Chapter 186 Appreciate the perfect bloom of the plum banquet! (3)

The same is true of Mrs. He of the Li family. The things that this child Qionghua knew were not brought into play at all. Mrs. Li of the family specially found someone to teach Li Qionghua calculus.

The reason is that Mrs. He told Li Qionghua that although she did not need to participate in making money directly, she must not be deceived by the people under her in the account. Somewhat uncomfortable.

Holding the purple-gold jade bracelet on the tray, Mrs. Shen beamed and prepared to announce the result, "This plum banquet has refreshed my wife's eyes, it is a rare show in the past few years, and this plum banquet was hosted by the county magistrate Chunhui. The performance is obvious to all, and Mrs. Ben will announce the results below!"

"The No. 1 in piano art is the county lord Chunhui, the No. 1 in chess is Chen Ying, the No. 1 in calligraphy is Song Yujuan, and the No. 1 in painting is the county lord Chunhui , No. 1 in cooking is also the head of Chunhui County, No. 1 in female celebrity is Shen Jingshu, and No. 1 in surprise is also the head of Chunhui County. This year, the head of Chunhui County has won four leaders , but it is rare in the past years, so this lady announces..."

Just at this moment, Mrs. Zhu family interrupted: "Mrs. Song, hold on!"

Anyone who is interrupted will definitely not be happy, let alone Shen shi who is about to announce the good news, so Shen shi said with a calm expression: "Mrs. Zhu family, it's not too late to ask questions after Mrs. Ben announces the result."

Mrs. Zhong of the Zhu family said: "Mrs. Song family, the result of this plum banquet is not fair. Our second daughter was injured unexpectedly and was unable to participate in the following competitions, but I believe that there are many ladies present like me. I have an idea. After all, the county lord Chunhui won the first prize in this cooking competition because of the strange food, and the painting skills are not too good. As for the unexpected competition, her servants helped her to complete it, so Mrs. Ben thinks this result is not satisfactory. "

Rather than saying that Mrs. Zhong of the Zhu family thought the result was not satisfactory, it was better to say that she was arguing. Then Mrs. Li and several other wives agreed, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

In the end, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Shen said: "According to Mrs. Zhu's intention, it is better than nothing. It was a surprise to have added one item this year. As the manager and organizer of the event, Mrs. Going forward, this competition for the plum banquet can only have one more event at most, because it will be a dinner party soon, so we cannot break the rules of the plum banquet."

The first lady of the Zhu family, Zhong Shi said: "That's natural. This lady believes that in addition to their talents, the ladies of the family should also have skills in the inner house, and the inner house wife is an indispensable ability to manage the family's financial management, so this wife asked I don't know if it's feasible to play an extra game?"

Hearing this answer, Shen shi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and was relieved a lot. The Zhu family and the Li family are particularly difficult to deal with. If something messed up, they don't know how to deal with it properly. , but the subject of this calculus is not out of line.

It's just that Shen shi was a little worried when she remembered Sister Hui's reputation. She took a chance to look at Sister Hui, and only then did she realize that Sister Hui was looking at her invisibly and nodded, and Shen shi was completely relieved: " Well then, according to the wishes of the eldest lady of the Zhu family, there will be an extra game. No matter what the result is, the lady will announce the result according to the rules of the plum banquet, and no one else has any objection. Come to the account book."

Madam Chu went to do it immediately, fortunately, she had prepared beforehand, but the reason for the preparation was because she was worried that if two people had the same ranking, it would be used for the extra stage. As a result, this year, Sister Hui was the only one, so It was useless, but it was mentioned by the eldest lady of the Zhu family.

So as soon as the news came out, many ladies were ready to attend. The Mei Mei Banquet is a very high banquet for the boudoir. If you can do this banquet, even if you don't come out on top, if you have excellent financial management skills, you will be able to marry well in the future. People go, no problem at all.

Therefore, often after the plum appreciating banquet, many people will decide on the name, and many people are worried that the outstanding girl's family will be picked away, so the name is set early, and it is not too late to get married.

Soon the venue was arranged properly, and the girls drew lots to determine the location and difficulty level. One group was easy, the second group was slightly difficult, but it was an ordinary addition and subtraction problem. The third group was difficult, the fourth group was the most difficult, and the fourth group was the most difficult. The group is all about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Qiguo's plum appreciation banquet has been held for several generations, and the fourth group has been completed by few people so far.

I heard that only the current Empress Dowager and Xinhe County Master have completed it. As for the previous dynasty, there are also several, not particularly many.

Today, a total of 36 people participated in this competition. They happened to be in a group of nine people. There were account books and abacus on the table. The account books of each group were the same, but they were all sorted in a mixed order to prevent anyone from copying others.

Zhu Chunrao pouted and was a little depressed, because she got the fourth group of questions by lottery, and she felt a little uneasy. Li Qionghua also had four groups of questions this time, but she didn't mind, because the old gentleman in the accountant had carefully taught her how to calculate, now It's about speed.

Song Yujuan was the subject of the second group, Shen Jingshu was the third group, and most of the others were in the second or third group. Princess Wen Ruo was quite complacent when she got the first group of questions.

Afterwards, the competition time was still a quarter of an hour, and all the questions obtained were required to be calculated. Only the final calculation was correct to obtain valid votes. If all calculations were correct, it would depend on whose time was earlier.

After the calculation, the question paper is handed in to determine who completes it first.

All the ladies were ready, Shen shi gave an order, and the sound of crackling abacus beads sounded immediately, and a busy scene appeared in front of everyone.

Sister Hui is not afraid of this, let alone the abacus project, it is the calculation of various formulas, no matter how difficult it is. In the past, family training for successors was like blacksmithing education. I used to feel miserable, and only two friends supported her. go down.

But after mastering these skills, looking back, although the process was not easy, the result was good. This is not because Sister Hui won the last group of the most difficult questions. It is difficult for many girls, but for Sister Hui It's okay to say that a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, and sister Hui will be ready in less than 3 minutes, and hand in the paper.

To the surprise of many people, Mrs. He, the eldest lady of the Li family, also sarcastically said: "Could it be that the county magistrate Chunhui did not know how to calculate and called a blank paper? It is also the reputation of an incompetent woman in the capital. Who knows who does not know?"

The eldest lady of the Zhu family also laughed and said, "It's not that this woman from an aristocratic family may not be able to cover everything, but her ability to manage financial management of the house is absolutely essential, so ah, this calculation is a very serious topic. Otherwise, I don’t know how much will be lost through the fingers every year.”
