Qiu Wuhen smiled slightly and said: "Okay, now I will teach you the multiplication table, can you do it? Can you know the three-seven-twenty-one table?"

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan also looked confused.

They didn't learn mathematics in private schools, but they did learn basic addition and subtraction, but they basically didn't know how to do multiplication and division. They also didn't learn the most basic mathematics such as the multiplication table, so for them

He said that as long as you don't study these things specifically, there is no point in learning them, so you spend all your time on eight-legged essays.

Qiu Wuhen first wrote one to ten in Arabic numerals and asked, "Do you know these numbers?"

Several people looked at Qiu Wuhen and said, "What is this?"

"These are my basic arithmetic symbols, from one to ten. You have to learn my method to mark numbers, and then do addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and more complex arithmetic. This will be more convenient. Otherwise, it will be tiring to use bamboo sticks to set up equations.

I’m exhausted. Once you learn Arabic numerals, arithmetic will be easy and simple. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so today I’ll learn how to write Arabic numerals. I’ll do a spot check tomorrow. Once you know how to do it, I’ll teach you the next step of arithmetic.”

Fei Wudan timidly said to Qiu Wuhen: "Sir, is learning this really useful for writing eight-part essays?"

"I said it worked, but I can't help you if you don't believe me. Let me tell you this, I'm called a child prodigy. I was admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve. Why am I so good? It's because I learned arithmetic."

In fact, Qiu Wuhen didn't know how old the poor scholar he possessed was admitted as a scholar, and they didn't know anyway. Of course, these people didn't know Qiu Wuhen's life experience, and they immediately looked at him with envy:

"You were admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve. What a genius!"

Fei Wutong said again: "Then why didn't you pass the Juren or Jinshi examination?"

Qiu Wuhen shook his head and said: "My parents passed away. I have to go home to attend the funeral. How can I have time to attend the examination? There is no way. I am busy all day long to fill my stomach, so how can I have any money to pay for it?"

Rushing for the exam requires money. Those of you who have enough food and clothing to open your mouth, how do you know how difficult life is? Haven't you heard the saying that a hero can't be stumped for a penny?

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were a little embarrassed to be robbed by Qiu Wuhen's words.

Chuncan looked at Qiu Wuhen with sympathy: "Oh, Mr. Qiu, it turns out that your life experience is so miserable. If you were from a wealthy family, you would have been named the number one scholar by now."

"That's right! I'm the one who's talking about bad luck. Back then, my family had no money and nothing to live on, so why talk about fame? I had no choice but to endure hardship and become the son-in-law of the Su family. Unexpectedly, the Su family's business suffered losses and they lost money.

I lost all my money, so much so that the dream of the Su family to help me take part in the scientific examination was shattered."

Chuncan said: "Mr. Qiu, you are so pitiful. How about we do this instead? You help us get admitted as a scholar, and we will help you go to Wenjiang to take the provincial examination together. We will cover all your food and accommodation. Do you think that's okay?"

The two brothers Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan also said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Qiu, as long as you help us pass the examination, we will cover all the expenses for your provincial examination."

Qiu Wuhen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, but to be honest, I still want to rely on myself. I can tutor you, and I can also work hard to help you to see if you can be admitted as a scholar. But as the saying goes, it depends on people to make things happen.

, I really don’t have the ability to say that I can definitely help you get admitted as a scholar, but I will try my best. After all, fame depends on ability on the one hand, and also requires a lot of luck on the other."

What Qiu Wuhen said was true. Even if you help someone get a wife, there is no guarantee that they will have a son! No matter how outstanding a gentleman is, he cannot guarantee that his students will be able to take the imperial examination and be named on the gold list.

Several people nodded.

Qiu Wuhen said to Chuncan: "Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise, tell me something, and help me solve the case."

Fei Wutong hurriedly asked Chuncan what was going on. Chuncan then told him what he had just promised.

These people had previously studied in the yamen school, so they all knew about the seven students. After hearing this, they started chattering.

Fei Wudan said: "That Zhang Dalang is a complete bully. He is very strong in school and beats people at every turn. Except for me, he dare not hit. He has bullied other male students to some extent, including his younger brother.

Moreover, he liked to use stones to hit people, and he had broken the heads of several students. Because his grandfather was a squire in the county, and his family had some money, they paid some money to settle the matter, and others did not dare to do anything to him.

Several students were so beaten by him that they no longer dared to come to school in the Yamen."

"So this time he was beaten to death by a cheetah and he deserved it. The cheetah was also bullied severely by him. This time he organized a so-called outing. I know the inside story. Although the fat man was the one who started it, he was actually instigating it from behind.

Because he knew that if he was the one who took the lead, the two girls Meifeng and Yinchai would never go. But Fatty is a good old man and the oldest in the school. His family also has some money and he is willing to help others. Many of his classmates have received it.

He supported me, including Meifeng. Meifeng is the most beautiful girl in the school, and many male classmates like her, including Zhang Dalang and Fatty, and of course others."

Chuncan looked at him sideways and added abruptly: "What about you? Don't you ever like her? I can see the way you look at her is weird every time."

Fei Wutong immediately said: "Yes, my cousin likes beauties the most. I heard him say that he likes Meifeng."

"I do not have it……"

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said, "Don't go too far, let's talk about Zhang Dalang and the others first."

Fei Wudan said: "She is good-looking, and I only looked at her more because she was good-looking. Normally, I never thought about liking her at all. This time they went on an excursion, and Fatty recruited everyone in the school

I wanted to organize more people. However, it was freezing cold and many people were unwilling to go. In the end, there were only seven of them. I know that Meifeng actually didn’t want to go, but the fat man agreed that if Meifeng wanted to go with him,

He will give Meifeng’s family a bag of charcoal. If they have a bag of charcoal to keep warm during the Chinese New Year, it will be solved.”
