After a dispute with Yang Yiming, Xie Wanquan had already made up his mind to return to his hometown, however, when Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang brought the news that shocked him to the point of speechlessness, and then quietly left, he changed his mind and decided to stay for a few more days to see the scenery. And then, he once again experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the world was hot and cold.

The fact that Confucius and Wu Ge Lao spoke for him was confirmed by the endless stream of visitors—and of course, they also confirmed the deep hatred of Shoufu Jiang Ge Lao. Of course, everyone who brought this news would all categorically say that they were on Xie Wanquan's side, and then say something like that there are axioms and justices in the world, so that he should not worry about Jiang Ge Lao.

After a day or two, Xie Wanquan was naturally annoyed, but his scholar and long-term follower felt relieved.

My son-in-law doesn't have to return home with notoriety.,Although he has hated Lord Shoufu.,But it's already the attention of the second assistant and the third assistant.,In the case of a bad situation.,This is already the best result.。

Therefore, when Xie Wanquan quietly took them out early in the morning, the two of them learned that Xie Wanquan was going to Zhang's house, and he really planned to help Zhang Shou move, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

"Childe, although Dr. Zhang is very hot now, since you are not a prisoner, he can't help you much. You don't have to be so quiet to do things for him. ”

Hearing the scholar whispering for himself, Xie Wanquan shook his head disapprovingly and said, "You don't understand these things, don't comment on yourself." As for Dr. Zhang asking me to go, he also made it clear, just wanting to ask me for a favor. Whether it's to make up for my previous mistakes or to make my trip smoother in the future, this trip is necessary. Well, you don't have to talk about it. ”

Since Xie Wanquan had an idea, his scholar and Chang Sui immediately shut up, and no one planned to continue to show their loyalty with a blind face. When they found Zhang's house in the back street of Zhaofu all the way, they saw that several big cars were parked at the door, and more than a dozen strong and uniformly dressed men were carrying large bags and small bags in and out, the most of which were bookcases.

As for why Xie Wanquan knew that it was a bookbox, the reason was very simple, because there were labels on all the boxes. It's just that, compared with the labels he is most familiar with, such as scriptures, history, and miscellaneous records, there are also labels that he is completely unfamiliar with, such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Seeing that the full one or twenty heavy bookcases were carried into the car from in front of him, Xie Wanquan couldn't help but stop and watch, until he heard a loud hey, he came back to his senses and looked at it, and saw that it was Zhu Ying, and he was so frightened that he took a step back, and then hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Miss Zhu." ”

Zhu Ying looked Xie Wanquan up and down for a while, and then snorted softly: "Ah Shou told me that you are going to help today." Look at your thin body, you can't pick up your shoulders and your hands can't lift, what can you do? Forget it, since Ah Shou said it, you can come in, anyway, there's nothing you can't watch! "Fortunately, she stopped the eldest brother who came to help early!

Seeing that Zhu Ying didn't go back into the house after saying this, Xie Wanquan didn't go in or retreat, he thought about it, but he still followed the door in the end. When he saw Zhu Ying smiling and holding a woman who should be quite young, but had already seen the wind and frost between his eyebrows, and learned that it was Zhang Shou's mother, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and after saying a few words, his heart was full of incredulity.

How could such a woman, who is absolutely not generous and insightful, raise a son like Zhang Shou? Even if there is a rumor on the side of the Shuntian Mansion, on the archived marriage certificate, Zhang Shou's biological mother is not Wu, but the person is the adoptive mother, which is undoubtedly true.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xie Wanquan couldn't think much about it, and when he learned that there were still many books in the study that had not yet been sorted out, he immediately offered to help sort them out. He originally thought that he would not be promised if he was so presumptuous, but what he never expected was that Zhu Ying glanced at Wu and directly agreed on her behalf.

"Ah Shou doesn't have much free time, all kinds of books are sorted and thrown in boxes, you can go and help."

Xie Wanquan didn't quite understand what it meant to throw them in boxes at first, however, when he opened those boxes, he found that the books were not stacked neatly, but stacked with more than ten or twenty books, and he was used to being neat.

Seeing that no one really cared if he would peek at it, after he finished sorting out a box, he casually opened a book in the bookcase with Li Zi written on it. However, when he saw the dense graphic diagram and the various symbols that he couldn't understand at all, his scalp suddenly went numb.

At this moment, Xie Wanquan finally understood a little why Zhang Shou was not afraid of others seeing these books - because except for some specific groups of people, such as him, even if these books were given to him, he would not be able to read them at all!

Because Zhang Shou has already been classified, all Xie Wanquan has to do is to stack it neatly, and as for the handling, he has a servant from the Zhao Guogong Mansion to do it for him, so he did it in less than two quarters of an hour, and Zhang Shou's study and living room was completely emptied. When Zhu Ying shouted outside and got into the car to go to Zhang Yuan, he glanced at the furniture that was obviously left by the previous owner, and followed out after a while.

Zhang Shou, a poor man who really grew up in the countryside, arrived in the capital in less than a year, and the road he completed was farther than what he had completed in three years. In a sense, he was very unconvinced, but he had to be convinced. Because there are many things that even Tang Ming, the senior brother of Xie Yuan, whom he has always thought is a genius, has not done it, let alone the adventure of getting the emperor's blue eyes.

Xie Wanquan rode a horse and hung at the end of the long convoy, but when he came to Zhang Yuan, he found that the convoy here had not yet begun to unload, but something was already being moved at the gate. Among them was a machine that he was vaguely familiar with.

He was thinking about where he had seen this when he heard a surprised voice from behind him: "That's not ...... Spinning wheels? Could it be that Dr. Zhang's mother is now in the city and plans to spin yarn to make a living? ”

Unlike Changsui's short-sightedness, Xie Wanquan suddenly came back to his senses and remembered one of Zhang Shou's great achievements - the new spinning machine that made the eldest prince and the second prince face full of blood. He came to his senses as he watched the spinning machine being carried into the garden, followed by another cart with a large pile of various wooden parts.

If Zhang Shou hadn't raised one or two carpenters and blacksmiths a long time ago, how could the textile machine be done?

As he was thinking so, a young man who was too young appeared at the gate, looking a little shy, and when he talked to the servant who carried things, he couldn't help but bend down and nod, as if he were a schoolboy. Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zhu Ying beckoning to the person with a smile, and after that, the person ran over quickly.

The next moment, he heard Zhu Ying call his name: "Xie Wanquan, you have little strength, you don't need to move these things, just let your two followers help here." You go and send Guan Xiaoqiu, he is familiar with here, you see where you need help, just help him. ”

Guan Xiaoqiu? Xie Wanquan was chewing on the name suspiciously, but he saw the young man who had just noticed him and said helplessly: "Miss Zhu, my name is Guan Qiu, not Guan Xiaoqiu." ”

"Xiao Guanqiu, you just don't know how to joke! It's all the same, you're younger than me anyway! Zhu Ying glared at Guan Qiu a little unreasonably, then glanced at him, and finally said with a smile, "You've been here once before, don't just bother assembling your weird things and snub Gongzi Xie, he's much more knowledgeable than you." ”

"Originally, everyone was more knowledgeable than me, but I just barely recognized a lot of words." Guan Qiu muttered a few words, but in the end he calmly walked up to Xie Wanquan, and arched his hand with very non-standard etiquette, "Gongzi Xie, please come with me." ”

Xie Wanquan didn't have time to think about it, and ordered his eldest entourage and scholar to listen to Zhu Ying's orders, so he hurriedly dismounted and followed Guan Qiu into the gate. It's just that before stepping into the threshold, he couldn't help but stare at the sign of the garden by the door, and then heard Guan Qiu in front of him whisper: "These two words are said to be written by the eldest lady and asked the emperor to write them." ”

Although he knew that Zhu Ying's entry and exit from the palace was commonplace, Xie Wanquan couldn't help but be speechless for a while at this moment. Even if the top high-ranking officials and ministers can be given the words by the emperor, it is a great honor, and it is even more difficult to ask the Son of Heaven to write a plaque, but this eldest lady is good, and she is going to have a word, but she is not offered, but casually hung next to the door.

It's like an ordinary house with a wooden sign on the wall next to the door to distinguish it from other neighbors...... Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that it is not the kind of plaque that is hung high, and it is not too ostentatious, so the emperor easily agreed to the inscription?

Xie Wanquan was thinking wildly, Guan Qiu had already taken him into Zhang Yuan.

He has been in the capital for three years, and he is also one of the famous talents, so he has also attended many elegant dignitaries and dignitaries when they drink and feast, so he has seen many rich and noble courts. But walking in this Zhang Garden at this time, he realized why it was rumored that this garden was robbed by the emperor and King Lu.

The layout is atmospheric, the houses are exquisite, and many very inconspicuous corners can see extremely delicate wood carvings and stone carvings, and they still seem to be well maintained after many years of wind and rain. Even when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he had seen many gardens known as famous gardens, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, and most importantly, he noticed that this garden actually led to living water.

Even top dignitaries may not have this treatment!

was smacking his tongue in his heart about Zhang Shou's good luck, and Xie Wanquan couldn't help but be in a trance. But at this moment, he found that Guan Qiu had stopped in front of him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised to notice that he was in a courtyard with a high wall, but there was no main house in this courtyard, only a small house at the gate of the courtyard, which did not look in the same way as the beautiful house he had just seen along the road.

"The underground here is a secret room left over from the past, and almost the entire underside of this courtyard has been hollowed out, so there are probably no buildings on the ground. Dr. Zhang submitted the drawings of the secret room, which was originally intended to be filled in, but the emperor said that there was no need to build a large number of buildings, and it was better to keep the waste for use, so Dr. Zhang turned this into a workshop, and I moved all those things in. ”

Xie Wanquan was certainly a little concerned about the so-called secret room, but when he heard that the emperor didn't care, of course he wouldn't continue to think about it. After listening to Guan Qiu's words, he keenly captured the words of my things, and he was immediately surprised.

"It turns out that you are not an apprentice, junior brother Guan?"

Guan Qiu smiled: "I am an apprentice who has not yet graduated from the master, I used to like to ask questions from the master, not to mention the master, even the senior brothers all dislike me one by one." Later, Dr. Zhang recruited me to do things, but he always thought my questions were very interesting, and gave me money and materials, which was better than my parents and me! ”

Although this is not very clear, Xie Wanquan is a smart person in the end, and hurriedly asked: "Did you make the new textile machine before?" ”

"No, it was Dr. Zhang who drew the drawings, and Fourth Brother Zhao and Big Brother Luo made it." Guan Qiu groped for the opening mechanism on the edge of the courtyard wall, opened the secret passage, and then went down the steps by himself, regardless of whether Xie Wanquan followed behind him, and said without looking back, "Dr. Zhang originally gave them a lot of reward, but the whimsical ideas are all Dr. Zhang's, and no one can take credit." ”

Hearing that the new textile machine was not made by Guan Qiu, Xie Wanquan felt a little relieved, and secretly thought that the age was there, a Zhang Shou was already very scary, if every teenager could have outstanding talents, let alone him...... Wouldn't all the elderly people in the court who were on a vegetarian diet die of shame?

He asked two more words, and learned that Zhao Si and Luo Xiaoxiao still got a rich reward, and in the future, the textile machine may be called Zhao Luo Spinning Wheel, he still secretly sighed, thinking that Zhang Shou really didn't want to be famous, otherwise it would be called Zhang's Spinning Wheel, what else can outsiders say?

When he finally walked the long steps and was down-to-earth, Xie Wanquan found that the air was not as turbid as he imagined, and although the oil lamps around him were a little dim, after walking down the passage, he found that the top was still chiseled into the wall to attract light. When he saw clearly that this was a stone chamber with a radius of at least twenty steps, he couldn't help but think that he didn't know how much effort it took to get here.

However, the places where the armor soldiers were supposed to ambush and store their weapons were now stacked with countless wooden parts.

"Gongzi Xie, look at this, Dr. Zhang said that the heavy object hangs and swings, according to our ordinary people's imagination, it is natural to fall from a height, and it takes a week to swing, but in fact it is not the case......"

"Xie Gongzi, look, a copper ball and a stone ball, of the same size and weight, actually landed at the same time from the same height."

"Gongzi Xie, look at this ......"

Xie Wanquan was dragged by Guan Qiu to watch one strange little experiment after another, and thought that there were often such experiments in the Banshan Hall, and such a class was called physics, and he suddenly understood the origin of Zhang Shou's bookbox labels before. However, the next example that Guan Qiu came up with shocked him.

Dr. Zhang said that since water can be used to drive waterwheels, it is used to water the ground. So, if boiling water can overturn the weight on the lid of the pot, can this thrust be used for something else? For example, pulling or pushing heavy objects? ”
