Chen Hongmi's heart was suspicious, and his face was naturally colored.

Hua Xue used to be Miss's personal slave, because she was still young, her main task was not to be a bodyguard, but just to make Miss happy. And because of the restrictions of the slave shackles, in his heart at that time, the status of the young lady was supreme.

In the past thirteen years, Hua Xue has only thought about one thing in her whole heart for almost as long as she can remember: how to make Miss happy. To make the young lady happy, to understand whether the young lady is unhappy or not, and why she is unhappy, is the first premise. Therefore, Hua Xue has developed the ability to observe words and emotions in Miss. Although this skill was originally only aimed at the young lady alone, under the bypass, the psychological activities of other people, although they cannot be penetrated, at least they can understand whether they believe or doubt.

On the other hand, the predecessor of an orphan, after the death of the husband who adopted him, was able to keep that piece of family business, although he was taken care of by the neighbors, and he also had his kung fu to deter Xiaoxiao, but the people were sophisticated and must be transparent.

Hua Xue not only has the ability to observe words and colors that she has practiced since she was a child, but also has the precocious maturity that she has exercised in the past few years.

Hua Xue also knew her words, it was impossible for Chen Hongmi to believe it immediately, and he was ready to explain.

Without waiting for Chen Hongmi's question, Hua Xue explained: "Adults should not doubt the knowledge of students because they are young. Mr. Changli said that "there is a specialization in the art industry", and it is only because of the intensive study of astronomy that students can make judgments about natural disasters. Natural disasters, at least the drought in the north and floods in the south in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, are by no means a warning from the sky, but a natural phenomenon like the rising sun and the setting of the moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's just that ordinary people don't understand the truth and blame natural disasters on man-made disasters. ”

Chen Hongmi was already ready to ask difficult questions, but Hua Xue really brought the topic to academics.

After all, Chen Hongmi was born as a Jinshi, and Han Yu's famous articles such as "Shi Shuo" are naturally memorized.

Confucianism respects Confucius and Mencius, and although Xunzi's doctrine is very different from Mencius, this is an internal contradiction in Confucianism. Although there is no "Xunzi" in the Four Books and Five Classics, most Confucian students must study such an important Confucian classic, and Chen Hongmi naturally also studied "Xunzi". Listening to Hua Xueyi, Chen Hongmi's instinctive reaction was "Xunzi? The opening chapter of "The Theory of Heaven" "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death." ”

With the theoretical basis of the same sect, Chen Hongmi's words were a little convinced. It's just that Xunzi hasn't heard of being able to predict the weather, so how can this kid in front of him be?

Chen Hongmi's heart wavered. However, Xunzi's doctrine has always been beneficial to the ruling class. Especially in the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, internal and external troubles, the root cause of internal troubles is this natural disaster.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, only one or two years in the past ten years have not been serious. This disaster was accused by anti-imperial forces of inaction and immorality of the imperial court, which is a warning of natural disasters year after year. For the imperial court, for Chongzhen, they are all mountains that are difficult to move away from the body.

This kid said that natural disasters are not warnings, which is in line with Xunzi's saying that "heaven is constant". This statement is conducive to calming the people's minds and stabilizing the situation in the DPRK. Once it can be confirmed, it will be possible to remove the mountain that is pressing on the head of the imperial court. Therefore, Chen Hongmi is very willing to believe Hua Xue's statement, but the natural disaster that will last for at least five years is really unacceptable bad news.

Hua Xue knew that if she didn't come up with a proof, she wanted to talk empty words and make Chen Hongmi believe it, which was obviously unrealistic. So he continued to explain: "My lord, Zhuangzi said, 'The morning fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn', the well frog cannot speak the sea, and the summer insect cannot speak the ice. In a hundred years of life, it is understandable that there is insufficient understanding of the celestial phenomena that have been circulating for thousands of years. But human beings are stronger than insects, pigs, birds and beasts, and they are stronger in wisdom and inheritance. The students searched through the dynasties and the changes in the celestial phenomena across the country that they could collect in their hands, and found some patterns. In connection with what he saw and heard in life, he finally understood the reason for the formation of rain and snow, and the mystery of the flow of the four seasons. ”

Chen Hongmi's contempt for Hua Xue was a few points when he saw that Hua Xue's export was a chapter, and he was obviously a well-educated person, so he reduced his contempt for Hua Xue because of her age. Especially in astronomy, for the ancients who did not have a systematic scientific research method, talent was far more important than age. This is not the opinion of any one person, but the experience of Confucius himself. When Xiang Lu was seven years old and taught Confucius, the two children distinguished the sun, and Confucius still said that "the future is terrifying". Chen Hongmi doubted in his heart, did this kid really have Xiang Qi's talent?

Chen Hongmi asked: "Let's not talk about the mystery of the four seasons, what is the reason for the formation of this rain and snow?" ”

With such basic knowledge of physics, Hua Xue, who was born in the interstellar era, of course came with her mouth open, but the wording should not be too scientific: "Adults must also know: snow turns into water, water can become ice, and ice can turn into water." Snow, water, ice, it's the same thing, it's just different in appearance. ”

Chen Hongmi nodded: "Yes, the snow melts and freezes on the road, just like the water directly freezes, it is all ice." ”

Hua Xue continued: "Similarly, after collecting, you can find that rain, dew, hail and fog are actually different forms of water. Water is sprinkled on the slate, which does not absorb water, but after a while the water dries out. The water in the pot is kept boiling, and the water will keep decreasing until finally the pot is dry. These two phenomena show that water will escape into the air and become a form that we cannot see. When boiling water, cover the pot, and when you remove the lid after boiling, you can see a large amount of water mist forming on the top of the pot. The lid is brought to the side, and a large amount of water droplets drip down from under the lid. The water flows low, and the water in the pot should not have run to the lid, but only the water that escapes in the air condenses on the lid. ”

Chen Hongmi pondered for a long time and nodded in agreement with Hua Xue's statement.

Seeing that Chen Hongmi's explanation was acceptable, Hua Xue breathed a sigh of relief. His only concern is that people in this era can't understand the idea of evaporation and condensation, the age of technology. Chen Hongmi's ability to understand these things is naturally true for others.

"Jia Yi's "Ostrich Fu" says that 'heaven and earth are furnaces', and the rivers on this earth are like water in the furnace. The water will escape into the air, condense in mid-air and become fog, condense on the furnace lid, and become a cloud after condensation. When the water on the lid of the furnace gathers too much, it will drip and it will gather like a cloud, and then the rain will fall. As for the snow and hail, it was obvious that the temperature was too low when it was condensed, and it froze into ice. After condensing into water, it freezes into hail, and directly freezes into snow and frost. ”

Listening to Hua Xue's explanation, Chen Hongmiao felt quite enlightened. Huaxue from the boiler to the world, to the small to see the big, this explanation comes from life, easy to understand. It's just that the predecessors didn't think about it. Although there is no explanation for the natural disasters of drought in the north and floods in the south, this explanation can at least show that this child is indeed a genius of Tianzhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a reincarnation.
