Chapter 47 second quarter

After finishing the second journey, Sang Chongguo said to Shi Yue with a smile: "Today, do you want to go to Zhang Ba's house or to the Baxian Building? It's too cold in this damn weather." Shi Yue shook his head with a smile, and said: "Forget it, Changqing, tonight I have to clean up Ercheng." "The dragon has nine sons, but the sons are different. Cheng Hao is amiable and respectable, but Cheng Yi is really respected. Why don't I give Cheng Hao the wind, and Zi Ming will give Cheng Yi the wind." Sang Chongguo teased. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, if it gets out, you'll be in big trouble. Cheng Yi can't take a joke." Shi Yue said half-jokingly half-seriously.

Sang Chongguo asked curiously, "Do you know Cheng Yi well?" Shi Yue accidentally slipped his mouth again, smiled wryly in his heart, shrugged and said, "You can tell by his appearance." "Yes. But speaking of it, he lives with Shao Yong, and Shao Yong is a person who likes to joke the most." Sang Chongguo suddenly remembered. Shi Yue took a deep look at Sang Chongguo, and sighed, "Let them resolve the conflicts among Neo Confucians themselves." Sang Chongguo was amused by his demeanor, and laughed heartily, saying, "Ziming, you and Pan Zhaolin have been together for a long time, and it's really dark to be close to ink."

"Hey, you have wronged me. Can I run over and tell Shao Yong that Cheng Yi is no joke, you are always restrained, and you must avoid his edge?" Shi Yue said with a full face of grievance. "Never mind, anyway, anyway, Shao Yong is proficient in the Book of Changes, he will definitely be able to predict the future, and we don't have to worry about him." Sang Chongguo laughed, and for some reason, Sang Chongguo, who was influenced by the Shu School, was very sensitive to people like Cheng Yi. , which is a bit incompatible. "Speaking of fortune-telling, has the math teacher Shen Kuo hired come?" Shi Yue asked.During this period of time, he has been troubled by the matter of inviting a teacher.

"Don't worry about arithmetic. Your "Preliminary Arithmetic" and "Preliminary Geometry" are only slightly inspiring to these people invited by Shen Cunzhong, but the content is too simple. I have discussed with Shen Cunzhong and plan to publish a new one. Shen Cunzhong said that Su Song, Jia Xian, Liu Yi, Jiang Zhou, and Wei Pu all agreed to help. Although Wei Pu is blind, his arithmetic skills are even inferior to Shen Cunzhong's. Shao Yong also admires it. It won't come out until March next year, but at the latest after the Yuan Festival, "Zhou Bi", "Grandson", "Five Caos", "Ji Gu", "Sea Island", "Nine Chapters", "Xia Hou Yang", "Zhang Qiujian" and more than a dozen kinds of arithmetic scriptures will be published one after another." After Sang Chongguo finished speaking, he immediately complained: "Mathematics is not a problem, but there is a big problem with Gewu and natural history. I can find a teacher to take part-time classes, but Gewu can only rely on Shen Kuo and you. Although some arithmetic teachers are very interested in Gewu, they can’t quench their thirst.”

"Don't worry, there will be no second grade until September next year, and the problem will be solved by then." Shi Yue felt that Sang Chongguo's worries were unfounded, and he was never afraid that China would not have talent. "Forget it, you remember to go home. Uncle Tang wrote a letter and praised you again, saying that his cotton spinning business has made a lot of money this year... Also, my sister brought you some paintings, and I will send them to you later. you go there." ...
