Zhou Shuren smiled, "I don't need you to worry about me. You'd better take care of yourself. I advise you not to be too arrogant, otherwise you will be taught a lesson sooner or later."
Gu Ren was very angry. Now Zhou Shuren's status completely overwhelmed him. Zhou Shuren didn't even need to do it himself. As long as he showed it to others, countless people would do things for him. He endured it and said, "Your Excellency is right. I will remember it."
Zhou Shuren, "I don't think you will remember it."
He was waiting for Gu Ren to completely fail!
Gu Ren, “… .”
So he was really making things difficult for himself. Why did he provoke Zhou Shuren? He was the one who was angry.
Zhou Shuren knew that Yang Wen and Rongchuan were both fine, so he felt relieved. He retorted to Gu Ren again and felt particularly good. He shook his sleeves, turned around and got on the carriage. His movements were particularly cool, which made Gu Ren even angrier.
The emperor didn't know about Zhou Shuren until he woke up. He said to Eunuch Liu, "I think if you tell Zhou Shuren what Rongchuan did, he will want to beat Rongchuan up."
Eunuch Liu, "Lord Zhou doesn't dare."
The emperor smiled and said, "He is the best at killing people with borrowed knives."
He felt that Zhou Shuren would definitely come to add fuel to the fire!
Eunuch Liu, "... ..."
The fifth prince is also miserable, having two such fathers. Oh, yes, and there is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who died with his teeth clenched!
At Zhou's house, Zhou Shuren walked home briskly and met Chang Yi. Chang Yi had just arrived home and saw his second son holding a lot of books in his arms. He looked at the books and asked, "Where did you get so many foreign books?"
Chang Yi held it like a baby and said with a smile, "There are many foreign envoys staying in the new embassy. They brought many books with them. My son has been transferred to the embassy and has come into contact with them more. He found that what foreigners learn is different from what we learn. My son found it interesting and asked for advice humbly. They really taught him. My son found it interesting and borrowed their books to bring back."
Zhou Shuren picked up some mathematics books and some literary works. Zhou Shuren recalled carefully that it seemed that Huang Zongxi, a scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, believed that Western geometry originated from the Pythagorean theorem in the Zhoubi Suanjing.
Zhou Shuren admired himself for being able to remember what he had learned after traveling through time for so many years.
Chang Yi saw his father looking through the book carefully, "Dad, do you like it too?"
Zhou Shuren closed the book. No, he didn't like it. "Can you learn it?"
Chang Yi's eyes were particularly bright, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my son likes it, and he learns very quickly. The foreign envoys said that my son is very talented."
Zhou Shuren, “… .”
So Changyi didn't like literature, but liked science. He stroked his chin and asked Changyi to learn from the foreigners. He really found a new way. After learning well, Changyi's official career could really jump out of the Ministry of Rites slowly!
Chang Yi was a little nervous, "Dad, do you also think that your son is not doing his job properly? My son has not been neglecting his studies."
Recently at the embassy, he has been close to foreign envoys and has not been studying the Four Books and Five Classics, but he has also heard a lot of discussions.
Zhou Shuren, "No, I think your father is good, study hard."
Chang Yi grinned, "Dad, you looked carefully just now, so you must be able to understand it. Look at what your son said, you even made a curve chart, Dad must know a lot about these."
Zhou Shuren met his son's admiring gaze and said embarrassedly, "Your dad is really not very good at this. I have basically returned everything to the teacher. I can't remember much. My head hurts after reading too much. Although I am doing accounting in the Ministry of Revenue, pure arithmetic is easy!"
Zhou Shuren was struck by his son's burning gaze, and his mind heated up, "Yeah, I understand."
Chang Yi was very happy. The foreign envoy was polite to him because he had found out about his family background and wanted to get his words. He didn't mind the shallow teaching now. As he learned more, he might not tell him. He had confidence in his father. His father was so smart. "Dad, I don't know. Please teach me."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He seemed to have found trouble for himself, and he had to go on his knees, otherwise it would affect his image in the hearts of his sons. He is an almighty father! This character cannot be destroyed!
Chang Yi was so happy that he had to deliver the book back to the yard, so he walked ahead and didn't notice that his old man's steps had become heavy again.
Back at the main courtyard, Zhou Shuren looked hopeless, which scared Zhulan. Zhulan asked carefully, "But is there any bad news about Yang Wen?"
Zhou Shuren, "No, there is news about Yang Wen's ship. They are all safe and sound."
Zhulan held Amitabha in her mouth, then frowned, "Then why do you look like I'm going to die?"
Zhou Shuren slowly changed into his official uniform, then repeated what he had said to Changyi, "This is what happened."
Zhulan sneered, "It's what you deserve."
Who made Zhou Shuren admit that he had already wanted Changyi to find a foreigner to learn, but he just got carried away and did it himself!
Zhou Shuren covered his chest and said, "When I was so vulnerable, you still poured cold water on me. You don't love me anymore."
Zhulan, "Speak human language."
Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "I really can't give this to you!"
He really doesn't want to learn again. He is already so old, he would rather die than learn!
Zhulan: "... You don't want to learn, but I do?"
She is crazy. Wouldn’t it be nice to just draw, chat, play with children, and eat snacks and fruits every day
Zhou Shuren laughed, "You love me!"
Zhulan, "... No, you think too much. The ship of our love has capsized."
How long have they been in ancient times? Even though she has a better foundation than Zhou Shuren, she still has to review again!
Zhou Shuren tugged at his wife's sleeve, "We are also doing this for our son. You see, as his parents, we have to help him. He has talent and cannot be buried. You know, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. There is no guarantee that foreigners don't have some hidden tricks. And if a mathematician really emerges, he will be remembered in history, not only for our family, but also for the country."
Zhulan reached out and pinched Zhou Shuren. The words that followed were definitely just remembered by her. Zhou Shuren agreed on the spur of the moment!
However, Zhulan had an idea. She couldn't be an official. She felt that she could influence her future through Changyi. Learning math, physics and chemistry well and traveling around the world was fine. It was a pity that she didn't major in these subjects in college!
Zhulan frowned. Well, she had a lot to review. She had a heart attack. She was already an old lady. She took a deep breath and said, "It's a lifelong learning!"
Zhou Shuren felt relieved and smiled, "Come on!"
Zhulan opened her mouth and bit Zhou Shuren's face. Bah, come on! After hearing Zhou Shuren screaming in pain, she let go and said, "Don't block me tomorrow. Just go out like this. Also, find some more foreign books on mathematics. I'll take a look first. Yes, find some other books too. Ah, I have to learn foreign languages!"
It's crazy. There are really not many translated books nowadays. And the shit is that each country uses its own language. This is the key. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it!
Zhou Shuren had already run to the mirror and said, "You bit me too hard. I left a mark. Get out like this."
"How about going out like this?"
Zhou Shuren touched his face and said, "This seal my wife stamped must be taken out. How about I make it symmetrical and stamp one on the left side of my face?"
Zhulan: "... in terms of shamelessness, you win!"
