Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 163 A Sensation ([-])

At the same time, Tianjin Wei!

Song Yingxing was having a long talk with a few close friends in a high-rise compound, when suddenly someone reported: "My lord, there is an old man in the capital who sent someone to see him!"

One of the plump-looking middle-aged men said: "The capital? Who is it?"

The servant said: "You said you came to look for Mr. Song?"

"Uh." The obese man was taken aback, looked at a skinny old man in his fifties beside him and said, "Uncle, I'm here to look for you."

Song Yingxing nodded, and said to the servant: "Quick, come and see me."

Not long after, the servant invited someone from the capital to come over, saying: "This is the lord who is asking to see you."

The man who came from the capital was a dusty young man. When he saw Song Yingxing, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Nephew Huang Wu, I pay my respects to Lord Song!"

Song Yingxing helped the man up and said, "It turned out to be Nephew Huang, why are you here, brother Huang, how are you doing here?"

Huang Wudao: "Master Song, please take a step to speak."

The two went outside and found a secluded place, and Huang Wu told the truth about the fact that someone in the capital gave a lecture on the art of circumcision.

Song Yingxing took a deep breath, pondered for a while with calm eyes, and said, "When will it start?"

"Just the next morning!" Huang Wu replied.

"It's broken, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Song Yingxing sighed and said, "Since he dares to give lectures, there must be something extraordinary. Maybe this person can really solve this eternal riddle!"

"Master Song really thinks that he can solve this eternal problem?" After Huang Wu asked, he felt that it was a bit abrupt to doubt the elder, and said: "My father didn't have much hope for this."

"Let's not talk about this, I will find a way to reach the capital before the morning of the day after tomorrow." Song Yingxing was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. The capital is here, how long will it take to arrive?"

Huang Wu replied: "The younger generation traveled from the capital to Tianjin Wei, day and night, day and night, so I was afraid of delaying the adults. I didn't expect it to be too late."

In fact, there was still time, the day after tomorrow morning logically there was still a day and two nights, but seeing Song Yingxing, a skinny old man who was nearly fifty years old, Huang Wu felt that there was not enough time for him.

First of all, it is impossible for Song Yingxing to gallop and walk around the clock like he can see. Second, he has to bring Song Yingxing back to Beijing. He has not slept all day and night, okay, so he must take a rest.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!" Song Yingxing heard that Huang Wu arrived in one day and one night, and said happily: "Nephew Huang Xian will arrive in one day and one night, and the old man is also fine. I will prepare the carriages and horses, and we will set off overnight, no, no, I can’t take the carriage, the carriage is too late, I’m going to prepare the horse.”

As he said that, he was about to go out, but Huang Wu grabbed him and said, "Master Song, can your body hold it?"

"No problem." Song Yingxing gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, since Master Song can bear it, so can the younger generation, let's walk with him again." Huang Wu also gritted his teeth and said.

"Great kindness!" Song Yingxing clapped his hands and laughed.

Xu Fuzhong.

Xu Ermo ran to his father's study.

"How? Did you find it?" Xu Ji looked up at his son.

"I found it. This gentleman loves mathematics all his life, and he has a deep knowledge in abacus, so it's easy to prescribe a prescription!" Xu Ermo replied.

"Okay, Lord Zhu is going to give lectures the day after tomorrow. We can't help much, so we can only do a little bit." Xu Ji sighed and said, "If your grandfather is still here, alas..."

"Father, please don't be sad." Xu Ermo said from the side: "If Master Zhu really solves the eternal mystery of cutting the circle, I will definitely record the whole process and burn the sacrificial offering in front of Ah Ya's grave." Bye, Yazai has a spirit in the sky, I will definitely see it."

"En!" Xu Ji said: "That's fine, if Master Zhu really solves this problem, he will be the benefactor of my Xu family. In the future, when you brothers meet Master Zhu, you will be respected as elders!"

"Yes, father."

In the palace, under the service of Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen soaked his feet comfortably, and he was still reviewing memorials while soaking his feet.

Wang Chengen next to him looked distressed, and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, just rest!"

Chongzhen sighed, and said: "I want to rest too, but you see." Chongzhen took a memorial in his hand and shook his head: "The local officials came to report that this year's autumn harvest, locusts are everywhere, northern Sichuan There is almost no harvest west of Luoyang in southern Shaanxi, I, I!"

Emperor Chongzhen put the memorial on the table weakly, exhausted physically and mentally.

Memorials like this have been made every year since he took the throne. At the beginning, whenever he received these things, he would be furious, and even scolded local officials for being useless.

Later, he issued an edict of guilt several times.

Later, he was already numb, feeling that the whole sky was against him.

"Man, how can he defeat the sky?" With a weak sigh, he looked at Wang Cheng'en wearily, and lay down on the dragon chair behind his back with fascinated eyes, and said, "Tell me, what are the novel things today?" ?”

"As ordered!"

Wang Chengen poured some hot water into Chongzhen's footbath, wiped his hands with a towel and turned it to the emperor's back to give the emperor a massage. While pinching it, he said: "It is widely rumored that Zhu Changyuan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, will give a lecture in the yamen at noon the day after tomorrow. Great art of cutting circles."

"Huh?" The emperor suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words Zhu Changyuan, and said with a sharp look, "It's Zhu Changyuan again, what is the great art of cutting circles?"

There was some haze in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.This Zhu Changyuan, since he came to the capital, has been in the limelight all day long. Some time ago, he just figured out some water-crossing and leveling method, and now he is doing a circle-cutting technique!

Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, it is said that it is the number one riddle in the art of numerology. Countless people from ancient to modern times have broken their halberds here. Mr. Zhu is really smart. A few days ago, he studied crossing water..."

"Talking too much..." Chongzhen said in an indifferent manner.

Just kidding, all the disciples of the clan are talented, doesn't it seem that he, the emperor, is mediocre?

"Oh, this old slave talks too much." Wang Chengen really slapped himself twice, and after listening to Chongzhen's words, he finally figured out his thoughts, and said softly: "This Zhu Changyuan is not honest and responsible. Tinkering with these things, I will turn around and ask someone to give him a long memory."

"No need." Chongzhen waved his hand, "You are from my family, wouldn't it appear that I am stingy by doing this, let's wait and see if he can solve this eternal mystery."

On the streets of the capital, a certain A met a certain B and asked, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

A certain B said: "I heard that Zhu Changyuan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, will give lectures on the art of cutting circles in the Yamen the day after tomorrow. I will buy books on basic mathematics and study what is the art of cutting circles. The day after tomorrow I will be able to see the prosperity of the world."

"Yo, what a fate, I think so too, let's go together!"

"Please!"

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
The story of Zhu Changyuan's lecture on cutting circles was widely circulated, and almost everyone in the entire capital heard about it, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns.

However, as the instigator of the pig's feet, no matter how many people suspected and worried about him, he himself didn't take it to heart at all, and now he is busy with another matter.

It was already dark, and just after dinner, he called the two wives into his room, closed the door, and said with a playful smile: "My dear, you two are leaving tomorrow, can you think about it today, so what, we Three pieces."

"Pooh!"

Lana blushed with shame, and said, "Husband, why are you so shameless."

Yumin also said: "It's really long to look forward to Shu. I just tasted the taste of Lana's sister a few days ago, and now I think of other tricks. Let's go, Lana, we ignore him."

Zhu Changyuan waved his hands innocently, quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake, and said: "Okay, okay, you two don't leave, I have something important to find you."

"Tomorrow you will travel across the ocean to return to Riyue Island, but I can't be by your side. Pay attention to everything." Zhu Changyuan took the two of them by the hand and sat down, feeling a little worried.

"Then you still let us go?" Lana complained a little, she really didn't like that desolate island.

"Hey!" Zhu Changyuan said: "Didn't I tell you all, you seem to be calm around me, but with my bad temper, I don't know who I will offend someday, if something changes, how can I save you? "

"Okay, I'm teasing you."

Lana naturally understood the pros and cons.

"Ah."

Zhu Changyuan exchanged ten basic swimming skill books from the system, slapped Lana on the back of the head, and said, "The sea is windy and the waves are strong, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Lana was patted on the back of the head by Zhu Changyuan a few times, feeling a lot of things pouring into the sea of ​​consciousness, she couldn't tell what she felt for a while, she frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Changyuan smiled without saying a word.

In ancient times, although the navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly improved, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no shipwreck accident. If that happens, learning more skills will also give you more hope of survival no.

Another ten books of the same basic swimming skills were redeemed from the system and slapped on the back of Yu Min's head.

"And this." Zhu Changyuan got up, took out a few life jackets that had been prepared in the room, put them on the table, and said, "Don't panic when you encounter problems. If something goes wrong, put on these clothes quickly."

While speaking, he opened the life jacket, demonstrated the method of dressing and using it, and let the two of them try it in front of him.

"What is this?" Yumin asked obediently after putting on the life jacket.

"This is... uh, the clothes are filled with impermeable lightweight items, which will keep you afloat and prevent you from sinking if you fall into the sea."

"Go." Yumin took off the life jacket unhappily, "How can there be a husband like you, curse us to fall into the sea?"

Zhu Changyuan smiled bitterly again, and explained for a long time before calming down the anger of the two beautiful ladies.

Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and I was just trying to find a reason to coax the two of them to sleep with me, but Polu rushed up from downstairs in a hurry and reported: "Little prince, there is an old eunuch asking to see him, saying His surname is Cao."
