Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

The first time Jiang Jing met Ximen Qing, he was confused by the new term that Ximen Qing threw out. Zhu Zhixian and the master had long been experienced, so they were not too surprised. Zhu Zhixian sat up straight with interest. body, waiting for Ximen Qing to explain the meaning of the term "financial director".

Once again, Ximenqing, who accidentally leaked the word, is thicker than the city wall. Fortunately, the financial director is quite easy to explain: "Finance is actually related to all kinds of money and goods; the director is the highest-ranking person in terms of finance. .”

"If Mr. Jiang is interested, he is now the accountant of my Ximen family, that is, the chief financial officer."

"Oh. So that's what it means." Zhu Zhixian and Master nodded after hearing the explanation.

After hearing this explanation and Ximen Qing's invitation, Jiang Jing, the magician, didn't seem too interested. Instead, he cupped his hands: "This Ximen high official met Jiang Jing for the first time, and invited a certain company to be the chief financial officer..."

Jiang Jing seemed to be uncomfortable with the term "financial director". He obviously paused before continuing: "A certain family is very grateful. However, a certain family failed in the imperial examination and was already discouraged about their official career. With a few acres of Susukida, a certain family just wants to go back to the village to do farming and concentrate on arithmetic, so please don’t talk about it at this time.”

"Brother Jiang Xian, what is this?" Zhu Zhixian couldn't help interjecting.

"Huh?" Ximen Qing didn't expect that as a time-traveling character, although he was not shocked, at least it would be appropriate to accept some people, but Jiang Jing, the magician in front of him, simply rejected him.

"Xiaosheng is very kind, but Mr. Jiang is not interested, and Xiaosheng can't force it." Ximenqing thought for a while and said, "But everything in the world is nothing more than a business. Mr. Jiang can talk about what conditions are needed to agree to Xiaosheng." invitation?"

"Xiandi Ximen said very well." Zhixian Zhu obviously agreed with this statement: "People in the world are bustling with each other for the sake of fame and fortune. Jiang Xiandi can think about it."

When Jiang Jing, the fortune teller, heard the words "for fame and fortune", his face clearly showed some disgust. He was obsessed with arithmetic and couldn't help himself. He had long been indifferent to the word "fame and fortune"; It's not good to refuse directly, since the high official from Ximen asked him to make a condition, he can just take the opportunity to make things difficult, take the opportunity to escape, and return to his hometown as soon as possible is the best policy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jing, the magician, looked as usual. After thinking for a while, he had a clue: "Since brother said so, brother here has an arithmetic problem..."

"Arithmetic problem!" Zhu Zhixian gasped, knowing that Ximen Qing would never be able to invite his brother: "Brother Jiang, you have been studying arithmetic for more than ten years, so you have to do a simple arithmetic problem, don't Make things difficult for my dear brother Ximen."

When the master heard this, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed for Ximen Qing, but looking at Ximen Qing's face, he was not in a hurry, which surprised the master greatly.

Could it be that besides being proficient in poetry and prose, Ximen Qing is also proficient in arithmetic?If so, isn't this Ximen Qing better than Jiang Jing?In other words, Ximen Qing has been hiding it all these years, hiding it and not revealing it?

The master was taken aback by his own thoughts, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it. At this moment, Ximenqing said: "Mr. Jiang just asks the question. If Xiaosheng can't answer it, naturally he won't bring it up again."

"Okay!" As soon as the magician Jiang Jing mentioned arithmetic, his spirits immediately lifted, and even his eyes became fiery: "A senior official is not a person who is good at arithmetic. A certain family has a simpler problem, and I hope that the senior official You can keep your promises!"

"Mr. Jiang, Xiaosheng is all ears." Ximen Qing put on a full posture, smiling and waiting for Jiang Jing to come up with a question.

It's a joke, I have high scores in mathematics in elementary school, middle school and high school, and I am full of confidence even in the face of the big killer of high mathematics. If I have to throw two high mathematics formulas, I am afraid that the magician Jiang Jing will not It must be understood.

"This topic is from the "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics" hundreds of years ago. It can be regarded as a classic topic, and it is also an interesting topic." The magician Jiang Jing said with a smile: "You should listen carefully."

"No problem, as long as Mr. Jiang speaks slowly." Ximen Qing nodded.

In fact, for this old Chinese arithmetic problem, the key is not how to solve it, but to understand the problem.This is equivalent to the fact that the No. 1 Chinese student in the Olympiad gets an American high school math test. If he can't understand the English, he has to hand in a blank test.

"Okay!" Jiang Jing, a magician, has flipped through "Grandson's Algorithm" over the years, and the title is blurted out: "Today, there are 35 pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, with 94 heads on the top and [-] feet on the bottom. How many are the pheasants and rabbits? "

All right.

This ancient text is quite straightforward. Pheasant and rabbit in the same cage are chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

This kind of topic that was about to become a bad street in my era is not difficult at all!

Ximen Qing could almost see the image of the magician Jiang Jing sitting obediently in his account room, typing on the abacus and writing the account book.

With a smile, Ximenqing stretched out three fingers: "About this topic, Xiaosheng happens to know three solutions, and I don't know which one Mr. Jiang wants to hear."

"What!" Jiang Jing, a fortune teller, looked at Ximen Qing up and down, and then asked in a suspicious tone: "Although this question is not difficult, when a senior official hears this question, There are three solutions?"

"As long as the high officials can come up with one of the solutions, a certain family can agree to be the accountant."

"Some of these three solutions are straightforward, and some are boring." Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Since Mr. Jiang said so, Xiaosheng will tell you the most interesting solution."

"But before that, let me ask Mr. Jiang, are the chickens and rabbits in the question alive? Is the chicken a rooster or a hen?"

"Eh?" Jiang Jing didn't expect Ximen Qing to throw this question suddenly. It has nothing to do with arithmetic at all. Is the chicken in it a rooster or a hen, and whether the rabbit is alive or dead, has nothing to do with the question itself?

Zhu Zhixian and Master also looked at Ximen Qing with strange expressions. This kind of question completely deviated from the topic itself, and I don't know why Ximen Qing asked this question suddenly.

"They are all alive. If they were dead, they would not be in the cage long ago. There are both roosters and hens." Jiang Jing felt that his answer was inexplicable.

"Okay!" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "It's good to live. It doesn't matter if it's a rooster or a hen."

Zhu Zhixian, who was stroking his beard and thinking seriously, almost broke his beard when he heard Ximenqing's words. It doesn't matter if you ask Mao?

"35 heads, 94 feet." Ximen Qing continued: "That means there are 35 rabbits and chickens in total."

"That's right." Jiang Jing said without thinking.

"A rabbit has four legs, a chicken has two legs, no problem."

"This...that's right!" Jiang Jing looked helpless with a "brother, I kneel down for you".

"Xiaosheng coughs now and asks all the rabbits, roosters and hens in the cage to lift up one leg, so now you can only see 59 legs, right?"

"Huh? What's the solution?" Jiang Jing was completely taken into the ditch by Ximen Qing: "94 minus 35 is 59."

"Xiaosheng coughs again now, and asks the rabbits, roosters and hens in the cage to raise one more leg, so you only see 24 legs now?"

"This?" Even though Jiang Jing is a fortune teller, he was taken aback by this solution: "A senior official, chickens only have two legs. If this is the case, all chickens will fall to the ground?"

"Yes! You are so right!" Ximen Qing smiled smugly: "So the rest are all rabbits, or rabbits with two front legs lifted."

"Uh." Jiang Jing felt that his brain was rusted. Ximen Qing said here, and Jiang Jing could already feel that this problem had been solved by the Ximen official, but this strange solution didn't sound like it at all. Makes sense, but no problem at all.

"So divide 24 by two, that's twelve." Ximen Qing looked at the fortune teller with an expression like a fox who had stolen a chicken: "There are twelve rabbits, so the number of chickens is 23."

At this moment, the fortune teller Jiang Jing also fell to his knees with a plop like a chicken lifting his legs: "Teacher! You are my teacher!"

The expression on the master's face was incomparable, and Zhu Zhixian immediately stood together: "Xiang Jiang, who is this?"

Jiang Jing raised his head and looked at Ximen Qing with incomparable admiration: "Teacher, today the students know that they have worked hard for more than ten years behind closed doors! If they hadn't met the teacher today, the students would not know how to be confused. how long!"

Ximenqing felt that the play was almost over, and felt that he stretched out his hand to help the fortune teller: "This Mr. Jiang is too modest, and Xiaosheng plays around for a while, how can he be Mr. Jiang's teacher?"

"The teacher's insight is already higher than that of the students!" Jiang Jing completely ignored Zhu Zhixian's question, and focused entirely on Ximen Qing: "The teacher's solution today is unheard of by the students. Such a wonderful method?"

"If the teacher refuses to accept the student, and just wants to be with the teacher all the time, the student is already very satisfied!"

"This..." Ximen Qing was sweating profusely in his heart, he never expected this magic operator to be so obsessed with arithmetic.But Mr. Accountant, he accepted it.

"Mr. Jiang has a very close relationship with Zhu Zhi County, and Xiaosheng is a few years younger than Mr. Jiang." Ximen Qing said sincerely: "Since Mr. Jiang is interested, he can come to Xiaosheng's house to be an accountant, and in the future, brothers can just be called each other. "

The magician Jiang Jing was ecstatic: "Naturally! As long as the high officials can spare some time to give advice, no matter whether it is the accountant or the chief financial officer, they will not get a cent!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Zhixian nodded again and again: "I didn't expect Ximen Ximen to be so proficient in arithmetic, which surprised the county. Even if this brother in this county is handed over to Ximen Xiandi, this county can also do it." It's great to have a drink with brother Jiang every now and then!"

When it came to drinking, Ximen Qing suddenly remembered something, and blurted out, "I don't know where the owner of the rich man's building is. Is there any liquor?"
