During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 116 Not a fool
Jiang Miao also quietly asked Luo Tingye, "How's it going? How much coal does their family sell to us?"

"You'll know when it's delivered to you in two days."

"Okay, by the way, I just..."

Luo Tingye's eyes changed and he squeezed Jiang Miao's hand.

Jiang Miao immediately shut up and turned to look at Gao Hui, who was walking over. He rubbed his palms carefully, coquettishly, as if he was a little wife, "When are we going to hunt wild deer? Me and Da Chong can help."

Luo Tingye knew it was Jiang Miao as soon as he heard it, and replied: "You don't have anyone who can take advantage of you, so I'm afraid you won't be able to help. Besides, Master Gao, you are of noble birth. If something happens, we won't be able to bear the burden." Get up, you and Dachong stay in the cave and wait for us to come back."

A flash of disappointment flashed in Gao Hui's heart. They would rather use the Hong brothers they had just met than let him help. Maybe they really don't want to be friends with him.

Luo Tingye ignored Gao Hui's disappointment and called the Hong brothers to leave.

Jiang Miao originally thought that she had a share, but who knew that Luo Tingye had left her behind as well.

"You're feeling better, so you'd better stay here and wait."

Jiang Miao tried to fight for it, "I'm very strong and I can help."

Luo Tingye looked at her suspiciously. Jiang Miao was indeed very strong in the past, but now her strength can only be regarded as average. She can't help much when hunting.

Jiang Miao also knew that she was weak and couldn't help much, but she would be bored if she was left to wait alone in the cave.

But no matter what she asked, Luo Tingye would not take her with him, and even left her homework.

"What? You agreed to take me with you, but words don't count." Jiang Miao stamped her feet angrily and watched the four of them disappear.

Seeing this, Gao Hui felt a little more balanced. At least he was not the only one left behind.

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Luo is also worried about your safety. I think you should stay here and wait."

Jiang Miao glared at him, feeling that if Gao Hui hadn't followed him, Luo Tingye would not have left her behind. It was all his fault.

The monk Gao Hui was confused and took the initiative to say, "Miss Jiang, did I say something wrong?"

"No." Jiang Miao sat on the side angrily and began to write and draw on the ground with a branch.

When Gao Hui saw that she was ignoring him, he didn't rush to ask for trouble. However, after waiting for a while, he didn't see her talking to him. He couldn't help but got curious and came closer, only to find that she was talking about some ghost characters.

"Is Miss Jiang still proficient in Taoism?"

Jiang Miao calmed down a little and quickly wrote the final answer, fifteen chickens and twenty-five rabbits.

Only then did Gao Hui realize that she was writing an arithmetic problem. The ghostly drawing in the middle was the process of checking the calculation, and the final answer...

Gao Hui used his little knowledge to calculate mentally for a long time, and found that the answer was actually correct. Even the teachers in the school might not be able to calculate such a mathematical problem in such a short time. Jiang Miao just spent a few symbols. , and it was drawn.

How did she do it?
Gao Hui's eyes flashed, "Miss Jiang, can you teach me?"

Jiang Miao thought he was talking about Taoism, "No, I don't know Taoism."

"No, no, I'm talking about these symbols, can you teach me?"

Jiang Miao pointed at herself, "I'll teach you. Aren't you a student at the county school? How can you ask me to teach you?"

Gao Hui clenched his hands nervously, "To be honest, it's all thanks to my father that I was able to enter the county school. In fact, I wasn't very good at studying. I couldn't even answer simple arithmetic questions. I used to I feel that my talent is dull, but when I saw you doing the questions just now, I realized that it's not that I'm stupid, it's that the master doesn't know how to teach. I want you to be my master." Not necessarily, I heard that Gao Hui was the last one. If there is something wrong with Confucius’ teachings, why aren’t others last?
However, if she becomes Gao Hui's master, doesn't it mean that no one in Huachang County would dare to mess with her?

Moreover, she can also make money.

Jiang Miao sat upright, "You mean you want to worship me as your teacher?"

It was rare for Gao Hui to get tongue-tied. He had no such intention. He just wanted to learn how to draw ghost charms from her.

However, it seems that it is not impossible. If he becomes his disciple, he will be able to come to Hewan Village often in the future, and he will not have to worry about not being friends with Mr. Jiang and Mr. Luo.

Gao Hui lifted up his robe and knelt down towards Jiang Miao, "Master, I'm here, I bow to my disciple."

Dachong was so horrified that his eyes were as wide as walnuts, and he hurriedly pulled him away, "Master, how can you accept Miss Jiang as your teacher? She is not as old as you?"

Jiang Miao glanced at Gao Hui and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Do you really want to worship me as your teacher?"

Gao Hui, who was about to get up, accidentally knelt down again, "Yes."

Jiang Miao waved her hand, "Since you are so sincere, I will accept you. Get up."

"Thank you, Master."

Dachong was petrified. He had a feeling that if the master and his wife knew that the young master had taken a girl as his disciple, they would beat him to death.

Gao Hui bowed and saluted, "Master."

Jiang Miao nodded with a smile and narrowed her eyes, "Good disciple, although I have accepted you as my disciple, I don't want too many people to know about this, so you should just call me Miss Jiang on weekdays. "

Gao Hui nodded obediently, "It's master."

Gao Hui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he was also the son of the county magistrate. If he called a little girl "master" in front of everyone, he would be embarrassed to spread the word.

However, fortunately, the master does not want too many people to know about this.

"Master, can you teach me math problems now?"

"Yes, yes, but not now. I want to go out for a walk now. You two should accompany me."

Gao Hui shook his head subconsciously. He wanted to study even more. He had never wanted to study as much as he did at this moment. He wished he could write as fast as he could right now.

He had a hunch that as long as he could learn from his master, he would definitely not be ranked bottom in the next exam.

"Why, you just became my disciple and you want to be disobedient?" Jiang Miao threatened.

Gao Hui hurriedly changed his words, "That's not true, it's just that Mr. Luo told me to wait here. If we get lost, Mr. Luo won't be able to find us when he comes back. Besides, there are wild beasts in the mountains. If I encounter a wild beast... "

"Don't worry. I'm very familiar with this place. I won't encounter wild beasts. Besides, you're already here. Wouldn't it be a pity not to walk around?"

You're right, he climbed up with difficulty, it would be a shame if he didn't look around.

Gao Hui was encouraged by Jiang Miao to leave the cave. His sense of direction was very good, even better than Jiang Miao's. This made her wonder if it was Gao Hui's first time going up the mountain, so how could he be better than her.
