Chapter 137: Two Children's Debate
Huang Chengyan asked in surprise, "What?" Are you going to the governor's office? ”
Cai Yue sighed and said, "In order to be reinstated, De Jue gave the little sister to Liu Xin, and more than two months have passed, but there has been no movement at all. I couldn't rest assured, I wanted to go over to see her, and by the way, ask her how things were going. ”
Huang Chengyan was even more surprised, and said, "De Jue gave the little sister to Liu Xin!" I have heard that Liu Xin is lustful, how can De Jue push the little sister into the fire pit! No, I can't let you fall into it anymore, you can't go! ”
Cai Yue pushed him hard and said, "What nonsense, how old am I, and the idea that the state pastor will beat me?" It's just that hearing you say this, I'm even more worried, my little sister is too young, she is alone in the state pastor's mansion, and I don't know what it looks like to be ruined by Liu Xin, alas, she is just a child! Besides, if you don't have an idea, you can't just watch the Cai family sink. ”
Huang Chengyan was robbed by her, and said curtly: "How could De Jue remember to give the little sister to Liu Xin, it's really incomprehensible." ”
Cai Yue sighed: "I don't know where Liu Xin heard that the little sister is beautiful, as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, he asked De Jue about the little sister." ”
Huang Chengyan suddenly became proud and said: "You usually say why do I make a clown like this, if my little sister also pretended to be like this, can there still be these things?" ”
Cai Yue pinched him angrily and said, "When is it, you are still gloating!" ”
Huang Chengyan grinned, endured the pain and said: "Actually, the matter is not so serious, I think Liu Xin has no intention of giving up Deju." ”
Cai Yue turned his head, looked at him with an angry face, and said, "Didn't you just say in the afternoon that Deju's situation is not good?" Why did you change your mouth all of a sudden! ”
Huang Chengyan said in a snort: "I, didn't I look away for a while." ”
The next morning, Liu Xin rushed back to the state pastor's mansion in a hurry, and he had a good news that he couldn't wait to tell Ma Yun.
With the memories of Liu Xin and Ma Yun from later generations, it should be very easy to produce stirrups that are not very high-tech items, but the difficulty lies in how to install stirrups into the saddle. The craftsmen have thought of many methods, but they are either easy to fall off or difficult to control. After unremitting efforts, a solution was found today, which was to use a long wooden handle, covered with copper skin, to connect the stirrups to the saddle. In Liu Xin's words, it was in this way that stirrups and saddles were finally able to be organically combined.
Liu Xin got the news and personally got on the horse for a test ride, feeling very satisfied. With the stirrup as a sharp weapon, from now on, the establishment of a powerful cavalry force in Jingzhou is no longer just a dream. Such good news is naturally to be shared with Ma Yun. Liu Xin hurriedly came to the academy, but was told that Ma Yun had left after the lecture. Liu Xin knew that she must have hurried back to breastfeed Ma Fan, so she also hurried back to the state pastor's mansion, which really made him too excited.
As soon as he entered the mansion, before he could speak, Ma Yun had already preemptively said: "Husband, you came back just in time, someone from Cai Jue's family came." ”
Liu Xin was even happier and said: "Today is really a good day, happy events one after another, just for them to bring Cai Jue back, which saves a lot of trouble." ”
Ma Yun shook her head helplessly and said, "It's so easy, it's her sister and aunt and niece who came, just to see her." ”
Liu Xin couldn't wait, and said repeatedly: "Let's go, as long as it's someone from their family, it's always an opportunity, let's take a look first." ”
Cai Yue's mother and daughter came to visit Cai Jue, and Cai Jue is now Cai Yan's godsister, and the task of receiving them was naturally handed over to Cai Yan. Liu Xin and Ma Yun also came to the small courtyard, but they didn't expect that the courtyard was already very lively. Not only were they here, but Bian Yu and Zhu Qian heard that Cai Jue's family was coming, so they thought they were going to take her home, so they all ran over and prepared to see her off, and brought Liu Yu and Liu Rui over as well. At this time, Liu Yu had already played with the little girl of the Huang family, Ah Ugly, and was still arguing about something.
Liu Yu is also four years old this year, Liu Xin and Ma Yun are busy, and they rarely take him out, and there are no children of about the same age in the house. In the past, he used to play with Liu Rui's buttocks, but now that Liu Rui is a year older, where is there any interest in playing with him, at most, he will bluff and tease him. And the little girl of the Huang family is also four years old this year, although she looks a little ugly, there is not much difference between beauty and ugliness in the eyes of children. The two children are the same age, but they played together.
Cai Yue is most concerned about Cai Jue's situation and Liu Xin's attitude towards Cai Mao, it is not easy to ask in detail when she sees so many people, so she has to have a family affair with Cai Yan and Bian Yu. Liu Rui snuggled up to her mother and listened quietly, one year old and one year old, and now Liu Rui already has a little bit of a beautiful appearance. No one noticed why the two little children were arguing.
It turned out that Huang Chengyan was very fond of his daughter and taught her to read since she was a child. This little girl is really smart, she already knows a lot of words when she was two years old, and she has read a lot of books by now. Liu Yu is relatively tall, so he asked Ah Chou to call him his brother, and Ah Chou is conceited and talented, and he doesn't look down on children of the same age, so he must call Liu Yu his sister.
Liu Yu tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "Let's compare whose strength is greater, if your strength is greater than mine, I will call you sister." ”
Ah Chou stretched out a little finger, scraped it on his nose, and said: "Compared with girls, I am not ashamed, I am not ashamed." ”
Liu Yu patted his chest and said, "Then what do you say?" ”
Ah Chou rolled his eyes and said, "I'll ask you a question, and if you answer correctly, I'll call you brother." ”
Liu Yu said without hesitation: "Okay, you ask." ”
Ah Chou was overjoyed in his heart, put his hands behind his back, put on an old pedantic look, and said: "Listen, let me ask you, is the sun close to us when it just rises, or near us at noon?" ”
Liu Xin just noticed that the two children were arguing, and was about to separate them, but when she heard Ah Chou ask this question, she couldn't help but be taken aback, isn't this the two children arguing? This kind of question can't even be answered by Confucius, where can Liu Yu answer it? Liu Xin was immediately impressed by this ugly little girl, and couldn't help but look this little girl up and down. After just one glance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Bian Yu has also read a lot of books, and she also knows the allusions of the two children's arguments, although this is just a joke between children, she still sweats for Liu Yu. When Ma Yun and Cai Yan heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, looked at Liu Yu together, and nodded at him encouragingly.
Liu Yu got the support of the two of them, and really shook his head and said: "On the same day, we are all at the same distance from the sun, only in summer will we be closer to the sun, and in winter we will remember that the sun is farther away." ”
The ugly little hand pointed to the sky and said, "Then let me ask you, it's almost noon now, the sun is like a disk, and the sun you see in the morning is as big as a wheel, shouldn't the sun be bigger in the morning and closer to us?" ”
Liu Yu said without thinking: "That's because when you look at it in the morning, there are big trees and houses in front of the sun, so it looks bigger, and at noon, the sun is behind the vast sky, so it looks smaller." It's just that it feels different, but in fact, the sun is always the same size. ”
Ah Chou thought for a while, but didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked again: "Then you say, why is the sun shining on your body hotter now than the sun shining on your body in the morning?" Is it the noon sun that is closer to us. ”
Liu Yu said proudly: "It was noon, and the sun was shining directly, so it felt hotter." Forget it, you don't understand it anyway, hurry up and call my brother. ”
In fact, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is different in the morning, evening, and noon on the same day, but the distance between the Earth and the Sun is so far away that this small change is almost negligible.
Actually, Liu Yu doesn't really understand these complex knowledge, it was some time ago, Cai Yan came to ask Ma Yun for advice, and also asked about the two children's arguments, and it happened that Liu Yu heard it next to him. Liu Yu already had a strong desire for knowledge at this time, and after hearing Ma Yun's explanation to Cai Yan, he didn't quite understand, pestered Ma Yun, and asked her to talk again. Even so, Liu Yu still didn't understand, but he had an excellent memory, and he actually memorized these words vividly.
There are also many other knowledge involved in this, which must first be based on "saying the heart", so Cai Yan can understand it. Liu Yu is too young after all, although he has heard Ma Yun say that the earth revolves around the sun since he was a child, it is still a little difficult to understand this knowledge. As for Ah Chou, he is still in the stage of "geocentric theory", and he will not understand these truths, so he thought about it sideways for a long time, and said: "I don't know if you are right, wait until I go back and ask my father." ”
Everyone laughed when they saw her serious look.
At this moment when the two children were arguing, Liu Xin had quietly pulled Cai Yan aside, asked Cai Yue's mother and daughter about their intentions, and told Cai Yan to talk to them later, and see if they could bring Cai Jue back.
Cai Yue had been very nervous just now, but now that she saw that her daughter and Liu Yu were not arguing, they were just arguing about these things, and she was relieved, only to find that Liu Xin and Ma Yun had come over, and hurriedly said a thousand blessings, and said, "The women have seen adults." The little girl has no form, please forgive me. ”
Liu Xin waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to be polite, and said: "It's always inevitable for children to bump and bump together, not to mention that they just have different opinions about things, so it's not a big deal." The little girl is very clever, I look very pleasing to the eye, what's her name? ”
Cai Yue leaned over and said: "The little girl Huang Shuo, nicknamed Yueying, because she was born ugly, my clumsy husband and I both call her ugly." ”
Liu Xin and Ma Yun glanced at each other and called out in unison: "Her name is Huang Yueying?!" ”
