Chapter 108 Care from Senior Brother

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Through conversation, Zhao Hao learned that Hua Shuyang had loved arithmetic since childhood.

    Arithmetic is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and the Hua family is the richest man in Wuxi, so they really need their children to be good at managing money.  Therefore, Hua Shuyang studied arithmetic with the famous mathematician and Xiuning businessman Cheng Dawei in his spare time.  In addition, his talent was far beyond ordinary people, and he quickly read all the ancient works he could find such as "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Arithmetic Collection", and "Zhu Shu".

    But there are many things he doesn¡¯t understand, such as Tianyuan Technique and Four-Yuan Technique Young Master Hua is confused and confused, and he still can¡¯t understand it even if he asks for advice everywhere.  Cheng Dawei was already considered a top mathematician in the world, but he still could not answer Hua Shuyang's questions.

    Since the Song Dynasty abolished the "Ming Suan Ke" from the imperial examinations, the once brilliant arithmetic in our country has gradually declined. By this dynasty, only daily applications are left, and few people have devoted themselves to studying this subject.  Moreover, most of the great mathematicians in our history were good at arithmetic and solving equations, and were far ahead of the world in calculating specific problems. However, they only regarded mathematics as an application and an interest, and lacked speculation on the deeper things in mathematics. Naturally,  It cannot be axiomatic.

    "Axiomatization is necessary for future generations to systematically study mathematics and conduct in-depth research.  Without this step, it will always be difficult to enter the door of mathematics; we can only look up to the achievements of our predecessors and be puzzled

    Until Hua Shuyang saw the book "Elementary Mathematics", he suddenly felt that he had found the key to answer those difficult questions.  He saw from the book that the author had sorted out a complete system of subjects. As long as he followed the author and learned all the way, not only would his questions be easily solved, but he would also become a master of mathematics.

    What fascinates him even more is that in this book, any assertion can be affirmed or denied, and this kind of argument is rational and objective, completely unaffected by any sophistry and authority, and can accept any questioning and refutation!

    This is very different from traditional Confucianism.  Confucian scholars could only succumb to Song Confucianism's annotations of the saints' words, and those with a little ability to think would inevitably have doubts.  So the rebellious Xinxue came into being, but Xinxue still couldn't prove that it was right, and it still followed the old path of idealism.

    Hua Shuyang had a bold idea. If he could base his knowledge on mathematics on the basis of mathematics, use mathematical methods to study the world, and then axiomize it, he would not be able to find a solution that could stand anyone's test.  The absolute truth?

    No matter how proud Hua Shuyang is, he cannot resist this temptation.  So he made up his mind that even if his father-in-law refused to let him in, he would still become his disciple!

    ¡°My wife is married anyway, so what are you afraid of?

    The worst case scenario is that you will kneel on the washboard

    ??~~

    The two of them are dedicated to becoming a disciple, and the other is willing to accept a disciple. It can be said that they are like a raging fire.

    Zhao Hao pretended for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Originally, I didn't plan to accept any more disciples, but firstly, Wu Yang said a lot of good things for you; secondly, there are really not many scholars in the world who are willing to learn mathematics.  In order to prevent this knowledge from being lost, I will make an exception and accept you."

    "That's great!" Hua Shuyang was extremely pleasantly surprised. He had heard Wang Wuyang say that he almost fainted before, so he was pitied by his master and became a disciple of Nile.  Unexpectedly, it was my turn, but I only knelt for an hour

    It seems that I am more popular with Master than Sixth Brother

    Hua Shuyang happily bowed to Zhao Hao four times, then stood up to pay homage to his senior brother Wang Wuyang.

    Wang Wuyang was still a little bit dissatisfied at first, thinking to himself, why didn¡¯t Master make things difficult for him?  But when he heard that Hua Shuyang changed his name to 'senior brother', he suddenly came to his senses.

    No matter how many disciples Master accepts in the future, I am still the founding senior brother, and they all have to respect me!

    Thinking about it like this, Wang Wuyang regained his bright smile, smiled and helped Hua Shuyang, who was bowing, and said: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will teach you well."

    "Thank you, senior brother" Hua Shuyang thought that Wang Wuyang was just saying something for the occasion.  Who would have expected that this senior brother would actually be serious

    After lunch that day, it was time for Zhao Hao to take a nap.

    Hua Shuyang originally wanted to find a place to relax for a while, but Wang Wuyang took him to Gao Wu's room and asked him to change out of the coquettish hibiscus brocade robe and put on a large woven short robe with narrow sleeves like his own.

    Hua Shuyang fiddled with the narrow cuffs and couldn't help but said with a curious smile: Are you going to ride and shoot?  ¡°I haven¡¯t worn this style very often.¡±

    "Being neatly dressed is not only convenient for riding and shooting, but also convenient for work." Wang Wuyang threw a rag to Hua Shuyang and said: "Wipe the furniture, tabletops, bedsides, and window sills in all rooms, and don't make any noise.  , disturbing the master during his lunch break."

    ? ??Ah, do you still have to work?  "Hua Shu Yangjun's face was full of surprise. He is the richest man in Wuxi and the son of Taishi Hua, but he has never touched Yang Chun Shui.

    "Nonsense, didn't you see everything that day?" Wang Wuyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "After I entered the house, I worked every day and never had a day off."

    After saying that, he lay down on Gao Wu's bed, stretched himself and said, "You have someone to work for me"

    Gao Wu would go to the front to help at this time. Wang Wuyang happened to be occupying the magpie's nest and took the opportunity to stare for a while.

    "You" Only then did Hua Shuyang know that what Wang Wuyang said that day was true. Looking at the rag in his hand, he still asked with some reluctance: "Can I let the book boy do it?"

    "No, Master said that only by doing things personally and practicing it can you hone your character." Wang Wuyang shook his head decisively.

    Hua Shuyang asked dejectedly: "I have to do all the sweeping the courtyard, serving tea and water, rubbing my shoulders and back, washing and picking vegetables?"

    "The same thing is indispensable." Wang Wuyang said with his eyes closed contentedly: "How can I get rid of the arrogance in you if I don't do this? How can I help you find the heart of innocence if I don't do this? How can I stop being impetuous if I don't do this?"

    "Uh, okay" Hua Shuyang made sense after thinking about it. After all, Wang Wuyang was also the son of the Wang family. He could put down his body to do the work. There was no reason why he couldn't do it.  Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be looked down upon by Master?

    Thinking of this, he picked up the basin, took the rag, and started working.

    ??~~

    An hour later, as the master was about to wake up, Wang Wuyang also stretched out from the Gaowu room and saw Hua Shuyang still wiping the window sill.

    He reached out and wiped the place where Hua Shuyang had just passed, then showed him his finger and said, "There is still dust, it has not been wiped clean."

    "This is outside, are you taking it so seriously?" Hua Shuyang rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "It's been raining all day, how can I clean it up?"

    "Do you think I'm just asking you to work?" Wang Wuyang put on the airs of a senior brother and lectured: "This is cultivation, do you understand?"

    "I study mathematics, not sweeping and wiping the floor!" Hua Shuyang was so angry that he threw the rag to the ground.

    "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?" But Zhao Hao was standing at the door with his hands behind his back at some unknown moment.

    Hearing these words, Qiaoqiao almost lost his temper. Speaking of laziness, is there anyone in Caijiaxiang, no, in Jinling City, who can compare with you, Mr. Zhao?

    Why do you have the nerve to educate your disciples like this?

    ¡°Unexpectedly, Hua Shuyang showed an expression of being taught, bowed and picked up the rag and said: "Master, I was wrong"

    "It's okay to admit your mistake and work hard." Zhao Hao also didn't expect that his words would have such weight in the second apprentice's heart, and he was embarrassed to pretend it for a while.

    He said warmly to Hua Shuyang: "Since you are going to take the provincial examination, don't be distracted by mathematics for the time being. First, you and Wu Yang will study and write. If you can pass the exam, I will teach you "Elementary Mathematics"."  "

    "Yes, Master." Hua Shuyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly felt more energetic at work.

    "Master, didn't you also let me win Jieyuan" Wang Wuyang heard this and said in panic: "There is only one Jieyuan?"

    "Then it depends on which of you has the ability." Zhao Hao said with a smile, then glared at him and said, "Don't bully your junior brother in the future. Fellow disciples should be friendly and help each other, remember?"

    "Yes, Master." Wang Wuyang was naturally more submissive than Hua Shuyang.

    "You know, why don't you go pick vegetables quickly!" Zhao Hao waved his hand and drove Wang Wuyang to the kitchen.

    "Actually, we don't need their help." Qiaoqiao served Zhao Hao a plate of longan and whispered: "Originally, one was fine, but now with two apprentices working, I am about to lose my job."

    "Don't worry, they don't know how to cook." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted Qiaoqiao and said, "If you really have nothing to do, you can help me peel the longan."

    "What a beautiful idea!" Qiaoqiao reached out and hit Zhao Hao on the head, turned around and ran away.

    Zhao Hao smiled and sat back on the chair. While peeling the crystal clear longan, he looked at the rainbow quietly appearing in the western sky. He couldn't help but feel a little drunk.
