Queen Ma took Han Jingyun's hand and looked around twice. He clicked his tongue and said in admiration: "You are so handsome and smart. It's rare that you can outperform everyone in the court in arithmetic. Who did you learn arithmetic from? Did you learn it from a famous teacher?"
Han Jingyun shook his head and replied honestly: "No, I learned it from my elder brother." After speaking, he glanced at Han Du.
"Really? Then why is his arithmetic not as good as yours?" Queen Ma glanced at Han Du with obvious disbelief.
Lao Zhu looked at Han Du suspiciously, he had more thoughts in his mind. If it was really Han Du who taught Han Jingyun arithmetic, then Han Du should be more powerful than Han Jingyun. However, Han Du was clearly in the court and said that he could not calculate it, and then suggested that Han Jingyun be allowed into the palace.
If Han Du was better at arithmetic than Han Jingyun, he could definitely figure out the answer by himself. Why should Han Jingyun be allowed into the palace? Han Du acted so unreasonably. Is there any purpose in this that I don't know about?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became darker.
Han Jingyun didn't notice that the atmosphere had changed. He nodded and said, "It's true. The books I use to study mathematics were all given to me by my eldest brother."
Han Du saw Lao Zhu's look in his eyes, and quickly explained with a smile: "The conscience of heaven and earth, Wei Chen only gave her mathematics books, but the other Wei Chen didn't even say a word. She learned mathematics from beginning to end. Tai, just rely on herself.”
"Mathematics? Is this a book for learning arithmetic?" Lao Zhu's face suddenly became much better when he saw that Han Du didn't seem to be telling lies.
Seeing Han Du smiling and nodding, Lao Zhu couldn't help but frown and asked: "Then since they are all the same books, why are you not as good at studying as your sister?"
Han Du suddenly choked on Lao Zhu's words, as if a burst of humiliation was stuck in his throat.
But Lao Zhu didn't care whether Han Du was humiliated or not, he opened his eyes wide and waited for Han Du to give him an explanation.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. This is mathematics."
"How's it going?" Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Du intently.
Han Du coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then continued: "It mainly depends on your own talent. If you are a talented person, you will naturally be like a fish in water; if you are a weak person, it will be difficult to achieve success."
Although Han Du gave an explanation, Lao Zhu still asked in confusion: "But the books you use to learn mathematics are all the same, so the gap will be so big?"
"Your Majesty, the Analects of Confucius has been read by all the scholars in the world, but isn't Zhu Xi the only one who can explain it?" Han Du asked Lao Zhu in return.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded with some understanding and said with a smile: "What you said is quite right."
He glanced at Han Jingyun and turned back to ask Han Du, "Is Han Jingyun very talented?"
Very high!
It was so high that even Han Du could not imagine it. Han Du had never thought that someone could teach himself all the mathematics courses from elementary school to middle school by relying on books and writing and drawing alone. And you can also draw inferences from one instance and use it in chemistry. According to Han Du's estimation, Han Jingyun is probably only a piece of paper away from college mathematics.
Han Du thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how tall Wei Chen is. Let's put it this way. Anyway, in Wei Chen's eyes, he is quite tall."
Lao Zhu thought about it and felt that Han Du was right. There is simply no way to talk about talent in detail. Just like today, there are children from almost all over the country who are called child prodigies because of their talents. Some prodigies can eventually get into the gold medal list, or even be the top scorer in high school, but some prodigies can't even pass the exam.
Han Jingyun can solve problems that others have been unable to solve for hundreds of years, which at least means that she has to surpass the sages who have lived for hundreds of years.
Queen Ma's mind was much simpler than that of Lao Zhu. Seeing that Han Jingyun was very restrained, she told her some interesting things in the palace. Soon Han Jingyun felt relieved and nervous, and could chat with Queen Ma smoothly.
The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became. Finally, Queen Ma gave Han Jingyun a jade plaque. She said that she also liked arithmetic and wanted to ask Han Jingyun for advice. With the jade medal, Han Jingyun could come to the palace to find her at any time.
Because he likes arithmetic, he gave Han Jingyun a jade medal... This rhetoric is simply impeccable. Even Han Du didn't notice anything wrong here.
Han Jingyun blushed and took the jade medal, feeling very excited that Queen Ma asked her for arithmetic advice.
Han Du didn't stay long. When Queen Ma and Han Jingyun were done talking, Han Du got up and left with his girl.
Lao Zhu naturally thoughtfully ordered the guards to help Han Du move the Golden Hanoi Tower back.
When Han Du and Han Jingyun returned to Mingjingzhai, they happened to see their father and mother standing at the door, looking constantly.
Han De and Liu were not fools. It was impossible for them not to know that someone in the palace was looking for Han Jingyun. Even if they were told that it was the emperor who had sent an order to find Han Jingyun, the two of them could not help but worry. It was just because both of them were helpless that they had to wait helplessly at the door of their home.
Seeing Han Du and Han Jingyun come back together, Han De and Han De were finally able to put down their worries.
Han De took two quick steps, stepped forward and asked in a face-to-face manner: "Jingyun, are you okay? What does the emperor want to see you for?"
"That's right, Du'er and you guys came back together. Do you know what happened?" Ms. Liu asked Han Du.
Seeing his parents asking anxiously, Han Du smiled and said, "Mom, dad, this is not the place to talk. Can we go back first?"
"What is this?" Hande suddenly saw the big box carried by the guards.
Han Du said helplessly: "Dad, can we go back first?"
Not only is this not the place to talk, this is also not the place to display this treasure.
Although Han De was eager to know what was going on, since Han Du insisted again and again, he had no choice but to go back first.
"What? You said that the emperor came to Jingyun because he encountered a problem and asked Jingyun to solve it?" Mrs. Liu looked at Han Du with an expression of disbelief.
Mrs. Liu thought she knew very well what her daughter was like. Although Han Jingyun has been given a teacher to teach her reading and writing since she was a child, she has never been taught arithmetic.
"When did you learn arithmetic? Where did you learn it?" Mrs. Liu turned to look at Han Jingyun, her expression a little ugly. The daughter she raised as a noble lady actually secretly learned arithmetic behind her parents' back.
Who did you learn this from?
If you learn it from a woman, that's fine. If she were to learn from a man... Liu simply couldn't imagine it.
