Daily life after crossing

Chapter 32 The Past

"How is it, is there any problem?"

Lu Shi'an was a little amused when he saw Cheng Yu's frowning face.

"Brother, there are too many ledgers. I'm afraid I won't be able to read them all."

Lu Shi'an was shocked when he saw so many ledgers from different stores. I feel that Cheng Yu's father Cheng is still very rich!

"It's okay, don't worry, take your time." Whether it was simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division or abacus, he taught Cheng Yu, and these ledgers were probably not difficult for Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu looked at him eagerly, he really couldn't resist the offensive of Cheng Yu's eyes, so he stepped forward to help sort it out.

It didn't take long for Lu Shi'an's head to start hurting.

"...It's a bit too much."

Lu Shian patted his head, why is he so stupid, wouldn't it be better to organize it in a table?

So I found a wooden ruler and started to draw the table, and then sorted it out one by one.

Cheng Yu learned to draw the same table after seeing it, and filled in the numbers. Because his mathematics was taught by Lu Shi'an, he filled in all Arabic numerals.

It's a lot faster than that, but no one can understand it except the three brothers.

Cheng Changying came in. He was about to ask if he wanted to eat some fruit, but he was stunned when he saw the form on the table, "What is this?" Lu Shi'an said, "It's a

form for bookkeeping."

A smart person, Lu Shian only said the meaning of each number, and he understood the meaning of these numbers.

Seeing that he was very interested, Lu Shi'an briefly explained to him how these numbers were counted.

Cheng Changying felt as if he had obtained a treasure, "This is so convenient, I am afraid that not many people in Dayin know this kind of counting method! Shi An, where did you know this?"

"When dealing with a barbarian, he taught him My Arabic numerals." Teaching math to my two younger brothers was done after dealing with the Hu people, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.

"I didn't expect the Hu people to have such good things."

Most of the Han people in this era looked down on the Hu people. They always felt that they were sloppy and uncivilized, and they were only brute force. Therefore, Cheng Changying was surprised to learn that this kind of thing that only a wise man could come up with came from the Hu people.

Lu Shi'an didn't want to correct Uncle Cheng's prejudice against the Hu people, but he still said: "Actually, many Hu people are good at learning. Most of them live in harsh environments, but they can live more arbitrarily than anyone else. They don't have any great wisdom. Impossible." At least most of the Hu Shang who dealt with him are very interesting people, they have both businessman's intelligence and warm and tolerant mind, in short, it is very comfortable to get along with them, provided that you are also sincere enough.

Cheng Changying nodded thoughtfully.

Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, Lu Shi'an and the others today..."

If Lu Shi'an was present at this time, he might be shocked and angry now.

Because at this moment, a man in plain clothes was reporting to the emperor Lu Shi'an's movements in the past few days, and he said everything in detail.

When the man said the Arabic numerals, it was obviously very difficult, and the emperor couldn't hear it clearly, but he still realized the benefits of these new things.

In the future, the Ministry of Accounts will use this method to settle accounts, which not only saves time, but also allows non-professionals to check accounts. As long as the table is in place, the accounts will be clear at a glance, and at least on the surface, there will be no errors in the accounts.

"I didn't expect Lu Shi'an to have this ability, and it's true that people are staring at him." The

emperor was in a good mood, so he waited for Lu Shi'an to come back and let the city lord of Anyang talk to him. It's a big deal, after he said it, he would just make some compensation.

At this time, there was no such thing as privacy. The emperor did not let anyone follow Lu Shi'an at night. He was already a good emperor with good morals.

This kind of stalking is actually protection. If he catches a personal trafficker outside, he will be involved in a side branch of an aristocratic family. It has to be said that he is really at odds with the aristocratic family.

Fortunately, the Tian family didn't care about these scumbags, otherwise Lu Shi'an would have to fight again.

But it is inevitable to be dangerous outside. Although the emperor was dissatisfied with Lu Shi'an not participating in the imperial examination and did not want to be an official, he still hoped that Lu Shi'an would be safe.

"Your Majesty, it is said that these Arabic numerals were learned from the Hu people..." So you don't need to take this Lu Shi'an so seriously.

The emperor shook his head: "Keep watching and protect Lu Shi'an."

These strange things could only be made by Lu Shi'an. Except for him, no one has the ability to make things that have never appeared before.

The emperor hated that iron could not become steel. This Lu Shian was probably lazy, otherwise why would he not want to be an official?

It must be said that the emperor knew the truth.

It's almost New Year's Eve, and it's snowing a little more at this time.

"Brother, let's have a snowball fight!"

Lu Shiheng was eager to try.

In the snowball fight last year, my eldest brother smashed him with snowballs. He had practiced with paper balls in advance, and he would definitely not be worse than last time. He couldn't help laughing happily when he thought that his eldest brother would be smashed by him and run around in the snow.

Cheng Yu saw Lu Shiheng's expression and knew that the younger brother was acting stupid again. Every time he showed this expression, he knew that Ah Heng came up with an idea to attack the big brother, but is such a smart person so easy to attack? On the contrary, he was taught a fancy lesson by his elder brother every time, but he actually became more and more courageous.

Lu Shian smiled but not smiled: "Okay, come on." As soon as he finished speaking, a rubbed snowball smashed at Lu Shiheng. The snowball was soft, so it was okay to hit the end.

Lu Shiheng was hit in the head by a ball, and he was directly smashed. After reacting, he immediately hit back, but Lu Shian was very flexible. He couldn't find the right head at all. Jade.

Cheng Yu didn't want to play at first, but when he saw this kid hit him, he was still laughing, so he was not happy and quickly joined them.

So the three of them huddled together.

Seeing them having such a good time, Qin Lan also wanted to join, but Cheng Changying watched him firmly.

He was a little unhappy, and Cheng Changying hurriedly hugged him.

In fact, Qin Lan is really good at coaxing him. As long as Cheng Changying or Cheng Yu coaxes him, he will not lose his temper.

Cheng Changying hadn't experienced this kind of warmth when there were juniors joking around in the family for a long time, and he couldn't help but think back to his own son and nephew.

For so many years, because of Cheng Yu and Qin Lan, he has not returned home once. In fact, he still misses his family a little in his heart, but he has resentment in his heart and feels ashamed of Qin Lan and Cheng Yu, so he is willing to live in this small place.

Now that Cheng Yu is back, he must also want to know what happened back then.

He decided to tell all the past events he didn't want to talk about today.

For him, it was a relief.

Because they had a snowball fight today, there was sweat and snow on their bodies, so they were all going to take a bath before eating lunch.

Cheng Changying's family originally had some servants, but they didn't live here. Now that the weather is cold, Cheng Changying does not allow Lu Shian, Cheng Yu and the others to go to the kitchen, so the cook can cook in the kitchen again.

Cheng Changying was very silent for a while during the meal, Cheng Yu felt that Cheng Yu was about to tell him everything.

So he didn't speak, and the dining table was quiet for a while except for the sound of eating.

Lu Shi'an knew it, so he planned to take Lu Shiheng back to his room after eating. Before returning to the room, Uncle Cheng stopped him.

"Shi An, Shi Heng, stay and listen. I consider you as my own family, so there is no need to avoid anything."

Lu Shi'an and Lu Shiheng stayed.

It turned out that the Cheng family was a famous business family in Qixian City. Of course they are not a real family, but when it comes to doing business, they really have the background of a family.

In Cheng Changying's generation, their family's business has reached the point where the north and south are connected, which is not comparable to those of Lu Shian's small business.

They have their own business, and they have a good relationship with officials and local snakes along the way, but there was a big business that required Cheng Changying's father to discuss it in person.

Cheng Changying's father also carried goods, so he took the waterway. Who knew that the boat that Cheng Changying's father was on was manipulated by the enemy, so he was in danger.

The water was so fast that no one who got into the water could catch him. A local fisherman had excellent water skills and jumped into the water to save people without saying a word.

Who knows that people were rescued, but they were washed away by the water.

When Master Cheng woke up, he knew that his savior had died to save him, and he was very sad. After inquiring about the benefactor, I learned that there was only one daughter in the family, so I brought the girl who was about the same age as my son and went home, and also recognized the godfather.

The girl knew that her father was drowned in order to save this kind and rich master, and at first she rejected Master Cheng.

But all the way down, she found that Master Cheng was really kind to him, so she gradually dispelled her resentment.

The more interesting thing is that Mrs. Yan, who has always been very honest to people, that is Cheng Changying's mother, actually fell in love with this little girl, and this little girl lost her mother since childhood and had never experienced the care of female elders, so she regarded Yan Yan. Shi is a mother.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Cheng Changying and the girl who changed her name to Cheng Siyan as brothers and sisters, but as she got older, the girl had bad thoughts and actually wanted to ask Cheng Changying's mother Yan to take her away. The betrothed to Cheng Changying.

Cheng Changying rejected his mother many times, saying that he only wanted to marry Qin Lan. Although Yan was not happy, he also respected his son's idea.

Cheng Siyan entangled many times, and Cheng Changying forgave her in the face of his parents.

Later, Cheng Changying finally got married with the person she liked, and she rarely appeared in front of them. Unexpectedly, in order to vent her anger, she secretly colluded with outsiders and stole Cheng Yu out.

Lu Shian also knew what happened later.

As for why the child thief would throw away Cheng Yu instead of selling it, it is estimated that one is sympathetic, and the other is that he is afraid that things will be revealed and he will be beaten to death by the Cheng family.

So Cheng Yu, who might have been sold or killed, appeared on a hill far from Shitou Village, and happened to be picked up by Lu Dongsheng and his wife passing by.

Before Cheng Changying could catch the man, he was killed inexplicably.

Cheng Changying felt that it might be done by the enemy family, so he cut off the news of looking for his son, made Cheng Changying and the Cheng family estranged, and thus hurt the Cheng family.

But although Cheng Changying was angry, he didn't do anything irrational.

Therefore, the other party did not fully achieve the goal.

Angered into anger, he offered Cheng Siyan out, preparing to disgust the Cheng family.

Cheng Changying lost his mind and wanted to kill Cheng Siyan, but the Yan family desperately protected him, and Cheng Changying was disheartened. He waited for Qin Lan to wake up and left Qixian City overnight.
