A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Wash the crystal cup, light the candle standing in the ink water, then pick up the crystal cup and slowly cover it.

The mouth of the cup gradually submerged into the ink water.

"Mysterious!"

Zhao Yunrang muttered, but refused to speak loudly.

The old servant smiled and said: "Alang, I am very good."

The candle went out.

"Weng Weng, please look."

Zhao Zhongzhen pointed to the cup and said calmly: "It will be here soon."

Zhao Yunrang hugged his granddaughter, yawned and said, "Don't take your children's things... hey!"

"Pour it in again!"

The children were already making noises, but they didn't see Zhao Yunrang's face turn dark.

He put his granddaughter down and said with a straight face: "Who did you learn the trick from? Tell me!"

The most taboo thing for wealthy families to learn is to practice Taoism and Buddhism.

If you are obsessed with these things, you will accidentally ruin your home.

When the old servant saw that he was angry, he advised him: "Alang, I am definitely not playing around, don't be angry."

Only an old servant in this family dares to say that.

Zhao Yunrang snorted coldly and said, "If I hear you playing with these things again, I will take your things."

If your source of income is cut off, let’s see what else you do.

The children were silent, but Zhao Zhongzhen calmed down and said, "Weng Weng, this is knowledge, not magic!"

"What knowledge..."

Zhao Yunrang had already forgotten about lending the crystal cup to Shen An. He frowned slightly, wondering if his grandson had been too smooth recently and might have become arrogant.

"Weng Weng, think about cupping!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Yunrang was furious, "You kid, you actually learned to lie! Punishment! Go back and copy Mencius!"

Copying Mencius?

The old servant felt that Zhao Yunrang was a little angry and confused, so he said: "Alang, I still have to go to class every day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhongzhen raised the crystal cup and said, "Wengweng, what does cupping rely on? Isn't it just suction after burning it with fire? How can that cup absorb the skin and flesh?"

Huh!

Zhao Yunrang felt very strange when he thought about it.

yes!

Everyone knows that cupping involves sucking the skin and flesh, which is very tight and painful.

And you have to use fire to burn the inside of the cup beforehand, which is very similar to the trick just now!

This one sucks too...

"Absorb water!"

A young man said happily: "Zhong Zhongzhen, right?"

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded and said: "Yes, cupping is pressed momentarily and diagonally. If it is slower, you will not be able to inhale. That is because the air escapes in. But this one uses ink water to seal the edge. The air cannot escape. Once you inhale, it will be gone." He just sucked the water in."

He said loudly: "This is called negative pressure. Weng Weng, there is still air. What we breathe is air, and the fire burns air. When the air burns out, the flame goes out, so we can cover our heads with quilts at night to sleep. I feel stuffy because the quilt blocks a lot of air..."

"Alang."

Zhao Yunrang still had a straight face, but the old servant whispered: "When you did the cupping, you finally sucked out all the blood congestion. The skin and flesh were sucked out, it looked scary."

Zhao Yunrang had been convinced for a long time, but he just couldn't lose face.

"From now on... don't drop the cup."

He left in a somewhat embarrassed manner, with a group of children cheering behind him, probably thinking that Zhao Zhongzhen had defeated the big devil.

And this big devil is naturally Zhao Yunrang.

The old servant was worried that he would lose his temper, so he persuaded him: "Young Master, you are a very wise man!"

Zhao Yunrang said with a straight face: "What kind of knowledge is it for coaxing children to play?"

The old servant shook his head and ignored him.

Zhao Yunrang walked in front, his eyebrows slowly raised, and then the corners of his mouth cracked, smiling silently.

My grandson is so smart!

That Shen An really has a lot of knowledge and is truly a first-class genius.

"Well... the weather is getting hot. Remember to send some ice to the Shen family... to Guoguo from time to time. That girl is so cute, and her smile makes people's hearts melt..."

The old servant pursed his lips and smiled, then went to make arrangements.

What about sending Guoguo? He was obviously embarrassed and used the name of Sending Guoguo to send ice to Shen An.

But Shen An is now very wealthy, and it is said that the ice cellar at home is very large, which is not bad.

But this is just a way to express relationships. Sending ice is not a good idea for everyone. If you send it to others, it will feel awkward.

After Zhao Zhongzhen explained the principles of negative pressure and air to the brothers and sisters, he collected his things and returned to his residence.

Zhao Zongshi was sitting in the study, holding a book in his hand and looking dimly.

"Dad, how are you today?"

Zhao Zhongzhen took a closer look at his father's expression and couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was still calm.

Only when my grandfather is in good health and my father is in good health will this family be good.

Zhao Zongshi glanced at him and said, "The weather is hot, be careful when going out."

"Yes, daddy, you need to get some sunshine, preferably in the morning and evening. At that time, the sun won't hurt you and can make you feel happy!"

Zhao Zhongzhen muttered a bunch of precautions, and Zhao Zongshi's eyes gradually became filled with guilt.

This son is still so young. At his age, most people would focus on studying, but he has to care about his parents and family. He is gradually taking on many responsibilities like an adult.

But what about me?

But I was suffering in the circle I had drawn for myself.

He looked at the sunshine outside, with pain in his eyes.

There were footsteps behind him, and then a pair of slightly cold hands rested on his shoulders.

"My lord, Zhongzhen is big."

Zhao Zongshi nodded and then closed his eyes: "But this father can't help him and makes him worry inside and outside."

The sunshine outside is very strong, and the light is as white as the ground.

The light reflected in, and Gao Taotao subconsciously squinted his eyes as he looked outside, and then said: "Then let him be the prince."

Zhao Zongshi turned around slowly and Gao Taotao smiled slightly.

…

As an emperor, Zhao Zhen feels that he is quite competent and works conscientiously every day, which can be called a role model.

"old!"

After he finished dealing with the memorial, he felt a little dizzy when he stood up.

Chen Zhongheng smiled flatteringly and said: "You are not an old official... Think about Bao Zheng. It is said that he also wants to have a daughter so that his son can have a sister to play with in the future..."

Bao Zheng is over sixty, and you are only fifty, so why are you so old?

Zhao Zhen shook his head and returned to the harem all the way.

"Look, I sucked it in!"

"A lot of water, I sucked it all in!"

Zhao Zhen stood outside the palace and watched several concubines cheering around a table.

"I've met the official family!"

Several women spotted him, and a look that was familiar to Chen Zhongheng suddenly flashed in their eyes.

greedy!

Whenever he sees this look, the official will definitely yawn profusely the next day.

"What's this?"

Zhao Zhen was a little curious when he saw a plate and a cup on the table, with water on the plate.

A concubine said first: "Guan family, this is the favorite trick among outsiders. You see, this one can absorb water."

Light the candle and cover the cup. Although the cup is opaque, you can still clearly see the water in the plate being sucked in.

"This is……"

Zhang Ba8 came later.

The thin face was also a little stunned, obviously a little surprised by this 'trick'.

"Guan Jia, this is what Shen An did, but it's not a magic trick. It's his exclusive knowledge. Nowadays, it's being done in many places in the city..."

Officials, the whole city is filled with the sound of water sucking!

Zhao Zhen didn't believe it, and he even felt a little flustered.

"Get out of the palace!"

He hadn't left the palace for a long time, so Chen Zhongheng asked people to prepare.

"What are you preparing for? Plainclothes!"

He wanted to take a look and see if it was true that the whole city was filled with the sound of water sucking.

He changed into plain clothes, followed by Chen Zhongheng and surrounded by palace guards. The group left the palace and went to Yu Street.

Imperial Street is very long, with many shops on both sides, just like the offices of various offices, so many officials buy things on this street.

"Come and take a look! You can see the negative pressure in my house. It's a glass cup. It's a priceless treasure!"

Crowds of people came in droves. Before Zhao Zhen could squeeze in, he heard someone inside exclaiming.

"Ouch! I can really see that the water is going up, it's going up!"

"It's really strange. I want to try it when I get home."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and continued walking forward.

There were so many pedestrians, and people kept coming in and out of various shops. Zhao Zhen felt happy when he saw it and said, "This is a scene where all industries are prosperous, great!"

If everything is prosperous, it means that I am pretty good.

Not to mention prosperous times, but at least it can be regarded as peaceful.

He felt great relief.

"Look! This negative pressure of a certain person will fly up!"

There was a commotion ahead, but Zhao Zhen didn't miss it this time. When he rushed there at a trot, he happened to be in the second row.

"Look, this negative pressure can spray out!"

The person setting up the stall was a young man. He held a bamboo tube with one end sealed with a stopper. After the candle burned, he covered it. Then he looked up and said with a smile: "Watch it!"

Zhao Zhen watched intently and saw the young man pulling out the stopper on the bamboo tube.

The bang was small, but very loud.

A stream of water spurted out from the opening.

The young man said proudly: "Look, look, they say negative pressure, but who can spray it? Who?"

The young man stood there with a look on his face and said, "Do you still want to see it? There are a lot of tricks up my sleeve."

"Want to see it!"

The onlookers shouted excitedly, wishing that this young man could show the magic of negative pressure right away.

Chen Zhongheng whispered: "This negative pressure has been spread by word of mouth recently. Many people know that it is burned out by burning air, and it can also suck things..."

At this time, the young man pointed to the goods on his stall and said: "If you buy X's goods, I will show them to you. If you don't buy them, I won't give them to you."

Zhao Zhen smiled, finding this young man cunning and interesting.

He sells all kinds of toys, and most of the people watching are children, so you take one piece and I take one, and it doesn't take long for them to be enough.

The young man happily prepared for the next experiment, and someone asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Xiaolang, this negative pressure...isn't it just a game?"

The young man glanced at the man and said, "Who said that? It's air. Without air, people will be suffocated to death, so be careful when entering a cave. You can tell if there is air by lighting a torch. Those who were strangled to death were because they were cut off. I couldn't hold the air, so I was suffocated... This is knowledge!"

Zhao Zhen turned his head and hid for a moment, UU reading www.uukａnshu.netｔ because the person who asked the question was Han Qi.

Han Qi stood there blankly, as if his soul had been stolen.

Zhao Zhen was afraid of being discovered, so he hurried back to the palace.

On the way, Chen Zhongheng whispered: "There are people in the official family and deep palaces who are exploring this negative pressure air and so on. There are more outside. Mr. Han... I have been on a hunger strike for three days. I am afraid he will starve?"

Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "Isn't it okay for Zhao Yunliang and his son to go on hunger strike for three days?"

What he said actually meant that he hoped Han Qi would fulfill his promise.

Chen Zhongheng muttered, thinking that Zhao Yunliang and his son could squat at home without moving, but unless Han Qi took a leave of absence, he would be exhausted from running around all day, and he was afraid that Han Qi wouldn't be able to hold on!

Moreover, the officials did not have any sympathy for him, which shows that Han Qi is indeed annoying.
