"From today onwards, you will learn how to build a wooden bicycle with me in the afternoon, and you will learn how to use symbols in the evening. "Asked Xun Ze to start arranging this week's study tasks for Gao Yu.

"The use of symbols?" Gao Yu asked suspiciously, "What's the use of this?"

"Punctuation. Asked Xun Ze to take a textbook and show it to Gao Yu, "You see this is a comma, this is a full stop, this is an exclamation mark, these symbols are added to the text, does it make the content of the book easier to understand." ”

"Teacher, I've seen these symbols a long time ago. Gao Yu said to Xun Ze, "But if this kind of thing is brought to us, it will be criticized by Shilin." ”

"Why?" said Xun Ze was a little puzzled.

"Because of the right to speak. Gao Yu looked like he had thought about this question before, and he replied, "It is precisely because Shilin has the right to interpret the classics of the sages that he is called Shilin." If punctuation is to be introduced, it is necessary to unify the interpretation of the canon of the sages. When the time comes, I am afraid that the various factions in the Shilin will sacrifice the students to me before the fight. ”

"You're smart. Yu Xunze looked at Gao Yu and said, "If you directly use these punctuation marks on Confucian classics, then it is estimated that you will be the first to die." But who made you use these books? ”

"Where is that used?" Gao Yu was a little confused.

"It's stupid in the script!" said Xun Ze, patting Gao Yu's head, "When you return to the capital from the border army in the future, you will immediately order the collection of the more popular scripts on the market, and then use punctuation marks to break sentences one by one." You can't touch the Confucian classics, but you can change these books as you like. When punctuation marks appear in front of people's eyes, there will naturally be people who will try to use these symbols to explain the Confucian classics, but then it will have nothing to do with you, after all, you invented it and only used it in the script. ”

"The student understood. Gao Yu then understood the meaning of being called Xunze.

If he invents punctuation marks, if he is used in the Confucian classics, some people will naturally stand up against him. But if he avoided the areas of concern of the scholars and instead used punctuation marks in places that did not seem to be in the limelight, then naturally no one would trouble him.

After all, although he raised the head, he did not light the fuse.

At most, when the scholars were fighting for the right to break sentences in Confucian classics, they secretly scolded Gao Yu, the initiator.

And when all kinds of classic sentence breaking methods are determined, everyone may begin to appreciate Gao Yu's credit for inventing punctuation.

"Sure enough, the teacher is smart. Gao Yu said, "I didn't think I could do this." ”

"Because you're too timid. Calling Xunze motioned for Gao Yu to go out with him to learn how to make a wooden bicycle.

Two days later, at the entrance of the classroom of the cram school.

"Hello teacher. Chi Yihan said hello to Xun Ze.

"In the future, just call me teacher, don't call me by my last name, it sounds weird. Yu Xunze asked while motioning for Chi Yihan to go inside, "Have you done all the exercises assigned to you yesterday?" ”

"It's all done. Chi Yihan said as he took out an exercise book from his school bag.

"I want to see it. Asked Xun Ze to signal Chi Yihan to sit down first, and he took a cursory look at Chi Yihan's ideas and methods for doing the questions, and then frowned and said, "You did all this yourself?"

"Yes, teacher. Chi Yihan looked at the appearance of Xun Ze, and mistakenly thought that Xun Ze was not satisfied with her mathematical level, so he cautiously asked Xun Ze, "Is the foundation too poor?" ”

"No, no, no, it's the opposite. Asked Xunze to look at Chi Yihan's workbook and said, "The thinking is very clear, and the solution method is very concise." According to your level, let alone passing the math exam of the Sword Pavilion, even if you take the college entrance examination, you can get at least 120 points for 150 points. ”

"However, my score on the Sword Pavilion math test was only fifty-five, which was five points short of the passing mark. Chi Yihan said aggrievedly.

"Do you remember what the exam questions in your sword hall are?" asked Xun Ze.

"I only remember a few questions that are more impressive. Chi Yihan said and wrote down the math problems he still remembered on the homework book.

"Tell me about the ideas for these questions. Called Xun Ze said to Chi Yihan.

Twenty minutes later, Xun Ze sat at the table and was a little puzzled. The difficulty of the math test questions in the Sword Hall is indeed greater than that of the college entrance examination, but it is not much bigger.

In other words, if you can get a score of 123 in the college entrance examination, then it stands to reason that you can successfully pass the math exam of the Sword Pavilion. Could it be that this year's math exam in the Sword Pavilion is a little more difficult, so Chi Yihan didn't pass the exam?

Asked Xun Ze to guess that there might be some shady scenes, but this matter could not be solved by himself, so he asked Xun Ze not to think about it anymore.

"Teacher, we're back. When Xun Ze was teaching Chi Yihan math problems, Li Bai, Gao Yu, and Zhao Keer walked down the stairs.

"It's good to be back. Yu Xunze waved his hand at Li Bai and motioned for them to go back.

"The teacher has a new student again?" Li Bai poked his head in, looked at Xun Ze and asked.

"It's the students who study math with me. Called Xun Ze to reply, and then motioned for Li Bai and Gao Yu to go back to their respective bedrooms to study.

"Was that also the teacher's student just now?" Chi Yihan asked curiously looking at Li Bai who had left.

"It's my student, his name is Li Bai. Called Xun Ze replied casually.

"It's a pretty domineering name. After listening to the introduction of Xun Ze, Chi Yihan opened his mouth and said, "Many people will not take the same name as His Excellency the Sword Immortal in order to avoid it. ”

"Oh, it's okay, he doesn't need to shy away. Asked Xun Ze to go back to Chi Yihan to tell the truth.
