“Now, please help this man calculate the unit price of each of the three items.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
The Sixth Princess quickly noted down the last question.
Then, she frowned as she looked at the question.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s lips curled up.
“In order to make it easier for you to calculate the results, 1 set the unit price of these three items relatively low. It is possible to do it in fifteen minutes.”
“If there’s no problem, I’ll start the timer now.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
The Sixth Princess frowned. “Let’s begin.”
Then, she picked up the brush and began to calculate on the paper.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t look at her. Instead, she went to the coffee table and sat down. She asked Zhao Shanshan to make her a cup of tea.
Then, she started drinking leisurely.
The entire process was silent so as not to affect the Sixth Princess’ performance.
Compared to Lin Xiaoyue’s leisurely state, the Sixth Princess was in a different state.
The Sixth Princess kept a straight face the entire time. She kept writing on the paper and constantly canceling her other calculations.
After a while, even her forehead was covered in sweat.
Finally, after a cup of tea’s time, the Sixth Princess felt that there was no hope in solving the problem and gave up.
Not far away, Lin Xiaoyue saw the Sixth Princess stop writing and sit on the chair dejectedly. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.
“You’ve already solved it?” Lin Xiaoyue asked with a smile as she put down the teacup in her hand.
The Sixth Princess sighed and finally got up.
“I give up.” Then, she said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes widened.
“There’s still about half a cup of tea’s time left. Aren’t you going to try again?” She asked with a smile.
The Sixth Princess smiled helplessly and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
“No. 1 won’t be able to find anything even if I continue.”
Then, she took out her purse.
She gave the entire purse to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Master, please tell me the answer directly. Other than 1,000 taels of silver, the rest can be considered as a reward for helping me solve my doubts.”
This time, she actually addressed Lin Xiaoyue as “master”. This also represented the Sixth Princess’ respect for Lin Xiaoyue.
Yes, respect.
Such a master of arithmetic naturally deserved that t.i.tle.
Lin Xiaoyue weighed the weight of the pouch and thought for a moment before opening it.
Then, she took out 1,000 taels of silver and returned the pouch to the Sixth Princess.
Under the puzzled gaze of the Sixth Princess, she said, “this question involves more mathematical knowledge than the previous question. If 1 want to explain it to you, 1 have to explain other knowledge first. It will take some time to explain it properly.”
“As for me, I’ve been on the road for a few days. I really don’t have the mood to teach people at this time. Therefore, you should keep this money for yourself.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
If she wanted to talk about the linear equation of three variables, she had to start from the equation.
After that, she had to start with a single variable, then two variables and so on.
In the Sixth Princess’ purse, after deducting the 1,000 taels, she only had three to four hundred taels of silver left.
Wasting his time for three to four hundred silver taels was not worth it.
She wasn’t even interested in the money anymore.
The main thing was that she realized that she seemed to be a little hungry now…
The Sixth Princess wanted to convince her.
When she heard Lin Xiaoyue say that she had been on the road for a few days, she suddenly felt guilty.
It was indeed hard on her. She had just arrived in the capital and was catching up on sleep when she was woken up by her.
“No problem, I will ask Master for advice next time.” The Sixth Princess said.
She even bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was slightly surprised and nodded at the Sixth Princess.
Then, she walked over and told her the answer.
“Item A costs 6 wen, Item B costs 3 wen, and Item C costs 2 wen. You can check it.”
The Sixth Princess quickly noted down the answer.
Then, she checked the answer.
The Sixth Princess’s eyes lit up when she realized that they matched.
“Master, you’re talented! I am convinced!” Then, she bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Your Highness is too polite.”
“If there’s nothing else…” Lin Xiaoyue wanted them to leave.
She no longer had a bad impression of the Sixth Princess. However, she was hungry and did not have the mood to continue chatting with her.
A hint of embarra.s.sment flashed across the Sixth Princess ‘face.
“No…then I will take my leave…” The Sixth Princess bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again before leaving..
