Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 34 The Apprentice's Daily Life

"These are the articles written by your seniors. You should write another copy according to these topics, and submit at least one to me every day."

"Go back and study these books carefully, and write a few impressions after reading them." Xu Chengyu said while passing the books to Gu Yunji, "These are the imperial court newspapers in recent months. You have to be clear about current affairs, so you won’t be shy in the examination room. And these, these..."

Looking at the books and articles piled up in his arms, Gu Yunji felt a headache.He still thought that Xu Chengyu wanted to give him something good, but it was all homework!This is the first day after apprenticeship, the mules of the production team are not so tired, right?

"Teacher, teacher, wait..." Gu Yunji poked his head out of the book with difficulty, "Is it a bit too much? The students are dull, and I'm afraid they won't be able to digest your heart of loving disciple for a while."

Seeing that Gu Yunji couldn't hold it in his arms anymore, Xu Chengyu finally stopped his hand and continued to assign homework: "Well, then take less for now, and I'll get you new ones after you finish everything."

Take less?Such a big pile, how can it be called less?Fearing that life will not be easy in the future, Gu Yunji suddenly felt deeply worried about his future.

Xu Chengyu didn't seem to notice his strange emotion at all, took a sip of tea on his own, and said unhurriedly: "When I was young, my teacher assigned me much more homework than this, and his old man still It is extremely strict, but if you complain, you have to add some extra homework."

"Your life is much easier than mine was. Since you are young, I have given you some relief. Your seniors didn't have this kind of treatment before."

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

"Father, you can see that you've stunned others." Xu Shuhua walked out with a smile on his face, "You said it yourself, when you were young, you were proficient in walking birds and fighting crickets, and you carried firecrackers up the mountain every day to hunt. As hard as you said."

Xu Chengyu took it for granted: "If I don't say it seriously, can he go back to do his homework so obediently? Young people, you should suffer more."

Xu Shuhua exposed him mercilessly: "Didn't you also endure hardships when you were young? Even the disciples you accepted in the past have never given so much homework to others."

"Isn't that paying extra attention to him?" Xu Chengyu said while picking up a piece of pastry and stuffing it into his mouth, not at all as serious as he was just now. Potential, so that we can be more promising in the future.”

As Xu Chengyu said, when Gu Yunji went back, he really finished the homework of the day conscientiously, and sent it to him for review before sunset.

"This blade of grass can't poke its mouth all the time, you have to tease the tentacles and stimulate it to rush forward, yes, that's it..."

"Hey, stop it, it's fighting, why are you pulling it!"

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

"Shanchang, why is mine not moving? No matter how I poke it, it doesn't respond." Su Qi pinched a thin grass stalk with his fingers, and fiddled with the cricket in the pot for several times without any movement, so he couldn't help wondering.

Xu Chengyu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said, "Look at how flat this belly is, you didn't feed it, did you?"

"Need to feed?" Su Qi suddenly opened the door to the new world, "No wonder the crickets I caught before couldn't fight for a day or two at most, so they were hungry."

Xu Chengyu was about to cry stupidly, poked his head and said, "It's no wonder it can fight if it doesn't eat! How do you know to eat three meals a day on time?"

Su Qi was not annoyed either, he stared greedily at Xu Chengyu's cricket, and said with a playful smile: "Shan Zhang, I think your big and fat cricket, why don't you give it to me?"

"Beautiful idea! I've kept this one for a long time, and it died within two days if I gave it to you?"

"Who said that, I will take good care of it! What's more, you said, you taught me how to fight crickets, but I passed No. 20 and third in the exam! Why don't you give me something more? "

"Teacher, I have 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, without raising his head, he said: "Well, let's put it there first, and I'll look at it when I'm free."

Assigning a lot of homework to the students, but he himself is fighting crickets, but who called Xu Chengyu the teacher and himself the apprentice?Gu Yunji had no choice but to put the homework on the table as promised.

When Gu Yunji was doing his homework, he found on the table a copy of "The Elements of Geometry" that he had seen in Xu Shuhua's hand that day. The book was spread out, and there was a stack of paper beside it. After the translation, the paper was smeared, as if 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 it absorbedly, so he walked over involuntarily.

"But what's wrong?"

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

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua read it carefully again. After connecting the context, he found that the translation into inner angles was indeed more coherent, including the problems that bothered him before were also solved.

Although I knew that Gu Yunji knew something about foreign languages, I didn't expect him to delve into it so deeply that it was much higher than my own language level.Xu Shuhua couldn't help but look at Gu Yunji with admiration, and said: "I don't want Mr. Gu to have a lot of research on foreign languages, and he has been taught. Then I wonder what you think of this theorem in the book?"

"Miss Xu, thank you." Gu Yunji humbly said a few words, and then explained to her, "This theorem is actually very simple, it is..." Xu Shuhua moved his head closer in order to see clearly, and gradually, the two People are getting closer and closer.

After listening to Gu Yunji's explanation, Xu Shuhua was enlightened: "Mr. Gu is good at writing and is proficient in foreign languages. He even has such a deep understanding of arithmetic. He is really a young talent."

"Really?" Xu Chengyu listened for a long while, and casually said, "Then you can communicate more in the future, so that Shuhua is not always thinking about it for a long time alone."

As soon as Xu Chengyu made a sound, Xu Shuhua realized that he was too obsessed with listening to Gu Yunji's explanation, and the distance with him was a little too close, so he quickly took a step back, blushing and said: "The tea is here, please take it easy, I'll go back first room."

Seeing that Xu Chengyu would not have time to mark his homework for a while, Gu Yunji also stood up and said goodbye: "The student has also gone back to continue doing his homework."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyu nodded and didn't keep him any longer, continuing to focus on the crickets in the pot.

In the evening, Xu Chengyu leaned back on the grand teacher's chair, and while reading Gu Yunji's article, he praised: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's really well written! This wording, this power, is much better than his senior brothers back then. He is also proficient in foreign languages, Knowing how to do arithmetic, my apprentice is amazing."

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

Xu Chengyu didn't take it seriously: "What if he is proud if he praises in person? Since he is a good seedling, he has to exercise even more, so as not to be raised and useless."

After speaking, he sat up again, looked at his daughter meaningfully and said, "I see that you guys had a great conversation today, what do you think of Gu Yunji?"

Xu Shuhua didn't react for a while, and said: "It's not bad, Daddy, your disciples are naturally better than others." Suddenly, she realized something, and her pretty face flushed, "He and I just discussed academics and nothing else. Where are you thinking!" As she said, she threw the pastry 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 figure out what the children are thinking now..." He put aside the thoughts in his mind, and reached out to pick up a piece of pastry, "Forget it, there is no shadow, it's okay to think about it now." It's too early, just let it be-"
