Shen Kuo had a beautiful dream, in which his wife was no longer sick from time to time, but as gentle as she was at the beginning.

In his dreams, those people no longer laughed at the tricks and tricks he studied, and even his favorite arithmetic could have someone to talk to him with at night.

It's just that this guy in front of him, how do you look at it and want to punch it.

"You're awake, you're scared to death. Next time you want to die at your doorstep, don't die at my doorstep, aren't you slandering? ”

Tang Ning's mouth was like a poisonous snake's fangs in Shen Kuo's eyes, constantly spewing venom.

"You, you, you, ......" Shen Kuo's face turned pale, and he stretched out a finger and pointed at Tang Ning tremblingly and nodded several times.

Tang Ning grabbed Shen Kuo's finger and said sincerely: "You want to die, and you will die after finishing your book, you will be responsible for the readers!"

Okay, don't get angry just yet, drink some water. ”

As he spoke, Tang Ning handed over a bowl of water and brought it to Shen Kuo's mouth.

Shen Kuo was indeed a little thirsty, so he opened his mouth and drank it in small sips.

The water was warm, so Shen Kuo drank the bowl of water at once. After drinking the water, I felt some strength in my body, sat up on the bed board, glanced at the unfamiliar scene around me and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"This is my home, do you have amnesia?" Tang Ning was shocked, this is terrible, if Shen Kuo hadn't written "Dream Creek Writings" and would have lost his memory, how to arrange himself in the history books of later generations, it is estimated how ugly and ugly those words would be.

Shen Kuo rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Why don't you send the old man back to Mengxi Garden?" ”

"I've already sent my cook, you just fainted at the door of my house, and woke up too early, otherwise your eldest son will come to pick you up in a while."

"In the past, the old man asked you, how did you know that the old man was writing a book?"

Tang Ning wanted to grit his teeth and tell him that not only did he know, but in a few hundred years, as long as he studied science, there would be few readers who were not you, Shen Kuo, Shen Mengxi.

Moreover, Tang Ning also wants to say that when you finish writing this book in a few years, you will print it in a book, and send it out regardless of whether you are a Liao, a Xixia person, or a Jurchen, as long as you know the Great Song script, you will know these secret technologies of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Mr. Mengxi, you are very talented, who in the world does not know, who does not know? It's a real pity for someone like you who doesn't leave a book or two.

Besides, that day...... I've seen it all, too. ”

Shen Kuo's change of face is a must, he was slightly interested in the last second, and he became very melancholy in the next second.

It can be seen that he is not sad because this kid saw me being abused by my wife, but because of my wife's illness.

Tang Ning also determined that Zhang was absolutely schizophrenic. Otherwise, Shen Kuo would have divorced his wife a long time ago, with his current downcast with broken drums and thousands of pounds, how could he still stand the restlessness of the house?

Moreover, although Shen Boyi was dissatisfied with the Zhang family, he didn't do anything too out of line, just endured it silently. And Shen Qingzhi disguised himself as a foodie, so that his mother didn't do anything else when he was sick, just feed him.

These things in Shen Kuo's house, Tang Ning understood it at a dining table the last time he went to his house.

Especially Shen Qingzhi, a fat man, was sweating profusely and grinning his teeth, and he also said to Zhang that he was hungry, which can be regarded as another way of filial piety.

"Let Tang Xiaoyou see the joke." Shen Kuo's mood was a little depressed, his already old face suddenly lost its color, became dull, arched his hand, and got up with great effort, preparing to leave the Tang family.

Tang Ning was a little unbearable, after all, this is a great scientist who will shine infinitely in the future, and this situation only makes Tang Ning's heart a little sad.

So he subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "Fifty-three." ”

"What fifty-three?"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin points troops ......"

Shen Kuo stopped, looked back at Tang Ning and said in surprise: "You actually calculated it?" ”

"It's not that difficult......"

"The towering ancient temple is in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many monks there are in the temple. Three hundred and sixty-four bowls, see if you run them out. Three people eat a bowl of rice, and four people eat a bowl of soup. May I ask the boy who knows how many monks in the temple. ”

After Shen Kuo raised this question, he saw Tang Ning go out with a frown. Shen Kuo was a little curious, so he followed behind, but saw Tang Ning enter the study, and wrote some strange symbols on the paper with a pen, so that he couldn't understand it.

Just as he leaned over to look over with his hands on the table, he saw Tang Ning raise his head and smiled: "There are six hundred and twenty-four monks. ”

"Hiss......" Shen Kuo was very surprised, this question is not so simple, it is not a special study of arithmetic, ordinary people can not calculate the correct answer: "Today, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, with thirty-five heads on it and ninety-four feet on it. ”

Tang Ning was happy, I don't know how many times I did this question when I was a child. If he changed the number, he could still ponder for a while, but now Shen Kuo didn't even change the number, and directly moved out the original question in "Sun Tzu's Sutra", blinked his eyes and said: "Twelve rabbits, twenty-three chickens." ”

"Dare to ask Tang Xiaoyou who he studied with?"

"Family teacher Xu Xiaoyao."

"Xu Xiaoyao? I haven't heard of it, but you have such a high attainment in arithmetic at a young age, and you must be an extraordinary person. Shen Kuo looked at Tang Ning and said with great emotion: "Today, the old man has been immersed in arithmetic for more than 30 years, and if it weren't for the long talk between the old man and Su Zirong a few years ago, the old man would not have figured out the answer to this day."

You are only a year old when you tie your hair, and you can solve the arithmetic problems that have plagued the old man for more than 30 years. ”

Su Zirong? It sounded familiar, but Downing couldn't remember who it was, so he left it behind.

The 320 years of the 18th Emperor of the Song Dynasty was an era of high prosperity in the economy, culture, education and scientific innovation in ancient Chinese history.

Wen Yanbo said: "Share the world with scholars." "Let the students of the world study hard.

Han Qi said: "Donghua's subordinates are good men." It broke the backbone of the warriors and brought the education of the Song Dynasty to its peak.

At this time, whether it is a person or a ghost, they all want to read and study, and they want their names to float under the Donghua Gate.

So this directly led to a social scene of pride in learning, coupled with the relaxed politics and good social atmosphere in the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty, there were many people who studied science like Shen Kuo.

Three of the four great inventions were perfected in the Song Dynasty, which is enough to explain a lot.

So some familiar and unfamiliar names popped out of Shen Kuo's mouth, Tang Ning was not curious, he knew that in the land of the Song Dynasty, there must be many scientists.

Shen Kuo was in a good mood, and until Shen Boyi came to pick him up, he was not willing to leave, but stayed and talked to Tang Ning about a lot of arithmetic.

"Those symbols, the old man has never seen them, if it is convenient, can you tell me what they are?" Shen Kuo asked cautiously, and Tang Ning solved the problem with a very fast speed, which surprised him very much.

If those symbols were useless, Shen Kuo would not believe it. But this thing involves a question of inheritance, although he doesn't attach too much importance to his knowledge and wants to share it with the people of the world, but the people of the world do not necessarily have the same idea as him.

Tang Ning didn't say it, so he couldn't blame it, after all, it was a family heirloom that his master left him. He snooped on other people's things like this, and Tang Ning beat him to death and had nowhere to sue him.

After being silent for a while, Tang Ning asked Liu Yier to take a pen and paper.

Although Liu Yier is still having trouble with Tang Ning, she still gives Tang Ning face in front of others. Obediently ran to get the pen and paper, and polished the ink.

Downing dipped his brush in ink and wrote down ten numbers from '1' to '0'. wrote four more symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then handed it to Shen Kuo and laughed softly.

Shen Kuo's old face turned red, he never expected Tang Ning to be so open-minded. The eldest son who frowned and looked curious said, "It's none of your business, you can go, the old man will go back by himself in a while." ”

Shen Boyi let out an oh and left. He is no longer at the age of doing these useless studies, his father asked someone to find him a position in the Xiuzhou Yamen a few days ago, and in a few days, he will go to work, and he will finally be able to live with his wife and children.

Liu Yi'er also wanted to leave sensibly, but Tang Ning turned around and said: "You don't have to go, family, it's okay to listen, this thing is very useful, maybe you will use it in the future." ”
