Chapter 65: The Responsibility of the Scholar and Li Xi's Strategy
"His Royal Highness the Ancestral King......
Although Li Mao's words were soft, in Li Yu's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he had already stood up with a loud voice: "How is it possible!" ”
"Father, please forgive my son for offending - how can he be compared to His Royal Highness the Ancestral King!" Immediately, he questioned in a trembling voice in shock.
"It's really incomparable...... Li Mao nodded.
Immediately, his expression was full of solemnity: "But if it is only for scientific talent......
He muttered: "Over the past three hundred years, future generations have studied the wisdom of their ancestors, painstakingly excavated, and tried to carry forward science. Although he has made some achievements in various disciplines and subjects, there is no one like His Royal Highness the Ancestral King, who is omnipotent, productive, and leaping forward in the way of science, and even more so as to be born to know it. ”
Li Mao said softly, his eyes were cast into the distance even more slowly, and his expression was full of remembrance.
"For decades, the empire has been under heavy pressure from the West, and although it has not fallen behind, it has fought against a continent with the strength of one country...... Portugal retreated, and came to Heyi again; The lotus was wiped out, and the west was destroyed. Now, I heard that Xiyi seems to be gradually suppressed by the newly rising Yi country called England......"
As he spoke, he sighed deeply: "If it weren't for the fact that the empire has always been ahead of the west in science and technology, the warships are stronger, and the technology is higher, I am afraid that it would have become a powder under the feet of the west." And although Xiyi is extremely barbaric, he kills and plunders everywhere, and his morality is degraded. But in the way of science, he has been catching up, and he is only half a step behind my Huaxia. ”
"Yes, even Uncle Zhang of your Royal Academy of Sciences often sighs that I am no longer born in Huaxia to produce a genius like His Royal Highness the Ancestral King, an all-round talent-you must know that in the decades that His Royal Highness the Ancestral King was alive, the imperial science can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, and it is a thousand miles a day."
However, since I saw Xie Xiuqi today, my father has always felt in a trance...... Today, 300 years later, my Royal Highness the Ancestor of Chinese Science and the Amazing Ancestor ...... I'm afraid there is finally a glimmer of hope...... There is a successor. ”
Li Mao said softly, and when he said the end, his eyes were full of complicated looks.
"Father, do you think Xie Xiuqi is this person? Is it so high? Li Yu was stunned for a long time, and he muttered again.
Li Mao also muttered: "I don't know if I'm a father...... Who can say for sure? ”
"His Royal Highness the Ancestor was able to write poetry at the age of three, knew astronomy and geography at the age of five, and began to compile an introduction to science at the age of fifteen - the birth of His Royal Highness is like the blessing of my Chinese ancestors. And now, this man has changed dramatically...... But it is truly true, and it is very good, and it is bestowed......"
Li Mao said, his expression was already extremely complicated, and then, he sighed even more faintly: "These are also superstitions. However, although it is uncertain whether this person can be as talented in science as the ancestor king, he is the first person among my descendants who seems to have the slightest possibility. If this is the case, if this person grows up, he will eventually be able to make Imperial Science more or less leave Xiyi behind......"
He didn't say more, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
"I dare not forget the country. Although the empire is full of flowers at the moment, it is also a tiger in the west, and there are many external troubles; The political dispute between Confucianism and internal worries gradually rose. If you are not careful, you may be sailing against the current. So, whether it's for selfishness or for the public, how can a father not try to cultivate this person? ”
"The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, Fan Wenzhenggong said, I have fulfilled the lifelong responsibility of my generation of doctors......"
After being silent for a long time, Li Mao finally muttered even more.
The room fell silent again, and Li Yuleng sat back in his chair, his eyes were already full of infatuation.
After a long time, he seemed to have finally digested what his father said, and looked at Li Mao again: "My son understands...... No wonder...... No wonder you are willing to abandon your previous suspicions and move your heart to accept this person as a disciple......"
He muttered and sighed: "If this person is talented in science, he can really be as amazing as His Royal Highness the Ancestor King...... It's also a blessing for the Empire. ”
"I hope so......" Li Mao nodded, and he muttered again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the two fathers and sons of the Li Mansion were talking, Li Xi had already been aggrieved all the way and boarded the carriage and went straight to the county school.
When I came to the county school, it was already night, Li Xi jumped out of the carriage, although she didn't cry anymore, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she saw the girl's stubborn face, as if she had made up her mind, and hurriedly walked to the county school as soon as she got off the car.
The county school has already finished school at this time, and the talents who live in the house are also finishing dinner at this time, and they are either singing poems in the county school, or wandering around, or reading hard behind closed doors.
I saw that Li Xi seemed to be familiar with the road, and after a while, she had gathered a bunch of people in a gazebo, and even whispered together, as if discussing something.
When I looked closer, I saw that most of the crowd were young scholars between fourteen and fifteen to seventeen or eighteen years old, but most of them were men, and there were occasionally a few girls.
Although the feminist law provides women with a step to study, this preference for sons over daughters cannot be changed by the eldest princess alone for a while. The water spilled by the married daughter, most of the county school students are children of poor families, and which family is willing to send the water that is going to be spilled anyway to read what books? Only big families will have this thought, but how can big families not afford to hire a gentleman?
Therefore, ninety percent of the scholars in the county school are all male.
And Li Xi's elf is flying, and he is extremely smart, and he is the beloved grandson of the county school Li Lao's teachings, and the beloved daughter of Mr. Li. The partial appearance is also bright and beautiful, which makes these scholars who are gradually thinking of ladies have a lot of support. Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Xi can gather these people.
At this time, everyone was listening to Li Xiyan: "I don't know how grandpa was stunned for a while today, but he promised Lord Lu ......"
"That bastard, even if he saved Sister Wei with a centrifuge in the Fang family's rebellion, it was also his deserved atonement!"
As a result, he still has the face to use this matter to beg his grandfather to re-record him on the door wall? Isn't it just the invention of a centrifuge? That is, the water droplets on the water wheel are centrifugal and splashed, and there is only an occasional gain. ”
"The principle of the centrifuge is even more superficial. The principle of water absorption of the cloth is introduced, and the oil is infiltrated and retained in detail; The water droplets of the waterwheel splashed, and then there was inertia centrifugation and stratification of the mixed liquid - all of them were explored from familiar things in life, and they were explained, but every talent could understand the truth, and others just didn't expect it. ”
"When Grandpa came back, he couldn't stop praising him as a genius - phew! Drinking can also drink genius, and even if it can be like this, there is a previous attempt to spy on others...... Genius? ”
The girl said angrily in a row, and then, a trace of shame and anger suddenly rose on her pink face, and it disappeared in an instant, but the anger was even worse.
"yes......"
"That bastard still has a face like that? What a shame! ”
"It is said that he has changed his mind......"
"So what? It's just a little atonement for the previous sins, so that Senior Sister Lu will no longer be burdened by him. But you need to know that although his previous despicable and evil deeds towards the little senior sister were unsuccessful, they were outrageous, how could he forgive him? What the little senior sister said is very true, the boss is really dizzy this time. ”
The crowd immediately echoed the voices.
"Little Senior Sister, didn't you give a word of advice to the boss?"
A scholar even shouted.
"What's the use of me saying? Grandpa was dizzy and promised Lord Lu, how could he break his promise for no reason? The girl's expression was even more angry, and she said indignantly.
"That little senior sister called me to wait...... "The crowd suddenly wondered again.
The girl sneered: "This bastard will come to my grandfather tomorrow to learn from him, and when the time comes, if everyone can gather together at my house, I want to ask him for advice on the grounds of injustice and injustice...... I'm afraid it's not easy for grandpa to stop him - I want to see if he has the face to worship this teacher in front of so many people after he asks three questions! ”
The crowd was already happy.
"That's a brilliant plan!"
"When the time comes, I'll test him to see if he is qualified to be the master's disciple."
"That is, if you can't even compare with me, why should you enter the house? The little sister's plan is also upright. ”
Li Xi smiled even more proudly: "That's natural, so, I'll leave it to you here - when the time comes, we will all fight together, and we will definitely teach that bastard to get out of my Li family." ”
Looking at the crowd and agreeing, the girl cocked her little nose, and her eyes were already bent into two crescents.
Hmph, I peeped at me bathing back then, but fortunately I found it early, otherwise how would this girl marry in the future? And...... I took off my coat too! It's just that I'm afraid of ruining my reputation, and fortunately, I only took off my small clothes, so I hid it from everyone with Qing'er!
The girl thought angrily.
The shameless person, now he thinks that he has saved Sister Wei, and his past is gone? Think beautifully! Sister Wei was originally harmed by you, and it is your duty to save her! But this girl has never forgiven you! Bastard! Scoundrel! Despicable! Evil ghosts in the colors!
Grandpa seems to be stunned, and when he talks about your centrifuge, his eyebrows are just dancing, and from time to time he wants to praise a few words, what is your talent unprecedented, even I can't compare?
Hmph, it's suspicious to change your mind, and the dog can still eat it...... And genius? I'd rather see where your genius is! I want to see what I have never seen before!
A prodigal who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, a shameless man, and is still blessed by God? If it is really blessed by God, God must be blind!
Do you really think that if you can deceive your grandfather with a little cleverness, you can deceive this girl? Wait, I will make your true form revealed! At that time, if you are ugly, you will deceive your grandfather in advance, and your grandfather will not be considered a broken promise, and you will ...... I don't want to cling to my grandfather!
The girl thought proudly, but she also said goodbye to the students one by one, and then, she jumped out of the pavilion and walked out, and after a while, she was not in the depths of the county school.
