The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Seeing Zhao Yao staring at a page of the book, the Fourth Prince asked without turning the page, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that something is missing." Zhao Yao flipped through a few pages of the book again, but it was still the same.He picked up another book and opened it, but it was still the same.Now that I think about it, all the books he has read are like this, without punctuation, he has to learn to punctuate sentences by himself. "That's not right."

The fourth prince asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yao pointed to the content of "Liuju Zhu" and said: "There are no sentence breaks." In the dream, the book Zhao Yao read had sentence breaks.They use punctuation to break sentences, which is very convenient for reading.By the way, there is pinyin.

"Of course there are no sentence breaks." The fourth prince said softly, "You just started reading this year, so the books that Mr. gave you are all good sentence breaks. Normal books don't have sentence breaks, and those who want to read finish the sentences themselves."

"A book without sentence breaks seems so inconvenient." Every time he reads a book, he feels strange, and always feels that something is missing.Now I finally remembered that it was missing punctuation marks. "Besides, not everyone can punctuate sentences. Also, not everyone punctuates correctly."

The fourth prince didn't think much about Zhao Yao's words, but said: "When Mr. teaches, he will teach how to punctuate sentences."

Zhao Yao muttered, "There are a lot of books, and my husband doesn't teach them, so how do I break sentences when I read them?"

"If you read too many books, you will naturally punctuate sentences." The fourth prince said, "If you can't punctuate sentences after reading books, you can come and ask me."

"Okay." Zhao Yao still finds it convenient to use punctuation marks to break sentences. "Fourth brother, I want to take this "Life Notes" back to read, can I?" He read a few pages of Xia Lingdi's Notes on Daily Life, and thought it was too weird and interesting.

The fourth prince was a little surprised, "How did you figure it out?" The tenth brother has only been studying for three months, and the gentlemen haven't taught him arithmetic yet. Could it be that the lady Zhaoyi taught him?

"Ah?" Zhao Yao was startled. He quickly put down the book in his hand and asked anxiously, "Fourth Brother, are you really not going to Wende Hall to study?"

The fourth prince was startled, and then he tested Zhao Yao again.

The Shaofu Cheng added: "He Xiang and Liu Taishi are very busy, and they have lunch in a hurry."

He added, "If you don't understand anything, you can come to Lanyuan Pavilion and ask me, or ask the adults. The adults who come to Lanyuan Pavilion to study history are all knowledgeable."

Zhao Yao originally wanted to stay in Lanyuan Pavilion to avoid drinking medicine, but he didn't expect to be spotted by the fourth prince.

"One acre."

"Don't you want to part with your fourth brother?"

"This book, can I take it home?"

"I am not smart in reading, but I am very smart in other aspects."

As long as he doesn't study, Zhao Yao is willing to do anything.He helped the fourth prince sort out the books for an hour without feeling tired.

The fourth prince took Zhao Yao to sit in the dining room with the ministers for lunch.The two cousins ​​of the fourth prince sat at the table with them, and the other ministers sat at the next table.

Zhao Yao nodded again and again: "Reluctantly. If you leave, fourth brother, I will be left alone to study in Wende Hall. I am so pitiful." Let him study with third and ninth brothers every day, and still It is better to kill him. "I also told my father that I will also come to Lanyuan Pavilion to help you organize your books, or serve tea and water."

This pile of books is very miscellaneous, including history books, poetry collections, letters, local chronicles and other books.Zhao Yao found a book inside. There was only one "shu" on the cover. He opened it curiously and looked. The contents in it were all about calculating farmland and chestnut rice.

"That's how it worked out."

When the fourth prince saw Zhao Yao's appearance, he knew what bad idea he was planning.

"Fourth brother, I like it." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I think this book is much better than "The Analects of Confucius", and it is also much more interesting than "The Analects of Confucius."

Tai Changcheng said: "He Xiang and Liu Taishi don't come to the dining hall to eat, they eat directly at their own table."

The fourth prince thought for a while and said: "How about this, you come to Lanyuan Pavilion every day to see it." This will allow the tenth brother to have more contact with the ministers, and also let the ministers understand the tenth brother.

As soon as they talked about delicious food, Zhao Yao chattered non-stop.Although he has not been to other places, he has seen a lot of delicious food in local chronicles.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Yao found that He Xiang and Liu Taishi were not there, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't He Xiang and Liu Taishi here for lunch?"

"can."

The fourth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "You should study obediently in Wende Hall."

"Then the fourth brother will test you again." The fourth prince took the "Skill" from Zhao Yao's hand, and chose a question at random, "Today, there are people who buy things together, and each person pays eight dollars, and the surplus is three dollars. Four coins, ask the number of people. How much are the prices?" —— still from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

"Then when will we wait?"

He remembered that there were some books on arithmetic in the library of his grandfather's house, and there were also many books on this subject in Taixue.At that time, I will borrow it to show my tenth brother.

At noon, the fourth prince asked Zhao Yao whether he would go back to Kunde Palace for dinner, or stay in Lanyuan Pavilion to have lunch with them.

The corner of Zhao Yao's mouth was a little stiff and he said: "No need." In Wende Hall, he already has many gentlemen, and there are two Mr. Xiao, the fourth brother and the starling.If he came to Lanyuan Pavilion to find Mr., his life would be difficult.

When Zhao Yao heard that He Xiang was so busy, his eyeballs rolled up and down.He said with emotion: "It turns out that He Xiang and Liu Taishi are so busy." Then he should be very happy to steal orchids later.

"Not now, you have to collect these books now, and wait for someone to transcribe them, and then you can read them."

Zhao Yao let out a heavy sigh: "Oh, you and the starling are not here, so I am the only one left."

After Zhao Yao took five questions in a row, Zhao Yao answered all of them correctly, which surprised and delighted the fourth prince.

Seeing the disbelief on the fourth prince's face, Zhao Yao pouted unhappily: "Fourth brother, what I said is true."

"How much do you think?"

"How did you figure it out?"

"If you like to watch it, then watch more." Arithmetic is "devious way" in the eyes of the world, but the fourth prince doesn't think so.Seeing that Zhao Yao likes it now, he naturally supports it.

"If you like it after reading it, the fourth brother will give you a book on arithmetic." The fourth prince felt that Zhao Yao was very talented in arithmetic and could not be wasted.

"Okay, then I'll read it every day." Zhao Yao put down the "Life Notes" in his hand, squatted down and sorted out the pile of books in front of him.

"Fourth brother, I mean the content on it is simple." Zhao Yao pointed to the content on the book and said, "Youtian has fifty steps today, and sixteen steps from it. Ask Tian how much?" ——From "Nine Chapters" arithmetic".

"What is simple?"

I met the two cousins ​​of the fourth prince at the celebration banquet before, and Zhao Yao couldn't get along with them when talking to them.

The fourth prince returned the "Skill" in his hand to Zhao Yao, and told him: "You should read this book carefully first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Taichangcheng and Shaofucheng knew that Zhao Yao liked to eat delicious food, so they chatted with him about delicious food from all over the world just like last time.

"After reading it, I have the answer in my mind."

Zhao Yao still gave the correct answer without any hesitation.

"It's pretty simple."

After lunch, the fourth prince asked Zhao Yao to go back to Kunde Hall to drink medicine and rest.

Zhao Yao blinked and said, "Is this difficult?"

"Fourth brother, I'd better organize the books for you first." Zhao Yao put the arithmetic books in his hands aside, squatted down in front of a pile of papers again, and organized the books.He found that there were very few books on arithmetic and everything else. "Fourth brother, you are here to participate in the compilation of history now, won't you go to study in Wende Palace in the future?"

The fourth prince was shocked when he heard this.

He looked at it seriously.While watching, he was still calculating in his mind.

The fourth prince touched Zhao Yao's small head with his hand, and said happily: "I knew that the tenth brother was smart."

There is a dining room in Lanyuan Pavilion.Every day at noon, the eunuch in the imperial dining room will deliver the lunch on time.Because no meat can be eaten during this period, the dishes delivered are all vegetarian.However, the cooking skills of the Imperial Dining Room are good, even the vegetarian dishes are delicious.

"Tenth brother, I didn't expect you to be so smart in arithmetic."

The fourth prince shook his head helplessly and dotingly: "You..."

Zhao Yao said without thinking: "Seven people, the price is 53 yuan."

"not going."

The fourth prince reached out and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, "You can come to Lanyuan Pavilion to find me at noon, and you can go to Xingde Palace to find me at night."

Zhao Yao didn't have lunch at Lanyuan Pavilion, so he naturally wanted to stay for lunch.

"What if I don't understand anything after reading it?"

Seeing that Zhao Yao was unwilling to go back, the Fourth Prince had no choice but to say: "I'll take you back to Kunde Palace."

"Fourth brother, no need, I'll go back by myself." Zhao Yao stood up quickly, "Fourth brother, two cousins, I'm going back." After finishing speaking, he ran out.

He asked Tong Xi to keep an eye on him in advance, and went downstairs to the orchid garden. Seeing that He Xiang was not watching, he hugged a pot of orchids that hadn't bloomed and ran away.

Fourth Prince: The tenth younger brother comes to Lanyuan Pavilion, and the ministers will definitely find out that the tenth younger brother is good.

Concubine Li: You really think about the Tenth Prince everywhere.
