Chapter 1214 Chapter 1214
Song Guanzhou also had someone bring him a gilded copper ruler with flower and bird patterns. He measured the diameter and then used a colored rope to trace the circle around to measure the circumference.
She divided the circumference by the diameter and fiddled with the abacus. Because the measurements were not as neat as they are today, she managed to calculate 3:14.
Seeing this, Xiao Cang said, "I see. But is there any basis for this calculation?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head. "I also stand on the shoulders of my predecessors to eat. How did I get it? I have only learned this much. I heard that our ancestor Liu Hui used the method of cutting a circle to calculate it. To be honest, Cang Ge'er, I don't know..."
Xiao Cang heard this and did not ask any further questions.
He just lowered his head and looked at what Song Guanzhou had written. After a long while, he said faintly, "Logically speaking, yours is probably more accurate, but——"
Everyone was looking forward to it, listening to his but.
"Your handwriting is really disgusting—"
"Xiao Cang!"
No matter how good-tempered Song Guanzhou was, she couldn't stand it. She knew that her writing was not good, but it was not unbearable to look at...
But when he looked up at the circle of talented people, they all showed similar regret in their eyes.
Song Guanzhou felt ashamed for the first time. He covered his face and whispered, "Please forgive me. When I get better, I will definitely copy Silang's calligraphy every day."
Pei Chen squeezed in and said, "Guan Zhou, the flaws do not outweigh the merits! Why do you care about them? They all write beautiful characters, but they can't solve the math problems you are doing today!"
He was the banker and many people bet on Xiao Cang. Although there was no final announcement at this moment, it was almost certain that Song Guanzhou was better, so he earned more.
After this commotion, the bravest sister at the back also lifted the veil, "Fourth sister-in-law, let us take a look at what you wrote..."
Which pot should not be opened and lifted...
Xiao Cang, who was enjoying the fun, held up the mess that Song Guanzhou had just written and handed it to the girls. Xiao Yinhui took a look and exclaimed, "Fourth sister-in-law, your handwriting is like your personality and it doesn't count at all."
Xu Lingqiao leaned over to take a look. Originally she thought these people were really bullying her. No matter how useless her cousin was, how bad could she write? But when she took a closer look, ouch!
Is this really my cousin’s handwriting?
She couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, did you really write this?"
Good guy!
Song Guanzhou was teased by her own family members, and her face turned red. She wanted to save money today, so she wore a narrow-sleeved top, and her thin arms could not cover her face...
She was also smart. She simply took Pei An's wide sleeve and covered half of her face. "Silang, everyone is laughing at you. Go and beat them away!"
She was coquettish and not at all shy.
With a flushed face and eyes as white as smoke, Huang Zhi, who was behind the crowd, took a look and immediately looked away. Little did he know that Xu Lingqiao, who had a smile on her face, became as if struck by thunder and became panic-stricken when she saw him!
"As for calligraphy, Huang Sanlang's calligraphy is also pretty good. If you don't mind, Madam, I'll ask Huang Sanlang for a few pieces for you."
There was laughter and chatter.
Song Guanzhou put down Pei An's wide sleeves, his eyes shining like fire, "Thank you, Mr. Huang, but I am not very talented, and I can only copy a little bit of Si Lang's works, which is enough."
What a joke! I already have a husband, how could I possibly copy a man’s calligraphy?
What's more, Huang Zhi and Pei An don't get along very well... Of course, that's in the future.
No one noticed Xu Lingqiao who was standing there in a daze with a pale and helpless face. Her hands and feet were cold. She finally regained consciousness and was about to look up, but she saw the man who had appeared in her dreams several times, looking at her from under the gauze curtain lifted by the Xiao sisters.
Their eyes met, and Huang Zhi stared intently - yes, it was the woman from that night.
He was about to speak, but Xu Lingqiao suddenly turned around, her pale face full of fear, and she quickly left with Lianhua. Lianhua was puzzled, "Cousin, do you want to change clothes?"
"Let's go back to Rongfuyuan first. I have a headache."
Hearing what Xu Lingqiao said, Lianhua saw that her face was pale and her palms were sweaty and cold. She was a little worried, "Did you catch some heat and have an attack now?"
Xu Lingqiao was too weak to speak and could only shake his head.
Huang Zhi reacted now and chased after him. The woman's frightened expression made her even more certain that it was just a fleeting affair more than a month ago.
He chased after her, walked a few steps along the lotus pond, and went around the rockery, but the woman's graceful figure could no longer be seen.
When he was about to leave again, he met Linxi, who took the initiative to ask, "Does the Third Young Master have any instructions?"
Huang Zhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
She asked for a convenient place and left slowly. When she came back, the outcome was already decided and Song Guanzhou had a sure chance of winning. However, she did not seem to be very happy. Instead, she was discussing the test questions with Xiao Cang.
Pei Jian and several elders also gathered around Song Guanzhou, who had difficulty walking, to discuss the matter together.
Upon seeing this, the female relatives slowly dispersed, but the men remained silent.
Song Guanzhou talked freely, pointing to many math problems that had been explained by Pei An, and asked about them one by one, asking about the ancient methods of solving the problems. When Xiao Cang asked about the solution to a linear equation with three variables, Song Guanzhou replaced all the special letters with the original names.
She was still in high spirits, but she still couldn't control the ink well with the brush dipped in ink. Plus, she had a bold personality and her calligraphy was casual. After a few strokes, people couldn't bear to look at it.
But they couldn't help but look at it, and everyone had to put up with her crooked handwriting.
right--
She could only write vertically, Song Guanzhou wailed, the computer would fly away if she wrote horizontally, let alone vertically.
She could read traditional Chinese characters but not write them, and her simplified characters were wrong. She didn't care at this moment. She could copy the original questions and write them crookedly. If she didn't have any, she would write simplified characters...
There are no horizontal rows or vertical columns, the ink control is not good, and there are a few ink dots from time to time...
Pei An: ...Why don't I write it for you?
"No, no, no, Shiro doesn't know how I write."
After she finished writing the formula, she began to use the method of substitution and elimination, demonstrating it to Xiao Cang and several elders using the simplest modern method.
The speed was fast and the abacus made a crackling sound.
“Good solution, not hard to learn.”
Pei Jian said sincerely, "Guan Zhou has this ability, even if he goes to a college to be a teacher, it will be no problem."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand quickly, "Father, you are too kind. Look at my calligraphy. Not to mention being a teacher or a master, I am afraid the dean would not want me even if I were to be a student in the academy."
This……
Everyone was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Xiao Cang was very puzzled and looked at Xu Lingbai, "Cousin Xu, is it because the Grand Secretary dotes on Guan Zhou too much that he doesn't want her to suffer the hardship of practicing calligraphy?"
Xu Lingbai waved his hand and spoke for his cousin, "Guan Zhou is good at reading and calculating. Not only is he rare among women, but he is also more capable than a scholar like me. As the prince said, his flaws do not outweigh his merits."
After the competition, several elders took out rewards. Song Guanzhou, as the champion, naturally got more, while Xiao Cang was slightly inferior and got less.
"I lost to Guan Zhou, so how can I have the dignity to ask for these rewards? Elders, please give them all to Guan Zhou."
