Bai Junwan was extremely serious when she read the book, and she could even be said to be deaf, at least when Zhou Chong walked into the pavilion, she still looked down at the book in her hand, and she didn't notice Zhou Chong's arrival at all.

Zhou Chong had already encountered Bai Junwan's fascination many times, so he didn't wake her up directly, but walked behind Bai Junwan gently, leaned out and looked down at the book in her hand, but he was taken aback, because he didn't know any of the words written on the book that the other party was holding, because the book in the other party's hand was not written in Chinese at all, but a kind of alphabet similar to the English of later generations.

"This ...... It can't be Latin, right? Zhou Zhong said to himself in shock that medieval Europe was still under the influence of the Roman Empire, coupled with the promotion of the church, so the common language of the whole Europe, that is, Latin, at least half of the books were written in Latin.

Zhou Chong's self-talk also woke up Bai Junwan, who was addicted to the book, when she turned around, she just stared at Zhou Chong, and the two faces were only a few millimeters apart, and the real breath smelled each other, which made Bai Junwan "Ah~", her face flushed and immediately stood up and hid aside with the book, and at the same time lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Chong again.

And Zhou Zhong didn't expect Bai Junwan to suddenly turn around, causing the two to almost kiss unexpectedly, which made him a little embarrassed for a while. However, as a man, he knew that he had to take the initiative to break the embarrassment, so he saw Zhou Chongqiang calm down and smiled: "Junwan, what kind of book are you reading, why don't I know a word?" ”

Bai Junwan's heart was also beating hard at this time, it was the first time since her husband, who was inferior to a beast, disappeared, she was so close to a man. Especially the kind of masculine smell on Zhou Chong's body. It made her a little flustered. I didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Zhong took the initiative to speak, which relieved the tension in Bai Junwan's heart a little, calmed down her chaotic thoughts at the moment, and replied with a reluctant smile: "My lord, this is a book that Syra's father brought from Europe, and Syra knew that I like to read, so she asked her father to come over and give me a gift, and the text on it is Latin." I had studied with Fr. Syrah and Father John for a while, so I could barely understand it. ”

Hearing that Bai Junwan even knew Latin, Zhou Zhong also praised at the moment: "Junwan, you are really amazing, you can even learn such a complex Latin, and you can even read it, I can't compare to you!" ”

Zhou Zhong was telling the truth, Latin was also known for its complexity in later generations, and even a famous European person once said that if all the Romans had to learn Latin, they would not have time to conquer the world. This shows that Latin is difficult to learn. When thinking about the future life, Zhou Zhong himself couldn't even learn English. Not to mention Latin.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's praise, Bai Junwan felt happy in her heart for some reason, and lowered her head at the moment and said modestly: "The adult is erudite and talented, and the little girl has just learned some foreign barbarian languages, where can she dare to compare with the adult?" ”

"Hahaha~, Lord Ben is indeed very knowledgeable, and there is really nothing I don't know about in this world!" Zhou Zhong did not have the slightest modesty when he heard Bai Junwan's words, but said very conceitedly, compared with the people of this era, he has hundreds of years of knowledge, especially the knowledge explosion of later generations, and the wide range of knowledge he has been exposed to in just over 20 years can definitely be called the first in the Ming era.

However, Bai Junwan pursed her lips and smiled at Zhou Chong's modest words that she didn't know about the Dao, obviously thinking that he was talking big, after all, she was a learned woman herself, but the more books she read, the more things she knew, the more she felt that what she knew was too insignificant for this world.

Zhou Zhong also noticed the expression on Bai Junwan's face, and he didn't rush to defend himself at the moment, but asked again: "Junwan, whose book are you reading and what is the name of the book?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, this book was written by a man named Aristotle in ancient Europe, and Syrah translated it as "The Philosophy of Nature", which mainly tells about the principle of the operation of all things, so I think it is better to call it "Physics", the truth expounded in the book of physics is very wonderful, and I have found for the first time that there are countless great truths everywhere around us, which may be the Taoist "Tao", almost everywhere, but it is difficult for us to perceive it." As soon as she talked about the content of the book, Bai Junwan immediately lifted her spirits, and her two wonderful eyes were full of wisdom.

"Ha Lu Ha ~ Whose book should I be? It turned out to be Aristotle, who was indeed a great man, not only a great philosopher, scientist and educator of ancient Greece, but also the founder of European ethics, and this man was almost an all-rounder, whether it was astronomy, geography or historical arithmetic, he was very accomplished, and even today's Europeans are still studying his writings. Zhou Chong said with a smile at this time, although he is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but he was looked down upon by Bai Junwan, a big beauty, just now, which made him really unbearable, so he was ready to show off his knowledge.

Hearing Zhou Chong's tirade above, Bai Junwan's eyes widened in surprise, with an expression of disbelief, and after a long while, she heard her speak: "My lord, you ...... Do you really know Aristotle? ”

"Hehe, I not only know Aristotle, but also know that his teacher is named Plato, Plato's teacher is named Socrates, these three are the most famous philosophers in ancient Greece, and are called the three philosophers of ancient Greece by Europeans, and Aristotle also has a student named Alexander, who later led the army to fight a huge Alexander empire, spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, but unfortunately Alexander died at a young age, and the entire empire died immediately after his death, but even so, Alexandra is still a figure comparable to Genghis Khan of the Mongols! Zhou Zhong spoke again.

Others may not know Zhou Chong, but Aristotle is almost unknown to everyone in later generations, so Zhou Zhong almost opened his mouth to come. Bai Junwan still had some suspicions that Zhou Zhong was making up lies to show his erudition, after all, she also knew limited about Aristotle, and it was impossible to debunk him. But then she heard that Zhou Zhong knew so much about the characters of Aristotle's lineage, and the introduction was so detailed, it was impossible to make it up temporarily, which made her believe that what Zhou Zhong said was true.

Zhou Zhong saw Bai Junwan's cute appearance with her eyes wide open at this time, and he smiled proudly at the moment, and then added strength: "Although Aristotle is great, he is a person from nearly two thousand years ago after all, so some of the theories in his book are inevitably a little outdated or even wrong, so Junwan, you must also have your own thoughts when reading the book, and don't completely believe the content of the book!" ”

Originally, Bai Junwan had already been convinced by Zhou Zhong, but perhaps Zhou Zhong's tone with a bit of a lesson made Bai Junwan rebellious, so she said a little unconvinced at this time: "My lord, when the little woman reads this physics, she feels that what is said in the book is very reasonable, and she has not found any mistakes!" ”

Seeing that Bai Junwan was still unconvinced, Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "It seems that Junwan is still too careless, let me ask you, has this book of physics ever told such a truth, that is, when an object falls from a high altitude, its falling speed is proportional to its weight, that is, the greater the weight, the fastest falling speed of the object?" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong actually tell the content of the book at once, this made Bai Junwan even more shocked, and she was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a discussion in the book, and this is also an obvious thing, when an object falls from the sky, the heavier the object, the faster it is, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Of course it's wrong, and it's a big mistake!" Zhou Zhong knew that Bai Junwan would be fooled, although this simple physical principle was almost known in later generations, but in the era when technology and education were not developed in the Ming Dynasty, many people would make the same mistake as Aristotle.

"Let me tell you, if you remove the drag factor, when two objects of different weights land at the same height, they do not land one after the other, but at the same time, if you don't believe it, we can do the experiment now!" Zhou Zhong said confidently, it is really cool to use such a simple physical principle to subvert the cognition of the ancients.

"I don't believe it!" Bai Junwan's temperament is usually very soft, and even sometimes she is very unassertive, but in fact, these are all appearances, when she is stubborn, the real nine cows can't pull it back, but it is this stubbornness, or persistence and assertiveness, that can make her take her sister and daughter all the way to Shuangyu Port, if she were to change to other women, I am afraid that she would have fallen into the hands of that Zhang Rui a long time ago......

Seeing that Bai Junwan was so stubborn, she stopped talking nonsense when Zhou Zhong didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out of the pavilion to find two stones, one large and one small, in the garden, and then asked Bai Junwan to go with her to a small rockery in the garden, although this rockery was only more than a zhang high, it was enough for experiments.

However, when Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan first boarded the rockery, they attracted the attention of the three of them, and they no longer swinged, but ran to the bottom of the rockery quickly, and Bang'er raised his head and asked, "Brother, what are you doing on the rockery with Sister Junwan?" ”

Seeing that Bang'er and they were also here, Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "Bang'er, you came just in time, now let's do an interesting experiment!" (To be continued......)
