Huang Chengyan asked in surprise: "What? Are you going to the Prefecture Mufu?"
Cai Yue sighed and said: "De Gui gave his little sister to Liu Xin in order to be reinstated. It has been more than two months, but there has been no movement at all. I am also worried and want to go and see her."
, by the way, I asked her to find out how things are going."
Huang Chengyan was even more surprised and said: "Degui gave his little sister to Liu Xin! I've heard that Liu Xinhuang is lustful, how could Degui push his little sister into the pit of fire! No, I can't let you fall into it again, you
can not go!"
Cai Yue gave him a hard push and said, "What are you talking about? How old am I? Will Mr. Zhou Mu have an idea for me? Just hearing what you said made me even more worried. My little sister is too old."
Xiao, I’m alone in the Prefectural Mufu, and I don’t know what kind of abuse she got from Liu Xin. Alas, she’s just a child! Besides, you can’t just watch the Cai family sink if you don’t come up with any ideas.”
Huang Chengyan was snatched away by her and said sarcastically: "How could De Gui think of giving his little sister to Liu Xin? It's really unfathomable."
Cai Yue sighed: "I don't know where Liu Xin heard about the beauty of the little girl. As soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, he asked De Gui about the little girl."
Huang Chengyan suddenly became proud and said, "You always say why I made A Chou look like this. If my little sister had dressed up like this, could these things have happened?"
Cai Yue pinched him angrily and said, "How long has it been? You are still gloating about your misfortune!"
Huang Chengyan bared his teeth and endured the pain and said: "Actually, the matter was not that serious. I think Liu Xin has no intention of giving up Degui."
Cai Yue turned around and looked at him with an angry face and said, "Didn't you just say in the afternoon that De Gui's situation was not good? Why did you change your words all of a sudden now!"
Huang Chengyan murmured: "I, didn't I make a mistake for a moment?"
The next morning, Liu Xin rushed back to the Prefecture Mufu happily. He had good news that he couldn't wait to tell Ma Yun.
Based on the memories of Liu Xin and Ma Yun from later generations, it should be very easy to produce stirrups, an item with a low technical content. The difficulty lies in how to install the stirrups on the saddle. The craftsmen thought
Many methods are either easy to fall off or difficult to control. After unremitting efforts, I found a solution today, which is to use a long wooden handle covered with copper to connect the stirrup and saddle together. In Liu Xin's words
In other words, in this way, the stirrups and the saddle can finally be organically combined.
Liu Xin got the news and got on the horse for a test ride in person. He felt very satisfied. With the stirrup as a weapon, from now on, establishing a strong cavalry force in Jingzhou is no longer just a dream. Such good news is naturally
She wanted to share it with Ma Yun. Liu Xin hurried to the academy, but was told that Ma Yun had left after giving lectures. Liu Xin knew that she must have rushed back to feed Ma Fan, so she hurried back
The state pastoral office, this news really made him so excited.
As soon as they entered the house, before he could speak, Ma Yun had already said, "Husband, you came back just in time, there is someone in Cai Jue's family."
Liu Xin became even more happy and said: "Today is such a good day, with happy events coming one after another, just in time for them to take Cai Jue back. This saves a lot of trouble."
Ma Yun shook her head helplessly and said, "It's not that easy. It's her sister and niece who are here, just to see her."
But Liu Xin couldn't wait any longer, and kept saying: "Let's go, let's go, as long as someone from their family comes, there is always an opportunity, let's take a look first and then talk."
Cai Yue and her daughter came to visit Cai Jue, and Cai Jue is now Cai Yan's god-sister. The task of receiving them was naturally handed over to Cai Yan. Liu Xin and Ma Yun also came to the small courtyard, but they didn't expect it.
The yard was already very lively. Not only were they there, but Bian Yu and Zhu Qian heard that someone from Cai Jue's family was coming. They thought they were taking her home, so they all ran over to see her off and took Liu Yu to the house.
, Liu Rui and the two little guys were also brought over. At this time, Liu Yu was already playing with the little girl A Chou from the Huang family, and they were still arguing about something.
Liu Yu is four years old this year. Liu Xin and Ma Yun are both busy and rarely take him out. There are no children of similar age in the house. In the past, he always played behind Liu Rui, but now Liu Rui
He is one year older, so there is no interest in playing with this little boy. At most, he can only fool him. And this little girl from the Huang family is also four years old this year. Although she looks a bit ugly, she is beautiful and harmonious in the eyes of children.
There is not much difference between being ugly. The two children are similar in age, but they play together.
Cai Yue was most concerned about Cai Jue's situation and Liu Xin's attitude towards Cai Mao. Seeing so many people, it was difficult to ask in detail, so she had to chat with Cai Yan, Bian Yu and the others. Liu Rui relied on her mother, quietly
Liu Rui listened on the sidelines. At one year old, Liu Rui was already looking like a lady. No one noticed why the two children got into an argument.
It turns out that Huang Chengyan doted on his daughter very much and taught her to read from an early age. The little girl A Chou was indeed smart. She already knew many words when she was two years old, and now she has read many books. Liu Yu is taller than
Liu Yu was tall, so he asked A Chou to call him brother. But A Chou was arrogant about his talent and did not look down on children of the same age, so he insisted that Liu Yu call him sister.
Liu Yu tilted his head, thought for a while and said: "Let's compete to see who is stronger. If you are stronger than me, I will call you sister."
A Chou stretched out a little finger, scratched his nose, and said: "You are stronger than a girl, so don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed."
Liu Yu slapped his chest and said, "Then what do you want to compare?"
A Chou rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to ask you a question. If you answer it correctly, I'll call you brother."
Liu Yu said without hesitation: "Okay, you ask."
A Chou was secretly happy in his heart, put his hands behind his back, put on an old scholar's look, and said: "Listen carefully, let me ask you, is the sun closer to us when it just rises, or is it closer to us at noon?
?”
Liu Xin just noticed that the two children were arguing, and was about to separate them, but she was surprised when she heard A Chou ask this question. Isn't this two children arguing about the sun? This kind of question, even Confucius asked
He couldn't answer it, so how could Liu Yu answer it? Liu Xin was immediately impressed by this ugly little girl and couldn't help but look her up and down. After just one glance, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
Bian Yu had also read a lot of books and knew the allusion of two children arguing about the sun. Although it was just a joke between children, she was still worried about Liu Yu. But Ma Yun and Cai Yan heard it
Here, they looked at each other and smiled, looked at Liu Yu together, and nodded encouragingly at him.
Liu Yu got the support of both of them, and he shook his head and said: "On the same day, our distance from the sun is the same. Only in summer will we be closer to the sun, and in winter the sun will be further away."
Ah Chou pointed his hand towards the sky and said: "Then let me ask you, it's almost noon now, the sun is like a disk, but the sun you see in the morning is as big as a wheel. Shouldn't the sun in the morning be bigger?"
Closer to us?”
Liu Yu said without thinking: "That's because when you look at it in the morning, there are big trees and houses in front of the sun, so it looks bigger, but at noon, there is a vast sky behind the sun, so it looks smaller. It just feels different.
, in fact, the sun is always the same size."
A Chou thought for a while and didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked again: "Then tell me, why is it that the sun is hotter on our bodies now than in the morning? Is it because the sun at noon is closer to us?
.”
Liu Yu said proudly: "The sun was shining directly at noon, so it felt hotter. Forget it, you don't understand anyway, so hurry up and call me brother."
In fact, on the same day, the distance between the earth and the sun is also different in the morning, evening and noon, but the distance between the earth and the sun is too far, and this small change is almost negligible.
In fact, Liu Yu didn't really understand these complicated knowledge. It was some time ago that Cai Yan came to ask Ma Yun for advice and also asked about the two children's debate about the sun. Liu Yu happened to be nearby and heard it. Liu Yu already had some knowledge at this time.
Liu Yu had a strong thirst for knowledge. After hearing Ma Yun's explanation to Cai Yan, he didn't quite understand it. He pestered Ma Yun and asked her to explain it again. Even so, Liu Yu still didn't understand, but he had an excellent memory.
I wrote these words down hard.
This also involves a lot of other knowledge. First of all, it must be based on the "heliocentric theory", so Cai Yan can understand it. Liu Yu is too young after all. Although he has heard Ma Yun say that the earth revolves around the sun since he was a child,
It is still a bit difficult to understand this knowledge. As for A Chou, he is still at the stage of "geocentric theory", let alone understand these principles. He thought for a long time and said: "I don't know if you are right.
I'll ask my dad when I get back."
Everyone laughed when they saw her serious look.
At the moment when the two children were arguing, Liu Xin had quietly pulled Cai Yan aside, asked Cai Yue about the purpose of her mother and daughter's visit, and told Cai Yan to talk to them later to see if they could let them
Cai Jue took it back.
Cai Yue had been very nervous just now. Now she saw that her daughter and Liu Yu were not quarreling. They were just arguing about these things. She felt relieved. Only then did she find Liu Xin and Ma Yun coming over. She hurriedly said a blessing and said:
"A commoner woman has met your lord. My little girl is in a state of incompetence, so please forgive me."
Liu Xin waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite, and said: "It is always inevitable for children to bump into each other. What's more, they just have different views on things, it's not a big deal. The little girl is very smart, and I like it very much.
what's your name?"
Cai Yue leaned forward and said, "My little girl Huang Shuo, whose nickname is Yueying, is ugly. My husband and I call her Ah Chou."
Liu Xin and Ma Yun looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Her name is Huang Yueying?!"
