Faced with this obvious situation of running out of energy, Zhang Shou beckoned to Ah Liu behind him. Seeing Ah Liu coming over with the horse carrying the book box without saying anything, he smiled and said, "Go over there and give everyone a book."
Seeing a young follower beside Zhang Shou easily take down a large bookcase from a horse with one hand and then walk towards them, almost everyone immediately perked up. Those who were sitting stood up, those who were leaning against the wall straightened their backs, and some people cleared their throats vigorously, preparing to say the lines that had not been used before.
However, when Ah Liu walked up to them, before they could even speak, he opened the box expressionlessly and began handing out books to everyone. Everyone was stunned. Some took the books stiffly, while others wanted to refuse them forcefully, but in the end, Ah Liu stuffed the books directly into their lapels. His movements were so swift that no one could resist.
After distributing all the books, Ah Liu glanced at the book box and called out to Zhang Shou, "Master, there are still three more books."
"Then you can keep it for now." Zhang Shou agreed, and waited for Ah Liu to come over and help him before he dismounted and walked forward.
"Since you all admire me, I will give each of you a copy of my new book. Please go back and study it carefully. If you can do all the exercises at the back of each book, you can truly say with confidence that you have made some progress in mathematics."
After saying this, he said sincerely: "The way of mathematics is broad and profound, so my teacher once told me that his greatest pride in life is not the unprecedented seven top scorers in the imperial examination, nor is it being a role model with many students all over the world, but being proficient in mathematics. So, it is better to do than to say a thousand words here!"
"The teacher really hopes that those of you who are proficient in mathematics can carry forward his knowledge!"
In the courtyard inside the gate of the Ge Mansion, Ge Yong glanced at his old friend Qi Jingshan who was standing beside him in deep thought, and suddenly he cursed angrily: "This stinky boy, he always uses my name to deceive people. When he comes in later, I will definitely teach him a lesson! It’s good to fool those guys outside with ulterior motives, but this boy also fooled me, I’m so angry!"
The first time he boasted to Qi Jingshan that Zhang Shou came to see him as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and he also boasted to the old man Qi that Zhang Shou could deal with those noble children and would definitely be able to deal with these guys who were making noises outside the door, Zhang Shou just waved his sleeves and left...
When Zhang Shou came back for the second time, he argued to Old Man Qi that people must have come prepared this time and would definitely give those guys outside the door a hard time. But Zhang Shou actually acted like he was passing by again and left with Zhu Ying!
The third time he used a ruthless trick, which resulted in giving one copy of those books signed by Ge Yong to each person!
This was the first time he had encountered such a daring disciple in all his years as a teacher!
It was given away for free, and the book given away was Grand Tutor Ge's book. What was expressed was Grand Tutor Ge's earnest hope. Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
After saying those very sincere words, Zhang Shou bowed politely to everyone.
"According to the teacher's original intention, he naturally wanted to give a set of six books to everyone who liked mathematics. Unfortunately, the teacher was short of money, and even the printing of the books was voluntarily helped by his disciples and grandchildren, so this book was not published until a few days ago."
