Chapter 163 How ridiculous!
Qin Xuerong's words drew everyone's attention back to Shen Shuyi.
Old Madam Shen and Shen Jingchuan also turned their heads and saw Shen Shuyi wearing a sea-blue skirt, still sitting in her previous position.
He did not surround Lou Yulan like the others did and ask for advice in detail.
Shen Jingchuan remained silent, while Old Madam Shen said, "Sister Yi was recuperating in the Jade Buddha Temple before, and she was not very familiar with these things. Is there anything you don't understand now that you see them?"
"But your mother is right. This is a rare opportunity. Even if you don't understand, you should listen carefully. You will improve to some extent."
Old Madam Shen's eyes were gentle, and she sincerely hoped that Shen Shuyi could also learn skills like Shen Youran.
After all, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Unlike Shen Jingyu, who is well-known in the capital, and Shen Jingzhen, who is loved by everyone, her biological mother died early and her maternal grandfather's family is not in power.
Without the genuine love of elders, future marriage is bound to be difficult.
Therefore, she always hoped that the child could grow up and earn a good future with his own abilities.
After hearing what Old Madam Shen said, Shen Jingchuan also looked at his daughter whom he had neglected a lot, and said in a gentle voice: "Shuyi, why don't you go?"
Lou Zhengtao glanced at Shen Shuyi and said bluntly, "Maybe Second Miss Shen doesn't understand? This account reconciliation thing really sounds confusing and confusing!"
Lou Zhengtao's words made the smile on Shen Jingchuan's face fade again.
After all, no matter how much Shen Shuyi didn't understand, it was not his turn to say these words in the Shen Mansion.
But although Lou Zhengtao didn't take Shen Shuyi seriously, he didn't think there was much of a problem with what he said.
Qin Guiqiong was very angry with her husband, but he was such a straightforward person.
She quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister Yi, if you want to learn, you can ask Yulan to teach you alone later. For now, you can listen together. If you have any questions, your mother will be able to give you some guidance."
Shen Shuyi stood up and said softly, "Auntie, you misunderstood. It's not that Shuyi doesn't want to learn. It's just that Cousin Lan's way of checking accounts is quite different from the way Shuyi usually uses. So Shuyi was confused for a while and couldn't make up her mind. I don't know whether I should learn it or not."
Shen Shuyi's words stunned everyone in the group.
Zhang from the second house subconsciously said, "Sister Yi also knows how to check the accounts?"
Shen Jingchuan also said: "Your grandmother and mother are here today, and your father is here too. If you have any questions or are confused, just tell us, and we will help you solve your doubts."
Shen Shuyi looked at Shen Jingchuan, his voice clear and clean.
"Yes, father."
Lou Yulan's expression remained unchanged. She looked as if she was listening attentively, but she was sneering in her heart.
Shen Shuyi has lived in the Jade Buddha Temple for a long time, and he probably doesn't even know how to read or write. How can he talk about reconciling the accounts as the head of the family?
She wanted to see what she was planning.
Shen Shuyi walked to the middle and said calmly, "My daughter watched cousin Lan checking the accounts and reconciling the accounts. She could do two things at the same time. She could look through the accounts with one hand and memorize them by heart, and at the same time use the abacus to calculate quickly. She is really smart and admirable."
Shen Shuyi first expressed her admiration for Lou Yulan, and then changed the subject: "It's just that my daughter can't help but think, if you can save the time of moving the abacus, can you calculate faster? And it will be easier."
Shen Shuyi's words made everyone stunned for a moment, as if they had never expected her to say such a thing.
Lou Zhengtao was the first to laugh out loud: "Second Miss is right! But you have to know that it is impossible to do mental arithmetic without an abacus! Even if you can, you can't do it at this speed. Not only will the result not be accurate enough, but it will only waste more time!"
Lou Yulan originally thought that Shen Shuyi had some brilliant ideas, but she didn't expect to hear such words. She felt relieved and a little more contemptuous.
She didn't show it on her face, but instead put on a gentle look as if she was thinking seriously.
After a long while, he smiled and said softly: "Cousin Yi, this idea is indeed very good, but it is difficult to realize. As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, few people can do fast internal calculations without the help of tools."
Qin Xuerong looked at Shen Shuyi and said softly, "Sister Yi has never learned to use an abacus, nor has she ever checked accounts, so she doesn't know the difficulties and mysteries involved. It's really a bit unrealistic."
Shen Shuyi was not annoyed, and said directly: "As far as Shuyi knows, the method of relying on intuition and mental arithmetic without the help of tools is called internal arithmetic. The ancient book "Nine Chapters of Mathematics" once mentioned its secret. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, there was a master Jiu Zhao in the palace who was proficient in the Nine Chapters of Mathematics. He could not only check accounts with internal arithmetic, but also deploy troops and calculate the calendar."
Hearing this, Lou Yulan's eyes were full of piety. After listening to Shen Shuyi's words seriously, she said again: "What cousin Yi said is right, but internal calculation is not easy. Nowadays, there are very few people who master it. Therefore, even if it has thousands of benefits, it is useless if it is difficult to achieve."
Shen Jingchuan nodded and said, "I have also heard of the Master Jiu Zhao that Sister Yi mentioned. The Nine Chapters of Mathematics is indeed obscure and difficult to understand. I don't blame you for not knowing how difficult it is, but it is not easy for you to think of this."
Qin Guiqiong smiled and said, "Indeed, if we can do without the abacus and rely only on internal calculations, the time for checking the accounts will naturally be much faster. Although what Yijie thinks is right, we women who are learning to manage a household should still be down-to-earth and take it step by step..."
Lou Zhengtao immediately responded, "That's right, Miss Shen, everyone can say this, but if you can't do it, it's all in vain! You should learn the abacus first, then talk about other things."
This time, Shen Jingchuan did not refute.
Although he was on the side of his own children, what he said was true.
Shen Shuyi was not annoyed, and said in a gentle voice: "Although Shuyi does not understand internal arithmetic and has never studied "Nine Chapters on Mathematics", Shuyi has tried it before. It can be achieved without relying on an abacus and only relying on internal arithmetic."
After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, Qin Guiqiong and Qin Xuerong both found it ridiculous. If there hadn't been so many people present, they would have almost laughed out loud.
Haha, this Shen Shuyi is really shameless and has no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!
Lou Yulan was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at Shen Shuyi she felt like he was looking at a fool.
Can she perform fast internal calculations?
Why didn't she say that she could become the queen in the future?
It’s really... ridiculous!
Lou Zhengtao was outspoken and could not help but sneer: "Second Miss Shen, I know you are not convinced by our Lan Jie'er, but you don't have to say such big words to deceive us!"
Shen Jingchuan frowned even more tightly, looked at Shen Shuyi with a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Yi, do you know what you are talking about?"
Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant. She looked back at Shen Jingchuan calmly, her almond eyes clear and she said, "Father, although my daughter is not very good at learning, I dare not speak out of turn, so I am willing to ask cousin Lan for advice."
Shen Jingchuan saw that she looked clear-headed and spoke with conviction.
Although he was skeptical, he couldn't help but say after a while: "Okay! In that case, you can compete with your cousin Lan, and the winner will be rewarded by your father!"
