Wanjin Lady

Chapter 57 Bozhou Cheng Family
When he first met her, he knew that although this young lady looked docile, she was actually full of plans!

Cheng Yunzhang took out a few ingots of silver and placed them on the table. "Five jars of platinum-stored rice wine. Is that enough to buy an answer from Shopkeeper Wen?"

Wen Wan sighed, a wry smile on her face, "Sir, please don't hinder my business."

Cheng Yunzhang added two more silver ingots, "Ten jars."

Wen Wan remained unmoved. "This...this...Sir, please don't embarrass me. This is a winery, not a school!"

Cheng Yunzhang pulled out a banknote from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He stared at Wen Wan with a smile, not missing a single expression on her face. "Shopkeeper Wen, twenty jars. Or... just name your price."

The young lady stretched out her soft and boneless hand.

With a "whoosh" sound, the banknote was taken away at lightning speed.

This was the first time Cheng Yunzhang wanted to use the word "vulgar" to describe a girl.

But apart from "obscene", he couldn't find any other more appropriate words.

"Since you are so eager to learn, I really can't bear to refuse you. Well, even though Master has repeatedly requested it, I can no longer care about Master's orders."

in short.

Wenwan is going to make a decision that goes against her ancestors.

She pulled out the yellow paper beside the table, and then took out a...strange reed pen, lowered her head and wrote on the paper "swish, swish, swish".

Cheng Yunzhang leaned over to take a look.

Miss Wen's handwriting is very ugly.

Like a fat, crawling maggot.

But her fingers were so beautiful, slender, white, and smooth like jade, that he was momentarily dazed.

She slowly pushed the yellow paper towards him, a typical sweet smile on her face, "Since you are so sincere, I will give you some hints."

A hint of inspiration appeared on Cheng Yunzhang's face. He had been calculating for half an hour but couldn't find the solution. Now the solution was right in front of him.

There was a hint of piety in his eyes.

Take it with both hands.

Then, the man's handsome brows frowned.

Suppose there are fifty jars of golden wine, each costing one hundred coins. Among every ten jars, two are discounted by two hundred coins and one hundred coins respectively. What is the selling price to ensure a profit?
That's the problem.

"Tian Yuan Technique?" The young man took a few breaths, then looked at Wen Wan in disbelief, "Four Symbols Gathering Origin?"

As the pinnacle of the development of Tianyuanshu, the "Four Symbols Huiyuan" in "Four Yuan Yujian" which lists heaven, earth, man and things side by side, only has the first half, and the solution to the second half has been lost in the wars of history.

The current level of mathematics in the Chen Dynasty is only able to use geometric methods to solve cubic equations.

"Is your master the heir of the Zhu family?"

Heir of the Zhu family?

She remembered that her high school math teacher's surname was indeed Zhu.

Isn't this a coincidence?
Wen Wan smiled inscrutable and flicked her sleeves, neither denying nor admitting, "My master travels the world and doesn't like to be bound by rules. Young Master, please don't mention this to outsiders."

Cheng Yunzhang's hand holding the thin paper was trembling slightly. The academic master was fooled by her and didn't know what was going on. His eyes were bright and frightening. "I will remember this and won't tell anyone."

"But why is there only the Tianyuan style and no solution?"

Wen Wan looked at him quietly with her eyes, but did not speak.

When you don’t know how to answer a question, you can choose not to speak, look into the other person’s eyes calmly and silently, and ask the question to them.

As expected, the young man immediately began to reflect on himself, "I know. It must be that Shopkeeper Wen thinks I'm not sincere enough."

He started taking out money again.

Wen Wan shook her head and said, "Sir, knowledge is worth a thousand gold. Don't use money to tarnish my winery."

Cheng Yunzhang did not stuff a few more banknotes into her hand as she had expected after three rounds. Instead, he withdrew his hand. The man's face was no longer as arrogant as before. Now he bowed to Wen Wan sincerely and said, "I didn't know that Shopkeeper Wen was a descendant of the Zhu family. I was rude and made the shopkeeper laugh."

Wen Wan looked at him with regret as he threw away the sachet containing the silver bills.

There were several white silver bills inside.

This guy is a total scoundrel! A rich one at that! Why didn't he play the high-minded, feigned indifference game earlier?

"But I have no other intentions. I just want to know the solution to the Four Symbols Convergence."

The voice sounded sincere.

The top student is also a schoolboy.

"How about Shopkeeper Wen offer some conditions? I will show you my sincerity."

Wen Wan smiled and refused, "Master doesn't want to cause trouble, so I naturally don't dare to reveal the secret. Young Master, you can't find the answer from me, please go back."

Cheng Yunzhang stood for a moment, took a deep breath, his eyes calm and resolute, "I will come to the tavern again tomorrow until the shopkeeper is willing to teach me something."

The top student is actually a stubborn one?
Wen Wan shouted at the man's thin back, "I may not be in the tavern tomorrow."

"No problem. Sincerity is the key to success."

The man suddenly stopped and turned his head.

The sunlight fell around him, and the man in white clothes looked like an immortal, ethereal as if he had flown into the sky.

His brows softened, and he smiled softly, "By the way, Shopkeeper Wen, my surname is Cheng, and my given name is Yunzhang. I come from the Cheng family of Bozhou."

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows and said "Oh", but didn't say anything else.

Bozhou Cheng family, is it very...awesome?

Wasn't it because she tricked me into buying so many jars of wine?

Oh, next time she introduces herself to others, she should also say: Wen family of Ping County.

But...where have I heard of the Cheng family of Bozhou?
Sounds very familiar.

Cheng Yunzhang walked in front holding the thin paper, while the winery workers carried jars of wine to the carriage under the shade of the trees.

Yuan Jing waited in the carriage for a long time, and saw that the Wen family wine shop was crowded with people. He watched jar after jar of old wine being emptied, and his heart was very sad.

He thought that the Wen family's winery was clearing out its inventory today, and he would be able to buy all of it at a low price. He could get rid of the Wen family with a few pieces of cake and extinguish their hope of making a comeback, and then the winery would be his own.

But Wen Wan pretended to use a discount coupon and actually sold all the aged wine at a high price!
Yuan Jing was so angry that his eyes turned red.

This idiot from the countryside is really ignorant. He is so eager to give money to the Wen family!
hateful!

When Cheng Yunzhang came back, he was followed by several servants of the Wen family who were carrying wine. The men placed jars of wine at the back of the carriage, instantly filling up the carriage, which was not very big to begin with.

Yuan Jing looked surprised, "Youngest, what are you doing?"

Cheng Yunzhang completely ignored Yuan Jing's dark face and only looked at the paper in his hand with an extremely focused expression, "Buy some wine."

Yuan Jing was furious and asked, "Then why did you buy the Wen family's wine?"

Cheng Yunzhang didn't even raise his head. "Shopkeeper Wen has what I want."

Yuan Jing became even angrier.

He knew that his cousin was very frugal with words and had an eccentric personality, so he patiently asked, "What could she possibly have that you want?"

"The solution to a math problem."

"What's the question?"

"The Four Symbols Meet in One."

"What is the Four Symbols Huiyuan?"

"The solution to a math problem."

The dialogue loop was successfully closed.

Yuan Jing finally lost his temper, and then he suddenly realized that Cheng Laoyao was clearly treating him like a dog again!

Once upon a time, at the Yuan family's Spring Festival reunion dinner, his father asked him to recite a book for the elders. Six-year-old Yuan Jing's recitation was muddled, but this boy, hiding in the crowd, kept giving him encouraging smiles, which made him more and more confident and confident that he could do it.

Finally he found out that his father asked him to recite the "Three Character Classic", and the first sentence he recited was... the "Thousand Character Classic".

Of course, in the end, he got beaten up by his father and had fried pork with bamboo shoots.

I've been fooled by this guy so many times since I was a child, why haven't I learned my lesson yet?
