Chapter 508 Zhou Ji's Appreciation

"In the letter, Ziheng said that he wanted me to go to Hangzhou and wanted to find me..."

About Lu Qiu's fraud in the imperial examination back then, of course Xiao Mo would not write it clearly in the letter, because Xiao Mo was afraid that the letter would be lost by the person in charge and then fall into Lu Qiu's hands, which would be bad done!
"What's the matter?" Xie Yan frowned.

Xiao Mo said that there is something to do, and Xiao Mo can leave Shen County and come to Hangzhou at this time, and even his father-in-law has to be called over, which means that this matter is not a trivial matter!
Since it was not a trivial matter, Xie Yan became worried.

After all, Xiao Mo is his son-in-law. Isn't his business the Xie family's business?
So Xie Yan said: "Then you go there, and by the way, tell Ziheng that I haven't seen my granddaughter for a long time, the old man, and let him bring that girl Yunjing back home to have a look..."

Hearing Xie Yan's words, Xie Yun nodded, and suddenly someone came to report that King Wu was here!

"Wu Wang?" Xie Yun looked at Xie Yan and said, "Father, Wu Wang hasn't come to our house for a while!"

"This old guy, ever since Ziheng left Jiangning, he has rarely come to our house. He said he didn't dare to come to Wuyi Lane. He thinks about people when he sees things..." At this point, Xie Yan looked at Xie Yun and smiled again He got up: "In fact, he is not thinking about people when he sees things, but Ziheng gave the old man a picture scroll before he left. It is called Jiugongge. It is said to be an arithmetic problem. This old man studies this at home every day. Jiugongge..."

"A topic? Study every day?" Xie Yun clicked his tongue, looked at Xie Yan and asked, "Father, it must be half a year since Ziheng left Jiangning?"

"Not bad!"

"In the past six months, King Wu has not solved the problem yet?"

"Hmm! Uh..."

Xie Yan looked at Xie Yun in surprise, and after a moment of silence, Xie Yan burst out laughing.

"Half a year, half a year!" Xie Yan shook his head and said with a smile, "Well, you old man Zhou, it took half a year to solve Ziheng's problem, tsk tsk..."

After all, Xie Yan proudly brought Xie Yun to the lobby, and then met King Wu Zhou Ji.

Half a year has passed, and Zhou Ji looks much older.In particular, the gray hair on both temples made her look even older.

But compared to Xie Yan, Zhou Ji is still very young!

"Hehe... Why is the lord here free to come to Wuyi Lane today? Could it be that we have finished seeing this thing and made a title?" Xie Yan teased Zhou Ji as soon as they met.

Zhou Ji didn't see anything, but when he heard the topic, his expression darkened, then he shook his head and said, "Thank you, I'm ashamed... ashamed!"

"Ashamed?" Hearing Zhou Ji's words, Xie Yan looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you solve the problem that Ziheng left you?"

When Zhou Ji heard this, he naturally sighed again!
Xie Yan and Xie Yunhe were surprised. What kind of question is this question that Ziheng left for Zhou Ji?Why did Zhou Ji spend more than half a year without unraveling it?

Especially Xie Yan, vaguely remember Xiao Mo said that this topic was not difficult for him, and Xiao Mo also said that he had done it when he was a child...

Could it be that Zhou Ji lived his whole life, so he was not as smart as Xiao Mo when he was a child?
So Xie Yan looked at Zhou Ji strangely, looking at Zhou Ji like a fool.

When Zhou Ji saw Xie Yan's gaze, he felt ashamed, so he could only say: "The nine-square grid is too difficult. Ziheng only drew nine grids for me, and there are three grids connected in every way. I asked to draw one to ten grids. Fill in all the numbers of five, and add the numbers in the three grids whether horizontally, vertically or diagonally, it must be equal to fifteen..."

After all, seeing that Xie's father and son looked confused, Zhou Ji simply pulled them into the study room, and then drew a nine-square grid on the desk, asking them to try to fill in one to fifteen, and asked Regardless of whether the grid is horizontal or vertical or diagonal, the sum of the numbers inside must equal fifteen!

This is difficult for Xie Yan and Xie Yun, no wonder, Zhou Ji did not calculate it at home for more than half a year, how could Xie Yan and Xie Yun calculate it at once?

In fact, Xiao Mo used his previous life knowledge to bully Zhou Ji.

The ancients admired Confucianism and rarely studied arithmetic in depth. Zhou Ji, Xie Yan, and even Xie Yun can all be said to be literary great Confucians, but...

It's a bit embarrassing for them to let them count!
The three of them gestured at the Jiugongge for a long time, and finally sighed.

"It's too difficult!" Xie Yun wiped his sweat. Just now, he devoted himself to the calculation of Jiugongge, but he still didn't calculate it. Instead, he was sweating profusely!
And Xie Yan also nodded, now he didn't laugh at Zhou Ji anymore, since he couldn't solve this problem himself, why should he laugh at him?

But Xie Yan is proud, after all, this is his grandson-in-law's question, so Xie Yan is still a little proud in front of Zhou Ji!

Zhou Ji saw that Xie's father and son both admitted the difficulty of this question, so he didn't bother with Jiugongge anymore, but looked at Xie Yan and Xie Yun and said, "Zi Heng went to Hangzhou, I think you all know about it?"

"You also know?" Xie Yan asked Zhou Ji back.

Zhou Ji said: "That's right! Ziheng told this king about the Zhejiang matter this time. Hmph! If it wasn't for Ziheng, this king would not have known that the Zhejiang Province has become so corrupt, especially the few ministers headed by Zhejiang officials. It is even more deceitful and domineering. This has caused Zhejiang's private salt to be banned repeatedly, and how many taxes in Zhejiang have entered the private pockets of these corrupt officials!"

The more Zhou Ji talked, the angrier he became, and finally he slapped the table heavily!
"Zhejiang...private salt..." Xie Yan was naturally very shocked when he heard Zhou Ji's words, and then asked: "My lord, do you mean that Ziheng's trip to Hangzhou is for the Zhejiang matter? "

"That's natural!" Zhou Ji nodded, then looked at Xie Yan and said, "Thank you, thank you! The thing I admire most in my life is that you found a good grandson-in-law. Ziheng is outstanding in writing, Good governance and resourcefulness. After receiving Ziheng's letter, this king thought of Ziheng's affairs in Jiangning, Beijing, Liao and Shandong, and couldn't help sighing. Then... this king thought of a word to describe Ziheng! "

"Oh?" Seeing Zhou Ji's admiration for finding a good grandson-in-law, Xie Yan couldn't help but be amused when he saw Zhou Ji admired him for finding a good grandson-in-law, and then asked Zhou Ji, "I don't know what this sentence is?"

Zhou Ji thought for a while, then decided to pick up a pen and paper, and wrote a sentence on the paper.

After finishing writing, Xie Yan and Xie Yun father and son took a closer look, and saw a sentence written in black and white on the desk: Wen Neng picks up a pen to secure the world, Wu Neng immediately decides the universe!
