All the girls looked at each other and said that if I was going, I would go too. Finally, they discussed that Wang Shan would stay at home to direct the construction of the house tomorrow, and the girls themselves would bring Yaoyu to visit Xu Qing.Moreover, they must wear Xu Qing's favorite clothes.And at this time...

Seeing Li Chengdao's disbelief, Xu Qing thought to himself, and asked Li Chengdao, "May I ask if there is an object of known size on the prince's body?"

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "It's not difficult. My father once gave me a small foot to remind me to always guard myself. I don't dare to abandon it, so I just put it on my body."

After speaking, Li Chengdao put a small three-inch ruler on Xu Qing's body, and saw that the small short ruler was actually made of gold inlaid with jade.Xu Qing couldn't help being jealous, it would be nice to have a prince father.

Xu Qing took the short ruler and walked under the Huabiao, only to see a long shadow cast off by the setting sun.Xu Qing stood the small short ruler on the ground, then painted a little bit on the place where the short ruler stands and the place where the shadow of the short ruler is the longest, took off the short ruler, and measured the distance between the two points.Then go to the longest part of Huabiao's shadow, and then painstakingly measure the length of the shadow.Once here, no one in future generations will not know, as long as it is compared, it is enough.

Soon after, Xu Qing wrote and drew on the ground, and then blurted out: "This watch is 310 inches in total, isn't it?"

Li Chengdao asked the eunuch with him, "Isn't it?"

The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied: "It should be 310 two inches. I don't know what Mr. Xu said 'what is [-]'."

When Li Chengdao heard the words, he also knew that what Xu Qing said was at most a slight difference, and he immediately saluted: "Master Xu is really clever. He can measure these hundreds of inches with a small ruler, and the error is within one inch. Chengdao admires it." .”

Xu Qing smiled and said: "The king of the county has won the prize, and the method of the lower officials is called finding similar triangles."

Li Chengdao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I also ask Mr. Xu to give me some advice."

Xu Qing wrapped his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting cold outside, how about going to my mansion?"

Li Chengdao waved his hand and said to the court ladies and eunuchs beside him: "You go back first, and tell Mrs. Wan that I will ask Mr. Xu tonight."

Xu Qing was startled: "What? Are you going to stay here all night?" After finishing speaking, Xu Qing knew that he had spoken his mind again, so he quickly changed his words and said to those court ladies and eunuchs: "You go back, the county king is here There is nothing serious about the officer here."

The palace maid and eunuch promised to leave, but still left behind a few relatives.

When he arrived at the mansion, Xu Qing took out the paper, and then peeled a piece of charcoal to use as a pencil. There was no way, Xu Qing's writing brush was so fucking dead.Then I told Li Chengdao some basic geometric concepts such as parallel and vertical, and diagonal. The more he listened, the more light came out of his eyes. After Xu Qing finished talking, he didn't leave. He picked up the piece of charcoal, Xu Qing began to write and draw in Xu Qing's writing.

Xu Qing fried the remaining two melons, one shredded and one sliced, and some leeks, and took out a small half of the remaining melon slices, made soup, and put garlic leaves on it.Cook a large pot of rice, like this, three times and one soup is just right.

Xu Qing heard about Mi Xiang, and as soon as he lifted the rice pot, Li Chengdao clapped his hands in congratulations, and shouted: "This king understands, this king understands!"

"Your Highness, come and eat," Xu Qing said with a smile: "Later, some eunuchs will speak ill of me and say that I don't respect you!"

"What? Mr. Xu, have you cooked all the meals?" Li Chengdao realized that there was a problem in his words. Why did Xu Qing cook by himself?So he asked again: "Master Xu, you are a dignified third-rank official, don't you have someone to accompany you?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Well, there is only Zhao Gong, but he doesn't know how to cook, so I did it."

As he said that, Xu Qing put the stir-fried melon slices, shredded melon, leeks, melon slices and garlic green soup on the table.Zhao Gong also brought rice bowls and chopsticks, then sat down by himself, added a handful of leeks and put them in his mouth.As if seeing a monster, Li Chengdao opened his mouth wide, and then he stammered and cursed: "Bold and evil slave! How dare you neglect Mr. Xu so much!"

Zhao Gong was also surprised. It turned out that he was dizzy from hunger, and knowing Xu Qing's habits, he forgot that Li Chengdao was still here, so he took a bite first.Now I know that this is not necessary. To put it lightly, it is a matter of not knowing etiquette and hitting the board. To put it seriously, it is not to pay attention to the dignified third-rank officials of the court, but it is a crime of beheading.

At that moment, Zhao Gong knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The villain doesn't know etiquette, please forgive the crime."

Xu Qingsheng took a bowl of rice and said: "Jun Wang, in my house, there are no such complicated etiquette. Zhao Gong, you stand up, sit down and eat, you are so nervous."

Li Chengdao still couldn't believe it and asked: "Master Xu, the ruler, minister, father and son, how can he be messed up?"

Xu Qing sat down, regardless of letting the county king eat first, he picked up a chopstick and ate first, took a mouthful of rice and replied: "What did you say?"

With Xu Qing's backing, Zhao Gong was so courageous that he really stood up, and then stood with his own rice bowl in his hand, eating up all his food.

Li Chengdao watched Xu Qing eating with gusto, showing no manners at all, he also swallowed his saliva, picked up the chopsticks, and added a piece of melon and vegetable to taste.

"Huh? This is... melon and vegetable? Why is it so fragrant!"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's delicious. The dishes I, Xu Qing, can't compare to the imperial dining room. Huh? Zhao Gong, why do you just eat, come, eat leeks, sit down!" Xu Qing told Zhao Gong Gong picked up a chopstick of leeks.

Zhao Gong also had to sit down, and Li Chengdao also held back the idea of ​​asking, sat down and started to eat.Although these dishes are all vegetarian, but Xu Qing stir-fries them with the best seasonings. For Li Chengdao, they are very novel and delicious.In addition, Xu Qing was eating so happily, the momentum of grilling the rice made people have a taste, no wonder the girls couldn't eat anymore after Xu Qing was gone.

While Li Chengdao was eating, he also forgot his identity as the emperor's grandson. Xu Qing saw it and thought that Li Chengdao was a child after all, and he was not poisoned by the hierarchical culture.After a simple meal, Li Chengdao said bluntly that he would eat at Xu Qing's place in the future, and he couldn't eat the best dishes in the imperial dining room.

However, Li Chengdao still asked Xu Qingdao: "Master Xu, why don't you care about those red tapes? If someone hears it, it's not good to tell it?"

Xu Qing pondered for a while and said: "Confucius said that the monarch and his subjects are father and son, and Mencius said that they share happiness with the people, but the premise of the two is to have a righteous heart. If the heart is upright, the monarch and the minister, father and son will not be chaotic, and they will be happy with the people without worry. Zhao Gong and I are outsiders. It looks like a master and slave, but in fact they are like friends. Sitting down to eat is nothing more than an extra pair of chopsticks. What's wrong with that? Besides, all men are created equal, uh uh, you don't need to listen to that..."
