The ancient life of a master craftsman

Li Enbai left the garden with a frosty face, and when he got to the door, he saw Shuangzhong waiting for him with a carriage, he said with a little anger, "Go back."

As soon as he got into the car, he was rushed into his arms, "Brother En!" Yunli half-hugged and half-hugged into Li Enbai's arms, her eyes sparkling, "How was the banquet? Are many officials and lords here?"

Li Enbai froze for a moment, but the expression on his face softened, "Why are you here? It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"

Yunli shook her head, "I'll wait for you."

"Yeah." Squeezing Yunli's face, Li Enbai thought to himself that he was really mad because he had seen Shuangzhong, but he didn't realize that Yunli was coming.

Yunli stuck to him, curious about the dinner party, Li Enbai thought of this dinner party now, it wasn't disgusting enough, but Yunli wanted to know, so he could only pick some things and talk about it.

"Wow, do you really want to compose poems on the spot? Didn't you memorize them in advance?" Yunli heard him retell the poems of all the students, and recalled in her heart, "Brother En, you write well!"

Li Enbai's bad mood was dispelled, "Really? Why don't you tell me?"

Yunli pondered for a while, as if about to publish some long speech, but after pondering, stopped his neck, "Anywhere is fine!"

"Hahaha, you," he tapped the tip of his nose, "you will always fool me."

"It's not fooling around, it's all good in the first place, Brother En, you are the best!" Yunli said without principle, with a complacent and proud expression that made it hard to see.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Li Enbai hugged him, the anger in his heart completely disappeared, but he didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Two friends will come to visit me tomorrow. Do you want to meet with me, or take Shuang Zhong out for a walk? We'll go home the day after tomorrow." Li Enbai asked him gently, stroking the back of his head.

Yunli's face was pressed against Li Enbai's chest, and a steady heartbeat was transmitted to his ears. When Li Enbai spoke, the vibration would also spread to his entire head cavity, which was very comfortable.

It was already later than he went to bed, and leaning against Li Enbai's warm arms, Yunli yawned quietly. Hearing his words, she reacted for a while, "Well...then I'll go shopping...I want to give Bring presents, everyone."

Li Enbai hugged him up to make him more comfortable, "Sleepy?"

"Hmm..." Yunli's eyelids began to become heavy, and she blinked and yawned again.

Pulled out a thin blanket and covered Yunli, "Go to sleep, it's a bit late today, I'll take you back to your room when I get home."

Yunli put her forehead against Li Enbai's neck, and said vaguely, "I'll wash it up before I come out..."

Li Enbai laughed, "Is this what you plan to do? If you fall asleep on the road, let me hug you, huh?"

"Well, sleepy." Yunli had already closed her eyes, and fell asleep confidently.

Li Enbai smirked, Lizi is getting bolder and bolder now, and she has completely changed from the poor little one at the beginning, which is very good.

"Crack!" The body that disliked his smile was trembling, Yunli frowned, slapped him on the chest, and said vaguely, "Don't laugh..."

Li Enbai held his limp hand, "Sleep, sleep, I won't move."

Whispered a few words in Yunli's ear, and lulled Yunli into a deep sleep, Li Enbai leaned back against the car wall, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

At the same time, I was also thinking about who was behind the prefect's embarrassment and the master's hint tonight?

The magistrate's adopted daughter?

The magistrate of Shicheng had four biological daughters alone, and now there are three unmarried. How could they attach so much importance to the marriage of an adopted daughter?

In addition, the director's intention was to let him vacate his wife's position for this "adopted daughter", and he even said the words of concubine concubine. What's up?

I'm afraid it's because he thinks that even if he wins a small three yuan, he is just a lucky kid, so he can't even use euphemism?

Li Enbai knew that the prefect must have a reason for targeting him, someone must have said or done something behind his back, but he had no enmity with anyone in Shicheng, and the only one who could count as a gap might be the Shi family.

But looking at Shi Wenbai's appearance, it doesn't look like the Shi family is behind the scenes, so who else could it be?

There were too few people in his hands, even if he knew there was a problem, he had no way to investigate it, so he could only let it go first, and the soldiers came to cover it up.

We should buy a few more people, since the backyard is still big, so we can build two more servant rooms.

Thinking about it, Li Enbai was also a little dazed, until Shuangzhong knocked on the car door, "Master, we're here."

Opening his eyes, Li Enbai couldn't react for a moment. He drank a lot tonight. Fortunately, Yunli didn't dislike his smell of alcohol, so he could sleep so soundly.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, "Got it."

After getting out of the car with Yunli, who was tightly wrapped in his arms, and returning to the room, Shuangzhong already had the foresight to open the door first and lifted the bed curtain.

After settling down the sleeping Yunli, Li Enbai asked Shuangzhong to bring him a basin of water, scrubbed and lay down next to Yunli, and slept with him.

As soon as he lay down, his arm passed under Yunli's neck. Before he exerted any force, Yunli had already rolled into his arms, and his hands and feet were automatically put on his waist and legs.

With a soft laugh, Li Enbai covered the quilt, hugged Yunli, and fell asleep.

Sun Mingzhi had inquired about Li Enbai's residence a long time ago, and went out to visit him early the next morning, and happened to meet Shi Wenbai as soon as he went out.

"Brother Wen Bo, are you going to visit Brother Linfeng too?" Sun Mingzhi was young and couldn't hide his words, so he asked the question the first time he saw him.

Shi Wenbai nodded, "Yes, Huijing too? Why don't we go together?"

"Well, it doesn't work if you don't have one piece. If you start from here, you have to go the same way, right?" Sun Mingzhi rolled his eyes, disgusted by Shi Wenbai's extra question.

Shi Wenbai was not angry either, Sun Mingzhi had such a temper since he was a child, if people don't know, they must think that the one who has the reputation of child prodigy is Sun Mingzhi.

After all, in the minds of ordinary people, a genius is always very flamboyant and special. A person with a good personality like Shi Wenbai doesn't seem like a genius.

But in Shi Wenbai's heart, he just loves to read, he is not a child prodigy, let alone a genius, intelligent people in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are countless people who are smarter than him, there is no need to be proud, let alone a genius So conceited.

It may be because of his mentality that he will not stand still, but has been moving forward steadily. If Li Enbai does not have systematic help, the one who will go the farthest among the three of them must be Shi Wenbai who is not arrogant or rash .

When he arrived at the place where Li Enbai lived temporarily, Sun Mingzhi got out of the carriage and looked around, thinking, it's too simple.It seems that what everyone said about Li Enbai's poor family is true, otherwise why would he live in such a simple place.

Although the courtyard that Li Enbai rented is relatively close to the examination institute, it is not a wealthy area after all. In addition, he only lived here for a few days, so he did not change into beautiful and sturdy furniture. He just cleaned the dust and spread out the bedding. It's good to be able to live.

He even lived in the utility room of Yunli's house, so it's not difficult to live in such an environment, after all, the house is quite solid and airtight, and it's not considered old if it's clean.

Not to mention Yunli, he lived in a house with only one bed and a broken cabinet for the first 15 years, so there is nothing unacceptable in such a house now.

So when Shi Wenbai and Sun Mingzhi saw that they didn't even have a study room, they were just entertaining guests in the bedroom, they lost all thought of comparison.

Still the same sentence, they have been supported by the wealth of the family, and they have never suffered such hardships, and they have achieved their current achievements only by concentrating on studying. However, Li Enbai's grades are still better than theirs despite such poverty, which is enough to show that Li Enbai is very talented. Taller.

Although Sun Mingzhi is conceited, he is not arrogant. He is just eager to win, but he is not unable to afford to lose.

So he didn't mention the competition anymore, but he had a question to ask, "Brother Linfeng, what's the solution to the chicken and rabbit problem you raised yesterday?"

Li Enbai was surprised, "You didn't figure it out?"

Sun Mingzhi blushed, "It's been calculated, but the method is a bit clumsy..."

The same is true for Shi Wenbai, he didn't even calculate the addition well, and it took him more than half the night to figure out this problem. Therefore, seeing Sun Mingzhi said that he figured it out, he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

He is not good at counting, and he is better at addition alone. It is not very smooth for such a problem with some twists and turns.

"Didn't you already know that this is a problem in "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", so you can just calculate it according to the solution in the book?" Li Enbai was puzzled. Since there is already a record in the book, they shouldn't be able to find the algorithm.

"It is true that the problem can be calculated according to the algorithm of "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", but I always feel that it is not the method used by Linfeng. The half-foot method is used to calculate 78 chickens and rabbits in the same cage. The calculation time is not short. This problem should be a simple problem, right? "

Sun Ming knew that there was no faster method after all the calculations, but he thought that since Li Enbai put it out to test them, he would definitely not follow such a troublesome method.

First let each chicken stand on one foot, and then let the rabbit stand on both feet, so that 100 feet are calculated, one chicken foot represents a chicken, and two rabbit feet represent a rabbit, so the gap between the rabbit feet and the chicken feet That's their difference.

即用100减去78得出兔子22只，然后再用78减去22得出鸡有56只。

This method is not impossible, but it is not so fast, so he feels that something is not right, especially the addition time is so short, but the time given for this question is a little longer, as if to waterproof them.

Shi Wenbai understood what he meant, and was a little curious, "Is Huijing right?"

Li Enbai didn't expect Sun Mingzhi to be so sensitive. He really didn't think this question was difficult, but those who don't like counting may have never read Sun Tzu's math.

"Yes, I originally came up with this problem. It's not too difficult, nor too simple. It depends on whether you have ideas. If you have ideas, you can solve the problem very quickly." Li Enbai admitted generously.

"The topic of addition is really a little tricky. This trick is applicable to adding any number from 1 to any number. It is also very convenient to calculate by mouth. Let's use the example from 1 to 100. Add 1 to 100, add 101 to 2 to get 99, and so on. By analogy, you can add 101 groups of 50, that is, multiply 101 by 50, and you get 101, just do the math.”

Li Enbai first talked about the method of addition. This kind of problem is almost a problem that elementary school students will do immediately after learning multiplication. It is really simple for him.

Chickens and rabbits in the same cage also involve linear equations in two variables, which is a little more difficult to explain than this knowledge point, probably at the level of first-year junior high school students.

"The problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage is also very easy to solve. A chicken has two legs, and a rabbit has four legs, so two equations can be drawn according to the problem..."

Li Enbai talked a lot. In order to facilitate the understanding of the concept of hypothetical unknowns, he also listed several other topics, which made Shi Wenbai and Sun Mingzhi stunned.

Counting there are so many ways?

The two with big heads looked at each other at the end, thinking, I'd better read the books of sages and write beautiful articles!
