Where did the other ten taels of silver go?

Everyone put aside the guqin matters for the time being, followed Su Cai'er's words, and began to make calculations in their hearts.

"Everyone took out 100 taels, and then everyone took back 10 taels."

"That is to say, each person only paid 90 taels."

"The three of them added up, and they paid out 270 taels of silver. Adding the 20 taels of silver that was left behind, this is indeed 290 taels!"

"But they took out a total of 300 taels. Where did the 10 taels of silver go?"

"Is it possible that the store owner ordered the ten taels without knowing it?"

"That's not right either!"

"The store obviously brought out fifty taels."

"He took out 50 taels, which can be divided back to the buyer. How come he only gave out 290 taels?"

The people present were talking to each other, and they were all thinking about where the lost ten taels of silver had gone.

Su Cai'er asked: "Miss Cai, you are so talented, but do you know where these ten taels of silver went?"

Cai Pingle himself is also calculating.

However, as she continued to calculate, she became more and more confused.

It was obviously three hundred taels, why did it suddenly become 290 taels?

Where are those ten taels of silver?

Is this arithmetic?

She had clearly read all the arithmetic books compiled by Yong Xibo and studied them specially.

But she tried hard and couldn't find the answer in the book!

Cai Pingle murmured: "Ten taels of silver...and the other ten taels of silver, where did they go?"

She couldn't understand, and her face gradually turned ferocious.

Su Cai'er raised her chin slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Cai is so talented, why can't she be found?"

"The money in the mansion is no joke."

"If you lose ten taels today, you can pay it back from your own pocket."

"I'll lose another hundred taels tomorrow, and I'll have to pay it back out of my own pocket."

"Then even if my mother's family has a mountain of gold and silver, I'm afraid it won't be enough to move, right?"

Su Cai'er let out an angry "tsk".

"This is really a pity."

Cai Pingle's face turned red and he was so ashamed that he couldn't speak.

However, the more anxious I am, the less I can figure it out.

Where did those ten taels of silver go?

She murmured anxiously: "Why is there only ten taels less of this silver?"

Yan Yulan stood aside and frowned.

After she watched Cai Pingle turn around and leave, she quickly pestered Su Caier and asked.

"Cai'er, where did those ten taels of silver go?"

Many people also gathered around and asked Su Cai'er.

Cai Pingle was "inadvertently" pushed a few times and was pushed to the outside of the circle.

Instead, Su Cai'er was surrounded by everyone, and everyone was chasing her to ask where the ten taels of silver were lost.

Su Cai'er rolled her big eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, these ten taels of silver were not lost."

"Because there were three people, each of whom paid more than ninety taels of silver."

"As for how much money each person paid, well..."

Su Cai'er said mischievously: "My husband said that there is an answer in the arithmetic book he wrote."

Cai Pingle, who was outside the crowd, subconsciously replied: "You lied!"

"Obviously there is no answer!"

She has read Yong Xibo's arithmetic book. If there is one, why can't she remember it?

Many people who have read Yong Xibo's arithmetic book out of curiosity are also trying to recall it.

There is indeed no content in this regard.

Su Cai'er said confidently: "My husband said yes, of course it is."

"But I'm afraid Miss Cai is only busy studying her piano skills and doesn't pay much attention to other knowledge."

"So I can't even find the missing ten taels of silver."

In fact, Cai Pingle was not the only one who couldn't find where he was.

Most of the people present could not find where they were.

Occasionally, they have some bright ideas in their minds, but upon further calculation, they feel that something is not right.

After all this time, I still don't know where the ten taels of silver went.

The talented women and ladies present here who are famous in the capital are all looking at Su Cai'er with curiosity.

However, after Su Cai'er finished speaking, she walked directly in front of the eldest princess and said that she wanted to leave early.

The reason is that the little girl in her family is still in her infancy and cannot be away from her mother for too long.

The eldest princess, who was also thinking but couldn't help herself, looked at Su Cai'er with a dull look: "Ah, Mrs. Yong Xibo wants to leave first?"

"this......"

She looked at the people who were looking at Su Cai'er eagerly, coughed slightly, and whispered: "I haven't found those ten taels of silver yet."

Mrs. Shouning Hou listened and glanced at Su Cai'er quietly.

If it weren't for the eldest princess next to her, she wouldn't have been too presumptuous.

Otherwise, her eyes would have turned upside down.

What are a group of people doing here worrying about ten taels of silver when they have nothing to do?

If you lose ten taels of silver, just lose it.

Do all the wealthy families still lack these ten taels of silver?

As for everyone looking stumped?

Has she been assimilated by Mrs. Yongxibo and become stingy?

Su Cai'er ignored the strange aura emanating from Mrs. Shouning Hou next to her, and said with a respectful smile: "I will ask my husband about the ten taels of silver when I go back."

"How about I explain it to Her Royal Highness the Princess alone at that time?"

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.

Although Mrs. Yong Xibo was not of a very good background, her hospitality was not inferior to others at all.

And his temperament seems to be quite good.

"Okay, then you go back first."

Princess Yongkang asked her personal maid to send Su Cai'er out in person.

Su Cai'er left calmly.

He didn’t wave his sleeves or take away the clouds, but he took away the hearts of everyone present.

The people in the room watched her leaving eagerly, and they were all still wondering where the ten taels of silver had gone.

At the banquet that followed, everyone was in no mood.

After all, if I don't understand these ten taels of silver, it's like a fish bone stuck in my throat.

Cai Pingle thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

After saying something to Mrs. Hou Ninghou, she left hastily and returned to the courtyard where she lived.

He turned out the arithmetic book written by Zhao Ce and murmured: "It is written in the book..."

"Mrs. Yongxibo knows it from the looks of it. She already knows the result."

"I'm so much more talented than her, it's impossible not to find someone else!"

"Where did those ten taels of silver go?"

After turning over and over, it was almost getting dark.

The maid lit the lamp, looked at her young lady who had been studying hard, and whispered, "Miss, it's getting dark."
