The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167: 565 Late Night Warmth (second update)_3

Prince An looked at the paper in his hand and said sheepishly, "I just glanced at it."

"No problem, go ahead and read it." Xiao Hen entered the house.

Prince An pointed next door, "Is it... like this every day?"

Xiao Hen hummed a confirmation, "When Jiaojiao isn’t here, he’s like this." Bathing is like going to battle.

Recalling how even in the next room he was disturbed to the point of a tingling scalp, Prince An could hardly imagine how Xiao Liulang managed every day.

Thinking this way, Xiao Liulang seemed to have it quite tough.

"By the way, what are all these?" Prince An asked, pointing at the stack of papers on the table.

"Arithmetics." Xiao Hen replied.

"Arith...metics?" Prince An furrowed his brows in confusion.

Xiao Hen glanced at the paper in his hand, "What you’re looking at is the ratio calculation."

Prince An’s expression turned even more perplexed, "Shouldn’t ratio calculation be done by the Circle-cutting Technique?"

He recognized the Circle-cutting Technique, clearly, this wasn’t it.

Xiao Hen explained, "This is another method."

Prince An was still puzzled, "With these strange patterns?"

Xiao Hen thought seriously for a moment, "Strictly speaking, they should be considered another form of writing."

Prince An asked, "Another kind? From beyond the Six States? The Turkic script?"

Xiao Hen replied, "No, the Turks use Jin Country’s script, with some differences, but generally the same."

The origin had to be traced back to the ancestors of the Turks and Jin Country. Back then, it wasn’t Jin Country, but a dynasty many eras prior, supposedly a part of what was the Turks, which later became a separate tribe.

But there are also accounts claiming the Turks were a part of that ancient dynasty of Jin Country, a version recorded in historical texts. However, history belongs to the victors, so who can say that the chroniclers of that old dynasty of Jin Country didn’t modify the annals?

Curiosity piqued, Prince An set aside his pride and began to seek knowledge from Xiao Hen.

Previously, he would have never been able to swallow his pride like this.

Tonight... Who knows what got into him tonight.

Xiao Hen was never one to hoard knowledge, willing to share all he knew with anyone who sincerely sought instruction.
