"Hey! Iron Egg, he's practicing Taiji! "
At the Han Village, Old Hu had just returned from the "market" in Chang 'an when he saw Iron Egg practicing Taiji under the haystack at the entrance of the village. He was already used to it. After all, every weekend, the villagers would see Iron Egg practicing Taiji here.
"Yes! Uncle Hu! Did you go to the city to buy meat again? "
Iron Egg stopped and turned around with a smile.
In the past, the Hu family had a dumb son and a blind daughter. Everyone sympathized with Hu Hanyun. But now, the dumb son had become a student at Yanhuang College, and the blind daughter had become the only disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sun Simiao. Hu Hanyun, who was pitied in the past, had become the object of envy!
"Hey! Sure enough, it's rare for that kid to come home. Your Uncle Hu went to the city to buy two catties of meat for him! Iron Egg, come over for lunch! Call your father over too! "
Old Hu grinned.
Iron Egg hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, Uncle Hu! My father is probably cooking by now! "
Old Hu heard this and did not insist. After all, they were fellow villagers. Who had not eaten at each other's house before? One or two meals would not make a difference.
"Hey! That's fine! Iron Egg, if you have time, come and play with Taiji! "
Old Hu laughed and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and said, "Oh! That's right! Iron Egg! Your Uncle Hu heard something in the city. You might be interested. Do you want to hear it? "
"Something to do with me?"
Iron Egg heard this and looked puzzled. He walked over and asked, "Uncle Hu, what is it?"
Old Hu pointed at the haystack next to him. The two of them sat under the haystack. Old Hu placed the things he bought on the ground and said, "Iron Egg, when your Uncle Hu was in the city, I heard that the Lin family is looking for a teacher who is proficient in new mathematics for their young master, Lin Hao. His monthly salary is at least five strings of coins, and there is no cap! Do you want to try the Iron Egg? "
Iron Egg's heart skipped a beat. The monthly salary was at least five strings of coins, which was a very, very good "job". No one would believe him if he said that he was not tempted. After all, not everyone had a mine at home! Although Li Zexuan was his "rich" brother-in-law, Li Zexuan's wealth did not mean that he was rich! Most of the time, it was more comfortable to spend one's own money.
However, he was still a little hesitant. "Uncle Hu, I'm just a student at Yanhuang College. How can I be someone else's teacher? Aren't you making fun of me? "
Hu Hanyun repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Hey, hey, hey! It's not like that! The steward of the Lin family even said that as long as you're familiar with the first volume of the new mathematics book written by Young Master, they'll welcome you, even if you're a student. As long as you can guide their Young Master from time to time, it'll be fine! "
Iron Egg said in disbelief, "There's such a good thing? Uncle Hu, are you trying to trick me? "
"Hey! You child, why would I trick you? "
"But this position is quite suitable for Sure! Uncle Hu, why don't you let Sure give it a try? "
Old Hu smacked his lips and said, "Hey! Of course, your Uncle Hu wants that kid to give it a try, but at least your Uncle Hu knows his own limits. I know that Sure's mathematics results can't compare to yours. If he were to teach someone else, it would be a waste of their time! Besides, Tie Dan, can you guess why Old Master Lin wants to hire a fortune-teller to tutor his son? "
Iron Egg thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said, "Could it be that the Young Master of the Lin family wants to enter Yanhuang College?"
Under normal circumstances, no parents would be willing to spend so much effort to find someone to teach their son the new type of mathematics. After all, in this era, it was mainstream to enter the government through the study of classics. Now, the old master of the Lin family not only wanted to find a mathematics teacher for his son, but also a teacher who was proficient in the new type of mathematics. The only possible explanation was that the old master of the Lin family wanted his son to enter the Yanhuang Academy.
Hu Hanyun gave him a thumbs up and chuckled. "Smart! Iron Egg, there are still eight to nine months before Yanhuang College's entrance exam next year. At this time, many people in Chang 'an have already started preparing. The Lin family is just one of them! During Yanhuang College's entrance exam this year, your mathematics results were much better than mine, so it's better for you to go! "
Iron Egg 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 later!"
.....
"Next! Han Li! "
South of Chang 'an City, Happy Lane, Lin Family's front yard.
A man in gray who looked like a butler stood at the door and shouted at the group outside.
Yes, that's right, Bruiser really did come.
"What? Han Li? F * ck! Han Li, you actually came to my house? No! Shouldn't you be undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation now? "
After Iron Egg walked in, he saw three tables and three chairs in the yard. There were three people sitting on each of them. An old couple and a young man. As soon as he walked in. The young man jumped up and made a fuss.
Iron Egg didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. It seemed that he had met a true fan of "A Legend of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," but this guy was a little too obsessed!
"Xiao Hao, don't be rude!"
Who else could this young man be other than Lin Hao? Lin Wenyuan saw that his son had lost his composure and hurriedly reprimanded him.
"Oh! Dad! "
Lin Hao shrunk his neck and replied gloomily.
Lin Wenyuan looked at Iron Egg and sized him up. He said, "Young man, do you know the requirements of the Lin family?"
Iron Egg nodded and replied, "Of course I do. I'm just proficient in new arithmetic!"
Lin Wenyuan nodded and said, "Young man, you're already proficient in new arithmetic at such a young age. Are you a student of Yanhuang College?"
Iron Egg was a little nervous. He said, "Does Master Lin not want to recruit students?"
Lin Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no. No matter who it is, as long as they can answer my three questions, I'll hire them! Young man, do you have the confidence to give it a try? "
"Of course! Master Lin, please give me the questions! "
Iron Egg cupped his hands and agreed.
Lin Wenyuan clapped his hands and praised, "Haha! Good! Young man, you're very straightforward! Then I'll give you the questions. Please listen carefully. The first question is: Today, there is an object but its number is unknown. Three by three is two, five by five is three, seven by seven is two. How many is the object? "
This was an ancient arithmetic question from Sun Tzu Arithmetical Classic. The translation of this question was: There is a batch of objects, but I don't know how many there are. If you count three by three, there will be two left. If you count five by five, there will be three left. If you count seven by seven, there will be two left. Question: How many objects are there in this batch?
Although it was an ancient arithmetic question, it was still quite difficult for most people. However, for those who had learned new arithmetic, it was a piece of cake!
"Master Lin, I have the answer!"
In less than ten minutes, Iron Egg had calculated the correct answer in his heart!
