The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 222

Pei An was extremely worried. He supported Song Guanzhou and whispered, "He is childish. Don't bet with him. This is not an ordinary game."

"Shiro, are you afraid that I'm not as good as him?"

Pei An Weizheng said, "Mathematics is not just simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are many algorithms involved, and it involves many aspects. It is not as simple as you think."

Xiao Cang mocked, "That's right, cousin, please talk to her carefully, otherwise she will be ignorant and think it's just adding and subtracting. If you make it clear that she wants to surrender, I will accept it."

After that, he raised his chin with pride and said to his eldest and fourth brothers, "Don't accuse me of bullying a woman!"

Xiao Du almost slapped him, "Aren't you just bullying your fourth cousin's wife? Apologize quickly, and I will pretend you never said those nonsense."

Xiao Cang sneered and looked at Song Guanzhou with malice, "Fourth sister-in-law - do you want me to take it back?"

Song Guanzhou stood on the steps. Under the eaves, the wind chimes made by Qintong and Qingfei were hung in the corner under the eaves. The midday breeze was blowing gently, making clear chimes that calmed his mind and spirit.

Pei Qiuyu and the second wife Pei Shuyu and Mei Qingyu invited the three girls and two sisters-in-law of the Xiao family to go to the West Garden to view the lotus. At this time, they brought their maids, carrying food, and each of them was holding a round fan and a silk scarf, talking and laughing as they passed by Shaohua Garden.

Seeing Mu San standing at the door with his head down and stamping his feet, Wang Qionglan from Xiao Du's family waved him over and said, "What are you doing? You're wandering outside Shaohua Garden. I'm afraid you might be mistaken for a thief."

Mu San whispered, "Madam, the eldest, fourth and fifth sons are here with our cousin." It turned out that Xiao Cang had privately asked him to go out and find an abacus. He knew what the abacus was for, so he naturally couldn't take it.

He was reluctant to give his report and lingered at the door.

When Wang Qionglan heard this, she looked at Zhang Fanghui and asked Pei Qiuyu, "I wonder if your cousin asked your fourth sister-in-law to go with you?"

Pei Qiuyu hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"Fourth sister-in-law doesn't like these things. She refused after I called her twice. I didn't dare to go there again."

Wang Qionglan said, why not go in and ask her -

Pei Qiuyu didn't dare to refuse, so she had to force a smile, "I hope Fourth Sister-in-law won't scold me for not calling her." Zhang Fanghui heard this and gently squeezed her hand, "Don't worry, when did your Fourth Sister-in-law become so difficult to talk to?"

There is almost no contact.

Thus, a group of women in gorgeous clothes walked into Shaohua Garden one after another. Before they could speak, they heard Xiao Cang standing under the rose rack in the hallway, staring with dazed eyes at a couple named Tan and Xie under the eaves.

"No, just busy yourself for a few days. Whatever you say, I'll do it for you."

Song Guanzhou's voice was deep and his expression was concentrated, he was unusually calm.

Xiao Cang said, "Okay! From the perspective of mathematics, it involves everything from square fields, millet, decline points, Shaoguang, business merit, and equal distribution. If you have any objections, just raise them."

Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and pulled Pei An down the stone steps. "I don't quite understand some of the words. How about Silang explaining them to me?"

Xiao Du held his forehead with his hand, and Xiao Bei turned his head away, expressing his dismay that Song Guanzhou couldn't even understand the nouns.

Xiao Cang was about to mock him, but Song Guanzhou raised his hand and said, "Let me figure it out first." He then turned to look at Pei An and said, "Explain it to me in plain words."

Wang Qionglan and her sisters walked over and stood next to Xiao Du. When they were about to salute, Xiao Du stopped them and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I was going to come in and invite Guanzhou to enjoy the scenery. What happened?"

Xiao Bei kept silent. Rendong had already asked the maids to bring stools and drum benches, and asked everyone to sit down.

Song Guanzhou and Pei An took the time to greet everyone. Xiao Cang urged, "Don't interrupt. Cousin, hurry up and explain it to her!" What a joke. They didn't even understand it, and they still dared to compete?

Compare it to what?

Pei An had no choice but to ask, "Guan Zhou, which one don't you know?"

Guan Zhou tilted his head and asked, "Is square field used to calculate the area of ​​fields of different shapes?"

"area?"

It was everyone's turn to be confused.

Song Guanzhou moved the teacup away and took out the tray. "For example, calculate how big this shape or a circle or a trapezoid is, right?"

Pei An concentrated on thinking for a while, "So, how big are the straight fields, the Gui fields, the Xie fields, the Min fields, the round fields, and the circular fields?"

Song Guanzhou understood.

It's just a different name from modern mathematics. She nodded, "I know that. What is decay?"

Pei An fell into deep thought again, but Xiao Du smiled and said, "Cousin, let me tell you something, please listen and see if you can understand it."

Song Guanzhou nodded, "Thank you, cousin. Please continue."

"The share of the loss is calculated according to different proportions. For example, in terms of taxes, Dalang has 560 taels of money, Erlang has 320 taels of money, and the customs duty is 10 taels. How much tax should each of them pay? I wonder if my sister-in-law can understand what I mean?"

Song Guanzhou smiled and replied, "That's fine."

Xiao Cang poured cold water on him, "It won't be that easy then. It will definitely be much more difficult."

Song Guanzhou's view of ancient mathematics had also changed a lot at this moment. She smiled and said, "I underestimated you, but from what Silang and Big Brother said, it's just that the names are different, and the calculation methods should be similar."

At this moment, Song Guanzhou felt ashamed for underestimating ancient mathematics.

She gradually straightened her mind and asked, "What about Shao Guang?"

Pei An pondered for a moment, took the square tray, pointed at it and said, "If this is a square field, you know how big it is and how wide the field is. How to calculate the width..." As he spoke, he pointed to the area and length of the tray and said that he needed to calculate the width.

Song Guanzhou was amazed. "Knowing the area, we can find the side length. So, can we also find the diameter of a circular field by knowing the area?"

At this point, she laughed.

"I am reckless, but it is indeed interesting. Xiao Cang, I promise to compete with you once, but I have a request."

Xiao Cang narrowed his eyes. He was close to Song Guanzhou and could see his clean and beautiful face clearly. "You say!"

"You and I both have weaknesses. You have difficulty seeing things, and I have difficulty understanding these things. How about this, you bring an assistant to help you read the questions, and I also want Shilang to be by my side to read the questions with me."

Oh my god!

One is truly blind, the other is blind with eyes open!

After Song Guanzhou finished speaking, she was happy. She turned her head and looked at Pei An, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days. "Silang, I want you to read these questions to me in my way of understanding before I can calculate them."

Why not?

Pei An nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Cang snorted, "Then I want my fourth brother to help me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Du scolded, "Your fourth brother is about to take the imperial examination. If you really need help, I will come in person. How about that?" As soon as Xiao Du finished speaking, Xiao Bei gloated, "Big brother is personally coming down to the exam to look at the questions with you, why don't you kowtow and thank him quickly."

Xiao Cang snorted, "Forget it, how can I refuse? I just ask you not to hold me back."

Seeing that he agreed, Song Guanzhou asked, "Who set the question?"
