The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Lin Mingyu's small body was straight, and when she just stood there silently, she really showed her beauty.

He chuckled lightly and said, "I've also read Mr. Zhao's solution just now. Although it's well-organized, it's a bit complicated. I have a solution, so you might as well take a look."

His obvious provocative words not only made everyone look sideways, but Mr. Zhao, who lowered his head and pretended to be working hard, also raised his head and looked over with burning eyes, which seemed to be joking.

Lin Mingyu didn't wait for others to say more, just wrote the rest of the brush and ink that Mr. Zhao had used just now, and wrote like flowing water.When the originally noisy crowd saw the answer sheet he wrote out quickly, they couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise and emotion.

When he finished writing, there was already a brisk applause in his ears.Mr. Zhao had such an expression as expected, and said to him: "Little brother's solution is unheard of, but upon careful inspection, it is several times more subtle than mine. I wonder who is the famous person?"

"With such a simple and quick solution, I have seen many people who are good at spells in my life, and I have never seen someone similar to the young master. It is rare, rare." A loud laugh overwhelmed Mr. Zhao's voice, Lin Mingyu Hearing the sound, he saw an elegantly dressed middle-aged man striding forward from the back hall.

The waiter hurriedly bowed and said, "Boss, you are back."

Everyone knows that this is the owner of the shop.The owner, Tuantuan bowed his chest and bowed his hands, and greeted everyone with a friendly face: "My surname is Su, and I am the shopkeeper of the shop. Today there are guests here, and two young talents have solved the arithmetic problem I set. It makes the small shop flourish."

"Shopkeeper Su, this question of yours is so difficult, but our Mr. Zhao and this little Mr. have both solved the problem, so what about your reward?" As soon as Lin Mingyu showed his hand, the onlookers seemed to have forgotten what they had done to him before. Sarcasm, someone came to make fun of the store at this time.

Shopkeeper Su Fangzheng showed a disproportionate shrewdness on his face, and said with a smile: "I have seen all the things just now. It stands to reason that Mr. Zhao wrote the method of solving the problem first. Although this young master has a different solution, in the end I read Mr. Zhao's solution first, and it would be unfair to say that Mr. Zhao treated it the same way."

Lin Er talked quickly, and when he heard the words, his face turned bitter, and he said fiercely: "What do you mean, my uncle can't solve the problem? When the younger brother said it just now, he didn't say that only one person is allowed to solve the problem. The shopkeeper , are you going to renege on your debt?"

"Exactly, shopkeeper Su, you are not being fair."

Shopkeeper Su hurriedly smiled wryly and waved his hands: "Don't you dare? I, Su, have always been one-sided. I never do anything that breaks trust. What's more, what I do is trustworthy business. If I bully the guest officer like this, who else will come to me? How about cheering? You can rest assured. It’s just that my shop has been open for many years, and I have never encountered a situation like today. The two young masters are both learned and intelligent people, but how should I choose?”

The big fellow first laughed at this moment, and said: "What's so difficult about this? Since shopkeeper Su is afraid of being unfair to the two young masters, why not set up a new question and see who can solve it first. If Mr. Zhao solves it first, naturally today's rewards will be given to you." In Mr. Zhao; if this young master solves the problem, then each person will have to solve a problem, and everyone will be rewarded. People. You say, don't you?"

"Okay!" "Brother, this plan is brilliant!" Everyone applauded.

Lin Mingyu groaned inwardly, and said: It sounds like I have given myself a chance, but no matter whether the problem can be solved or not, Mr. Zhao will always be beneficial and harmless.If he wanted to get rid of the suspicion of plagiarism from Mr. Zhao, he had to solve the problem first.Of course, this point is foolproof for myself.

As soon as the big man said this, people like Lin Mingyu and Mr. Zhao could of course hear the bias in his words, but Lin Mingyu figured it out and didn't care about it. Mr. Zhao was the beneficiary and didn't object. Shopkeeper Su wanted to use this It didn't stop me from stirring up the atmosphere in the store again.None of the parties involved had anything to say, and the others were quite lively, so naturally they all agreed.

Lin Da took a look at Lin Mingyu, seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on his face, so he suppressed what he wanted to say.He believed that his uncle's intelligence would never be inferior to that of Mr. Zhao, so it would be good to just kill him like this.

Shopkeeper Su asked Lin and Zhao for their opinions intentionally, and when they saw the two nodding, he waved his hand and whispered a few words to Xiaoer.

"On weekdays, I found some ancient questions, and worked hard to get the solution. Looking at the two young masters solving the questions today, they both took a very short time. It seems that the general examination questions are difficult for you. Let me ask you to use what I found the day before yesterday. Let's try the exam questions!"

After a while, the two young men took out a piece of thin wood, and two sets of counting chips and abacus.Just now when Lin Zhao solved the problem, he didn't use calculations, but at this time, shopkeeper Su ordered someone to take out this thing, so it can be seen that his problem is also much more difficult.

Shopkeeper Su was clearly prepared, but he still said those high-sounding words here, and his cunning is also evident.

A little boy stood in front of the two of them holding a wooden board, and shopkeeper Su read the inscription: "Today, there are thirteen small beads for one penny, three medium beads for one penny, and one big bead for three penny. If you buy large, medium and small beads, count one hundred. , a total of [-] coins. How much are the big beads, middle beads, and small beads? This question is more difficult than the former one. The two gentlemen feel free to use counting chips, abacus, and pen and ink, please."

As soon as shopkeeper Su finished speaking, everyone whispered to each other, saying that this question is very difficult, I am afraid that the two young masters will not be able to answer it for a while, and the shopkeeper will have to earn dinner money again.

However, Lin Mingyu picked up his pen as soon as he finished speaking, regardless of the calculations beside him, he thought for a while, and then calculated on paper.Mr. Zhao next to him saw him and gave him a surprised look.But he was also a clever person, and he concentrated his energy in a blink of an eye, fiddling with calculations, and writing a few lines of words quickly on paper from time to time.

Seeing that the two of them reacted so quickly, they seemed to have found their clues. The onlookers were all silent, staring closely at their every move without daring to show their breath.

In fact, Lin Mingyu had thought of how to solve it long ago, but it was a linear equation in three variables, one more step than the previous problem, and the answer could be obtained by entering the equation one by one.But Lin Mingyu didn't want to write the equation on paper, which made people suspicious.So now I think about the steps to solve the problem in my mind, use a pen and paper to write down the key points, and then reverse the steps to solve the problem, and then put it on the paper.During this process, it would be too conspicuous, and he would move his abacus from time to time.Counting but did not move.

Even though he wasted some time like this, when he put down his pen and looked beside him, he found that Mr. Zhao had already written two full pages, and the calculations in his hand were moving very fast.

However, Lin Mingyu's deliberate slowing down still amazed the onlookers.

too fast!So neat!

Shopkeeper Su couldn't help walking to the front in two or three steps, picked up Lin Mingyu's few pages of manuscript paper, and read it carefully.

While reading, the abacus in his hand moved quickly. After an unknown amount of time, he looked at Lin Mingyu with surprise, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The onlookers were all curious, but seeing that Mr. Zhao was still answering seriously, they restrained their impatience and waited quietly for him to finish his calculations.It wasn't until Mr. Zhao stopped writing and looked up with a relaxed and happy expression that he realized that the atmosphere around him was abnormal.Seeing the thin piece of paper in Shopkeeper Su's hand again, he was startled, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

Could it be that he got it too?

Shopkeeper Su couldn't wait to pick up his manuscript and read it. Although he admired it from time to time, he couldn't help saying hello when he saw the answer. After all, it couldn't compare to the excitement when he saw Lin Mingyu's answer, so he quickly turned his eyes back. Put it on Lin Mingyu.

"Shopkeeper Su, judging by your expression, could it be that the answers of the two young masters are correct?" asked a bystander.

Shopkeeper Su nodded repeatedly, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "That's right. Both young masters are masters in arithmetic. Please see, the answer is the same as what I solved." He motioned to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er started from He took out another smaller board behind him, and the number displayed on it was indeed the same as what Lin and Zhao wrote on the paper.

Not allowing everyone to discuss again, shopkeeper Su said: "What is rare is that this young master's solution is as clear and concise as the previous problem. I have never met anyone who can solve a problem like this in my life. Please read the two questions carefully. Mr. Zhao's answer, Mr. Zhao's solution is subtle, but..." Speaking of this, he looked at Mr. Zhao, and paused slightly.

Mr. Zhao is a very personable person, and he admitted generously when he heard the words: "The shopkeeper's blunt words are fine, I am far inferior to this young man." Then he stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Little brother is amazingly knowledgeable, what I have learned today Here you go. There are people out there, the little brother can be called an arithmetic genius with his arithmetic skills. Allow me to apologize for the words that my servants despised you just now."

Lin Mingyu hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Zhao is very polite."

"Hahaha!" Shopkeeper Su said with a joyful smile, "Both of you are rare and talented people. It should be because of my good luck that I met you distinguished guests today. With the abilities of the two young masters, I promise Although the lottery is meager, it is counting on the two of you. The silver has been prepared, and starting today, if the two of you visit my shop, you will not receive a cent."

"Shopkeeper Su is trustworthy. My man also admires the two talented people. Come on, Xiao Er, serve wine. I want to have a drink with your shopkeeper and the two young masters." As soon as the big man opened his mouth, everyone responded in twos and threes.

After drinking for a while, shopkeeper Su personally invited the two of them into the inner courtyard, where they re-ordered a table of wine and dishes, and chatted while eating wine.

During the conversation, Lin Mingyu knew that Mr. Zhao's name was Yuanchu, he loved the way of arithmetic, and he could be regarded as a family school.And Su Furu is also proficient in arithmetic, and by virtue of his ability to solve problems, he has met many like-minded people.When the three talked to the speculator, they drank enthusiastically like friends.

Lin Mingyu always felt that his face was hot, and looked over according to the feeling, and met the gaze of Zhao Yuanchu's boy, and saw his beautiful eyes staring at her for a moment, and when he caught him, his face turned red, Still stubbornly looking at himself.

Lin Mingyu hadn't met such a cute and bold girl for a long time, so Lin Mingyu smiled reflexively at her.He had already seen that this was not a servant, but clearly a young lady.

The author has something to say: a little fatter than yesterday~

The six arts of a gentleman are rare.. By the way, I lack a lot of ancient knowledge. Do you have any recommended reading materials?

I bought a few books on common sense, service, architecture, and military affairs, but none of them are the kind I want. I am urgently looking for information.
