I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Yuan sat there thinking about her luck. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she didn't kill them directly, it would bring her trouble. She really wanted to break their skulls into pieces.

Qu Ran lay by the door and quietly poked his head out.

"Third Miss, come in quickly." Jiang Yuan waved at Qu Ran.

The eldest princess has three daughters. Qu Ran is the youngest. She is just six years old this year. She doesn’t talk much, is rather shy, and is very thin.

Otherwise, at the fire scene that day, the equally thin Jiang Yuan would not have been able to hold her. Fortunately, she was young and small, and Jiang Yuan recovered some strength after a few days of exercise.

Qu Ran has been coughing ever since leaving the fire scene, but fortunately he did not suffer from asthma like in his previous life.

Qu Ying had brought her to play with Jiang Yuan twice, but the little girl was shy and this was the first time she came by herself.

The maid followed behind him and bowed to Jiang Yuan with a smile, "Miss Jiang."

Qu Ran walked to Jiang Yuan step by step. Jiang Yuan squatted down, raised his head and took her hand. Her hand was icy cold. "Why is it so cold?"

The maid replied, "I just came out to put a cloak on the girl. She doesn't want anything."

He poured a cup of hot water, and alternately poured it between the two cups. When it was no longer hot, he handed it to Qu Ran, "Warm your hands."

Qu Ran sat obediently, holding the cup in her little hands to keep warm.

"Is it because Qu Ying went to a private school and has no one to play with her, so she is bored?" Jiang Yuan asked the maid.

The maid nodded and explained, "The teacher gave me some math problems. After working on them for a while, I started to make a fuss."

Jiang Yuan had seen Qu Ying's math problems. In his previous life, Jiang Yuan had also learned to read accounts. The math methods here were different from those in modern times. They were relatively complicated and not as simple.

In addition, the numbers here are not simple Arabic numerals. It takes a while to recognize the characters, and you have to react again when calculating. It is indeed not that intuitive and easy.

When talking about math problems, Qu Ran pouted and it was obvious that she was unhappy.

"Sister Jiang is here to teach you arithmetic, okay?"

Qu Ran shook her head. No matter who taught her, it was useless. She just didn’t like it.

Jiang Yuan picked up Qu Ran, put her in front of the desk, and took out a pen and ink. "Then Shu'er, can you teach me how to write?"

Qu Ran looked at Jiang Yuan and said the first sentence of the day, "Sister Jiang, can't you write?"

Jiang Yuan hummed, and the maid covered her mouth and giggled, grinding ink beside her.

"So, what characters do you want to learn?"

"From one to ten, learn the simple ones first."

Qu Ran nodded, sat upright, picked up the pen, and wrote down ten words stroke by stroke. She read each word after writing it, and after reading it, she looked up and stared at Jiang Yuan, waiting for her to read it again.

After finishing writing all the words, Qu Ran pointed at them and tested Jiang Yuan.

When she got all the words right, Qu Ran clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Sister, you are amazing."

These two are just children teasing each other.

Jiang Yuan moved a stool, sat aside, picked up a pen, and wrote Arabic numerals under each word.

Qu Ran looked puzzled and pointed at one of them and asked, "What is this?"

"This is two. It means the same thing as the two you wrote."

The little girl shook her head. Jiang Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice, "Sister Jiang and Shu'er, let's make a pact, okay? This is a secret, a little secret between the two of us.

These symbols are our secret symbols, no one else can understand them, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Ran's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, then looked at her maid Yicui.

Yicui quickly covered her mouth and said very seriously, "Miss, I am in the same group with you, I promise not to tell anyone."

Qu Ran nodded with satisfaction, and said to Jiang Yuan confidently, "Yicui can be trusted."

"Well, if Shu'er believes it, I will believe it too."

"Thank you for your trust, Miss. Yicui will keep the secret."

Two older children, accompanied by a younger child, seemed to be playing some spy game.

Then, Qu Ran learned the Arabic numerals from one to ten very carefully, and quickly mastered how to write tens and hundreds.

Jiang Yuan taught for an entire afternoon. Qu Ran was very smart and had a basic knowledge, so he quickly mastered Arabic numerals.

The maid brought her math problems. She was currently learning addition and subtraction. Jiang Yuan taught her to first change those complicated words into simple Arabic letters, and then taught her addition and subtraction leading to ten.

In the evening, the princess checked Qu Ran's math problems and was surprised to find that she had gotten them all right.

"Shu'er was so good today. You finished it so quickly. Did anyone help you?" The eldest princess knew that Qu Ran had asked Jiang Yuan to play with her today, so she couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Yuan helped her.

Qu Ran shook her head.

The eldest princess asked again, "Did Sister Jiang help?"

Qu Ran's eyes widened, "Of course not, Sister Jiang couldn't even read, I was the one who taught her."

Mother Cui stood aside with a frown on her face, looking at Yicui who was standing beside her, and she was giggling with her hands covering her mouth.

Seeing this, Qu Ran said to the eldest princess, "I am playing with Sister Jiang, and I have to keep the secret. Mother, please don't ask. Shu'er can't be a traitor."

The princess smiled kindly, hugged Qu Ran, and repeatedly assured him, "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

After leaving Qu Ran's courtyard, Yi Cui followed out and explained, "Don't worry, Princess. It was Miss Jiang who taught you arithmetic. She used simple and strange symbols, but it is easy to understand."

As she spoke, Yicui took out a piece of rough paper with the calculation process on it. Yicui took it secretly. Jiang Yuan saw it and said nothing. This thing could not be hidden at all. Once you know it, you will know it.

Chinese characters evolved gradually from individual symbols, and secret codes are often used to convey messages. This is normal.

The eldest princess didn't understand, but expressed her respect. As long as she could learn it, the method didn't matter. If this method was good, perhaps Qu Ying's arithmetic could be saved.

Mother Cui came back from the Jiang Mansion, and the eldest princess asked the maid to invite her over. Jiang Yuan was in the yard, watching the guards carrying boxes of things.

As soon as she entered the house, Mother Cui took out some things and handed them to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Everything has been counted. The remaining one-third of the dowry has been carried to the girl's yard. You can check it when you go back.

The rest, Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang and others took some out from their rooms. "Mother Cui was really meticulous in her work, she recorded it on a separate piece of paper.

These were also part of the dowry, but they were taken away by them.

Aunt Qiu took away a jade statue of Guanyin, and some jewelry. Jiang Wan also took away jewelry. She said she also took away two calligraphy and paintings, which she gave to the Prince of Jin.

Jiang Hao had some toys and ornaments, and Jiang's father took away some calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.

The things that could be recovered were recovered, and for those that could not be recovered, Mother Cui wrote them down separately and estimated the price one by one.

"This is the estimated amount of missing dowry, a total of more than 137,000 taels."

The eldest princess took a look at the dowry list, and when she heard the number, her cheeks twitched involuntarily.
