Chapter 12 One Coin Li Guanyi stopped and gave way to the carriage. When the carriage stopped, a maid wearing a duck-green coat jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out her hand to help a woman down. It looked like she was not short, wearing a cyan skirt and pink shoes. She was wearing white stockings and had cloud-like hair on her temples. Only her back could be seen, and she was helped in. The coachman whipped the carriage and it stopped steadily against the wall on both sides. Li Guanyi didn't pay attention to this episode. He just handed the letter to the person in the private school and was led inside. This private school occupies a huge area. The person asked Li Guanyi to walk around outside and wait a moment while he went to give the letter to the Liu family's wife. , Li Guan nodded, and waited here, scanning the place with his eyes. Liu's private school. Although I had known for a long time that it was very big, the feeling from the outside was completely different from the inside. Bamboos and orchids were everywhere, and the buildings were hidden inside. People coming and going were as young as seven or eight years old and as old as in their early twenties, all wearing silk and satin clothes. , wearing jade, sword, sachet, gorgeous clothes, holding a book in one hand, walking among them. Li Guanyi was wearing taupe-brown clothes that were washed a little white. He stood here with calm eyes. But thinking about it. Sure enough, the Liu family private school is already huge. If it can be here, it should be more helpful for passing the customs documents in the future. Besides, it is not easy for retail investors to find jobs, let alone the kind of people who have the ability to let retail investors Where to become the principal? Since you have a letter from the old shopkeeper, you might as well give it a try.
While I was thinking about it, I slowly walked around the private school. When I was bored, I saw a group of teenagers arguing over something. If you listen carefully, it turns out that they are arguing about the solution to a math problem. Li Guanyi thought thoughtfully. If he wanted to stay here, it would be best to show some of his abilities. He walked over, watched for a while, and suddenly said: "You got it wrong." The students were thinking about this difficult problem with sad faces, which had troubled them for a whole month. They were shocked by what they heard. They turned around and saw a poor young man in simple clothes. They had been stumped by this math problem for a month, and their brains were twisted like washed clothes. At this moment, they could not help but say angrily: "Tell me, why did I make a mistake in my calculation?" "If you can, do it yourself." Someone slightly older asked: "My little brother said that I was wrong in waiting. I don't know what the mistake was?" "This is a secret topic that the teacher gave us a month ago. We thought hard and couldn't figure it out. The topic is [arrange the nine numbers from one to nine into three columns, regardless of the vertical, horizontal and oblique angles, and each three characters are in phase with each other. Kadu is fifteen, how to arrange it?” "Brother, do you have any solution?" Li Guanyi looked at the nine palace diagram on the table. Different from the previous life, [number] in this era is one of the six arts of the gentleman, and it is not easy to practice. This Nine Palaces Chart was not a difficult task in the previous life, but in this world, without the secret knowledge, it is really painful and time-consuming. There are nine numbers in total, and each number has nine choices. There are so many permutations and combinations that it is enough to make people scalp. tingling. He raised his pen, and a group of handsomely dressed young people surrounded him. As soon as Li Guan started writing, he whispered: "The meaning of the nine palaces is based on the turtle, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right. Nine shoes and one house, five in the center.” In the blink of an eye, the mystery that had trapped these young students for a month was solved. The expressions of the surrounding students changed wonderfully, and they were silent for a moment. In the attic, the young lady who had previously lowered her eyes to look down at her younger brother saw this scene and the dull expressions on the faces of those arrogant students. She thought deeply and said something to the maid next to her, urging her to go down. The maid responded with a smile, turned around and came downstairs. It happened that the disciple who had reported earlier had come out. Li Guan put down his pen and went to a tea room with the disciple. Inside and outside a screen partition, a man in his early forties was sitting there, holding a letter in his hand, asking for something. As soon as Li Guan sat down, he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and said:
"I already know your purpose of coming." "Since it was Brother Zhao's recommendation, I should keep you." "It's just that there are too many people here. Unfortunately, the position recommended by shopkeeper Zhao is no longer available. There are only some small workers. Brother, please try to work here for two months, sweeping every day. The money will be less in the first two months. Don't blame me. ” Probation? Li Guanyi asked: "How much?" The Confucian scholar stroked his beard and stretched out five fingers. Li Guan said, "Yi Guan Wu?" It's pretty much the same as before. The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "No, it's Wu Mo." Originally, one mo was worth one hundred wen, but in actual transactions, out of the desire to take advantage, people often used "short mo" instead of "zumo". The court also recognized this, and only included in the legal provisions "stealing". Those who have five thousand feet of strangers will be punished]. What this Confucian scholar said was clearly just a short journey of strangers. For example, Zumo and Zujin all have this meaning. Seventy-five cents a month, three hundred and seventy-five cents a month, not even the minimum living standard of twenty cents a day. Li Guanyi heard the smell. This was to make him retreat in spite of the difficulties and not want to give up the old man. The shopkeeper was polite and unwilling to accept anyone, so the Confucian scholar served the tea and said with a gentle smile: "However, I suggest you stay." "After working here, you can listen to the students discuss their studies and learn to read and write. This is also a good thing, but it is different from other places." Li Guanyi took a sip of tea. Well, let’s start with PUA first, and then start drawing the pie. Five mos per month is definitely not enough. The minimum living allowance provided by the court in disaster years is more than this, and most people will be forced to leave. In this case, this Confucian scholar will not disgrace the shopkeeper, but he can also say that he is the boss. Li Guanyi was strongly invited to stay, but it was Li Guanyi who refused anyway, so Li Guanyi took the blame. What a good Confucian scholar! Read the book thoroughly. Li Guanyi stood up and said, "No need." A real man has hands and feet, medical skills, and martial arts skills with his fists, so he doesn't need to be humiliated. There was a look of regret on the Confucian scholar's face, but there was a faint smile in his eyes. He stood up and saw each other off, leading the way, and Li Guanyi took the initiative to open the door. His attitude was gentle and regretful, but there was a clear laughter: "Liu Zhuang Master, you don’t know much about daily necessities.” "Five steps a month is still a short trip. Our day laborer can only make more than this amount after working for a few days." Outside was the maid, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bit of baby fat, bright black eyes, and a cute but teasing smile. Master Liuzhuang answered the words naturally, not caring about the yin and yang in it, and just smiled gently: "Scholars are poor, and gentlemen are far away from the kitchen, as Miss Qing'er said." "But I really don't know how to make money." "I don't know. Miss Xue came today. Is she going to play the piano? Haha, I wonder if I will have a chance to listen..." The maid Qing'er rolled her eyes and ignored the scholar whose attitude changed drastically. But when she saw the poor boy, she smiled slightly at his handsome appearance and said, "My young lady saw what you did just now and guessed that you are good at divination. If you don't want to work here, my young lady has a good job for you. How about it?" Li Guanyi hesitated for a while and then agreed. The Qing'er girl smiled, took Li Guan's arm and walked forward, ignoring the Liuzhuang Master, and went to a courtyard. There was faint music behind the screen. Seeing the figure, Li Guan sat down and Qing'er explained the reason. He was planning to find a study companion for his younger brother. Have to try your hand first. Qing'er went behind the screen and brought out a piece of white paper with some simple math problems written on it.
Li Guan took a quick look and saw that they were all simple questions, so he answered them quickly. Martial arts and culture, there is no comparison. For example, Li Guanyi is a novice who has been beaten by his aunt for ten years for his musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting. The counting methods are different. Children in the previous life had to learn mathematics. They learned numbers for three years in kindergarten, went through nine years of compulsory education, and three years of high school. They all went through at least fifteen years of systematic mathematical education. If this were to happen among students of mathematics in this era, they would be like a monster being released from a cage. Qing'er took it back quickly. The young lady sighed and asked, "Did it get done so quickly?" Qing'er said, "Yes, he did it very quickly." The girl took a look and said, "They are all correct." "Just now, I saw the expressions on the faces of those arrogant mathematics students, and I knew how powerful they were. It's true." Qing'er smiled and said, "So you want to hire someone?" "Well, no hurry. I want to see what skills he has." Qing'er knew that her eldest daughter had always been fond of numerology, so she watched her write a more difficult question, which was "Square Field", asking for the area of the square field. Li Guanyi took a look and saw that it was a question about calculating the area of a plane geometry, so he wrote calmly. After finishing it quickly, Qing'er sent the question back. The girl took a look, with some surprise on her face, and wrote down [Corn Topic]. Li Guanyi took a look and saw that it was the conversion ratio of grains. Just answer it. [Decline points question] is just a proportion distribution question. [Shao Guang question] is a question where you need to find the length of one side given the area. [Quotient problem] is to calculate the volume of a solid. Qing'er's green skirt fluttered back and forth in front of and behind the screen like a blooming green lotus. On the screen was an ink painting of Seven Sons Asking for Virtue. On one side was a young lady in elegant clothes, and on the other side was a young man with clear brows and simple clothes sitting at a table. Qing'er was a little out of breath. It was the sixth question. The young lady's writing speed became slower and slower. The smile on her face when she first discovered the talent had gradually faded, with a hint of surprise as if she had seen a monster. However, the speed of answering was the same as before, so stable that it was frightening. Finally, she gritted her teeth and wrote down a question that she had been thinking hard about but had not found a solution for. Li Guanyi took a look. Probably a system of linear equations from a previous life. Is the world's mathematics so outrageous? Does accompanying a child to study need to be at this level? However, since I have seen dragons before, it seems normal. Li Guanyi thought about it and picked up his pen to answer. It was quiet on the other side of the screen. The girl lowered her eyes and counted in her mind. One, two…
The sound of the pen falling was eerily steady. In the end, even the most difficult ninth level of numerology in the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Classic still only took the same amount of time as the first question. Sign off. Qing'er seemed to sense the solemnity of it all and slowed down her breathing. After reading it, the young lady closed her eyes and sighed. Li Guanyi: "Excuse me, how is it?" The eldest lady said a few words to the side, and someone came to pull the screen apart. What Li Guanyi saw was a hand, a white jade-like palm, holding up a finger, hesitating for a moment, and said, "If you don't mind the small amount, how about this number?" Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking: "Always? Sure." The screen opens. The girl in a green dress, with clear eyebrows, a white face like jade, and a little flower ornament on her forehead, smiled softly: "Yes, always." "All day, all the time." Li Guanyi's thoughts froze for a moment. He looked at the girl in front of him who was holding up a finger. All day long? At this moment. He thought the girl was beautiful. (End of this chapter)
