Farmhouse Imperial Examination Road

Chapter 5 The Cheap Master
"The temple is Langlang, the stream is smooth, the tortoise and the crane dance together, the forty heads are raised, the crane legs are the tortoise legs, and the 110 is two snuggles. May I ask the Sha family, how is the tortoise and the crane?"

Su Liuyu's face was full of black lines. How did this ancient man ask a question in a polite way? Isn't it similar to a one-dimensional equation of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage?

"Shi'an, go and take out the calculation chips. Don't worry, do the calculations carefully, and tell me when you are sure." Shen Huaizhou kindly reminded.

Su Liuyu shook her head, she had already learned this kind of question in elementary school in her previous life.

"Turtle 24, Crane [-], sir?"

Almost as soon as the question was finished, Su Liuyu spoke the answer.

Shen Huaizhou was slightly surprised, and asked another question: "Using the rope to measure the well, if the rope is measured by three parts, the rope will be four feet longer, if the rope is folded four times, the rope will be one foot longer, the length of the rope, and the depth of the well? "

Equivalent relationship ah.

Su Liuyu nodded and replied, "The rope is 36 long, and the well is eight deep."

If the last question surprised Shen Huaizhou, then this question can be described as shock.

Originally, the first time I wanted to test whether Su Liuyu knew how to do math, I didn't expect that I didn't even have to blurt out the math, and the second question, even if he started to contact him, it took a long time to count. He has already given the answer, how can Shen Huaizhou not be shocked.

"What's your name? Who did you learn arithmetic from?" Shen Huaizhou took the initiative to speak, and couldn't help showing a little interest.

"The boy's name is Su Liuyu, and I figured out arithmetic by myself."

I can't say that I have studied it all my life.

"Such a great talent!"

Shen Huaizhou's handsome brows were slightly frowned, he searched for a moment, and then said: "Shi'an, bring me the accounts from last month."

Then he took it and handed it to Su Liuyu.

"This one is the accounts of Changbai Study last month, you should do the calculation."

This is a chance?

Su Liuyu immediately became happy, took it with a smile, and politely said: "Thank you, sir, for giving the boy a chance. Please wait a moment, and I will count it for you when I do the calculation."

"Don't be in a hurry, take it home and calculate it carefully, so as not to make any mistakes."

Take it home?
Not to mention that there are Liu Huiniang and others at home, but he said that he brought the book home for no reason. If people find out, there may be some mistakes.

After finally getting a chance to make money, how could Su Liuyu let an accident happen?
"Can you wait for a quarter of an hour, sir? No, half an hour, give me half an hour, and I will give you the answer."

"Half a quarter of an hour? Little brother, are you bragging? Our Changbai study has a wide variety of books, and there are credits and gifts. Even our husband spent three days carefully checking them."

Shi'an laughed, thinking that Su Liuyu knew a few math problems, so she was a little ignorant of what was right and what was wrong when she uttered such big words.

Shen Huaizhou was already curious about Su Liuyu, and had already thought of accepting him as an apprentice. Seeing what Su Liuyu said, he nodded immediately.

"Okay, just a quarter of an hour. I'll wait for you. Counting chips, pens and paper are on the table. Shi'an, make a cup of tea."

Su Liuyu wanted to say no, but time waited for no one, so she quickly sat down with the account book in her hands, opened the first page and began to read.

She has a photographic memory since she was a child. She is not only sensitive to numbers, but also can draw inferences from one instance. She was born as a top student in science. , of course.

In the room, the fragrance of tea overflowed, only the sound of Su Liuyu flipping through the papers.

Shen Huaizhou sized him up slightly from one side, his beautiful eyes showed more appreciation for talents.

He intends to accept Su Liuyu as his apprentice and teach him carefully.

Changbai Study is his property, but his job is as a teacher of Qinshan Academy. Qinshan is an official school, which accepts the children of nearby officials to study.

just
Shen Huaizhou took a sip of tea, the cool tea slightly suppressed the heaviness in his heart.

He came to Qinshan because of the secret letter last month, but he has been here for more than a month, but he has not seen the owner of the letter.

"Sir, I'm done."

So fast?
Shen Huaizhou looked at the tea leaves floating at the bottom of the teacup, it took only two cups of tea, and it was over?

He took the account with suspicion, but was attracted by the clear form.

The daily expenses and balances are arranged in a form that he has never seen before, which is not only detailed but also clear.

Although he was not born in mathematics, he has come into contact with many great figures in mathematics. It is the first time he has seen such clear and rigorous statistics.

What's more, the total win was exactly the same, even if it was him, it took three whole nights.

It would be a pity if such a great talent is let go and only becomes an accountant.

Among other things, even if he meets Shen Huaizhou today, he will definitely not let this pearl get dusty.

He closed the account and looked at Su Liuyu with admiration.

"My job is the teacher of Qinshan Academy. You are so smart. To be a mere accountant is really a waste of your talent. I intend to take you as an apprentice to teach me personally. If you want to, go home tonight and discuss it with your father." , How about coming directly to the academy to study tomorrow?"

Apprentice?

Su Liuyu said in embarrassment: "Mister's kindness is appreciated, but I want to make money as soon as possible to reduce the burden on the family."

"You idiot, do you know who my husband is? Even today, if you want to join him, you have to see if he likes you. Now that your husband likes you, you still want to make money!"

so arrogant?
Su Liuyu had a look of disbelief.

"Shi'an, talk too much." Shen Huaizhou scolded, turned to look at Su Liuyu, and patiently explained: "You don't have to refuse now, you can go home and discuss it with your family. I have been here for the past few days, waiting for your reply."

"To tell you the truth, sir, my elder brother is smarter than me, and he specializes in studying. According to my father, even a senior three yuan is possible, but I can barely read a few words. If I go to the academy to study, it will cost me a lot of money." It must be huge, the family is already struggling to raise a brother, if I ask again."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Huaizhou understood, and admired Su Liuyu a little more.

"You will be taught by me yourself, Shuxiu will be exempted. You only need to go to the academy because I live there, and you don't have to worry about the pen and ink. The Changbai study is our master and apprentice, and you still need your pen and ink."

The conditions are so good?
If he refuses again, this cheap master will go back on his word later, then it will be over.

Su Liuyu quickly kowtowed on the ground.

"Master is here, please accept the disciples."

Shen Huaizhou accepted her gift, but he couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you so anxious, I won't run away. I will let Shi'an wait for you here at Maoshi tomorrow, and go to the academy with you."

"to make."

I didn't expect this opportunity to come to the town this time. It seems that no matter where you go, knowledge is the most important thing, which makes Su Liuyu determined to study hard.

Lin Xiuyun naturally didn't know about the trip to the town today, but seeing that Su Liuyu's complexion improved a lot, she asked her to go out more recently.

This is exactly what Su Liuyu wanted.
