Zhang Zi Chong looked at Xing Hui with disdain: "You don't repent! There's no hope!"
The students around looked at Xinghui with disdain.
A hint of pride flashed across Shen Zhiyuan's eyes.
Xinghui felt so ashamed that he was about to leave when a clear and ethereal voice sounded, "He didn't lie. I was the one who taught him that."
This voice is so beautiful! Everyone turned around subconsciously, thinking they would see a stunningly beautiful woman, but unexpectedly it was a dark, thin and ugly country girl.
What a pity for such a good voice!
Master Zhang also stopped and looked back subconsciously.
Then he saw his favorite student, Gu Zesen, approaching with a woman who was dressed in tattered clothes but whose extraordinary demeanor could not be concealed.
For people of his age, the first thing they look at when they judge someone is not their appearance, but their words and actions.
When Shen Zhiyuan saw Xingnong, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He was teased by her in the morning, and his anger has not subsided yet!
Xinghui's eyes lit up: "Sister!"
Gu Zesen and Xingnong came to Master Zhang, bowed respectfully, and then said respectfully: "Sir, this is Xinghui's sister. I grew up with them since I was a child. They are both kind and honest, and they are not people who lie. There must be some misunderstanding."
Master Zhang looked at Xing Nong after hearing this and said, "Excuse me, was it the young lady who taught Xing Hui how to do math?"
He was not a person who only believed in one side. He really liked Xinghui, after all, he was very motivated. He was disappointed just now because he liked her too much.
"yes."
"How do you prove it?"
"The teacher will ask the question."
To the students, these words sounded very arrogant!
It's so wild and crazy!
Some people rolled their eyes and looked disdainful. Where did she get such confidence
Some people shook their heads, saying that ignorance is truly fearless!
Some people feel disdainful and it's simply shameful!
None of them dared to say to the teacher, "Just let the teacher set the questions."
"Huh~" Someone recognized Xingnong, the person who appeared in the study early in the morning.
Master Zhang's eyes flickered.
Is this confidence, or is it immaturity
Master Zhang: "Now there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-six heads on top and ninety-eight legs on the bottom. Question: How many pheasants and rabbits are there?"
"Pheasants are twenty-three, rabbits are thirteen." Immediate reply.
The students were stunned for a moment. They were just reciting the questions in their minds without even thinking about them, but the other party solved it?!
Master Zhang's eyes flashed, and he looked at Shen Zhiyuan: "Is that right?"
Shen Zhiyuan: “…”
Master Zhang still had something unclear, so he said calmly, "That's right."
Shen Zhiyuan got anxious and kicked his good friend Zhang Zichong. Zhang Zichong hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, have you ever taught this girl? Aren't you the only one in the class who could do it this morning?"
Gu Zesen, "I didn't."
Master Zhang: "Now there is an object whose number is unknown. When you count three by three, there are two left. When you count five by five, there are three. When you count seven by seven, there are two left. How many of them are there?"
"Twenty-three." Immediate reply.
This is also the content of "Sun Zi Suanjing".
Students: “… .”
Right? They subconsciously looked at Master Zhang. They hadn't had time to understand the question, let alone calculate it.
"Why?"
"When there is a remainder of three-three, put it at one hundred and forty; when there is a remainder of five-five, put it at sixty-three; when there is a remainder of seven-seven, put it at thirty, and add them together. The result is two hundred and thirty-three. ... ... Subtract one hundred and five from the number above one hundred and sixty to get the result."
The solution to the problem, word for word.
Students: “… .”
Students who have just started learning arithmetic say that they can’t figure it out!
Didn't this girl have to think about it? With such a long process, she figured out the answer at lightning speed
Master Zhang looked at Shen Zhiyuan: "Do you understand? Repeat it again."
Shen Zhiyuan: “…”
Not far away, an old man sweeping the floor came over with a broom and made the number nine to Master Zhang.
Master Zhang's eyes lit up: "Now there is a round pavilion, three feet at the bottom, two feet at the top, and ten feet high. What is its area?"
"Five hundred and twenty-seven feet, seven-ninths of a foot."
…
The girl was dressed in tattered clothes, standing among a group of well-dressed students. She was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed, and extremely confident.
The whole person is lively and radiant, dazzling.
The students unconsciously took a few steps back with her as the center.
When a person is brilliant enough, others will feel ashamed and subconsciously step away, feeling that they are not worthy of standing with her.
Gu Zesen looked at such a dazzling girl and felt a little surprised. Sister Xingnong seemed different from before.
In the past, probably because of her background, she was very timid. Whenever she met him or even some scholars or people of unknown status, she didn't dare to raise her head. How could she have been so confident and dazzling
Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Young lady, you are very knowledgeable and talented!"
Xing Nong shook his head: "I just happened to have a look."
Not humble, not arrogant, not impatient, not boastful. Not bad, not bad, really good! Master Zhang nodded, then looked at Xinghui and bowed to apologize: "I misunderstood you just now. I'm really sorry!"
Xinghui quickly stepped aside and did not accept his greeting: "Sir, you are too kind!"
Master Zhang patted Xinghui on the shoulder, and then said to the students: "If you can do arithmetic like Miss Shen, you will definitely have no problem in the imperial examination."
Everyone: “…”
Do I need to tell you this, Master
Master Zhang said this and walked away.
As for Shen Zhiyuan, Master Zhang didn't even look at him, and it was unclear whether he had forgotten or for some other reason.
Shen Zhiyuan: “…”
Everyone looked at Xingnong with light in her eyes, but because of the difference between men and women and since they didn't know each other, they didn't dare to get close.
Unlike the other three kingdoms, the imperial examinations of Chu State did not involve rituals and music but arithmetic. Since the founding of the State of Chu, arithmetic was not tested in the imperial examinations. Although it was studied, they were all relatively simple and neither students nor teachers took it seriously.
The triennial exam was only a year away, but they suddenly announced that they would test arithmetic, and that they would test the contents of several mathematical classics. It was really too difficult. Everyone thought it was difficult.
A student quietly came to Xinghui, pulled Xinghui's sleeve, quietly stuffed a banknote into his hand, and put his arm around his shoulder affectionately: "Brother Shen, I'm Zhou Dongming. Remember to ask your sister about your math homework in the future. Come early the next day and tell me! My math homework will depend on you in the future! Please help me, I'll be very grateful!"
Xinghui's face flushed, and he quickly took his hand back, refusing to take it, saying, "No, no, I'll just ask for you."
The other students seemed to have noticed something and gathered around him: "Brother Hui, I'm He Zhenyu, please remember to take care of me in the future. Arithmetic is really too difficult! I'll rely on you in the future, don't worry, if you have any difficulties in the future, Brother Shen, just tell me..."
"Brother Shen, I am He Jincheng..."
... ..
Xinghui had always been the lowest and most invisible person in the academy, and this was the first time that she was treated so warmly by these superior students.
He was a little overwhelmed for a moment and didn't know how to respond. He only knew that he must not accept their money.
Shen Zhiyuan looked at Shen Xinghui who was surrounded by the crowd, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes!
Why does Shen Xinghui, that bastard whose father doesn't want him, deserve to be the center of attention
As a gifted child of destiny, he should be admired by everyone!
It’s all that trouble caused by that bastard Shen Xingnong!
He saw that Shen Xinghui could actually solve the new arithmetic problem, and was seen by Master Zhang. He came up with a plan to gain Master Zhang's favor, and then let him speak for him in front of the dean, and successfully become the dean's disciple.
Mr. Zhang's other identity is the vice-president of the academy, acting as the president's affairs.
He knew that the person who wanted to accept a disciple was not Master Zhang, but the legendary old dean.
The old dean is a member of the Kong family. He once served as the Minister of Works and was very obsessed with arithmetic.
The Kong family. Since the founding of the State of Chu, all the chief academic officers of the Imperial College have come from the Kong family. Their disciples are spread all over the world. They are truly a century-old family of scholars.
Now they've all been destroyed by this bastard.
He gave Xingnong a harsh look and strode away.
Wait!
Don’t think that just by being able to do a few arithmetic problems and gaining the favor of Master Zhang, you can pass the exam and turn your life around. If you offend someone you shouldn’t offend, you won’t have a good life in this life!
