Li Shimin

Chapter 42

"Your Majesty, you can see that Xiao Shizi's interest in arithmetic will definitely become a generation of arithmetic masters in the future. I don't dare to be a teacher!"

Li Xuandao.At once
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, who was still lying on the table and kept fiddling with calculations, his face darkened, some black iron could not be made of steel, this kid used to be very smart, why is he so stupid today?

"Young master, you are being polite. It is precisely because Gao Ming loves arithmetic so much that I need to find Gao Ming an expert in arithmetic!" Li Shimin laughed loudly.

"Looking at all the mathematicians in the Tang Dynasty, I have never seen anyone who is taller than the little master!"

"Your Majesty..."

Li Xuan opened his mouth, speechless.

Although this self-proclaimed Hejian County King is a bit addicted, he is the genuine His Majesty Li Er.

It would be a bit bad if I keep evading myself so much while I still live in someone else's village.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan felt that it would be better to start once, and his face straightened.

"Your Majesty, do you really want the boy to teach the little prince to learn arithmetic?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"Also ask Master to teach Gao Ming how to learn arithmetic!"

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was originally lying on the table, had calculated the result at some point, and was standing aside respectfully, looking at Li Xuan with admiration.

"My lord, to learn the arithmetic of a kid, you need to give up your calculation chips. Moreover, it is not a one-day effort to learn it, it takes a long time!"

Li Xuan said solemnly.

"I know about this!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

Li Chengqian also nodded solemnly.

"I don't know how long the little prince can learn arithmetic from the kid?"

Li Xuan continued to ask.

"In the first two years, you can come to study for ten days a month!"

Li Shimin replied.

Ten days?

Li Xuan was taken aback, so much time?

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, following this little master to learn arithmetic would be so beneficial. Within a month, he would have ten days to go out of the palace!

"So, in the past few days, I will write a book on the basics of arithmetic for Xiao Shizi!"

Li Xuan continued to ask: "I don't know His Royal Highness's Nine Nine Songs, can you already know how to recite them?"

"Nine nine songs?"

Li Shimin quickly looked at Li Chengqian, and he was really ashamed to say that, he had always tested Li Chengqian's Confucian classics and history, and had never tested arithmetic.

"Back to Master, Gao Ming already knows how to recite!"

As he spoke, a trace of complacency flashed across Li Chengqian's face, and he began to recite aloud: "Nine nine 81, nine eight 72,...two two is four."

After listening, Li Xuan nodded secretly.

"His Royal Highness can memorize ninety-nine songs at the age of ten years old, it is not easy!"

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiujiuge had been compiled and used by people.And because Jiujiuge is from "Nine Nine 81" to "Two Two Like Four", there are 36 sentences in total, and because it starts from "Nine Nine 81", it is named Jiujiuge.

However, it is clear that the ancients did not maximize the role of Jiujiuge.

"Then I don't know if everything is the same?"

Li Xuan asked suddenly.

"Forehead?"

Li Chengqian was startled, frowned slightly, thought for a long time, his little face flushed anxiously.

"Gao Ming has disappointed the little master, there is no one in Jiujiu Song!"

"One nine is like nine!"

Li Xuan said calmly, then stood up, took out a booklet from the bedroom, and handed it to Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, this is the arithmetic book used by my master to teach the children in Lijiazhuang. You can take it and read it for a while. Among them, there are nine songs written by me. Your Highness needs to recite them again!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Chengqian stood up quickly, took the book with both hands, and thanked him.

Then, the book was opened.

It's a pity that the content on the first page is full of doubts.

"These are numbers, this is one, this is two..."

After teaching patiently, there was a sound of beating drums in Li Xuan's belly.

"It's time for dinner, I have to cook, His Royal Highness will watch by himself."

After speaking, Li Xuan stood up directly and walked outside.

"Father... Father King!"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help looking at Li Shimin who was watching from the side.

"This arithmetic, as a father, I have only heard the little master explain it once. If you have any doubts, you can wait for the little master to come back and ask the little master for advice!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then he warned, "Don't look at me as young, but my knowledge is as deep as the sea, and I am a strange person in this world!"

"Dare to ask my father, how does the young master compare with the grand master?"

Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"The way of writing, the grand master wins. The way of arithmetic and the study of things, the little master is respected!"

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian blinked and blinked his small eyes, as if he understood something, but also seemed to understand nothing, but he still cupped his hands.

"Thank you, father, for clarifying the confusion!"

Immediately, he looked around.

Although he is a prince, he has all the rare things in the Tang Dynasty in his East Palace.

However, he has never seen more than half of the objects in this room.

"Father, is this sofa also made by the little master?"

Finally, after turning around, Li Chengqian put his gaze on the sofa under him again.

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Elder Chen Donggong also wants a set!"

"Masakukan has already started production"

"Thank you, Father!"

"..."

After half an hour.

As a strong smell of rice came into the room, Li Chengqian followed Li Shimin curiously.

Walk out of the main hall and come to the dining room.

handwashing.

Serve the meal!

Then, he sat on a dining table and chairs that he had never seen before, and stared at the stir-fried vegetables on the table.

"My lord, my son, let's serve dinner!"

Li Xuan said casually, and then he had steamed buns in one hand and vegetables in the other.

Now, Li Shimin is also used to Li Xuan's way of eating. He takes care of himself, steamed buns with one hand, and vegetables with the other.

Only Li Chengqian was a little confused watching all this.

From childhood to adulthood, he always had a dining table alone.

It's not like now, a three-person one-pot dinner table.

Moreover, they also ate the same dish.

Although this dish smells unusually delicious, but...

Royal father actually eats so deliciously?

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help pursing his lips, and couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out his hands, grabbed a big steamed bun with one hand, and put a mouthful of hot food on it.

Immediately, the mouth is full of fragrance.

"Woooo..."

too delicious!

Li Chengqian was very excited, he had never eaten such a delicious meal.

Even this big steamed bun is even tastier than those made by the Imperial Household Food Bureau.

It's just that his mouth was so full of food that he couldn't make any sound.

……

After dinner.

Standing on the hillside, Li Xuan watched as Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, who had a bulging belly, got into the carriage and swayed towards the palace.

"Father, this little master can still cook?"

After walking a long distance, Li Chengqian regained his composure, looked up at Li Shimin, and asked the long-standing doubts in his heart.

"Little master's cooking skills are also superb!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"This little master is really a strange person!"

"Also a great sage!"
