Chapter 159 Change the name
Zheng Sisi said to everyone: "You should memorize the formula first, and then I will teach you how to use the table to make an account book. It is very convenient and quick."
Everyone can only nod in confusion and study hard!
After lunch, the third prince learned the contents of the papers and went to the palace with them. He would go to Zheng Sisi's fiefdom tomorrow and report to the emperor.
Zheng Sisi didn't care what he would say to the emperor, nor did she care whether other people learned Arabic numerals and multiplication tables. She herself had to learn them, because she didn't want to be faced with pages of traditional Chinese characters when looking at account books in the future and be unable to read them all.
After the third prince left, she remembered that she had two blueprints left in the space for a few days, as well as the method of making cement. She could only wait for the next opportunity.
After dinner in the evening, Zheng Sisi was in the study, and Chuntao came to report that the third prince had arrived and was waiting outside the yard.
Zheng Sisi didn’t know what else the Third Prince was going to do. If it were in a big family, men were not allowed to enter the backyard of other people’s houses.
But she was the only master in the mansion, and Zheng Sisi didn't have this concept. She also didn't want to spend all her time walking around the mansion, so she would bring close friends to the yard. There were maids in the yard anyway, so she wasn't worried about affecting her reputation. She was still a divorced person, so she didn't care.
Zheng Sisi asked Chuntao to take the third prince to the study. After serving tea, the door of the study was not closed. Several maids stood far away so as not to affect the conversation between the two but at a distance where they could see each other.
The third prince said, "County Lady, I have shown my father the Arabic numerals and the formulas you wrote. My father was also very shocked and said that he would summon you to the palace to explain it to him in detail when you return."
Zheng Sisi nodded: "No problem, when we come back we can see the effect of their recitation in the mansion, then it will be more convincing."
The third prince smiled and said, "You are really good at looking for trouble."
Zheng Sisi thought of the blueprint and said, "Third Prince, last time I..."
Before Zheng Sisi finished speaking, the Third Prince raised his hand to interrupt her: "I think Zhong Ruiyu is right. This kind of address feels awkward. Now I call you the County Princess and you call me the Third Prince. Don't you feel awkward?"
Zheng Sisi agreed very much. She had never been used to adding a title before speaking. Nowadays, people just call each other by their names, which is much more convenient.
Zheng Sisi nodded: "I always feel awkward, but everyone calls you that. If I don't call you that, what should I call you?"
The third prince said, "How about we just call each other by our names, so that we can seem more familiar with each other. I'll call you Zheng Sisi or Sisi, and you call me Sheng Zhen."
Zheng Sisi murmured: "Sheng Zhen, holy monk, holy Zeng"
Zheng Sisi covered her mouth and laughed. When she read Journey to the West before, she always read half of the words and pronounced "holy monk" as "Sheng Zeng". Now she found it funny when she thought about it, the Third Prince also had this homophonic name.
The third prince was puzzled and felt that Zheng Sisi's smile was malicious, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zheng Sisi quickly stopped laughing and said seriously: "I'm not laughing, I just thought of a person's name, and the different characters have the same pronunciation as your name."
The Third Prince Sheng Zhen: "Oh, I think you have no objection to my suggestion."
Zheng Sisi said: "No problem, I'll call you by a different name from now on. I'll call you Sheng Zhen."
Sheng Zhen was satisfied, and he asked, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Zheng Sisi scratched her head: "Ah, did I say anything just now?"
Sheng Zhen reminded: "You said something happened last time."
Zheng Sisi slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I almost forgot it again. I mean, I found the pictures of the thresher and the windmill I told you about last time."
Sheng Zhen immediately sat up straight and said happily: "Really, so fast, let me see it!"
Zheng Sisi felt in her sleeve pocket and took out a few pieces of paper.
Sheng Zhen kept staring at her movements. In fact, he had always been puzzled because Zheng Sisi's sleeves were always fluttering, but she could always take something out of her sleeves. He went back and did several experiments and came to the conclusion that Zheng Sisi had some unfathomable secret.
