Chapter 150 It’s a blessing

"Oh." Dean Chen sighed again.

Ye Qianning walked to the table, opened the oil paper wrapped around the roast duck and pushed it in front of him: "Master, you haven't eaten for a whole day, right?"

"Oh, I don't have an appetite." Dean Chen pushed the roast duck aside: "What a pity for the mutual generation of yin and yang."

"Master, don't be unhappy. It's just a fruit. Wouldn't it be better to give it to the emperor so that we can have some peace?" Although Ye Qianning really wanted to give his master another one, he was afraid of causing trouble.

After a while, she used the Yin-Yang principle to refine the elixir and gave a bottle to her master.

"I can have peace of mind after eating it. It would have been better if Master had just broken it into pieces." Dean Chen thought that if it was crushed, it would have no value and the little girl could also eat it.

Ye Qianning understood what he meant: "Even if Master crushed it at that time, I couldn't eat it. If I really ate it, the Emperor would definitely hate Master."

"Hold the grudge if you want. I'm already over 80 years old. I can only live for a few more years."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, Master, may you live a long life." Ye Qianning immediately spat a few times on the ground, which was unlucky.

Dean Chen finally showed a smile on his face, but he was still upset when he thought about the emperor getting a bargain. The imperial family has a very strong possessiveness. No matter how precious something is, as long as they want it, they will do whatever it takes to get it.

"Master, don't be angry. Come and eat something."

Dean Chen still has no appetite.

"Why don't I teach Master a little bit about arithmetic?"

"What is arithmetic?"

"It's about the calculation method. Master Song's calculation is not bad, but it's rather rigid. I have a set of calculations that are fast and accurate." Ye Qianning felt that if arithmetic could be passed down, it would be a blessing.

Dean Chen's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'm still curious."

"What? Is that calculation called arithmetic?" Old Gu poked his head in from outside the door.

Ye Qianning had long discovered that Mr. Gu was following her. At such an age, he was still trying to eavesdrop.

"Why haven't you come down the mountain yet?" Dean Chen asked.

"You are so good, Chen Rentian. When this little girl didn't exist, you looked forward to my coming to the academy every day. Now that you have a little disciple, you are in a hurry to send her away?" Old Gu walked in with great dissatisfaction.

"You're not very careful with your words. You should stay out of some things."

"It was an accident last time. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the little girl in the future." Mr. Gu was quite embarrassed when he mentioned this.

Dean Chen was very skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, I can swear." Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Old Gu immediately held up three fingers and said, "I, Gu Chen, swear to heaven that if you mention the little girl's academic achievements to outsiders, I will not have a good end, and neither will my descendants. They will never have a daughter for several generations..."

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I believe you." Seeing that his master was waiting for him to finish swearing, Ye Qianning couldn't help but interrupt.

The oath was too harsh, and the entire Gu family was involved.

"Make him swear to finish it, otherwise the master won't believe him." Dean Chen knew that he had no manners when drinking, and if it weren't for the oath, he really wouldn't believe it.

"That's all I have to say. I..."

"Mr. Gu, there is really no need to do this. You can talk about academic matters. After all, academic matters benefit the people. Just don't mention my name. If others ask, Mr. Gu can say that it was my master who studied it." Ye Qianning interrupted again.

It's just a small thing, there's no need.

"Okay." Mr. Gu nodded.

Dean Chen was a little surprised: "Master, are you studying?"

"Of course, I'm young and if I tell others, people will think I'm a freak. I'm the master's disciple, so naturally all my achievements belong to the master." Ye Qianning didn't want to become famous at the age of six.
