Chapter 16: The Friendship of Half-Teacher

In the morning, in the study.

"See? Isn't it easy to use this kind of numbers to formulate calculations, and it's also very intuitive."

Fang Xing listed an addition formula with Arabic numerals, and then calculated it.

Ma Su held back the shock in his heart, and hurriedly came up with a calculation formula, and then...

"Three plus nine equals twelve!"

Seeing the smile on Ma Su's face, Fang Xing felt that he was too powerful.

"Brother Dehua, can my younger brother come in?"

Zhang Taishun? Fang Xing replied in astonishment, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Taishun slipped in familiarly. After seeing the books and Ma Su on the table, he said with a smile: "Brother Dehua, may I let my younger brother listen too?"

Fang Xing said with a face of reluctance: "Forget it, there is no distinction between teaching and learning. If you can learn it, then I will accept you as a student."

Ma Su looked stubbornly at Zhang Taishun who was dressed in rich and noble clothes.

"Master, this is your thing."

At this time, a big man came in outside, he first glanced at the study, and then handed the things in his hand to Zhang Taishun.

After the big man went out, Zhang Taishun unfolded the thing in his hand, it was a painting.

"Brother Dehua, these are Wang Shuming's pictures of studying in Spring Mountain. There are three pictures in total. They can be regarded as my younger brother's Shuxiu."

Fang Xing looked at the mountains and trees on the screen, even though he didn't have much appreciation, he still thought they could be heirlooms.

As for apprentices...

"Ahem!"

Fang Xing said slowly: "Taishun, I know you haven't been in Beiping for long, let's just learn from each other."

This guy was worried that Zhang Taishun's parents were the kind of old pedants. If he knew that he taught Zhang Taishun miscellaneous knowledge, he might not call him, so he simply didn't talk about recruiting students.

So the number of students increased to two, and Zhang Taishun had to learn it from the beginning, Fang Xing had to relearn the Arabic numerals again.

"Isn't this a big food number?"

Seeing Fang Xing skillfully writing numbers, Zhang Taishun was a little confused.

Dashi is the general term for Arabia in the early stage, so Fang Xing just said: "This method of counting is simple and straightforward. I personally think that Daming should learn this way of writing. It is a good thing for the country and the family."

Fang Xing then taught addition and subtraction, which was quite simple. The two 'students' were smart people, and they gradually figured out the way within a few strokes.

"Tomorrow I will teach you how to multiply and divide."

Fang Xing didn't ask Zhang Taishun how he knew he was teaching Ma Su, but simply arranged last night for them to come back the day after tomorrow.

In the evening, Zhang Taishun showed Master Cheng the results of today's study, but Master Cheng was confused by the plus and minus signs, and he didn't know why.

"Zheng He made three voyages to the West, so I have some knowledge of the Dashi counting method, but these symbols are not Dashi's. Could it be that Fang Dehua..."

A few tallow candles fully revealed the details of the study, and Zhang Taishun could clearly see the confusion on Master Cheng's face.

"Fang Dehua's imperial examinations are amazing, but he never expected that this person is actually a miscellaneous student...then..."

"Genius?"

"Fang Hongjian was only implicated and dismissed from office, so..."

...

Fang Xing doesn't care about being entangled by others, he is currently on a tree, his whole body is covered with a layer of tulle, and he is also wearing gloves.

"Master, be careful!"

"Husband, shall we go shopping?"

Fang Xing ignored the words below, he grabbed the beehive, and then saw a swarm of wild bees rushing out.

Of course, the wild bees will not be polite to the enemies who invade their homes.

"Buzz!"

The wild bees rushed towards Fang Xing, but were blocked by the tulle.

"Hahaha! I am indeed a genius!"

Fang Xing laughed loudly, put the honeycomb in a net bag, and tied it to his back.

Sliding down slowly under the harassment of wild bees.

Both Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai under the tree were forced to the side by the wild bees. The two of them were covered in white tulle, looking faintly.

As soon as Fang Xing stepped on the ground, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up!"

The three of them gradually went away under the chase of the wild bees, leaving behind laughter all over the place.

When Ma Su and Zhang Taishun came to Fang's house, they saw Fang Xing was frying bee pupae in the kitchen.

Squeezing Hua Niang, Zhang Taishun looked at the worms in the oil pan, his throat throbbed a few times, and he asked, "Brother Dehua, what is this?"

"Bee chrysalis, it's delicious."

Fang Xing saw that the fire was almost ready, so he quickly started to smoke the fire, and then used a colander—a stainless steel colander to scoop up the bee pupae.

"Come on, let's go to the study to eat."

After Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai clearly refused to participate in his blood drinking, Fang Xing had to enjoy a delicious meal of bee pupae alone.

"Can this be eaten?"

Both Zhang Taishun and Ma Su were a little confused, but when Fang Xing magically took out a bottle of liquor, Zhang Taishun was the first to defect.

"Brother Dehua, I think there is nothing in this world that cannot be eaten."

Zhang Taishun said flatteringly.

And when Fang Xing unscrewed the bottle cap, even the kid Ma Su twitched his nose and shouted, "Teacher, I think this bee pupae can still be eaten."

"Damn it! Two drunks!"

Fang Xing cursed with a smile, but he didn't feel any pain in his heart. Since the last time he rode a bicycle in the space and found the domestic dock warehouse, he no longer worried about the material problem.

As for how the Huaguo Wharf, which is thousands of miles away from the New York Wharf, was sucked in by the black hole at the same time, Fang Xing just gave up on this question after thinking for a while.

Live in the moment! This is Fang Xing's only thought at the moment.

"Try one?"

Zhang Taishun cunningly gave Ma Su a bee chrysalis, but Ma Su was not an idiot, of course he would not be fooled, so the two agreed to do it together.

"Crack!"

Very crisp taste, and then...

"nice!"

"Well, don't have a taste."

After eating the first one, the two put Fang Xing aside.

Fang Xing drank the wine alone, squinting at Zhang Taishun's eating.

The fellow was well-born, so he was absolutely flawless in etiquette.

After eating a meal of 'game', Zhang Taishun tentatively asked: "Brother Dehua, do you still want to take the imperial examination?"

Fang Xing shook his head, not even wanting to explain.

After Ma Su heard Zhang Taishun's words, he couldn't help glaring, thinking that my teacher is already in such a situation, and you still use this topic to stab him.

Zhang Taishun thought for a while and said, "Brother Dehua, my little brother has some contacts in his family, maybe we can cancel that..."

Ma Su opened his mouth wide, with joy in his eyes, wishing that Fang Xing would agree immediately.

"No need, I'm a little tired of the officialdom, and I don't want to be in fear day and night, Taishun, I appreciate your kindness."

Fang Xing refused without hesitation, it would be a stick if he agreed.

The current imperial examinations have a very strong taste of stereotyped writing. If he takes the exam according to his current level, he will probably become the second hero with a blank paper.

Zhang Taishun smiled, and didn't force himself, and reposted some recent new things.
