Chapter 133: Is the Meng Family Ready to Board Prince Yong's Ship?
This question really attracted Meng Tianshu's attention. He immediately shut up and lowered his eyes to think.
The carriage fell silent, and Ji Yunshu flipped through the book in his hand again.
A smile appeared in Zhao Shen's eyes.
After more than an hour, Meng Tianshu asked Ji Yunshu with dizzy eyes: "How many people?"
Ji Yunshu was reading a storybook with great interest. When he heard his words, he looked up blankly: "How many people?"
Seeing that she had long forgotten the question he had just asked, Meng Tianshu had no choice but to repeat: "How many out of a hundred people could be born on the same day?"
He pondered for an hour but couldn't come up with an answer.
This was the first time in his life that he was stumped.
"How should I know?"
Ji Yunshu rubbed his neck, which was a little sore, and said, "I heard that Master Meng is very talented, and I thought you knew it."
Meng Tianshu looked at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I don't know either."
Meng Tianshu was anxious to know the answer, so he said to Ji Yunshu directly, "Don't try to fool me. You definitely know the answer."
Ji Yunshu felt somewhat helpless. She had originally raised this question in the hope of getting Meng Tianshu to calm down, but who knew that this man wouldn't even think for himself.
"Mr. Meng, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment when you come up with the answer?"
Meng Tianshu said confidently, "It's important for people to know themselves. For me, if I have no clue about something for more than an hour, it means that thinking about it further is a waste of time."
Seeing that he was determined not to give up until he got to the bottom of things, Ji Yunshu realized that there were some things he hadn't explained yet, so he simply closed the book in his hand and asked, "What good would it be if I told you?"
Meng Tianshu said, "You two came to me for the crossbow diagram, right? I can help you make it."
In fact, he had thought this matter through from the beginning. The people in Prince Yong's Mansion had their eyes on the map, and they might use the Meng family to force him one day. It would be better to hand it over to Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu now.
Looking at the methods this couple used in Suzhou, he felt that the chances of Prince Yong succeeding were slim.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Mr. Meng, that's not very kind of you. Didn't you say before that if we could get you out of Suzhou, you would help us? We actually got you out from under the nose of the Second Young Master of Prince Yong's Mansion. You know how much risk we took, right?"
Seeing her look of "you took advantage of us", Meng Tianshu couldn't help but think that women really talk.
"Don't you know what you did in Suzhou? Even if I weren't here, Prince Yong's Mansion wouldn't let you go like this."
Ji Yunshu said, "But we did help you. If you don't hand over the map to Xiao Xun, he won't let you leave alive. Hand it over. Is the Meng family ready to board Prince Yong's ship?"
Meng Tianshu's pupils shrank suddenly. Before he could say anything, his heart started beating wildly because of Ji Yunshu's next words.
"Do you know what Prince Yong wants that picture for?"
There was silence in the carriage, and Meng Tianshu could clearly hear his own breathing.
After a long while, he heard Ji Yunshu say calmly, "We not only helped you, but also helped the entire Meng family."
To repay such a great favor, Meng Tianshu would have to work like a slave for the rest of his life.
Meng Tianshu was a young genius, and the Meng family was the most prominent family in Ruyang. As the youngest son of the second wife, he did not have to inherit the family business, so his family did not control him too strictly.
So he has always been of a willful nature.
This is the first time in my life that I have been treated like this.
But he had to admit that he really needed the other person more now.
Moreover, this couple is the emperor's people. Zhao Shen can solve his difficult problems in the shortest time, and Ji Yunshu can easily answer the questions that stump him.
He thought it would be interesting to hang out with these two people.
After thinking this through, he said with a smile on his face, "Of course I accept this favor. From now on, I'll do whatever Madam asks me to do. That's all right, isn't it?"
Zhao Shen didn't say anything even at this point. Meng Tianshu felt that this man was probably henpecked and could not be relied upon.
"Of course, I believe the young master of the Meng family will not go back on his word."
Ji Yunshu also laughed. It was indeed easier to talk to smart people.
After agreeing on the terms, Meng Tianshu couldn't wait to ask, "Well, how many people are there?"
Ji Yunshu: "...Maybe, probably, at least two."
Meng Tianshu: "...Are you just guessing?"
Ji Yunshu held his chin and said, "You can't say that. This is a question of probability, you know?"
"Probability?"
Ji Yunshu thought that the concept of probability might not exist in this era, but Meng Tianshu was obviously very interested in it, and he would work for himself in the future, so naturally he wanted to know as much as possible.
So he explained: "It's like flipping a coin. The probability of getting heads or tails is half."
Meng Tianshu, a man who specializes in this, immediately understood what she meant. "You mean you can estimate how many people out of 100 were born on the same day, just like flipping a coin?"
Ji Yunshu nodded and briefly explained the birthday paradox to him.
She saw this by accident, and she wasn't really sure how to calculate it.
But with Meng Tianshu's intelligence, he didn't need her to explain it too clearly. After he understood the general principle, he thought about it on his own.
Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Shen poured her a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Madam, do you seem to enjoy studying these things?"
When he first got married, he discovered that his wife was extremely fast at calculating accounts and never used an abacus.
Ji Yunshu quickly shook his head: "No, I don't like it at all."
She doesn't like anything that requires thinking.
Zhao Shen was amused by her behavior: "If you don't like it, then don't like it."
Ji Yunshu looked at him and said, "You haven't figured this out already, have you?"
Zhao Shen said nonchalantly, "That's about right."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
It turns out that we cannot underestimate the brains of the ancients.
She was a little confused as to why Zhao Heng, who was obviously lacking in brains, was the male lead?
Zhao Shen is clearly a perfect genius.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Shen couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
He discovered that Ji Yunshu really liked to be in a trance, and most of the time, he had no idea what she was thinking?
Whenever this happened, he would feel that she was actually very far away from him.
The growth experience of the girl from the Ji family was actually very simple. She lived in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion when she was a child. After her mother died, she was taken into the palace by the empress dowager.
Apart from being particularly pampered, she is no different from other noble ladies in the capital.
But the person in front of him was obviously different from any other noble lady.
What she knew and considered far exceeded those noble ladies.
In the past, Zhao Shen didn’t want to delve into the strangeness of her, but these days, he couldn’t help but wonder, who is she?
Ji Yunshu didn't know that she had revealed her true identity in front of Zhao Shen, but of course she didn't try to hide it.
It is almost impossible for someone like Zhao Shen to remain silent in front of him.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to waste his energy.
No matter how bad her and Zhao Shen are, they can still be considered allies, and Zhao Shen is not here to expose her out of boredom.
Besides, she has the body and memories of the original owner, so who can say that she is not Ji Yunshu?
