Chapter 34: Apprentice's Daily Life

"These are articles written by your senior brothers. Just follow these topics and write another one yourself. You must submit at least one article to me every day."

"Go back and study these books carefully, and after reading them, write a few comments." Xu Chengyu said as he kept handing the books to Gu Yunji, "These are the imperial palace newspapers in recent months. Since there is an imperial examination, we will

You must have a clear understanding of current political affairs so that you will not show any timidity in the examination room. And these, these..."

Gu Yunji looked at the pile of books and articles in his arms and had a headache. He thought Xu Chengyu was going to give him something good, but it was all homework! This was the first day after becoming a disciple, and the mules of the production team were not so tired.

Bar?

"Teacher, teacher, wait..." Gu Yunji poked his head out of the book with difficulty, "Isn't it a bit too much? Students are stupid, and I'm afraid they won't be able to digest your love for your disciples."

Seeing that Gu Yunji could no longer hold him in his arms, Xu Chengyu finally stopped and continued to assign homework: "Well, let's take less first. When you finish them all, I will get you new ones."

Take less? There is such a big pile, and it is called less? I am afraid that I will not have an easy life in the future. Gu Yunji suddenly felt deeply worried about his future.

Xu Chengyu didn't seem to notice his strange mood at all. He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "When I was young, my teacher gave me much more homework than this, and he also had a lot of homework.

Extremely strict, if you complain, you will have to add some extra homework."

"Your life is much easier than mine before. Considering your young age, I have given you some relief as appropriate. Your senior brothers did not have this kind of treatment before."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction and went back with his homework.

"Dad, look at how you scare people into being stunned." Xu Shuhua walked out with a smile, "You yourself said that when you were young, you were good at walking birds and fighting crickets, and you also went up to the mountains to hunt with firecrackers every day.

As hard as you said."

Xu Chengyu said matter-of-factly: "If I didn't put it more seriously, how could he be so obedient and go back to do his homework? Young people should suffer more."

Xu Shuhua exposed him mercilessly: "Didn't you endure hardship when you were young? Even the disciples you accepted in the past never gave so many homework to others."

"Isn't that why you value him extra?" Xu Chengyu said as he picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He was not at all as cautious as he had been as a teacher just now. "This kid has a good heart and tenacity, so we have to take advantage of the opportunity to push him a little more."

potential, so that you can be more promising in the future.”

As Xu Chengyu said, Gu Yunji did conscientiously complete the day's homework when he returned and hurriedly sent it to him for review before sunset.

"You can't keep poking its mouth with blades of grass. You have to tease the tentacles and stimulate it to rush forward. Yes, that's it..."

"Hey, stop, they are fighting, what are you doing!"

As soon as Gu Yunji walked in, he saw Xu Chengyu and Su Qi lying in front of a porcelain jar fighting with crickets.

"Chief, why doesn't this one of mine move? It doesn't react no matter how much I poke it." Su Qi pinched a thin grass stem with his fingers and fiddled with the cricket in the jar for several times, but there was no movement. He couldn't help but wonder.

Xu Chengyu squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and said, "Look at how flat the belly is. Did you not feed it?"

"Do you still want to feed?" Su Qi immediately opened the door to the new world, "No wonder the crickets I caught before couldn't fight in a day or two at most. They turned out to be hungry."

Xu Chengyu almost cried because of his stupidity. He poked his head and said: "It's weird that it can fight without eating! How do you know how to eat three meals a day on time?"

Su Qi was not annoyed, and stared at Xu Chengyu's cricket with greedy eyes, and said with a playful smile: "Shan Chief, I think yours is a big and fat one, why don't you give it to me?"

"What a beautiful thought! I've been raising this one for a long time, and it died within two days of being given to you?"

"Who said that? I will definitely take good care of it! What's more, you said that you taught me how to fight crickets when I was second to last in the exam, but I ranked 23rd all of a sudden! Don't you want to give me something extra?

"

"Teacher, I've finished my homework for today." Seeing that the two of them had no intention of stopping, Gu Yunji had no choice but to interrupt.

Xu Chengyu pointed to the table next to him and said without raising his head: "Well, let's put it there first and look at it when I'm free."

He assigned a lot of homework to the students, but he was fighting with crickets, but who said Xu Chengyu was the teacher and he was the apprentice? Gu Yunji felt helpless, so he had to put the homework on the table as he was told.

When Gu Yunji was doing his homework, he found on the table a copy of "Elements of Geometry" that he had seen in Xu Shuhua's hand that day. The book was open, and there was a stack of paper next to it. On it was the Chinese translation of the book, but it didn't look like it.

After the translation, the paper was smeared, as if it was stuck somewhere.

Xu Shuhua was pouring tea for the visiting guests. When he came out, he happened to see Gu Yunji holding his book and reading intently, so he couldn't help but walked over.

"But what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Gu Yunji came back to his senses and pointed to a certain place in the book. "This word means inner corner, but this is translated as edge corner."

After hearing this, Xu Shuhua read it carefully again, and after taking into account the context, he found that the translation into inner angle was indeed more coherent, and the problems that had troubled him before were solved.

Although he had known that Gu Yunji had some knowledge of foreign languages, he did not expect that he would study so deeply that his language skills were much higher than his own. Xu Shuhua couldn't help but look at Gu Yunji with admiration and said, "I don't want Mr. Gu to be familiar with foreign languages."

I have done quite a bit of research and learned a lesson. What do you think of this theorem in the book?"

"Miss Xu, thank you." Gu Yunji said a few words of self-effacement, and then explained to her, "This theorem is actually very simple, that is..." In order to see more clearly, Xu Shuhua put his head over it, and gradually, the two of them

People are getting closer and closer.

After listening to Gu Yunji's explanation, Xu Shuhua was enlightened: "Mr. Gu is talented in literature and proficient in foreign languages. He even has such profound insights into arithmetic. He is really a young genius."

"Really?" Xu Chengyu listened for a long time and casually said, "Then you can communicate more in the future, so that Shuhua won't have to think about it alone for a long time."

As soon as Xu Chengyu spoke, Xu Shuhua realized that he was too absorbed in listening to Gu Yunji's explanation and was a little too close to him. He quickly took a step back and said with a blushing face: "The tea is here, please use it while I'm going back first."

Room is available."

Seeing that Xu Chengyu couldn't find time to mark his homework for a while, Gu Yunji also stood up and left: "Then the student will go back and continue doing his homework."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyu nodded and did not stay with him any longer. He continued to focus on looking at the crickets in the jar.

In the evening, Xu Chengyu leaned back on the imperial chair, and while reading Gu Yunji's article, he praised: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so well written! The wording and power are much better than those of his senior brothers back then. Moreover, he is also proficient in foreign languages.

He is also good at arithmetic, so this apprentice of mine is very good."

Seeing this, Xu Shuhua smiled and said, "Then why don't you praise him in front of him? People can't hear you when you praise him behind his back."

Xu Chengyu disagreed: "What if he is proud of you when you praise him in person? Since he is a good seedling, he must train himself to avoid being ruined."

After saying that, he sat up again, looked at his daughter meaningfully and said, "I see you guys had a great time chatting today. What do you think of Gu Yunji?"

Xu Shuhua didn't react for a moment and said: "It's pretty good. Dad, your disciples are naturally better than others." Suddenly, she realized something and blushed, "He and I just discussed academics and nothing else.

Where are you thinking?" As she said that, she threw the cake in her hand to Xu Chengyu, turned around and ran back to the room.

Looking at Xu Shuhua's back, Xu Chengyu shook his head: "I really can't guess what the children today are thinking..." He put aside the thoughts in his mind and reached out to pick up a piece of pastry.
