Chapter 419: Interest

Through the Song Dynasty Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings" that I saw by chance, and then remembered that I was in my middle school history class and "Mengxi Writings" another scientific work "Heavenly Creations" that was stupidly indistinguishable from "Mengxi Writings", and its author was called Song Yingxing, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi discussed to come to Wang Jingyuan's house to verify in person, whether this Song Yingxing, who lived here, was the Song Yingxing in the history textbook.

Originally, Xiao Mu didn't think that this matter was in a hurry, anyway, Song Yingxing lived in Wang Jingyuan's house and wouldn't run, on the contrary, it was a bit troublesome for him and Lin Yi to want to leave the palace once, so according to Xiao Mu's initial idea, it was not too late to wait until he found a suitable opportunity to leave the palace recently, and then confirm it at Wang Jingyuan's house. But just this morning, when Xiao Mu had just gotten up and was not dressed properly, Lin Yi came over and pointed out a very grim fact to him.

This grim fact is that today is the day of the test list, Song Yingxing and his brother were disheartened after learning that they did not pass the exam, and maybe they will plan to go back to their hometown - in fact, Song Yingxing's brothers really think so, and if they want to find someone at that time, although they will not reach the level of looking for a needle in a haystack, it will definitely be much more troublesome than now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi didn't care about the inappropriateness of leaving the palace on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they decided to immediately set off to Wang Jingyuan's house to block people - not giving Song Yingxing any time to pack up and return to their hometown.

Xiao Mu and Lin Yi went out of the palace and said that it was troublesome, but if the two of them made an iron decision, then naturally no one would be able to make them take back their fate, although Wang Chengen did not approve of the emperor and the queen always running out of the dangerous palace, but he still took the order, and then prepared the two masters to leave the palace with the fastest efficiency.

Then when Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, who had made full preparations, arrived at Wang Jingyuan's house, they found that their preparations were too sufficient, not to mention that the Song Yingxing brothers had packed their luggage, and even their people had not returned.

Of course, although it is not as good as coming early, but at least it is much better than coming late, after learning the news that the two Song Yingxing brothers had gone out to check the results of the examination and had not returned, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then they encountered a more embarrassing question - and the one who could ask such an embarrassing question was naturally Zhao Qi's illness.

"Xiao Gongzi, you are so powerful, you must know whether Mr. Da Song and Mr. Xiao Song have passed the exam, right?" It may be that Zhao Qizhi felt that it was too slow to wait for Song Yingxing's brother to bring back the results at home, so he took the most direct way and asked Xiao Mu, who was most qualified to know the results of the examination.

Zhao Qi's illness made Xiao Mu feel a little embarrassed for a while, after all, he felt that it was not good for him to directly tell Wang Jingyuan, who were full of expectations, that the Song Yingxing brothers did not pass the exam, and although they would try to be initiated by the emperor, Xiao Mu, who had received the education of modern society in later generations, naturally felt that the final result belonged to the Song Yingxing brothers and their own privacy, and it was up to them to decide whether to tell others, or in what way to tell others, instead of doing it themselves.

Fortunately, Lin Ye helped Xiao Mu play a round in time, and said to Zhao Qizhi, "There are more than 300 people in the examination, and it is impossible for your Xiao Gongzi to remember all of them at once." ”

"yes." Xiao Mu, who has always thought that he is more anxious, also performed well this time, and immediately understood what Lin Yi meant, "There are hundreds of candidates who have passed the examination, and I only got the list this morning, so I haven't had time to take a closer look at ......."

Of course, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi already knew the result two days ago, so there was no need to tell Zhao Qiyi about them.

Barely avoiding this topic and avoiding an embarrassment, Xiao Mu felt that he needed to find something else to talk about quickly, so that Zhao Qiai, the child, would forget about it, lest he say something embarrassing again.

So Xiao Mu aimed at Xie Lianhui, who had been very quiet, "Lianhui, tell my son, what do you like about your little Mr. Song, except for reading?" ”

Xiao Mu's question not only has the meaning of changing the topic, but also can learn about Song Yingxing's interests and hobbies from Xie Lianhui, a little girl, so that he can verify whether his conjecture is correct - if this Song Yingxing who lives in Wang Jingyuan's house is really the scientist, then Xie Lianhui will definitely give himself a satisfactory answer, after all, a child of her age will naturally not lie.

"Mr. Xiao Song knows a lot of things!" What Xiao Mu and Lin Yi didn't expect was that after mentioning this topic, Xie Lianhui, who had always been very quiet and even a little introverted, seemed to have completely changed as if he had completely changed a person, speaking much more fluently, and his eyes also showed a bright look, "Whether it is astronomy and geography, climate, agriculture or textile printing and dyeing, Xiao Song is omniscient and omniscient, and often brings these things to us, and he can talk about them for an hour or two, we all like to listen to them!" ”

"It's that you like to hear it, I'm not interested in this stuff." Xie Lianhui's words were quickly refuted by Zhao Qizhi - it was obvious that even with the deterrence of the feather duster given by the queen's mother, Zhao Qizhi, who likes to bully girls, did not seem to have been completely overcome.

"Mr. Xiao Song is indeed very knowledgeable, and in our spare time from reading, listening to Mr. Xiao Song talk about the operation of all things in heaven and earth is also a great gain." Finally, the eldest Li Shiyao's words, it is obvious that he is neither as interested in these scientific things that Song Yingxing said as Xie Lianhui, nor as uninterested as Zhao Qizhi.

At this point, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi's purpose of coming this time had in fact been achieved, and they could now be 100% sure that Song Yingxing, who lived in Wang Jingyuan's house, was the one introduced in their later history textbooks, the great scientist of ancient times, the author of "Heavenly Creations" - after all, there was no one who was both famous and equally interested in this "strange and obscene technique".

So when Brother Song Yingxing returned to Wang Jingyuan's house and saw Hu Yun, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi already had the answer in their hearts.
