The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he even took the golden abacus to try it out.
Unfortunately, this abacus is a little too small for Xie Ying's small hands, and even more delicate for Xie Xiu's big hands.
Xie Xiu could only use his fingertips to carefully move the golden beads.
At the beginning, his finger movements were a bit clumsy, but after trying a few times, his movements became faster and faster, which frightened Xie Ying and Situ Yuan.
Xie Xiu’s learning ability is so strong!
He is simply the ancient version of the academic god!
Xie Ying's eyes began to light up, and she didn't forget to flatter Xie Xiu: [Wow, Daddy is so awesome! You're worthy of being my daddy!]
Xie Xiu: “…”
Situ Yuan: “…”
After being praised by Xie Ying, Xie Xiu quickly calmed down.
He looked at the sky outside, and reluctantly returned the golden abacus to Xie Ying. Then he said to Situ Yuan, "It's getting late. Xie will take the young master back home."
Situ Yuan did not refuse. It was indeed a little late. Although the princess should have known that he was at Xie's house, she would inevitably be worried if he didn't go back.
In front of Xie Ying, he politely said to Xie Xiu, "I've had someone make a real abacus, and I'll have someone send some over later."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Xie Ying's reaction. Seeing her raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, he couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that the mind-reading incident should be over.
So he said goodbye to Xie Ying with a smile: "Yingying, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Although Xie Ying was still a little unhappy, she waved her chubby hand at him for Jin Suanpan's sake.
Xie Xiu saw it and moved his lips slightly, but in the end he said nothing.
Situ Yuan obviously had an extraordinary background, just like Xie Ying.
He also has very profound knowledge and knows a lot of things.
Such a knowledgeable and talented person must not be offended.
Instead of pushing people away, you might as well take the opportunity to learn more from them.
Xie Xiu had an idea in mind, so he took Xie Ying back to the next door and handed her over to Tu Jiaojiao's care, and then personally sent Situ Yuan back to the Princess's Mansion.
Although the Princess's Mansion was right next door, he didn't dare to be careless at all.
On the other side, when Xie Ying returned to Tu Jiaojiao, she was still holding the golden abacus in her hand.
This golden abacus is actually a bit heavy, but Xie Ying doesn't mind it at all.
She held the abacus in her hand, and even when she casually shook it, she found the sound of the golden beads colliding very pleasant.
Xie Tang spotted the golden abacus in her hand and immediately asked, "Yingying, what is this? Isn't this a toy Situ Yuan gave you? He actually made toys out of gold!"
Xie Ying found his expression of disbelief and collapse amusing: [Do you think the rich are inhumane? Simply insane?]
Xie Tang nodded subconsciously, then felt something was wrong.
He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xie Ying in panic: "You, you, you..."
Xie Ying snorted and raised her chubby chin: [I know everything! You all heard it, yet you deliberately hid it from me!]
Xie Tang immediately panicked and decisively betrayed Xie Xiu: "Daddy forbade us to tell you!"
After saying that, he asked Xie Rou to testify: "Right, big sister?"
Xie Rou sat there awkwardly, staring at Xie Tang with a look of disappointment, wondering if this brother had been born without a brain.
Is it okay to say something like this?
If daddy finds out, he will definitely punish him again.
Even if Xie Tang dared to say it, she wouldn't dare to admit it.
Xie Rou cleverly changed the subject and asked Xie Ying with a smile, "Yingying, can you tell us how to play with this toy?"
"It's called the Golden Abacus, and it's not a toy." Xie Ying snorted softly, then began to demonstrate simple addition.
She hadn't read Situ Yuan's booklet yet, so she only knew this for now. As for more complicated calculations, she was completely clueless.
Alas, it’s all because calculators are too common in later generations. Apart from learning it for a few days in elementary school, she never touched an abacus again and has forgotten it completely.
