I was the heir in ancient times

Chapter 61 Arithmetic┃Don't run away, I'm not done pretending yet!

Compared with being in the officialdom, Liu Wuchen prefers to read books alone in his room.

What I read is not idle books, but the books of sages, such as the Four Books and Five Classics. Liu Wuchen thinks that he can understand them on par with his old father, so he likes to pursue other knowledge on weekdays, from the Book of Changes, the Eight Diagrams, the Nine Zhang Shushu, Shui Jing Zhu, Shi Jing, Wen Xin Diao Long and other unknown areas are the goals of his exploration.

Among them, counting is the most difficult. Liu Wuchen, a subset of the Book of Songs, can write stereotyped articles at his fingertips. He can tell ancient and modern anecdotes with his mouth, but he alone has a hard time with counting. He loves and hates it.

He likes to discuss a topic with the leaders of other aristocratic families in private, discussing it for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, and finally solving the problem. No one can understand this kind of joy.

It's a pity that Liu Wuchen had no choice but to put aside the problem at hand and go to such a lifeless imperial city with no academic atmosphere at the order of the old father. What he wanted to teach was a group of mud legs with no family background!

Liu Wuchen was so wronged that he wished he could skip class that day, but when he thought of his old father's repeated orders, the future of the entire Liu family, and his poor eldest daughter, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and teach, but how good the teaching is? It's not up to him to decide. Naturally, a stupid person can't learn anything well, so he only disciplines him!

So Liu Wuchen prepared a few questions, vowing to let these newly appointed princes who coveted his own knowledge know how good he is, and also know their stupidity, and went there early the next day to sit in the upper study and wait.

At first, it was all right before all the people arrived, but these princes had no rules. Seeing that he didn't have any teacher-student etiquette, when he taught the students from the side branches of his family, those students were always half a quarter earlier than his teacher. bell!When you see yourself, you have to stand up and say hello to everyone!

Prince, what about prince?You've only been a prince for a few days?It's such a big shelf!

Liu Wuchen was so angry that he vomited blood in his heart, but he knew that he could not walk away, so he took a deep breath and distributed the papers he prepared to all the princes. He must kill their prestige and let them know how much he weighs. !

As for the few children who were late, Liu Wuchen didn't pay much attention to them.

From his point of view, the few little princes who arrived later might not even know how to hold a pen, so how can they write down the great principles of the Analects of Confucius and the doctrine of the mean?To be able to write down his name, he counted these few small passes.

Liu Wuchen sat at his table and took a sip of tea, gently placed the pointer in his hand on the table, looked contemptuously at the surroundings, and really couldn't understand why the old father would help such a family to become the Nine-Five Supreme.

Even if you are looking for someone to take the top position, it should be someone from the family. You need to be smart. Those reckless people who only know how to fight, can they know how to govern the country?In the end, doesn't it depend on their family to stabilize the world?

Thinking of this, Liu Wuchen sighed, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard again, feeling really sad that he had fallen into such a situation, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly found that the appearance sitting under his nose was pretty but lacked The little prince with one front tooth is writing furiously!

Liu Wuchen didn't even think about it, so he went down with a whip, hit Gu Baozhen on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Zhuzi! An Neng is wasting pen and ink!"

Gu Xiaoqi's writing was just at the moment when he was devoted, how did he know that a whip from the sky would slap his shoulders!

Gu Xiaoqi was unprepared, and immediately called out, staring at Taifu Liu with big eyes in disbelief, the sockets of which were wet and flushed.

The commotion here was too great, and it directly disturbed all the princes of the Gu family who were writing papers, not to mention Bo Yanliang who was sitting in the first row next to Gu Xiaoqi.

Bo Xiaolang immediately stood up, pinching Liu Wuchen's pointer, afraid that this person would do it again, and said loudly: "Why did the Tai Tuo come here?!"

Taifu Liu was trembling with anger, and said: "Sir, teaching students is a matter of course. Why do you stop it?! Respect the teacher and respect the way, is this how you respect the teacher and the way?!" It seems The son of Mr. Bo Yan is no different.

Gu Baozhen always remembers the battle between himself and Bo Yanliang and Zhitong in Daoliang City. It was a joyous battle, but it brought endless troubles to the adults.

Now my father is still coaxing and holding Liu Gong, and the third brother on his side is impulsive and irritable, and Bo Yanliang seems to be restraining his anger. He must not cry, don't add fuel to the flames, so he Clutching the thin and cold sleeves, he shook his head, took a deep breath, and said to Taifu Liu, "Excuse me, Taifu, what's wrong with me?"

Liu Wuchen was so proud, he tapped Gu Xiaoqi's test paper with the pointer that was loosened by Bo Yanliang, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't know how to write, don't write indiscriminately. The sentences of a sage can actually allow you to mess around. Drawing? If you don’t understand, just say that you don’t understand. If you want to draw, you might as well just go out, I can’t tolerate a student like you who doesn’t obey the rules here!”

Gu Xiaoqi held back his tears, and sent his paper up, saying: "Why did you conclude that Xiaoqi is making up nonsense? Xiaoqi knows that ordinary people can't buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Why should I buy such precious things?" What about random drawings?"

Seeing that the little prince dared to argue, Liu Wuchen immediately said: "It's really insulting! A mistake is a mistake! What are you still arguing about?!" As he spoke, he pulled Gu Xiaoqi's paper and pointed to the ball on it A bunch of ugly words, just about to preach again, but suddenly saw that all the answers written on it were correct, the words stuck in his throat, he couldn't move up and down, his face was red and his chest was heaving.

Liu Wuchen took a deep look at the little prince, and thought to himself that this must be a coincidence. The five-year-old child in their family can recite more than the Analects of the Mean. It is nothing if the dictation is correct.

But when Liu Wuchen saw the last arithmetic problem in the paper, the process of solving the problem on this paper was like a ghost drawing a few strokes, and finally he got the correct answer directly. Liu Wuchen couldn't bear it anymore, he concluded that the little prince must have cheated !

Liu Wuchen clicked on the last question, and asked the little prince in a cold voice, "Did you figure this out yourself?"

Gu Xiaoqi nodded, looking very cute, anyone who saw him would think that he would come up to kiss and hug him, but Liu Wuchen didn't.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqi's answer, Liu Wuchen laughed outright, and said, "Absurd! I think you used a cheating method that I don't know about. Otherwise, how could you come up with the correct answer in such a mess? You don't know anything about the process. , you admit it yourself? Or let me search?!"

Gu Baozhen was speechless towards this teacher, why did you accuse me of cheating when I used a problem-solving method that you had never seen before? !It's obvious that you don't know much, okay?

Furthermore, Gu Xiaoqi thought that Taifu Liu saw that although his writing was ugly, but it was all correct answers, he could apologize to himself, but he didn't even think about apologizing. Call him cheating!

Gu Xiaoqi pursed her lips, and was about to say, 'If you search, you can search, if you can find a cheating note, I have your last name'!But before he opened his mouth, there were several figures approaching him from behind, and each shadow fell on him. An extremely cold voice came from the top of his head, saying:

"I'll see who dares to search for Xiaoqi." It was the third brother's voice.

Gu Xiaoqi is sitting on the stool, a short and short one, just need to look up, you can see the third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother who are coming from their respective positions and standing behind him, completely unconditionally protecting him.

Gu Xiaoqi hurriedly held the third brother's hands, his hands were small, he could only hold two of them, and whispered, "Third brother, don't be impulsive."

Gu Wen smiled: "I'm never impulsive, I just want Taifu Liu to give me an explanation, my Xiao Qi can't be beaten for nothing, and being wronged is cheating, right?"

Gu Lao Wu angrily echoed: "Yes! Yes! Bring me the test paper!"

Liu Wuchen was intimidated by the third prince. This third prince was different from the other princes. He looked like an adult and stood taller than him. Even though he didn't want to show his timidity, he still felt a twinge in his heart when he was watched by those dangerous eyes. Suddenly, sweat broke out in his hands, and the paper was directly snatched away by the bandit-like Fifth Prince!

Liu Wuchen's legs started to feel weak, and he always felt that he was about to be beaten in the next second, but where would a student beat his teacher? !This is really unheard of!

With that bit of certainty, Liu Wuchen continued to stand on the spot sullenly, and said, "You can't even understand."

Lao Wu really can’t read it. He is literate. He was taught by Mr. Bo several times when he was a child and asked to recite the Analects of Confucius, but he has long since forgotten it all these years. Now he just reads the scroll and reads it through. Feeling that although Xiaoqi's writing is ugly, it should be correct, so he handed the paper to the fourth and said, "Fourth, take a look."

Gu Yu'an took the paper, glanced over Xiao Qi's answer with his eyes, then shook the paper seemingly calmly, and said, "Excuse me, Grand Tutor, is Xiao Qi's dictation wrong?"

Liu Wuchen pursed his lips, and said for a long time, "Even if it's true, it's written in a disorderly manner."

Gu Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, this guy is obviously a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, even if the whole world says he is wrong, he is definitely the type who will never admit his mistakes and apologize.

Perhaps it is the literati's nobility that made him behave like this, but why should I pay for his nobility?

Little Gu Baozhen waved his hand and said to his brothers: "Fourth brother, third brother, fifth brother, don't do this, I think Taifu Liu just wants to know how to solve my last problem, he can't, no I'll teach him if he can, it's okay."

Liu Wuchen is really a mouthful of old blood and almost spit out, he thought to himself that I need you, a five-year-old child, to teach, that is really a joke in the world!

But Liu Wuchen held back, he wanted to see how round the little prince was, so he took out a blank piece of paper from his desk, put it in front of Gu Xiaoqi who was still sitting there, and said, "Okay, since you If you say you are right, then explain to us your thinking of solving the problem, every step must be clear, otherwise I will directly report to His Majesty, I can't teach this lesson!"

Gu Xiaoqi dipped his brush in ink and began to write down the process of solving the problem on the paper. While writing, he explained: "This is how I think about it. First, suppose there is a rabbit in a circle and a chicken in a triangle, then the circle plus a triangle That is 35, a rabbit has four legs, a circle equals four times a circle, a chicken has two legs, then a chicken’s foot is twice a triangle, four circles plus two triangles equals 94, and then calculate how many triangles a circle equals , Put it into the second formula, look, the circle and the triangle are all out, the rabbit is twelve, the chicken is 23."

Since there are still foreign countries in this world, Gu Xiaoqi doesn't want to directly use x and y as yuan, so as to avoid unnecessary questions and troubles in the future.After all, he is still a little country boy who just entered the city from the countryside.

Liu Wuchen listened casually at first, but the more he listened to it, the more he found it unbelievable. What circles and triangles did not follow the correct train of thought at all!But this little prince has indeed calculated it. Although this kind of process is different, it cannot be said to be wrong.

Liu Wuchen was speechless for a while, and planned to expose it, so he said symbolically: "Since you did it right, then it's right, it should be Mr. Bo Yan who taught you, I just didn't think of it for a while. Yan this person, well, the others continue to work on the questions, don't stand here anymore."

Gu Xiaoqi: Damn you, will you die if you apologize? !

Gu Xiaoqi looked at Liu Wuchen with unconvinced eyes. Liu Wuchen himself was very embarrassed. Being looked at by such eyes, his temper also came up for a while. He is a dignified family of the Liu family. More than 100 years ago, his ancestors were famous!This Gu family has just become the emperor, who do they look down on after knowing such a question or two from others? !

Liu Wuchen cleared his throat, and said directly: "I see that the little prince is in danger, and as a teacher, I also feel that this paper is too simple for the seventh prince. Why don't you ask me a new arithmetic problem, if His Royal Highness answers correctly, Then the teacher doesn't care whether His Highness the Seventh is late or not, if he gets the wrong answer, he will always stand up in class from now on, what does His Highness think?"

"Of course it's very good." Very good!I, Gu Xiaoqi, will never be ashamed of all the time-traveling seniors!

"Okay! Please listen to the question." Liu Wuchen said with a smile, "Today there is one rooster worth five dollars; one hen mother worth three dollars; ?”

This question comes from the "Suanjing", Liu Wuchen had to answer it, and it took a lot of thinking to figure it out. He even bought a hundred chickens and came back to do the calculations again and again.

And Liu Wuchen is very sure that Bao Yan, who is regarded as a military adviser, will definitely not be able to answer this question!Such a difficult problem, even his old father can't get it all right, it takes a lot of energy to keep deducing it, so how can Bao Yan, who is also from a lowly background, understand?

Liu Wuchen expected that there was no solution to this problem, and there were not many people in the world who could solve it in an instant, let alone the little child in front of him?

Therefore, even when His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince began to make his ghost-like formula on the paper without thinking, Liu Wuchen just watched coldly, watching the little prince write a full page, occasionally biting the tip of the pen, At this time, Liu Wuchen immediately smiled and shook his head, thinking that this little prince really doesn't know how to write.

But before he could finish his smile, the little prince shook off his pen and said to him with a smile: "Forget it, although it is a bit more difficult than the previous one, but it's okay. There are four answers in total. Do you want to check it again?"

This question is indeed more complicated than the previous one, and you can use indeterminate equations.

As Gu Xiaoqi said, he actively handed his paper full of formulas to Liu Wuchen. Liu Wuchen took it angrily, and quickly turned his attention to the answer, only to see that the answer that the boy solved was actually better than him. The old father co-deduces another kind!

Liu Wuchen couldn't believe it and started to deduce it. From the results, he calculated all three answers over and over again, and found that they were correct!

This weird and unorthodox problem-solving method is simply magical!

"How could you be right?! It's impossible!" Liu Wuchen can't accept the setting that a five-year-old boy is better than himself. This is simply destroying the spiritual pride he depends on for survival. His son is not as good as a five-year-old child, so what kind of shit is he himself? !

"How is it impossible, Taifu Liu, how are you different from those gamblers who go to gamble and lose all their fortunes? When you say it's impossible, you think it's really impossible? Stop deceiving yourself and others. Apologize to my younger brother, and he is not only the younger brother of the Gu family, but also the prince of the new dynasty, I dare not touch him, where do you have the power to beat him?"

As Gu Laosan said, he walked to the table next to the podium, lazily picked up the pointer that Liu Wuchen had placed on the table, and then slowly and rhythmically hit his palm.

When was Liu Wuchen, an old man in his fifties, bullied by such juniors?

For a moment, his head was in a daze, and the process of solving the problem in his hand was instantly squeezed into a ball by him, wrinkled in the palm of his hand, and said: "It's ridiculous! It can't be taught!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, but Gu Xiaoqi stood up and said, "It's not good for Taifu Liu to just leave like this?" Don't run, I haven't finished pretending yet!

Liu Wuchen stopped in his tracks, turned his head to stare at Gu Xiaoqi, and said, "What does His Royal Highness want?"

Gu Xiaoqi tilted his little head, and said: "It is Xiaoqi's honor to ask questions for Mr. Qi, since Mr. Qi answered all the questions correctly, Mr. Qi should be a student who is qualified to be Mr. Not enough, I also want to test and teach you, if you can answer my questions correctly, then His Highness will allow you to be my teacher."

This kind of challenge was obviously intended to make things difficult for him, but Liu Wuchen couldn't get off the horse. If he left now and spread the word, wouldn't everyone say that Liu Wuchen was afraid of a five-year-old child? !

"Okay, what advice does His Royal Highness have to offer?"

What Gu Xiaoqi wanted was this sentence, he grinned, the smile without front teeth was much cuter than the third brother: "Please look, sir, I have two squares here."

Gu Xiaoqi quickly searched for the writing brushes of his brothers and Bo Yanliang, and took two more from the podium, a total of eight, and arranged them in two squares. square.

Liu Wuchen frowned, not knowing what the Seventh Prince was up to.

"His Royal Highness Qi put up these two squares to test Liu's question?"

Gu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Well, Mister can only move two of the pens in these two squares to make them into a square, then Xiaoqi will admit that Mister is extremely talented, unparalleled in the world, and the most intelligent in the world." people!"

——This is a sharp turn of my brain from what I saw in this world. If you really figure it out, you bad old man, let Fifth Brother perform and eat the table on the spot!

Liu Wuchen had never heard of such a weird problem, and after looking at it for a while, he found that this problem was almost unsolvable.

Seeing His Highness the Seventh Prince's confidence, if he said that there was no solution to this problem, and His Highness Seventh solved it again, then he would be the laughing stock of the entire capital that afternoon!

Liu Wuchen already knew that he shouldn't come to teach, what kind of country folks are these who bully their teachers and destroy their ancestors?

Unwilling to admit defeat, he stiffened his neck and said, "This question is very difficult, and I will give you the answer tomorrow."

Gu Xiaoqi is easy to speak: "Okay."

However, Gu Yu'an said indifferently: "It turns out that the son of the famous Liu Gong is nothing more than that. Liu Taifu went back here, could it be that he wanted to teach Liu Gong?"

Liu Wuchen said angrily: "You guys are simply unreasonable! Can't I think about it for a while?"

"Xiaoqi, I think Liu Taifu may just not be proficient in arithmetic, but he is still very insightful about the collection of classics and history. Why don't you just tell him the answer directly, so that Liu Taifu won't be able to solve it no matter what when he goes back, and he won't be able to eat and swallow at night. Not being able to sleep, being sick from being suppressed is not good, Mr. Liu is just such an only son." The little boy Bo Yanliang said fairly.

Before Gu Xiaoqi opened his mouth, he heard the fourth brother say again: "But my Xiaoqi seems to be very calculating, so it seems that Mrs. Liu is not suitable."

"I heard that Mr. Dong, the former master of the Dong family, had a personal student named Dong Futu. His knowledge is not inferior to Mr. Dong's. He is also proficient in languages ​​of various countries, and he has a lot of research in arithmetic. It's a pity...no one recommends it. , Dong’s family is down and out, the whole family is in prison, and committed a serious crime..." Bo Yanliang said quietly.

Hearing these yin and yang words, Liu Wuchen pointed at the group of future princes with trembling lips, and said: "Since you appreciate that Dong Futu so much, why don't you invite him out! I want to see how he can compare to me?! "

After all, Liu Wuchen really walked away this time.

And the Gu family brothers who left the teacher in anger, except for Gu Xiaoqi, have no sense of crisis at all!

Gu Xiaoqi swallowed, and asked Bo Yanliang anxiously: "I'll make a question as soon as I make it, why did you get mad at him?"

"Fourth brother! What if the old man asks? Am I causing trouble again?" Gu Xiaoqi scratched his head, but his shoulder hurt badly again, and the two intertwined. He was so terrified that he didn't know what to do.

In the next second, the fourth brother squatted down and held his face in both hands, touched his eyes with his thumb, and said, "Silly Qiqi, don't cry, we have a sense of proportion, it's fine."

"Really? You won't embarrass dad, will you?"

"Well, it's okay." After Gu Yu'an finished speaking, he glanced at Bo Yanliang who was completely on their side, or on Xiao Qi's side, and said, "I think that Mr. Dong will be very suitable for Qi seven."

Little friend Bo was not afraid of the fourth prince's probing eyes, he went straight up and said, "There will be no trouble, on the contrary, everything is just right, very natural."

Tears were still hanging on Gu Xiaoqi's face: "What are you talking about?"

Bo Yanliang was helpless: "...I said, Xiao Qi, you are so smart."

Gu Xiaoqi: "I feel like you're talking ironically..."

"No, sincerely." After Bo Yanliang finished speaking, he looked at the two squares on the table made with brushes. He really couldn't figure out how to make the two squares into one by only moving two brushes, " By the way, how to solve this?"

"That's right! Well, little seven dog, tell me quickly, let Fifth Brother go out and show off! Lie to other people!" The fifth brother Gu Yan'an was also extremely curious.

While talking, even the sixth son silently looked over from the corner, eager to know the answer.

"Haha." Gu Xiaoqi just wanted to show off, leaning into the fourth brother's arms, and said playfully, "Secret."

The author has something to say: In order to slap the face and pretend to be cool, so this is the amount of two chapters!So there is probably no update at [-] o'clock in the evening~ Chirp Chirp Chirp!

In the last chapter, everyone was so professional. At first glance, I thought this was some kind of devil comment area. It was all about doing math problems hahaha~ It’s so cute!

In short, the first time pretending to be coercive was very successful. Except for Mr. Liu, the rest of the Liu family are all pig teammates. They are very easy to bully, so don’t worry~

Then, the last sharp turn of the brain meridian was watched on Douyin. Can you know how to do it without searching for the answer?Anyway, I don’t know hahahaha~

Then because I just remembered that there is a bug in Simplified and Traditional (the big brother in the comment area tweeted tweeted), so instead of operating the answer according to Douyin’s show, I changed it to directly destroying the first one and leaving only one square~
