Chapter 87 Female Scholar
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although the lantern market in the capital will continue for three days, the imminent spring plowing has made most people in Guanzhong busy again. For people living in this era, spring plowing is the top priority of the year.
.
Like most people, life in the Wang family has returned to its original track. The two daughters resumed their daily routine of going to the toilet workshop early in the morning, while Ying Ze and the housekeeper prepared the farm tools and cattle that were in short supply for the tenants during spring plowing.
Ying is a landowner with a high sense of responsibility and motivation. As a lady, she does not need to worry about the distribution of these production materials, but she still handles everything in detail and conscientiously.
Holding everything that can be managed at home. Firstly, she can pass the leisure time, and secondly, she can deepen her prestige in the entire Zhuangzi and the palace. Ying's intimidation in this three-acre land of Wangjiazhuang is far greater than
I am the head of the household.
Lan Ling comes to visit almost every day now. After many months of digging from me, the information she has has been compiled into a complete set of science textbooks for primary and secondary schools. Of course, all the weights and measures in it have been converted by me.
Changed to the standard unit used by the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps in a few years, Newton's law of motion will be renamed Wang Xiu's law of motion, and 1 Wang Xiuli will become a universal unit. Thinking of the emergence of new units such as 1 Wang Xiu, 1 Lanling, 1 Xueying or 1 Ernv in the textbooks,
I'm really looking forward to it. Wouldn't it be shameless?
Lan Ling knows me well, even more than Ying and my two daughters. He has never admired my profound knowledge, and has not even given me a single word of praise. Even when he asked questions, he used the tone of scholars discussing knowledge.
, even if she still doesn’t know anything about it. I have a typical philistine character who is half-hearted and has no ambitions. People who are stronger than me will be envious and jealous, and then I will have low self-esteem and say bad things about others, and people who are inferior to me will be envious.
He knows how to laugh at people and show off in front of others. Lan Ling balances the differences between us freely and strives to get along with each other peacefully and equally. He will neither make me feel inferior because of the difference in status nor let me go.
To show off her odor, she has already captured my temper to death. When I am with her, I always have a sweet feeling in my heart, a faint, indescribable smell, just like... Nongfu Spring.
Recently, I have discovered that Lan Ling has a tendency to develop into a scholar. It can be seen that she is constantly learning following my oral records. The recording process is no longer just mechanical writing. She will stop writing from time to time.
I discussed that some things that went against common sense needed to be tested and verified over and over again. Although I didn’t say it out loud, I was very resistant to her tireless desire for knowledge. I was just following my train of thought when I was suddenly interrupted.
She interrupted, and then began to ask: What is the rationale for this? Is it really feasible? If there is anything else, she would like to refute: I think this place you mentioned still needs a negotiated contract, I think so... and so on.
I am very lazy, so lazy that I don’t want to use my brain more, and now my life of fine clothing and fine food has aggravated my laziness. Moreover, the unequal treaty made with her at that time did not include teaching, so every day
Every time she raised an objection or wanted me to explain the reasoning behind it, I impatiently pushed back, not with scientific theorems, but with a arrogant and scoundrel tone.
Some things are difficult to explain clearly and require formula calculations to draw conclusions. Lanling does not yet have this ability, and some issues are still treated with superficial common sense. For example, when I was hit by an earthmoving truck,
The force exerted on me by the earth-moving truck is the same as the force I exerted on the earth-moving truck. But Lan Ling didn't understand. She didn't understand how the force between her beating me and me being beaten could be equal. It was obviously me in the end.
He was beaten almost to death. I still couldn't explain these things for a while.
In order to use less brains, I constantly instilled in Lan Ling the principle that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue" and told her that it was already great for a woman to write and do calculations. There was no need to ask for details. I would just remember what I said.
, I guarantee that most of them are correct. Even if there are mistakes, it is just a matter of others reading the book. Why do you, a secretary, care about so many things?
With Lan Ling's extraordinary comprehension and strong thirst for knowledge, she can quickly transform the words in the records into knowledge, and with her identity and financial resources, she can do some weird experiments unscrupulously. If these actions were carried out hundreds of times,
Years later, that would be a sign of immorality and would be reviled by all moralists.
Although I am lazy, I am very responsible for everything I promise. I systematically summarize the knowledge that Lanling needs to record, and then describe it step by step from shallow to deep, using primary and secondary school textbooks as reference
, there are always a lot of annotations and examples added behind the difficult points, and there are more and more geometric illustrations. Lanling is obsessed with the calculation of pi and the various verification methods.
"Zihao, I wish you were really my husband." Lan Ling suddenly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said quietly, "I really like being with you."
"Ah?" I was carefully classifying the contents of Lanling's records. When I heard her sudden sentence, it took me a long time to react. "It's a foul." I stood up and stroked her slightly blushing cheek lovingly, "Now she looks like this.
Isn’t it good?”
Lan Ling smiled and winked mischievously, "Isn't it beautiful? I mean, if you get married, you won't have to travel back and forth every day, and you can tinker with these things with me all day long. It's really interesting.
"
"If you really marry me, I won't bother you with these things." He took a piece of snack and took a bite, "Would you like one?"
Lan Ling shook his head, "I have been immersed in writing all morning. I am really tired. These days I have discovered that the usually lazy Wang Zihao is a truly capable person." As he said this, he leaned his head on my shoulder and hummed comfortably.
He said, "Don't show off when it's time to show off, just make a candied haws. I'm anxious about Lantern Festival and other things for fear that people won't know. I'm so busy giving gifts to each family that I went to Princess Qi's house to eat Yuanxiao for a day a few days ago. I felt sick in my stomach.
After a few days of sour water, my hiccups still smell bad."
"Haha," I stretched out my hand and scratched the bridge of her nose, "That's because you are greedy. Are there any people who eat Yuanxiao for a whole day? It's okay to eat two or three during the festival, but there is no way to eat it."
Lan Ling trembled when I scratched him, and his breathing was a little short, "Don't move me much, it makes me feel uncomfortable for a long time." He pressed his undulating chest with his hand, and then said seriously: "You said you have a stomach.
How many things are there? I feel more and more that you are different from others. The problems you calculated would take most people several years to solve. I don’t believe that Sun Wu could do this at that time. There is no way he is a
The knowledge that can be accomplished by three people or even thirty people may not be possible, it will take several lifetimes of effort, right?"
I had long expected that I couldn't hide it from her. Some seemingly simple knowledge was actually accumulated through generations of sweat and wisdom. With in-depth study, she has mastered some skills and gradually understood the truth. "
Don't worry about where I learned it. Just remember what I say to you and don't ask any unnecessary questions." I can't explain this matter. It's too profound. It's so profound that even I, an intellectual, can't understand it.
"Could it be that you are possessed by a thousand-year-old ghost?" Lan Ling heard many ghost stories that Ying had learned from me recently, and blew hot air in my ear affectionately, "What kind of ghost are you?"
"Be careful, I'll scare you to death if I reveal myself!" It seems that today's work is coming to an end, so I started to pack up the various manuscripts scattered on the table, "I have memorized so much in the morning, and you will not be able to digest it in ten days.
You need to learn everything, just master one or two things, don’t tire yourself out. Find a few more qualified students, each learn one thing, and they will be passed on in the future."
"Are you serious?" Lan Ling said in surprise, moving over my shoulder and looking directly at me with joyful eyes, "Are you willing to spread all these things? Really?"
"I've asked you to memorize it, what else do you want to do?" I said nonchalantly, "I'm not a stingy person, and I don't have the idea of passing on male rather than female. Anyone who is willing to learn, as long as I
If you're in the mood, it doesn't matter if you teach a few people. However, the apprenticeship ceremony cannot be less than that of the Cheng family. Qin Yu even failed in teaching, and the financial gifts are only half of those of the Cheng family."
"Giggle..." Lan Ling laughed lightly and said softly: "That's what I like about you. I have never seen someone like you. They say that the higher the knowledge, the deeper the cultivation, and the better the wealth.
The less desire you have for "color", how come you don't find these things in you? You have knowledge, but it's hard to say about cultivation. As for wealth, "color"... you know it yourself."
There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I am a rich and educated young man who was born under the assembly line education of the 21st century. "Don't be deceived by those people. The less you say anything, the more filthy you think in your heart. You are all hypocrites." Since then.
He has been incorporated into a knowledgeable team, and he also said bad things about his teammates, "Being a scholar and being a human being are two different things. From now on, you should mention money more and less morality in front of me." I looked at Lan who was leaning on me.
Ling Mei asked: "Can our current situation have anything to do with morality?"
"Stop being such a mouthful." Lan Ling pushed me embarrassingly, "I will find a few students for you in a few days, and I will prepare enough gifts for you, so you can try to live without having to teach you."
"No!" I waved my hand, "Don't you have these records? If anyone is willing to learn, ask them to copy them. You can learn by yourself. If you don't understand, you can just ask Qin Yucheng. If there are too many people, I will be annoyed."
"No, you must not pass it on and copy it!" Lanling took a wooden box and put all the handwritten manuscripts I had compiled into it. "The more knowledge we have, the more we cannot pass it on randomly. For example, you mentioned geometry, building bridges, and building cities.
They are all of great use, but once they are taken away by foreigners, the consequences will be endless. As for the methods you hypothesized about replacing charcoal with coal, I am now preparing to send people to Tongguan (now Tongchuan, not Tongguan) to find what you said
coal mine, you can travel within a few days."
"You are looking for coal, it has nothing to do with me." I made this clear first, lest it would be too dangerous to find a coal mine and let me direct the coal mining or something like that. "That's what I said, and you believe it. Most likely.
I can’t find it, it’s in the mountains.”
"Ah?" Lan Ling grabbed my shoulders and shook me a few times, "Do you know the place?"
"You guessed it, most mines and mines are in the mountains." I said nonsensically, and I let it slip. Besides, the changes in more than a thousand years have been so great. Even if I were asked to identify them now, I couldn't identify the place. "It's okay, it's in the mountains."
If you keep searching, you'll probably find a buyer within thirty to fifty years, haha."
"You old ghost!" Lan Ling shouted angrily, "Where is your talented girl?"
I don't know what she has to do with Ying. "I'm busy. I'm worried about spring plowing. It's like we two have nothing to mess with these things."
"Why don't you see any masterpieces she has published recently? It must be because you haven't tried your best!" Lan Ling teased the matter out again and said with a half-smile, "I'm still waiting to receive your wife's masterpiece."
"It's getting warmer now. Will our papermaking workshop start working soon?" I quickly changed the boring topic, "You said that you are constantly expanding, and you don't know when you can make something."
"Don't worry about it! I'm willing to do it if I have the money." Lan Ling was unreasonable and looking for trouble, "Why haven't you sent me the prescription you were so excited about?"
"Send it up on the 15th day of the lunar month." I gave her a look of disdain, "Who is as debauched as you and only returns to Beijing on the 20th day of the lunar month? Tell me honestly who you are with."
"Young guard, who am I? There are too many unruly widows, can you take care of them?" Lan Ling glanced back at me and said resentfully: "If you really take care of me, I will take care of you."
I admit it, do you care?"
"Don't talk nonsense." I felt a little uncomfortable after what she said. Ever since Lanling told me about the past, our relationship has grown closer unknowingly, and even the tone of our conversation has changed.
There are so many people, "My heart is so big. It's hard to fit three people into it. It's so full. I don't care."
Lan Ling threw himself on my back and said in a disgusted voice, "Should I stuff it in too?"
"Well, it's a mess inside." I patted my belly, took a snack and took a bite, "It's really big and can't fit anything else in it. Can I add a snack?"
"Okay, just stay inside, I don't care what you add." Lan Ling said softly, "Do two snacks, one large and one small, really fall to the ground at the same time?"
"Don't make the scene look bad, okay? You've called it a day, and you've also fallen flat on your face at the same time!" I knew she thought I was eating snacks and deliberately retaliated against me, "Tomorrow you can try two pieces of pea cake. They look really good after landing.
It's miserable, there are piles of yellow stuff, I guarantee you won't be hungry all day long. Haha..."
