It was Lin Xiuhan's dream to learn new knowledge. Next, Jingyi taught Lin Xiuhan how to recognize the ten Arabic numerals from 0 to 9.

Lin Xiuhan certainly learned some arithmetic given his family background. But at this time, people focused more on how to write good articles and poems, and did not pay much attention to arithmetic.

But people cannot do without arithmetic in their daily lives, so all the children of aristocratic families must learn it.

Lin Xiuhan is very interested in the new counting text now, and he is learning it very quickly.

When he figured out some simple counting methods, he was very surprised and said, "Jing Yan, this kind of writing is very useful for counting."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it to do calculations. Let's learn these first today, and I will give you calculations later. It's the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. After learning it, you will find it easier to record some data.

"

Lin Xiuhan smiled and said: "Thank you Jing Yan. I can learn a new knowledge from you again."

Nowadays, Qiao Yan does most of the cooking at home. In the past, Xingyi would take her to learn every time he cooked, so Qiao Yan's cooking skills improved greatly and she also took over the kitchen duties.

After all, Jing Yi is their master, so he can't always let his master cook for them.

Because Lin Xiuhan came, Jingyi asked Qiao Yan to cook a few more dishes for lunch.

Of course, Jing Yi had lunch with Lin Xiuhan, and the two of them chatted while eating.

Since Lin Xiuhan was going to be taught mathematics, Jing Yi was also going to teach mathematics to brothers and sisters Song Yuancheng and Qiao Hong.

From now on, they will all be his right-hand men, and they must be trained as soon as possible.

From then on, Song Yuancheng and the others not only had to learn martial arts, but also literature, not only literacy but also arithmetic.

Song Yuancheng was born in a family and was very knowledgeable, so Jingyi asked him to teach Qiao Hong and his sister how to read. However, Song Yuan's achievements were not enough, so he had to study with Qiao Hong and the others.

All three of them cherished the opportunity to learn.

Sometimes when Jingyi left math homework for them, Lin Xiuhan would discuss it with them. Lin Xiuhan didn't have the airs of a county magistrate in the Chu family, he was just like the big brother next door.

It's very easy to get along with everyone.

In the capital, Xiao Yilin spent most of his time in the military camp and rarely returned to the palace, which meant he did not go to court every day.

Xiao Chenghan was worried about his son's health, so he sent Han Li to the military camp to tell him to take care of his health, and also gave him a lot of medicinal materials to replenish his body.

Xiao Chenghan has been urging people to investigate Jing Yi. Soon the spy sent by Xiao Chenghan sent Jing Yi's information to his desk.

Xiao Chenghan gradually frowned as he looked at the information on the paper.

At the beginning, Jingyi spent money to get false identities for herself and her mother. Their ancestral origins were randomly made up based on the places where some refugees came from. It didn't matter if no one traced them. But as long as you check carefully, you will find the loopholes.

Xiao Chenghan sent people to the place of Jing Yi's registered ancestral home to investigate, but there was no family that matched Jing Yi's identity. Not to mention the one with the surname Chu, even some famous local medical families did not meet the situation Jing Yi said.

In Xiao Chenghan's opinion, Jing Yi's origins are unknown.

Xiao Chenghan did not expect that the investigation into Dr. Chu's identity would lead to such a result. How could he safely allow his son to marry such a woman of unknown origin?

Xiao Chenghan immediately summoned Xiao Yilin into the palace.

Xiao Chenghan frowned and handed a few pieces of paper to Xiao Yilin, "Fourth, look, this is the origin of Dr. Chu that I asked people to investigate."

Xiao Yilin was stunned for a moment and then took the paper and read it.

Xiao Chenghan said: "How can you marry such a woman of unknown origin to be your princess? I don't even know if her name is true."

Xiao Yulin frowned after reading the information on the paper and said: "Father, I don't care where she comes from. I only know that she saved me when I was in danger and cured me in the end. Without Jing Yan, there would be no life.

me now.

Moreover, Jing Yan told me at the beginning that she was persecuted and had no choice but to stay anonymous and leave her hometown before arriving in Yunxi Village. Since she said so, her name must have been changed later. What does it matter? The name is just one

It's just a title, as long as I know it's her.

Father, if it were not for Jingyan, I might have been dead long ago. From this point of view, Jingyan would not be harmful to me, but beneficial to me. So what does my marrying her have to do with her identity?"

Xiao Chenghan sighed and said: "Fourth, have you ever thought about it, if you marry this Doctor Chu as your princess, she will not have a natal family behind her, so she will not be able to give you any help."

Xiao Yilin said: "Father, I don't care if she has a natal family. Besides, she can help me herself."

Xiao Chenghan couldn't help but ask: "What help can she give you?"

Xiao Yilin sighed, "Father, she didn't help me enough? She saved my life. Father, you know that I opened a restaurant with Jing Yan in partnership, and you know that I made a profit in just two months."

How much money did you pay? Forty thousand taels. It's just a restaurant. The delicious and novel dishes in the restaurant are all recipes given by Jingyan.

Father, I want to open a Cyclamen restaurant in the capital. This restaurant will definitely be more profitable than the restaurant in Huizhou Prefecture. I am prepared to give you 40% of the income. You will have more money to do whatever you want to do in the future.

Take control as you wish.”

The money in the treasury belongs to the country. Even if Xiao Chenghan is the emperor, he cannot control it at will. Only the things in his own inner treasury belong to him and can be used at will. There are indeed a lot of good things in his inner treasury, but there is really not a lot of money.

.

After all, the people below always send rare treasures as tribute, and few people would directly give silver in a tacky way.

Moreover, Xiao Chenghan would reward people with gold and silver from time to time, which also led to Xiao Chenghan having a lot of treasures, but real money and silver were indeed very limited.

Now his son is so arrogant that he wants to share the money directly with him. Xiao Chenghan is a bit dumbfounded, "You kid, my father is short of your money?"

Xiao Yilin said: "Father, this is your son's filial piety. You can keep it. This Xiankelai restaurant is a business for rich people. As Jing Yan said, they are all high-end customers and they earn a lot of money."

The money in the pockets of rich people will not affect the livelihood of ordinary people. This can be regarded as robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

There is also the soy sauce workshop that Jing Yi and I cooperate with. Although the soy sauce is not sold in the market yet, I think it will make less money.

Jing Yan gave me a suggestion, saying that 40% of the future profits of this soy sauce workshop should be allocated to military expenses. This is equivalent to her directly contributing 20% ​​of her own profits. Isn’t such a righteous woman worthy of praise?

?”

After hearing what Xiao Yilin said, Xiao Chenghan really changed his mind about Dr. Chu a lot. He nodded and said: "So, Dr. Chu really has a gap in his heart. He is also an elegant woman. I will call her in after the winter wheat is harvested.

Jing, when the time comes, I want to see this girl in person."
