Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

On the second floor, Su Shi and Su Qin sat side by side at the table, with a stack of red paper in front of them.

These are all the answers that were handed in after the questions were answered. They have to look at them one by one and judge whether they are right or wrong.

"It's wrong again." Su Shi picked up a folding book, glanced at it, and casually tossed it aside.

"This one too." Su Qin shook her head. "You can't even tell the left from the right, what are you doing here?"

Both of them were somewhat uninterested.

Almost no one could answer the arithmetic problems.

The two of them already had a rule in mind: no matter who it was, if they couldn't answer the first question, they would deny it even if they guessed correctly in the second.

In any case, the right to interpret it lies with them.

At this moment, a maidservant brought in a red folding book and respectfully placed it on the table.

"My two elder sisters, here is another young master's answer sheet."

Su Shi picked it up casually and opened it.

Then she froze.

"What's wrong?" Su Qin leaned closer.

Su Shi didn't answer, but simply pushed the folding paper towards her.

Su Qin looked down and was also stunned.

Good handwriting.

The handwriting was slender and upright, as if carved by a knife and axe, yet it also exuded a lively charm.

Every stroke is incredibly sharp, every line is perfectly placed.

Lean but not withered, strong but not rigid, sharp yet retaining its integrity.

"This font..." Su Qin murmured, "So sharp."

Su Shi nodded, her eyes shining: "The handwriting is slender and firm, the strokes are swift and agile, and even in its slender parts it is full and rich. It is definitely the work of a master."

I have never seen such a font before.

The font is original and stands alone; it's amazing.

They had been learning calligraphy since childhood and had seen countless calligraphy models, but they had never seen this style before.

The spirit and charm conveyed between the lines are something that ordinary people cannot imitate.

Only then did the two remember to look up the answer.

Page 1, Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage: Six rabbits and nine chickens.

Su Shi did the math for a moment and nodded slightly: "That's right."

Page 2, Identify the characters: Su Shi on the left, Su Qin on the right.

Su Shi and Su Qin exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

This person actually got it right.

Su Shi picked up the folding book, turned to the cover, and saw the three words in the lower right corner: Xiang Ri Kui.

"Xiang Rikui," she murmured.

She was also shocked. This was the first time she had ever seen this font. It was definitely not an imitation or a copy, but his own style.

To be able to create one's own font, and to do so with such maturity and skill, demonstrates an unfathomable level of calligraphic mastery.

The two looked at each other again, their gazes now filled with respect, and Su Shi's eyes shone with admiration.

Even if Lin Feng answered incorrectly, she would still be willing to meet him just because of his handwriting.

Su Qin nodded, a smile appearing on her lips.

"Sister, I want to see what kind of person this Young Master Xiang is."

"It would be a real shame not to meet such a person."

"I fear my temples will already be gray."

"Regardless, such talent warrants a visit."

The two sisters, Su Shi and Su Qin, were filled with curiosity about this person who called himself "Xiang Ri Kui".

Just who is this person?

Is he an elderly, learned scholar, or a young, dashing gentleman?

That stunningly beautiful handwriting truly sparks the imagination.

Su Shi put down the red folding paper and instructed the maid beside her, "Go and inform Mama that the winner tonight is Young Master Xiang Ri Kui."

"Yes, Miss."

The maid responded and quickly ran out of the boudoir. She went to the railing on the second floor and whispered a few words in the madam's ear.

Upon hearing this, the madam's smile froze slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

In her original plan, she was to let at least a few people pass the test tonight, allowing them to advance to the next round and then extract a large sum of money from them.

Now that they've announced the winner directly, how are we supposed to continue this drama?

How can we earn money then?

But since the two girls had given her those instructions, she couldn't refuse them.

After all, those twins are her cash cow, so it's not good to go too far for them right now.

The madam hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "Alright."

The maid turned and left.

The madam, however, was in no hurry to announce the results.

She stood by the railing, smiling as she watched the guests downstairs scratching their heads as they answered the questions.

He waited until the incense stick had completely burned out and the last wisp of smoke had dissipated before clearing his throat and speaking in a loud voice:

"Gentlemen, time's up! The quiz is over!"

Everyone looked up and their eyes were all on her.

The madam waved the red folding paper in her hand and announced with a beaming smile: "Tonight's winner is—Young Master Xiang Rikui!"

Tonight, Young Master Xiang Rikui will have the opportunity to chat with Misses Su Shi and Su Qin for the duration of an incense stick burning!

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

"Why him?!"

"Exactly! We paid the money, why should he go up alone?"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Isn't this all rigged?"

The crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices, their emotions running high.

The madam, watching this scene, felt a sense of smug satisfaction.

The more excited these men are, the more it proves how charming these two girls are.

She waited until everyone had made a fuss for a while before raising her hand and pressing it down.

"Gentlemen, please calm down. This young master Xiang Rikui has answered both questions correctly."

How do we know if he answered correctly or not?

"Exactly! Isn't this all up to you?"

The madam remained calm and her smile persisted: "In that case, I'll have Young Master Xiang Rikui explain his thought process in answering the question."

If you all have a reasonable and well-founded argument, you will naturally be convinced.

how?"

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Fine! If he can convince me, I'll accept it!"

"Yes! Let him explain!"

The madam gave a wink to the maid beside her.

The maid understood and quickly ran downstairs to Lin Feng's private seat. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Feng handed her a piece of paper covered with writing.

The maid was taken aback, took the paper, turned around and ran back upstairs.

The madam took the paper, looked down at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She thought the person would come up and explain in person, but she didn't expect that he was prepared and had even written down the explanation.

She quickly scanned it and found it increasingly unbelievable. The solution was strange—simple and direct, yet surprisingly easy to understand.

The madam raised her head, cleared her throat, and read aloud:

"For the first problem of the chicken and rabbit problem, Young Master Xiang used the 'leg-cutting method'—assuming that all chickens and rabbits have two legs cut off at the same time, fifteen heads would be thirty legs."

......

Fifteen heads minus six rabbits leaves nine chickens.

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage.

"Gentlemen, why don't you calculate it yourselves and see if it's the right number?"

The crowd silently calculated that there were fifteen heads, six rabbits with twenty-four legs, and nine chickens with eighteen legs, totaling forty-two legs.

Someone suddenly realized, slapping their thigh and exclaiming, "Brilliant! How come I didn't think of that?"

"Yes, it's simple and clear, easy to understand."

"Alright, I concede defeat on the first question. You're amazing, Young Master!"

"I give up too!"
