"Where's Cheng Chumo?" Morton looked around and found that one person was missing from the triangle.
Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "I don't know. He sent someone to say that he had something to do today and would be late. But he hasn't arrived yet!"
Meton thought about it and decided that there was nothing to worry about. Cheng Chumo could do whatever he wanted in Chang 'an, so nothing would happen to him.
At this time, Uncle Fu suddenly knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Young Master, there's a young man outside who says that he's your classmate from the Imperial College. He heard that you were sick and came to visit you?"
"Imperial College classmate?" Meton and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other. Meton had a bad reputation in the Imperial College. Usually, the students of the Imperial College would ignore Meton. He believed that someone would be ecstatic to hear that he was sick, but why would anyone come to visit him?
"Could it be Cheng Chumo?" Yuchi Baolin said hesitantly.
"How could it be? Cheng Chumo, this guy, every time he comes in, he's always barging in. You expect him to be polite, hmph! "Qin Huaiyu said disdainfully.
"Who is it? You'll know at a glance. Since he's here, it's not good to refuse him. Uncle Fu, bring him here! "Meton said.
Uncle Fu obeyed and left. Soon, he came in with a young man.
"Zu Mingjun!" Meton was surprised. He didn't expect him to come. They usually didn't interact. The only time they interacted was when Meton first entered the Imperial College.
"I heard that Brother Mo is sick, so I came to visit you today." Zu Mingjun was very polite and had some gifts in his hands.
"Brother Zu, you're too polite. We're all classmates, so there's no need to be so formal. Please come in!" Meton hurriedly invited Zu Mingjun in. He also knew that although the Zu family was famous, their main achievements were in mathematics. They had never been a high-ranking official, so they weren't rich.
"Zu Abacus, so it's you?" Qin Huaiyu snorted when he saw Zu Mingjun. Because Zu Mingjun was good at calculating, he was nicknamed Zu Abacus.
"Imperial College Rice Bucket. So what if it's me?"
Zu Mingjun and Qin Huaiyu obviously didn't get along well with each other, and they had a grudge against each other.
"Alright, alright. We're all classmates. Don't make things so awkward, okay?" Meton persuaded.
"Meton, you don't know how despicable he is. During last year's Annual Examination, he was beside me. I wanted to peek at his answers, but he wouldn't let me. I was beaten five times by Master Shen! "Qin Huaiyu said with deep resentment.
"That's because you're stupid. Those questions are extremely easy," Zu Mingjun retorted.
"You're good, you're good, but you still lost to Meton in one round!"
"Uh, uh! … "
Zu Mingjun's face turned red. He had indeed lost miserably.
"I admit that I'm not as good as Brother Mo. Actually, I have another reason for coming here today. I want to continue learning from Brother Mo." Zu Mingjun bowed to Meton.
"Brother Zu, you're too polite. The Zu Family's Art of Fixing is world-famous. Meton has also studied it for a long time. We're just learning from each other." Meton respected people who were knowledgeable. The Art of Fixing was one of the compulsory textbooks in the Imperial College. After reading it, Meton's horizons were broadened. He no longer dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
"Brother Mo, you're too polite. The Art of Fixing is only one of the ten Mathematical Classics. How can it be called world-famous?"
"You're welcome. Let's not talk about other things. Take Pi as an example. My ancestor's extreme circle cutting method is the world's first. He was the first person in the world to calculate Pi to 3.1415926."
"Speaking of Pi, according to my ancestors, my ancestor was inspired by the Mo Classics. Speaking of which, I should thank the Mo Family." Zu Mingjun didn't forget to compliment Mo Zi after flattering his ancestor.
"Flattering each other!" Qin Huaiyu curled his lips and said with disdain.
Meton and Zu Mingjun couldn't help but laugh. The relationship between the two became closer in an instant.
"I'm really ashamed. My ancestor's Art of Calculation was not even one-tenth of it. Today, I'll take this opportunity to ask Brother Mo for advice." Zu Mingjun said formally.
Meton was about to answer when a voice came from outside.
"That's good. I've also brought someone who sincerely wants to learn from me."
Cheng Chumo walked into the hall without any trace of politeness. Behind him was a slender and gentle youth. His only flaw was that his legs were a bit inconvenient when he walked.
"This one is Li Gaoming! I'm very fond of Mathematics. I heard that Brother Mo's Art of Calculation is unique. I'm especially thick-skinned enough to ask Chumo to introduce me to you. "Li Gaoming's actions made people feel very comfortable.
"This is my friend from Jinyang. He's also a descendant of a military family. Let's take care of each other in the future. "Cheng Chumo gave a simple introduction.
"That's good. Cheng Chumo's friend is my friend. There aren't so many rules in the Mo Estate. Here, we're all brothers. "Meton enthusiastically greeted.
After a round of discussion, Meton was surprised to find that Li Gaoming was indeed very accomplished in Mathematics. It was obvious that he had studied hard. Even Zu Mingjun looked at Li Gaoming in a new light.
The more the three talked, the more they got along. Li Gaoming and Zu Mingjun had a better understanding of Meton's Art of Mathematics. It was simply unfathomable! Meton only needed to think a little to solve his own problem. But Meton's random question left him puzzled.
"Please enlighten me, Brother Mo!" Zu Mingjun said with sincerity.
Li Gaoming nodded in agreement. He realized that his mathematics skills were the lowest among the three of them, but he could still keep up with Zu Mingjun. However, compared to Morton, there was no way he could compare at all.
"The one who has reached the top will be the teacher? Gaoming also wants to learn from Brother Mo! "
Meton thought for a while and said with difficulty: "If you two want to learn, of course, but …"
"But what? You Meton don't dawdle. As long as there's something difficult, this brother will help you solve it. "Cheng Chumo said straightforwardly.
"Please tell us, Brother Mo! If it's related to the Mo Family's secret, then we'll pretend we didn't say anything. "Zu Mingjun said.
He knew that the Mo Family followed the rules the most. Mo Zi kept the Art of Living Fish for a thousand years. Meton's Art of Mathematics was probably a secret of the Mo Family. There were harsh conditions.
"No! Everyone misunderstood! The Mo Family is not so narrow-minded. It's just that the Art of Mathematics I learned is different from the Art of Mathematics you learned. If you two want to learn, I'm afraid you have to start from the beginning. It's like teaching children. "Merton said.
"Then can you calculate the problem of the disaster victims that Brother Mo came up with?" Li Gaoming asked.
"Of course, that's a problem I could solve when I was a child." Meton said without thinking. When he was in elementary school, he almost broke down because of the Art of Mathematics.
"Okay, I'll learn it!" Zu Mingjun said affirmatively. His family had been striving for Art of Mathematics for generations. Now that there was knowledge that surpassed his family, of course, he would not give up.
"I came down here to learn profound knowledge. How can I return empty-handed from such a treasure mountain?" Li Gaoming said.
"Do I have to learn too?" Qin Huaiyu and the other two suddenly said.
"What are you doing?" Meton looked at the three of them unhappily.
"Didn't you say we have to learn from the beginning? Are we worse than children?" Qin Huaiyu said unhappily.
"Yes!" Meton nodded heavily.
