Back in the small courtyard of the nursery hall, Zhou Yuan's excitement and fanatical mood for a whole day calmed down a little.He looked at his hands again and again, still a little unable to believe that he had used them during the day to make matches that were very easy to ignite, and the fireworks that were fleeting but very brilliant.Compared to today, the things he used to make up can only be regarded as a small fight at best.Thinking like this, he couldn't help but think of Wei Xi, who really made these two things.A flash of contemplation and doubt flashed in his eyes, "Who is this second miss of the Wei family?"
”Who he is, Wei Xi himself can't tell clearly.So when she went to the nursery again a few days later, when she heard Zhou Yuan ask her like this, Wei Xi thought about it and replied, "Probably, if you want to do it, you can do it." ”Zhou Yuan: "This answer is really capricious.But if people themselves don't have the corresponding ability, ordinary people don't dare to answer like this.Zhou Yuan was convinced."
Do you want to go to the house today?"
Facing the expectant gaze in front of him, Wei Xi slowly shook his head, "No, I'm not going." ”Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly became more disappointed, "Why don't you go again?"
”Wei Xi paused before saying, "The saltpeter powder has been confiscated." ”Zhou Yuan: "Although Fu Yuheng gave Wei Xi a lot of freedom, he didn't let Wei Xi mess around.When it comes to something that will be dangerous, it will not give in.After knowing that Wei Xi was actually playing with saltpeter powder, he didn't care what the use of this thing was, and moved away.Then I told Wei Xi.And Wei Xi decisively confessed after facing her mother's rare serious expression.Zhou Yuan also thought of who would be able to confiscate the saltpeter powder, and followed."
There's something else we can do, though."
Zhou Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, "What to do?"
”Soon, he knew.Wei Xi first took Zhou Yuan to the Zhixing Academy, and finally stopped in front of a wooden building."
Gewu?"
Zhou Yuan looked at the two big characters carved on the wall of the wooden building, and was a little puzzled.Wei Xi raised his feet and walked over, stretched out his hand and touched the two big characters, "This wooden building was the first I kept, I thought his master was the most difficult to find." ”She said and glanced at Zhou Yuan, who was following her, and continued in the other party's unexplained gaze, "Ge, study also, things, that is, all things in the world, are connected together, which means to study all things in the world." ”"Study everything in the world?"
Zhou Yuan muttered a repeat, his fingertips trembling inexplicably."
Everything has its own changes and laws," Wei Xi said, reaching out and pushing open the closed door and walking in, "Discover the law and grasp the changes in it, just as we can use saltpeter powder to make fireworks, matches, and can also use it to delay the spoilage of food, because we have discovered its potential effect and used it."
Farmers can also take advantage of the four seasons of heaven and earth, sowing seeds in spring and harvesting in autumn, looking at the sky to measure the weather and rain, and looking at the ground to know drought and flood.Craftsmen use iron, copper, wood, and earth to make what they want, weapons, tools, houses.Everything in the heavens and the earth has its own role, it only depends on whether we have the ability to discover and master it and use it for us. ”Standing in the somewhat empty hall, Zhou Yuan didn't have the heart to look around, and all that echoed in his mind were Wei Xi's words.After a long time, he said in a somewhat difficult voice: "But except for saltpeter powder, isn't everyone else knowing?"
”Back then, his father accused him of being blind and not doing his job, and his words were still in his ears.Eight words.Sideways, turning their backs on the right path.But he doesn't like the right path, but he likes to mess around.It was also because of his own foolishness that he took Zhou Ting and Zhou Tong to escape from the siege with difficulty, and even fled all the way to Yuezhou, which is thousands of miles away from Shangjing.And his relatives, who only read the books of sages, left their lives in the Zhou family's mansion.Why do you say that it's useless to mess around!
But he could no longer find anyone to refute these words.Now a man said to him that what he was doing was not foolishness, but of studying things, and that he was studying all things in the world, and that it was not useless, but useful.is really useful."
Miss Wei Er, I want to stay alone for a while."
Wei Xi noticed that Zhou Yuan's mood was a little depressed at this moment, so he opened the door of one of the rooms and made a gesture of please, "Please." ”Zhou Yuan didn't look at what was in the room, and walked in with his head down.Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, he raised his eyes and looked around a little carelessly.Then, his footsteps froze.As far as the eye can see, there is a candle covered with a glass lampshade in the four corners of the room, and some glass is also pasted on the wall.At the moment, the doors and windows of the room were closed, but the candles at the four corners alone illuminated the whole room, which was obviously not the light that four candles alone could achieve.Zhou Yuan studied it for a while before he figured out the purpose of the glass on the wall.After researching the source of the light in the room, Zhou Yuan saw a row of long tables in the center of the room, separated by a whole piece of glass, on which some iron shelves were placed, and a number of utensils were hung or placed on the shelves.Some were arm-length, some were the size of a man's finger, and some were the same as he had seen in the house on the outskirts of the city, but many more had never seen before.But if these things can be put together, it naturally means that they have similar uses.Zhou Yuan's fingers brushed over a round-bellied glass bottle, and the corner of his eye swept to a row of cabinets against the wall.The cabinet was divided into two parts, the upper and lower cabinet doors were closed, Zhou Yuan did not open it rashly, but only pulled out one of the books placed on the bookshelf above the cabinet.There is no name on the cover of the book, only a six-character letter, and it is not hemp rope that is used to bind it, but something like wire.After opening it, he saw that the font inside was exactly the same as that of the Zhixing School on the plaque at the gate, and Zhou Yuan digested it for a while, and then went to see the content inside.Soon he sadly discovered that he knew every word in it, but when put together, he couldn't understand it directly.After turning a few more pages, he gave up, put the book back, and found the one marked on the cover.Turning the first page, it reads: "The world is in our eyes, but in our eyes, there can be a more wonderful world." ”Although the font on it is a little unbearable to look at, I have to say that this sentence is really attractive to a curious person like him.Zhou Yuan read this sentence back and forth twice, and then opened the second page.The knock on the door sounded rhythmically, waking up Zhou Yuan, who was already completely addicted to the book.He looked away with extreme reluctance, his thoughts slowly returned, and when he saw that he had already turned almost half of the book, coupled with his legs, which felt a little stiff, his face suddenly changed.The door was slammed open from the inside, and Wei Xi raised his eyes.I saw Zhou Yuan looking apologetic."
Miss Wei Er, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.""
It didn't take long."
Wei Xi waved her hand, as early as waiting for a tea time to find that there was no movement in the room, she guessed that this person probably turned over the books she put on the cabinet, so she went back to the small courtyard at the back of the building very wisely, drank a cup of tea and ate some snacks and came back.Wei Xi glanced at the other party's hand holding the door frame, "Sore legs?"
”Zhou Yuan nodded, "A little." ”Wei Xi pointed to the chair placed aside, "Sit down." ”Zhou Yuan nodded, and the two sat down face to face.After a moment of silence, Zhou Yuan glanced at the room behind him, and couldn't help but speak: "Miss Wei Er, those books on the cabinet in the room just now" "I wrote it." ”Zhou Yuan: "Rao has been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he heard it with his own ears at this moment, the shock was still beyond words."
Miss Wei Er, is everything in the book true?"
Wei Xi tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair and asked, "Don't believe it?"
”"That's not it," Zhou Yuan shook his head hurriedly, "I just think it's a little unbelievable." ”"When you can do what the book says, it won't be weird."
Wei Xi understood Zhou Yuan's suspicions at the moment, after all, what she wrote in the book was indeed whimsical and unbelievable for people who had never been exposed to the cognition in it, "So, did Daoist Zhou guess the purpose of me bringing you to this Gewu Building?"
”Zhou Yuan moved his lips, and then nodded lightly.To say that he only had a vague guess at the beginning, but now that the person on the other side has asked directly, he naturally understands.Although this Zhixing Academy is only the first time he has entered today, he can't bear the fact that Zhou Ting and Zhou Tong are now studying in the school, and he naturally knows from the mouths of these two little guys that this Zhixing School can be called a peculiar teaching method.It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Dayong, the Zhixing School can be called unique.In this school, except for the middle building, there is a gentleman in every building.Miss Wei Er brought him to this grid building, naturally not for no reason."
But Miss Wei Er, you are the most suitable owner of this Gewu Building, why" Wei Xi didn't wait for him to finish asking, and simply said his reason neatly, "Because I'm lazy." ”Zhou Yuan: "He wanted to nod his head and agree at the moment, but it would be fine if he didn't care, "Miss Wei Er, please forgive me for not agreeing." ”This sentence Zhou Yuan said that it was extremely difficult.He had vaguely touched the threshold of another world from the book he had just read, but what he was doing now was to close the door and push it open again.If you want to talk about how he feels at the moment, he will feel like his heart is dripping blood.Wei Xi was not surprised that Zhou Yuan would refuse, and only asked him, "Then what do you think you can do now?"
”"Now, I" was halfway through, and Zhou Yuan couldn't help but get stuck.He can't do anything now, and he is so weak that he can only hide in this Hengdu City and ask for shelter."
Since you can't do anything," Wei Xi looked at his obscure expression and raised his eyebrows, "Then do what you can do now."
Who knows what you can do now will become your confidence and bargaining chip one day in the future?
