Chapter 391 Brother Shan, Don’t Drive Me Away
The two teachers were not very knowledgeable, but Sun Shan said it didn't matter, they could just find a famous teacher.
Then Master Ma and Master Yu said that they had always been marginal masters in the academy.
When other scholars discussed academic subjects, they were unable to go deep into the subject; when they discussed mathematics, other scholars were unable to go deep into the subject either.
As a result, the two masters Ma and Yu gradually drifted away from the other masters and did not have close friendships with them.
Master Ma sighed and said, "Sun Shan, how to find a learned master is up to you. I can't help you."
Master Yu said more directly: "I also want to help you find a good master, but unfortunately they all ignore me. There is no other way, Sun Shan, you can only find one yourself."
The implicit meaning is that these two mathematics teachers are "skinny nerds" who only know how to study mathematics, are not sociable, and cannot meet capable people.
Sun Shan was so angry that he vomited blood, more than three liters.
After many twists and turns, today he comes to challenge the master of mathematics, to challenge loneliness.
Master Ma and Master Yu are the "bad students" among many masters.
Sun Shan couldn't help but think sadly: Is he destined to be with a poor student?
For example, his dormitory neighbor Yu Nanwang was a top student in school, but they could never talk to each other. Instead, he played with the poor students Qian Yingyang and Zhu Pengyun.
For example, he had his eyes on the professor of "The Book of Changes", but the professor looked down on him. Now he has finally been noticed by Master Ma and Master Yu, but these two masters are of no use to him at all.
Sun Shan couldn't help but think sadly: Is it possible that he is destined to never find a famous teacher?
Sun Shan looked at the two mathematics teachers expressionlessly and decided not to play with them.
He said very politely: "Master Ma, Master Yu, it's getting dark, I should go back, let's talk another day."
Mr. Ma and Mr. Yu are immersed in the ocean of mathematics, so they appear to be honest and simple.
I couldn't feel Sun Shan's disgust or disappointment at all.
Ma Fuzi nodded and said, "Okay, come to me after class tomorrow. I have several math problems to discuss with you. I have never been able to solve them, and now you are here, it's great."
Master Yu said cheerfully, "Old Ma, we have finally found a good candidate. Hehe, we have finally found a successor to our mathematics. It was right to come to the academy to teach. If we study behind closed doors, we will never find people who share the same ideals."
Master Ma agreed with this and said with a smile, "As long as we continue to teach in the academy, we will always meet students like Sun Shan who love mathematics and are good at it. Haha, our mathematics team will grow stronger one day."
Master Ma and Master Yu stroked their gray beards with satisfaction, without even thinking of asking Sun Shan for his opinion on whether he was willing to study mathematics with them.
They always thought that Sun Shan loved mathematics very much. If he didn’t love it, how could he learn it so well?
The prerequisite for learning mathematics is definitely because you like it.
Sun Shan bowed and prepared to leave: "Master, you should go back early as well. It will be hard to walk in the dark."
It's amazing that the two teachers, at their old age, are still studying so seriously. With such perseverance, why don't they continue to take the imperial examinations?
Master Ma and Master Yu thought that Sun Shan cared about them, and they laughed even more happily.
Master Ma said gently, "Ashan, you must study hard and strive to come to the court as soon as possible to speak for our mathematics. Haha, relying on a university scholar alone is far from enough. Ashan, you must work hard."
Master Yu echoed, "That's right, Ashan, study hard, pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, and enter the court and the cabinet so that you can speak for our mathematics. Whether mathematics can be carried forward or not, it depends on you in the future."
Sun Shan looked at Master Ma and Master Yu. Why did he feel that they were so stupid and naive?
Is Jinshi cabbage?
Is entering the cabinet like drinking water?
Can he, Sun Shan, do it?
How come the two masters have more confidence in Sun Shan than Sun Shan does?
I looked at the sky outside and touched my stomach, which was growling with hunger.
Sun Shan decided to forget what happened today and pretend that he had never met Master Ma and Master Yu.
His shoulders are too small to bear the weight of two huge mountains, Master Ma and Master Yu, nor can they accommodate the expectations of Master Ma and Master Yu.
Sun Shan was just about to take the first step.
Master Ma and Master Yu said from the back: "Ashan, come here after class tomorrow. We are waiting for you."
Sun Shan bowed, dragged his heavy feet, and walked away without looking back.
He came here to find a good teacher, not to be a burden.
The moon was sparse, the evening breeze was blowing, and Sun Shan's heart was dead silent.
He died before he could accomplish his mission, and had to bear such a heavy responsibility before he found a famous teacher. What evil had he done?
Thinking about how he was diligent, respectful to the elderly and loving the young in his previous life, he was a good young man.
In this life, I am a better young man than in the last life. Why can't I get what I want?
When we returned to the dormitory, Gui Ge'er had already lit the lamp.
Gui Ge'er heard footsteps outside and ran out quickly, asking worriedly, "Brother Shan, why are you here so late? I'm so worried about you. I want to go find you but I can't get in."
Sun Shan waved his hands, feeling very tired and not wanting to talk.
Gui Ge'er quickly fetched some water and asked Sun Shan to wash his face.
After washing his face, Gui Ge'er brought the food to him and asked with concern, "Brother Shan, what happened? Why did you come back so late?"
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's a little late to discuss academic matters with the Master."
Gui Ge'er breathed a long sigh of relief.
He knew that students and teachers would often forget to eat and sleep when discussing academic matters.
But this time it was too late, it was already dark, and we had to walk in the dark.
Gui Ge'er said again: "Brother Shan, I told Scholar Qian and Scholar Zhu that you are back. They just came to look for you and asked if you were back."
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Go and tell them so they won't worry."
After Sun Shan had dinner and took a shower, it was already late at night.
Gui Ge'er was busy running around, and Sun Shan called Gui Ge'er over.
Gui Ge'er asked in confusion: "Brother Shan, what's wrong? What happened?"
Sun Shan's face was very solemn. Gui Ge'er was not blind, so he could definitely see what was wrong.
He looked at Sun Shan anxiously, with his fingers crossed, feeling uneasy.
Sun Shan said coldly, "Gui, do you realize your mistakes today?"
Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Shan in confusion, not knowing where he had gone wrong. But Sun Shan said he was wrong, so he must have done something wrong.
Gui Ge'er immediately said, "Brother Shan, I know I was wrong."
Sun Shan choked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gui Ge'er hesitated and couldn't say anything.
He knew he was wrong, but he didn't know where.
Sun Shan is a scholar, the smartest person in Sunjia Village, but he is a stupid person, one of the stupid people in Sunjia Village. If a smart person says that a stupid person is wrong, then the stupid person must be wrong.
Gui Ge'er lowered his head and looked at Sun Shan secretly. He also wanted to know where he went wrong.
Sun Shan still had a cold face and said coldly, "Gui'er, trouble comes from the mouth, have you heard of it?"
Gui Ge'er nodded quickly: "I've heard of it, Brother Shan."
Sun Shan continued, "Do you remember what I said today?"
Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Shan in confusion.
Sun Shan said again: "How can you say that a student is better than the master?"
Gui Ge'er knelt down hurriedly and said anxiously: "Brother Shan, I know I was wrong. I will never speak nonsense again."
Sun Shan asked him to stand up. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he said in a slow tone, "The Master Yu I met today is a broad-minded master who does not bear grudges. If I had met a stingy master, he might have treated me badly in front of me but behind my back. Have you ever thought about this?"
Gui Ge'er hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Shan, I won't dare to speak nonsense again."
Sun Shan explained to Brother Gui in detail that he was Sun Shan's servant, and his every word and action represented Sun Shan.
If Gui Ge'er said something wrong, it would bring disaster to Sun Shan.
When you are out, there are some things you can say and some things you cannot say.
Today, such big talk is taboo.
Gui Ge'er said with red eyes: "Brother Shan, I know I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense in the future. If I don't understand, I will ask you in private."
After a pause, he begged, "Brother Shan, please don't chase me away. I want to be your book boy forever."
