0027 Arabic numerals

Chen Jingke could guess why she was nervous, so he comforted her: "Don't be nervous and relax. It is checking your body. If you are too nervous, the examination will not be allowed."

It was okay if he didn't say it, but Li Lizhi became even more nervous when he said it.

Chen Jingke was a little helpless, knowing that this was not the solution, so he had to find a way to divert her attention. Seeing the numbers that kept ticking on the screen of the bracelet, he suddenly had an idea.

"Let me tell you what these words mean."

Changsun Wugou also guessed his plan, and she was also very curious about what it meant, so she quickly agreed: "Okay, I will grind the ink for you."

As she said that, she took the Four Treasures of the Study, poured some water, picked up the ink stick in the inkstone, and gently rotated and polished it.

There was a sharp contrast between the jade-white hands and the black ink sticks. There seemed to be a strange melody in the rotation, which made Chen Jingke couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Changsun Yanmo has another source of bragging rights, he couldn't help but think.

After he finished grinding the ink, he took up a pen and wrote ten numbers from 0 to 9 on the paper, and then wrote the numbers of the Chinese characters below in one-to-one correspondence: "This is the number symbol from zero to nine... 1 and 0 are placed next to each other."

Together we are 10…”

He explained the use of Arabic numerals in detail - of course, there are no Arabic numerals in this world yet, but now they are part of the Chinese language.

Changsun Wugou suddenly realized: "So that's it, these new fonts are really magical and very convenient to use. Did you create this?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "No, I learned it from others."

Changsun Wuguo nodded and said, "Write out 140 in order, does it mean one hundred and forty?"

"Yes, your Majesty is smart and can learn quickly." Chen Jingke always felt that something was wrong and said absently.

Originally, he was worried that Changsun Wujia would ask him who he learned it from, but he didn't expect that she didn't ask at all, which made him feel awkward.

Shouldn't normal people ask this question? Are the concerns of ancient people different from those of today, or is it that the brain circuits of big bosses like her are different from normal people?

But no matter what he said, Changsun Wugou didn't ask any questions, which made him feel more relaxed. Then came further teaching, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The more I understand Changsun Wujia, the more surprised I am. These ten numbers are so convenient. The person who invented this thing is a genius.

Li Lizhi's attention was also successfully diverted, and her mood gradually relaxed.

Soon there was a beeping sound from the bracelet, and everyone stopped. Li Lizhi looked at him at a loss.

Chen Jingke said: "It's okay, the check is done." When he saw the red numbers displayed on the bracelet, he couldn't help but sigh.

Changsun Wugou asked with some anxiety: "Jing Ke, how is your sister?"

Chen Jingke took off his bracelet and said, "High blood pressure."

Changsun Wuguo asked: "What is high blood pressure?" Li Lizhi and Sun Simiao also looked at him. This is another new disease.

Chen Jingke considered it carefully and said: "High blood pressure is generally called wind disease or wind vertigo, but this term is inaccurate."

Sun Simiao already showed a clear expression. He knew about this disease, but he didn't understand it deeply.

The existence of high blood pressure has been discovered in ancient times, but due to insufficient medical treatment, neither the principle nor the cause of the disease was known. All we could do was speculate based on symptoms and then take medication.

Whether it is effective or not depends on luck. It is said that bloodletting was even developed during Li Zhi's time. This shows how superficial people's understanding of high blood pressure was at this time.

It was normal for Sun Simiao not to be able to diagnose the disease if he didn't know much about it. Chen Jingke was able to diagnose it not because of his high medical skills, but because he already knew about the disease, and it was easier to get the desired result based on the pulse.

He then used the metaphor of a river to explain to the three of them what high blood pressure was and emphasized the consequences.

"Cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, cerebral infarction..." Every word made the mother and daughter look pale.

By the time he finished speaking, Changsun Wugu was already in tears. He hugged Li Lizhi and cried bitterly: "My poor child, why does God treat you like this?"

Everyone waiting outside could no longer bear it and rushed in together. Li Shimin said anxiously: "What's wrong with Li Zhi? Didn't we agree on asthma? Real person, what disease does Li Zhi have?"

Sun Simiao couldn't answer, so he could only look at Chen Jingke.

Chen Jingke stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please be patient, and aunt, don't cry in a hurry. Although high blood pressure is dangerous, it can be controlled. As long as it is controlled well, it will not be life-threatening."

Changsun Wugou wiped his tears and said, "I made you laugh. Jing Ke, tell me slowly how to treat your sister."

"Wait a minute, who first told me what high blood pressure is? Isn't it asthma?" Li Shimin asked.

Chen Jingke told everyone about high blood pressure again: "So the lady not only has asthma, she also has high blood pressure."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened, and Li Shimin even shook his body, covering his forehead with his hand, showing a look of pain.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Everyone quickly helped him sit down.

Chen Jingke's expression on the side had turned solemn. Sure enough, he had guessed correctly. He had high blood pressure in his ancestors.

After a while, Li Shimin said: "I'm fine. I'm just a little anxious and dizzy. It's an old problem. I just need to rest for a while."

Before everyone could let go, they heard Chen Jingke say: "I'm afraid things are not as easy as your Majesty said."

Everyone was puzzled. Changsun Wugou seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed his arm and said, "You mean...impossible, impossible."

Instead, Li Shimin calmed down and said, "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, Jing Ke, just tell me. Is there anything wrong with my health?"

Chen Jingke sighed and said: "Hypertension is a hereditary disease. It is passed from father to son, and from son to grandson. All descendants will suffer from this disease."

"Boom." However, Changsun Wugao took a few steps back and knocked down the stool. If it weren't for Chen Jingke's quick reaction, she would have fallen. Li Shimin also had a gloomy look on his face, with a look of pain on his face, as if he had another headache.

.

The other juniors were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Young master, don't talk nonsense, your majesty is the real dragon emperor, how can you..."

"Auxiliary machine." He was interrupted by Li Shimin before he finished speaking: "Don't scare Jing Ke. It's a taboo to hide a disease and avoid medical treatment."

"Here." Changsun Wuji apologized to Chen Jingke: "I made a mistake just now in a hurry, I hope you can forgive me."

Chen Jingke said: "As for Mr. Changsun, you also care about His Majesty and the princess. It is only human nature."

At this time, Li Shimin stared at him and said seriously: "Xiao Zhenzhen said that high blood pressure is a hereditary... genetic disease. Is there any evidence?"

Chen Jingke had already guessed that he would ask this question, so he took out his bracelet again and said, "You can tell if it's true or false by testing it."
