Chapter 29 Science
Cheng Wenying also poured a glass of wine: "Ba Niang, you have worked hard these days. Let alone the fact that you are the first mother of my Cheng family. Let's not talk about the porcelain code movable type that is about to succeed. Just this set of porcelain paintings.
, coupled with your reputation for doing good deeds at the dock, you are the greatest contributor to my Cheng family. Those people in the inner courtyard who flatter others and look down on others, who are short-sighted and long-mouthed, will probably turn around and try to flatter you."
Ba Niang was deeply blessed and said with a smile: "That's not the case, it's because I cherish Ba Niang."
Baniang is actually very smart. In the past, she could see many things clearly but was reluctant to do them. After a few days, she learned the reason why Su You is lovable, helpful, humble and gentle. Now she can imitate the cat and the tiger, and the results will be immediate.
Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "Come on, I'll give you a toast too. Su You is still young and can't drink this wine, so I can only watch from the side. Hahahaha..."
Banniang didn't know how strong the wine was. She looked at it like a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. She was immediately so spicy that she couldn't care less about her image as a lady and kept breathing: "Master... cough cough... this wine is so spicy..."
"
Cheng Wenying smiled even more happily: "You can't drink this wine like that. Pour it slowly and drink it slowly to get the true taste. Please call for food quickly. My nephew must be hungry."
While eating, Su You suddenly remembered something: "Oops! I forgot that my sister-in-law asked me to study rhymes every day."
Cheng Wenying said: "Now, everything should come to an end, right? Starting tomorrow, you can study hard with your sister-in-law."
Su You thought for a while, there were actually many things that could be done at the porcelain kiln, but his performance so far was already demonic, so he should take his time with the rest.
So he obediently agreed: "Yes, I will listen to my uncle-in-law."
After dinner, it was a long summer day and the sky was still bright, so Su You took Yun's book and went to Shaju to meet Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng was watering a osmanthus plant when she saw Su You coming over: "My little brother is here?"
Su You said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, Su You is wrong."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Su You said: "The mistake lies in not keeping one's word."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "Compared with the birth of jade porcelain, learning rhythm two days later is not really a fault. You are not playing around, so you don't need to take it to heart. Only a husband who has scriptures and power is a husband. If you don't know how to adapt, that is
A rotten scholar and a stiff master."
Su You bowed and said, "I never told my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "It's not too late to open the book now."
Su You opened the book on the small stone table in the garden and took out a pencil and notebook from his personal writing bag.
When she encountered something she didn't understand, Su You would ask questions. Mrs. Cheng didn't look back and explained casually while tidying up the garden.
The two of them asked and answered questions in the garden where tung flowers and phoenixes were flying.
This is another kind of knowledge. Su You is good at this. When they communicate with each other, they gain a lot and are very happy.
After Mrs. Cheng finished tending a flower garden, she raised her head and found that Su You was not only asking questions, but also writing and drawing on a notebook with a strange pen. She couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Xiao You, what are you doing?"
What are you doing?"
Su You said: "I am taking notes and writing down what my sister-in-law said. I will read and review when I have time."
Mrs. Cheng took the pen and looked at it, and then opened Su You's book. Her eyes lit up with the neat traditional Chinese calligraphy: "It is said that Ouyang Yongshu's mother cut off strawberries for a pen and taught him writing. This should be the way of calligraphy."
Already."
Su You said: "What my sister-in-law said is that I practiced this with willow branches on the soft mud beside the ditch when I was attending the village school."
Mrs. Cheng praised: "Xiaoyou is good. It seems that your talents are not all given by heaven. They are also acquired by your hard work and your love of learning and thinking."
Su You thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are many truths and phenomena that everyone is very familiar with, but there is a lack of thinking and trying. For example, the jade porcelain fired this time may seem shocking, but in fact it is reasonable.
"
Mrs. Cheng was slightly startled: "Just tell me."
Su You said: "Let's talk about the mud first. The finer the particles, the finer the kneaded mud will be. This is natural, right?"
Mrs. Cheng said: "Exactly."
Su You said: "Those who are fine will float, and those who are coarse will sink. This is natural. Sister-in-law, are you right?"
Mrs. Cheng said: "I understand what you mean. This principle can be used to separate the thick and fine porcelain clay. Whichever is finer will be a more superior and suitable porcelain clay."
Su You smiled and said: "Exactly. Speaking of carbon refining, everyone knows that wood can be burned into charcoal, and the charcoal produced will produce a higher temperature than wood when used, right?"
Mrs. Cheng nodded: "Exactly...wait a minute, so when you see that pebbles can also be burned, you infer that pebbles can also be burnt into another kind of charcoal material. Try it and you will get it, get it..."
Su You nodded: "My little brother named it Jiao Tan."
Mrs. Cheng said: "That's true."
Su You said: "Another example is the porcelain kiln. In the past, the temperature was uneven and it was easy to be defective. This was because the hot air inside rose to the top of the kiln and then came down along the walls of the kiln, forming such a large circular air flow, just like cooking in a large pot.
Soup like that.”
After finishing speaking, he sat down and took another page of his notebook to draw a schematic diagram of a porcelain kiln. He used arrows to mark the air circulation trajectory, and then pointed with the tip of his pen at the center of the large circulation air flow: "It is also uneven because of its size. Circle it."
The temperature will definitely be higher than the temperature at the center of the circle. Sister-in-law, how do you think this problem should be solved?"
Mrs. Cheng sat down and thought about the flow of air in the steamed bun kiln, and said, "There must be some device to disrupt the flow of air. It would be nice if there was a fan inside."
Su You added two sets of downward parallel short slashes on the kiln wall: "It's really similar to what my sister-in-law said, but it's more appropriate to describe it as a rudder. Now the airflow will become like this..."
A small circle was added next to each diagonal line and an arrow was added: "Look, the air flow should be like this now. Use this device to disrupt the air flow path in the kiln. I call it a spoiler."
Mrs. Cheng picked up the book and read it carefully again, and sighed: "Xiaoyou, sister-in-law is a little disappointed. It turns out that you are not born with wisdom and know it from birth."
After saying that, he put down the notebook and looked at him with bright eyes: "But my sister-in-law is more happy. This shows that Xiaoyou is observant and can see things that others cannot see, so he can discover things that others cannot."
"Everyone can't think of things that we are used to every day when we need to solve a problem, but you can. This is called paying attention to everything and learning."
Su You smiled slightly: "Observe, associate, calculate, experiment, summarize the rules, and draw conclusions. Then keep it in one mind and use it for hundreds of years."
Mrs. Cheng suddenly thought of a question and said in surprise: "If all this knowledge is collected and accumulated, can it be possible to study the principles of heaven and earth? Qu Zi's "Tian Wen" and Yang Zi's "Tai Xuan" both have explanations and answers?"
Su You said: "I dare not be so arrogant. However, porcelain and alcohol are just small things. My sister-in-law is right. Pay close attention to the details and study the principles of heaven and earth. This knowledge can be called science."
Mrs. Cheng left her seat and gave a respectful salute to Su You: "The Su family is lucky. How many people have been ignorant all their lives and become bookworms who know nothing about the scriptures, but they don't know the door to advance knowledge. Xiaoyou, you have entered the door of knowledge and stepped on it.
The road is clear."
No matter how thick-skinned Su You was, he did not dare to accept such a gift. He jumped up and said with a red face: "Sister-in-law, I can't afford such a big gift."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I hope that one day, Xiaoyou, you will be worthy of the world giving you such a great gift."
Even if Su You is not a child now, today's move is a helpless move to explain that he is such a monster, but after all, he is cheating the world and stealing his name. At this moment, he can't help but be deeply moved: "Sister-in-law, Su You must work hard, be knowledgeable and determined, no matter
My sister-in-law takes care of me."
In today's Song Dynasty, if you can't pass the Jinshi examination, then there is nothing to worry about.
But Su You didn't believe it. With such a good learning environment, learning conditions, all kinds of good teachers, plus the knowledge of later generations, his own conscious diligence plus the new hype and marketing methods of later generations, he couldn't get a Jinshi title!
The judicial system is not strict yet, it just needs to be handled by the big bosses in the state capital.
At Jinshi Pass, there is an important opportunity for cheating under Ouyang Xiu.
