Just by listening to the question, Lihua knew that the person coming was like her. She was also familiar with "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and asked questions about the classics. The two met after a few steps.
Without thinking, she immediately answered: "Two hundred and fifty steps."
The show girls immediately stopped thinking. For whatever reason, Wu Li's answer must be correct. This was the unanimous opinion they came to in the past two days.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chigong's eyes flashed, and he immediately started to ask: "Today, the geese have risen from the South China Sea, and will reach the North Sea in seven days; the geese have risen from the North Sea, and will reach the South China Sea in nine days. Today, the geese and geese have both risen. When will we meet?"
When the show girls heard it at first glance, they thought it was very simple. But when they thought about it carefully, they found it more difficult.
When encountering a problem involving fractions, Lihua calculated it instantly and did not hesitate: "Three days, sixteen points and fifteen days."
When the show girls heard the answer, they were a little bit excited. They haven't learned the score yet.
Yu Chigong asked again: "Today there is a pond filled with five canals. When one canal is opened, it will be full every half a day, then it will be full every day, then it will be half full every two days, it will be full every three days, and it will be full every fifth day.
.Now we are all determined. How many days will it take for the pond to be full?"
Lihua answered again: "Fifteenth of the seventy-fourth day."
Yu Chigong asked again: "Today, there are carriages transporting goods between the post stations. The empty carriages can travel seventy miles a day, and the heavy carriages can travel fifty miles a day. Today, they are transporting millet from Taicang to the forest and returning three times in five days. How long does it take to go to Taicang and go to the forest?
"
Lihua answered again: "Forty-eight miles and one-eighteenths of a mile."
The two of them went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, several questions were asked and answered, as if they came at their fingertips.
The show ladies were all stunned. They no longer thought about doing the calculations by themselves. They just watched the show honestly and murmured in their hearts. This handsome eunuch seemed well prepared. Did he memorize all the questions in advance?
At this moment, Lihua called out: "Wait a minute, Your Excellency has asked me so many questions, why don't you also answer them?"
Although the questions asked were very simple, Lihua knew that she had met an opponent. She did not want to be passive and kept answering, and she had to return the answer to find out the background of the person who came.
The beautiful ladies' eyes immediately lit up, "Come on, come on, is Wu Li going to torture someone? It's a pity that such a handsome eunuch will be driven crazy."
There was a smile in Yuchi Gong's eyes, and he agreed with a smile, knowing that the little thief was about to make a move.
The smile was like stars, making the bright moon eclipse. Lihua's peach-blossom eyes widened slightly as she looked at her. She quickly recited the Heart-Calming Mantra in her heart to regain her composure. Looking directly at her at such a close distance, it was really hard to resist such a lustful man.
The showgirl sitting closest to the front row was also shocked and lost her mind. When she came back to her senses, she was blushing. The other showgirls couldn't help but stare.
Lihua caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and thought that the people in this palace were not simple. Even the father-in-law was able to use beauty traps. A casual smile could be so lethal. It was really Amitabha.
She calmed her mind, her pear knot deep, and she counterattacked: "Today there is a tree that is two feet long and surrounded by three feet. The kudzu grows below it and wraps around the tree for seven weeks. The top is even with the wood. How long is the kudzu?"
There is a tree that is two feet high and three feet in circumference. There is a tree surrounded by Ge Teng seven times. How long is the vine? This question is slightly different from ordinary Pythagorean. It requires a little brainstorming to convert it into the Pythagorean algorithm.
The beautiful girls below were first fascinated by Yuchi Gong. After hearing Lihua's question, they all came back to their senses and scratched their heads. They understood what they heard, but they had no clue and no way to start.
They all looked at Yuchi Gong, thinking that this handsome eunuch might not be able to do anything.
Yuchi Gong raised his eyebrows slightly. It was in vain that he was so nice to the little thief and did not undermine her husband's prestige in front of everyone. He asked questions that a child of several years old could answer, but she wanted to stump him.
In this case, the little thief is waiting to take action.
"Two feet nine feet." Yuchi Gong only made a rough estimate before answering, looking at Lihua with a smile: "Sir, please listen carefully, the next question will not be that simple."
Lihua was really surprised. The questions she asked needed to be vindicated and then solved before she could get the answer. Even in modern times, even if you know how to calculate, you still have to press the calculator for a while to get the answer.
And this person actually answered on the spot, in this ancient context where mathematics was not popular, he was really a monster.
Lihua became serious and gestured: "Please!"
The ladies below didn't expect that Yuchi Gong could answer so quickly. Wu Li didn't say it was wrong, so the answer must be correct, right?
Everyone was surprised. This was the first person to answer Wu Li's question. It was so easy. Could it be that the question just now was very simple? It's just that they didn't know how to do it?
After these days of getting along, the show girls unknowingly developed a blind confidence in Lihua. Their first reaction was that the question was simple, not that Yu Chigong was capable.
But the next scene completely changed everyone's outlook.
The two people in front of the palace seemed to be joking before, and then it was a serious contest.
Between the two of us, you ask a question and I ask a question. You come and go, I ask and you answer. Even if there is an occasional pause, the answer can be found in just one breath.
They made a group of beautiful girls look stupid. They could understand some of the previous questions, but they couldn't even understand the following questions, such as "according to the ratio of density", "multiplying the denominator by the power of four", etc.
Wait, I can't understand it at all, it's like a book from heaven.
Lihua and Yuchi Gong tested each other's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from beginning to end. As soon as they came up with the questions, they knew they couldn't stump each other, so they continued to ask more difficult questions.
The expression on Lihua’s face remained unchanged, and she still wore her signature smile.
But the more she tested the other party, the more shocked she became. This test not only tested the other party's thinking ability and reaction ability, but also the other party's mental arithmetic ability. However, none of the questions she asked stumped the other party. This has never been tried in modern times.
situation.
This is a rare feeling of meeting an opponent.
Even her rare competitive spirit was aroused, and she wanted to knock off the smile on the corner of the mouth of the monster in front of her. It looked annoying, as if she could see through her, this monster!
Yuchi Gong also didn't expect that the little thief had such profound attainments and could answer all the questions. Even the ministers of the court and the new champion might not have the same reaction ability as her.
Seeing Lihua's smiling face, clear words and calm demeanor, Yuchi Gong thought to himself that the little thief is indeed a little thief, and he is very good at pretending. He is clearly gnashing his teeth in his heart, but he still pretends to be so calm on his face, maybe he is thinking of something to do.
Down him.
The more Yuchi Gong took the exam, the more interested he became, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became deeper. He looked at the pear blossom eyes, and felt that this monster was too annoying. Why should he laugh? She didn't fail him, and he couldn't fail her either.
Okay, what’s so funny!
Halfway through, Lihua suggested: "Sir, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is too simple. Why don't you ask for some other advice?"
"It's indeed too simple." Yuchi Gong nodded in agreement and happily agreed to Lihua's request: "As you said."
The show girls below no longer know how to react. "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is easy? Then why can't they?
But looking at the fight between the two, it seems that this is indeed the case, as if it is a matter of course, it is not a big deal, it would be wrong if they don't know, and they...
Young Masters: How are you, my dear?
It took a while before a response came.
The dog author sat up in shock when he was dying: cough cough cough...I'm still, okay, I'm fine, thank you so much, little master...cough cough cough...can you cast a vote...

I felt a little better in the afternoon. I got up and coded a chapter and posted it. Then I fell down again. Sorry, I really can’t do two updates.
Young masters, please take care of yourself, I remind you again and again!!!
