“Of course, but the number has to be made bigger. I ll leave it to you to change the questions.” Liu Wuji said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face stiffened.
Then, under the expectant gazes of the two, she nodded.
Alright then. If they thought it was good enough, then it was.
Thus, Lin Xiaoyue returned to her seat.
After thinking for a while, she adapted rhe question.
After she finished writing, she sent it to the Imperial Advisor.
The Imperial Advisor was looking forward to it, but when he saw Lin Xiaoyue’s handwriting, his expression froze.
Then, he glanced at his granddaughter. Seeing that she had a serious expression and did nor have the intention to joke with him, he quickly put away rhe inappropriate expression on his face.
This handwriting was really…unbearable to look at.
It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to find some copybooks for his granddaughter to practice writing.
His granddaughter was so outstanding, how could she be defeated by her handwriting?
After looking at Lin Xiaoyue’s questions for a while, Liu Wuji finally finished reading them.
Then, he took a pen and paper and copied Lin Xiaoyue’s question onto a new piece of paper.
Liu Wuji finally nodded in satisfaction when he saw rhe question.
“What’s rhe answer?” Then, he asked Lin Xiaoyue.
“Oh…” Lin Xiaoyue opened her mouth and was about ro say.
However, Liu Wuji stopped her.
“Write it ro me.” Liu Wuji said.
He even looked around the room warily.
Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze followed the Imperial Advisor and also swept around rhe room.
Seeing Mo Fei and the others doing the questions seriously, she felt that the Imperial Advisor was being loo cautious.
However, thinking about it, tomorrow’s match was of great importance, so it was only right for him ro be so cautious.
Lin Xiaoyue did not hesitate. She picked up the brush and wrote down rhe answer in front of Liu Wuji.
Seeing his granddaughter’s writing posture and rhe words she wrote, Liu Wuji almost lost control of his facial expression again.
This girl really had to practice her calligraphy more.
Knowing the answer, Liu Wuji brought the answer to the question and checked it.
After making sure that the results were correct, he copied down rhe answers Lin Xiaoyue had given him.
The Imperial Advisor, who had done all this, had a satisfied look on his face.
But after a moment, rhe Imperial Advisor put away his satisfied expression and turned to look at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Leave the topic selection to them. You’re in charge of setting the questions.” He said.
His granddaughter was a genius.
The questions the Grand Scholars and Arithmetic Masters came up in the last few days were not even as good as rhe ones his granddaughter casually picked up.
The Emperor asked him to come up with three questions. With his granddaughter around, nor ro mention three, even five questions would not be a problem.
Yes, at this moment, the Imperial Advisor had some devious thoughts.
He wanted to take this opportunity to use his granddaughter.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
“Ah?” She looked at Liu Wuji awkwardly.
She believed that she was good at solving problems, especially math problems of this era.
But setting questions…
She could do ir too!
People in this era did nor understand equations, probability, or geomerry. She had a lot of room to play!
“There’s no need to be humble. I have high hopes for you!” Liu Wuji looked ar Lin Xiaoyue encouragingly.
Facing the Imperial Advisor1 s trusting gaze, Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“Then I’ll give it a try…”
Liu Wuji’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“Think about ir here. Once you’ve thought about it, I’ll discuss it with you.” He said.
Not bad, he could even get close to his granddaughter.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the Imperial Advisor and smiled awkwardly. “Alright…” Then, under the “care” of the Imperial Advisor, she took the Imperial Advisor’s seat.
Then, she rook the brush and started to think of a question.
What questions should she set?
Normal questions definitely wouldn’t work. They had to be difficult! It would be best if it required thinking out of the box.
Mathematical Olympiad questions before rhe end of the 21st century were not bad choices.
Haha, back then, she happened to be a part-time tutor in university, so she knew a little about it!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue started to write.
Then, she noticed rhe old man who was staring at her.
Yes, rhe current Imperial Advisor was just an old man in her eyes.
She realized that this was a cure old man who liked to smile at her.
“Why don’t I read it out and you write ir, Master?” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Anyway, he had to copy it again later, so it was better to save some effort.
Liu Wuji was stunned.
Then, he laughed and agreed.
Then, he exchanged places with Lin Xiaoyue.
When Liu Wuji was ready, Lin Xiaoyue began to read the question.
“One day, A and B came ro rhe river to fish.”
“By noon, both of them have gained something.”
“A got three fish, B gor two fish.”
“When the two of them returned home, they met a man on rhe way. The man suggested that he share the fish with the two of them. The two agreed..”
