So, what is that?
There was only a piece of paper covered with words in the box.
Mother Qin frowned and held the paper up to the light. After she saw what was written on it, her eyes widened in surprise. "I've been managing the Qin Mansion for decades, and I've never seen such a calculation."
"What on earth is this? It's so exquisite?"
“So it can be calculated this way…”
Qin's mother came from a prominent family and was a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. She had been proficient in accounts since she was a child, and since she married into the Qin family, she had managed the family in an orderly manner.
See the numbers above.
She knew that this thing was definitely not simple!
Immediately, Qin's mother asked the servant to bring paper and pen, and she recalculated according to the algorithm written above. She felt that this algorithm was more and more mysterious.
"Shuyu is still hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He says there's nothing he can do, but in fact, he still cares deeply about his only brother."
"My good daughter, you are really kind."
Qin's mother could see that the handwriting was not her daughter's, but that didn't matter.
This algorithm was in the gift given to her by her daughter, or perhaps it was found by her daughter?
Qin's mother waited in the room until midnight before Qin's father came back with heavy steps. He had to go to court in two hours, so he had to get some sleep quickly.
Mother Qin quickly stood up.
He hurriedly brought the paper with the algorithm to Qin's father and said proudly, "Master! You are finally back. Come quickly and see it."
"Look, the algorithm Shuyu gave us is very ingenious, fast and accurate. You don't even need an abacus if you calculate according to what Shuyu wrote."
"The general ledger issue should be resolved."
The account book issue made Qin's father extremely tired. He was worried every day, fearing that there would be some problems with the bills and he would not be able to pay them back.
However, when he heard this, Qin's father immediately perked up.
“What algorithm?”
"show me."
Qin's father has been dealing with numbers for many years, and he discovered the ingenuity of this algorithm after just a quick glance.
His reaction was even greater than Mother Qin's. He immediately stood up from his seat and muttered in shock, "Where did this come from?"
"I've never seen this way of counting. What are these squiggly numbers? How can they be written like this? And what kind of multiplication and division formulas are there?"
“What a fantastic idea!”
When Mother Qin heard Father Qin praising this novel calculation method, a smile suddenly broke out on her usually sad face.
"This was sent by Shuyu yesterday."
Look, how come she doesn’t know how to teach her children?
Shuyu was taught so well by her that she is not only dignified and filial, but also able to solve urgent problems.
As for Zihong, he is not grown up yet. He will be fine after he gets married.
"Shuyu?" Qin's father was stunned. He couldn't believe that his daughter could come up with such a method and use such a simple word count to replace mathematics.
But when I think about my daughter's talent and diligence when she was at home.
Father Qin was soon relieved. He sighed and continued, "Shuyu is indeed a good child, and he has some talent in this method. It's just a pity..."
"It's a pity that she's a girl. She's useless. Whatever she learns can only be used within the family compound. If Zihong could be half as good as she is, I wouldn't have to worry about her."
"Well, Madam, you go to the Marquis' Mansion in person tomorrow and ask Shuyu what these twists and turns mean."
"Also, this isn't finished yet. Ask her if she has any other ideas."
Mother Qin originally wanted to take the opportunity to speak well of Qin Zihong, but when she saw Qin's father's tired face and his mind was on the algorithm, she had to change her words:
"Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning."
