The two frolicked for a while, but they were relieved and happy like never before. The eldest lady got her wish, so she let him walk back holding her little hand. Anyway, it was dark and windy, so no one could see clearly. Looking at the sweet smile of the eldest lady, Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, I still need to experience this love scene, if I miss Yuruo, it will be a lifelong regret.
When they returned to the mansion, Mrs. Song and the others were waiting anxiously, and the eldest lady blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone didn't know what happened, not to mention that there was no one who blamed the master for this matter, and this matter was easily covered up.
Seeing that the young miss's clothes were half wet, Mrs. Song said distressedly: "Miss, go take a bath and change clothes, it's cold outside, don't catch the wind and cold."
The eldest lady hummed, glanced at Lin San, and said softly: "You also go and wash quickly."
"Together—" Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, Lin Wanrong made a mouth gesture, the young miss gave him a slightly annoyed look, and hurried away with a blushing face.
Of course, washing together can only be a joke. There are maids serving in the eldest lady's house, so he can't go in and take care of their master and servant. The eldest lady had just regained her mood, so he naturally had to hold back for a few days, so as not to let her talk anymore.
For the next two days, Lin Wanrong really put away his wolf tail, and prepared some things for the flower viewing party with the eldest lady every day, making suggestions, talking jokes, and hugging and kissing by the way, and it was a joyous time. An Biru hadn't appeared since that night's turmoil. Lin Wanrong was worried about Xian'er, but when she thought about their intimate relationship between master and apprentice, she no longer worried.
Although the days are happy, he misses Qiaoqiao more and more in his heart, as well as the talented girl Luo who is far away in Jining. The matter of Qingxuan naturally became his heart disease, pressing on his heart like a stone. If Qingxuan is really Dahua's princess, the only way to see her is to go to the palace. But how to enter the palace
Recalling the joke I made when I parted with Qingxuan, if I couldn't find her, I would post her portraits everywhere in Beijing. Although it was just a joke, it was not so useless. Taking advantage of his spare time, he recalled Qingxuan's appearance, wrote down the picture, and vividly engraved the woman he missed day and night on the paper.
This morning, everything was almost ready. The eldest lady ordered Mrs. Song to take out the recent account book, transcribe and check it again, and then the eldest lady would calculate the income herself.
Xiao Yuruo spent the past few days rubbing hands with him, touching his temples, and his love was already as deep as the ocean. Seeing him yawning, thinking about how diligent and diligent he seemed to have changed his temper these few days, and knowing that he didn't like to use a pen to do it. Then he said softly: "Aren't you going to visit Mr. Xu? After today is over, we will visit Xu's mansion tomorrow. Speaking of which, I haven't visited Mr. Xu in the past few days since I was in Beijing. It’s really disrespectful.”
Lin Wanrong nodded, seeing that Yu Ruo was so considerate of himself, he was too embarrassed to wander around, so he went to the eldest lady to watch her keep the accounts. I saw the eldest lady raised her wrist slightly, and her lower script was like the wind, writing down the account bit by bit, and then doing the calculation. I don't know if I don't look at it, after a few glances, Lin Wanrong frowned.
It turns out that stores use "chips" for bookkeeping, which is not only troublesome to count, but also more complicated to calculate. Seeing Xiao Yuruo's tender little hands constantly copying and transcribing, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but shake his head. If this counts, what year and month will it take? If nothing else, even if the young lady's little hands continue to be tortured like this, she will definitely not be able to bear it. !
He sighed and said, "Miss, is this how you calculated?"
Xiao Yuruo said charmingly, "That's right, it's been calculated like this since the ancestors, what's wrong? You like to make a fuss."
Lin Wanrong picked up a pen and wrote a crooked "○" on the paper, and asked, "Do you know this number, miss?"
Yu Ruo shook her head and said, "What is this? Why is it so strange!"
Lin Wanrong threw down his pen and sighed, it seems that the Arabic numerals have not been transmitted yet. He had a wealth of mathematical knowledge in his previous life. He naturally knew that Arabic numerals were introduced to China around the 14th century. It started to be promoted in China, six hundred years later than in Europe.
Damn, six hundred years, during these six hundred years, Chinese technology is far behind Europe, could it be related to this counting method? This is the foundation!
He paced back and forth for a few steps, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. There is no doubt that Arabic numerals and various algorithms based on this are more concise and effective to use, which is beneficial to the progress of technology in the whole society. It goes without saying.
He clapped his hands suddenly, "Go, I'm going to mess with the Arabic numerals. It's simple and effective. These basic sciences are much more useful than those technologies that fly out of nowhere to make gunpowder and cannons." I believe that with the wisdom of Dahua people, with this simple and effective calculation method, catching up with Europe is not a dream.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, he grabbed the pen from Xiao Yuruo's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't be too busy, I will teach you a simple and effective counting method, which is guaranteed to be much more affordable than yours."
He took a pen and wrote down ten Arabic numerals and four arithmetic symbols, and explained the meanings to the eldest lady one by one. If Xiao Yu is in business, he is naturally sensitive to these numbers. After listening for a while, he suddenly became interested and said with a smile. : "Where did you learn these things, it sounds really simple."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "The secret must not be leaked, but if you promise to let me kiss it, it doesn't matter if I leak it."
Xiao Yuruo glanced at him, and shyly said: "Speak a few words with you, and you won't be serious again. If you want to kiss, go find that Hu Meizi named An."
Khan, this girl is addicted to holding grudges, her face is no longer thick, she laughed twice and was about to force the overlord to bow, but saw Huan'er running in with a blushing face: "Eldest Miss, Third Brother, Hubu Shangshu Master Xu Wei is here with his wife and miss."
Damn, I was thinking of visiting Lao Xu, but I didn't expect this old man to come first, and brought his wife and young lady with him. The wife is Su Qinglian, isn't that lady Xu Zhiqing? Didn't this chick come to visit me? I'm currently in the period of abstinence, and it's difficult to fulfill my old promise.
He was thinking sadly, when the eldest lady over there had already said joyfully: "Please hurry up!"
While talking, there was a burst of laughter from outside the door: "Miss Xiao, Brother Lin, the old man came here uninvited, you two should not take offense." Three people walked in one by one outside the door, the leader with a thin face, The spirit is hale and hearty, it is Xu Wei, the number one scholar in the world. Next to him was the white-haired and beautiful Hangzhou famous actress Su Qinglian, and behind him was the very knowledgeable Miss Xu Zhiqing.
The eldest lady had already got up and went to greet her, respectfully saluted: "Little girl Xiao Yuruo pays homage to Master Xu, Madam and Miss."
Xu Wei laughed and helped her up and said, "Young Miss, why are you so polite? In the old days in Jinling, this old man was still under the care of Miss Guo."
Su Qinglian was in Hangzhou in the past because of the matchmaking of these two people, she was naturally grateful, and she also smiled: "Your Excellency said it very well, it is thanks to Young Master Lin and the Eldest Miss that my husband and I can have today, Qing Lian has no regrets." memorable."
Xu Zhiqing grabbed Xiao Yuruo and said, "Is this the younger sister of the Xiao family? Sure enough, she was born beautiful and dignified, with a great appearance. I wanted to talk to my younger sister a long time ago, but I just got free today. I hope my younger sister will not blame me."
The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Where did my sister say that? When Yu Ruo first arrived in the capital, she should have visited Mr. Xu and her sister first. However, she has been busy with business recently and has no time to spare. She is planning to visit the mansion tomorrow. She did not expect to call Xu My lord took the lead, as a junior, I really feel ashamed."
Lin Wanrong listened to them dropping their book bags in a polite manner. The boss was not used to it, so he clasped his fists with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, long time no see, how are you? Sister Su, how are you? Miss Xu, how are you too!"
Xu Zhiqing continued to talk to Xiao Yuruo as if she didn't hear what he said. Since she entered the room, she had never glanced at Lin Wanrong, which made Lin's heart ache. Damn it, the pistol shot that day was for nothing. Waste of bullets.
Of these two women, Xu Zhiqing was five or six years older, they were both beautiful and intelligent, after a few words, the older sister and younger sister called them out affectionately. Lin Wanrong shook his head when he heard that, the friendship of women really came cheap.
He turned his head and glanced at Su Qinglian, and said with a smile: "Sister Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become younger and more beautiful. I think it must be the credit of Mr. Xu's nourishment and irrigation. I congratulate you two here, and thank you for the matchmaker." When will you buy me a drink? Haha!"
He is Xu and Su's big matchmaker, and they are so familiar with each other, it's okay to make some jokes, but the two young ladies who were talking over there blushed and cursed shamelessly.
Su Qinglian is a person who has been beaten in the world of mortals. Hearing him speak half meat and half vegetarian, she couldn't help blushing, and said shyly: "Mr. Lin, don't make fun of me. It's all because of you that Qing Lian is here today." Ci, today I came here specially to thank the matchmaker."
Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled, echoing, "That's right. Brother Lin is our great benefactor!"
Old man Xu's complexion is much better than when he was in Jinling. It seems that Sister Su is also a wonderful person who supports others. He smiled dirty twice, pulled Xu Wei and whispered: "Mr. It’s okay to eat some more, but there is one thing I need to ask for your help.”
Xu Wei said strangely: "It's very rare to be able to ask brother Lin to ask for help. Tell me quickly and listen to it. As long as Xu can do it, he will definitely obey."
Lin Wanrong chuckled, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to enter the palace!"
