"Hey! Tiedan, he's boxing!"
In Hanjiazhuang, Lao Hu had just returned from "going to the market" in Chang'an when he saw Tiedan doing Tai Chi under the haystacks in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village. He was already used to it. Anyway, every weekend, the village farmers can be here. Saw Tiedan boxing.
"Yes! Uncle Hu! Did you go to the city to buy meat for Guo Ran again?"
Tiedan stopped, turned around and smiled.
In the past, when the Hu family had a silly son and a blind daughter, everyone sympathized with Hu Hanyun, but now the silly son has become a student at Yanhuang Academy, and the blind daughter has become the only disciple of the miracle doctor Sun Simiao. Hu Hanyun, who was previously pitied, is now the envy of people. Object!
"Hey! As expected, that boy rarely came back from vacation, so your Uncle Hu went to the city to weigh two kilograms of meat and give it to the boy! Tiedan, come over for lunch! Call your dad over too!"
Lao Hu grinned.
Tiedan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, Uncle Hu! My dad is probably cooking right now!"
When Lao Hu heard this, he didn't force it. After all, among the villagers, who hasn't eaten at someone's house? Not bad for one or two meals.
"Hey! That's okay! Tiedan, come over and play with Guo Ran when you have time!"
Old Hu laughed and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He paused and said: "Oh! By the way! Tiedan! Your Uncle Hu heard something in the city that may interest you. Do you want to listen?"
"Is it related to me?"
Hearing this, Tiedan looked confused. He walked over and asked, "Uncle Hu, what's going on?"
Old Hu pointed to the straw pile next to him, and the two sat under the straw pile. Old Hu put the things he bought on the ground, and then said: "Tiedan, when your Uncle Hu was in the city, he heard someone say , The Lin family is looking for a husband who is proficient in new arithmetic for their young master Lin Hao. The monthly salary is at least five guan, with no upper limit! Tiedan, do you want to give it a try?"
Tiedan's heart moved. The monthly salary is at least five guan. It can be said that this is a very, very well-paid "job". If he says that he is not interested, no one will believe it. After all, not everyone has a mine at home! Although he is in love with Li Zexuan, his "rich" brother-in-law, just because Li Zexuan is rich does not mean that he is rich! Many times, it is more comfortable to spend your own money.
But he still had some hesitation in his heart, "Uncle Hu, I'm just a student at Yanhuang Academy. How can I be qualified to be someone else's teacher? Aren't you kidding me!"
Hu Hanyun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Hey, hey! That's not the case! The steward of the Lin family also specifically said that as long as they are familiar with the first new arithmetic book compiled by the young master, they are welcome, even students, as long as you can Just go and coach their young master every once in a while, that’s it!”
Tiedan didn't believe it: "Is there such a good thing? Uncle Hu, are you trying to trick me?"
"Hey! You kid, what did I do to you?"
"But this position is quite suitable for Guo Ran! Uncle Hu, why don't you let Guo Ran give it a try?"
Old Hu smashed his mouth and said: "Oh! Uncle Hu, of course I want that kid to try it, but your Uncle Hu is still self-aware. I know, Old Hu, that his arithmetic scores are not as good as yours. If he goes to teach others arithmetic, he is simply delaying them! Besides, Tiedan, can you guess why the Lin family asked the arithmetic teacher to give tutoring lessons to his son? "
Tiedan thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Could it be that the young master of the Lin family wants to get into Yanhuang Academy?"
Under normal circumstances, no parent would be willing to spend so much effort to find someone to teach their son new arithmetic. After all, in this era, it is mainstream to enter the officialdom through classical studies. Now, the master of the Lin family not only has to find a math teacher for his son Sir, and looking for a gentleman who is proficient in new arithmetic, the only possible explanation is that the old man of the Lin family wants his son to enter Yanhuang Academy.
Hu Hanyun gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Smart! Tiedan, don't look at it. It's still eight or nine months before Yanhuang Academy's admissions exam next year. At this time, many thoughtful people in Chang'an City have already started to prepare. The Lin family is just one of them. It’s just one family! During the Yanhuang Academy exam this year, your math scores were much better than mine, so it’s more appropriate for you to go there!”
Tiedan lowered his head and thought for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Hu. I'll discuss it with my father when I go back soon!"
.............................
"Next! Han Li!"
In the south of Chang'an City, Anlefang, Lin's front yard.
A man in gray clothes who looked like a butler was standing at the door, shouting to the team outside the door.
Well, that’s right, Tiedan is really here.
"What? Han Li? Damn it! Han Li, you actually came to my house, no! Shouldn't you be undergoing a catastrophe right now?"
After Tiedan walked in, he found three tables and three chairs placed in the courtyard, with three people sitting on them. An old couple and a young man. Just came in. The young man jumped up and shouted.
Hearing this, Tiedan immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In terms of love, I met a true fan of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality", but this guy is a bit addicted!
"Xiao Hao, don't be rude!"
Who else could this young man be if he wasn't Lin Hao? Lin Wenyuan saw his son losing his temper and quickly scolded him.
"Oh! Dad!"
Lin Hao shrank his neck and responded depressedly.
Lin Wenyuan then looked at Tiedan. After looking him up and down, he said, "Does the young man know the Lin family's requirements for recruiting gentlemen?"
Tiedan nodded and replied: "Of course I know, I'm just proficient in new arithmetic!"
Lin Wenyuan nodded and said: "Xiao Langjun is proficient in new arithmetic at a young age. Could it be that he is a student of Yanhuang Academy?"
Tiedan said nervously: "Is it possible that Mr. Lin doesn't want to recruit students?"
Lin Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no matter who it is, as long as they can answer the three questions I asked, I will hire him! Are you confident enough to give it a try?"
"Of course! Mr. Lin, please give me a question!"
Tiedan cupped his hands and agreed.
Lin Wenyuan clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Haha! Okay! Xiaolangjun is so happy! The old man has come up with a question. Please listen to the first question: There are things today whose number is unknown. Count two from three to three, three from five to five, and count seven to seven. Second, ask the geometry of an object?"
This is an ancient arithmetic question, which comes from "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic Classic". The translated meaning of this question is: There is a batch of items, and I don't know how many there are. If you count three pieces by three, you will have two pieces left; if you count five pieces by five, you will have three pieces left; if you count seven pieces by seven, you will have two pieces left. Q: How many items are there in this batch?
Although it is an ancient arithmetic problem, it is still quite difficult for most people, but for those who have learned new arithmetic, it is really effortless!
"Mr. Lin, I have the answer!"
Before it was even time for a cup of tea, Tiedan had already calculated the correct answer in his mind!
