031 Electrical experiment

"Damn it! Dingtut! Bad guy!"

While Han Qian kept cursing Su Hao in her mouth, she lowered her head and walked towards the inner house. If you look closely, you can find that although the girl was cursing, her face was filled with joy and shyness.

"Qian'er, what are you talking about?"

A voice sounded in Han Qian's ears, which scared Han Qian, who was concentrating on her thoughts. She raised her head and saw her father Han Wen standing in front of her, looking at her happily. She subconsciously reached out to block her face, for fear that her father would see her thoughts.

"Father, have you withdrawn?"

"Well, Qian'er, did you go to listen to Su Hao's lecture just now?

"Yes...ah." Han Qian replied in a long voice.

"What, is he not speaking well?" Han Wen sensitively heard his daughter's answer, which was somewhat reluctant.

Han Qian realized his incompetence and shook her head and said, "No, Su Hao talked about Western learning, there are indeed some tricks. Even Master Fang and Mr. Wu from the academy said that he was well-learned."

"Oh, Master Fang and Mr. Wu also went to listen?" Han Wen replied casually.

"That's right, there are more than a dozen students in the academy, and the officials in the workshop."

Han Qian accompanied her father into the house, helped Han Wen change his official uniform, and then said, "Father, I've learned a trick today when I listened to Su Hao's lecture. Do you want to see it?"

"Cause?" Han Wen was a little surprised, "Didn't he talk about the method of caisson? Why did he talk about the trick again?"

"No... he told Master Fang what electricity is, and then he changed a trick to show us."

"Oh? Then I want to see it for my father."

Han Qian was anxious to show off what she had learned to her father, and she didn't care to go up and change the soap robes of the yamen runners she was wearing. She walked to the desk, first pulled a hair off her head, put it on the table, then took a Korean brush and said to the Korean:

"Father, look, I can use this brush to suck the hair on the table."

"What does it mean to suck your hair up?"

"Look at it." Han Qian said timidly.

Han Wen was not very interested in any tricks, but it was rare that his daughter was so interested, so he would not let her be disappointed. He sat down at the table, smiled and clasped several long beards under his chin, watching Han Qian perform.

Han Qian turned the brush in her hand over, rubbed it with a piece of silk on the pen holder a few times, and then slowly approached the hair on the table. It was strange that the hair seemed to be spiritual. Before the brush holder touched it, it jumped up automatically and stuck to the brush holder. Han Qian lifted the brush into the air, but her hair would not fall off.

This is the experiment that Su Hao did for Han Qian, Fang Mengjin and others in class. Su Hao borrowed hair from Han Qian, which was not intentionally frivolous, but was a subconscious habit. In later classes, physics teachers asked girls to pull out a piece of hair when doing this experiment. This was mainly because boys in later generations did not have long hair, so they could only allow girls to contribute their hair.

At that time, Su Hao also saw a fallen hair on Han Qian's sleeve, and then he thought of such an electrical experiment. He forgot that in such an era, asking for hair from a girl was extremely ambiguous.

"Is this trick from Su Hao?" Han Wen asked.

"Isn't it him?" Han Qian replied. When she thought that her hair had been held in her hand by Su Hao, she couldn't help but jump wildly. She grew so big that no man had touched her hair. Although it was just a fallen hair, the extended meaning made Han Qian blush even when she thought about it.

Bah! Did this disciple do this on purpose?

Han Wen did not notice his daughter's embarrassment. If he had let him know that Su Hao had acted like this, he would probably jump up immediately and send a yamen runner to catch Su Hao and beat the board. He didn't expect to investigate who was using his hair when Su Hao changed this trick, but just asked: "What kind of electrical science do you think Su Hao used this trick?"

"That's right, this is the electrical science in Western learning." Han Qian replied seriously. Then, she imitated Su Hao's appearance and explained to her father vividly what positive and negative charges are and what attractions between the opposite sex are, and also told them all about the knowledge such as lightning rods.

"So there is such a reason for the method of pike fish. It seems that he has a shallow understanding of his father." Han Wen said in accordance with his daughter's words. He pretended to be attentive on the surface, but was thinking about something else in his heart.

Han Wen knew that his daughter was smart and had a strong understanding since childhood. She could learn many things by just a glance, so she was more arrogant and rarely admired someone from the bottom of her heart. In the past, he had hired many teachers for her daughter. No matter how knowledge these people were, her daughter only showed some respect on the surface, and it was difficult to convince her. The situation of retelling what the teacher had said to her parents with relish has never happened in the past.

Is this girl's heart aroused, or is it really how attractive the lessons taught by Su Hao are? Han Wen asked himself secretly in his heart. Su Hao is just a scholar in the countryside, and his articles are not outstanding. Can he deserve his daughter? He is proficient in the study of things by the barbarians, but this is not the content that needs to be taken in the imperial examination. With Su Hao's talent, how great is he?

"Qian'er, since Su Hao's lesson is so interesting, then let's listen to it tomorrow for my father." Han Wen said.

Han Qian pouted and said, "He won't talk tomorrow."

"Why?"

"He said that time doesn't wait for anyone. Today I will tell you some basics. From tomorrow on, I will take you to the wild to practice and learn while working."

"This method is good." Han Wen said, "I'm also worried that he would take too much time to teach and delay the big deal of digging wells."

Han Qian leaned over to Han Wen, held Han Wen's hand with her hands, and said timidly: "Father, tomorrow Su Hao and the others will go to the field to tent the well, and I want to go with me, okay?"

"What?" Han Wen's surprise was extraordinary. It was already very unusual for his daughter to disguise herself as a group of men to attend classes. If she ran to the wild to tent in the wild with a group of men, that would be great? Even if Han Wen was a person who had opened his mind, she would not be able to accept such a thing.

"How can this work? It's just nonsense!" Han Wen said with a stern face.

"Why can't it work?" Han Qian's eyes flashed with tears, "I'm going to learn things, not to play, why can't it work? Su Hao said that these knowledge must be learned in practice before they can learn it. You can't learn these things when you sit in the study."

"Qian'er, don't be anxious..." Han Wen's most afraid of her daughter's crying. He heard her daughter's voice crying, and he quickly coaxed her, "Qian'er, your father is also a magistrate after all, and you are a lady from a wealthy family. How could he follow a group of men to run around in the wilderness? If this matter is spread, it will damage your reputation."

"I don't care." Han Qian said.

"This girl's reputation is of great importance, how can she not care?"

"Whatever others are willing to say is their business. I just want to learn something, but what's wrong with whom? Besides, father, you have always been worried about Kanjing. My daughter will go to Kanjing with Su Hao to Kanjing. You can also see if he is really attentive. This is also a matter of sharing your worries for you. This is a matter of filial piety. Who will say what?" Han Qian pulled Han Wen's arm back and forth, and the situation was that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"But...or...ah...ah...ah, Qian'er, you're hungry too. Go change your clothes and prepare for meals. Your mother should be anxious..." Han Wen knew that she could not convince her daughter, so she could only shoot her and quickly escape.

"I'm going!" Han Qian looked at her father's background, stomped her feet, and said hatefully.
