Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 616 Opponents
Ying Baoyue stood under the battle stage, looking at the disciple who was called after her but had already stepped onto the battle stage.

Usually young children would be nervous on such a high-profile occasion, but the little boy surnamed Du looked quite calm.Standing on the stage and looking down at her condescendingly, there was a bit of disapproval on her still childish face.

and disdain for her.

"What? Is the former Qin princess afraid? Hurry up, don't keep me waiting, I still have Taoism problems to solve!" Du Siqi yelled.

Technique... question?

Ying Baoyue was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the cute-looking but weird-talking young man on the battle stage.

She has seen many strange people in her past and present lives, but this is the first time she has met such a child.

"What is he talking about?" Ying Baoyue looked at Chen Zichu, "What is the technical question?"

Chen Zichu was also stunned when he heard the words of the young girl beside him. He didn't expect that not only would she not be angry when she heard the young boy's yelling on such an occasion, but she would be concerned about it right away.

However, as a son of a noble family, he had indeed heard of Du Siqi's strange behavior.

"Look at the place where he was originally standing," Chen Zichu said while supporting his forehead, "it should be at his feet."

Ying Baoyue looked over, and saw many...geometric figures on the ground where Du Siqi was originally standing.

Triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, fans, and circles... are all densely carved on the mud with branches, instantly bringing Ying Baoyue back to the math class before the college entrance examination.

She looked at the young boy on the high platform, no wonder she just noticed that it was not his face, but the dirt on his chest.

In her mind, the image of this little boy laying down on the ground and drawing geometric figures was immediately restored when other people practiced to fight on the stage.

It turned out that she didn't see him not only because of his height, but because he was lying on the ground all the time...

Although she has seen such a person in modern times in her previous life, she has never seen such a person in the Shanhai Continent, let alone in a family.

As the heir of the Du family, which is also known as the two great families of Southern Chu along with the Ye family, the interests of this son-in-law... are really special.

You must know that the aristocratic family has always paid attention to the cultivation of appearance and poetry and classics. Calculation of academics and mathematics are all miraculous skills. Few people learn, even fewer people are interested, and even fewer people understand them.

At this time, Gui Chen who was beside Ying Baoyue followed her eyes to look at the muddy ground, and frowned, "What are these? Ghostly drawn symbols?"

"It's all made up by several colleges, and I don't know," Chen Zichu said.

Although it was not the first time seeing him, Chen Zichu didn't understand Du Siqi's paintings either.The six arts of a gentleman are rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and number. Although there is "number" among them, number ranks last, and has always been the least valued by the family.

It is enough for the children of ordinary aristocratic families to understand the account book and not be deceived by the servants. For the aristocratic family, these are common affairs, and it is not beneficial to get involved with others.

After all, they are not artisans and untouchables. No matter how proficient the children of the aristocratic family are in arithmetic, no one will look at those weird graphics, let alone study the "angles" that Du Siqi talks about all day long.

Ying Baoyue listened to the words of the two aristocratic sons beside him who really didn't know, looked at Nidi's weird figure in the eyes of others and said quietly, "This is Fang Tian."

"Fang Tian?" Gui Chen repeated in a daze.

"Chapter 1 of "Nine Chapters of Counting", the chapter is named Fang Tian. The drawings on the ground are all the figures that appeared in Chapter [-] of Fang Tian." Ying Baoyue explained.

As we all know, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is divided into nine chapters, so it is called Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, and Chapter 1 is "Fang Tian," which mainly describes the calculation method of the area of ​​plane geometric figures.

A total of eight calculation methods for the areas of rectangles, isosceles triangles, right-angled trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, circles, fans, bows, and rings are included.In addition, it also systematically describes the four arithmetic rules of fractions, and methods of finding the greatest common divisor of numerator and denominator.

She has already chosen a statement that people in this world can understand, but Guichen should have gone to study "Pharmacopia" after being kicked out of the returning home mansion, and many aristocratic families have no chance to read the must-read books.

"Is it really the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic?" Chen Zichu said with a headache. As the most famous book on arithmetic, he certainly knew the title of this book, but he just flipped through it and didn't delve into it.

It's just that even the young masters who often go out to socialize and talk with others don't read this book. Why is it that this princess who is supposed to only learn needlework and spinning in the deep palace in front of me looks like she has read this book? look?

Even Zhao Guang, who closed his eyes to heal his injuries, opened his eyes and looked over in surprise.

"What the hell are you..." But before Chen Zichu could ask this question, the examiner's impatient voice came from the battle stage.

"Princess Qin, come on stage quickly, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up this battle!"

"I have to go," Ying Baoyue stretched out her hand to Gui Chen who was beside her, and the two clapped their hands together. She looked at the worried teenagers behind her and smiled brightly, "I'm going!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't look back, and strode onto the stage of her first battle.

The two people who were fighting stood still on the stage, but the expressions of the people and practitioners watching the two figures under the high stage were quite complicated.

"What kind of weird pairing are these?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the two tall and short figures on the stage with a delicate expression, "If these two people are not practitioners, they can only be described as old and weak women and children. "

"A young child and a woman, what kind of battle is this..."

The people under the high platform whispered.

"This young master of the Du family is also a freak... A good young genius is not obsessed with arithmetic..."

"Two freaks, who will win..."

"Mr. Du's talent is on top of each other. After all, he became the sixth rank at the age of 12. If Stepson Meng didn't participate this time, it would be said that he can reproduce the demeanor of Mr. Chunhua and win the leader!"

12-year-old grade six?
Gui Chen under the stage widened his eyes when he heard the words, "Could it be that this person..."

"Before he was ten years old, Du Siqi was a famous genius in the mainland," Zhao Guang opened his eyes and said lightly, "At that time, people said that he was the most talented child prodigy in the mainland after Lin Baoyue, the young commander."

"After that young commander..." It's really hard to imagine that boy with perverted behavior would be such a powerful person, Guichen felt like he was in an ice cellar when he heard the words.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he hadn't gone to the Mathematics Academy to study arithmetic, Du Siqi's talent might be as famous as Ji Jiashu now.

Chen Zichu's eyes were slightly cold.

But even if his reputation is gone, Du Siqi's strength is still first-class.His record was not as good as Ji Jiashu's because he was obsessed with math and didn't participate in any screenings at Jixia Academy, but if his memory was fine, Chen Zichu remembered it very clearly.

"I remember……"

Chen Zichu took a deep breath.

"Du Siqi has been undefeated so far except for Jiashu and Siyuan in the battle against the family members of the same realm."

With Ji Jiashu because Ji Jiashu's realm is higher than him, and with Ye Siyuan because Ye Siyuan said that the Ye and Du families are at odds and are determined not to compare with this young man.

Gui Chen was speechless when he heard the words, looking at the figure of Ying Baoyue on the high platform, he only had eyes full of worry.

However, the tense atmosphere in the audience did not spread to the stage.

Ying Baoyue stood still on the stage under the urging of the examiner, but found that although the examiner was urging her, Du Siqi, who had been urging her to come to the stage before, had been silent since just now.

The young Hei Doudou watched her walking up silently, and suddenly said after she stood still, "You also know Fangtian? Do you know Jiuzhang's arithmetic?"

"Know a thing or two," Ying Baoyue said, looking up at him.

Although she came from transmigration, she was a liberal arts student in her previous life, and her best subject was not mathematics. At this time, she doesn't want to make trouble in front of people who really love this way.

However, she didn't know which nerve of this talented young man was stimulated by her words, and Du Siqi's chubby face immediately turned cold when he heard the words.

"Sure enough, how can a woman understand these things." The young boy sneered, "He is another shameless person who pretends to know how to use calculations and pretends to be knowledgeable."

With two swishes, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and said proudly, "Draw your sword and attack."

"A mere seventh-level cultivator," Du Siqi sneered, "let me chop you up."

　Li Ji's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, Sound and Meaning" stated that "the square field is the right one of the field. All fields are not equal, and the square is the right one, so it is called Fangtian."
