Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 304 Arithmetic Competition, Gao Zhijun Wins

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know about this until I arrived in Taizhou. I have observed Mr. Huo, Huo Jinqian, and I think he is a handsome man with a graceful demeanor. I am very satisfied with him and hope that Your Majesty will grant my wish."

Murong Yuanbo knew that the emperor was pretending to be angry. After all, the marriage of the princess and the prince required the emperor's permission. The emperor did this just to save face.

"No defense! Since the Marquis of Zhenbei only found out later and the princess's marriage was arranged before, I will agree to it."

"Huo Jinqian, who is Mr. Huo?"

When the emperor saw the steps leading down, he went down them.

"The grass people are here!"

"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"

Huo Jinqian stood up, walked out of his seat, and knelt before the emperor.

"Be flat!"

The emperor called Huo Jinqian to get up.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Huo Jinqian stood up.

"He is indeed handsome and elegant, and he is as good looking as the princess, but I don't know how knowledgeable he is."

The emperor pretended to meet Huo Jinqian for the first time. He looked at him carefully and showed that he was very satisfied with his appearance.

"Your Majesty, I took the imperial examination and passed it. I just finished the test today and am waiting for the results."

Huo Jinqian said respectfully.

"It's amazing. You have passed the Liyuan exam at such a young age and are now a tribute student. You must be well educated."

When the emperor heard about Zhong Lieyuan, he was very satisfied with his knowledge.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

Huo Jinqian said smoothly.

Gao Zhijun revealed that she was engaged, which shocked the ministers who wanted her to be their son's or grandson's daughter-in-law. They all felt very sorry.

Marquis Anyang and his wife felt very upset when their plans were dashed.

I originally thought that I would let my son marry Princess Xiangyun, marry into the royal family, and rise to a high position in the society, but now everything is gone.

Marquis Anyang was not only shocked that the princess was engaged, but what shocked him even more was that the person the princess was engaged to was actually his son with the eldest princess. How could he not be shocked?

"Miss Huo solved the arithmetic, and the minister will come up with another arithmetic. If not, Miss Huo will win this time."

The Emperor asked his ministers.

Xie Jinyu and Ma Jun both wanted to know what the woman who could solve this arithmetic problem looked like, and they were full of curiosity about her. They had just calculated it, but couldn't figure it out.

She was a peasant girl, but she figured it out easily. Could it be that all smart women were born in the countryside? Princess Xiangyun was one example, and so was Miss Huo. Both of them showed admiring eyes.

"I will also give you an arithmetic problem."

At this time, the chief academician of the Imperial College stood up and said.

"Please, my dear Lord Mu!"

The emperor said.

"A well is ten meters deep. A snail wants to climb out of the well. It climbs three meters a day and then slides down one meter. How many days will it take for the snail to climb out of the well?"

Mu Wei, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, asked a math problem.

"Isn't this the math problem that Master Mu asked last year? I heard that no student in the Imperial College could answer it, and it became a difficult problem. I didn't expect that Master Mu would ask it here again. I guess no one can figure it out either."

"That's right. My son came back and asked me about it, but I couldn't figure it out either."

"Yes, mine is the same."

"What do you think Master Mu meant by this? He knows that no one can figure it out, but he still uses this question to test people."

"Do you think Miss Huo and Princess Xiangyun can figure it out?"

"I think it's uncertain. Although Miss Huo is good at arithmetic, this is an eternal problem. She is a peasant girl and she probably can't figure it out."

"Although the princess is extremely intelligent, she may be good at writing poetry, but arithmetic may not be her strong point."

Over there, the ministers were whispering to each other. They all knew that this eternal problem probably could not be solved by anyone today.

After Huo Jinxiu listened to what Mu Jijiu from the Imperial College said, she knew that she couldn't figure it out.

After hearing this, Gao Zhijun was delighted. This question was too simple. It was also a question for elementary school students.

She also heard the ministers' discussions, but did not say anything.

"Is there any of you who can calculate it?"

The emperor asked his ministers.

The ministers did not dare to look up at the emperor because they did not know how to do so.

"Is there no one in Daliang who can calculate the result?"

The emperor looked at the ministers who were cowering like quails, lowering their heads and not daring to look up, and he became angry just by looking at them.

"Ms. Huo, what about you?"

The emperor saw that he could not rely on his ministers, so he asked Huo Jinxiu.

"I don't know how to do this either, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Huo Jinxiu said nervously but calmly.

She only said that because her fourth sister-in-law told her the answer just now.

"No defense! It's normal if it doesn't work!"

When the emperor heard that Huo Jinxiu didn't know how to do it, he asked her to sit down.

"Father, Princess Xiangyun is smart and intelligent. She will definitely figure it out."

The Second Princess also heard the ministers' discussion and knew that this was an eternal problem that no one in the palace could figure out. If Princess Xiangyun were asked to figure it out, she would definitely not be able to do it.

She didn't expect that the opportunity for revenge would come so soon.

"Princess, can you?"

The emperor glared at the Second Princess, this troublemaker. He really wanted the Second Prince to divorce her.

Gao Zhijun glanced at the Second Princess as if she were a clown.

The other person wants to embarrass me, but I won't do as she wishes.

"Father, I will."

Gao Zhijun said.

When the female members of the family heard Princess Xiangyun say that she could tell fortunes, they all looked over.

"What's the answer?"

The emperor asked Gao Zhijun.

"Father, it takes a total of five days for the snail to crawl out of the well."

Gao Zhijun didn't look at the women, she just gave the answer directly.

"Five days, Lord Mu, is what the princess said right?"

The emperor asked Mu Wei.

"Yes, that's five days."

Mu Wei said excitedly.

He didn't expect that the eternal problem he posed had stumped the students and doctors of the Imperial College, as well as the civil and military officials, but not a princess who came from a peasant family.

"Your Highness, how did you calculate this?"

Mu Wei asked Gao Zhijun curiously.

"This question is very simple, because the snail climbed three meters on the first day and fell one meter, so it is two meters. On the second day, it climbed three meters and fell one meter, so it is four meters. On the third day, it climbed seven meters and fell one meter, so it is six meters. On the fourth day, it climbed nine meters and fell one meter, so it is eight meters. On the fifth day, it climbed out of the well and did not fall again."

Gao Zhijun explained in detail.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! Princess is really smart. I admire you!"

"It turns out that this problem can be calculated in this way. It's simple and easy to understand."

Lord Mu said excitedly.

This method was simpler and easier to understand than he thought. He didn't expect the princess to be so smart and capable.

"Master Mu, you are too kind. This is just a trivial skill of mine. How dare I show off in front of you? I am really embarrassing myself."

Gao Zhijun said modestly.

In ancient times, the Imperial College's chief academic officer was a person of great learning. In front of outsiders, I was just a peasant girl, and I was definitely not as knowledgeable as him.

In ancient times, when it came to learning, Gao Zhijun felt that one should hide one's shortcomings, otherwise one would not be able to explain oneself clearly.

"No, the princess is more knowledgeable than me. I admire you!"

These words came from the bottom of his heart, and Mu Wei had no intention of flattering or currying any favor.

The princess' unique solution opened his eyes to the truth, which was more enlightening than reading for ten years.

It is his own rigidity, pedantry and adherence to convention that hinders his imagination.

"Okay, who else wants to ask a question? If not, the princess will win the arithmetic contest."

The emperor asked the ministers.

Everyone looked at each other and could see from each other's eyes that no one had any problems to raise.

"Since no one has any math problems to solve, the winner this time is Princess Xiangyun!"

Seeing that his ministers remained silent, the emperor announced that Princess Xiangyun was the winner of the arithmetic competition.

"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, for winning again!"

"Congratulations, Princess, for winning first place!"

The ministers praised Gao Zhijun in unison.

The Queen asked her personal maid to give the glass cup to Gao Zhijun.

"Princess, please accept this glass cup!"

The nanny held up a golden tray with a glass cup on it and respectfully asked Princess Xiangyun to accept it.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Gao Zhijun asked Hongyue to accept the glass cup.

Hongyue walked to the Queen's personal nanny Tian, ​​respectfully took the glass cup, and then took it back.

Gao Zhijun looked at the colored glass cup carefully. It was a colorful colored glass cup. The colored glass cup was like a gorgeous rainbow in the sky, bringing color to the world.

If this glass cup were brought to modern times, it would be worth at least 100 million.

Colored glaze is glass, but the technology used to make colored glaze in ancient times was not as crystal clear as modern glass.

If it were a glass teacup made in modern times, it would definitely be better than this.

Unfortunately, this is an antique, so it is very valuable, but modern glass is relatively cheap. Unless a thousand years later, the glass becomes an antique, it will also be very valuable. That is a benefit that future generations will have, because no one can live a thousand years.

After Gao Zhijun finished reading it, she showed it to Hong Qiujue and the others.

Here, colored glaze is very precious and valuable. Gao Zhijun thought that she could open a workshop to make colored glaze. No, it should be called glass.

In modern times, she just happens to have this technology.
