Qu Feng was very helpless. Unexpectedly, Zhang He had a last resort, and now it became troublesome again. The card of the young master was completely useless.

Lin Ruoshan did not dare to frown the eldest lady, and suddenly felt that he was not very interested. He sat on the chair boredly. Within three seconds, he actually started snoring.

Depend on!

Everyone was stunned.

Yan Qi was also very surprised: Is this the legendary person with a wide heart and a fat body who sleeps well?

Qu Feng grimaced and whispered to Yan Qi: "What should we do now? We obviously won, but we didn't expect Zhang He to come up with the required questions for the eldest lady."

Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it is naturally impossible for Zhang He to know in advance the questions that the eldest lady personally asked. Zhang He and Zhang Wencai cannot cheat. I will definitely win."

Qu Feng was not so optimistic: "I hope so, I'm afraid Zhang He will try his best to cheat."

Yan Qi shook his head: "You underestimate the eldest lady too much. The eldest lady is not an ordinary person. How could he let his subordinates succeed so easily? Even Zhang He can't do it. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Zhang Wencai came over and whispered to Zhang He: "Uncle, what test questions did the eldest lady ask? Tell me quickly so that I can know in advance and compare myself to Yan Qi."

Zhang He had a wry smile on his face: "What good thing are you thinking of? How can I know in advance the questions that the eldest lady will ask."

Zhang Wencai was stunned: "Uncle, you are the team leader. It is not easy to know the test questions in advance."

It's easy to lift a fart!

Zhang He sighed and waved his hands helplessly.

A servant handed over a box.

There are five locks on the box, but Zhang He only has one key in his hand.

The remaining four keys are in the hands of the four members of the jury.

This means that in order to open this box, all five locks must be opened.

However, the five keys are divided into five people and it is very difficult to cheat.

Moreover, the other four team members are all confidants of the eldest lady and only listen to the eldest lady.

Although Zhang He is the chief steward, he cannot really give orders to these four team members.

Zhang Wencai gave up now.

Seeing this, Qu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief: "The eldest lady is still very powerful. If she hadn't done this, Zhang He would have taken advantage of her. Yan Qi, you still have some ideas, and you can actually guess the eldest lady's methods."

Yan Qi shamelessly boasted: "It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."

At this moment, Zhang He was also very uneasy and didn't know what the test questions were. If Yan Qi hadn't come out to disrupt the situation, he wouldn't have had to ask the eldest lady's question at all. When the time came, he would have just found an excuse to put it off.

But now, the eldest lady's exam questions have become Zhang He's life-saving straw.

Zhang He and four team members opened the box together, and there was a red tips bag inside.

There are two pieces of paper in the kit.

Take out the first piece of paper with the question types, rules, and introduction written on it.

Yan Qi raised her toes and took a look, and saw the small characters of "Juanxiu" flowing like a stream, smooth and continuous.

"Good words." Yan Qi gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Henian said: "The Lin Mansion is based on business. Businessmen buy and sell, and the necessary condition for buying and selling is arithmetic. Therefore, accurate arithmetic is the foundation of the Lin Mansion's servants."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that the eldest lady's test was arithmetic.

When Zhang He and Zhang Wencai saw this, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Qu Feng, on the other hand, has a pig liver look on his face.

Yan Qi was puzzled: "Butler Qu, why does your face look so ugly?"

Qu Feng was about to cry: "You don't know, Zhang Wencai is the best at arithmetic, but this test is about arithmetic. Isn't this intentional to help Zhang Wencai? Yan Qi, our fate is not good, I'm afraid this test is... Gonna lose.”

There were also some talented people who knew that Zhang Wencai was very powerful and whispered about him.

"Zhang Wencai's poetry is so-so, but his arithmetic is an expert."

"Zhang Wencai's method of addition and subtraction is beyond comparison with mine."

"This test question seems to be tailor-made for Zhang Wencai."



Everyone thinks that Zhang Wencai will win, and they are not optimistic about Yan Qi.

Yan Qi couldn't laugh or cry: "My popularity is so low? What are you looking at me?"

Zhang Wencai lost to Yan Qi twice in a row, wilting like an eggplant beaten by frost.

But now that I learned that the question was an arithmetic question, my tail started to rise again.

"Yan Qi, the next question is about arithmetic. Is this even necessary? I think you'd better abstain to avoid embarrassment. It is no exaggeration to say that among all the talented people present, no one can beat me in arithmetic. You How can Yan Qi be my opponent?"

Yan Qixiao looked at Zhang Wencai: "Are you good at arithmetic?"

"Of course!" Zhang Wencai was very proud: "I am familiar with the art of addition and subtraction."

"Then do you know what multiplication and division are?"

"Multiplication and division?"

Zhang Wencai looked confused: "What is multiplication and division? Is it related to arithmetic?"

It turns out that there is no multiplication and division in this world!

Yan Qi laughed and shook his head: "You don't know how to multiply and divide, but you dare to call yourself proficient in arithmetic. It's really funny."

Zhang Wencai shouted: "Stop bragging, Yan. Let's see how I defeat you. Uncle, please reveal the test questions quickly. I want to teach Yan Qi how to be a good person in front of everyone."

Zhang He also felt much more relaxed. After all, Zhang Wencai's arithmetic was obvious to all.

He took out a second piece of paper with the title written on the top: The monk divided the steamed buns.

There are four lines of poetry below:

One hundred steamed buns, one hundred monks,

There is no dispute among the three great monks.

There are three young monks, one for each,

How big are the big and small monks? "

To solve this question, the time limit is one stick of incense, and the first one to answer correctly wins.

Yan Qi found it interesting after hearing this: It turned out to be a word question, and the eldest lady was indeed extraordinary.

However, Zhang Wencai was a little confused.

The arithmetic method he was proficient in was, to put it bluntly, addition and subtraction, but this kind of word problem was a new thing that he had never seen before, and he was a little confused for a while.

However, this kind of word problems is not unfamiliar to Yan Qi. He started doing word problems in the third grade of elementary school.

The topic has been announced, and one of the servants hastened to light a stick of incense.

Everyone is also thinking.

If the four-line poem of the eldest lady is translated into vernacular, its meaning is: There are one hundred monks dividing one hundred steamed buns, and they have finished dividing them. If the big monk shares three steamed buns each, and the three young monks share one steamed bun, how many people do each of the big and small monks have?

This question sounds simple, but when you think about it, it’s a big headache.

Everyone thought about it over and over, but they couldn't figure it out.

One hundred monks, one hundred steamed buns, even if you count your fingers and toes, it's not enough.

Zhang Wencai pondered the topic carefully. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His face turned red like a monkey's butt, trying to figure out the mystery.

Zhang Wencai flexed his fingers, but they were not enough. He had no choice, so he took off his shoes and stretched out his toes, not caring about the elegance of a scholar.

Yan Qi covered her nose and shouted: "It stinks, it stinks to the sky, if anyone takes off their shoes, it will stink."

Zhang Wencai was blushing, but he couldn't care less about counting.

However, even with the toes open, it seems to be a lot worse.

Yan Qi reminded him in kind: "Why don't you go get a hundred steamed buns and let a hundred servants line up in front of you so you can count them?"
