Chapter 17 Mr. Kao
Last night was the most difficult night after Liu Yuan came here. The big stone in his heart made him breathless and lay on the collapse and tossed and turned all night.
Second, when he was just asleep in the morning, he was woken up by the maid's knock on the door. Liu Yuan, who was seriously sleepless, covered his head in the quilt and roared.
He decided that he must tidy up this girl, otherwise he would not sleep well in the future. When Liu Yuan, who was full of anger, opened the door, the maid outside the door was startled by his twisted face.
But it's still very quickly:
"Young Master, the master asked me to ask you to go to the hall as soon as possible, saying that the gentleman you invited was here."
After saying that, he looked weak and stood aside pitifully. Liu Yuan looked at the girl's little expression and could only let out a wail in his heart:
"How can I do this? Forget it. In view of my hard-working life, I can only let it go this time!"
Liu Yuan, who was full of constipation and had rabbit eyes, could only let a few maids mercy. A quarter of an hour later, a "sexy" brat hurriedly ran into the main hall of the Liu family.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Liu Yuan saw two middle-aged uncles sitting on his father's attack. One of them looked happy and contented, making the other look more restrained.
"Afu, come here and meet two gentlemen. These are my youngest sons. I will ask you and you to worry more in the future! Afu has come here and meet two gentlemen!"
As soon as Liu Chen saw Liu Yuan coming in, he immediately introduced the two people he had taken to him. It seemed that these two gentlemen were not so easy to find.
When Liu Yuan saw his father's appearance, he understood. He immediately walked to the two of them, saluted respectfully and said:
"Boy Liu Yuan has met two gentlemen!"
"Okay, don't call so early for now. I still need to consider whether to accept you or not."
The middle-aged man who seemed contented did not seem to have bought Liu Chen's account. It seems that it was very likely that Liu Chen was invited by helpless because of some factors.
And he didn't want to accept some naughty disciples. After all, it was a very cautious thing to accept disciples in this era, even though he was just a young disciple.
That's why he made such a decision, first checking Liu Yuan's qualifications, and then he decided whether to accept this apprentice.
Liu Yuan looked at a middle-aged man next to him helplessly. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man agreed with the words of the person next to him, and at the same time questioned Liu Yuan's age.
"Mr. Liu, your young man is too young. According to the rules of our dynasty over the years, it is usually a few years later to start enlightenment. Isn't it a bit too early?"
Liu Chen did not expect that none of the two gentlemen who had finally invited gave him face. It was because they both meant to shirk their face.
But he is not angry about this kind of person. Now he is more respectful to scholars. Today he wants to give these two people a bad face, so that his reputation as the Liu family in Zhuo County will be far away from the Han Dynasty.
But it's not a good reputation, so even if he is angry, he can only bear it. When Liu Yuan saw his father's breathing, the little flame in his heart rushed up.
Although Liu Yuan is not a talented person and a rich and knowledgeable person, he is still a graduate of a third-rate university, and he has been studying for more than ten years.
In the Han Dynasty, even if he didn't even allow elementary school, there was no such thing as a rule. However, he knew that unless he could defeat these two people in his knowledge, he would have to endure even if there was a big fire.
Don’t you think that Cao Cao was a domineering prince at the time, but his face turned green when Ni Heng scolded him. Cao Cao didn’t treat Ni Heng like anything, but just recommended him to Liu Biao again.
Although Lao Cao was absolutely unwilling to be kind to do this, it can be seen from this matter that even Cao Cao, who was holding the emperor, was still very polite to these so-called famous scholars.
Although the Liu family is a powerful man in Zhuo County, compared with Cao Cao when he was tyranted, he was simply an insignificant little man. What Cao Cao dared or was unwilling to do, so of course the Liu family could not do it!
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan decided to use his talents to let these two people know each other, but he must choose this talent well, so as not to show off and make him look like he is eyeing. That would be a big joke!
After a little thought, Liu Yuan decided to compare the calculation with them. He didn't dare to think about Gu Wen or something. It was lighting a lantern in the toilet to seek death!
As for other subjects, it is impossible. He can't come to a foreign language, maybe he thinks he is hysterical.
As for physics, chemistry, etc., such disciplines in this era do not seem to be very acceptable. As for geography, if the terrain and landforms are different from those in later generations, wouldn’t it be a matter of self-inflicted?
Therefore, math should be the safest subject, and compared with other subjects, math is definitely the most advantageous for him.
"Now there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, with forty-eight heads on top and one hundred and thirty-two feet on bottom. What are the pheasants and rabbits?"
The tender voice broke the awkward atmosphere in the hall. The two gentlemen on the side were waiting for Liu Chen to reply, but they didn't expect that the one who spoke first was the child of the Liu family.
They were originally full of displeasure and thought that the child was not well educated at all, but after they heard Liu Yuan’s question, their eyes lit up almost at the same time.
This is a very classic question about chickens and rabbits in the same cage. It first appeared in the calculation of the grandson in the fourth and fifth century. However, in order to increase the difficulty, Liu Yuan changed two numbers without authorization.
Don’t look at the second number you changed from a two-digit number to a three-digit number. In China, where Arabic numerals have not been introduced, it is quite difficult to calculate the three-digit number or above.
Although the Han Dynasty had begun to govern the country by Confucianism, mathematics was also an extremely important course for later generations, and children should come into contact with it from the beginning of elementary school.
These two men who claim to be talented also think that they are masters. Now they are questions from a child, which certainly aroused their competitive spirit.
The two of them immediately squatted on the ground regardless of their image to calculate. Liu Yuan just took a look at their calculation formula and felt that his head was extremely big.
One, two, three, and four on the ground. Although Chinese characters are very good, if used in mathematics, it will seem a bit too burdensome.
Looking at the two gentlemen who were squatting on the ground by a word from his son, Liu Chen couldn't help but chuckled, but he still had to give the face he deserved.
"Two gentlemen, don't mind it. Children who are young, ignorant, frivolous and arrogant, dare to give questions to teach the teacher. It's really not right!"
Liu Chen originally wanted to say a few polite words, but the middle-aged man who was just satisfied with his eyes and glared back at the words he said.
For a moment, there was no other sound in the Liu family hall except for the rustling sound calculated on the ground by the two of them!
