Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: Peerless Village Girl

Chapter 2 Assessment
"Are you here to apply for the accountant?"

Chen Lian, the second steward of the Chen residence, looked at the girl in front of Qiao Li, frowning into Sichuan characters, and asked suspiciously: "Have you ever studied arithmetic?"

Mo Feiyi, who was dressed in a coarse cloth dress with a lot of patches, was blocked by the doorman when he entered the gate of the Chen residence. The two quarreled and alarmed Chen Er, who was in charge of recruiting the accountant.

She replied calmly, "Yes."

Seeing Chen Er's suspicious expression on his face, Mo Feiyi smiled slightly, "Second Manager, you can write a question to test the little girl."

She didn't have the slightest distaste for Chen Lian's expression. The other party's expression was indeed quite normal. Poor families were desperately trying to get enough food and clothing. How could they have any spare money for their children to go to school, let alone girls? get married.

The daughter who is married, the water that was thrown out.

"Okay, get your pen, ink and abacus!"

Manager Chen Er was straightforward and did not embarrass Mo Feiyi, and ordered his servants to bring pens, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus.
Is there any real talent and learning, whether it is Dongguo or Nanguo, as she said, the face-to-face assessment will make it all clear?
Some servants of the Chen family put down the tables and chairs, set up the abacus, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Chen Er steward motioned Mo Feiyi to sit down and get ready.

"and many more."

Mo Feiyi turned to the servant standing beside him and said, "Brother, please, can you get a goose or chicken wing feather for the little girl? The harder the better."

Although her calligraphy is not very good-looking, it is also so-so, but I am not used to counting with brush characters, so it is better to count with a hard pen.

It was impossible to have fountain pens in the Tang Dynasty, so we had to use quill pens instead.

The servants of Chen's mansion quickly brought a thick goose feather, and according to what Mo Feiyi said, they sharpened one end.

Holding the quill, Mo Feiyi smiled and nodded to Steward Chen Er, indicating that it was time to start.

Manager Chen Er shook his head and asked a question, "Ten pennies for a bucket of rice, how much is a stone of rice?"

"One hundred coins."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Feiyi smiled and answered the answer. She originally thought it was difficult, but she never thought it would be so easy.
Steward Chen Er was slightly startled, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "If it's [-] cents a bucket of rice, how much is a twelve bucket of rice?"

Isn't the square of 12 144?
Mo Feiyi didn't even think about it, she just said the number, she was admitted to Peking University with excellent grades, this kind of math problem for children is easier than drinking boiled water, besides, she has also learned mental arithmetic.

Manager Chen Er asked a few more questions, and Mo Feiyi was able to answer them quickly without making any calculations, which made him very satisfied.In terms of arithmetic, I have passed the test completely, and the next step is to look at her handwriting.
Manager Chen Er signaled Mo Feiyi to write a few words at will. Mo Feiyi pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and swiped a brush.

Now is the critical time of the assessment, so of course she has to show the bottom of the box.
