Su Xueyun was not affected by the tense atmosphere at all, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile: "The foundation of a person lies in the desire of the heart. Even if a person is full of wealth, he may not be a good person for the country and his family, so it can be seen that it does not matter what kind of knowledge he likes, what matters is a person's character. As for how miscellaneous science can invent something useful, it is not easy, because every thing that has been invented in history can bring a lot of changes to the world, how can such a rare thing be easily invented? In other words, if all useful inventions come out all at once, it is not necessarily a good thing for the world to change too much. But no matter what, there must be someone who loves miscellaneous science and concentrates on research in order to have good inventions. ”

Hua Taishi squinted at her, "You can speak well, and it seems that your knowledge is not weak." ”

Su Xueyun said: "I don't have any preference for learning, and I have always learned what I need in life. As for things that you don't need, you can learn them in your spare time, but you don't learn them when you're busy, such as poems and paintings, most people don't need them. ”

There was a hint of anger on Hua Taishi's face, "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting can improve a person's literacy, but you actually say that these are useless?" ”

Su Xueyun got up and blessed him, and said: "Master Tai, don't blame, for ordinary people, food and clothing are the most important thing, and if you insist on pursuing all-round talents in civil and military affairs......

Mrs. Taishi hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

Su Xueyun looked at Master Hua's face and said, "Put the cart before the horse." ”

Hua Taishi slapped the table and said angrily: "What do you know about a woman's family? Dare to make a big fuss in front of the old man? ”

Mrs. Taishi hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Master, if you have something to say, don't be angry, be careful of getting angry." ”

Qiu Xiang also hurriedly pleaded, "Master, madam, my sister didn't mean to offend, I beg my lord and Mrs. to forgive." ”

Qiu Xiang pulled Su Xueyun to kneel, but Su Xueyun didn't move, patted her hand comfortingly, looked at Hua Taishi and said: "Taishi is a high and powerful position, and he assists the emperor to do his best, presumably he has been doing his best for the people of the world for decades in his life." Taishi is for the country and the people, which is really admired by the people's women. However, the women of the people have something to ask for advice, and the master works so hard, but in order to make the people worry-free in their lives? ”

Hua Taishi said with a cold face: "That's nature. ”

Su Xueyun continued: "Taishi is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so the root of living and working in peace and contentment can be related to learning? There are very few people among the people who can write or martial arts, but the world is peaceful, and the people are exempted from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people can read and write, learn arithmetic, and open a shop for a happy life. Everyone in the world has their own choices, some people are determined to serve the country loyally, some people only love idle clouds and wild cranes, and some people only want their families to be healthy and safe, and there is nothing else to ask for. And everyone does only for one thing, that is, to live a happy life. It is precisely because of these different people that time and everything can be balanced, even so, there is nothing wrong with choosing what kind of life, and there is nothing wrong with whether you like literature and martial arts, as long as you can live a life of peace and joy, then it will not be in vain to go through time! ”

As soon as Su Xueyun's words fell, there was a burst of applause outside the door, and a young man walked in and said happily: "Well said, there is nothing wrong with learning anything, you can do useful things!" ”

Hua Taishi slapped the table fiercely, "Wenwu!" When you see me and your mother, you don't know how to say hello, what about your etiquette? ”

Hua Wenwu is young man, when he heard this, he shrank his shoulders, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, he lowered his head and saluted in a proper manner, and said in a low voice: "My son has seen his father and his mother." ”

Hua Taishi became angry when he saw his appearance, pointed at him and said: "You said that Qiu Yue said it well, what she said was that she was a father-in-law, and people like miscellaneous studies and can use miscellaneous studies to save the life of the lady, what about you?" What can you do with miscellaneous? ”

Hua Wenwu looked up at him cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Mrs. Hua said angrily: "What are you looking at? I'm asking you something, and you still don't say it?! ”

Hua Wenwu looked at Mrs. Taishi, and said hesitantly: "If you go back to your father, I will ...... I've invented a lot of things, and although I don't think it's very useful yet, I've made a lot of progress, and I'm sure I'll be able to invent something useful in the future. ”

"Later! Later! When will it be in the future? If you had put your mind on reading, how could you not even remember a few lines of poetry now? Your name is Hua Wenwu, but you can't do it, how could I give birth to a son like you? It's really a loser, don't be stupid, I'm angry! Hua Taishi's chest kept rising and falling, and when he heard Hua Wenwu's words, he scolded without caring that Su Xueyun was still there.

Hua Wenwu lowered his head and looked at the ground, a little scared, a little numb, and didn't dare to move.

Mrs. Taishi hurriedly gave Hua Taishi a good breath and persuaded him not to be angry with the child. Then he looked at Hua Wenwu, then at Su Xueyun, and said, "Qiuyue, in addition to saving you with miscellaneous science, did your husband use miscellaneous science to invent anything?" ”

Su Xueyun nodded and smiled as a matter of course: "My father-in-law invented explosives, explosives of the same size but twice as powerful. ”

Hua Taishi turned his head to look at her suddenly, "What did you say?" Dynamite? ”

Su Xueyun said: "Yes, with only a woman's fist-sized explosives, such a large mansion as the Taishi Mansion can be razed to the ground." Of course, this kind of thing can't be used casually, and it can't fall into the hands of people with bad intentions, so my husband has already destroyed things, just remembering the method. Today, I was fortunate to meet the Grand Master, so I dared to say this, hoping that it would be of some use to the imperial court, and that my husband had not wasted so much thought in vain. ”

Hua Taishi stood up, unconsciously paced back and forth, and said after a while: "At this time tomorrow, you will bring your father-in-law, and I will ask him personally." ”

Su Xueyun responded, "Yes, Taishi." ”

Hua Taishi glanced at Hua Wenwu and said coldly: "Just because someone can invent it doesn't mean that you can invent it too!" What's more, Qiuyue, her husband not only did these things with miscellaneous studies, but now she has also entered Beijing to take the imperial examination, at least she is already a lifter, what about you? Maybe she is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics to invent useful things, you don't read well, you only know how to invent some things for children to play with, what can you do? ”

Hua Wenwu couldn't help but look at Su Xueyun and said tentatively: "Dad, since Qiuyue's husband is so powerful, can you let me learn from him?" ”

Hua Taishi was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Xueyun, and said, "I'll talk about this matter later, I don't know if I have real skills, hum." ”

Su Xueyun said with a smile: "Although he is one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, my husband is indeed inferior to the other three talents in terms of literature. My husband is partial to miscellaneous studies and likes to invent things, which may not be easy for people to accept. He is a descendant of Wen Tianxiang, and his father is the best Qing official in the hearts of the people of Suzhou, so he always takes Confucius and Mencius to heart, and his greatest wish is to serve the imperial court as an official. In my opinion, Wen Zhengming is really a top talent, and he must be in high school this time! ”

Hua Taishi snorted lightly, stroked his beard and said, "What do you think? How much do you know? Not everyone can pass the championship, and he has to pass the test to know if he has the talent. However, seeing that you are very much in the respect of miscellaneous studies, you must have some ability to praise this talented man so much now. Wen Tianxiang's descendants, if he can not fall into the reputation of his ancestors, he can be regarded as an ambitious person. So, he is the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan? ”

Su Xueyun smiled slightly, and said: "That's not it, the talent competition is different from the top exam, although Wen Zhengming is the top talent, but he still lacks a bit of flexibility in the competition, which is inevitable, he has been determined to study and take the imperial examination since he was a child, and he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he has been negligent in other aspects, and he will naturally change when he experiences more things in the future." When it comes to the most knowledgeable and flexible of the four talents, it is none other than Zhou Wenbin, who has wandered in a foreign land since he was a child, and only returned to the Central Plains from Persia a few months ago. He and Wen Zhengming's experience is the opposite, he has also studied hard since he was a child, but at the same time, he has to wander around, running for a living, and has experienced countless hardships to hone his character to be flexible and flexible, because he is in a foreign land, his life is also unstable, and he is naturally worse than the other three students in terms of history books and scriptures, in short, they have their own strengths. ”

Hua Taishi thought for a moment and asked, "Zhou Wenbin?" But the Zhou Wenbin who reported to Dali Temple to ask for his grandfather to overturn the case? ”

Su Xueyun nodded, "Exactly, his grandfather was wronged back then, and he couldn't return to the Central Plains in his life, and after Zhou Wenbin came back, he was bent on overturning the case for his grandfather, hoping to return the old man's innocence." ”

Mrs. Taishi hurriedly asked, "I haven't come back for a lifetime, so serious?" What the hell is going on? Can the case be overturned after so many years? ”

Hua Taishi said: "It was a theft case, Zhou Yuancai was wrongfully accused of being a thief back then, and now the real thief has been found and has pleaded guilty, this case can naturally be rehabilitated." ”

Mrs. Taishi was curious: "So amazing? Qiuyue, tell us what the hell is going on, why did Zhou Wenbin find the thief when he came back a few months ago? If it was so easy to find, why didn't the government find it in the first place? Is there something hidden in it? ”

Mrs. Taishi thought that this was more interesting than the drama, so she hurriedly asked a few people to sit down, and ordered Chunxiang and Dongxiang to go and bring refreshments, ready to listen to the cause and effect.

Mrs. Taishi's question was in Su Xueyun's arms, and she immediately told Zhou Wenbin the original story. not only explained the causes and consequences of Zhou Yuancai's wrongdoing, but also told Zhou Wenbin about challenging Suzhou Sanbao for revenge. She didn't add oil and vinegar, but skillfully highlighted Zhou Wenbin's filial piety and excellence.

In fact, this is also the case, if Tang Bohu didn't let Qiu Yue scatter the five stones on Zhou Wenbin's pen in the end, Tang Bohu might not be able to win. Although Tang Bohu thought that his brother was dead, his feelings exploded, and he drew a lotus flower that could bloom and gave it to Wen Zhengming, who was innocently involved, which touched everyone, but in fact, Wen Zhengming was only slightly injured and did not die, then this story is fake, and everyone's moving is naturally not counted. And although Zhou Wenbin's picture of purgatory in the world is a little scary, he painted his grandfather, and the deeds he told are also true. That competition is more touching than whether the painting skills can move people, in fact, the fair judgment should be Zhou Wenbin's!

In this way, if Zhou Wenbin is not in a hurry to take revenge and can come steadily, the number one talent in Jiangnan may not be Tang Bohu.

Su Xueyun told these things in an emotional voice, and Mrs. Taishi's eyes moistened a little when she heard it. Mrs. Taishi pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "It turns out that their family is so miserable, it is really not easy for Zhou Wenbin to overturn the case for his grandfather at such a young age." But he is also too anxious, how can he choose people randomly? When you meet that kind of bad person, once you fall into trouble, you will be treated as an outcast, it's really pitiful. ”

The smile on Su Xueyun's face gradually disappeared, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Madam is right, their Zhou family is indeed unlucky." Sixty years ago, Zhou Wenbin's grandfather believed in his friend, but he was suspected of stealing money by his friend and was wronged for the rest of his life. And now, in order to overturn the case for his grandfather, Zhou Wenbin believed the person he took refuge with, but it didn't matter if he broke his arm by that person, he even used his identity to disqualify Zhou Wenbin from participating in the scientific examination! Poor Zhou Wenbin begged hard every day in order to get a letter of recommendation from my teacher, and finally got my teacher's approval and got the letter of recommendation, but when he arrived in the capital, he was rejected by that person in one sentence. ”

Mrs. Taishi was surprised: "What? How could there be such a thing? She turned her head to look at Master Hua and asked, "Master, didn't you say that Enke is very important this time?" How can anyone sway the invigilator? ”

Master Hua looked at Su Xueyun and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, the emperor specially appointed King Ning to be in charge of this Enke exam, and also issued a strict order, there can be no mistakes or omissions, how can it be possible to casually cancel a candidate's reference qualification?" No way! ”

Su Xueyun deliberately showed a look of sudden realization and said: "No wonder, it turned out that King Ning was in charge, and the person who canceled Zhou Wenbin's reference qualification was Zhu Zijian, the righteous son of King Ning!" Originally, we wanted to see if there was any other way, but now it seems that we can only wait three years to come back, and we have to pray that after three years, King Ning will not be in charge of the imperial examination again. She shook her head helplessly, "I didn't believe that anyone could cover the sky with one hand at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but now I really believe it." It turns out that it is useless to study hard in the cold window, the most important thing is to be able to get into the eyes of the superiors, otherwise no matter how strong you are, you can't match a word from the other party. ”

Hua Taishi was furious when he heard this, grabbed the teacup and fell out, patted the table and said angrily: "King Ning dares to do this?!" He clearly doesn't put the emperor in his eyes, he doesn't put the old man in his eyes, he keeps saying that he is recruiting talents for the imperial court, and he still wants to put some door gods to calm the soul of the student, the old man still thinks that he is finally doing things, but he didn't expect that he dared to arbitrarily decide the reference qualifications of the student behind his back! What's the use of having rules like this? ”

He stood up suddenly, "No, the old man will definitely join him!" ”

After Hua Taishi finished speaking, he strode towards the study, Mrs. Taishi shouted twice behind him, shook her head helplessly, and said to Su Xueyun: "Let's leave him alone, the master is so jealous and hateful, and he can't see others unruly." However, the righteous son of King Ning is too much, and King Ning, as his father-in-law, also has a history of not teaching, and he deserves to be involved. ”

Hua Wenwu nodded and said: "Yes, Zhou Wenbin knows so many things, if he can do things for the court in high school, he will definitely be able to make a big difference, it's a pity to be trampled on by bad guys like this." Qiu Yue, and your husband is also very capable! He suddenly asked a little embarrassed, "Qiuyue, are you...... Can you bring him with you sooner tomorrow? I wanted to ask my dad some questions before he met him. ”

Su Xueyun looked at his expectant eyes, and did not agree directly, but looked at Mrs. Taishi. It was rare for Mrs. Taishi to see her son so studious, although it was still miscellaneous, but thinking that Chen Xiaosheng might be able to teach her son, she nodded and agreed, and said, "Qiuyue, why don't you bring Zhou Wenbin over tomorrow." ”

Su Xueyun nodded slightly, and responded with a smile, "Yes, madam." ”
