Chapter 408 ;(1/2)
Chapter 408; Competitive arithmetic?
At the same time, Wen Miaomiao had already delivered the Four Treasures of the Study she had just used to the table in front of Lu Yaoyao.
"Thanks."
Lu Yaoyao smiled and thanked him, then directly dipped his pen into the ink.
Hu Yanlan, who was on the opposite side, also picked up the brush.
"My princess has finished writing."
"Um?"
The Xirong trio opposite were all stunned. Hu Yanlan even turned her head and glanced at Lu Yaoyao, ignoring her as she continued to write her own.
"Hurry up and bring it up for me to see."
Wang De immediately walked down, took a look at it first, and then respectfully presented it to Emperor Hongwen.
"Good, good poem. Wan Fu writes well as always."
After reading it, Emperor Hongwen was very satisfied.
But everyone in Dongzhou below stretched their necks, wanting to know what Lu Yaoyao wrote?
They have all heard about Lu Yaoyao's literary talents. Many people still talk about the poems he wrote at the Dongjia Cultural Conference.
"Your Majesty, could you please let me have a look?"
"No hurry, no rush, Prime Minister Hu Yan hasn't finished writing yet."
Emperor Hongwen waved his hands with a smile.
As soon as they saw him like this, everyone felt at ease.
It seems that the poem "Princess Wanfu" is really good. Look how confident your Majesty is?
Soon Hu Yanlan also finished writing.
"Wang De, please read it to everyone."
Emperor Hongwen handed over the poem Wanfu in his hand.
"Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine. If you want to drink, please drink Pipa immediately."
"Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?"
As soon as Wang De finished reading, everyone below burst into applause.
"Well written."
"Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?"
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
While everyone in Dongzhou was talking, Hu Yanlan's face immediately sank, and she glanced at Lu Yaoyao with a complicated look.
Then he shook his head and kneaded the poem he had written into a ball.
"I lost this game."
"Right Minister, what are you talking about? Haven't you already written it? Let them read it out and let all these Dongzhou people see it."
General Duoyong couldn't accept such a surrender at all, and shouted that he wanted to get the paper ball in front of Hu Yanlan.
Then Hu Yanlan didn't give it to him. The third prince next to him spoke to stop him, and General Duo Yong gave up.
But he was still a little unconvinced.
"Hmph, how could such a poem be written by a little girl like you who has never been on the battlefield?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's faces showed dissatisfaction.
"You, a big monkey, really talk a lot. It is you who are competing with me, and you are the ones who can't afford to lose now."
"If you don't have the guts, don't go out and play around. Isn't it a good idea to lead it by yourself in the wild mountains and ridges of Xirong?"
As soon as Cheng Lixue said these words, everyone laughed again.
"That's right, you are the ones competing, you are the ones setting the questions, and you are the ones who can't afford to lose now."
"Is this something a human can do?"
"Go back to your wild mountains and wander around."
Faced with the ridicule of so many people, General Duoyong was furious.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by the third prince of Xirong.
"We lost this game, Prime Minister Hu Yan, please continue."
"Next, let's compare poems. The topic is..."
"Wait a minute, I mean, this prime minister, does he need a little face?"
Cheng Lixue spoke again.
"You've already given one question, why do you continue to give it?"
"Yes, are all Xirong so shameless?"
Everyone laughed again.
However, Lu Yaoyao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I can do whatever you want with that Prime Minister of Xirong."
As soon as this statement came out, Hu Yanlan was a little embarrassed to ask the question.
"Otherwise, I have a suggestion."
"In Computational Arithmetic, each side will ask a question. The limit is one stick of incense. Whoever solves it first wins?"
When everyone in Dongzhou heard this, they became a little worried.
You know, they have only seen Lu Yaoyao's achievements in poetry and antiphons, but not in arithmetic or anything like that.
"I can do whatever you want."
With these words again, when everyone saw Lu Yaoyao's disapproving look, their confidence increased for no reason.
"Then please ask the princess to come up with a topic."
Lu Yaoyao nodded and quickly wrote a question.
"My question is ready, Prime Minister Xirong, please give the question."
Hu Yanlan nodded and quickly came up with the question.
As soon as the two exchanged words, several people around Lu Yaoyao immediately gathered around.
"There are pheasants and rabbits in a cage today. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the pheasants and rabbits?"
As soon as Wen Miaomiao thought, everyone in the surrounding Dongzhou began to record it.
But the next moment they all frowned.
Looking at Lu Yaoyao again, he laughed when he saw this topic.
Isn't this the common chicken-and-rabbit problem in arithmetic in her previous life?
Isn't it too simple for you? It's just child-level arithmetic, and you dare to show it to shame?
"Princess, this question is very difficult."
Dong Shan'er thought about it for a moment, and immediately frowned.
However, Lu Yaoyao smiled, picked up the pen and wrote directly in the free space below.
"Twenty-three pheasants and twelve rabbits."
"Huh? Is this settled?"
Cheng Lixue's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Yaoyao in great surprise.
"Sister Princess, your answer is not written randomly, right?"
As Lu Yaoyao's super fan girl, I shouldn't question it, but this is a bit too fantasy, so I just read the question for a while and then write the answer directly?
You must know that in her understanding, arithmetic is very complex and rigorous, and it usually takes a long time to calculate.
And he also writes a lot of messy steps to solve the problem. Like Lu Yaoyao, there is no step to solve the problem at all, and he gives the answer directly, and it is so fast, but it has never happened before.
"Children are just playing math."
As soon as she said this, Wen Miaomiao and Dong Shan'er were severely shocked.
Even though both of them are girls, they are both top-notch talented women in the capital, and they are both legitimate daughters. Which one will you marry in the future and not be the mistress of the house?
Therefore, my mother taught me some arithmetic since I was a child. After all, as a mistress, I always have to take care of the expenses of a house.
Although their arithmetic skills are not particularly good, they are still better than some ordinary accountants.
However, when they saw this question, they were all a little confused, and Lu Yaoyao gave the answer directly.
He also said that this is arithmetic for children, which is really shocking.
