 Chapter 431: Arithmetic Calculation

People like Ye Pozi, who didn't have their own mule carts, usually rode the village's ox carts, so they set out very early every day.


Hearing this, Ye Muyu felt relieved and nodded. It had been a while since she last saw Ye Pozi and she wondered how she was doing. But she figured Ye Pozi was probably doing fine since she helped sell pickled vegetables every three or four days.


"Ah Yu, your method of calculation..." Chu Heng suddenly spoke up, his eyes flashing with a deep light. He seemed to be somewhat puzzled by Ye Muyu's gaze and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as if he couldn't quite understand her. The hidden unease in his heart shook him greatly.


He maintained a very cautious and serious expression making others not dare to act recklessly in front of him.


Ye Muyu finished recording the final account before looking up at him. Seeing his expression, she felt a slight tremor in her heart, but she still tried to remain calm and asked, "What's wrong?"


"I've never seen this method of calculation before." Chu Heng said, his gaze as sharp as a torch, fixed on her.


Ye Muyu had already anticipated that Chu Heng would ask about her use of mental arithmetic, so she quickly calmed down.


It wasn't that she didn't want to use an abacus,rather, she had never learned it in her past life, nor had she seen anything related to it, so she found it troublesome and didn't bother. Besides, from some miscellaneous records she had seen, there were people in ancient times both in the previous dynasty and in Great Chu, who were skilled in mental arithmetic.


So she wasn't too surprised.


"I've been practicing mental arithmetic since I started keeping accounts. Maybe I'm good at it..." Ye Muyu didn't lie. Even if she told him that she was from the future, would Chu Heng believe it?


If she told him that someone close to him was from the future, he would probably feel a sense of estrangement.


It was better to treat each other as contemporaries.


She wasn't lying either, she was indeed a science prodigy in her past life. Having acquired the ability of mental arithmetic in this life, although most of it was trained during her accounting sessions, some talent was still required.


"As for the method of calculation, I learned it from ancient books." Many things had traces to follow in ancient times and Ye Muyu wasn't lying.


"It's from the book 'Arithmetic Solutions.'"


"Haven't you read it?" Ye Muyu was a little surprised. This book was in the study, and the books in the study were all Chu Heng's.


Chu Heng carefully recalled the book and remembered that he had just bought it from a foreign merchant when he was reborn and was about to read it when Tang Rou knocked on the door.


Then, in a fit of anger, he stood up and the book fell to the ground.


After that, he seemed to have forgotten about the book's existence.


"Not yet." Chu Heng shook his head gently.


Seeing that he wasn't pretending, Ye Muyu was indeed surprised. "Then take a look at it when you get back tonight. There are similar calculation methods in that book and I came up with this based on my own understanding."


"If you want to learn this calculation method, I can teach you." Ye Muyu thought that since the imperial examinations nowadays also included arithmetic, if Chu Heng could learn the arithmetic methods of Arabic numerals and memorize the multiplication tables, learning mental arithmetic shouldn't be difficult.


Chu Heng reached out and rubbed Ye Muyu's cheek, making a sound of agreement, indicating that he was indeed willing to learn.


"Okay, just let me know if you need help." Ye Muyu's bright eyes were clean and clear as she finished speaking and then bent down to teach Chu Ziluo how to write in the account book.


Chu Heng watched the girl in front of him, a warm feeling flashing in his eyes. He didn't intend to dwell on the flaws in her words. Everyone had secrets in their hearts and there was no need to expose them. Mutual understanding was enough.
