Red House Shoufu

Chapter 144 Enlightenment
The atmosphere in the high pavilion of Cuiping Terrace was very good. Lin Shu briefly talked about Euclid's life and achievements, as well as the situation of ancient Greek civilization, and everyone in the pavilion was deeply attracted.

"Bachelor Lin is so knowledgeable that even Taixi, who is thousands of miles away, understands so clearly."

Gao Wancheng sighed: "I have seen it in the collections of the palace. The trip to the West in the previous Ming Dynasty, which went deep into the sea thousands of miles away, made me the Central Plains Dynasty Wei Jiayun. It is a pity that the subsequent emperor stopped doing so for many reasons. Lift."

Seeing that Gao Wancheng appreciated Zheng He's voyage to the West, Lin Shu tried to say: "There is a man in Taixi, Ferdinand Magellan. He once led the fleet and sailed from Taixi to the west. The New World, Southeast Asia, Persia and other places discovered by the Westerners went all the way west, and finally returned to the original point."

"What Hun Tian said is actually true?" Gao Wanxuan was the first to react, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Shu in disbelief.

Although Gao Wanxuan is only 13 years old, he was smart since he was a child and had the best educational conditions. It can be said that he has read a lot of books, such as "Zhang Heng Armillary Sphere Notes" and other books.

Although Gao Wancheng was shocked, he was able to hold on.He asked, "If people really live on a spherical earth, why don't the people under our feet fall?"

Lin Shu picked up the teacup on the table and said, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. Suppose we stand on top of the teacup and think that the people under our feet are upside down. Then do they also think that we are standing upside down?"

Originally Lin Shu wanted to use a teacup to demonstrate the law of gravitation, but he saw that the teacup was quite expensive, so he went to find a stone outside the pavilion.

Standing in front of everyone, he let go of his raised hand, and the stone fell to the ground.Lin Shu asked, "What can you see?"

The people in the pavilion were a little puzzled, Lin Shu looked at them and shook his head, and reminded: "If the people under our feet think that our heads are down, why didn't the stones fall to the sky, but to the ground instead?"

"The earth is attracting stones? Just like we are attracted by the earth!" Gao Wanxuan patted his thigh: "I understand, the earth has a kind of power, it firmly attracts everything in the world!"

Lin Shu couldn't help but admire the quick thinking of the young man in front of him. He is a scientific material. If he is trained well, he might become the first royal scientist.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be good at the bottom.If a royal scientist can be trained, the way of science will be implemented in the future, and it will be more effective with half the effort.

Lin Shu explained the law of universal gravitation to a few people. He is not a professional student, so he can only give a rough idea.

Seeing a few people found it very interesting, Lin Shu took the opportunity to briefly talk about the general situation in various parts of the world at this time.

……

"A few days ago, I met a Thai-Western man in Nanhufang City. He took a few boats and sailed eastward all the way, and entered the customs from Guangzhou. Now he has opened a shop in the capital. He speaks Chinese very well."

Lin Shu remembered what Marco van Basten had entrusted to him, so he said to Gao Wancheng: "If your Highnesses are interested, I will bring him to see your Highnesses when he comes back from Guangzhou someday."

Gao Wanxuan was very interested in Marco van Basten who came from thousands of miles away, and gently pulled his brother's sleeve.

Gao Wancheng was also aroused by Lin Shu's talk about the affairs of the world, nodded and said: "Such a brave man is indeed worth seeing..."

Seeing this scene, Lin Shu was very happy in his heart, and finally he did not waste so long talking dryly.

Needless to say, Gao Wanxuan is full of curiosity about everything unknown.Gao Wancheng, who seems to have always maintained the royal dignity, also has a strong thirst for knowledge.

As long as they are interested, this fake know-it-all will leave a deep mark in their hearts.

……

In Jinxiu Garden, the whole courtyard is full of fragrance and intoxicating wind.Posts from Prince Zhongshun's mansion spread all over the mansions of officials above rank three, and there were at least more than 50 young women playing in the Jinxiu Garden.

Today, Sanchun, Xue Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun from Ningrong and Rongfu all came. As soon as Xichun came to the palace, she was attracted by Gao Yunwan's Siamese cat Liuli.

Now she has fully explained what it means to keep stroking the cat all the time, keeping Liuli sleeping under the waterside pavilion without moving a step.

"I also want to raise a cat of this size!" Xichun muttered to herself, few girls could refuse a fluffy cat.

Daiyu patted her little head, and said dotingly: "I'll ask my brother to buy some, one for each of us."

Liuli's grunting voice showed that it was in a very good mood at the moment.Several girls gathered around a cat, discussing the name of their pet in the future.

The sisters were chatting vigorously, when the female officer next to Princess Cui came over and said to Daiyu: "Master, please come over."

……

Today, those who came to Zhongshun Palace to participate in the flower viewing feast were not only unmarried ladies like Daiyu, but also several princes and wives who had good friends with Princess Cui.

At this moment, the person talking to Princess Cui is her natal sister-in-law, Cui Liushi, the wife of the elder brother Cui Renli.Cui Renli and Lin Ruhai won the first place at the same time, the same year as Zhenger Bajing.

In the early years when Lin Ruhai was still in the Hanlin Academy, the two had a lot of contacts and had a good friendship.The Cui Liu family is also from a great family, and is a side branch of the Liu family of Liguo Duke's Mansion, one of the four princes and eight princes. They had a good friendship with Jia Min in the early years.

Concubine Cui just took this opportunity to ask her sister-in-law to help her find each other. If it can be done, she will let her natal sister-in-law be a matchmaker.

"Yu'er, come here quickly."

Seeing Daiyu enter the room, Princess Cui pulled her closer before she could salute, and introduced her to Daiyu: "This is Wan'er's eldest aunt, Mrs. Cui. She and your mother are handkerchiefs. It's not that your family went to Jiangnan, maybe she was your godmother when you were born."

Although some deliberately exaggerated the relationship between Cui Liushi and Jia Min, Princess Cui also fought hard for her son's marriage.

After Daiyu heard her introduction, when she looked at Cui Liushi, her gaze was a little more intimate.

"Junior, please greet Madam!"

Since she is a close friend of her mother's boudoir, Daiyu salutes Cui Liushi as a junior.

Naturally, Cui Liushi wouldn't take big things, she supported Daiyu who was about to salute, took her hand and looked at her carefully: "You really look like Sister Min!"

She smiled and took off a jasper bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Daiyu's left wrist.There was a crisp sound when it collided with the bracelet that Daiyu was originally carrying.

Cui Liu said with a smile: "Good boy, just call me aunt. Back then, I often went to Rongguo Mansion to play with your mother. Even if she and I were married, we would go to Baoen Temple to offer incense together."

She didn't mention what happened after Jia Min went to Jiangnan, for fear of causing Daiyu's sadness.

Daiyu called her aunt sweetly, and Cui Liushi, who was overwhelmed with motherly love, pulled her and kissed her.

……

At this time, at the gate of Zhongshun Wangfu, the carriage embroidered with the logo of the Wangfu stopped, accompanied by Jia Lian who came on horseback.

Gao Yongheng, dressed in official censor uniform, got off the carriage and asked the housekeeper who came to greet him: "Is the girl from the Xue family here? Please come to the study..."

　Let’s stop here today and continue tomorrow.

　　I have been busy with work recently, so I can only change twice a day. After the two days are over, I will return to three times a day.

　　By the way, there seems to be some kind of 5.15 event. I signed up to fight for 5.15 days.Good night readers!
