The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

"Your master is very good, that's all, I can't solve this problem. If you can solve it, I will pay you for solving the problem, but I want to make it clear." , I don't think too much of myself, and I am busy asking people around me for answers.

But there were a lot of diners, and no one could answer.

The little second brother showed a little color here, smiled and said: "I don't know the guest officer. This problem has been hanging here for more than ten days. There are countless submissions. There is no one in a hundred who can solve this problem. Although you can't solve it at this time, No wonder."

Xiao Er's words are not exaggerated. The imperial examinations of the current dynasty followed the system of the previous dynasty. Although there was a clear calculation subject, it was an optional subject, and the court did not pay attention to it. There are not many students in this subject.

Lin Mingyu said that arithmetic cultivates people's logical thinking ability, and those who are good at arithmetic have more active minds.People at that time hated it.

From Xiao Er's words, it is particularly valuable that the shopkeeper of this shop has extraordinary attainments in arithmetic.What's more, he can take advantage of the scholar's eagerness to win and show off, use arithmetic to improve the reputation of the shop, and earn money, which shows that he is also very talented in business.Lin Mingyu became curious about the shopkeeper.

At this time, the shop was bustling with chatter and chatter, everyone's curiosity was fully aroused, and some people offered to pay money to listen to people solve problems.Soon the price of silver was raised to ten taels.Affected by their emotions, both Mantou and Lin Er were very excited.

The two teenagers looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Lin Mingyu expectantly.

The old god Lin Mingyu ate a mouthful of good food and good wine on the ground, as if the bustle and excitement of the full house didn't bother him.Mantou scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, he is an active and lively person, he would never have such a chance to show off in the usual times, now looking at his master's expression, he knows what he knows.He wanted to encourage Lin Mingyu to solve the problem, but because of what happened just now, he was a bit timid.So he couldn't help but wink at Lin Er.

Unexpectedly, Lin Er never said anything, but Lin Da, who has always been steady, couldn't help but said: "Master, you will definitely be able to solve this problem. Can you let me have a look?"

Lin Mingyu put down his wine glass, and looked at Lin Da with a smile: "Do you like arithmetic?"

Lin Da raised his eyes and looked at him, without dodging, nodded: "I have learned abacus with my father, and I have also pondered it in private, but I am stupid, and I have never seen such a complicated arithmetic. I heard from my father However, his abacus was taught by the master, and the master is very good at calculating in one subject, the uncle has been smart since he was a child, and he was once praised by the master as the best."

Lin Mingyu smiled lightly, "That's right. But I'm not the only one here." Under his gaze, Lin Da and the others all looked over, and sure enough, they saw a young man opposite him with a confident expression, whispering instructions to the servants beside him. .

"Everyone, my son is willing to give it a try."

As soon as the boy's voice came out, the whole hall was silent. After a while, the same man said: "Dare to ask your surname?"

The servant stepped aside, revealing a handsome young man behind him. He was wearing a blue brocade robe and a white jade crown on his head. His whole body looked rich and unrestrained.Under everyone's attention, he showed a slight smile and cupped his hands.

"Zhao is not talented, so he is willing to give it a try."

The big man hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Zhao has to understand the Fa, please do some calculations with us."

At that moment, Xiaoer was asked to transfer the pen and ink over, and a group of people surrounded Mr. Zhao.Due to the convenient location, Lin Mingyu occupied a good position, so that he could read his handwriting clearly.

As he quickly wrote, everyone's admiration became louder and louder.When he threw the pen away, the big man couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful. You are so talented, and you are really thoughtful. I have been thinking for a long time, but I still haven't come up with a solution. You can write it like this. Needless to say, we can understand it.”

Lin Mingyu also praised in her heart, this person's method of solving the problem is not as obscure as the ancient method, but it is almost the same as the modern method of solving equations.You can't underestimate the other party just because he is an ancient person, Lin Mingyu reflected on it once, and now she couldn't help but look at him differently.

The boy who spoke first said crisply and authentically: "Xiaoer, come and see, is my son's solution correct?"

As we got closer, Lin Mingyu felt a little weird when he heard the boy's words, so he glanced at him again and again, the boy was very sensitive, immediately rolled his eyes back, and said in a low voice: "You little boy is so rude , What are you staring at people for?"

Mantou hurriedly said: "You are only a child, who are you talking about? Besides, there are so many people here, who is looking at you?"

The boy rolled his eyes and said something quickly, but Mantou didn't have the strength to fight back again.

Although Lin Er usually argues with Mantou, but when he sees Mantou being bullied by outsiders, he acts as if he is being bullied, so he raises his sleeves and wants to help.Lin Mingyu had already seen the signs at this time, and hurriedly stopped them, smiled slightly at the boy, and said: "Little brother is so clever. Just now I looked at you twice, and this is my apology. The sage said, only the villain It is difficult to raise a woman. Little brother is not a villain, so he must not care about people like us."

At this time, Mr. Zhao glanced over lightly, and when he met Lin Mingyu's smiling face, he paused slightly, and then said to the young servant: "Qing'er, did you forget what I told you when you went out?"

The boy squinted his mouth in disbelief, and muttered: "They are obviously rude. If you have the ability to solve the problem, why are you talking around here now?"

Lin Mingyu smiled and said nothing.Lin Er already said: "Oh, it's just a small arithmetic problem, what is it. My son has already solved it, and I don't want to compete for the limelight."

Lin Mingyu stopped and said: "Ah Er, shut up." It was already too late, and at this moment, those around Mr. Zhao were all those who admired his solution and were praising him, but Lin Er didn't know how to restrain himself. Everyone around is listening.Not to mention others who listened to it, even Lin Mingyu who heard it herself felt that Lin Er's words were suspected of being an afterthought.

Sure enough, before Lin Mingyu finished speaking, someone sneered and said: "It's really funny, that boy, since your young master has this ability, why didn't you say it sooner. Now that young master Zhao has come up with a detailed solution, it is one of us present here. People, you can also say that you can solve it. Don't you blush when you say such a big talk?"

"What Xiongtai said is that the master of that kid is not very old, so he must be jealous of Mr. Zhao's demeanor, a young man, and he just loves his fame."

"Exactly."

Amidst the discussion, the man had already stared at him, and said with disdain: "Young man Huangkou, how can you talk nonsense in front of Mr. Zhao? It's really rude. Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhao with your master."

Lin Mingyu really didn't expect that Lin Er's words would be carried so far.Although his tone was not restrained enough, but a resentful sentence was nothing more than worth such a high profile, should he apologize to Mr. Zhao?If Lin Mingyu wanted to apologize, he had to be convinced!

The other person in the center of the topic, the handsome Mr. Zhao, did not show his good demeanor at this time, and looked down at the manuscript paper on the table as if he had never heard of it.

The author has something to say: I don’t know what’s going on, but as soon as I opened the backend, a bad information blocking screen popped up. After trying for a long time, I couldn’t log in. In the end, Du Niang gave me the password... Do you know what this is? Is it the same thing?

Today's meeting is very late, and I only have enough code to write out this point. I will write more tomorrow.good night, everyone
