Datang New Giants

Chapter 8

Lu Ting looked at the second uncle and Lin Zhengshi who were still chatting, and finally put his eyes on Zheng Yanzhi's pretty face, arched his hands, and said in a low voice: "I misunderstood Miss Xiaozhi just now, I have to tell Miss Xiaozhi here. no."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Zheng Yanzhi said in a daze.

"At first I thought Miss Xiaozhi was prejudiced against me, but now I realize that Miss Xiaozhi not only has no prejudice, but also helps secretly. Lu Ting has remembered this kindness."

Wait, I just look down on Lu Ting, a prodigal son who likes to drink flowers and wine, and has a pair of thieves' beads. I just have a prejudice against him. When did I help him secretly?Is this prodigal son out of his mind or deliberately speaking ironically to satirize himself.

"What do you mean by that?" Zheng Yanzhi asked bluntly, not wanting to be polite to him.

Lu Ting said with a smile: "This question is too simple, I don't need to get dark, I can give the result now."

What?Too easy?
Zheng Yanzhi was a little petrified on the spot. She is a genius who is also praised by Professor Mingsuan. It took a whole day to understand this question thoroughly. This prodigal son said it was easy?It doesn't even take an hour, and the result can be given now?Could it be that he has done this kind of problem?No, this question is a new one based on the original question. In the whole Tang Dynasty, only I know the answer. It is impossible. He must not be able to do it, and deliberately deceived himself.

Feeling turbulent in her heart, Zheng Yanzhi didn't show it on her face, she just said indifferently: "Really? What's the result?"

"There are 46 pheasants and 24 rabbits, right?"

Really, really figured it out, Zheng Yanzhi opened her mouth, her eyeballs were about to fall off, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "How did you figure it out, so fast."

Oh my god, this Lu Ting doesn't need a fundraiser, he doesn't even need a pen and paper to enumerate, just do mental calculations like this?Still human?
"It's a very simple question. As long as you grasp the skills, you can calculate it quickly. The main thing is Miss Xiaozhi's saving face. By the way, I wonder how long Miss Xiaozhi spent to calculate it?"

Zheng Yanzhi turned out to be as pretty as an iceberg with a blush on her face, she pretended to be calm and said: "It's not as good as Xiao Langjun, it took me a quarter of an hour."

In order not to be too embarrassing, Zheng Yanzhi said that she would solve it in a quarter of an hour, and Lu Ting couldn't even calculate it without having to spend half a cup of tea.

"Nowadays there are objects whose number is not known. Three or three leaves one, five or five leaves four, and seven or seven leaves six. How many objects are there?"

Still taking the exam?Isn't this a problem in Sun Tzu's arithmetic?The original question is "I don't know the number of things today, the number of three or three is two, the number of five or five is three, the number of seven or seven is two, ask the geometry of the object", but the value has changed, and the soup is not changed at all. .

After a little thought, Lu Ting quickly responded, "34."

That's right again!
The first time was a fluke, the second time was an accident, and the third time was right, it was definitely due to strength, but Lu Ting still didn't need money, pen and ink, and could quickly write out mental calculations, is he still human?Zheng Yanzhi looked at Lu Ting, not knowing what to say for a while.

Isn't there a second answer? 34 is also right. Just when Lu Ting was about to ask, Zheng Yanzhi couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Xiao Lang figured it out so quickly, I wonder if you can share the skills of solving the problem?"

Zheng Yanzhi didn't care about anything else, and was most interested in calculating. In order to calculate clearly, she didn't care if she didn't eat or sleep. Lu Ting was not only good at mental arithmetic, but also good at solving problems, especially when he mentioned "skills", which made her Zheng Yanzhi's heart ached, and she couldn't help asking.

If you don't ask, you won't be able to sleep at night.

The little maidservant changed her face very quickly. Just now she had icebergs with white eyes. After she showed her hands, the icebergs on Qiaoqiao’s face disappeared, and the white eyes were gone. There was still a faint light of worship in her eyes. She even called herself Xiaolangjun. My little fan girl, why isn't she arrogant?

Lu Ting didn't speak, and glanced at the empty teacup. How could Zheng Yanzhi fail to understand what Lu Ting meant, and a sullen look suddenly appeared on her pretty face, but the sullen look faded away quickly. After a moment of hesitation, she still lifted the teapot and gave it to her Lu Ting's teacup poured tea.

One cup is poured, and two cups are also poured. As long as you get his problem-solving skills, pouring a cup of tea is no big deal. Anyway, no one knows your identity. No chance to see myself again.

Lu Ting took a sip of tea happily, touched his stomach, and said to himself: "I asked my second uncle to come here early in the morning. I didn't eat breakfast. I'm a little hungry, so I don't have the energy to talk. If there is A few pieces of pastries would be the best."

This prodigal son gave him three colors and even opened a dyeing workshop. He made an inch of it, believe it or not. My lady yelled, and her mouth was swollen. Zheng Yanzhi was furious. The slave tried to teach Lu Ting a lesson, but when he saw the beads on the table, he bit his red lips lightly, calmly brought a plate of snacks to Lu Ting, and forced a smile: "This is fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cake, please enjoy it. "

For such a complicated question, Lu Ting has the answer in a blink of an eye. The technique in his mouth must be very good. I want to know it without paying anything. No less, serving dish snacks is nothing, and besides, what I respect is his knowledge, not him as a person.

After she figured it out, Zheng Yanzhi's mood also improved a lot.

The second uncle accidentally saw that Lu Ting was drinking tea and eating snacks, and asked Lin Zhengshi curiously: "My lady, it's not that Xiaozhi is your right-hand man, but she is a bit high-minded, it doesn't look like it."

It was Lin Zhengshi who greeted the two of them just now. Seeing that Xiaozhi was a little strange, the second uncle asked curiously. Lin Zhengshi said that Xiaozhi was her new maidservant, very capable, but a bit high-minded and not easy to convince others. I liked her very much, so I let her do it, and asked my second uncle and Chen Xundao to forgive me, I didn't expect to make tea and serve Lu Ting some snacks after meeting each other.

Xiaozhi pouring tea for others is enough to surprise people, and now she is serving snacks for others, Lin Zhengshi almost thought that she was dazzled, but in the Lin family, several clans always wanted to please Xiaozhi, so they just didn't even glance at the end of their eyes , Lu Ting is an unlearned and incompetent prodigal son, how can the over-the-top Xiaozhi serve him?
You won't let that brat fool you, will you?

"Maybe we can chat, let them do it." After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he said casually: "Lu Lang, I didn't expect that my nephew and grandson are still a master of calculations, but my family is blind."

The little niece is stubborn, proud, and intelligent. Ordinary people can't fool her at all. They can change her mind, which shows that Lu Ting is very good at calculation. Young man, I don't know when he was so good at calculating.

Among other things, the mental arithmetic ability alone is superior to others.

When Lin Zhengshi spoke, Chen Xundao also pricked up his ears, and he was equally curious about him. Since he is a Suzhou instructor, and he is an old acquaintance with his second uncle, he thought he knew Lu Ting like the back of his hand. It's so powerful that even Chen Hai was defeated. This time, he didn't get an errand and even had a feast of wine. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army. If there is a genius in Suzhou, recommend him to participate in Mingsu In the imperial examination, the rankings in the examination also have the merits of enlightenment.

The second uncle stroked the beard on his chin, and said modestly: "Boy Lu Ting, if I don't learn so many advantages, I will learn from my modesty. Show off like some people do."

Speaking of this, the second uncle glanced at Chen Xundao intentionally or unintentionally, and Chen Xundao was so angry on the spot, if Lin Zhengshi was not present, he really wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight this old man, and he would not be able to survive if he didn't talk badly , Fortunately, he used to call himself brothers and sisters, saying that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. Judging by his stingy appearance, it is clear that if he "touches his clothes", his brothers and feet will be chopped off.

Seeing Chen Xundao's twitching old face, the second uncle felt complacent, and smiled even more on his face, and said with a smile: "When Lu Ting's late father was alive, he said that he was very interested in accounting when he was three years old, and maybe he was interested in learning at that time. Well, the old man has always warned the Lu family's children to be down-to-earth and low-key, just like the old man, if the lady observes more carefully, she will definitely find more advantages."

Lin Zhengshi was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Lu Lang is really funny."

Chen Xun was even more depressed, rolled his eyes, moved his lips, but finally didn't curse out, arguing with such a shameless person would damage his own status, and he knew what Lin Zhengshi liked about this farmer , be polite with me, whether it is words or manners, there is a ladylike demeanor everywhere, when Lu Zhengming, a farmer's slave, covered his mouth and smiled twice; that Lu Ting was not a good person, and he coaxed Miss Xiaozhi waited on him.

There is nothing good in the Lu family.
