Chapter 70 Bottleneck [Thanks to the leader for "not caring"]
Although Song Muer finally gave half of the peach to Song Ning'er, Song Ning'er still looked unhappy.
Li Nuo felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, he was like a biased parent who had two children but did not treat them equally.
It’s not like that. Between the two sisters, he does prefer Mu’er.
No matter if there is something delicious or fun, the first person he thinks of is definitely Mu'er.
Because Muer is well-behaved.
She would play with a fool without any disgust when they first met, would stand up for him when someone bullied him, and would say thank you sweetly after Li Nuo dressed her up.
Except for some deep-rooted corrupt ideas, all the preferences in this world are not without reason.
Being absolutely fair to the two sisters would be unfair to Mu'er.
So although Li Nuo felt embarrassed about being caught in the act, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He would just consider Ning'er's feelings and try to avoid her next time he gave Mu'er something good...
After Song Ning'er finished eating the peach, she ran away alone.
When Li Nuo was reading, Song Muer also sat beside him and read obediently. Occasionally, when she came across a word she didn't know, she would ask Li Nuo.
After these days of hard study, Li Nuo had worn out a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi". Except for some uncommon characters that still required looking up in the dictionary, he had already mastered most of the commonly used characters.
Song Muer was reading children's enlightenment books from Da Xia. Although women from Da Xia were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, some wealthy families, especially those of officials and dignitaries, still attached great importance to the education of their girls.
These girls have to learn literature, mathematics, music, calligraphy and painting since childhood. They don't have to be proficient in everything, but they have to have some knowledge of all.
After all, Daxia has a strict hierarchy, and high-ranking families will only marry high-ranking families. Even if the mistress of a wealthy family is not a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she cannot be illiterate...
Of course, this is just other people's superficial opinion.
Li Nuo turned his head to look at his wife who was polishing the sword in the yard, and felt that there was nothing wrong with being illiterate.
At least, when he was explaining math problems to Mu'er and her, the envy and admiration she often showed always made him secretly happy...
Mu'er rarely asked him questions today, so Li Nuo turned around and asked, "Didn't Mr. Chen assign you math homework today?"
Song Muer shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Chen took a leave of absence today and did not come to teach us."
In fact, Li Nuo used to have some prejudice against Mu'er's mathematics teacher.
He thought that Mr. Chen was the kind of old pedant who didn't know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and always gave children such difficult math problems. But when he saw him yesterday, he completely changed his opinion of the old man.
The old man not only had a profound knowledge of mathematics, but more importantly, at his age, he could still bow his head and ask for advice from a young man like him. His attitude was so humble and polite that people could not help but admire him...
Qingfeng Academy.
Mr. Chen put his hands behind his back, looked at the three gray-haired old men, twitched his lips and said, "Tsk tsk..., I have explained it in such detail, you three, you still don't understand it, right?"
Compared with the energetic Mr. Chen, the other three old men looked particularly haggard.
At your age, no one would be in high spirits after staying up for two nights in a row.
After a night of discussion, the three thought they had figured out the mystery.
What was unexpected was that the three great masters of mathematics in Daxia, after working together all night long, could not even understand the solutions of others.
I thought that Mr. Chen was just being mysterious, but after listening to his explanation today, I suddenly felt that my confusion was cleared up and all my doubts were resolved.
It is a shame to say that they have lived their whole lives and only now understand the subtleties of mathematics.
With their vision, it is not difficult to see that the method used by Chen to solve the problem was derived from "square field" and "Pythagorean theorem", but it is not limited to "square field" and "Pythagorean theorem", it is a completely new mathematical method.
If this method can be perfected, it will undoubtedly open up a new field of mathematics beyond the "Nine Numbers", and his status will be comparable to that of the predecessors of mathematics.
This time, the three of them were convinced.
The old man surnamed Lu cupped his hands and said sincerely, "I admit that I am far inferior to you in mathematics."
"I also admit it."
"You are very good at math."
The other two old men also expressed their opinions one after another. The four of them had been arguing for a lifetime, but they did not expect that Chen, at the age of sixty, could actually be enlightened. While they felt regretful, they had to admire him.
Mr. Chen stroked his beard and said, "It's rare that you have such awareness. If you still have any questions, please bring them all out. I will take the time to help you..."
…
The next morning, Li Nuo still slept until he woke up on his own. After having breakfast, he slowly went to the county government office.
He didn't sleep well last night.
Because my wife is not around.
She went to sleep with Mu'er last night, and Li Nuo slept alone in her room.
Li Nuo actually felt embarrassed for always letting her sleep on the floor.
He suggested sleeping on the floor, but she refused.
He didn't dare invite her to sleep with him.
The other party is obviously not satisfied with this marriage, and Li Nuo will not make things difficult for himself. He feels that the current mode of getting along is pretty good.
There were many unexpected cases in the county government today. Li Nuo was so busy that he didn't have time to go back for lunch at noon. He went to Pei Zhe's house for a meal. He thought he could add at least three days to his life, but until the court was dismissed in the afternoon, he didn't even get a single day added to his life.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but these days, he always felt that trying these ordinary cases had a smaller and smaller impact on his life span...
It shouldn't be an illusion.
Although he had not yet entered the door of Legalism, he was familiar with the Legalist classics and was well versed in Legalist practice.
This is how the Legalist disciples practice. At the beginning, solving some small cases can increase their practice, but the difficulty of practice will increase as time goes by.
Those trivial cases would have little effect after reaching the third level. If one wanted to quickly increase his cultivation or break through the bottleneck, he had to do something big.
Therefore, those big men of the Legalist school all like to exterminate entire families, and they are very fond of judging the powerful and wealthy...
In his case, it is very likely that he has reached a bottleneck.
This is a bad thing and a good thing.
If the increase in lifespan has a bottleneck just like cultivation, then before breaking through the bottleneck, it will be difficult for him to increase his lifespan by judging these small cases.
But once this bottleneck is broken through, he can officially step into the door of Legalism and have a little power to protect himself.
In addition, there was another question that confused Li Nuo.
Steward Wu once said that after practicing Legalism for one to two years at the shortest, or three to five years at the longest, one would be able to get a glimpse of the secrets, officially step into the door of Legalism, and become a Legalist disciple of the first level.
But all in all, he had only been formally practicing Legalism for half a month. How come he had encountered a bottleneck?
