The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

The ninth question was complicated, and Xiao Hongli specifically asked Linxi to light two incense sticks before and after. It was also at the end that Song Guanzhou said he had answered it, and Xiao Cang followed.

The answers from the two of them were not one page like before, but two pages this time.

This question has seven small questions, covering corn, loss points, and equal distribution. Among them, corn only contains the conversion amounts of various types of grain. Song Guanzhou took a long time to familiarize himself with it.

In this place, she lagged behind Xiao Cang for quite some time.

Fortunately, after figuring out the conversion method, the first three questions were about the exchange of coarse rice, glutinous rice, glutinous rice, imperial rice, small rice, large rice, beans, mulberry, hemp, fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and sesame. The conversion of dou and sheng was quick.

There were also some weight units that were different from modern ones. After she asked about the conversion method, she felt like a fish in water.

Basically, I fiddle with the abacus with my left hand and copy the answers with my right hand.

As for "Shuifen" and "Junshu", one can tell at a glance that they were written by Pei Jian. The title covers a lot of population conversions, distances, and the price of grain, including many reasonable arrangements for taxes and labor.

Needless to say, the title alone takes up several pages.

The Pei and Xiao families, including the cousins ​​Xu Lingqiao and Hua Chonglou, all knew how to write, but after listening to all of them, they all felt dizzy.

As for the male guests, except for Huang Zhi, Xu Lingbai and a few others who still insisted on following along to answer the questions, the rest of them basically put down their pens and ink. Originally, they were not allowed to whisper to each other, but as time went on, Pei Jian and a few other elders who were also examiners simply let them do what they wanted, only asking them to keep their voices down.

Jiang Buyi looked at the question and couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's a pity that no one from the Ministry of Revenue came today."

Lin Moyun took a sip of tea. He was only in his thirties and was very gentle and refined. "You probably don't know. Otherwise, I know about Lord Sun. He has always liked to recruit talents for the court network."

"I'm afraid he can't recruit the two people in front of him. The Xiao family is a big family with many merchants. They finally trained Wu Lang, the accountant, but he has made great achievements in just one or two years. The Xiao family can't let go of such talents. As for Ji Zhang's virtuous wife..."

Jiang Buyi said nothing. Lin Moyun looked over and sighed in his heart.

If he were a man, he wouldn't necessarily be inferior to Pei An, right?

Song Guanzhou didn't pay attention to these. She used up stacks of draft paper. Pei An not only helped her read the questions, but also tore the papers. However, when he saw all kinds of symbols and numbers that Song Guanzhou had never seen before, he became suspicious.

Is this why it can't be made public?

He wanted to ask several times, but knew it was not the right place. When he was tired of tearing the papers, Song Guanzhou asked Rendong to get a brazier, throw all the crumbs and paper into it, and burn them all.

Jin Fuyun lowered her eyes. What secrets does the Song family have that are unknown to the public?

The evaluation results of the ninth question came out. Huang Zhi, Xu Lingbai and Liu Furan answered three or five questions correctly. Surprisingly, Xiao Cang only answered five questions correctly.

And Song Guanzhou was completely right!

During the test, Qin Ge'er took the questions that the adults had memorized and pondered them with Liu Xian and Ling Ge'er. Liu Xian held his forehead and said, "These are too complicated and tedious. I can't do them. You two should work harder and see if you can figure out one or two of them."

The white-faced servant boy serving Liu Xian took a few glances and memorized a few numbers. Qin Ge'er took a pen and wrote them down. When he heard the answers, he found that all the previous questions about corn exchange were correct.

"Haha, Shiguang, you can actually calculate?"

The white-faced servant bowed his head and answered humbly, "Master Ten, I am just a blind cat that has caught a dead mouse..."

"Hun said."

Liu Xian pointed at the candidates who had slumped in their chairs long ago, "Why can't they touch it?" He did not hold back his voice. Moreover, Qin Dalang and Qin Erlang were sitting next to him. They looked over when they heard his voice and said, "Why, did Brother Xian get the answer right?"

"It's not me, it's Shiguang."

He pushed the skinny, pale-faced servant boy to the front, and before the two Qin brothers could ask, Liu Furan beside him heard, "Can Shiguang solve it?"

This Shi Guang was originally Liu Xian's personal eunuch.

When he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, the last time Liu Xian fell from the waterfall, he was about to jump after him, but it was Song Guanzhou who pulled him behind.

Afterwards, he returned to the palace. For someone like him, it would have been lucky to be able to keep his life. How could he dare to hope to continue serving the Tenth Prince?

Unexpectedly, the Tenth Prince took the blame several times in front of the Holy Empress and kept him here on his own.

He stood behind Liu Xian, but kept his eyes on the fairy-like Fourth Young Master's wife opposite him.

This is his benefactor.

Qin Dalang patted the young eunuch's shoulder and almost knocked the thin body to the ground. He not only took care of Liu Xian's food and daily life, but was also a disciple trained by a master from the palace. Many times he could resist one or two invaders.

"I didn't expect you could do mental arithmetic. They had paper, pens and abacus, but you had nothing. How could you answer it?"

"My Lord, my parents used to sell meat in the market, and I was calculating a lot when I followed them."

He was nine years old when he entered the palace.

Liu Xian tilted his head and said, "I've never heard you mention it. If you're a butcher, you should have some money. Why did you sell you in?"

Shi Guang grinned, "Tenth Young Master, the past and future are not surprising. My father was killed while collecting pigs, leaving my mother pregnant. The tribe members bullied and drove her out. She was on the verge of death. It happened to be a shopping season, so I volunteered to come in."

In fact, the purchase price is much higher than outside.

Sometimes, life is so difficult.

Qin Dalang didn't care about that, he just said to Liu Xian, "Take good care of him. If Shiguang has the ability in the future, it would be nice to let him manage your private treasury."

Shiguang stood on the side with his back hunched, like a sapling that had not grown straight.

Liu Xian nodded, "Shiguang, you can hear what Master Qin said. You used to study with me, so don't be lazy in the future."

If the occasion wasn't wrong, Shi Guang would definitely kneel down to express his gratitude.

"Brother Xian, do you feel tired?"

Looking at Xiao Cang and Song Guanzhou, the two began to answer the tenth question. Liu Xian rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "I want to see Fourth Aunt win."

Qin Qingdong listened to Xiao Hongyun reading the questions above him, and Xiao Bei and others following him and writing them down. Many of them had already gone out to walk around and stretch their bodies.

Seeing this, Liu Xian handed it to Qin Qingdong.

"Will you walk with me for a while?"

How could Qin Qingdong not obey? He pulled Liu Xian away from the lotus pond. Seeing this, Jin Fuyun sat down and found an excuse. She said something to Jiang and Xiao Yinxiu and left.

The scenery inside the mansion is not that good.

Pei Jian did not like large-scale construction. The predecessor of this mansion was a prince's mansion in the previous dynasty. Later, it was repaired and patched up by several owners. When it came to Pei Jian, major renovations were almost stopped.

Liu Xian looked around with some disgust.

"The mansion is like the master, guarding the border with soldiers, which is not very interesting."

Qin Qingdong smiled and said, "That's true, but the scenery is just so-so after seeing it too many times. If there is an interesting person living in it, it will surpass all the beautiful scenery."

Liu Xian raised his head, and the small jade crown emitted a bright white light. "Are you referring to Fourth Aunt Erlang?"
