Chapter 125
After Linghu Ding heard this, he couldn't help but asked him hurriedly: "So, sir, your writing is so good, is it because you have learned this arithmetic?"
"It can be said that I can't say how good my articles are, but I dare say that few people can surpass me in arithmetic today. I think if my articles can still catch your eyes, the contribution to arithmetic will be indelible, or
Said it was crucial."
For a moment, Linghu Ding seemed to have opened a window in his head, and said excitedly: "Really? If that's true, that would be great. Since I was admitted as a scholar, I failed in the provincial examination five times in a row. I'm really ashamed.
.I never knew the reason. It turned out that I didn’t understand arithmetic after doing it for a long time.”
Fei Wutong said: "That's not right, sir. There are so many people in the world who have been named on the gold medal list, but few of them have ever learned arithmetic. What's more, no one has learned this weird arithmetic taught by Mr. Qiu. They
Aren’t you also on the gold list?”
Linghu Ding's eyes widened and he said: "You know nothing. If you don't know arithmetic, you may not be able to get a spot on the gold medal list, but if you know arithmetic, the probability of getting a spot on the gold medal list is much greater. For some people who have failed many times, this may not be a problem.
A new way to improve your talents, do you understand?"
Fei Wutong nodded and said with understanding: "It turns out that Mr. Wang means that knowing arithmetic can open your mind and write better articles, so that you can be named on the gold list and pass the exam."
"exactly."
Linghu Ding clasped his fists at Qiu Wuhen and said, "In that case, sir, how about I learn this arithmetic as your student?"
Qiu Wuhen didn't expect that he had managed to make Linghu Ding his student and learn arithmetic from him.
Qiu Wuhen himself did not believe that arithmetic could help improve the ability to write eight-legged essays. He was just talking nonsense before. Of course, mathematics can improve people's thinking and logical ability, and it is certain that it is helpful to some extent.
However, the impact on improving eight-legged essay writing ability is probably not as high as expected, so learning arithmetic may not necessarily improve it.
Therefore, Qiu Wuhen wanted to evade and said: "No, no, I'm really busy and I really don't have time to teach you. I'm just talking nonsense."
Unexpectedly, Linghu Ding bowed to the ground and said: "Mr. Qiu, I am willing to become your teacher, learn arithmetic, and also learn your essays. You don't need to teach me how to write eight-legged essays, you only need to write the essays
Come out and teach us how to do arithmetic at the same time. I believe that with a two-pronged approach, I will be able to break through the bottleneck and pass the provincial examination."
"I am now over 40 years old. If I don't win the imperial examination, I won't have much time to develop my ambitions. I don't have high expectations. It doesn't matter if I win the imperial examination, whether I am an official or not. Sir, you can fulfill this for me.
It’s a small wish, but of course you won’t let it go to waste. How about 2,000 yuan a month?”
Qiu Wuhen glanced at him and said, "To learn arithmetic, you have to pay 2,000 in literature fees, right?"
Linghu Ding didn't know why Qiu Wuhen deliberately emphasized this point, and immediately said: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. As for the model essay, sir, you can write one when you are happy, and we can just observe and learn. We mainly want to
Learn this arithmetic from your husband so that you can improve your writing skills."
Qiu Wuhen nodded and immediately asked Yao Gulu in his mind: "Did you hear that they want to learn arithmetic from me for two thousand yuan per month, is this okay?"
Yao Gulu did not show up and did not make any statement, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
Qiu Wuhen is quite proud. The medicine gourd should not object, because arithmetic is not his, it is learned by the host before time travel, and it belongs to the host's knowledge. There is no need to use his medicine gourd, and the medicine gourd naturally does not
will intervene.
I didn't expect that Qi Lao Ba Lao could actually make money from arithmetic, but then again, the reason why Linghu Ding was willing to pay to learn arithmetic from him was simply because he believed that he could write such a beautiful article. The reason was to master
He has learned a unique skill in arithmetic that others do not know, and believes that it is a key factor in improving his eight-legged essay writing, so he is willing to spend money and time to learn it. If it does not actually help him in his eight-part essay writing, he will not learn it.
.
So improving his eight-part essay is actually the key.
The key to improving your eight-part essay is to learn good articles. This is also the case in modern society. To improve your composition, of course you have to read good articles, learn other people's writing skills and methods, and even memorize large paragraphs.
Only then will I have something to write in my head when I pick up the pen. Although the previous excellent eight-part essay articles have been translated into volumes and many people have read and memorized them, including Linghu Ding, but it is precisely because of this that everyone has memorized the good articles.
, thus forming a routine.
The various routines in these articles are boring to the examiners. Naturally, they can't write anything that makes the examiners' eyes light up, so they must be ingenious and find new ways. This is why this article can be regarded as a masterpiece by Linghu Ding.
.
Most of the articles that can get titles on the gold list are novelties that can catch the examiner's attention and wake them up from their drowsy state. Only then will they become the winners and get titles on the gold list.
As long as these eight-part essays from later generations with titles on the gold list are given to Linghu Ding and others as model essays to observe and study, they will naturally be able to improve their eight-part essay writing skills. As for providing some sample materials, as long as Yaohulu is willing to help, there will be no problem.
So he said to Yao Hulu in his mind: "Brother Hulu, these people want to learn eight-legged essay writing from me in the future and want to provide some sample essays. Can you help me provide some sample essays to them at any time? Of course I won't charge a penny."
The medicine gourd shook twice, and two simple words came out: "Okay."
Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and said in his mind: "Thank you so much!"
With Yao Gulu's affirmative answer, Qiu Wuhen felt confident, and said to Linghu Ding and the others: "Since you are so sincere, fine, then I will accept you."
Fei Wudan and the others were a little overwhelmed when they saw Qiu Wuhen accepting their husband as their students, and said weakly: "We also want to learn from you, can we also become our teacher?"
Qiu Wuhen said: "No problem, but then again, I am only responsible for your arithmetic. As for your eight-part essay, I am not responsible. I have to learn it from your husband. But I will give you some from time to time.
I’ll let you experience the sample article. How much you can understand from it may depend on you. Of course, it also depends on your Mr. Linghu Ding’s guidance. I am not responsible for this.”
Qiu Wuhen explained this, but the medicinal gourd never appeared. Obviously it didn't object to doing this, which was good.
It turns out that you can fish in troubled waters and get through with entrainment.
I have to find a way to make extra money, otherwise it will never be enough to support such a big family with just Master Xing’s money.
The current money can barely guarantee that everyone has white rice to eat, a piece of meat for each meal, and basic food and clothing. As for his Jin Yiwei's salary, Yao Hulu said that he must complete the task before he can give it to himself as part of the reward. How?
Here, the medicine gourd has the final say.
Now that there was an additional way to make money, Qiu Wuhen was certainly happy.
Not to mention anything else, each of the five people now has 2,000 taels of silver, which adds up to 10,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to ten taels of silver. With this money, we can add two more dishes to the table and purchase some daily necessities.
The problem will not be a big one, and the basic life of the family can be solved. After all, there are ten people in a family, and the expenses are not small.
