Zhuang Keqing was surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about it more carefully, he realized that this person was unusual.
The head of the state academy should be confident, but it is rare for him to be able to face himself seriously and be willing to ask for advice humbly.
That being the case, what's the harm in teaching him how to solve this equation?
This was not her creation. Wouldn't it be a great thing if we could take this opportunity to promote the development of ancient mathematics and provide people with more thinking and exploration?
With this in mind, Zhuang Keqing nodded and agreed to the little scholar's request. As for the musical guidance the other party mentioned, that was not something she should worry about.
Li Shoucheng didn't expect Miss Zhuang to agree so easily. He was sent out of the door by Shen Ling, who was as serious as water, and he didn't react until he reached the entrance of the alley.
Is this, agreed?
…
In the morning, after the best time for the bean shop's business, Zhuang Keqing asked his mother to come to the shop and went to the outer street of Tianshui Lane with a basket, intending to buy some fresh vegetables before the morning market was over.
Now living in the prefecture capital is no better than in the village. The vegetable seedlings planted at home have not grown much yet, and the chickens have just been let go. I am afraid that they will not be able to lay eggs this year. I have to buy everything at home, but luckily around Tianshui Lane It’s lively. Farmers from outer cities like to sell vegetables here. Once you leave the courtyard, you only need to walk a few steps to buy the vegetables you need.
The loofah was good today. I bought two. I want to eat fresh eggs, so I will eat less. For lunch, make scrambled eggs with loofah or make loofah egg soup. Both are great. I’ll have some stir-fried cabbage and two fingers. Two wide slices of pork belly are served, which is perfect for stewing with the new cabbage at this time.
In addition to the tofu and vegetarian chicken at home, fried and braised, dinner is complete.

After buying vegetables, I passed by the sauce shop. There was no one inside. There was only one customer waiting to sell sauce. I called a few times but no one answered. When I was about to leave, Sister-in-law Zhang came out in a hurry, calling out, "Here we come, here we come." "
Zhuang Keqing thought that there wasn't much sauce at home, so he simply went in, waited for others to finish buying, and then bought a jar for himself, just in time for stewing meat at night.
Aunt Zhang saw the girl coming in and asked her to wait with a smile on her face. She took a spoon, opened the miso jar, scooped out two spoons from it, and put it into the jar that the guest brought.
Two spoonfuls will fill a can, just right.
After collecting money and sending guests off, the smile never left his face.
"Miss Zhuang is shopping for groceries."
When Mrs. Zhang was free, she thought Zhuang Keqing was just visiting the house, so she took a bag of melon seeds from the drawer of the counter, opened them and asked her to eat them.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, you're welcome. I'm here to buy some sauce."
Zhuang Keqing smiled faintly and put the basket aside, "I didn't bring a crock pot. Can Mrs. Zhang borrow one? I'll return it when I get back."
"You're not too polite, it's just a jar, just use it. I went to your house to buy tofu before, but I always gave you more."

Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at Zhuang Keqing, a little annoyed, and then smiled and said: "We are all neighbors, how can we be so alienated?"
After that, he turned back to the counter, took out a clay pot two palms wide, and poured spoonfuls of sauce into it.
Zhuang Keqing smiled and thanked him, and paid the money again, thinking that he would clean the jar and return it to others later.
"Miss Zhuang has been in the state capital for a while, but you're still used to it?"
There are few customers in the store now. After finishing the sauce, Mrs. Zhang put the earthen pot on the counter, turned around and pulled someone over, and then stuffed the handful of melon seeds into Zhuang Keqing's hand, as if she wanted to chat. qqxsnew
She had long wanted to find an opportunity to have a warm relationship with this talented lady, but something happened to her. It was not easy for someone to come to her door to buy something, but she couldn't leave her alone. They were so close that they looked familiar.
The neighbors were enthusiastic. Zhuang Keqing saw that it was still early and his mother was in charge of the shop at home, so he was not in a hurry to go back and cook, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down.
“Tianshui Lane is very lively and the neighbors are very kind.”
"Yes, everyone in Tianshui Lane is a businessman. They know how to make money by being friendly, so they are always polite."
Having said this, Sister-in-law Zhang paused and glanced at the smiling and listening girl in front of her, with a hint of embarrassment on her face. She was obviously thinking of how just a few days ago, Mrs. Tao had shamed the Jiang family in the street and Mrs. Qin had scolded her at home.

"But these small quarrels and quarrels are common, and you shouldn't take them personally."
Sister-in-law Zhang looked stern and tried to make up for it, telling Zhuang Keqing to ignore them.
"The Jiang family and Mrs. Tao's family used to have a pretty good relationship. Xiaotian is also kind-hearted. Whenever there are some buns left in the shop, they are always given to Mrs. Tao's A Hong to eat."
"But after a long time, if you are used to giving it to someone, if you don't give it to someone for a while, it will make people feel resentful."
Zhuang Keqing had heard Mrs. Xiaotian complaining to him and knew her difficulties, so she couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Xiaotian is caught in the middle, it's hard to do this."
Seeing her chatting with her, Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up and she became energetic. She immediately pulled the stool under her butt in the direction of Zhuang Keqing, lowered her voice and whispered.
"Miss Zhuang, don't think that my sister-in-law Zhang is a talkative person in private. It's just that there is some reason for the quarrel between the two families to this day."
Zhuang Keqing is actually not interested in these gossips, but Mrs. Zhang doesn't care. It's rare that anyone is willing to listen to these things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. She is looking at the store every day and is bored. Wouldn't she want to seize the opportunity and spit it out?
.
"This Xiaotian has been married to the Jiang family for seven or eight years, and has only given birth to a girl. She can feed Mrs. Tao's grandson steamed buns every day, so why doesn't she think that she can also give birth to a son soon?
"
When she mentioned this, Sister-in-law Zhang also looked down upon Mrs. Tao in her heart.
His family was not the only one with boys in this alley, but the adults of any family could tolerate their children eating other people's buns every day, and they were also very shameless. She frowned, and thought again that Mrs. Tao had
Sometimes I show off openly or secretly because I have a boy at home, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
As soon as these words were said, they did not arouse Zhuang Keqing's curiosity, but aroused his own anger.
She is just like the Oda family, except that the Oda family only gave birth to one daughter in seven or eight years, while she gave birth to two girls in the past ten years.
They all have relatively weak waists, so they don't even listen to Mrs. Tao's words that from now on, family property will be made cheaper by outsiders.
"But whether or not to have a boy is not Sister Tian's problem..."
Zhuang Keqing wanted to say that the sex of the child depends on the father and has nothing to do with the woman, but he thought it would be too troublesome to explain, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
But when Mrs. Zhang heard these words, she felt that she was speaking for herself. She immediately became more fond of this talented lady and couldn't help but start to share her bitterness with her.
"I think I can understand Mrs. Oda's feelings. After all, I'm not much better than her. We have two daughters in this family. I'm almost thirty years old. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant with another one."
Aunt Zhang looked lonely. She had a strong temper and no one dared to mess with her outside. If anyone said something strange in front of her, she would not have the same temper as Mr. Oda and would scold him on the spot.
But no matter how tough a person is in front of him, if he can't give birth to a son, he will still be criticized. Although her husband-in-law doesn't mind, sometimes when he sees other boys, he is always a little more friendly, and she sees this.

Fortunately, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were in the countryside and there was no way to make this argument. Otherwise, she would not be as angry as she was at the Jiang family. She would not be able to survive this life.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's slumped shoulders and drooped corners of her mouth, Zhuang Keqing felt pitiful and lamentable.
It is pitiful that a woman's life is not easy. Not only must she be filial to her parents-in-law and take care of the housework, but she must also give birth to a son in order to stand up straight in the world.
It is a pity but also a pity for the world. Although men have a higher status than women, they are just an inconspicuous grain of sand in the advancing historical torrent.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, I have a recipe here. I wonder if you would like to try it?"
But no matter what, if the person in front of him is in trouble, if he can help in any way, Zhuang Keqing is not stingy.
She then thought of the birth certificate that Chef Jia of Songling Town had forced on her.
"What, what recipe?"
Sister-in-law Zhang had not yet recovered from her feelings of self-pity. She only heard what Zhuang Keqing said and had no idea what she meant.
"Just take the prescription that might make you pregnant."

"What!"
Mrs. Zhang stood up in shock.
She has visited many doctors and taken many bitter medicines over the years, but since Erya, there has been no movement in her belly. Is there really a magic formula in the world that can make her, an old clam, regenerate a pearl?
!
"Zhuang, Miss Zhuang, please don't try to trick me."
Mrs. Zhang looked at the scholar who was sitting calmly in front of her. Her heart was filled with hesitation and surprise. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
