The question-and-answer session that had been planned in advance was not used at all, and the class ended immediately - because when Zhang Shou asked if anyone wanted to ask questions before the get out of class ended, there was a complete silence - to be honest, facing this situation, the Third Prince was more disappointed than anyone else.
Although he had a hard time following Zhang Shou's calculations, there were many astronomy experts who were recruited by his father today. But he didn't expect that those candidates would flee in panic. After Zhang Shou announced the end of the get out of class and he did not object, many of those who came with special invitations left after paying their respects, just like those candidates.
Although the Third Prince did not think that everyone had to cling to him, the Crown Prince, or behave well, this evasive attitude was obviously a bit wrong. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and in the end he couldn't help but come up with a guess.
Could it be that… they also didn’t understand what the teacher said, and they were afraid that when they came to see him, they would be unable to answer and become embarrassed when he asked questions? But didn’t they also learn the arithmetic? Even if the arithmetic they learned was different from what he was exposed to now, after practicing for more than ten years or even decades, would the difference really be that big
The Third Prince was feeling conflicted when he suddenly heard the voice of Master Yue from behind him.
"It is said that listening to a lecture from you is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Zhang's class today not only covers social affairs, farming, and knowledge, but it really gave me a lot of benefits. However, those calculations are too profound. I think eight out of ten people in the lecture hall didn't understand them. It's normal to think about it, because I am also confused by those specific calculations."
The Third Prince was immediately impressed by the calmness of Master Yue. He nodded and said, "Every profession has its specialties. Mr. Yue is not a mathematics major. It is normal for him to not understand some of the professional formulas and algorithms. Actually..."
The young prince smiled shyly and said, "I only understood half of those steps."
After hearing the Third Prince admit that he only understood half of it, Meng Xueshi and Xiao Shanzhang and the others managed to keep a calm face. Especially Meng Xueshi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, regretted why he didn't find an excuse to take a leave of absence due to illness or other reasons... To be able to understand half of it was simply a great ability, okay!
But just when they were wondering whether they should tell the truth like Yue Shanzhang, so that the Third Prince would have some good feelings for them, they heard a voice interrupting them: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhang, and all the lecturers, something just happened, and I thought I should come over to tell you."
When Mr. Song saw that a lot of people were looking at him, he couldn't help but lower his head quickly, but he just ignored the expressions of many people who were relieved because of his interruption. He quickly explained the scene of Guan Qiu's scolding just now, and then quickly raised his head to glance at the third prince and Zhang Shou, and habitually omitted other people, and then he coughed unnaturally.
"Now that 'villain' couldn't stand Guan Qiu's words and ran away, and his companions also left in a hurry, but there are still a few other old gentlemen and their students who agree with what Guan Qiu said that knowledge is power, so they want to come over to thank Master Zhang."
