Chapter 12 Always money(1/2)
Li Guanyi stopped and gave way to the carriage.
When the carriage stopped, a maid wearing a duck-green coat jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out her hand to help a woman down. It looked like she was not short, and she was wearing a green skirt and pink shoes.
She was wearing white stockings and her hair was like clouds. Only her back could be seen, and she was helped in.
The driver of the carriage whipped his whip, and the carriage came to a stop against the walls on both sides.
Li Guanyi didn't pay attention to this little episode.
He just handed the letter to the person in the private school and was led in here. The private school occupies a huge area. The person asked Li Guanyi to walk around outside and wait a moment while he went to give the letter to the Liu family's master.
, Li Guan nodded, and waited here, scanning the place with his eyes.
The Liu Family Private School.
Although I knew it was very big, the feeling from the outside is completely different from the inside. Bamboo and orchid are everywhere, and the buildings are hidden inside. The people coming and going are as young as seven or eight years old and as old as in their early twenties, all wearing silk clothes.
, wearing jade, a sword, a sachet, gorgeous clothes, holding a book in one hand, walking among them.
Li Guanyi was wearing gray-brown clothes, which were washed a little white. He stood here with calm eyes.
But I'm thinking about it.
Sure enough, the Liu family private school is already huge. If it can be here, it should be more helpful for the future clearance of documents. Besides, it is not easy for retail investors to find jobs, let alone the kind of people who have the ability to let retail investors.
A place to become the main customer? Since there is a letter from the old shopkeeper, you might as well give it a try.
While I was thinking about it, I slowly walked around the private school.
Just when I was bored, I saw a group of teenagers arguing over something.
If you listen carefully, you can see that they are arguing about the solution to a math problem.
Li Guanyi thought thoughtfully, if he wanted to stay here, it would be best to show some of his abilities.
He walked over, watched for a while, and suddenly said:
"You got it wrong."
Those students were thinking sadly about this problem that had troubled them for a month. When they heard this, they were shocked. They turned around and saw a young man in simple clothes. They were puzzled by this math problem.
After a month, my brain was as twisted as starched clothes. At this moment, I couldn’t help but say angrily:
"Tell me, why did I make the wrong calculation?"
"If you can, do it yourself."
Someone slightly older asked:
"My little brother said that I was wrong in waiting. I don't know how wrong?"
"This is a secret topic that the teacher gave us a month ago. We thought hard and couldn't figure it out. The topic is [arrange the nine numbers from one to nine into three columns, regardless of the vertical, horizontal and oblique angles, and each three characters are in phase with each other.
Kadu is fifteen, how to arrange it?"
"Brother, do you have any solution?"
Li Guanyi looked at the Nine Palaces diagram on the table.
Different from the previous life, [numerology] in this era is one of the six arts of the gentleman, and it is not easy to practice.
This Nine Palaces Chart was not a difficult task in the previous life, but in this world, without the secret knowledge, it is really painful and time-consuming. There are nine numbers in total, and each number has nine choices. There are so many permutations and combinations that it is enough to make people scalp.
numb.
He raised his pen, and a group of handsomely dressed young people surrounded him. As soon as Li Guan started writing, he whispered: "The meaning of the nine palaces is based on the turtle, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right.
Nine shoes and one, five in the center."
In the blink of an eye, the mystery that had trapped these young students for a month was solved.
The expressions of the students around him changed wonderfully, and they were silent for a moment.
In the attic, the young lady who had previously lowered her eyes to look down at her younger brother saw this scene and the dull expressions on the faces of those arrogant students. She thought deeply and said something to the maid next to her, urging her to go down.
The maid responded with a smile, turned around and came downstairs.
It happened that the disciple who had reported earlier had already come out. Li Guan put down his pen and went to a tea room with the disciple. Inside and outside a screen partition, a man in his early forties was sitting there, holding a letter in his hand, asking for something.
As soon as Li Guan sat down, he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and said:
"I already know your purpose of coming."
"Since it was Brother Zhao's recommendation, I should keep you."
"It's just that there are too many people here. Unfortunately, the position recommended by shopkeeper Zhao is no longer available. There are only some small workers. Brother, please try to work here for two months, sweeping every day. The money will be less in the first two months. Don't blame me.
."
Trial period?
Li Guanyi asked: "How much?"
The Confucian scholar stroked his beard and stretched out five fingers. Li Guan asked: "Guan Wu?"
It's pretty much the same as the original.
The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "No, it's Wu Mo."
Originally, one mo was worth one hundred wen, but in actual transactions, out of the desire to take advantage, people often used "short mo" instead of "zumo". The imperial court also recognized this, and only included in the legal provisions "stealing".
Those who have five thousand feet of strangers will be punished. What this Confucian scholar said is clearly just short journeys.
For example, Zumo and Zujin all have this meaning.
Seventy-five cents a month, three hundred and seventy-five cents a month, not even the minimum living standard of twenty cents a day. Li Guanyi heard the smell. This was to make him retreat in the face of difficulties and not want to give up the old man.
The shopkeeper was polite and unwilling to accept anyone, so the Confucian scholar served the tea and said with a gentle smile:
"However, I suggest you stay."
"After working here, you can listen to the students discuss their studies and learn to read and write. This is also a good thing, but it is different from other places."
Li Guanyi took a sip of tea.
Well, let’s start with PUA first, and then start drawing the pie.
Five mos per month is definitely not enough. In disaster years, the court gives more than this amount of subsistence allowance, and most people will be forced to leave. In this case, this Confucian scholar will not only disgrace the shopkeeper, but also be able to say that he is the boss.
Li Guanyi was strongly invited to stay, but it was Li Guanyi who refused anyway, so Li Guanyi took the blame.
What a good Confucian scholar!
Read the book thoroughly.
Li Guanyi stood up and said, "No need."
A real man has hands and feet, medical skills, and martial arts skills, so he doesn't need to be humiliated.
There was a look of regret on the Confucian scholar's face, but there was a faint smile in his eyes. He stood up and saw each other off, leading the way, and opened the door for Li Guanyi. His attitude was gentle and regretful, but there was a clear laughter: "Liu Zhuang
Master, you don’t know much about daily necessities."
"Five steps a month is still a short trip. Our day laborer can only make more than this if he works for a few days."
Outside was the maid, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a little baby fat, bright black eyes, and a cute but teasing smile. Master Liuzhuang answered the words naturally, not caring about the weirdness inside, and just smiled gently:
"Scholars are poor, and gentlemen live far away from the kitchen. That's what Miss Qing'er said."
"But I really don't know how to make money."
"I don't know, Miss Xue is here today, is she going to play the piano? Oh, I wonder if Xiaoke has a chance to listen to it..."
The maid Qing'er rolled her eyes and ignored the scholar whose attitude changed drastically.
But when he saw this young man from a poor family and his handsome appearance, he put on a smile on his face and said: "My young lady saw what you just did. I guess you have good skills. If you don't want to do it,
Work here, my lady has a good job, how about it?"
Li Guanyi thought for a moment and then agreed. The Qing'er girl smiled, took Li Guan's arm and walked forward, ignoring the Liuzhuang Master, and went to a courtyard. There was faint music behind the screen.
Seeing the figure, Li Guan sat down and Qing'er explained the reason.
I plan to find a study companion for my younger brother.
You have to try it first.
Qing'er went behind the screen and brought over a piece of white paper with some simple math questions written on it.
Li Guan glanced at them and saw that they were all simple questions and answered them quickly.
Martial arts and culture are incomparable.
For example, Li Guanyi was a novice who had been beaten by his aunt for ten years because of his playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Counting techniques are different.
In previous lives, children had to learn mathematics. Three years of numeracy in kindergarten, nine years of compulsory education, and three years of high school were all obtained through at least 15 years of systematic numeracy education. Among the students of arithmetic in this era, they are monsters.
Get out of the cage.
Qing'er quickly took it back, and the eldest lady snorted and said, "Is it done so quickly?" Qing'er said, "Yes, he did it very quickly."
The girl took one look and said, "They are all right."
