The reborn daughter seeks marriage

Chapter 79 Don't lie to him
Although she looked beautiful, she was actually the same as before, just a lowly maid.Gritting her teeth, Changyue was naturally unwilling to get nothing in the end. Thinking of what the eldest lady said, she knew that no matter what, her sons and heirs were her greatest protection.

In the afternoon, Chu Wu still went out of the mansion with Xiao Qi, and went to Chonghua Temple.This time she just stepped out of the gate of Chonghua Temple, and saw Mu Qifeng's figure.He was standing not far away, smiling faintly at her.Chu Wu also smiled at him, her heart beating wildly.

The two walked towards the Peace Hall, and Chu Wu asked with some embarrassment, "Have you been waiting for me here all this time?"

"Yeah, this section of the road is not safe. I don't worry about you as a girl. Anyway, I will go along the way, so I will wait for you to go together." Mu Qifeng nodded, with a smile on his handsome face.

Hearing his words, the corners of Chu Wu's mouth could not help but rise, "Are you familiar with Su Yan and the others?"

"Su Yan, and Han Yan's older brother Han Qingmu, the three of us can be said to be playmates who grew up together, and good brothers are no exaggeration."

"Well, I know that you are the eldest son of Zhenyuanhou's mansion, and Han Qingmu is the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, so what about Su Yan?" Chu Wu asked curiously.

Mu Qifeng frowned strangely when he heard her question, and said in embarrassment: "As for Su Yan's life experience, if I don't get his consent, I can't tell others casually. I'm sorry Miss Mo, this is If you really want to know our brother's promise to him, you can ask him in person."

He was really embarrassed in his heart, Su Yan's temperament is like that, and his special identity cannot be easily revealed.But looking at the disappointed look in the beauty's eyes, I immediately felt uncomfortable, and for a while, I felt a bit in a dilemma.

"It's okay, I'm just curious for a while." Chu Wu smiled, although she was curious, but if it's something she doesn't know, then forget it, anyway, as long as he can help treat her cousin.The reason why she said this was to have something to talk to Mu Qifeng, so as not to be embarrassed.

"By the way, a very interesting foreigner came to Su Yan last time. Do you know him too? I know his name is Da Fanden, and he seems to be from the Great Food Kingdom."

"Davanden is also our friend. He has a bold personality. Although he doesn't speak the language of our Shengjing, he is easy to get along with. He is indeed from the Dashi Kingdom. Our Daqi Kingdom has opened up a wider world. Da Fandeng is the No.1 person who came to our Shengjing to do business. Moreover, his arithmetic ability is simply amazing, even the most famous "Abacus King" in our Shengjing is convinced by him .”

Shengjing's "Abacus King" is the most powerful accountant in the Daqi Kingdom. According to legend, no matter how complicated the accounts are, no matter how huge the numbers are, the "Abacus King" can solve them within a stick of incense.The speed at which he moved the abacus could be described as dizzying, and the results he calculated were never wrong.In Shengjing, this "King of Abacus" is simply a strange person.And Davanden didn't even need an abacus tool at all. He only needed a piece of paper to draw some strange symbols with a black charcoal strip, and he could calculate the answer in almost a minute.

"At that time, Da Fandeng first came to Shengjing, and the Shengjing dialect was even more difficult to pronounce than now. He saw a performance of the 'Abacus King', but he was very disdainful. This naturally aroused the anger of the 'Abacus King' and demanded to communicate He fought. We happened to see this scene at that time, and I still remember the amazement at that time. It is also because of his unique ability that Su Yan admired him very much, so we took the initiative to ask him to associate with him. Developed to Now, it's just a matter of course becoming friends."

Mu Qifeng smiled and said, thinking of the way the big bench spoke, Chu Wu couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed.

"The last time I met him, I also discovered this. He calculated the answer in a very short time just by mental arithmetic. Is there a special secret method?"

"That's right, that's an arithmetic method invented by a scholar from their Great Food Country. As long as you master the tricks of that kind of arithmetic, no matter how complicated the calculation is, it won't be a problem. Davanden is very generous and doesn't hide his secrets. When we asked He, he told us the formulas and methods directly and straightforwardly. Why, are you interested in this?"

Looking at her curiously, Mu Qifeng spoke suspiciously.

"Yeah, you know that my father is a businessman. I have been fascinated by it since I was a child, and I have a little interest. In addition, the end of the year is approaching, and my father has been busy recently. I also want to do my part for him. Let him relax." Chu Wu said with a smile, "Besides, it won't hurt me to learn a little more."

Mu Qifeng was silent for a while, and said softly: "If you want to learn, I will teach you."

"Really?" Chu Wu said in surprise, but then frowned slightly.

"But how are you going to teach me? The only time we can meet is in the Peace Hall, but there are still things to do. And I can no longer make excuses to go out, otherwise, my father will be suspicious."

"Don't worry, just stay in the Ping'an Hall. I promise, you will learn something, and you won't miss the things you have been told." Mu Qifeng smiled lightly, looking confident.

"Really? Then I thank you first!" Chu Wu also smiled, she was looking forward to what Mu Qifeng would teach her.

In fact, she wanted to learn how to calculate accounts because she wanted to gain a bargaining chip for herself. She didn't need to be very proficient, but she had to learn it.Usually girls at this age would be taught how to settle accounts with housekeepers, but unfortunately, Qiu Xueshan would never teach her.Therefore, now she can only think of other ways.

Coincidentally, when they arrived at Ping'an Hall, the task Su Yan entrusted to them was also to settle accounts.They have to make statistics on the purchase and sale of medicinal materials in Ping An Tang this year.Chu Wu seriously suspects that Su Yan did it on purpose, leaving these things to them, but she is at ease instead.

After sorting out the ledger and putting it on the table, it almost blocked Chu Wu's head.Chu Wu was immediately curious, would such a small pharmacy have such a large amount of medicinal materials?Even if all the poor people in Shengjing come here to see a doctor, it is impossible to have so many books, right?Opening a book casually, Chu Wu found strangely that she couldn't understand what was written on it.The amount of medicinal materials and silver are all written crookedly with a very strange symbol, almost like a code.

Seeing her almost wrinkled face, Mu Qifeng couldn't help laughing.Chu Wu's face turned red, and she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and complained in a low voice: "What are you laughing at, what kind of ghostly symbols are these, people can't understand them at all!"

"Don't worry, I will teach you how to understand it. These books are recorded using the method Davanden said. As long as you know the meaning of these symbols, it will be easy to understand. People who don't understand , Even if you get the ledger, you won’t know what it expresses. In order to prevent leaks, Su Yan’s subordinates must learn this method of recording.”

Having said that, Mu Qifeng suddenly paused, and smiled at Chu Wu, "I'll write down the numbers corresponding to these symbols first, you just need to remember clearly. Then you can help me sort out the books, by the way Write down those symbols together."

Although it was just a sentence, Chu Wu could faintly smell a secret. Su Yan's identity was probably even more mysterious than she expected!However, since it was to prevent leaks, Mu Qifeng still told her why.Isn't he afraid that she will reveal all these secrets?He is not afraid, he is actually approaching him with a purpose, isn't his mind pure?

For a moment, Chu Wu looked at Mu Qifeng with a complicated expression.

"I know you won't, don't you?" Mu Qifeng said suddenly, handed her the note in his hand, and smiled slightly.It turned out that she just whispered the question in her heart unknowingly, and that sentence just now was Mu Qifeng's answer.The voice was very faint, but full of trust.

At this moment, Chu Wu couldn't describe the touch and joy in her heart. This feeling of being believed made her feel that the light note in her hand became heavy.As if picking up some treasure, she took it over, and the expression on Chu Wu's face was extremely serious.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

"The numbers above are actually numbers from zero to nine, and the ones next to them correspond to the symbols created by the Great Food Kingdom. If you memorize them clearly, you won't find it difficult to understand when you look at these ledgers in the future. Moreover, these symbols correspond to all It is a decimal system, adding a zero after one is a number of tens, and so on, two zeros are a number of hundreds, and three zeros are a number of thousands. It is not only convenient but also easy to remember to record the books with the symbols of the Great Food Kingdom, and it is clear at a glance. It is not easy to make mistakes. After you understand these, I will teach you to recite the multiplication formula. At that time, even you will be a hundred times better than the 'Abacus King'!"
