After settling the old couple Geng and Dingxiang, Liang Xin asked several maids to be more careful at night and arrange their night shifts.
Geng Ruyu went back to the room first, took out two pills from a box of Rishenglong Shenbao worth ten taels of silver, and gave them warm water. Liang Xin brought the Tongfang who was waiting in the room, called Xiaozhu, and said with a smile: "Master, on weekdays
I couldn't think of taking it, but I took two pills today when I felt like it. This can be said to be 'sharpening a gun before the battle'."
Geng Ruyu took out a handful of her body and said, "How dare you lie, you prodigal, today I'm going to throw your young lady under the horse and kill you for the same crime."
Xiaozhu meant to sneer, but in the end decided to give him face, and avoided saying: "You'd better sleep for a while to recuperate. The young lady still has to coax the young master, and it's time to go back to the room."
.......
When Liang Xin returned to the room, Geng Ruyu was already at war with each other. There was no need to elaborate on the fierce battle between the couple. After burning a stick of incense, Liang Xin lifted him up and said: "You can do this and kill me under the horse? You also want to kill Xiaozhu.
Two sins equal to one?”
Geng Ruyu said with a shy smile: "I'll take a break as my husband, and then I'll have the courage to fight back." Liang Xin burst into laughter, and called Xiaozhu to bring hot water to help him and the two wash themselves.
The more Geng Ruyu looked at his daughter-in-law, the more he fell in love with her. He couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I just hate that I can't succeed in my career and can't earn a job for you, but my beloved wife has been wronged."
Liang Xin laughed and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself, I think it's better to have some leisure time like this. In today's world, if you are an official, you pass the exam four or five times a year, and you are exhausted and looking for work, what's the point! We two
It has been five years since we got married." Geng Ruyu said, "Yes, in the fifth year of Wanli, Cheng'er is already four years old."
Liang Xin said with a smile: "You are the only one in the Geng family who still regards having a career as something that is not allowed. It's funny to say that when we first proposed marriage, my boss was not willing. My father also said that no one with a serious family would have a child twenty-four or five years old.
Not getting married yet! Could it be that the old Geng family's family rule is that if you don't win the election, you won't get a wife?"
Looking at his wife who was nine years younger than him, Geng Ruyu said with a smile: "How can there be such a family rule? It's just that the master always wants to climb the branches. It's a shame that your grandpa became the governor, otherwise -" he said to the east:
"I don't know what to do yet."
Liang Xin's eyes were bright, and she looked at Geng Ruyu and said: "I respect my husband here. I am a transparent person, and I am not stupid and filial. There are things I have been unable to do these years, and it is thanks to your protection. My grandfather
He and I are like brothers, with our eyes on the top of our heads, only looking up. If you ask me, I am better than our Grand Governor, who has become more and more angry in the past few years."
"Let's talk about it. The governor-general of my family doesn't care about Neo-Confucianism, psychology, or the study of things. He just puts the word 'quan' on his forehead, and he doesn't care about ghosts and gods."
Geng Ruyu laughed loudly at these words, hugged Liang Xin and kissed her: "You are going to laugh me to death, you are such a 'ghost and god'!"
After laughing, Geng Ruyu sighed: "I still can't bear to see things. This Nantai meeting is unexpected, but whoever cares doesn't know what's going on? I said earlier that Neo-Confucianism must fail completely."
"Since the reform, Li Zhi, He Xinyin and others from the two Beijing newspapers have written many articles criticizing Neo-Confucianism! When Gewu was booming, how many licenses were granted by the Publishing House every year! My second uncle wrote a letter the year before last, asking my father to think of something in Beijing to see if it could be done.
A monthly journal of Neo-Confucianism. I’ve been working on it for more than a year, how about it? There’s no trace of it to this day – do you still need to ask about the emperor’s thoughts?”
Liang Xin nodded and said: "What your husband is talking about is that if you are a concubine, you don't read those sages' books. Nowadays, all the villains in Ci'er, Qu'er, and Pinghua are either fake Taoists or hypocrites. In these books, 'True villain'
'On the contrary, it's both respectable and pitiable! If you say there's nothing weird in it, I won't believe it."
Geng Ruyu scratched her nose and said, "A good wife understands this. Don't go ahead and tell me this. He usually doesn't read miscellaneous books. If he finds out, he will be furious."
Liang Xin curled her lips and said: "I have also read some history books. If you say that Neo-Confucianism can harmonize the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world, I don't believe it. Ever since Zhu Xi annotated the classics, the Song Dynasty has been getting worse year by year, and in the end it was replaced by
The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty seized the country. Now the emperor is working hard to suppress Neo-Confucianism, but the foreigners are convinced, and people from all over the world are coming from thousands of miles away!"
Geng Ruyu saw that Liang Xin meant everything he said, and he fell in love with this lovely girl. He hugged her tightly and touched her back and said: "Oh, I am forced to endorse by the master every day. I am really depressed. Thank you for having you."
"Only because of my husband do I feel that life is interesting." Liang Xin was so moved by his touch that she exhaled and said, "Do you want to fight back?"
A word of thunder from the sky set fire to the ground, and Geng Ruyu became excited again. When he was about to turn his saddle and accept the pedal, he suddenly said: "You said, you and Xiaozhu are going to kill half of my life. The emperor is making so many troubles, how can he
Are you busy coming over?"
...
Geng Ruyu just eats carrots and doesn't worry about it. The emperor - of course he is too busy. In the ninth year of Wanli, after a small-scale draft was held in the harem, a large number of palace ladies were released, so that there were more women in the harem who were not favored by the emperor.
Hope.
In this draft, a familiar name was noticed by Zhu Yijun: Zheng Mengjing. She was the concubine Zheng who caused the national case and the attack in the original time and space.
She is really good-looking and has a gentle temperament. While Zhu Yijun secretly lamented that history still has inertia, he also became more wary of her. After all, although the murder case will be a mystery in later generations, as the saying goes "there is no storm without fire", the time traveler copied the answer and stepped into it.
It would be too stupid to share the same puddle.
Therefore, although Zheng Mengjing was as beautiful as Zhuang Jingjia, she was not as favored as the queen. After the emperor came to her, she was granted the title of beauty, which was far away from the title of noble concubine.
While there is inertia in history, there are also some interesting changes. Nowadays, Zheng Meiren only gets her turn to be favored every two to three months, leaving a lot of time to spare.
Because of her docile temperament, the princesses like to get close to her. Princess Leping took her through several experiments, and Zheng Meiren actually fell in love with Gewu. As for asking for favors, she really liked her. Of course, she didn't need to ask, but she started.
The experiment turned out to be satisfactory.
When normal couples in the world were gossiping at night, Zheng Meiren was conducting various experiments day and night. By April of the 10th year of Wanli, her residence in the back hall of Chuxiu Palace had been filled with various experimental equipment, and there were also other experimental equipment outside the palace.
What a long wooden box with peas growing inside.
Zhu Yijun asked her to grow this pea. Seeing that she liked to investigate things, Zhu Yijun once said: "These bottles and jars can be easily broken and hurt people. I designed an experiment for you to do." Mendel experimented with peas.
Tell her about the design.
Although Zheng Meiren obeyed the order and planted peas, she did not listen to the advice and stopped playing with other things. On the night of April 29th, Wanli tenth year, in Zheng Meiren's single dormitory, under the bright light of an oil lamp, she was working hard
I wrote my first paper quickly.
Zheng Meiren's experimental design was very simple. She learned about electricity from "General Knowledge" - the book said: "Silk can generate electricity by rubbing glass rods; electricity can also be generated by fur rubbing amber; charged objects can produce electricity.
Attraction, repulsion can be generated between charged bodies of the same sex, and attraction can be generated between charged bodies of the opposite sex.”
But this sentence in the general book did not describe other properties of electricity. Zheng Meiren flipped through every issue of the Gewu journal and found no one continuing to study it, so she started working on it herself, seizing the few insights.
The emperor has the opportunity to ask for advice on electrical related issues.
She once asked the emperor. The emperor said that metal can conduct electricity, but no one in the Gewu Institute is studying how to store it. After all, although there are many topics in the Gewu Institute, the ones that can be approved are all production-related issues. If she is interested, she can study it.
this.
In order to facilitate her research, Zhu Yijun recalled the contents of the junior high school curriculum and had someone make her an electrifying device: a glass plate with a diameter of one foot, a friction pad made of silk, and two small copper balls connected to the two levels with wires.
, the discharge phenomenon can be observed in the dark.
The emperor was very busy, so the tutoring ended here. Zheng Mengjing used the electrifying device given to her by the emperor, and became very popular in the harem. In the first month or so, concubines and maids came to her house every day.
Let’s go to see the magical electric snake. Zheng Meiren uses the attraction properties of electricity. After putting electricity on the feathers, she uses charged balls to push and suck it, just like magic, which often attracts cries of surprise.
Later, she got tired of playing with the generator and began to study the storage of electricity. After several clueless gropings, she finally tried to install the electricity into a glass bottle. So she used a small silver pole on the generator.
The chain is led into the glass bottle, and a layer of silver foil is wrapped around the bottle to connect to the other pole - this device can also discharge after being disconnected from the generator.
Later, Zheng Meiren further improved the device she invented and put silver foil inside the glass bottle. She found that the bottle stored more electricity.
At noon on April 29th, when Zheng Meiren was serving the emperor, she demonstrated it to him. Zhu Yijun was greatly surprised and encouraged her to write it into a paper. Of course, what Zhu Yijun didn't know was that - the real invention invented by Zheng Mengjing
It is the "Leyden jar", the first capacitor in human history.
The "Dream Bottle" invented by Zheng Mengjing was more than a hundred years earlier than the invention of the Leyden bottle. The emergence of capacitors also reminded Zhu Yijun that it was necessary for the Gewu Institute to further study the various properties of electricity. After all, for time travellers,
To say that we are still following the original path of advancing science and technology in time and space would be a bit of a waste of time.
