After Meng Xinghe wrote down those strange symbols, all the princes and princesses listening to his lecture in class looked at him in confusion, and most of them were muttering in their hearts, what was he writing? It was a bit like the ones in the palace. Sanskrit scriptures.
Knowing that these people did not know Arabic numerals, but it was necessary to teach them arithmetic and learn the ten numbers from 0 to 9, Meng Xinghe picked up the wooden ruler on the table and pointed at the numbers written on the wall. , said: "Read after me,"
Just like teaching kindergarten children to point to the ten numbers one by one and say: "1; 2; 3.,,," the people below did not dare to disobey, and they felt that those strange symbols were relatively fresh, so they all read them carefully. .
Seeing that these guys were quite cooperative, Meng Xinghe taught them a few times before explaining: "You all have memorized it. These are called Arabic numerals. They are used for counting. I don't know if you have learned it."
He asked, and then asked a simple question: "I just counted, there are a total of seventeen people in class today, the person below came up and expressed the number seventeen to me using Arabic numerals,"
Why does it feel like he is doing something mentally retarded? Meng Xinghe, who is well versed in advanced mathematics, suddenly feels that teaching these simple courses is a blow to his IQ. If it weren't for the adult men and women below who are still confused. Looking at him with eyes, Meng Xinghe might have slammed the door and left long ago due to his patience.
Damn it, teaching these princes and princesses arithmetic is more troublesome than when I solved a linear integral problem. Seeing that no one has come up to answer it, it’s okay, let’s demonstrate it myself.
No one answered, so Meng Xinghe had no choice but to ask and answer himself. He turned around and wrote the number "17" on the blackboard behind him.
"You see, it can be expressed like this to measure people or how much something is. Isn't it much simpler than you knew before?" Meng Xinghe explained patiently, and immediately taught and tested, saying: "There are Ten Birds, who will write it?"
Now more people came up to answer his questions. Meng Xinghe randomly named one of his students, and after seeing him write "10" on the blackboard, he felt that he had taught them how to recognize numbers.
Next, after these dragons learned to count with numbers, Meng Xinghe began to teach them simple addition and subtraction operations. Fortunately, the addition and subtraction operations mentioned by Meng Xinghe were relatively simple, and soon these princes and princesses learned to use Ala. At this time, Meng Xinghe saw that it was already noon. He announced that he would stop here for today and would teach again tomorrow and ended the class early.
He didn't stay at Guan Wen Palace for even half a moment, because when he came to the palace today, Meng Xinghe told Meng Xinghe that his family would be arriving in Chang'an today. Meng Xinghe, who was eager to return home long ago, certainly didn't want to waste time with these princes who were full but not hungry. As soon as the princess announced that class was over, she hurried outside.
"Meng, Master Meng," Chai Xijia, who was standing with Xiao Sizi when she saw Meng Xinghe leaving if he had something to worry about, stopped him, but couldn't find the words to talk for a while, so she stood awkwardly in front of Guanwen Hall and smiled bitterly. With.
Meng Xinghe paused and asked, "Is there something wrong, Princess Chei?"
"No, no," while Meng Xinghe wasn't paying attention, Chai Xijia pinched the little Sizi who was hiding behind her back. If she hadn't pushed her and screamed just now, how could such an embarrassing thing have happened? This little girl, I'm afraid it's spring.
"Oh, since there's nothing wrong, I'll go," Meng Xinghe left without mercy. Meng Xinghe's principle is not to offend princesses, princesses and other women as much as possible. The whole family is having a reunion today, and he is rushing home. Go and have fun.
Meng Xinghe's return was as fast as an arrow, causing the two women who witnessed his hurried departure to frown with their own concerns. In their opinion, the Meng Xinghe they knew before had actually become less cheerful since the imperial examination, and they were no longer happy when they saw the woman. He is not as frivolous as before and loves to take advantage but avoids him. I don't know why Mr. Hua Liu, who is very flirtatious in the eyes of women, suddenly changed his temper. But it cannot be otherwise. At this time, the serious Meng Xinghe is undoubtedly the most attractive to women.
After coming out of Xuanwu Gate, Meng Xinghe ran straight to Meng's Mansion. He hadn't seen his family members in more than a year. He didn't know if they had lost weight or gained weight. There was also the mother in Mengjia Village. It was such a long journey. Chang'an, is the road uncomfortable?
Thinking of these messy and disturbing things, Meng Xinghe walked faster.
He didn't take a breath, and when he ran to Meng's house, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door.
It seemed that he was still a step too late. Meng Xinghe walked into the Meng Mansion happily. From a distance, he could hear the voice of Lu Ning, the crazy woman in the Meng Mansion courtyard. Next to her stood a happy-looking Xue Shiyu and a little daughter-in-law. Xiao Mengdie, the two of them respectfully supported a beautiful middle-aged woman as if they were daughters-in-law. The woman was dressed in elegant clothes, and her eyes were full of kindness. She looked at the three daughter-in-laws who were as beautiful as flowers and jade around her. The years had eroded her. A long-lost smile finally appeared on his face, "This kid Xinghe is really a pain in the ass. I wouldn't bring such a fairy-like daughter-in-law home early for my mother to see."
The three girls blushed at the same time and whispered: "Mother," then they blushed and lowered their heads without speaking.
"Mother," Meng Xinghe called out in a deep voice, the corners of his eyes already moist.
The woman had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She suddenly turned her head and saw her son, whom she had not seen for two years. She burst into tears and cried, "Galaxy."
The other women who had traveled thousands of miles from Jiangdu also saw the man who was worried about him in his dream. They saw that he had become darker, thinner, more mature, and more stable. The tears in his eyes were like beads dripping from a broken string. The ticks fell on the bluestone under my feet, blooming into small crystal flowers. I stood quietly, swallowing silently.
Meng Xinghe tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "Mom, please don't bring your two wives to cry. I don't know who to comfort,"
Mengdie, with red eyes, naturally acted as the peacemaker, "Mom, it's a happy day for our family to be reunited. Quickly follow me into the house. Sister Ning'er and Sister Shi Yu are also the same. They have worked hard all the way and rest inside. ,"
Leading the three of them, Mengdie took them into the hall. At this time, Meng Xinghe also went to the room and changed into simple clothes.
Looking at a room full of familiar family members, but nowhere to see Aunt Yun, Meng Xinghe cast his questioning eyes on Mengdie. Mengdie told him that Aunt Yun was in the kitchen, knowing that Meng Xinghe and his family arrived in Chang'an today and were already in the kitchen. I have been busy all morning and have not rested yet, just to prepare a rich meal for them.
Meng Xinghe glared at Mengdie and made eye contact: "Why don't you go?"
Of course, Mengdie responded to him politely: "I can't,"
Meng Xinghe had a headache. He had forgotten that Mengdie was just a witch who fought and killed. Don't expect her to be able to wash and cook peacefully. Taking an opportunity, Meng Xinghe asked Mengdie to take them down to arrange the room first, while he He sneaked into the kitchen behind the backs of the wives.
Seeing the busy figure in the kitchen, Meng Xinghe came up behind her softly, regardless of whether Aunt Yun was cooking or not, he stretched out his arms and gently held her in his arms.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiruo," Meng Xinghe said carefully. His three wives were still in the east room, but he secretly ran to the kitchen to make love to each other, wondering if they were acting like beasts.
"Don't be ridiculous. Someone will see you later." Aunt Yun opened Meng Xinghe's hand, "Hurry and take these out, they are already done."
Meng Xinghe was moved for a moment, touched Aunt Yun's slender waist and jade skin, and said frivolously: "Just hold me for a while, no one will see it, and I won't be afraid even if they see it. Then you will say that I molested you, so I’m the only one in the pig cage,”
Aunt Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him, just hug him, hug him, and only in private would she allow Meng Xinghe to be so unrestrained.
But before he could continue to be gentle, footsteps could be heard outside the kitchen. Meng Xinghe reacted quickly and quickly let go of Aunt Yun. Fortunately, he didn't react too late. When the person came in, he was already pretending If nothing else, he stood aside and secretly ate the food prepared by Aunt Yun.
At this time, the three ladies who had walked in all looked at Meng Xinghe with surprised eyes. Seeing his uncivilized actions, they had expressions of hatred on their faces, and they rushed over with a grunt.
Meng Xinghe saw that something was wrong. He was afraid that his would-be wives would use this trivial matter to retaliate for the pain of lovesickness in the past year. Then he would have to suffer physical torture. The situation was not good. Meng Xinghe immediately reacted by running away and had an idea. , and ran out from the other side door of the kitchen.
"Catch him, don't let him run away," said Lu Ning, who was getting angry and put her hands on her hips. Then she saw a woman cooking in front of her. Although the woman was dressed in simple clothes, she could not conceal her own nobility. , Miss Lu didn’t know her, so she wondered if this woman was also the lover of that evil man. Thinking of this, Miss Lu burst into tears and scolded Meng Xinghe for being a carefree person, making her and Sister Shi Yu suffer in Jiangdu. But he was happy in Chang'an. After catching him, he must be treated well.
"Who are you and why are you in my husband's house?" Lu Ning said in a jealous tone. Seeing that she had another sister, she naturally had a bad temper.
Aunt Yun turned her back to them and said nothing, but her heart was extremely tormented.
"Master, let's go out first." Seeing this, Mengdie said to resolve all the embarrassments, but brought Lu Ning and Xue Shiyu out, explaining: "This is what I told you, the master who protected your husband all the way to Chang'an. You Don't get me wrong, my master is not a mortal woman and cannot be emotional."
The two girls nodded, but in their hearts they had great distrust of Meng Xinghe. Seeing that Mengdie believed so much, they didn't say anything more.
During lunch, the family was sitting at the table peacefully. Mother Meng suddenly saw that there was another woman in the house. Although she covered her face with a silk scarf and could not see her face clearly, she saw that her every move was quite dignified, and she also She secretly acquiesced in this daughter-in-law, but as a mother-in-law, she naturally knew not to disturb her son. After eating in a hurry, she went back to the house to rest despite Meng Xinghe's pleas.
Mother and son were connected, and Meng Xinghe knew what his mother was thinking. After dinner, when she was alone with her wives, Aunt Yun didn't want to get involved in Meng Xinghe's family affairs, so she went back to her room to rest alone, leaving Meng Xinghe alone. Facing his three wives.
"My husband, tell me honestly, did you find a new love in Chang'an and abandon us all?" Miss Lu Ning looked like a woman, tilted her head, pouted and sat opposite Meng Xinghe, which made Meng Xinghe think about tonight Should I relieve this little girl's anger?
Meng Xinghe just smiled, his mind full of bad thoughts, and said: "Ning'er, don't panic, how about we talk by candlelight tonight?"
"Bah," Miss Lu took a sip, and her whole body immediately felt warm.
Seeing that the girl was a little uncomfortable, Meng Xinghe became more courageous. He directly held Miss Lu in his arms and walked towards his room, letting her punch and kick her, but did not let go and said: "If you can't do it at night, let's start now. "
"Sisters, please save Ning'er," Miss Lu begged helplessly. Seeing Meng Xinghe carrying her to his room, she naturally thought of what this beast would do next. Her face turned red and her voice changed. Much smaller.
Mengdie and Xue Shiyu covered their mouths and smiled: "My husband, you must take pity on sister Ning'er. She has been saying all the way to Chang'an that she must take good care of you."
"You, all of you, are bullying me," Miss Lu whined, but to no avail. Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, closed the door, and said calmly: "You are so stupid, the two of them just said Let me train you well." As he said this, he had already thrown Miss Lu onto the bed, but he jumped on her.
