The sturdy young master pushed the shortbread to Tuanzi, "This shortbread is made with golden thread jujubes, it's so fragrant, you should try it!"

The biscuit was still warm when he got it, and the smell drove away Jiang An's sleepiness.

She stuffed it into her mouth with a groan, her round eyes sparkling,

"Good times!"

When you put the biscuit in your mouth, it is soft and not crumbly, and the crispy skin melts into crumbs in your mouth. The aroma of oil dissipates and is replaced by the fragrance of dates. When you chew it carefully, you can taste the slight sweetness of dates, and it is not greasy at all!

She grabbed a biscuit and handed it to Huo Changming, smiling with her eyes curved. Good things should of course be shared!

Seeing his sister enjoying the meal, Huo Changming also ate a few, leaving a lingering taste in his mouth.

The ingredients of this jujube paste shortbread are precious. The cook only made these, and he gave them all to his sister. He has not tasted them yet.

When Hu Yan entered the room with the book in his arms, he saw two dirty dolls.

The corners of the two little ones' mouths and hands were covered with shortbread crumbs.

Then I looked at my desk, where three delicate pastries were quietly lying on the oil paper.

I haven't forgotten him as my teacher...

Hu Yan put down his things, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the older Huo Changming, and scolded with a smile: "Two greedy cats!"

The two little ones laughed. Huo Changming took the lead in wiping his sister clean, and then he rubbed her a few times with a handkerchief.

"Have you finished the homework assigned yesterday?"

"finished!"

Hu Yan stretched out his hand, "Then I'll check it..."

After a moment, he looked at the math problem with the correct answer in his right hand, and the calligraphy copy in his left hand with fairly neat handwriting, and smiled.

Laughed in anger!

Mr. Hu took a deep breath, put down his two homework assignments, and looked at Jiang An with his fox eyes.

The latter looks at the sky, the ground, and the small plants in the house, but never at himself.

He turned his head, and Huo Changming did the same...

Hu Yan picked up the ruler and hit the homework with it, his voice stretched out, "You two, explain it to me?"

"Whose handwriting is on this copybook?"

"Whose handwriting is this black spot on the math problem?"

With Tuanzi's very distinctive handwriting, you dare to change the homework? !

Seeing that the exchange of classes was discovered, Jiang Anyi said righteously, "Military Advisor, this is called rational use of juice!"

"It's a great help to make my brother and I have our own specialties!"

Hu Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you still think you're right?"

He snorted and laughed, and decided to use his ultimate move.

Find the parents!

After a stick of incense, the prince who had returned from the military camp and Mrs. Huo who was doing the accounts at her own restaurant came to this small courtyard.

Jiang Jichen was holding a math problem solved by Tuanzi, and Mrs. Huo was holding a calligraphy copy by Huo Changming.

Mrs. Huo opened her red lips slightly, revealing a taste of gnashing teeth, "I was wondering last night why Military Advisor Hu would leave such a simple homework for Changming..."

It turned out that the two kids were playing tricks!

Hu Yan drank a sip of tea calmly, "Mrs. Huo, don't be angry, it's just a child..."

Oh, I have to let you know how I've been spending the past two days!

Jiang Jichen turned his eyes away from the mess of math problems that he had solved correctly, and waved for his daughter to come over.

The obedient Tuanzi stepped on his short legs with a timid look in his eyes, but he still explained to the pretty aunt.

"It was An An's idea. Don't be angry, pretty auntie~"

She called me beautiful aunt!

How come this lovely girl isn’t hers?

Mrs. Huo's pretty face bloomed with a smile, "Okay, Auntie is not angry~"

Hu Yan (expressionless): Standpoint! Where is your standpoint?

Jiang Jichen stroked his daughter's head soothingly, looked at her with narrow eyes, and asked softly, "Did An calculate all these himself?"

Jiang An nodded his head, "Yes!"

Jiang Jichen thought his daughter was smart enough after learning the Thousand Character Classic in just over a month, but he didn't expect her to have such a talent in mathematics.

Then the old father frowned again, inexplicably worried, "I have been writing for more than a month, why is the handwriting still like this?"

"But is there any problem with your copying of the calligraphy written by me?"

Hu Yan on the side rolled his eyes silently.

Well, well, he is a smart coach, so when he encounters his daughter's problem, he should first look for the cause in himself, right?

"I taught you step by step, and the result is the same!"

Sober up!

Jiang Jichen put down his homework indifferently, and said in a calm but firm voice, "It's okay, as long as you can figure out the characters, my daughter doesn't need to take the imperial examination..."

The prince stood up and hugged his daughter, "I'm going to take An out of the house, do you want to go with me?"

This question is for Hu Yan.

The latter's mouth twitched, and his understanding of the prince's doting on his child rose to a new level. He stood up, straightened his shirt, and bowed to the prince.

"Then please wait for me, Your Majesty, and put on some thick clothes!"

Hu Yan walked to the inner room, and Mrs. Huo took Huo Changming by the hand and left the house...
