After carefully recalling what happened just now, even Ruyi knew the tricks, which made Li Yi, who thought he knew her very well, felt tired.
Fortunately, I still stuck to the bottom line just now and was not fooled by the bait she threw out. If I had been careless just now and exposed my inner thoughts as a man, I wonder what would have happened?
He doesn't know, even he can't guess what Ruyi is like now.
The person coming from the palace was still an eunuch, but he was not known to Li Yi. He stood upright in the front hall with a straight face. When he saw Li Yi walking in from the outside, he took a step forward. There was no need.
The emotional voice said: "Your Majesty once decreed that Mr. Li Xianzi teach arithmetic to all the princes and princesses. Now the doctor of arithmetic of the Imperial Academy is on leave due to illness. In order not to delay the lessons of the princes and princesses, Mr. Li Xian will follow me into the palace now.
."
"Now?" Li Yi frowned. He was in such a hurry that he didn't want anyone to take a break. He didn't even have any preparations for lessons. What was he going to say when he entered the palace?
The eunuch urged with a straight face: "Your Highnesses cannot be delayed in their studies. County Master Li should hurry up."
"I know, I know, just wait a moment, I'll be out soon." Li Yi waved his hand, turned back and said a few words to Ruyi, then walked out quickly, looked at the eunuch and said lightly: "Let's go."
A carriage has long been parked outside the door. Considering the distance from here to the palace, half an hour's carriage ride is enough.
A group of little princesses and princes are about seven to ten years old. If they were in later generations, their math level would normally be as high as the second or third grade of elementary school. However, considering that they have never taken a math class, they don’t know about previous arithmetic classes.
What it was like, Li Yi decided to start teaching from the most basic first.
Of course, textbooks are not a problem. There are a complete range of textbooks from kindergarten to university textbooks. The textbooks of later generations have all been professionally certified. The scientific ones cannot be more scientific, so you can just pick out a book.
He showed his waist badge at the entrance of the palace and was led in by the eunuch. The last time he came out of the palace, Li Yi had remembered some of the directions. The place where the princes and princesses went to school was in the Bowen Hall, and they would pass by Shangshi on the way.
Bureau, the distance between the two is not far.
When they reached the entrance of Bowen Hall, the eunuch said something and stood outside the hall waiting, "Mr. Li, there is still a quarter of an hour before the princesses and princes do their homework. You go in first."
Bowen Hall is a small palace. When Li Yi walked into the hall, he saw a series of low tables and tables placed in the hall. Maybe it was because the time was not up yet, but there was no one in the hall - only one sleeping on the table in front.
Fat man.
Judging from the back, the little fat man should be about the same age as Li Yingcai. In terms of body shape, he is slightly inferior to him. He is lying on the table and sleeping soundly, snoring slightly.
Perhaps it was Li Yi's footsteps that woke him up. The little fat man suddenly jumped up from his position and said loudly: "Disciple's rules, sage's teachings, first filial piety and brotherhood, second sincerity... I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep!"
After saying this, he found that there was no one around him, and then he remembered that today was not the old man's class. He just wanted to lie down on the table and sleep for a while before the boring arithmetic class started.
Since he wasn't sleeping in that bad old man's class, and he wouldn't go to his father to complain about him, there was nothing to be afraid of. The little fat man turned his head with an angry look on his face, glaring at the guy who disturbed his sweet dreams.
, "You are..., ah, it's you!"
Seeing the extra person in the hall, the angry look on the little fat man's face immediately disappeared and he asked: "Hey, are you here to make delicious food for us?"
The last time Shouning invited them to eat that weird food, he still couldn't forget it. The royal chef in the palace tried several times and couldn't make it taste like that. He had been thinking about it for two days.
"No." Li Yi shook his head and said.
Asking this kind of question as soon as they meet, no wonder this prince can grow so "strong" at such a young age.
The little fat man slapped the table, pretended to be majestic, and said: "I am King Li Han of Jin. I order you to go to the Shangshi Bureau immediately and cook the same meal as last time..."
Li Yi looked around the surroundings and was indifferent to the words of His Highness the Young Prince of Jin.
Last time it was because of the old emperor's decree and the pride of a tsundere loli. But now it's different. He is not the royal cook and has no obligation to cook for them.
"You, if you dare not listen to me, believe it or not, I will let my father beat you!" Seeing Li Yi's indifference, the little fat man raised his eyebrows and threatened.
Li Yi has rich experience in dealing with naughty children. Prince Xiong is just a type of naughty child and is nothing to be afraid of.
As a prince, Li Han always wanted wind and rain in the palace. In addition to fearing his father, the eldest sister, Shouning, Li Li who could bite, that bad old man, and other people.
A bad old man, afraid of - who else have you been afraid of?
In short, a cook from the Shangshi Bureau dared to disobey his order, which made His Royal Highness the King of Jin very angry.
"How dare you disrespect me? Just wait, I will tell your father today!" Li Han gritted his teeth and looked at Li Yi and said angrily.
If you don't give him a good beating, you won't be able to relieve your anger, but you can't hit him too hard, otherwise who will give him good food?
Not long after Li Han finished speaking, seven or eight figures poured in from outside the door, men and women, headed by Princess Shouning.
"Ah, why are you here?" Princess Shouning looked surprised when she saw Li Yi.
Some of the princes and princesses have met Li Yi, but they only thought that he was the cook of Shangshi Bureau. Those who did not have hot pot with Shouning last time saw him for the first time.
The eunuch came over and said with a flattering smile: "Your Royal Highness, County Prince Li will be your Royal Highnesses' arithmetic teacher from now on."
Li Yida glanced at him meaningfully. This guy's face was ashen when he was in front of him, but he smiled so brightly when he faced the princess. This was naked discrimination.
"Sir?" Jin Wang Li Han was stunned for a moment, then looked dull.
When will the chefs from Shangshi Bureau become their husbands?
Princess Shouning didn't care about whether she was a husband or not. She said with a surprised look on her face: "You will teach me how to make hot pot later. I didn't learn it last time."
"We'll talk about it later." Li Yi nodded, looked at a group of princesses and princes and said, "Since all your highnesses are here, let's get started."
Perhaps it is precisely because of the special status of the princesses and princes that they abide by the rules more. They do not need to be tempted by stories. They all return to their seats and sit upright. Even Li Han, who wanted to slap him just now, did not
Do anything outrageous again.
First, Shouning was asked to introduce the princess and prince present. After Li Yi took notes, he asked about the progress of her arithmetic class.
The answer they got was that they were still in the learning stage of Arabic numerals, and the previous arithmetic teacher was teaching them how to convert numbers written in Chinese characters into Arabic numerals.
In other words, their mathematical skills are still in their most primitive stages.
Blackboards and chalks don't exist in this world. Most of the courses they need to learn are through lectures. However, mathematics cannot be explained with just one mouth.
Fortunately, the former arithmetic teacher also understood this principle. He pasted the white paper on the erected wooden board and wrote with a brush, which was similar to the blackboard of later generations.
"Before we start teaching, let's do a basic test first." Li Yi turned around and wrote on the white paper with a brush.
Thirty-six, four hundred and fifty-one, six thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, eighty-nine thousand five hundred and sixty-three, seven hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and sixty-seven...
When all the princes and princesses were still wondering what the probing test was, Li Yi spoke again, "Write these numbers on paper using Arabic numerals..."
Li Yi looked at Li Han who was looking around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, come up and write..."
