Chapter 34: Lin Ruhai High School
Days passed by, and before we knew it, it was the ninth day of the third month.
This day happened to be a day off, and it was also the day the results of the imperial examination in the Great Qian Dynasty were announced.
Lin Ruhai took the imperial examination in February, and when the results were announced, Prince Zhongzheng became nervous.
He got up early in the morning and went to Lin Ruhai's guest room, only to find that Lin Ruhai had not yet gotten up.
He hurriedly ordered someone to wake Lin Ruhai, and seeing Lin Ruhai still yawning, he said with exasperation:
"Brother Lin, the results are out today, how can you still be sleeping?"
Lin Ruhai said calmly, "If I pass the exam, I can sleep it off and it won't matter; if I don't pass, staying up all night won't help."
Prince Chung-mae pointed at him and said, "You, you!"
Lin Ruhai calmly washed up, then pulled Prince Zhongzheng aside and said, "Brother Xia, how about you stay and have some wine with me while we wait? Let's see if I can pass the exam."
Prince Zhongzheng had no choice but to comply, and ordered a banquet to be prepared so that he could drink with Lin Ruhai.
It is the third month of spring in the human world, with the spring breeze smiling and the willows like smoke.
The warm sun rises in the sky, and birds sing in the treetops.
Prince Chung-cheng frequently craned his neck to look around and listened intently.
Lin Ruhai, however, was in no hurry. He drank wine and composed poems, finding great joy in the process.
Time passed slowly, and just as Prince Zhongzheng was growing increasingly anxious, Xia Shouzhong ran in from outside.
This time, he disregarded etiquette; his voice preceded his arrival.
"Congratulations to Master Lin for achieving fifth place in the imperial examination!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Chung-jang suddenly stood up and laughed loudly, "Good, good! Reward him!"
Xia Shouzhong hurriedly said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness!"
Prince Zhongzheng said to Lin Ruhai, "Brother Lin, congratulations on passing the imperial examination! Your future is limitless!"
Lin Ruhai stood up and said calmly, "It was just something I expected!"
Prince Zhongzheng laughed loudly, "As expected of Brother Lin, you truly possess the spirit of the Wei and Jin dynasties!"
He then instructed Xia Shouzhong, "Quickly go and invite these young masters here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Before long, Xia Chengxu and his companions were summoned.
Prince Chung-cheng instructed, "Your Uncle Lin ranked fifth in the imperial examination. Quickly congratulate him!"
The children hurriedly offered their congratulations: "Congratulations, Uncle Lin, on passing the imperial examination with flying colors and achieving great success!"
Lin Ruhai exchanged a few polite words.
At this moment, someone outside invited Lin Ruhai to a banquet.
Lin Ruhai calmly apologized, went back to his own courtyard to change his clothes, and left the mansion.
Prince Chung-cheng sighed, "Your Uncle Lin possesses a noble spirit, a deep and calculating mind, and remains unperturbed by favor or disgrace. He will surely become a pillar of the nation in the future!"
Xia Chengzong smiled inwardly upon hearing this.
He was very observant and noticed that when Uncle Lin went out, he buttoned one of his coat buttons wrong.
It's clear that his inner self was not as calm as he appeared outwardly.
Uncle Lin ranked fifth in the provincial examination this year, and a month later he passed the palace examination and became the third-ranked scholar.
I wonder when he will marry the Jia family's daughter? When was Lin Daiyu born?
After three busy days, Lin Ruhai resumed his studies to prepare for the imperial examination a month later.
……
After a month or two of hard work, Dr. Song finally finished the first draft of the theory of derivatives.
After finishing the manuscript, he took it to Xia Chengzong for correction.
Xia Chengzong carefully reviewed it, pointed out several errors and omissions, and offered a few suggestions.
Xia Chengzong's math scores were average, and in terms of research, he was far inferior to Dr. Song.
However, his greatest strength lies in his knowledge of the future direction of advanced mathematics.
Therefore, his guidance was like a guiding light for Dr. Song.
Several days later, the theory of derivatives was officially completed.
Dr. Song took the book to the Imperial College.
The derivative is like a key; it unlocks a door to mathematics for a group of students, revealing a whole new world.
As a result, the book quickly caused a sensation at the Imperial College.
Many professors and students specializing in mathematics become so engrossed in it that they are like gluttons who have encountered a delicious meal.
Many hands make light work; with everyone working together to study, we believe we can soon perfect this field of knowledge.
However, the book still sparked some controversy.
The point of contention lies in the author's name on the book, with Xia Chengzong listed as the first author.
Xia Chengzong was quite famous among scholars.
His three poems established his status as a child prodigy among scholars.
His reputation for filial piety spread widely among the people.
However, he was not well-known in the field of mathematics, and almost no one knew him.
They were devoted to their studies and had pure hearts, so they were furious when they saw that the author was Xia Chengzong.
They believed that this grandson of the emperor was trying to steal Dr. Song's hard work, and that his behavior was extremely disgraceful.
Their anger burned fiercely, and they organized themselves to stage a sit-in protest.
Dr. Song was taken aback when he learned of this.
He quickly appeared in public to explain that he had not been coerced.
The third son, Xia Chengzong, was a prodigy whose mathematical skills far surpassed his own.
He built upon the work of his predecessors, developing and expanding the field of derivatives into an independent discipline.
I am merely a recorder, and it is already an immense stroke of luck that my name has been added to the record.
Unfortunately, most students do not believe this claim.
This third young master is just a mere seven-year-old child. How could he possibly understand such profound theories?
In the end, it was only through Dr. Song's persuasive words that everyone was calmed down.

……

On this day, Xia Chengzong received a huge wave of negative emotions, numbering in the thousands, which he found very strange.
It wasn't until several days later that he learned the whole story.
Only then did he realize that Dr. Song had compiled the theory of derivatives under his own name.
He had previously said when he wanted to become an apprentice that he would compile his mathematical knowledge into a book to make a name for himself.
I never expected that he would still do this even though I didn't take him as my apprentice.
And it caused such a huge uproar—
Well, I also gained a lot of emotional points.
However, he was observant and instinctively sensed that something was amiss.
Is the issue of authorship really that serious? And did it even escalate to the point of a sit-in protest?
The practice of students from the Imperial Academy or the Imperial College petitioning on a certain matter has a long history.
As early as the Jin Dynasty, when Sima Zhao wanted to kill Ji Kang and sentenced him to death, three thousand students from the Imperial Academy collectively petitioned the emperor to pardon him, but Sima Zhao resolutely refused.
Although the matter did not come to fruition, it had a significant impact.
What would be the consequences if the students of the Imperial Academy of the Great Qian Dynasty also staged a collective petition? Who would be most affected?
Needless to say, it will have the greatest impact on him, the third grandson of the emperor.
Everyone knows that his third grandson is a thief who stole the doctor's research!
Once his reputation is tarnished, will he still be a good grandson of God?
Dr. Song temporarily suppressed the matter.
But can Dr. Song really suppress it?
Could it be that someone is stirring things up behind the scenes?
