The two manuscripts still have to be handed over to Yu Deling for translation. Anyway, science fiction is not a classic, so it is not a difficult task for Yu Deling.
Li Yu naturally gave part of the royalties to Yu Deling, but the Deling family was obviously not short of money, so she said: "Did you know that Mr. Rong went to Xiyuan to file a complaint against you before the Queen Mother? You cut it?" The haircut is really a bit unexpected." Li Yu didn't expect that Rongqing would actually bring the matter to Cixi, so he said: "Master Rong is really making a fuss out of a molehill." De Ling said: "Master Rong doesn't think haircut is a trivial matter, fortunately, Prince Qing said a few nice words for you, but the Queen Mother didn't take it seriously." Li Yu wondered: "Prince Qing spoke for me?"
"Maybe it's because you lived in his house." De Ling said. Li Yu couldn't guess that Tang Shaoyi had secretly helped him, so he had no choice but to believe it: "It's possible." De Ling warned: "You should be more careful in the future, otherwise anything that happens may be a big problem." In the feudal era , there have always been many cases of people being caught and beaten to death for the slightest mistake. Don't mention that there is a fault. Even if there is no fault, the whole thing can still happen.
"Unnecessary". Li Yu said: "I will be careful." A few days later, there was a semester exam at the Capital University, and Zhang Baixi really arranged it for Li Yu.
For Li Yu, the difficulty is not a problem. The content involving mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography and other subjects is almost at the first grade level, or even worse.
——Of course, chemistry should be learned relatively late in the nine-year compulsory education. Even if Ding Haoliang deliberately made mathematics and physics more difficult, he would not be able to stump Li Yu.
However, the study of Confucian classics was still difficult, which gave Li Yu a headache. This time, two scriptures from the "Four Books" were asked as questions in the Confucian classics examination: "Therefore, if you are tempted and forbearance, you can gain righteousness that cannot be achieved" and
"If you raise upright people and ignore wrongdoers, then the people will obey the righteousness." Li Yu knew the meaning of these two sentences, but at his level, he could only write an argumentative essay in vernacular.
Just write it as a college entrance examination essay! As expected, Li Yu got full marks in other subjects and failed the economics subject... Fortunately, Zhang Baixi had already guessed it, so he was still prepared to award him the degree certificate.
However, Gu Hongming didn't know how he knew about this, and suddenly jumped out: "Do you want Li Yu to graduate? I don't agree!" Zhang Baixi frowned: "Li Yu is already very good in all subjects, and as a British royal It is not appropriate for him to be a foreign academician of the Society and then be classified as a student. That’s why we allowed him to graduate to help him have a smoother scientific path in the future." Gu Hongming took Li Yu's Confucian classics test paper and said: "You have failed in Chinese studies, how can you be qualified to be a capital university? Graduates of the school? You can fail other subjects, but as a Chinese, you cannot fail only Confucian classics!" Li Yu asked back: "In your opinion, should Chinese people fail science subjects?" Li Yu asked Yu's question hit the point, and Gu Hongming was really not easy to answer.
He stroked his beard and said, "Are you quibbling with me?" Li Yu said, "It's not quibbling, it's just a discussion."
"No, it's just sophistry," Gu Hongming said,
"Okay, if you can beat me in the debate, I will agree to your graduation. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you will not get your diploma smoothly." Li Yu has long known Gu Hongming's temper, and he must be dissatisfied. no.
"Okay, sir, how do you want to argue with me?" Li Yu asked. Gu Hongming was slightly startled: "It's interesting. You started to set up a trap for me right away. It's a bit like a university hall. But don't think that it's enough to be clever! Tomorrow in the classroom of the university hall, you can give me a good sophistry." He In turn, he continued to attack Li Yu.
"sophistry". Li Yu smiled and said: "We are waiting for you, sir." Gu Hongming walked away after saying that. He was really not afraid of sophistry.
Seeing this, Yan Fu was quite worried and said to Li Yu: "You! Just say a few words and let Mr. Zhang push him over." Li Yu said: "Since Mr. Gu is the examiner, he naturally has something to say. Rights." Yan Fu said: "You have learned the freedom of speech of Westerners, but sometimes you can be a qualified Chinese by being more tactful." Li Yu was young after all, and said proudly: "Being tactful is the wisdom of life, but it is not the way to do things. Principle. If Mr. Gu insists on doing this, I will accompany you to the end, otherwise it will be difficult to get this graduation certificate." Yan Fu sighed: "Although you are talented and sharp, you are still controlled by others, and sometimes you We must learn to be flexible and flexible." Li Yu felt that how could he lose to the ancients as a person a hundred years later, so he confidently said: "Sir, don't worry about me. If I am not sure, I will not argue with Mr. Gu." He affirmed I never imagined that I would pay the price for this in the future.
Ding Haoliang felt that Li Yu had guts, so he clapped his hands and said, "You have guts. I really like you more and more." Zhang Baixi shook her head. As of now, she can only wait and see what happens.
On the same day, Lu Bicheng learned from Yan Fu that Li Yu was going to argue with Gu Hongming. Yan Fu valued Lu Bicheng, a female apprentice, and of course Li Yu, a university student.
Lu Bicheng found Li Yu with a few books: "Mr. Yan said, hurry up and take a good look at these." Li Yu found that what she brought were all the Four Books, Five Classics and Zhu Xi's writings, so he smiled and said, "It's too late." Lu Bicheng asked anxiously: "You can still laugh?" Li Yu spread his hands: "You don't think I can recite the entire Analects of Confucius in one night, do you?" Lu Bicheng sighed: "What should I do?"
"Cold salad." Li Yu said.
"Salad?" Lu Bicheng asked.
"Yes, cold cucumbers, cold tomatoes... By the way, when it comes to tomatoes, not only can you scramble eggs, but it's also great when mixed with sugar. I'll buy some tomatoes and make a dish for you to try tomorrow," Li Yu said.
Lu Bicheng was not in the mood either: "You changed the subject, why are you still in the mood to eat foreign vegetables?" Li Yu laughed: "If you are worried, just come with Mr. Yan tomorrow."
"What about these books?" Lu Bicheng asked, pointing to a pile of classics. Li Yu said: "No need." Lu Bicheng still didn't believe it: "With your level of Chinese studies, I don't know where you got the confidence to dare to argue with Mr. Gu. Do you know his reputation abroad?" Fortunately, it was Gu Hongming. His level of Chinese studies was just like that. Li Yu had at least read Gu Hongming's works, but Gu Hongming couldn't understand the scientific works written by Li Yu.
So Li Yu said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles. I know it in my heart." Lu Bicheng felt like his head was getting big: "Do you want to read the art of war?" Li Yu joked: "It makes sense, then I will read the art of war." Lu Bicheng He immediately said: "You wait, I will go home and get you "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Tao", "Wei Liaozi's Art of War" and "Zhuge Liang's Art of War"." Li Yu asked: "Do you really have the art of war? No, it's not Yan Fu. Did the gentleman ask you to bring it?" Lu Bicheng was slightly startled: "This..." Li Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry about anything, remember to bring peanuts and melon seeds to the show tomorrow." Lu Bicheng said: "I see You don’t even eat melon seeds when playing.” Li Yu chatted: “That’s boring.”
"It's not elegant to spit out melon seed peels everywhere." Lu Bicheng said.
"I thought it was for some reason. The fun of eating melon seeds is the skin," Li Yu said.
"Since you don't eat melon seeds, you can eat melon seeds tomorrow."
"What kind of melon?" Lu Bicheng had never heard of this Internet term. Li Yu said with a smile: "It's the so-called watching a play." Lu Bicheng said: "In that case, I won't tell you anymore. It's getting dark and it makes no sense to continue to stay here." After she finished speaking, she left.
Li Yu couldn't keep him, and he couldn't guess whether Yan Fu asked her to send these four books and five classics that made people worry.
The next day, Li Yu came to the large classroom of the Capital University Hall as scheduled. Yan Fu, Ding Haoliang, Zhang Baixi and others were also present. It looked like a graduation defense meeting.
Many classmates also came after hearing the news. Lu Bicheng was among the crowd. She was smart and came here disguised as a man.
Dressed in men's clothing, it really fits the bill.
Qiu Jin means "female double hero". There were three people standing next to Gu Hongming. He said: "Why, you are really here alone. According to Western rules, a debate requires one, two, three and four debates, right?" He Yujie, Feng Zuxun and Fan Xiren jumped immediately came out: "Li Yu, let's come!" Li Yu stretched out his hand to block them, and said: "I accept your wishes, but today is the graduation defense. If you also win, don't you also have to graduate together, so why go there again? Study abroad." Gu Hongming smiled and said: "What you are saying is that we will lose." Li Yu said: "I didn't say that, I just said that I will win, not that sir will lose." Gu Hongming asked "What's the difference?" Li Yu said, "The difference is huge. Do you want me to tell you what a set is, including and being included?"
"It's not your turn to teach me yet," Gu Hongming said,
"Look, the three people I have here are the former Guangdong scholar Zhu Zumou, Hanlin scholar Cao Yuanzhong, and Bagong examiner Zhang Xigong. One Jinshi and two examiners have all been admitted to the Hanlin, and they can also be called doctors. , I will give you a small bachelor's degree assessment, and you won't be unqualified, right?" Gu Hongming is really good, and the few people he pulled over are all typical conservative literati.
But obviously they were just making up the numbers. Li Yu said: "Of course it's appropriate, doctors." Cao Yuanzhong didn't understand: "What's the knife?" Gu Hongming didn't expect that they would be defeated by Li Yu with just one English word. It seemed that they still had to rely on themselves, so he said: "According to According to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan, your scientific subjects are extremely strong, so even if you fail the Confucian classics examination, you can still be admitted to graduate and awarded a bachelor's degree. But I think it is completely insufficient! A Chinese person does not even have the most basic knowledge of his ancestors. I don’t even understand, what qualifications do I have to graduate?”
