After receiving the promise of Uncle Ding, Ah Sheng became a Buddha and sat in his seat as quiet as a chicken, thinking about the next plan. It wasn't until the tea and snacks were all over that she stood up in a daze and followed the others to the banquet hall, where lunch should have been served.

     

    Xiaodouding was pulled away by Luo Chi, and knelt down on the ground: "Father, I want to learn to read."

    It's Cao Yu.

    If I hadn't been able to meet during the New Year's Eve, Ah Sheng would have almost forgotten this younger brother.

    "Ayu? What are you doing in front of the guests?" Cao Song drank.

     

    Cao Yu is two years and one month younger than the twins, and now she is six years old, and she is white and tender. He bit his lip, not daring to answer his father's words, but held back his tears and raised his head, his eyes full of hope.

    Second Uncle Ding and Cousin Ding were embarrassed at this time, and encountered other people's housework. Although the Yin family used to be the servant of the Ding family and the dowry of the Ding family, it is now Cao Song's concubine. According to the established etiquette, Cao Yu of the Yin family has no relationship with the Ding family at all, just like the Zhang family has no relationship with the Zhang Wen family.

    Cousin Ding stepped aside: "Why don't I go ahead with my father? It's enough to have a servant to lead the way, and my father also knows the way." Clear, no mess.

    Second Uncle Ding quickly agreed: "Ju Gao, you take care of your housework first, and Cheng Ji and I will go to the banquet room first."

    Cao Song is very embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

    When the guest left, Hu Shi was the first to attack: "Yin Shi, what do you mean? I have never lacked you for food and clothing, but it was the Kaimeng matter that was shied away from keeping filial piety for two days. Just embarrassing me in front of Langjun and the guests?! Okay! I can't control this matter, let Langjun decide for you!"

    She said it all here, Cao Song must maintain the dignity of his first wife: "The maid gives birth to a child, what words do you recognize? Geely and Ruyi have not been apprentices for three years. Come with your son-in-law first."

    Yin squatted on the ground and didn't dare to look up: "Langjun, madam, please also ask Langjun and madam to have a side with Ayuwang."

    Cao Song waved his hand in disgust: "It's also my flesh and blood, how about I take him as a child? Since you can't raise the child well and let him cause trouble, then don't raise it. Today will be Ayu sent it to the main courtyard."

    Hu: "I don't want it!"

    Er... Ah Sheng and his brother looked at each other, and the mother was obviously angry. Hu's temper is straight, it's best not to confront her at this time.

    Hu sneered: "I think it's good for Ayu to be raised in the maid's room." The maid will be a maid and give birth to a child all her life. Mother does not like to come from a low background, not even a decent servant.

    Yin shivered on the ground, even if she couldn't see her face, one could imagine that she was crying. "The servant girl's life is cheap... I am implicated in Ayu... Let the face of Lang Jun be dull..."

    Hu's wet nurse Chang Shi saw that things were stuck, and hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "Langjun, Madam, the guests of the Ding family are still waiting in the banquet room."

    Cao Song slapped his forehead. "Yes, yes. Come on, send Yin's mother and son back to the room, and take a month to reflect on their faults." He coaxed Hu again: "Let's go first, don't let the Ding family see a joke."

    This little storm has come to a conclusion.

    At this time, Cao Yu calmed down and knelt on the ground and cried. From beginning to end, no one cared about "he wants to read".

    A Sheng also regretted it later. At that time, her mind was occupied by the Hainan Island plan, and she did not devote herself to the mothers of out-of-school children and out-of-school children.

    That night, Yin was hanged on the beam of his room.

    "This... is this dead?" When the news came, Hu Shi's hands trembled, and her face turned pale, "I just reprimanded her a few words? Why did she die?"

    She felt guilty and guilty. When she arrived at the scene, she glanced at the body and looked away.

    In the late winter and early spring, the weather was still cold, there was no brazier in the Yin family's house, and the body was already cold. Cao Yumu knelt on the side in a daze, his expression sluggish, he didn't know if he was scared or frozen. Because even when the Yin family was restrained, Cao Song called him without the slightest response, so everyone said that Wulang was probably stupid.

    Just out of the filial piety, the family died, which is very unlucky in the eyes of the masters. Under the persuasion of several sisters-in-law, Hu found several alchemists, Taoists, witches and the like to come to the house to remove bad luck. She didn't really believe these things at first, but since the death of Yin Shi, she has been plagued by nightmares, and she can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

    Hu's family never made any mistakes after marrying into the Cao family. Until this incident, saying that she treated the concubine's house harshly and forced her to commit suicide could be a little bit on the edge. That's why she was particularly troubled.

    A Sheng is also worried about this.

    "Asheng, aren't you going back to another hospital today? Why did you stay for one more day? Because of Ayu's mother?" Cao Cao asked her.

    A Shenghu sat on a large rock outside Cao's house, imitating the "Thinker" sculpture with one hand on his cheek: "Why did Ayu suddenly run out?"

    Cao Cao spread his hands: "Someone probably pushed him, Yin is stupid, or someone wants to kill Yin, who knows? In short, it has nothing to do with us."

    "I still remember her looking like she was picking up leaves in her mother's yard with a big belly. After all, there is some friendship in the past. I thought she was luckier than her mother and gave birth to the child safely, but Unexpectedly, there is still no escape from the word 'death'."

    Cao Cao folded a newly grown dog's tail grass from the side. "Does she deserve your sympathy for her own death? She wants to die, has she thought about Ayu's feelings? Even if she is dragged down by her biological mother, as a child, she still wants her mother to live."

    "Eh? Did I say she was seeking her own death?"

    "Huh?"

    "Yin was hanged after being strangled to death. The strangulation marks on the neck are all behind, but neither mother nor father checked it carefully. They wanted to get this matter out of the way quickly. "

    "Then..."

    "A Yu lives next door to the Yin family. If he sees it, it will be even more pitiful."

    Cao Cao's face sank: "Someone in the family sneaked into the house late at night to kill? This kind of person can't be kept! Do you check? If you don't check, I'll check!"

     It won't get mixed up."

      However, as Cao Cao said, no matter how they fought, they would not dare to touch their heirs who were surrounded by loyal servants. There is no danger, but Cao Cao is not very happy. In his still simple conception, both the murderer and the messenger should be judged justly. However, in fact, except for the executioner at the bottom, he could not achieve more results he wanted.

    When Cao Cao dragged Ayu to the other courtyard, Asheng was teaching the "first-term students" in person, talking about optical path refraction, the use of sextants and the measurement of latitude and longitude. Students who have only studied elementary school mathematics for three years are bewildered by trigonometry.

    "If you have any questions, just ask."

    Twenty-seven raised his hand hesitantly. He was almost fourteen years old, and his height began to increase. With his strong muscles, the seat appeared to be cramped. But no matter how strong you are, in Ah Sheng's class, you will have to admit it.

    A Sheng wiped his fingers whitened by chalk: "Twenty-seven."

    "Master, is the earth really spherical?"

    "I don't count whether it is spherical or not, but the book says it doesn't count. You can only find out by measuring it yourself."

    "Oh...the guy under the ball...won't it fall?"

    "First there is heaven and earth, and then there is up and down. You and the people behind the ball think that the direction of the sky is up, and the direction of the earth is down. As for the earth itself, it is suspended in the void, surrounded by air. The package itself is not divided into upper and lower." Ah Sheng spread his hands and couldn't bear to see the children's shattered eyes. Today's class is definitely beyond the syllabus, and she speaks faster, presumably most people can't keep up. But her purpose is not to teach, but to screen out children who are gifted in geography and geometry as one of the first candidates to be sent to Jiaozhou.

    On the space exchange day last year, she got the distribution map of major minerals in the country. Although a bit rough, the accuracy definitely beats the Eastern Han military maps of the same period. With the map, there must be a surveyor who can determine the longitude and latitude for prospecting. The Ding family provides a guide who is familiar with the customs and customs of the south. She also needs to arrange for medical staff who carry a large amount of Artemisia annua extract and strong people with weapons. Jiading. Finally, there must be a diplomat who can support the scene and deal with the wealthy.

    Speaking of the diplomats, Ah Sheng thought: "Kong Mo."

    "Nuo, No. I'm here." Kong Mo suddenly raised his head from the pile of scraps, "Master, I also think it's more reasonable to talk about Hun Tianyi than Gai Tianyi. You When looking at the carriages coming from afar, the umbrella cover is usually exposed first, which is a proof that the earth is in an arc. Moreover, the earth revolves around the sun, which perfectly explains why the four seasons change; if the sun revolves around the earth, then Both solar and lunar eclipses can be measured!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became. "I'm going to make an 'all-astronomical instrument' to ensure that the astronomical calendar can be measured, which is more accurate than the armillary sphere!"

    The students were so enthusiastic that Ah Sheng was speechless. She was a little uncomfortable with the "modern" science madman like Kong Mo.

    "Artisan?"

    Craftsman Ai nodded: "I understand. Does the master want more sextants? There are still some small pieces of flat glass left."

    Yan Wen, who was sitting in the last row of the classroom, raised her hand: "I also understand. I have some new ideas about terrain sketching, please correct me."

    "Where's Liu?"

    Mathematics teacher, Southern Indigenous Liu Shi hated his colleagues for half a second, and then decided to tell the truth: "Half understanding."

    "Okay, Kong Mo, you take the lead, and you are responsible for teaching everyone how to measure longitude and latitude. Tomorrow I will talk about the earth's magnetic field and map mapping. get out of class is over!"

    A Sheng threw away the students who were still in a state of confusion, and ran out of the door. "Why are you here, brother?"

    Cao Cao rubbed his chin: "Asheng, is the earth really a sphere?"

    A Sheng: "Hey, it doesn't matter if it's round or not. When you can lead troops to fight, I will keep and send you a few technical soldiers who can draw maps. Why do you still bring Are you here with Ayu?"

    My sister didn't want to go into details, and Cao Cao didn't bother. He really stayed away from the scientific research work in the workshops of other schools.

    Although Cao Yu was stunned, his eyes were straight without dodging: "Second brother, I want to learn literacy and arithmetic."

    "This...you should find your father and mother..."

    "They won't teach me!"

    "Ayu..."

    "Second brother, I'll sign a contract for you, let me study."

    Don't be stupid, no matter how low the status of the younger brother is, can he really be used as a servant? It is no longer the pre-Qin period when the status of children followed their mothers. A Sheng said with a solemn face: "You are not allowed to mention the matter of the body contract, it is inappropriate and unreasonable! And I don't have time to give you counseling. If you want to learn, you have to hide your name with the servants, and what you learn is not traditional. The Five Classics are useless as an official."

    Cao Yu's eyes widened slightly, and Ah Sheng could almost see the light of hope: "Second brother, I will study with the servants. I just want to learn. Learning...The earth is like a ball."

    It is fate to be able to speak up here. The twins looked at each other, and the matter was settled.

     "Brother, you will really cause trouble for me. Everything else is easy to say, but it's not easy for mother to explain."

    Cao Cao sneered, brought tea and water to his sister, and apologized.

    Hu's family doesn't care what Cao Yu learns at all, but the twins cover up and offend her concubine, which makes her uncomfortable: "Erlang said that he will start teaching the boy in September. With half a year's buffer, it is still Take care of my face. But I always feel bad in my heart. I wonder if Dalang Erlang will be able to take care of him like this when my child is born."

    Chang shied her back and said, "It's not biological. Madam still has her own children!"
