Chapter 162 Singing the Numbers Song
Chapter 162 Singing the Numbers Song
Seeing that they couldn't sit still, Zheng Sisi thought about the formula table she wrote yesterday and asked, "Have you learned housekeeping in the mansion?"
Several people nodded. It seemed that the family attached great importance to them. Some who were not valued had no one to teach them these things, just like the original owner Xie Yunmei, who knew nothing about the affairs of the mansion.
Zheng Sisi continued to ask: "Do you know anything about arithmetic?"
Zheng Zhimin said: "My mother asked me to learn how to be a housekeeper. She would show me the account book every month. As long as it was not complicated, I would be able to do it."
Li Ziyan also nodded.
He Qianqian said: "I also learn housekeeping. When I have nothing to do, I go to my grandfather's study to ask for advice. I have studied a little bit about arithmetic."
Zheng Sisi said: "Since everyone has learned housekeeping and knows arithmetic, I will teach you some knowledge that my master taught me."
Then Zheng Sisi took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket. On the paper were written traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals.
Zheng Sisi patiently explained to the students until they all understood. Then she taught them to sing a number song to strengthen their familiarity with numbers.
When they heard that it was singing, everyone became more alert and forgot how sleepy they were from riding in the carriage.
Zheng Sisi sang in a clear and sweet voice: "1 is like a brush writing, 2 is like a duck swimming, 3 is like an ear listening, 4 is like a small flag fluttering in the wind, 5 is like a scale weighing things, 6 is like a whistle blowing, 7 is like a hoe working, 8 is like a gourd holding wine, 9 is like a whistle held upside down, 0 is like an egg that is round and round."
After Zheng Sisi finished singing, several girls looked at her with starry eyes.
He Qianqian said: "Sister Sisi, your singing voice is so beautiful."
Zheng Zhimin said: "Sister Sisi, the song you sang is so vivid. I didn't know how to write it at first, but when you sang it, I thought of the things you sang about, and I learned how to write it."
Li Ziyan also said: "Yes, I also think it is easier to remember and write when sung this way."
Zheng Sisi suppressed her tail that was about to rise up and said proudly, "Then do you want to learn to sing?"
The three of them said in unison: "Yes!"
Zheng Sisi said, "Okay, I'll teach you one sentence and you guys learn it."
The three of them sat up straight: "Okay!"
"1 writes like a brush."
"1 writes like a brush."
"2 like ducks love to swim."
"2 pictures of ducks loving to swim."
"........."
"........."
The girls learned very seriously and sang beautifully. Perhaps because there were no elders to discipline and remind them, the little girls let their nature run wild.
After teaching twice, Zheng Sisi changed her method. While teaching, she gestured in the air with her hands and wrote the words to be sung. The three of them followed suit and gestured in the air with their hands.
There were also three people sitting in the carriage in front, Sheng Zhen, Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu.
The three heard a beautiful digital song coming from the carriage behind. Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but praise: "Wow, my cousin is really amazing. She can become the focus wherever she goes, and the digital song she sings is also beautiful!"
Zhong Ruiyu said: "We have to learn quickly too. We can't be outdone by them."
Sheng Zhen said, "You finally hit the point. If you are outdone by those girls, your old man will break your legs."
Zhong Ruiyu thought about that scene, shook his body and said, "Hurry up and learn."
Then the sound of singing came from the first carriage as well.
The guards, servants, maids and maids who accompanied them were forced to learn. After listening to it several times, they could sing it no matter whether they could write it or not or what it meant.
With the help of singing, I don’t care so much about the time I spend on the road.
When the car stopped, Captain Liu came to report that they had arrived at the inn and would get off to have lunch before leaving.
A few people were surprised to find that time passed so quickly.
Sheng Zhen's personal bodyguards Qingfeng and Qingmu had followed him to many places and were more familiar with the arrangements on the road. The two of them went to the inn first to arrange meals.
By the time the masters got off the car to tidy up and went to the toilet and came back, most of the dishes were served.
