Chapter 066: It turns out you are still smart
"What if I don't like it?"
"Love between men and women is just a trivial matter, why bother yourself with it?"
Meng Xuanlang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled subtly: "Brother Jian, it turns out you are smart."
Xie Jian frowned: "I told you not to shout." Does one need to be enlightened about such things?
"Brother Jian, it's just a small matter. Why bother about it so much, Brother Jian?" Meng Xuanlang said with a happy laugh.
The carriage left the city, and the coachman shouted, "Go!" and the white horse galloped away quickly. Hearing the little boy's hearty laughter, the coachman also laughed. Their little boy has been smiling every day since he was a child. After following the little boy for so many years, he felt that he had become much younger.
Inside the city.
Chen Heng showed the fifteen bags of herbs she had brought to the doctor at the clinic. After the doctor said there was no problem, she went to the hospital in Ximen and visited several more clinics to be on the safe side.
The doctors said there was no problem, and that each packet of herbs was worth about two taels of silver, and they were all excellent herbs.
"Will the child be greatly nourished by eating such a good medicinal herb or will there be any problems?" Shen Heng did not dare to take it lightly. Eunuch Wang was a fighter from the palace, and no suspicious point could be let go.
"The medicinal properties of these medicines are all mild. Even though some of them are tonic, there are also herbs that can moderate the medicinal properties. They are extremely beneficial for children." said an old doctor.
Shen Heng finally felt relieved. It seemed that Eunuch Wang really liked Min'er.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw a man carrying a basket of herbs to sell. The clerk in the drug store took a look, weighed them, and gave him twenty silver coins.
The price of the herbs seems pretty good, Chen Heng thought, then shook her head. For the time being, she would focus on the grocery store and stop thinking about other things. She would first finish the grocery store.
I want to start a business, and I can do anything, but my mind is too active and I can't focus on one thing.
In the following few days, apart from three meals a day, Chen Heng devoted herself to the grocery store.
Xie Jian also went home every night, and sometimes went to the yamen with Meng Xuanlang for dinner.
The days passed by, seemingly peaceful and tranquil.
The weather is getting colder and the New Year is getting closer.
Chen Heng used charcoal to record the recent business in regular characters behind the door, and erased it after the day's settlement, leaving only the total amount.
The original owner had a limited understanding of numbers. When she was a child, Shen's mother taught her how to keep accounts and use an abacus, but she didn't even know how to do it. As a result, she was scolded by Shen's mother every day. In the end, she gave up on the child. Every time she went out, she only took her eldest daughter and youngest daughter with her to avoid embarrassment. The original owner's sense of existence became even lower.
But Chen Heng was a science student and had excelled in science since childhood. Thanks to Shen's mother's scolding, the original owner remembered many important things clearly in a similar way. Now when she recalled them, she could remember them at will.
She likes to use an abacus. She raises one hand and counts with the other. The sense of ritual makes counting money more exciting.
Xie Jian looked up from his book and saw Shen Heng writing on the door while calculating with an abacus. It was rare to see someone so serious. He couldn't help but walk over and frowned.
"What did you write?"
Chen Heng glanced at him. "Don't you understand?" He asked. "These are called Arabic numerals. They were counting symbols invented by ancient Indians. They were not introduced to China until the Yuan Dynasty, along with Muslims. And there was no Yuan Dynasty before the Great Cong Dynasty." "I use my own method to count. I can't learn other methods."
“There are a lot of spelling mistakes.”
This is called simplified Chinese. Chen Heng said softly, "If women could go to school, I might know more characters than you."
Seeing Ah Heng's disdainful look, Xie Jian thought for a moment and said, "I will teach Min'er Enlightenment every night. If you want to learn, you can follow me."
