Chapter 268
Sun Dan’s method seems very simple, but the theoretical basis for the contraction of blood vessels when they are cold is the molecular kinetic theory in modern physics. When a substance is heated, the molecules move violently, and the gaps between them become larger, so the object will become larger. get smaller.The distribution of blood vessels in the human head is related to human anatomy.

It sounds simple, but it is an epoch-making technological leap to be able to summarize this principle and put it into practice.

In ancient times, when encountering nosebleeds, doctors mostly used herbal medicine or acupuncture.Whether using herbs or acupuncture, the purpose is to constrict the capillaries on the nasal mucosa.It's just that the ancients knew it, but they didn't know why.

Seeing that the students were all interested, Sun Dan became interested himself. After Chen Hong's nosebleed stopped, he returned to the study and stopped talking about Zhuangzi. He simply talked about the structure of the human body with the eunuchs. And raised a pen to draw a map of the distribution of the five internal organs.And talked about the role of the major human organs.

The young eunuchs in the palace are also well-read intellectuals, and some people have read medical books and are no strangers to medicine.However, the yin-yang, five-element, and heaven-human interaction that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to is fundamentally two different concepts from Western medicine.Sun Dan's set of medical theories is unheard of and unseen for people of this era. Although it may be suspected of heresy, it is also an eye-opener.

Although Chen Hong and others still have some disdain for the modern medical knowledge taught by Sun Dan, or are unwilling to admit this set of theories, but everything Sun Dan said is so fresh, people can't help but feel trapped in it .

Before I knew it, it was already noon, and the class for this day was finished.

Only then did Sun Dan come to his senses: "Hey, I was going to talk about Zhuangzi, but I was delayed when I talked about medicine. Next time, next time!" After speaking, he picked up the book and walked out of the study slowly.

"Thank you, sir. Let's go slowly, sir." All the little eunuchs stood up, and this time they were neat.

Sun Dan also smiled wryly in his heart: Prospering science is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Although I am determined to be in politics, politics is a high-risk business.If the official career is not going well in the future, you might as well open an academy to educate the people and inspire their wisdom.Democracy and science, Mr. De and Mr. Sai are the only way to promote the progress of the times.It's a pity that scholars outside blindly read stereotyped writing, hoping to change their personal destiny through reading.The only ones who can study and seek knowledge with peace of mind are these little eunuchs who are not under the pressure of exams, right?This is also a frustrating thing.

This day's class is over. According to Sun Dan's schedule, he will have lunch in the inner study hall at noon.It's almost Beijing time now, and it's too late to rush home to eat.After eating, rest for half an hour, and then go home to reunite with Zhi Niang.I have to wait until early tomorrow morning before going back to Fangshan.

As soon as Sun Dan walked out of the study, Lu Fang followed: "Mr. is going to have lunch, so let the students wait by the side."

"no, I'm fine."

"Yes, yes."

The people in the court were really easy to serve. Lu Fang led Sun Dan to the dining room, immediately wiped the tables and chairs clean, and respectfully brought Sun Dansheng a bowl of rice.

Sun Dan pointed to the chair next to him: "Let's eat together."

Lu Fang seemed to be a little happy, thanked her hurriedly, served a meal, and sat beside her.

According to the regulations of the school, the students have their own meals.Lu Fang had a very unpleasant fight with Chen Hong just now, and now that she passes by, she is afraid that she will be beaten by him.Now that he is by Sun Dan's side, Chen Hong has nothing to do with him.

This kid is really a monkey spirit, he looks so honest.

Sun Dan shook his head secretly, put down his chopsticks, and said to Lu Fang: "Lu Fang, you are one of the best students of the teacher, and I am also optimistic about your future. It is impossible to avoid it. If you can hide for a while, you will not be able to hide for a lifetime. The teacher knows that you and Chen Hong have conflicts, but after all, you are classmates, and there is no great hatred. What are you afraid of? As a human being, you must face things bravely. "

Lu Fang held the chopsticks in the air and called out timidly, "Sir."

Sun Dan smiled softly: "When people are young, they feel that some things are as big as the sky, and they seem to be unable to live when they encounter them. But after many years have passed, and many things have been encountered, looking back, they are actually nothing special. .”

When did Lu Fang hear such heart-to-heart words, and seeing Sun Dan's kind eyes, tears suddenly fell down.He carefully put the chopsticks on the table, and said: "Sir, since my godfather fell, I... my life is getting worse day by day, although people can bully me. Especially that Chen Hong, who is always teasing me Me. If I don’t obey, I will be punched.”

Sun Dan: "What happened to you last night, did you go to the casino with Chen Hong?"

"En." Lu Fang lowered his eyelids, and replied: "Chen Hong likes to hit the horse hanging, but he beats badly, and he loses money. Crazy."

The so-called horse hanging is Mahjong.It's just that Ma Hang is a playing card, while Mahjong is a domino.

According to the research of later generations, the horse hanging was popular in the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. As for when it was invented, there is no way to verify it.As far as Sun Dan knows now, this thing was at least a thing before Zhengde.

Horse cranes are divided into four types: Shiwanguan, Wanguan, Suozi and Wenqian.Among them, the two colors of Wanguan and Suozi are from one to nine; one hundred thousand is from 90 to [-], and even one is one million, ten million, and ten thousand; Wenqian is from one to nine. Even half-text and no-text each.

Sun Dan smiled: "Isn't Chen Hong Huang Jin's godson, and someone dares to ask for his debt?"

A trace of sarcasm suddenly flashed across Lu Fang's dull face: "Eunuch Huang is very popular now, and those in the palace who are willing to give him his son are like crucian carp crossing the river. Now, the Huang family has eight hundred if not one thousand sons. After the eunuch accepted Chen Hong on a whim, he turned around and forgot about him. Moreover, Chen Hong owed money to Eunuch Zhong of Dongchang. Eunuch Zhong is the godson of Eunuch Bi Yun. Others are afraid of Huang Jin. Eunuch Bi was not afraid. Chen Hong owed Eunuch Zhong money, which was not much at first, only five dollars, but because Chen Hong was so bad at playing cards, he would lose every bet, so he owed Eunuch Zhong two more. Who is Mr. Zhong, he is a fan of Dongchang, and he is a usurer. After a month, the interest is rolling, and Chen Hong now owes him more than 100 taels."

"Ah, so much?" Sun Dan was a little surprised: "This Chen Hong is really bold, dare to owe such a debt?"

Lu Fang: "Chen Hong has never been so courageous. However, he owes so much money to others, and his life is also very difficult. Seeing that he is being cleaned up by the people of Dongchang. Not only is all the monthly allowances confiscated, but even the money just issued this year The two sets of winter clothes that came down were not carried by the father-in-law of the East Factory."

It was only then that Sun Dan remembered that Chen Hong's palace attire was very thin and patched in many places, obviously it was the old attire from last year.He couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "This child."

Sun Dan asked again: "So, what happened yesterday?"

Lu Fang then said: "Mr. Hui, Chen Hong saw that the people of the East Factory cleaned up the sky, and was beaten all over the ground twice in three days. He was also anxious. He brought a few thugs to us after dinner yesterday. Come here for the money."

"Stealing money?" Sun Dan said, "Puzz!" He said, "You only owe one tael a month, and he owes him more than 100 taels. Could it be that he wants to rob more than 100 people in one go?" That is to say, a school bully who specializes in bullying lower grade students.

"He robbed the money not to pay off the debt, but to raise money for gambling." Lu Fang's eyes fell on the food, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Sun Dan raised the chopsticks: "While eating, I said that it won't taste good when it's cold, and my stomach will hurt if I eat cold rice."

"Thank you, sir." Lu Fang was probably very hungry, and when she was growing up again, she hurriedly took a bite of rice, and then said: "Recently, a casino opened in the capital. It's called Sihai Casino. The tricks in it are different." Not much. But there is one thing, the bankers inside have a lot of money, and they often lose money. Many people win a lot of money in it. Chen Hong gambled with others in the palace and never won. I heard that there are Such a good one went out, so he moved his mind and wanted to make a fortune. So, he also pocketed money and went there several times."

"What happened later?" Sun Dan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lu Fang's bowl: "Move the chopsticks, move the chopsticks."

Lu Fang's mouth was dripping with oil, and he was not as restrained as before. He smiled and said, "Others may win a little at the Four Seas Gambling House, but Chen Hong can't. His stinky hand, no matter how generous the dealer is, he can't win." It’s a clean loser. I went a few times and returned to the palace naked every time. But Chen Hong was unconvinced and came to us with him yesterday, and robbed a few taels of silver, saying he was going out to make money.”

"He stole the money, so he just went, why did he take you with him?" Sun Dan asked strangely.

Lu Fang was a little ashamed: "Mr. Hui, although Lu Fang doesn't gamble, but because of his clever mind, he is very good at horse hanging. Then Chen Hong finally admitted that his craft is not good enough, so he asked me to help him play cards."

Lu Fang: "I can't help it either. I was dragged out of the palace by Chen Hong, and then I entered the gamble. Originally, everything went smoothly. With my skills, I won several taels in less than an hour. But Chen Hong Hong felt that playing like this was not the way to go, and he didn’t know that it would take a long time to win back the money he owed to others. So he hid a few cards and handed them to me at critical moments, hoping to make a big one. A few cards aroused the enthusiasm of the casino staff. Be vigilant, and someone caught you.

So, the thugs in the casino came out and beat Chen Hong up. "

Speaking of this, Lu Fang chuckled gloatingly: "Fortunately, I saw that the situation was not right, so I threw the card and ran away. I didn't get caught at last."

Sun Dan was a little surprised: "What's the origin of this casino? How could it even dare to beat the eunuchs in the palace?"

Lu Fang replied: "I heard people say that the owner of the casino seems to be some kind of relative of Concubine Zhang Gui."

"That's no wonder." Sun Dan knew it in his heart. He heard people say that Concubine Zhang Gui was in favor, and the emperor also intended to make her a queen. No wonder his family was so happy.However, Sun Dan's heart still moved: Are Concubine Zhang's relatives Zhang Qiangwei's father and daughter?
Sun Dan thought about it for a while, and his heart became more and more sure of his guess.
