Chapter 345 - 197: Handover to the Authorities! A Gift from the Great Tang Prison! (Seeking Monthly Subscription)_6
"Good evening, third brother."
"Hello."
Yuchi walked over, and the maid wisely stepped away.
"Oh my! Uncle! You’re here!"
As soon as little Ximo saw her uncle approaching, she transformed into a sloth, clinging directly to Yuchi’s neck, swinging back and forth, giggling like a newly hatched chick.
"Haha, studying arithmetic, are you?"
Yuchi cheerfully hugged little Ximo, then sat on the stone bench, grabbing a book to take a look.
Similar to ancient China’s ’Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art’ from her previous life.
It mainly consists of nine major Chapters, not just simple one, two, three, four, five, six, seven; the detailed content is quite complex and considerable in depth.
From a previous life perspective, the book begins with calculation methods for the area of plane geometric figures, progresses to rationing problems, then methods for square roots and cube roots, and finally various systems of equations and the Pythagorean theorem.
Yuchi had studied it before, so he recognized it at a glance.
Little Ximo hadn’t learned it, and the terms were quite unfamiliar to her, leaving her bewildered.
"Quite impressive, the mathematical level in this era is decent," Yuchi praised.
"The teacher wants me to memorize it all, but it’s so hard!" Little Ximo stuck out her tongue, looking as though she didn’t want to read the contents of the book at all.
"Haha, shall uncle test you then?" Yuchi laughed.
"Okay!"
"What’s one plus one?" Yuchi asked.
"Two!" Little Ximo, sitting in Yuchi’s lap, brought two fingers together.
Oh dear, counting on her fingers, indeed. Yuchi went straight for the kill calmly: "What’s five plus six?"
Equals...
Little Ximo started counting, knowing a hand has five fingers. She counted sequentially, but it wasn’t enough. When Yuchi covertly extended one finger, she finally got it.
"Equals eleven!"
Yuchi: "So clever! Now, for the next question, answer quickly: What’s six plus six?"
Without hesitation, little Ximo crisply replied, "Eight!"
Yuchi: "?"
Little Ximo: "Uncle, quick, right?"
Well then, Yuchi, regardless of right or wrong, just asking for speed? Yuchi chuckled wryly: "Quick, quick, quick..."
"Quick enough to fly!"
...
Two days later.
Yuchi was handling a small matter at the business guild.
If anything, this small matter really had little to do with the guild itself, but rather with another town.
A while ago, Ning Fengshan from Shouning Town came to find Yuchi; Shouning Town specializes in coffin-making. When the guild was newly established, they directly monopolized all transportation routes of the Twelve Linked Huts, preventing the coffins from being moved. Thus, three people from Shouning Town came to Xufu Town to ask Yuchi for help.
Yuchi obviously agreed, and later the Twelve Linked Huts proved they didn’t interfere with the guild’s normal business.
This time, two people came from Shouning Town, one of them naturally Ning Fengshan, and the other a young girl from the Ning family named Ning Su. They specifically came to the guild for Yuchi because Shouning Town has been troubled by bandits lately. These hateful bandits have made life unbearable for Shouning Town.
Shouning Town, after all, is just a small town and can’t compare to Clothing Town’s Xufu Town. The town’s government is really backward, with winter fast approaching, and the final few batches of coffins haven’t been sent out yet. Ning Fengshan was anxious, pleading for the guild’s assistance.
Almost at the point of gifting Yuchi a coffin...
Yuchi naturally agreed.
Such small matters can be helped, so he casually mentioned it to the County Magistrate of Xufu Town. Upon hearing this, the magistrate immediately assembled a team to prepare for clearing out the bandits. Xun Xian, still angry from those two people a few days ago, offered to accompany the two from Shouning Town back.
Yuchi agreed, thinking that without venting her temper on a few bandits, the Wei Family’s meat might suffer. With Xun Xian going, the bandits certainly wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Thank the President." Ning Fengshan immediately urged the somewhat frightened young Ning Su beside him.
"Ning Su thanks the President." Ning Su said timidly.
"President, the little girl hasn’t seen much of the world, please don’t mind," Ning Fengshan said awkwardly.
"Haha, of course, I don’t mind," Yuchi laughed, looking at Ning Fengshan. "Just a small favor..."
With that.
Just as Yuchi was about to speak a few words to Ning Su, he noticed someone from the local government looking at him with a hint of request, indicating someone inside needed him.
"Miss Xun, the matter of Shouning Town is left to you."
"I have other affairs."
"You all go and come back early."
Xun Xian gripped the sword at her waist: "Don’t worry, none of them will escape!"
Such murderous intent.
Yuchi smiled, taking a last look at Ning Fengshan and Ning Su before heading out.
...
Exiting.
"Why didn’t you speak properly just now? I told you to recite it, why didn’t you? You should’ve recited a poem for the President just now."
"I was scared..."
"Scared of what? You fear the bandits harming us. President Yuchi is helping you, are you still afraid? He’s a benefactor and previously helped us once before, unfazed by returns!"
