Wang Yuan looked at the letter in his hand, then at the matchmaker in front of him, and just said: "I understand."
"knew?"
The matchmaker didn't understand the meaning and said anxiously: "Oh, my Bachelor Wang, you should give me an accurate answer, otherwise how can I go back and explain? You listen to me, the two thousand gold of Huang Shilang's family must be good-looking and good-looking.
, You need to be talented and knowledgeable. You are the number one scholar, and you must be highly knowledgeable. You and the second lady of the Huang family are naturally compatible. Just like what is written in the storybook, we can draw eyebrows and write poems together, and talk about the past and the present together. They are really a couple of gods.
The second young lady of the Huang family..."
"Stop it," Wang Yuan didn't want to listen to her ramblings, "go back and tell Mrs. Nie that I must seek the opinions of my parents on important matters such as marriage. After the two elders agree, we will compare the horoscopes to see if they are compatible."
The matchmaker asked: "Are Mr. Wang's parents in Guizhou?"
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's in Guizhou."
"How long does it take to come back and forth!" The matchmaker was speechless.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "If you walk fast, it will only take four or five months to go back and forth."
The matchmakers were all human beings, and there was no hint of evasion at all, so they immediately left with a smile on their faces.
The letter left by Song Ling'er was not long. She first reiterated her attitude, and then said: "Sister Huang's family likes you very much. She is also very beautiful and has a gentle personality. She is more suitable to be a wife than me. If you dare to disagree,
, I will ignore you from now on, and I will take your son to marry someone else. If you don’t believe me, try it!”
This letter gave Wang Yuan a toothache and some worry, because Song Ling'er could do what he said.
So Wang Yuan was confused. He neither dared to refuse the marriage directly nor agreed immediately.
From beginning to end, Wang Yuan and Huang E only exchanged a few words. He didn't know anything about Huang E, and he didn't even know what Huang E looked like. He suddenly said that he wanted to get engaged, which Wang Yuan couldn't accept for a while.
Why is Wang Yuan so ignorant of history? He didn't even know that Huang E was a famous and talented woman, let alone that Huang E would later become Yang Ai's wife.
Huang E in history, because she admired Yang Shen's talent and learning, but Yang Ai already had a wife, she swore never to marry. In fact, she and Yang Shen didn't even say a few words. Just like Wang Yuan's current situation, she was purely on her own.
A person has a stupid and secret love.
It was not until the age of twenty that Huang E became an old girl. Yang Shen's first wife suddenly died of illness, so he married Yang Shen and became his second wife.
A few years after their marriage, Yang Shen was beaten to pieces on the buttocks by a royal cane and was immediately exiled to Yunnan. Huang E took care of and escorted Yang Shen all the way to Jiangling (Jingzhou City). After that, she remained a widow for decades.
As for the remains, their wish to be buried together after death finally came true.
This is also a very passionate woman!
Wang Yuan didn't even think about it now, so he could only drag her in the name of his parents. Anyway, Huang E was not yet fourteen years old, so dragging her for two or three years was normal.
…
When Mrs. Nie received the news, she was so angry that she trembled all over. After sending the matchmaker away, she stamped her feet on the spot and said: "You are clearly trying to shirk your parents' orders! There is something wrong with my daughter. She is not worthy of a Guizhou scholar like him."
Son? It’s too much to bully others, it’s really too much to bully others!”
Huang E was also disappointed, but he helped Wang Yuan speak: "Mom, think about it. Doesn't Wang Erlang's reply mean that he has deep feelings? If he agreed immediately, he would be a heartless person, not at all.
Thinking of Sister Song."
Mrs. Nie didn't care about this and comforted her daughter: "Mom, I'll choose a better one for you!"
"No." Huang E shook his head quickly.
Mrs. Nie asked: "What kind of man do you want to marry?"
Huang E suddenly laughed and said: "At least you must be the number one scholar, and you must be good at both civil and military skills. You can get off your horse to compose poems, and get on your horse to kill thieves!"
Mrs. Nie was depressed and speechless: "We will discuss this later. You are still young, so there is no need to worry."
Huang E returned to her boudoir, lay in front of the window and stared for a long time. The plum blossoms had withered, just like her mood at the moment.
"Miss, don't be too sad. Maybe after some time, Wang Erlang will agree." The maid comforted.
Huang E forced out a smile and said, "I'm very happy. Wang Erlang still misses Sister Song."
The maid murmured: "You don't lie to others when you are sad. You can tell right away."
Huang E picked up a ball, took the maid's hand and said, "Let's go play football."
This kind of football is smaller in size and is very convenient. It is simply used as a shuttlecock to kick the ball.
Huang E's playing skills were pretty good. The ball bounced around her feet, kicked and passed to the maid. The master and servant were soon sweating from the game and temporarily forgot about the stinky man.
…
Huang E was playing ball there, while Wang Yuan was studying mathematics.
To be precise, it is traditional Chinese arithmetic.
Gu Yingxiang was very diligent during this period. He even left his wife at home and came to do academic research with Wang Yuan when he had nothing to do.
The two learned from each other. If Wang Yuan wanted to innovate in mathematics, he had to have a thorough understanding of ancient mathematics. With the help of Gu Yingxiang, Wang Yuan had learned how to use calculations and truly mastered ancient Chinese equations (Tian Yuan Shu).
Damn Tian Yuan Shu, that thing is a mathematical matrix.
Our ancestors used matrices to eliminate elements when solving systems of equations. It even first appeared in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which was published in the early Western Han Dynasty!
Wang Yuan has made rapid progress in the field of traditional arithmetic, and Gu Yingxiang has also made rapid progress in the field of modern mathematics. He is currently learning functions and parabolas from Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan didn't know anything about poems, songs, classics or historical records, but he was very good at mathematics. Even though he had forgotten many formulas, when he really studied them, he could deduce and prove them by relying on his vague memory.
One day at the end of February, Gu Yingxiang was studying quadratic function parabola, and suddenly asked: "Ruoxu, if you throw a stone, why does it fall downwards in a parabolic trajectory instead of flying upwards?"
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Perhaps, the ground has a gravitational force, just like a magnet attracting iron. The gravitational force of the ground can attract everything."
"This statement is interesting, but it is difficult to prove." Gu Yingxiang thought carefully.
Who would believe it? The guy in charge of the Imperial Guard's clerical department would actually sit in a room discussing gravity with Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan walked over, pushed Gu Yingxiang, and asked, "Do you feel it?"
"What?" Gu Yingxiang didn't understand.
"Power!" Wang Yuan said.
Gu Yingxiang smiled and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Wang Yuan drew two little people on the paper and marked them with arrows: "I think that only the interaction of various forces can make people or things stay still. Just like you are standing here, you have your own downward gravity.
Correspondingly, the support force of the ground is facing you, so that you are still. And when I push you or lift you up, I apply additional force."
Gu Yingxiang thought about it carefully: "That's true, but what's the use?"
"Whether it's useful or not, let's study it first and then talk about it," Wang Yuan said with a smile.
As a result, Jinyi Weigu's research direction shifted from mathematics to mechanics midway.
