Chapter 1,147 Love Reading

The two boys each held a bowl of water on their heads. When Su You came in, Ping Guan's eyes rolled around and he signaled to his father.

Su You pretended not to notice and sat next to Shi Wei: "Do you know the price of Si Tianjian's telescope?"

The two boys didn't dare to shake their heads. If they shook their heads, the water bowl on top would definitely be knocked over.

Su You asked and answered: "The Liao Kingdom's Si Tianjian has just reached an agreement with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can install a sky-gazing mirror for them. The price offered is one hundred thousand guan."

"How much is one hundred thousand guan? For a yard like ours in Bianjing City, you can easily buy ten of them."

"The kind of giant schooner that can only come from the Yellow River during the flood season. The Hangzhou type, which is larger than the Kuizhou type, can buy a fleet of ten ships."

"It is equivalent to one-fifth of the annual coins that the Song Dynasty gave to the Liao Kingdom and half of the annual coins that the Song Dynasty gave to Xixia."

Now I have an idea. The flat can is better. Wang Yanbi’s legs started to shake a little. Princess Shu, oh no, it’s time to call her the eldest princess of Shu. That family law is really scary.

Su You continued: "To remove the objective lens of Si Tianjian's sky mirror, first of all, we must hide it from the observatory's uncles, secondly, we must know how to assemble and disassemble the sky mirror, and thirdly, we must have a set of special tools...

...To be honest, you are actually much more powerful than I was when I was your age."

Seeing Bian Guan grinning, Su You winked at him: "But don't think I'm complimenting you. King Zhou and Emperor Yang of Sui were both very capable and loved to show off, just like you now.

"

"But the more capable a person is, the more harmful it will be if there is a mistake in the direction of display."

"Now you have all reached the age where you love to show off, love to go out of your way, and love to show that you are unique, but before we show off and go out of our way, shouldn't we also consider the direction?"

"First judge whether something is right or wrong. If it is right, and then think of ways to show off, then I will definitely only praise you and even help you."

"The fact that you two secretly did something like this without informing your parents and teachers is enough to show that you both know that this is wrong."

"You know something is wrong but you still do it. Do you think it's interesting to show off like this?"

The expressions of the two children changed a bit.

Su You continued: "Yangsui uses the principle of refraction of light. Through special design, it gathers them together in one place and concentrates the energy. You all understand this principle."

"To achieve energy concentration, a medium must be present through the principle of refraction. The medium must be transparent and large enough. The cost is really too high."

"In fact, through the principle of reflection, metal mirrors can be realized, and the cost is much cheaper."

"Since you want to show off, I'll give you a chance to show off. After dinner, you can try drawing with a ruler and compass to design something that uses the principle of reflection to focus light."

"Also, now that the matter has been done, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Starting tomorrow, after school, go to Si Tianjian to repair the sky-gazing mirror."

"Let me make it clear to you first that this work is extremely difficult. It needs to be operated in a dust-free environment. Just trying to obtain this environment is a big issue."

"You also need to learn a whole set of knowledge - cleaning and air filtration systems in dust-free environments, cleaning and maintenance of astronomical instruments, working principles and installation of original parts, final debugging, calculation of measurement angles, etc."

After speaking, he spread his hands and said with a sad face: "I guess you have to ask your little aunt to open a small stove for you. Bian Gu, Yan Bi, you have to bear your own responsibility. This year's winter vacation is gone..."

Now the two children knew that their hearts were hurting, and the mouth of the flat pot finally became deflated.

Su You didn't seem to notice: "By the way, we have a little guest at home today. Her name is Guan'er. She will be staying at our house for the next few days. Bian Guan, haven't you been making trouble that you don't have a sister? That's a lot.

A sister."

The corners of Bian Guan's mouth suddenly stopped puckering. Shedding tears in front of girls wouldn't be a shame. Bear it, you must bear it!

Su You then turned to Shi Wei and said, "Weier, do you think this is okay?"

Shi Wei, the mother-in-law, was decisive and looked at the two pitiful boys: "Do you agree?"

The two boys whispered together: "Agree."

Shi Wei put the feather duster into the large bottle of rose gradient glaze: "Eat!"

Guan'er's big eyes flashed. He heard from his brother that the magical magnification principle of the sky mirror can pull the moon in the sky to his eyes.

It is also said that there are many ring-shaped mountains on the moon, which seem to be covered with ice and frost, and no traces of water veins, vegetation, etc. can be seen.

I don’t know which mountain Chang’e lived on. It was a tiny dot smaller than the tip of a needle and could not be detected even with a sky-gazing mirror.

This was only after the eldest brother came under the supervision of Mr. Su, and Mr. Su used his connections to entrust Chen Shanchang to give the eldest brother a chance to see it. When he came back, he was so excited that he chatted with the second brother all night.

Is the elder brother of the Duke of Guo so naughty and knowledgeable? Not only was he able to access the artifact, he even... even dismantled it.

Seeing this cute little girl, Shi Wei couldn't help but glared at Su You, meaning you made me act like a bad person in front of children again, and then she took the little girl's hand and smiled: "What a cute little girl."

Sister, if my brothers are naughty, auntie will take care of them. Don’t be afraid. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Would you like to eat with us?”

Guan'er whispered: "Uncle Tanhua gave me osmanthus cake."

Su You smiled and said, "That's just to cushion your belly. Come on, Guan'er will sit next to your aunt, and we'll start eating."

Bian Guan was clever and ran to add a pair of chopsticks and a bowl to Guan'er.

Su You then smiled and said: "He's a bit like a brother, Wei'er. This kid is very smart and familiar with the Tao Te Ching. You will definitely like him."

Shi Wei scooped a meatball for Guan'er: "Whose little sister is this?"

Su You said to Guan'er: "Guan'er, our family eats freely and can talk."

After saying that, he said to Shi Wei: "This is the younger sister of Bi Yizhong, the great-granddaughter of Duke Bi Wenjian of the Renzong Dynasty. I have always admired Bi Gong as a person. Today I went to visit Brother Bi and found out that he is seriously ill."

"Qian Yi sent him to Ningshan Hall and said he was going to be hospitalized. Guan'er's second brother, Uncle Bi, had to stay there to take care of him. Since there was no one else at home, I brought Guan'er."

"Hasn't my little sister always been looking for female disciples? I think Guan'er would be good."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Bian Guan, Yan Bi, you have to take good care of your sister and don't be naughty again, you know?"

Wang Yanbi was a little unhappy: "Dad came back and told me to go home and live there. I don't want to go back."

Su You said: "It's right to go back and live there. Your father's articles, poems, music, and paintings are all the best in the Song Dynasty. You should learn more from him."

This was Wang Yanbi's family matter. Of course Su You couldn't mention the emotional entanglements between his parents and Wang Yanbi, and he had to maintain the image of his father in front of his children.

I heard from Shi Wei that after the prince-in-law returned to Beijing, Princess Shu and he "respected each other as if they were guests", and the princess still provided for food and drink.

But the prince-in-law was not allowed to be summoned and did not dare to enter the princess's mansion again. Anyway, Shi Wei went to the princess's house many times and never saw the king's prince-in-law. Moreover, the princess now has to go to the charity fund to handle affairs every day, and the Wang family did not dare to say a word.

It's not.

The true relationship between the couple is unknown to outsiders and has no way of commenting.

Wang Yanbi said: "But I think science and engineering are also very interesting."

Su You smiled: "I didn't ask you to give up on science and engineering. You also have to keep up with martial arts."

"In the Song Dynasty, there were many scholar-bureaucrats who could cross the Yangtze River at a hundred steps. In the past, Chen Kangsu was able to win the first prize in the Golden Palace, and Wu was able to shoot arrows through the eyes of money. After becoming an official, he built frontier fortresses to defend Xixia and made great contributions to the court."

The younger sister suddenly said: "Dong Chen Kangsu's elder brother is also the number one scholar. One of them was born in the second year of Duangong of Renzong, and the other was born in the third year of Xianping of Zhenzong."

Su You was stunned for a moment, then the younger sister said: "This is what the great-grandfather left in his notes."

Su You was curious: "Guan'er, how can you read this kind of book? You shouldn't be interested in these at your age, right?"

Guan'er said: "But there are no books at home to read. All the books with words have been read to me."
