Chapter 223
Seeing how serious the two were, Xiao Du realized that Song Guanzhou was not as ignorant of mathematics as he had initially thought. Now that he was asked, he seemed to understand everything and said, "Fifth brother is good at abacus, but I don't know about my cousin's sister-in-law..."
Song Guanzhou nodded, "Me too. Without an abacus, calculating on paper is always slower."
When these words came out, not only Pei An and Xiao Cang looked at each other sideways, but even Wang Qionglan exclaimed in surprise, "Guan Zhou is really a heroine, she can also use an abacus."
Song Guanzhou nodded, "It's just that I haven't touched it for many years, so I'm afraid my hands are unfamiliar. After His Majesty's birthday, I'll find someone to practice with."
Zhang Fanghui laughed and said, "I'll give you my bronze abacus to try later."
Xiao Yinhui at the side said proudly, "My fourth sister-in-law is also very good at accounting. She is very good at calculating." As soon as the words fell, Zhang Huifang said she was not responsible.
"I just calculate some ordinary small numbers. Because I like it, my father made a copper abacus for me when I got married."
"it is good."
Song Guanzhou was just curious and did not refuse.
Xiao Cang beside her snorted, "Your abacus is small and heavy. If you really fiddle with it for a day, do you think she can still use her fingers?"
This……
Zhang Fanghui showed some embarrassment on her face. Seeing this, Song Guanzhou comforted her, "I haven't touched it for years. Please lend it to me first to try it out. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the accountant for an ordinary wooden abacus."
Pei An saw this and laughed, "Don't worry, I'll ask Jindong to get them from both places tonight. You can try your hand at it. If you like the one you can make a new one just like it."
Xiao Cang was still a little unwilling to believe it, and shouted, "Mu San, Mu San! Did you bring it here?"
Xiao Du felt something was wrong and asked quickly, "What do you want?"
"Abacus! I sent him to get it a long time ago!"
After saying that, he looked at Song Guanzhou and said, "Why don't you try it first and don't lie to me." Seeing this, Xiao Du raised his hand to send this sinful brother back to the womb, but Pei An was quick-witted and stopped him.
"You better get back to Jiangzhou!"
Xiao Du pointed at Xiao Cang who was hiding behind Wang Qionglan, and was shaking with anger. Several girls from the Xiao family and the Pei family were all frightened.
But Song Guanzhou just chuckled.
"Brother, don't talk about him. Xiao Cang, what's your plan?"
Anyway, she had to compete sooner or later, and she wanted to experience the charm of ancient finance.
Seeing this, Mu San hesitantly took out a sandalwood ivory abacus from behind his back. Song Guanzhou took it and exclaimed in amazement, "It's actually ivory white beads--"
Xiao Bei almost laughed himself into a choke, and punched Xiao Cang, "You even took out your heirloom."
Seeing this, Wang Qionglan did not take her sisters to the West Garden, but just sat in Shaohua Garden, drinking Shaohua Garden's rose tea, watching Song Guanzhou take the abacus and put it on the low table.
Pei An felt sorry for her bending over and feeling uncomfortable, so he asked Alu to move a tall table over.
"Thank you, Shiro."
Song Guanzhou picked up the abacus with one hand, moved it twice in the air, and the beads made a "cha cha" sound. He put it on the high table. Song Guanzhou passed his right ring finger over it, and the two upper layers of beads stood still against the top.
She rested her chin on one hand and looked at Xiao Cang.
"Then let's play Five Old Men Together."
Xiao Cang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
At this moment, no one doubted that Song Guanzhou could not use the abacus. Song Guanzhou squinted his eyes, looked at the seventeen-pillar abacus, and concentrated his mind.
After a moment, he stretched out his right hand and began to count with his thumb, index finger and middle finger.
Seeing this, Xiao Cang moved from behind Wang Qionglan to next to Song Guanzhou, regardless of the previous grudge between the two, just to get a clear view.
Pei Shuyu saw that Xiao Cang couldn't see her from beginning to end, and now he was next to Song Guanzhou.
She felt indescribably irritated in her heart. She looked around, but there was no sign of that person in Shaohua Garden. She suppressed her impatience and gently pulled Mei Qingyu's sleeve.
"Cousin, let's go outside."
Mei Qingyu was puzzled and asked back with her head down, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"I feel a little depressed."
Mei Qingyu looked at the dazzling man next to the Fourth Young Master's wife, feeling a little reluctant, "Why not wait until Fourth Sister-in-law finishes the fight? I think she will be well soon."
She couldn't bear to leave the untouchable person.
Due to their identities, even though their two houses were separated by a wall, it was extremely difficult for them to meet.
Mei Qingyu was heartbroken every time she thought of this late at night, but what could she do? She couldn't even let others know.
Thinking of this, she looked up again, following everyone's gaze, and looked at Song Guanzhou.
Song Guanzhou tilted his head, whispered something to Pei An, and then smiled.
Pei An also smiled implicitly, like the bright moon seen from the green hills. Mei Qingyu looked over intently, but unexpectedly Song Guanzhou turned around and their eyes met.
She immediately felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look again.
Song Guanzhou's smile remained unchanged, but his left hand pinched Pei An fiercely through his sleeve. Pei An was pinched so hard that he felt severe pain, but he didn't know why.
When he was about to ask, he saw Song Guanzhou turn his head to Xiao Cang and say, "I'm starting."
After that, she dialed 363636363636, and then dialed the divisor 5, 25, and then everyone watched Song Guanzhou dial slowly with three fingers, and even paused for a while. When she was almost halfway, Song Guanzhou slowly regained her old feeling and tried her best to speed up. She was the fastest in the class to play the lion ball, and these five old classmates were even better.
She had no expression on her face and finished typing quickly.
The whole process is estimated to take just over a minute, and an outsider just watching the fun will just feel that it goes by so fast!
Experts know the tricks, especially Pei An, who knows a little about abacus, and the three brothers of the Xiao family and Zhang Fanghui, who are familiar with abacus. "Guan Zhou plays fast."
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "That's not fast. I haven't touched it for many years." Then he moved the abacus to Xiao Cang and said, "You should think about it carefully in the next few days. When I'm done, we can discuss it again."
Xiao Cang was silent for a while, with less resentment and more disbelief.
"Why have I never heard that you can do this?"
Song Guanzhou had already stood up, but after hearing this, he leaned forward and said, "I'm not like you, who can't wait to announce to the world just because I know something. As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. This is not a great ability. It's better to keep a low profile than to show off."
Xiao Du heard this and kicked him, "Did you hear what your fourth sister-in-law said? Go back quickly. You are running around with a limp leg, which makes you look bad."
Mu Er and Mu San hurriedly crouched forward, one holding an abacus and the other supporting Xiao Cang, "Fifth Master, let's go back quickly. If it's too late, Madam will worry again."
Xiao Cang snorted.
Looking back at Song Guanzhou, "I will ask Uncle San to host and set the questions. It will be absolutely fair and just. Song Guanzhou, I underestimated you too."
