As Yu Qian announced the topic, more and more people participated in solving the problem. The more in-depth these people study, the more they can discover the difficulty of this question, and naturally the more they admire Qian.
A few days ago, everyone strongly resisted Yu Qian's participation in the selection, but now they admire Qian so much.
Inside the academy.
It was rare for Fang Xiaoru to take the initiative to come to Han Du. After sitting down, he said unceremoniously: "Is it your idea for Yu Qian to announce the topic?"
Han Du did not hide it and nodded with a smile: "Since some people think that Yu Qian wants to win the reward relying on my relationship, then find a way to prove that he relies on his own ability and has nothing to do with me."
"And the best way to prove it is to publish the question and let everyone participate in the judging?"
Fang Xiaoru also had to admit that this was really the best way to turn the situation around in a short period of time.
But since Fang Xiaoru came to Han Du, he naturally had deeper concerns.
"Aren't you afraid that someone will actually solve this problem and Yu Qian will lose this opportunity?"
Han Du smiled and shook his head, explaining: "I just suggested that Yu Qian publish the question to dispel other people's concerns. Yu Qian, who didn't think about it, was also young and energetic, and actually made a bold statement that as long as someone solved it, he would withdraw from the selection. "
Yu Qian suddenly made such a decision at that time without consulting Han Du at all. By the time Han Du found out, it was impossible to take back Yu Qian's words. Even Han Du had no way to change this situation and could only let things develop.
"Yu Qian decided it on his own? How reckless." Fang Xiaoru complained to Yu Qian with dissatisfaction.
He has always been very fond of Yu Qian, who is extremely intelligent. If Han Du hadn't accepted Yu Qian as his disciple in advance, he would have eagerly accepted Yu Qian.
But now that I heard that Yu Qian had said such words without consulting Han Du, I felt disappointed in Qian.
Yu Qian is still too young, does not understand the dangers of the world, and is too reckless.
"It is indeed a bit reckless, but the problem is not big." Han Du said with a smile, looked at Fang Xiaoru's confused eyes, and explained: "This question is not that simple, it is an eternal problem. To be honest, Yu Qian can solve it , even I was surprised. It is simply impossible to solve it in less than a month."
Han Du still has this confidence. So when Yu Qian made his bold statement, Han Du didn't interfere at all, because he was sure that no one could solve it.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the inside story would be like this. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I see. Why do you look so unconcerned? It turns out you have a plan in mind."
"But is this question really as difficult as you say?"
"Really." Han Du nodded lightly.
Fang Xiaoru knew that Han Du was superior to him in mathematics. Since Han Du said so, there should be no problem.
However, he still asked doubtfully, "Can't even the Queen Mother untie it?"
"This..." The smile on Han Du's face suddenly froze. How could he ignore her?
When Fang Xiaoru saw it, he burst into laughter. He was laughing so hard that he forgot even the most important people.
Facing Fang Xiaoru's wanton ridicule, Han Du couldn't sit still anymore, left, stood up, and hurriedly walked outside the academy.
Without wasting a moment, Han Du came directly to the palace and asked to see Han Jingyun.
When Han Du saw the girl, she was busy at her desk and didn't know what she was busy with.
"Brother, please sit down for a moment. I'll be fine here soon."
Han Du walked to the chair brought out by the palace maid, sat down, and took the tea cup.
"What are you busy with?" Han Du was a little surprised. Han Jingyun didn't even manage the royal industry, so how could he still be so busy?
Han Jingyun did not raise his head, his eyes were still fixed on the long case, and he explained softly: "It's nothing, just solving the problem."
Oh, I'm solving a problem...
....
After Han Jingyun became the empress dowager, she still did not give up and continued to study mathematics. Even now that she has fewer things to do, she can spend more time studying mathematics.
Suddenly, Han Du was startled, and an unpleasant thought came to his mind. He asked nervously: "What topic is the girl doing?"
Han Jingyun didn't answer immediately, as if she couldn't care about Han Du now at a critical moment.
After a few breaths, just when Han Du couldn't wait to stand up, Han Jingyun straightened up and said with surprise on his face: "It's solved."
"What, what has been solved?" Han Du became even more nervous.
Han Jingyun raised his head, looked at his brother with a smile, and said in an innocent tone: "This is your precious apprentice's question. I have to say that this question is a bit difficult for him, but it's pretty good that he can solve it. Congratulations, big brother. , I took on a good apprentice."
Han Du couldn't help but twitched his face. Of course he knew whether Yu Qian was good or not. But when these words came out of the girl's mouth, Han Du always felt that she meant something.
Seeing that his brother was so nervous, Han Jingyun couldn't help but think of playing tricks on him. He deliberately said: "But brother, I heard that your apprentice is very arrogant. He dares to speak in dialect. If anyone can solve it, he will directly give the academy's reward to whoever can solve it. That's what he said, right?"
Han Du couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Qian's initial recklessness, but no matter how dissatisfied it was, now was not the time to reprimand Yu Qian, so he had to calm the girl down first.
With a dry laugh, Han Du said softly: "Young people always want to get ahead. Why should a girl with a noble status be on the same level as him? Besides, does the girl lack this hundred thousand coins?"
"Brother, please don't say that. One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount. I am really short of it." Han Jingyun looked into Han Du's eyes with a smile while drinking tea.
Will you be short of money? Who believes this?
Han Jingyun used to be in charge of not only the Baochao Lifting Department, but also all the royal properties. After so many years, how could she take one hundred thousand coins seriously?
"Do you really want to go to the academy to receive the reward?" Han Du asked in disbelief.
Han Jingyun said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this the rule set by the academy? I'm still the master of the academy, so can't I participate?"
Han Du quietly looked at the girl for a few breaths, then sighed helplessly: "Sister, don't make trouble."
Han Jingyun also teased his brother enough, and gradually put away his smile, "Okay, brother, I'm just kidding you."
Han Du breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Jingyun added: "However, you should also teach your apprentice well. Tell him to restrain himself and stop looking down on the people of the world."
Han Du nodded heavily, agreeing with the girl's statement. Yu Qian's move is indeed too arrogant. If he can crush everyone like the girl, then there is no big problem in doing so.
But it's obvious that Yu Qian can't do it yet.
