Su Song didn't know much about Tang Ning, and Shen Kuo wasn't bored enough to tell Su Song that Tang Ning was very unconcerned about this matter.

It didn't sound like a serious speech, but Tang Ning's expression was very serious, and Su Song couldn't be sure whether Tang Ning understood or didn't understand for a while.

But whether Tang Ning understands it or not, this is not the most important question. I came this time to ask Tang Ning to help calculate whether there would be any problems with the operation of this water transport instrument elephant platform.

Although Guozijian and Si Tianjian also have many people who are proficient in arithmetic, but the old friend Shen Kuo, Shen Mengxi, who is a little poor in character but meticulous in academics, praises Tang Ning so much, Su Song also thought of coming to Tang Ning for a favor.

At the same time, he himself is also very interested in arithmetic, and seeing the calculation methods of others is also one of his interests.

After explaining the intention, he disassembled the small water transport armillary instrument and explained the purpose to Zhou Huai and Tang Ning.

The second monk Zhou Huaizhang was confused, he was a little difficult to understand.

But Downing understood it immediately after seeing the small escapement. This water transport armillary sphere is actually a clock.

Although it is still a little primitive, the overall function and principle are not much different from the clocks of later generations.

Tang Ning looked at Su Song and said with admiration: "This thing is really ingenious, Master Su's whimsical ideas make the younger generations amazed." ”

Su Song said happily: "Now that you have figured it out, let's hurry up and calculate it!" The old man will go to Si Tianjian in the afternoon to check the progress, and after the calculation is completed, it is time to present this thing to the official family for inspection. ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "Thanks to Lord Su's love, the juniors are really powerless about this matter, so Lord Su should find another master." ”

"Why?" Su Song was not dissatisfied, but very puzzled.

As I said before, Guozijian and Si Tianjian don't have people who can make calculations, even if they don't, isn't there still a sentence that there are three stinkers, Zhuge Liang?

It's not impossible to form a team to do the calculations together.

The reason why this opportunity was given to Tang Ning was because Shen Kuo's letter made Tang Ning boast so much that Su Song had the idea of taking the school examination. On the other hand, it was also the official family that hinted that Tang Ning would show his face more on such a major event.

The water transport armillary sphere is destined to be a milestone product of the Great Song Dynasty and even the world, and those who can participate in the production are indispensable.

The official family attaches great importance to Tang Ning, so when he saw Su Song who came to play a few days ago, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that Tang Ning's arithmetic is very powerful. Although Su Song is a scientist, he is also a prime minister. The old fritters are like human spirits, where do you not understand the meaning of this sentence?

But Tang Ning's abandonment of this low-hanging glory really surprised Su Song.

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Although the younger generation knows a little bit about arithmetic, the calculation of the water transport armillary instrument does not involve it

It's just arithmetic.

The younger generation doesn't know anything about other related knowledge. So this kind of thing, Master Su should find a more suitable person to do it, the younger generation is still a little self-aware, and he really doesn't dare to take on this task. ”

Su Song looked at Tang Ning with a smile and said, "You are right, there are many people who are more suitable for this task than you, and there are many of them in Si Tianjian and Guozijian."

But do you know why the old man is looking for you?

Boy, one last chance, it's too late to regret now. ”

Tang Ning shook his head again and said, "Master Su, you can spare the juniors." In case something happens, the juniors can't afford to pay this responsibility. And the matter of Zhenjiang Army alone has already given the juniors a headache, Lord Su, forgive the juniors for all difficulties. ”

Su Song smiled and didn't say much. Put this small model of the water transportation armillary instrument back in the box and put it away, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Don't blame the old man when I think about it in the future." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "How can it be, this is a choice made by the juniors themselves, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Su Song nodded and said, "The son can be taught." After that, he talked to Zhou Huai, who was finally able to interject.

The two chatted until noon, and Tang Ning was always on the side. Lunch was also eaten in Zhou's mansion, but it was not cooked by Tang Ning himself.

Su Song is old and has a large amount of food. The bowl of Zhou's meal is the size of two fists, and Tang Ning can eat one and a half bowls after eating it in one meal.

And Su Song ate two bowls directly, and also ate a steamed bun. looked at Tang Ning, and said with great disdain that Tang Ning couldn't even eat as an old man like him, which made Tang Ning very embarrassed.

After lunch, Su Song and Zhou Huai sat in the courtyard for a while in the sun, and played a game of chess before leaving. Before leaving, Su Song glanced at Tang Ning meaningfully and said, "Do you regret it?" If you want to regret it, it's still too late before the old man goes out of the door. ”

Tang Ning cried and laughed: "Forget it, Master Su." Even if the official family personally handed over this task to the juniors, the juniors could only go to others for help. ”

Su Song nodded and said no more. After saying goodbye to Zhou Huai, he got into the carriage waiting outside the door and went straight to Si Tianjian.

Zhou Huai watched the carriage go away, sighed and said, "Apprentice, you missed a good opportunity." ”

Tang Ning pinched the orchid and gestured: "How can I be a master, I won't take anything that doesn't belong to me, I can't climb a mountain that doesn't belong to me, I won't take a job that doesn't belong to me, give me giaogiao!" ”

“……”

The Qin family is going out today, and she is going to visit the wife of the Tobe Shangshu on behalf of her husband. Therefore, Qi Xianyu has nothing to do, so he is very bored. But she can also find some things by herself, such as learning embroidery from the Qin family in the past two days, and now she is making small clothes for her future children.

Tang Ning was reading a book in the study with Erlang's legs crossed, and Qi Xianyu was sewing clothes on the side

Obey, and hum in her mouth that Tang Ning sang to her a few days ago to love you more every day.

Sunlight poured into the room through the open windows, and the warmth of Tokyo city in April was tinged with a hint of coolness. With such good weather, Downing didn't want to nest in the house.

Finding a bookmark from the desk and clipping it on the book, Tang Ning turned back to Qi Xianyu and said, "Sister Yu, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Qi Xianyu's humming voice stopped, looked up at Tang Ning, reached out and stroked the hair on his forehead and said, "I don't care, are you okay?" ”

Tang Ning patted his chest and got up and said, "It's just a little flesh wound, it's nothing." ”

"That's not what I meant, there seem to be a lot of people in Tokyo who are trying their best to clean you up. You just go out like this, are you okay? ”

Tang Ning smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, there are people around me to protect me now." ”

"Cut, it's the same as the truth, when did you have no one around you? Before the incident, Lin Wei and Ah Fu were by your side every inch, and that Fang Yong, who was a little worse in Tokyo City, didn't he still run behind your ass when he didn't return to Tokyo City?

So what? It's not like I almost lost my life. Qi Xianyu became angry when he saw Tang Ning's big grin.

Tang Ning scratched his head and said, "You're right, but that wasn't an emergency." Ah Fu and Brother Lin, one of them is sleeping and the other is eating, not to mention who would have thought that someone would play a fake holy decree in Tokyo City under the nose of the official family?

This is too bold for ordinary people to do.

So it wasn't just an unexpected situation or a special situation, and the chances of me being able to encounter it twice in a row were very slim. And now in addition to Brother Lin and Ah Fu, there are people secretly protecting me, so don't worry. ”

"Really? Who is it? Qi Xianyu asked curiously.

"Hey, the people of the Martial Division."

"Wu Desi?" Qi Xianyu was surprised and said, "They will actually protect you?" Don't they have to do things? ”

Tang Ning explained with a smile: "In fact, they are in trouble with the mastermind behind the investigation, and the clues are broken, and I can't find out who wants to harm me." And because there were people in the palace that day, Wu Desi must have wanted to find out the real culprit.

Therefore, Liu Gongshi told me about this and sent someone to protect me secretly. If they make another move, they will be able to catch each other's big and small fish by then. ”

Qi Xianyu nodded, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, you went out today to be bait?" ”

"You can't say that, it's not sure that the fish won't be hooked...... Well, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"The old lady won't go, you will suffer yourself, don't bother the old lady."
