"Dashu, you seem to be in much better spirits now that you don't have to study." The teacher joked.
"Of course. I wouldn't know how much happier I'd be if I didn't study. I'd just go out for a stroll every day, pet birds, play chess, and read storybooks..."
Zhao Dashu paused, the storybook...what did he say?
He doesn't watch anything serious.
His eyes were vague and he looked around.
The teacher was very upset and started talking nonsense again.
"I heard from Lei Zi that you recently got a beautiful bird?"
"Yes, it's really beautiful. Master, please come in quickly. This bird and I have a connection. It landed on my shoulder when it was coming down the mountain.
It’s the same now, it won’t fly away even if it’s not tied up.”
"It seems to be a smart bird. It knows how to find a safe home for itself."
"Of course not!"
"Master, look, isn't this bird pretty?"
"It's beautiful, the colors are so bright, Dashu, you are indeed a blessed person, this bird is obviously a precious species.
He didn't know how precious a life was, but such a beautiful bird was definitely not cheap. Many rich masters in the city liked to play with birds, and good birds were quite expensive.
Zhao Dashu said proudly, "Yes, someone offered me ten taels to buy it, but I didn't sell it. I also plan to look around for nice birds and buy two more for it to keep company."
He didn't know the mother of the 䭹, he planned to buy a wife for it, no, buy two!
"Just say it's valuable. Take good care of it. This bird is really good."
The teacher was a little envious. He was about the same age as Zhao Dashu, but the other one was enjoying a comfortable retirement life, while he was still working so hard to prepare for the exams.
Well, even if I pass the imperial examination and plan to take the imperial examination, and still want to become an official, it seems that I will never have a rest in this life.
When he retires, he probably won't be able to walk anymore, so he'll just walk his bird, and the bird will walk him.
"Yes, Master, please sit inside."
I was originally planning to buy some nice cats and dogs, but my daughter said that she might get pregnant at any time, and it would be inappropriate to keep these things as they are not good for pregnant women.
For the sake of the Zhao family's reputation, he had to restrain himself.
Tea and snacks were already prepared in the main hall. After the wife sat down, she looked around the neatly tidied yard and sighed, "You live a very comfortable life. You're the envy of others."
Zhao Dashu chuckled and poured tea for the teacher. "Master, you're joking. I'm just wasting my time. How's our Leizi Academy doing?"
The teacher paused while drinking tea. Lei Zi was studying very hard in the academy, but he was alone, coming and going alone.
It was fine at first, but after he talked about how great Xiaoyu was, everyone's opinion of him changed, and they thought he was too supportive of women.
Lei Zi is also a stubborn person, and he is always unwilling to give in to others. Currently, he is the only one who interacts with him in the academy.
Luckily they were in the same class, so if they sat together, ate together and so on, it was not so bad.
"Lei Zi studies very hard, so I sit with him and we encourage each other to learn."
"So the teacher and he sit at the same table. I feel relieved now."
Zhao Dashu smacked his lips, wondering how it felt to have his teacher become his classmate.
"Lei Zi is making rapid progress, especially in mathematics. I often need to consult him."
Mathematics, Zhao Dashu knows it.
"He wasn't good at math at first, and it was Xiaoyu who taught him. Didn't the teacher say some people are naturally sensitive to certain things and have great talents? Our Xiaoyu is like that. She's very talented in math."
The Master was stunned. Did the tree say the same thing? "Xiaoyu is giving Leizi special treatment?"
"Yes, but only mathematics is taught. Xiaoyu doesn't like other things."
My daughter hates memorizing and writing essays. She hates it absolutely.
So she couldn't teach Lei Zi about literature.
The Master found this a little hard to believe. Wasn't it said that men's thinking was superior to women's in every way? Wasn't it said that women found it difficult to achieve great things in mathematics?
Dashu and Leizi were not the type to lie. "Xiaoyu, how about you teach me two questions later?"
He really wanted to know how this girl taught him. The method Lei Zi taught him was clever, unique, and simple.
The mathematics teacher praised Lei Zi endlessly, treating him like a treasure and saying that he had a really strong talent in mathematics.
The teacher probably didn't hear a single word Xiao Lei said about what his wife taught him.
Zhao Xiaoyu had just brought in a plate of homemade mung bean cakes when she heard the teacher's words. She was stunned for a moment, "Master, do you have any questions?"
Is it to test her?
The Master was a little embarrassed, but he nodded. "Lei Zi said that you taught him mathematics, and some of his methods are quite clever. I was thinking... to ask for your advice."
Zhao Xiaoyu put down the plate and smiled, "Master, please forgive me for laughing. I just figured it out on my own and I don't know if it's appropriate."
The teacher pondered for a moment and then talked about a relatively complicated profit and loss problem that had been taught recently in the academy.
Zhao Xiaoyu thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Bring me some pen and ink."
"Master, please imagine that everything is the same... For example, if everyone gets three less, then the total number left over won't be the original number, but... That way, the remaining total will be easier to calculate..."
She used the method of hypothesis, with simple language and even some metaphors like farmers dividing things. After a few steps, the result became clear.
The Master's eyes widened as he listened. This line of thought... truly brilliant! It bypassed the tedious formulas and went straight to the core, significantly reducing the amount of calculations!
"Brilliant!" The Master couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration. "This method is great! Simple and easy to understand! Xiaoyu, did you really come up with this on your own?"
Zhao Xiaoyu nodded. "Well, when we used to divide things and calculate the harvest at home, it was easy to get confused when the numbers were large, so I thought about how to calculate faster and more accurately. I don't know if this is right or wrong, it's all based on my own ideas. If there are any mistakes, please point them out, Master."
