Zhang Shou has always suspected that the emperor gave Luwang Villa to him, firstly because of Zhu Ying's relationship with Wujiwu, secondly because his talent in arithmetic really matched the wishes of the emperor who admired Taizu, and thirdly, to save money.
There is a huge expense in repairing the house every year. As for the fourth... This garden is right at the midpoint between the Imperial College and the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, so it is very suitable for the Imperial College.
If he had been in the Imperial College, then this would undoubtedly be a perfect residence. I am afraid that the emperor believed his gesture of not caring about the future but only the enlightenment of his heart.
After class, after beating Zhu Er for a while, Zhang Shou walked out of the Imperial College Archway, only to meet Brother Zhu who had obviously been waiting here for a while... However, this time, the guards behind him did not carry food boxes.
When Zhu Tingfang saw Zhang Shou walking forward quickly, he nodded slightly and said, "I was going to help with the housewarming, but Yingying insisted that I didn't need to."
"So, I'm coming here to pick you up and take a look. I don't want that girl to point fingers. It's all about her own preferences."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile: "There's nothing wrong with it all depending on her preferences. I heard that Yingying was quite knowledgeable about gardens in the past. Even in the Zhao Guogong Mansion and Zhao Garden, many places were changed because of her suggestions.
Second, it shows that she is very good at this. If Zhang Yuan has her to worry about, I will definitely settle down in Zhang Yuan in the future, so why should I worry about it?"
He has never felt that he is omniscient and omnipotent, so he knows very well what things should be taken care of and what things should not be taken care of. At this time, he is even more leisurely and contented: "Anyway, I only need three study rooms and a nursery, and she can take care of the rest. Mother."
He also said that she wished that Yingying had arranged everything so that she could save worry and effort."
Although Zhu Tingfang had already judged Zhang Shou's attitude in advance, when he heard someone say it with his own ears at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed. While he was talking, he completely forgot that he had another one.
My mother's biological brother was studying in the Imperial College. When the guards came up with the horse and asked Zhang Shou to get on the horse, he nodded and said, "Let's go."
When the group came to Zhang Yuan, the entire street in front of Zhang Yuan not only disappeared from the long line of cars and horses when Zhu Ying brought Wu and Xie Wanquan in the morning, but the entire road had also been swept clean.
Jing. Although Zhang Garden occupies a large area, just like Zhao Guogong's Mansion, of course there is more than one mansion on the entire street. Although the neighbors are not top-notch wealthy families, they are also officials.
At this time, Zhu Tingfang not only escorted him personally, but also signaled the guards to wave a flag in front of the horse. Zhang Shou was speechless with such arrogance. But what he didn't expect was that when he turned onto the street in front of Zhang Yuanmen, the neighbor on the left
The people on the right side actually sent people to the door to salute, bow and say that they had already sent a thank you message to the door, and they would definitely pay a visit some day, and so on.
When the confused Zhang Shou dismounted in front of Zhang Yuan Gate, Old Liu rushed up and grabbed the reins. When he helped him dismount and whispered a few words, he finally understood what he had learned when he came back a few times before.
How could a neighbor I had never met by chance be so polite?
"The eldest lady sent her accompanying mother Li to each neighbor's house to deliver cakes and fruits for the housewarming, as well as a greeting card from you, young master."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but look back at Zhu Tingfang, and saw Master Zhu smiling nonchalantly: "Grandma and mother didn't say anything. Although Yingying has been arrogant and perverse since she was a child, as long as she is really willing to do things, the majestic Zhao Guogong
If the eldest lady of the mansion is considerate, she will naturally take care of everything. She will never let anyone pick on etiquette."
Knowing that it was Zhu Ying's own idea and not an order from the family, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. When he entered the gate, he saw no busy scene of servants shuttling around. The huge courtyard in front of the untitled hall was neat and quiet.
, just like the scene when he and Ah Liu came to the garden for the first time that day.
Walking along the corridor to the front of the lobby, he suddenly noticed that the original large untitled plaque was gone. He was a little surprised - although he had always felt that the two words the emperor personally inscribed to Prince Lu were really bad taste.
Now that Luwang Villa has been transformed into Zhang Garden, these two words are even more inappropriate. But is it inappropriate to casually remove the plaque inscribed by the emperor?
You know, when he was in the Imperial College, Zhou Jijiu was almost framed for taking the Jiuzhangtang plaque inscribed by Taizu into the warehouse!
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a familiar cheerful voice: "A Shou, big brother!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Zhu Tingfang had already spotted Zhu Ying creeping over, trying to scare them. But when Zhu Ying actually called for someone, it was Zhang Shou who was in front and his eldest brother in the back. He couldn't help but feel depressed. But
, seeing Zhu Ying's joy from the inside out, his mood gradually improved again. His sister was about to get married, so he still expected her to be like before?
Zhu Ying, who was like a colorful phoenix falling from the sky, saw Zhu Tingfang's calm face and Zhang Shou looking at her with a smile. She was not scared at all. She snorted with regret. However, she had just watched Zhang Shou look at this building.
In the middle of the hall, I knew what he was thinking, and immediately smiled and blinked.
"I did not take this plaque privately. The emperor sent Eunuch Lu, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, to take it down. He said that it was an old thing of the King of Lu. He wanted to keep it in the inner treasury, but he could not give it to him casually.
Outsiders, as for the title of this main hall... Ah Shou, you can ask for it yourself, or you can ask others for help. But today is said to be an auspicious day for housewarming, but it is not your holiday, and it is not easy to invite people."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about the emperor's maverick character. Although he thought that Ge Yong, Qi Jingshan and Chu Ying were all qualified people who could paint this main hall, but when he thought about it more carefully, he couldn't help but laugh.
He said nonchalantly: "Then the main hall can be left as it is. I'm not a particular person. Although the untitled plaque has been removed, there is no need to replace it with an inscribed plaque."
Zhu Ying immediately frowned at these awkward words, while Zhu Tingfang was only slightly stunned, and then nodded in approval.
"This is a good statement, but there is nothing wrong with leaving it empty."
The eldest brother all agreed with Zhang Shou, but Zhu Ying was too lazy to think too much. She looked up at the sun and said with a smile: "It's getting late. Aunt Wu has already asked Aunt Liu and the others to prepare lunch. As a reward, I came to help."
Xie Wanquan, and Guan Qiu and the others who have worked hard for a few days. Ah Shou, you and your eldest brother are here just in time. But today is the day of housewarming. Do you want to set up two tables here to celebrate tonight? "
It is also one of the old customs in the capital to serve wine when moving to a new house. However, Zhang Shou had several respected teachers in the capital and some interesting students, but he could not talk about friends - such as Chen Shang, the Minister of Household Affairs, who should be called
Although he was called a senior brother, he did not dare to really regard the person as his friend, because in terms of status, seniority and age, he was definitely at the same level as his elders.
Therefore, Zhang Shou did not take the move to a new house very seriously. In addition, the house was already extremely ostentatious, and he had not taken a break today, so he did not send any posts around in advance. At this time, Zhu Ying asked, he thought
Counting his acquaintances in the capital, apart from the elders of the master's sect, the largest group was the students of Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall. He immediately shook his head.
"No need, we'll get together in two days. Let's talk to your second brother then, plus Brother Zhu, I'll bring Xiao Cheng. If Lu Sanlang wants to join in the fun, just bring him. There's no need to disturb the others.
Otherwise, a bunch of students would come here, some giving gifts and some with little money, and the whole night would be lively. If any of them were absent from class or took a nap during the day, it would be boring."
Before Zhang Shou could wait for Zhu Tingfang and Zhu Ying to express their support or opposition, he said nonchalantly: "Moving is just a small matter. It needs to be lively. When I get married in the future, that will be the real excitement."
"Well, that's true. If you want to be lively, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It will be lively when you get married..." Zhu Ying habitually agreed with Zhang Shou, but when the word "marriage" came out of her mouth, she suddenly realized the key!
What does it mean for you to get married... That clearly refers to the lively scene of the two of them getting married!
At that moment, no matter how generous and cheerful she was, her cheeks turned red and she immediately glared at Zhang Shou angrily: "You can say these things casually, and you are not afraid of my big brother beating you!"
Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but smile. Seeing Zhang Shou's gentle words, Zhu Ying turned from anger to joy, and followed the two of them as they walked inside, but they left him behind. He was gone.
At first, I was as depressed as when my sister was getting older and was about to get married. I just shook my head and followed slowly behind.
It was already late at this time. When Zhu Tingfang saw Wu, he only glanced at Xie Wanquan, who he knew had come to help Zhang Shou move when he got up early. He didn't raise any objections to Guan Qiu, who was accompanying the last person. After a sumptuous meal, he didn't
After the luxurious lunch, he was about to send Zhang Shou back to the Imperial Academy, but a report came in from outside, saying that the teacher had news, so he immediately stood up and left.
After picking up and dropping off Zhang Shou in the past few days, he has given everyone in the capital a warning. I believe that if anyone has evil intentions, they should think about it carefully! On the other hand, it is the matter of his teacher Liu Zhiyuan that he must resolve first!
As soon as Zhu Tingfang left, the atmosphere in the Zhang family immediately relaxed - not to mention the Wu family, who had always been a little apprehensive when facing the eldest son of the in-laws; when facing Brother Zhu, he could not help but be more serious, and he had to be more serious when he was not serious.
Zhang Shou, who was careful about propriety; even Zhu Ying, although she dared to be coquettish in front of her elder brother, she did not dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise the elder brother's serious expression would be really scary.
As for Xie Wanquan, let alone mention it. Not to mention Zhu Tingfang’s genuine aristocratic background and genuine military exploits, let’s just say that this Zhu Dagong once had his performance evaluated on the uniform armor left in the Suixingtang monthly examination, and
From Guangye to Suixing Liutang, all of them ranked first in the promotion exams, and all of them were ranked as chiefs in every hall. This has almost never happened in the Imperial College.
Of course, before him, most of the world's outstanding students gathered in various private academies and rarely considered the Imperial College as their first choice. This was also a huge reason. However, since Zhu Tingfang has dominated the Imperial College, it seems that there are no more heroes in the world.
, young people like him are often sent to the Imperial College to study by teachers from private schools and academies under the name of various special tributes.
Who among the literati in the world wants to see the disciples of the honorable ministers dominate the Imperial College? But when he came to the capital, the young master Zhu who left a legend in the Imperial College, just like Emperor Taizu said, waved his sleeves and left no trace behind.
The clouds have left long ago...
Xie Wanquan thought so, but in the end he quickly forgot about Zhu Tingfang, a senior who could only see his back. What he cared about more was the strange things he saw with Guan Qiu today!
"Dr. Zhang, I was in the secret room today... No, I saw something in that workshop..." After describing what he saw and heard somewhat incoherently, Xie Wanquan stared at Zhang Shou and asked, "Back then, Taizu
The emperor once advocated the investigation of things, but he dismissed Zhu Xi's theory of investigation of things. He also said that the so-called investigation of things to achieve knowledge is not just to close your eyes and dream, but to do experiments..."
Zhang Shou listened to Xie Wanquan first describing Guan Qiu's extremely crude prototype of the escapement structure in an almost unorganized manner, and then very laboriously describing the principle of a simple pendulum in classical Chinese. Then he began to use the analogy of Emperor Taizu as an example.
He couldn't help but have a headache. He had never wanted to let Xie Wanquan, a pure liberal arts student, switch to science!
He only hoped that Xie Wanquan could develop a little interest in science, and then help Lu Wan to popularize elementary mathematics and science education.
Although Ge Yong has promised to help promote physics textbooks, he must admit that even after the baptism of Emperor Taizu, there is still a long way to go to promote mathematics.
However, if a group of talented young saplings can be screened out, then he only needs to make a start, and someone will naturally grow up to take over the baton... His current skills are probably only enough to persist in advanced mathematics and complex variable functions.
Integral transformation is already difficult enough, but as far as mathematical analysis is as profound as it is - in fact, he has only seen the textbook, which is completely beyond his ability!
However, he still had to answer Xie Wanquan's question. Because Lu Wan was difficult to deal with, Xie Wanquan, an unlucky guy who had been repeatedly frustrated, was easy to deceive, and he had to deceive. Of course, deceiving doesn't sound good, but if you say it sounds good, then
It should be remodeling.
So, after thinking about it, he stood up and motioned for Xie Wanquan to follow him to the study. When he arrived in the study, he saw the shelves full of books neatly arranged with his original labels on the book boxes, so he walked forward and flipped through them casually.
After picking up a few books, and seeing that they were indeed good, he turned back to Xie Wanquan with a smile and said, "You should have sorted this out for me, right? No one else is so careful. Thank you very much."
Before Xie Wanquan could be humble, he rummaged through the bookshelves and found two books again. When he came to Xie Wanquan, he handed them over casually. When he saw people taking them, he said with a smile: "In this world, there are some people like you.
, was born to understand the meaning of the classics and be good at poetry, but there are also some people, such as Lu Sanlang, who asked him to read the classics and history articles as hard as beheading him, but he could draw inferences from one instance to make inferences about other cases."
Seeing Xie Wanquan's thoughtful expression, Zhang Shou continued to say: "As for calculating scriptures, can it only be used in Qintian Prison? Flood control requires calculations, building roads and embankments also requires calculations, and the same goes for navigation.
It requires calculation. And what you saw in Guan Qiu before is the practical application of various natural laws."
Zhang Shou once again cited his previous buoyancy density measurement, which was used to test the purity of precious metals such as gold, silver, and brass, as an example. Zhang Shou also briefly explained that the pendulum principle can be applied to the field of timekeeping, etc., but when he was about to continue, he suddenly
Unexpectedly, Xie Wanquan suddenly asked: "Guan Qiu said that Dr. Zhang also asked him to study how to use the power of boiling water?"
Uh... Zhang Shou didn't expect that Guan Qiu would even tell Xie Wanquan this. He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded calmly: "Yes, but that's just an idea. Not only do you need to design the utensils, but you also need materials."
He didn't expect that the problems with the machine tool were still based on the prototype, and the escapement structure of the clock was only beginning to take shape. However, Guan Qiu kept in mind what he casually said about the power of boiling water. He even remembered it a few days ago.
There was also a small-scale fryer disaster, and he had to strictly prohibit it from continuing the experiment to avoid causing a big mess. Not to mention the difficulty, natural rubber is not there yet!
