Chapter 52 The Heart
Besides, Master Zhao hurriedly left Chengxintang just to verify the Pythagorean theorem mentioned by Ji Qingning.
Inside the room, Master Zhao looked at the servant to measure it and then recorded it in the booklet.
Outside the door, a servant came over and said, "Master Zhao, Chief Gu, please go to Old Master Zhang's place."
Master Zhao didn't pay attention to listening to the servant's words at all, and waved his hand and said, "I'm not available."
The servant stepped down.
Master Zhao asked someone to measure eight or nine rooms in a row, and the results measured were the same as those calculated, and even the calculation was more accurate.
Master Zhao sat in front of the chair, looking at the messy paper, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
The servant couldn't invite Master Zhao, so Chief Gu came in person. He stepped forward, but Master Zhao didn't even notice it. Chief Gu was extremely surprised, "What are you thinking so enchanting?"
Master Zhao was brought back to his senses and looked at Gu Shan and said, "Why are you here?"
Mr. Gu glanced at the desk and said, "A good seedling has come to the academy. Mr. Zhang thought that you have been in the academy for so long and have not accepted students. I want you to test it and see if you are qualified to be your student."
Master Zhao asked Chief Gu to sit down and speak, "You, the Chief, have not taken away a few students. Since you are a good seedling, why didn't you accept it yourself?"
Gu Shan sighed, "Do you think I don't want to? Mr. Zhang said that I would accept it, it's better for him to accept it yourself. Do you have to worry about it?"
Master Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What kind of outstanding student are you fighting for?"
Gu Shanchang smiled and said, "He is a junior who is very talented and not afraid of power and is quite brave. He just made Mr. Zhang admit defeat with a piece of chess piece. While he was happy, I knocked on an ancient painting and he didn't frown."
Everyone who is familiar with Mrs. Zhang knows that Mrs. Zhang cherishes the most of those calligraphy and painting books. It has been enough for half a year for anyone to get some ancient paintings from him.
It is rare for Mrs. Zhang to see that Mrs. Zhang is so happy. She tried to speak loudly, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would choose whatever he wanted. This was the first time.
Master Zhao was shocked. What kind of good seedlings made Old Mrs. Zhang appreciate it so much?
Old Mrs. Zhang thought of him, and Master Zhao was moved, but he did not agree to accepting students.
He couldn't stand Gu Shan's scrupulous and hard work so he agreed to come to the academy to teach two days a month. He taught Luxing Hall in the morning and Chengxin Hall in the afternoon. He didn't spend the night in the academy, and his old bones couldn't stand such running around.
After accepting students, either he often comes to the academy or the students often run to their house, which is a struggle for everyone.
Master Zhao smiled and said, "I appreciate Mr. Zhang's kindness, so I won't accept the students."
Refusal was expected, Master Zhao said, "Are you sure you will refuse directly if you don't have a test?"
Master Zhao laughed, "If I really want to accept students, I have a favorite candidate, but I am afraid there is nothing to teach them."
If you want to accept, you have to accept someone who suits you. Old Master Zhang is different from what he is good at. Old Master Zhang may not be as good as he wants.
Gu Shanchang was surprised, "There are some students in the academy that you can't teach?"
Master Zhao pulled Gu Shanchang to talk about the Pythagorean theorem. Gu Shanchang knew that if this was right, it would be of great use.
"What's the name of the student?" asked Gu Shanchang.
Although he didn't remember much of the students in the academy, it would be impossible for Master Zhao to doubt that he could not teach at all.
But he asked casually and was stunned by Master Zhao's question.
He seemed to have no idea what the student was called, but he looked very handsome, but since he was in Chengxin Hall, he was a student from the academy. He was competing with Wen Xuan and he could tell at a time.
It doesn't matter what the student is called, and he doesn't care about his family background. What's important is how far the student is studying arithmetic. He is going to find a few difficult questions to try his depth.
Well, Master Zhao was all about finding problems, but he didn't know that Old Master Zhang asked him to accept what he liked. When he found out, his intestines almost regretted it.
Seeing that Master Zhao was unintentional, Gu Shanchang stopped persuading him and said goodbye without disturbing him.
He went to Old Mrs. Zhang's bamboo house.
Old Mrs. Zhang was drinking tea in the yard, and the breeze was gentle and it was so comfortable.
Chief Gu walked in and smiled, "Mr. Zhang has been in a better mood every day. Could it be that there is a big joy in the mansion?"
But I haven't heard of it, let alone Old Master Zhang is the person the emperor respects the most, he rarely sees him in such a good mood.
Gu Shanchang sat down and said, "Old Zhao has no intention of accepting students. If he wants to accept them, he will accept them. I will accept them for the young master of the Ji family."
When the old lady Zhang heard this, she smiled and said, "I gave it to Mr. Zhao, but I don't plan to give it to you."
Mr. Gu didn't understand, "We are still in-laws. When will you have such a good relationship with Mr. Zhao?"
Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Just because I am a relative, I will not let you receive it because I am the same as yours."
What is this a fallacy?
Why didn't the in-laws give in?
"I'm a loss when I'm a relative with you," said Gu Shan.
Two people who were over 50 years old were fighting for the students. If they hadn't had a relative and could not have quit, they would have broken up on the spot.
Outside the bamboo house, Prince Maoguo stood there with his eyes gloomy and blue veins on his back, almost crushing the folding fan in his hand.
What a young master of the Ji family!
The reputation of Princess Tan Xi was destroyed on the street and gave Prince Zhao's mansion an excuse to refuse the Empress Dowager's marriage!
He thought that Old Master Zhang would accept him as a student and would come to show his respect every few days, but Old Master Zhang didn't let go. He was fine. After just a few days in the academy, Old Master Zhang and Chief Gu rushed to accept him!
He is the prince of the Duke of Maoguo's mansion, and what is worse than the son of a seventh-rank official who came out of a poor mountain valley?!
If Old Mrs. Zhang really accepts him as a student, then Prince Zhao's mansion will definitely promise Princess Tan Xi to him, and then he will have no hope!
He must not let such a thing happen!
Prince Mao Guo was still holding a brocade box in his hand, gritted his teeth and turned around and left.
When he returned to the school, he rudely threw the brocade box on the table. The brocade box was thrown away and the painting inside rolled out.
The Second Young Master Sun of the Ministry of Revenue was helping Prince Maoguo clean the school, but was startled by the sound of throwing the brocade box and said, "Why are you back so soon?"
As the follower of Prince Mao’s Prince, the second young master of Sun naturally knew that Prince Mao’s Prince wanted Mr. Zhang to accept him as a student, because he was the queen mother’s nephew and grandson, Mr. Zhang had to sell some face.
When I go there normally, the Prince of Maoguo has to stay at least a cup of tea. Although I am not happy every time I come back, I have not been so angry.
