Datang Live Room

When people suffer a major blow, their brains often fall into a state of long-term confusion.

This is what Mr. Zheng and the housekeeper of the Zheng family are like now.

Who am I and why am I here?

Who is this guy? Isn't he a novelist?

The person I asked about in town today was a young man from a nearby village!

Why can he calculate so quickly?

"Impossible, impossible, you must have read this book before!" The butler's voice was a little distorted.

Yan Kai was speechless and said casually: "Then come up with a question that is not arithmetic in the Nine Chapters!"

He finally understood. I don't know what the level of mathematics in this era is, but the butler's level is at most a primary school graduate.

"I only heard that the customers next door were sharing the silver. I don't know the number of people, but I don't know the silver. A portion of four taels is more than four taels, and a portion of half a catty is less than half a catty. How much money does it cost for how many guests?"

This was a question he saw in a broken book when he was studying arithmetic. He didn't believe that Yan Kai had seen it before.

If this question had been asked a few days ago, Yan Kai might have calculated it wrong, because he always thought that one pound was equal to ten taels.

But when I was buying meat two days ago, I learned that a pound in this era is 16 taels, so this question is too simple. Just set the customer as x, and you can get the answer in just a few seconds using an equation.

"Three guests, 16 taels of silver!"

"You...you..." Seeing the magical symbol again, Mr. Zheng and the housekeeper were completely convinced. Moreover, they were not stupid. It was obvious that Yan Kai could calculate so quickly. The magical symbol definitely occupied a large area. of credit.

"Your symbol..."

"Young Master!" Young Master Zheng just opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by the butler.

Mr. Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he responded: "I'm sorry, I was rude."

When he said sorry, he actually stood up and bowed slightly.

This kind of attitude can be said to be a 180-degree change. You must know that when I brought myself here today, I didn't even ask for my opinion.

However, Yan Kai suddenly lost his temper. In modern times, who would bow to him like this?

So he stood there a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

The air suddenly became quiet.

If the housekeeper is going to cause trouble, he looked at Yan Kai and his young master, and then said: "I just saw the young master and this..."

Only then did he realize that he still didn't know Yan Kai's name, and a few drops of sweat broke out.

"Yan Kai, happy Yan Kai." Yan Kai said.

"It's a small oversight. The young master had a great conversation with Mr. Yan Kai. Since Mr. Yan Kai is so good at learning magic, could you give me a few words of advice for my young master?"

Good guy, just now this man started scolding him after he came in, and the target was directed at him, but now he and Mr. Zheng are having a good chat.

No wonder Huang Bo said that after becoming famous, he found that he was surrounded by good people.

"You want me to teach him math?"

"If Mr. Yan Kai is willing to become a teacher, it will be better!" This butler may not have a good character, but he is really worried about this young master.

Hearing Yan's mouth relax, he acted more respectfully.

"Okay!" Yan Kai didn't care. He just taught elementary school mathematics. I heard that this young man was rewarded with a drop of money for books today. How could he teach him some real skills without spending any money?

The two of them had no deep hatred to begin with. As long as the other party gave them money, there was nothing they couldn't teach.

The housekeeper and Young Master Zheng looked at each other, with happy faces on both sides: "In that case, I would like to ask Mr. Yan Kai to have a good rest. After Young Master takes a bath and changes clothes tonight, he can perform the ceremony of apprenticeship tomorrow morning."

"So... grand?" Yan Kai asked blankly.

"Yes, I must!" The butler follows the stick. A few words of advice and apprenticeship are two different concepts. He originally asked tentatively, but when he found that Yan Kai had no objection, he decided immediately.

Just a few words of advice, how much others are willing to teach is really their business.

But in this era, apprenticeship is different. As long as the teacher approves, he will basically teach you everything he has.

Although Mr. Zheng was born in the Zheng family, he was not a central figure. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take over the family business after studying arithmetic.

You must know that merchants at this time are not people with status. How can these big families send core disciples to participate?

But even so, Mr. Zheng still has many competitors.

This is why he was ordered to urge him to study hard.

The housekeeper, who had changed into a different person, called the maid directly. First, he asked someone to prepare Yan Kai's bed room, and then asked him all kinds of questions.

From midnight snacks to bath water, everything was clearly arranged for Yan Kai.

Yan Kai had never had such a comfortable bath since he came here. When he lay on the soft and scented bed, he even felt a little unreal.

It seems that Mr. Zheng and the housekeeper value me very much. Can I take over all the family members?

If you want to teach him mathematics, it will definitely not happen overnight.

This Yangping Town is not close to my home, so I can't go back every day.

Moreover, when he was not at home, even if he gave money to his family, given Yan Lao Er and Yan's sister-in-law's temperament, they would probably save and save again and again and be reluctant to use it.

It's not right to drink spicy food that is popular in the Zheng family, and let the family eat bran-thick vegetables in the countryside.

So tomorrow I'll see if I can talk to Mr. Zheng and bring my parents over. If that doesn't work, I'll rent a small house in this town. I don't know if the money will be enough.

If that's not enough, Mr. Zheng has become a disciple, so he should have that... Yes, the thing called Shuxiu is just wages!

Since they are so serious, they can't help but feel sorry for the low wages, right?

Then there should be no problem renting a house.

I fell asleep in a daze, and when the next morning, I was woken up by the maid of the Zheng family.

You know, I am usually at home, but I almost wake up by myself at dawn.

They say it's easy to go from frugality to luxury. Isn't it a little too easy for me?

But this large, scented bed was soft and warm, and there was no snoring from Yan Lao Er, or Yan Xiao Er's feet kicking my face. It was really good to sleep!

Under the service of the maid, Yan Kai finished washing.

Butler Zheng has come over respectfully.

"Mr. Yan, I was too happy yesterday and forgot to count the days. The day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day to become a disciple..."

Yan Kai didn't understand how they calculated the day. Since the other party said the day after tomorrow, then let's do it the day after tomorrow.

He nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. If Mr. Zheng is willing, I can start teaching him now."

Butler Zheng's face was filled with joy, and he bowed and said, "I'll spare you the trouble, Mr. Yan!"

Then he walked to Yan Kai and said, "When you perform the apprenticeship ceremony, the teacher has to return the gift. I wonder if Mr. Yan has anything to prepare?"
