Enter the Room

  Chapter 216

Yuan Yunzhong's voice was neither high nor low, it could even be called gentle, but when it fell on everyone's ears, it could make people feel his seriousness—he really didn't care about beating people to death, but felt that the Spring Festival It's almost here, it's unlucky to die in the mansion.

   Everyone shuddered involuntarily.

  Song Jixue was very excited.

  When Yuan Yunzhong hugged her and went to Yinyu Hall without looking back, she even made faces at Song Sanliang and the others like those spoiled and dependent children.

  After returning to Yinyu Hall, Yuan Yunzhong carried her directly into the study room, put her on the large desk where he usually writes and draws, took the ointment, and applied it to her himself.

  The smell of the ointment is a bit pungent, but after applying it on the face, it is cool and refreshing, very comfortable.

  Song Jixue held her head up obediently, while Ren Yuanyunzhong applied medicine to her.

  Yuan Yunzhong's heart also softened.

  He asked Song Jixue: "Who taught you the formula to recite the abacus?"

  Song Jixue proudly said: "No one taught me, I learned it myself."

  She was still afraid that Yuan Yunzhong would not believe it, so she explained: "That year my father taught my second sister how to abacus, but my second sister didn't learn it for a long time, so I will be able to do it after listening to it."

Then she memorized the mantra: "Every one enters one, every two enters two... two goes down five goes three, three goes five goes two... four goes six goes one, five goes five goes one... two one adds five... six retreats One for four..."

  Yuan Yunzhong's eyes became brighter.

  He gently touched her head and said, "I'll test you."

  Song Jixue nodded again and again, with the appearance of "you test me quickly, you test me quickly".

  Yuan Yunzhong said: "Seven plus fifteen, what is it equal?"

  Song Jixue didn't even think about it, and immediately said, "Of course it's twenty-two!"

  Yuan Yunzhong said again: "What about thirty-six plus forty-two?"

  Song Jiyun answered faster this time: "Seventy-eight!"

  Yuan Yunzhong said: "One hundred and fifty-three plus three hundred and seventy-six?"

  Song Jixue: "Five hundred and twenty-nine."

   "Five hundred and sixty-nine minus two hundred and ninety-seven?"

   "Two hundred and seventy-two."

  …

Yuan Chongzhong added up again and again, and finally pondered: "Twenty-four thousand three hundred and fifty-four minus nine thousand six hundred and eighty-five, plus nineteen thousand seven hundred and eighty-three, and then minus twenty-six thousand Three hundred and forty-seven?"

  This time Song Jixue thought for a while, but only for a while: "Eight thousand one hundred and five."

  Yuan Yunzhong was silent for a moment.

Song Jixue said anxiously: "Did I calculate wrong?" Then she immediately denied: "No, I can't calculate wrong." Then she asked him: "Is it because I didn't calculate fast enough?" Then she complained angrily : "That's because you don't have an abacus here. If you have an abacus, I can calculate faster."

"No!" Yuan Yunzhong smiled at her, his black eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and said, "I was frightened by the snow! I have never seen a calculation that is faster and more accurate than yours. child."

   "Of course!" Song Jixue became happy again, she chirped and said, "When my father took the exam for my second sister, I often counted it before my second sister could figure it out.

"Song Tianbao and Song Tiancong are even more stupid. Once we went to buy candy, the big sugar man was five cents each, the little sugar man was three cents each, and the three candy sticks were one penny. We pooled together one hundred pennies, and Song Tianbao wanted to buy them. Big sugar people, Song Tiancong wants to buy small sugar people. I said, we can buy twelve big sugar people, four small sugar people, 84 sugar sticks, plus Song Tianhui, we can divide into three big sugar people , a small sugar man, twenty-one candy bars. As a result, they ignored me.

"Song Tianbao bought ten big sugar figures, Song Tiancong bought ten small sugar figures, and then found that there were two more big sugar figures and two more small sugar figures, and Song Tianbao spent 20 Wen more than Song Tiancong. Song Tiancong is not convinced, they even started fighting!"

  Yuan Yunzhong listened carefully to what she said, and agreed: "They are all quite stupid."

   "Really!" Song Jixue got the approval, and became more enthusiastic, and said: "Brother-in-law, I will also test you."

   Before Yuan Yunzhong could speak, she said: "Today there are things that I don't know how to count. Two of three or three, three of five or five, two of seven or seven, how many things?"

  Yuan Yunzhong smiled slightly and said, "Twenty-three."

"Wow! Brother-in-law, you are amazing!" Song Jixue exclaimed, and asked Yuan Yunzhong another question, "Hundreds of rabbits walked into the camp, how many men and women fought. It is difficult to take out one by one, four and three people start You have to stop." She blinked and looked at Yuan Yunzhong, "Brother-in-law, do you know how many people went to catch rabbits?"

  That sly appearance is seven or eight points similar to Song Jiyun.

  Yuan Yunzhong couldn't help pinching her cheeks with a little baby fat, and said with a smile, "Seventy-five people!"

   "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Song Jixue was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

   Yuan Yunzhong asked her: "Who else knows that you are good at arithmetic?"

Song Jixue shook his head, feeling a little depressed, but he still defended his family: "The elder sister is usually very busy, the mother is pregnant with the younger sister, and the second sister... She said that girls can understand the account books and know how many cases there are every month. How much money is enough."

  Most girls are like this.

   But Song Cumulus is different.

  Song Jiyun's younger sister can of course be different.

Yuan Yunzhong comforted her: "Your second sister is wrong. Even if you are a girl, as long as you are good enough, like your elder sister, you can do what boys can do. Look at your elder sister, she is in charge Is it the Song family's business?"

   "Yeah!" Song Jixue smiled into crescents, nodded repeatedly, and said, "My eldest sister is very good! But, brother-in-law, you are also very good."

  Yuan Yunzhong smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Do you want to continue learning arithmetic? If you want to learn, I can hire a teacher for you then."

Song Jixue was a little confused, and said: "But what did I learn? The second sister said that after learning female celebrity, I can make clothes, dress beautifully, and keep warm; learn to cook, so I can eat whatever I want. It can also be cooked for my mother, eldest sister and me. What can I do after learning arithmetic?"

She tilted her head and asked Yuan Yunzhong: "Do you want to be an accountant? But our family already has an accountant. People outside will not invite me. If I become our accountant, won't our accountant be punished?" Fired? Our family can't hire idlers, right? Wouldn't it be necessary to start another wage?"

  Yuan Yunzhong laughed loudly and said, "Then you can help your elder sister manage the kiln factory!"

He made a metaphor: "Look, if you have a sum of money, whether you lend it to others or store it in a bank, there is interest. If you buy the money for mud and keep it, then it will be stored in the mud. Before it becomes porcelain, it can only be placed there without any interest.

"But if you don't buy mud and save it, and buy as much as you need, when you buy less, the mud dealer will only sell it to you at the retail price, and the retail price is much more expensive than the wholesale price. Per catty of mud If the material is spread on porcelain, it will be more expensive than other people's.

   "So, you have to calculate carefully how much clay you need. It can't be too much or too little. It's not something ordinary people can figure out clearly."
