Concubine's elegance is peerless

Chapter 39 Math Puzzles
Rong Xueyi saw that the old man looked like an old urchin in the Condor, and she knew that if the old man came up with a question, nine out of ten it would be about mathematics. As a person from the 21st century, she has learned a lot. She is not afraid of him if she knows a bunch of data put forward by her predecessors!

She smiled and said, "Come out!"

Mo Yan saw that she was extremely confident and deeply thoughtful. Master Yuan learned from ancient and modern, and the questions he asked were absolutely not bad. She answered it so easily. Does she have any talents he doesn't know about?
The old man hardly thought about it, and said directly: "There are chickens and rabbits in a cage. There are 35 heads and 94 feet in total. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"

He saw this topic in an ancient book. It took him seven days and seven nights to figure it out. It is impossible for such a little girl to figure it out.

Rong Xueyi wanted to laugh, this Master Yuan is really a fan of mathematics, but this question is placed in the 21st century, and any junior high school student can solve it.

Seeing her laughing, the old man glared at her and said, "What are you laughing at? Can't figure it out! If you can't figure it out, get out of here, and don't disturb the peace of my old man's house again!"

Rong Xueyi said in a low voice: "I laugh not because the question you asked is difficult, but because the question is too simple. I heard that Master Yuan was a scholar who studied ancient and modern, so I came in, but after seeing you, I I regret it, even if you don’t know how to calculate the ratio of pi, you even took out a simple question like chicken and rabbit in the same cage to test me.

The old man said angrily: "You girl is so impolite! You can ruin my old man's reputation by saying such rude words if you can't figure it out!"

"A total of twelve rabbits and 23 chickens." Rong Xueyi said directly.

The old man's original anger turned into a deflated ball because of her words. He said in disbelief, "How did you figure it out?"

Rong Xueyi stretched out a finger to his head and said, "Use this to calculate it!"

After she finished speaking, she said to Mo Yan, "Master Yuan has gained a false reputation, let's go!"

Mo Yan had already seen a bit of the doorway at this time. Although she wondered how she could solve such a complex problem in such a short period of time, she still nodded cooperatively.

Master Yuan was in a hurry, grabbed her hand and said, "I'll ask another question, if you figure it out again I'll... I'll give this to you."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a book on the table and handed it over. Rong Xueyi had no interest in the tattered book, but Mo Yan's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood that the book was just a treasure among the only books.

"I'm not interested." Rong Xueyi refused directly: "This book is too broken, I don't want it!"

"Then what do you want?" Master Yuan asked.

Rong Xueyi said lightly: "For your sincerity, I will give you a problem to do it. If you can do it with a stick of incense, I will stay with you. This book has to promise me one thing.”

"Okay, I agree." Master Yuan said hurriedly.

Rong Xueyi smiled and said, "I don't ask too difficult questions either. I'm afraid you won't be able to answer them, so I'll ask you a question similar to the one you just asked. A rooster is worth five coins, and a hen is worth three coins. One chick is worth one copper, and then one hundred coppers are used to buy chickens, how many roosters, how many hens, and how many chicks can you buy in total?"
