Chapter 181: Competition

In the second year of Qingli, this is a turning point, the unpredictable situation in the court, every day there are new officials taking office, and there are also old officials being demoted, the people below are conscientiously doing their own work, several people above sit firmly in Diaoyutai, Zhao Zhen is like a black hand behind the scenes, Queen Cao is about to give birth, his temper is more irritable, irritable.

The work in his hand is pushed to the prime minister and the governor, his heart is all on this soon-to-be-born child, Wang Weiwei and the three apprentices take turns to guard, taking care of Empress Cao without pretending to be others, the palace medicinal kitchen, the medicinal materials in the treasury can be used casually, as long as you say that it is useful, then you can take it away, Lu Zifei gave Qiao He said that Yunnan Baiyao easily gathered the medicinal materials here, so that they also knew the benefits of the royal family and the benefits of rights.

Zhao Zhen walked in Qiao He put his hand to his mouth, meaning not to let him speak, the two of them walked outside, Qiao He finished saluting and said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, Niangniang's body is very normal, the emperor has been a little angry in the past two days, and he needs to take some medicine for ignition." ”

"Although I have never met your husband, I can also see from many correspondences with him that he is not a groveling person, thinking about his words, I vaguely saw his appearance in you, I will not say the importance of this child, did your husband explain anything to you when you came." Zhao Zhen asked Qiao He to sit down and talk.

Qiao He said: "Mr. is a pedantic, the emperor may not like to hear this sentence I said below, Mr. is the god in our hearts, omnipotent, Mr. said to me when he left, the child in the queen's womb can be used without surgery, and it must be used with the consent of the emperor, caesarean section is the last resort, he asked me to bring a word to the emperor, your body insists on using the method he taught you, and the child will be more annoying to you in the future, and your body has no problems." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "His mouth is very comforting, his arrival has brought me too many surprises, I asked him to come to the capital I gave him a champion, I don't want to, I have to try it myself, there are other aspects of wisdom, I also believe that the champion is not so easy, pass five levels and kill six generals, all the way to the city must not have the slightest sloppiness, stubborn donkey." ”

Qiao He said: "Sir's thoughts are not something we can speculate, the emperor asked people to remove some ice cubes!" The temperature in Huining Palace is too low, which will make the queen mother cold, and the more ice this thing is, the better. ”

"Your husband's wisdom is all used on these strange and obscene skills, and I won't be so dismissive of him if I use these thoughts in my homework, you can sell ice on Zhuangzi for a lot of money on such a hot day!"

Qiao He said: "The emperor thought wrong, the weather was very hot that day, the students and younger brothers and sisters couldn't stand it in class to find Mr., Mr. saw the hot tongue of the dog sent by the prince of Qingtang, so he told us this method, when I came to the capital, my younger brothers and sisters sold popsicles in Luoyang to save them private money, and Mr. didn't look down on this little money." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "I am worried about money all day long in this prison, he is good, the ice sold to those cities in the south has an income of hundreds of thousands of yuan every day!" Dozens of your students sell a lot of money a day, and all of them are taken back to subsidize the family? ”

"My parents don't allow us to take back the things in my husband's house, my husband has invested too much money in us, we use this money to print our favorite books, strange things, not all of our younger brothers and sisters are selling popsicles, they also have their own things to do, raising chickens, ducks, and pigs are all done by them, and the average score is not much, a few hundred dollars a day!"

Zhao Zhen asked: "Why can someone go to Luoyang to sell popsicles, but someone raises poultry at home, and your husband treats students differently!" Doesn't he preach equality for all? ”

Qiao He replied: "Mr. is not that kind of person, some younger brothers are still young, they love to mess around, Mr. does not punish them, let them do what they can, they always want to skip school, Mr. has no choice but to do so." ”

After half a year of training and education, a farmer's child can talk eloquently in front of him, just by virtue of this, he has surpassed many of his peers, many new science and technology jinshi are nervous and speechless when they see themselves for the first time, will those young children become the same demon as him in ten years, Zhao Zhen came up with an idea in his heart, and took all these children under his command.

"Qiao He, you will stay in the palace in the future, how about it, there are abundant medicinal materials and resources for you to use, and you can call on manpower at will, including human experiments that you are not good at doing in Luoyang, it is not a matter here, I can meet everything for you in this palace, these are what your husband can't give you."

"The emperor has fallen in love with the boy, I have been with my husband and Wang Lao for half a year, and there are still many things I want to learn, and when the boy learns something, he will come to the palace to serve the emperor."

Zhao Zhen was disappointed, that stinky boy is popular but not comparable to others, high-ranking officials and generous people, money and beauties can't touch their hearts, in fact, he chose the wrong person, Qiao He has been by Lu Zifei's side for the longest time, he is known for his kindness, studious, diligent, and has no great attraction to money under the influence of Mr., he can withdraw less than 1,000 yuan at a time in the account room at home, this is the right that Lu Zifei gave him as a senior brother, Xu Anxin, who has a detached personality, may really succeed if he tempts a few times, and he is doomed to be in vain if he chooses the wrong person.

Zeng Gongliang was very angry, especially angry, the Confucian disciples actually had a tie with the Moxue people in the history of the scriptures, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, as the main team members Mei Yaochen, Su Shunqin, Shao Yong lowered his head and did not dare to look at a few people in the stand, Wan Ming and Liu Yong still looked unfazed.

Mo Xuan didn't expect these people to have such a deep foundation, these people sent by the family are the older generation who have learned from the past and the present, not only have achievements in ink learning, but also are very proficient in the classics of the Mo family, and do their best not to lose, the following links are free to play according to the arrangement of both parties, and the two sides will answer each other's questions.

Zeng Gongliang said: "In the first debate of economic history, I don't think the two sides won or lost, what do you think? ”

Mo Xuan saw several old people in the family nodding at him and said, "Master Zeng is impartial and fair, and the students admire him." ”

Zeng Gongliang snorted angrily and said: "Although I am very disappointed in the three of them, but Confucianism can also afford to lose. ”

Mo Xuan said: "Then we will take it personally, if Han Zhang is here, I will directly choose to admit defeat, he is not in us or a little confident, if we win, Lord Zeng, don't say that we are in danger." ”

Zeng Gongliang said with a dark face: "You just have to ask the question, the Great Song Dynasty can produce many people, several of us are unknown characters, we can't answer it, there is always someone who can answer it." ”

"Then listen, this question is a question that we often encounter in our lives, why is the skin of hard-boiled eggs easy to peel after being soaked in cold water? A stick of incense time, if you can't answer, even if you lose. ”

What is this problem, Mei Yaochen felt that the other party would ask some esoteric and difficult ancient texts to stump them, who wanted to ask a common sense of life that everyone usually doesn't pay attention to, he really couldn't figure out why.

Shen Kuo, who was sitting next to Wan Ming, said, "Grandpa, I know, Mr. told me." ”

Wan Ming asked in surprise, "Do you really know?" ”

Wu Pan pouted and said: "Mr. dislikes him for being too thin, and boils eggs for him to eat every day, he can't peel it off, and Mr. saw it and taught him a way, the same as what the man said, I didn't pay attention to it, Shen Kuo knew that he was a good baby in Mr.'s heart." ”

Shen Kuo retorted: "Don't think I don't know, after Mr. left, you secretly gave all the eggs to Changmao to eat, and I will tell Mr. when Mr. comes back, and let him punish you for cleaning the pigsty for a month." ”

Wu Pan squeezed his eyebrows at his good brother on the side, Wan Ming said with a smile: "Don't be naughty, what's the matter with eggs for dogs, Xiao Kuo, you go up and answer their questions, how about Grandpa Wan calling you martial arts, you will no longer have to be bullied by Wu Pan after you learn it, and you can beat him in turn." ”

This is the master, who knows how to prescribe the right medicine, using the child's desire to win as bait, not afraid that he will not take the bait, Shen Kuo nodded fiercely, and walked to the front of the stage like a little adult.

Mo Xue and Mo Hui pointed at Shen Kuo and smiled, and he said, "You won't let a little child answer this question, right?" ”

Shen Kuo was still very nervous in his heart, but he pretended to be mature and said: "I am a disciple of my husband, and my husband is not a disciple to do it for me, and your question is not too difficult, the master of the family doesn't want to bully people, so I came up." ”

Zeng Gongliang said to Shao Yong: "Aren't you fooling around? What does such a young child know. ”

Shao Yong said: "Hanzhang is usually very busy, and he doesn't have time to review his homework, don't look at Shen Kuo, my lord, is only eight or nine years old, he is taught by Hanzhang, and he is better than us in this regard." ”

Mo Xuan said: "Then you can take your husband to answer!" ”

Shen Kuo said seriously: "This is the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and the water pipe at home is frozen and cracked, it will open when the temperature is high, and it will shrink when the temperature is low, so the egg is full of eggshells after cooking, and the yolk inside will become smaller under the influence of cold water, and it will be much easier to peel it." ”

Several elders of Moxue applauded at the same time, Wan Ming and Zeng Gongliang smiled as if they had answered by themselves, and one of them took Mo Xuan's place and said, "This time is really an eye-opener, and you will come up with the question next." ”

Wu Pan saw that Shen Kuo had stolen such a big limelight, ran to the stage and said, "Can I also make a debut question, I guarantee that you can't answer it." ”

Shao Yong looked at Wu Pan with a smile, this kid usually has the most strange ideas, but he is unwilling to use them in learning, and he is not weak in terms of intelligence Shen Kuo, Wan Ming has no opinion, a child has already won a game, it doesn't matter if he loses, he should save face for the other party.
