"You..." Han Du glanced at the paper, then looked up at Yu Qian, his eyes constantly wandering between Yu Qian and the paper.
Yu Qian was not in a hurry at all and stood in front of Han Du, quietly waiting for the teacher's words.
After a while, Han Du couldn't help but clap his hands and sighed: "Wonderful, your method is simply wonderful."
Yu Qian bowed slightly and asked with a smile: "So, teacher, do you think my meager skills can win awards from several academies?"
Han Du picked up the paper and read it repeatedly for a while, then raised his head and looked at Yu Qianzhong and emphasized.
"able!"
Yu Qian felt a surge of joy in his heart and solemnly handed over his hand: "Thank you, sir!"
After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "This time the student wants to give up on the academy application."
Han Du suddenly froze, looked into Yu Qian's eyes and asked, "What do you think? With such a good thing, why don't you participate?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly, shook his head firmly and said, "The disciple is very happy to be recognized by the teacher. As for the academy's selection, the disciple doesn't care much."
"Even if you don't care about fame, don't care about money. That's 100,000 guan. Although your family is well off, I'm afraid you don't have a 100,000 guan family fortune, right?" Han Du put down the paper and sighed: "Still Tell me, are you worried that if you participate in the academy selection, you will be said to be a favoritist and deliberately rank you first?"
The bitter smile on Yu Qian's face became even stronger. This was what he was worried about.
He and his teacher have the closest master-disciple relationship. Even if his research results are enough to win first place, others will gossip about him and implicate his teacher.
And he didn't want the teacher to be implicated.
Han Du slowly sat on the chair, looked at Yu Qian who looked very embarrassed in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and said: "But have you ever thought about it, if you don't participate, then people will also say that I finally accepted it." A disciple, but not even qualified to participate. In this case, both our master and disciple will also be discredited."
"Ah?" Yu Qian was shocked. If the teacher hadn't mentioned it, he would have never considered it.
"Here, teacher, what should I do?" Yu Qian panicked for a moment. If you participate, you worry about being accused of favoritism, and if you don’t participate, you will be looked down upon. How can it be so difficult to be a human being?
Han Du spread his hands, shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no way, human nature is like this. It dislikes you for being poor, but is afraid of being rich. If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if the trees are taller than the others, they will be turbulent. People must be different from others.”
"The more outstanding you are, the more people will criticize you. This is inevitable for everyone."
Yu Qian nodded slowly and said with a wry smile: "Disciple understands the truth, but... I just didn't expect it to be so difficult."
"It's difficult to say it's difficult; it's not difficult to say it's easy." Han Du smiled faintly.
Yu Qianfu reached his heart and immediately understood that this was the teacher's intention to give him guidance. He quickly raised his hands and asked respectfully: "Please ask the teacher to clarify my doubts."
Han Duqing cleared his throat and said, "You are walking on the street and someone points their nose and scolds you. If you can't get angry, you might just go up and yell at them." scold you; but if you stand on a high building, you can't hear the sound of others scolding you, and you think the other person is greeting you, and you smile and wave to the other person; when you stand on the top of the mountain, at this time you You will no longer hear voices scolding you on the street, and everything you see is scenery."
As Yu Qian listened to Han Du's words, he floated to the top of the tall building in his heart, and then floated to the top of the mountain. His eyes were slightly lowered, and a feeling of bliss filled Qian's whole body and mind.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and bowed respectfully to Han Du: "Teacher, I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Han Du still had that smiling expression.
Yu Qian nodded heavily: "Yes! Whether it is insults or flattery from outsiders, it actually has nothing to do with disciples. Disciples always only need to care about their own goals, not the likes and dislikes of outsiders."
Han Du was very satisfied with Yu Qian's answer, "As long as you understand."
Yu Qian took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Teacher, this disciple has decided to participate in this academy application."
Han Du nodded slightly, reached out to pick up the paper on the desk, and said: "Of course I want to participate. However, your worries are not unreasonable. If you apply like this, you will probably be criticized."
"Ah?" Yu Qian heard this suddenly and became more and more confused. He didn't know what the teacher wanted to do. "What does the teacher mean?"
Han Du said calmly: "Of course you have to apply, but you can do one more thing after applying."
"Please give me some advice, teacher." Yu Qian bowed quickly.
...
The next day, Yu Qian came to the academy early in the morning, found the place to apply, and submitted the application in full view of everyone.
In an instant, a news spread throughout the academy.
"Senior Brother Yu Qian has submitted the application."
"Which hospital? Which hospital did Senior Brother Yu Qian submit to?"
"It seems like, Shuyuan..."
"Ah? Shuyuan! I also applied for Shuyuan. It's over, it's over, it's over. How can I be Senior Brother Yu Qian's opponent?"
Some students suddenly cried out like mourning for a concubine, and looked like they were beating their chests and feet in annoyance.
Yu Qian has a great reputation in the Shu Academy, not just because he is Han Du's only disciple, but because he is indeed extremely smart and can learn everything quickly.
If it weren't for Han Du taking him out to sea for two years and delaying the examination, Yu Qian would have passed the Jinshi examination and become a gentleman in the academy, instead of still being a student.
Therefore, no one in the academy would regard Yu Qian as a student, but would regard him as the same as the teacher.
Therefore, when they learned that Yu Qian also applied for mathematics results, the students who also applied were so frustrated. Because they really have no confidence that they can overcome humility.
Not only students think this way, but also college teachers who apply for mathematics results also have such worries. There was no way, the pressure Yu Qian brought to them was too great.
The news quickly spread outside the academy. When people in the Imperial College heard about it, a rumor about Han Du began to circulate.
"Han Du is the deputy judge of the academy, and he must be among the judges this time. And Yu Qian is Han Du's direct disciple. Tsk tsk, it seems that it is a definite matter who will receive the reward from the academy."
It's so obvious. Who doesn't know that this news means that Yu Qian has already booked a reward from several institutes?
Although the gentlemen in the academy all recognized Yu Qian's strength, when the news spread, those gentlemen who also applied to the academy felt very uncomfortable.
