"Alas! If I had known that these questions were the entrance examination questions for Yanhuang Academy of Medicine, I shouldn't have sold them so cheaply!"
In the side hall of Xuanhu Hall, Lin Zhichang looked at Changfeng's leaving figure and couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
Thinking back to the time when "Chen Wanying" came to him to ask for medical advice and claimed that a question cost five guan, he thought it was "blood money" at that time. After all, it was just lip service and he finally got 50 guan. But now that he thinks about it, , that was really a waste of money. After all, "Chen Wanying" only paid 50 yuan to buy an admission place at Yanhuang Academy Medical College!
Based on Yanhuang Academy's current reputation in the Tang Dynasty, if the answers to the admissions exam could be bought, let alone fifty guan, there would be people who would buy even 5,000 guan!
It's just that now that the matter has passed, Lin Zhichang knows that there is no use regretting it, but when he thinks of Tang Yuan who slipped away from his hands, his heart aches!
"I just don't know which big family Chen Wanying is, and she has such great powers that she obtained the admission test questions for Yanhuang Academy Medical College one day in advance. I heard that the Turkic Imperial Master sneaked into the academy and tried to steal the books but failed in the end. Well, could it be that the power behind Chen Wanying is even more terrifying than the Turkic Imperial Master?"
In addition to being heartbroken, Lin Zhichang couldn't help but become curious about the identity of Chen Wanying who came to Xuanhu Hall that day. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Wanying's identity was not simple. He felt as if he knew something shocking. It’s a secret, but he doesn’t dare to tell it because he’s afraid of being silenced!
After all, Lin Zhichang was the former court physician of the Sui Dynasty. He knew that those who were truly powerful would crush someone with no background like him to death as easily as crushing an ant to death!
But this old guy never expected that the so-called Chen Wanying had no background at all, let alone a member of a big family!
… … … … … … …
The person Lin Zhichang longed for was chatting with her sister Chen Shuoyu in the small rented courtyard. When she and her younger sister first arrived in Chang'an, they lived in the City God's Temple because they had no money at that time. Later, after Chen Shuozhen "cheated" one hundred guan from Li Tai, Chen Shuoyu rented an apartment in a village in Lantian County. The farmyard was used as a temporary shelter for their sisters in the capital!
"Sister! Should we get up early tomorrow morning and go to Yanhuang Academy to read the rankings?"
"Yes! What? Xiaoyu, are you going too?"
"Well! Of course I'm going! I want to see my sister pass the Yanhuang Academy with my own eyes!"
"Haha! If you want to go, then go! Just don't oversleep tomorrow, girl~!"
"I don't know how! Oh, by the way! Sister! You just washed all the clothes we bought before, so what should we wear to the academy tomorrow~?"
Chen Shuoyu pointed at several colorful dresses hanging in the yard, and then frowned at Chen Shuozhen.
Those clothes were clearly the high-quality dresses they had bought at a huge price in order to "get answers" from Lin Zhichang.
Chen Shuo really didn't even think about it and said, "What else can I wear? Just wear what we are wearing?"
"Ah? Just wear the clothes we are wearing now?"
When Chen Shuoyu heard this, he looked at the coarse linen clothes that he and Chen Shuozhen were wearing with numerous patches, like beggars, and was dumbfounded.
"What? Xiaoyu, you had a few days of good food and clothing, but now you can't live a hard life anymore~?"
Chen Shuozhen couldn't help but joked when he saw this.
"Sister! I...I didn't!"
Chen Shuoyu said quickly: "I just think that tomorrow is a great day for my sister to pass the Yanhuang Academy. We should dress better! My father and mother will definitely be very happy for you, sister, if they see it in heaven!"
Hearing Chen Shuoyu mention his deceased parents, Chen Shuoyu's heart softened, and he stepped forward to stroke the latter's head, and then whispered:
"Silly girl, getting admitted to Yanhuang Academy is just the beginning. We sisters will definitely live a better life in the future!"
After a pause, Chen Shuozhen smiled playfully and said, "It's just that we have stopped wearing those dresses we bought earlier. Are you, silly girl, afraid that the people in Xuanhutang won't recognize us~?"
"Xuanhutang? Sister, what do you mean by this? How can someone from Xuanhutang go to Yanhuang Academy~?"
Chen Shuoyu was puzzled.
Chen Shuozhen waved his hand and said: "How can there be so many reasons? In short, during this period of time, we can no longer wear those clothes to go out! Hou... Mr. Hou has helped us so much, we can't cause him any trouble!"
"Oh! Yes! Sister!"
Chen Shuoyu nodded as if understanding, and then responded.
… … … … … …
On the other side, after Li Zexuan brought Xiao Yu'er to the workshop, Li Yu went directly to the editorial office of "Datang Daily", while Li Zexuan went to the scientific research base of the "Killer Project" deep in the workshop.
You can see the busy figures of teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy everywhere inside. They are all teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy who have been selected and are extremely proficient in arithmetic, physics, and chemistry. Everyone else in the academy is on summer vacation at this time. And they took advantage of the summer vacation to devote all their body and soul to the scientific research of the academy's "killer project"!
"Chief, you are here~!"
After passing through two courtyards, Li Zexuan met a student head-on, and this student looked very familiar.
"Li Yan? Didn't you go back during the summer vacation too~?"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses.
That's right, the student in front of me is officially Li Chunfeng's son Li Yan. This child was ranked among the top five in the Yanhuang Academy's admissions exam last year!
Of course, not only in the admissions exam, but also in the usual mid-term and final exams in the academy, this child also ranks among the best. Unlike Tiedan, who is partial to subjects, this child has excellent results in Confucian classics, arithmetic, physics, chemistry, and geography. Comprehensive and balanced development!
At this time, Li Yan replied with a smile: "Zhang Huishan, the student's family lives in Chang'an. You can go back anytime you want, but the student feels that it is more meaningful to contribute to the academy's "killer project" in the workshop than to go home! Besides, the student feels that it is more meaningful to contribute to the academy's "killer project" in the workshop than to go home! , my father lives in the academy now, it doesn’t make any difference whether he comes home or not!”
"Haha! You kid!"
Li Zexuan smiled happily, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "Oh, by the way, what has your father been busy with lately~?"
Li Yan thought for a while and replied: "I don't know the specific student, but my father seems to be very confused recently..."
At this point, Li Yan hesitated to speak.
Li Zexuan asked strangely: "Confused? Daozhang Li is a scholar of heaven and earth, so he will also be confused sometimes~?"
Li Yan cupped his hands and said: "The mountain chief is overrated! In fact, in recent months, my father has been sorting out the orbits of other planets near the earth through the astronomical telescope in the academy. He found that the movements of these stars follow certain rules. But he has not completely found out what the specific laws are. In addition, are these laws necessarily related to the way of heaven recorded in Taoist classics? My father has always been confused! "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan suddenly understood. He secretly thought that Li Chunfeng had finally walked into that "alley". Science and metaphysics were finally going to collide!
"Haha! It seems that Daozhang Li has gained a lot in the past six months!"
Li Zexuan came back to his senses, patted Li Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your father just got into a dead end temporarily, but when he really understands these problems, he will definitely become the leader for thousands of years." , the well-deserved number one person in the Taoist sect!”
Li Zexuan could not provide any substantial help to Li Chunfeng's confusion, because no one could tell whether science and metaphysics were completely mutually exclusive, or whether there was me in you and you in me, especially since he inexplicably came from modern times. After society traveled to the Tang Dynasty, this became even more unclear!
Maybe the end of science really is metaphysics
This issue can only be left to Li Chunfeng to explore on his own!
"Where's Qingque?"
Suddenly, Li Zexuan remembered the purpose of coming here today, so he asked.
Li Yan was still in shock because of what Li Zexuan had just said. After hearing this, he subconsciously pointed to a courtyard deeper to the north and said, "Chief Huishan, Qingque should still be doing experiments there!"
"Okay! Then go and get busy!"
Li Zexuan patted the latter's shoulder, turned and walked towards the villa.
… … … … … …
"Hey, hey, hey! Test! Test!"
As soon as he walked to the door of the other courtyard, Li Zexuan heard the voice of the little fat man next to him. He was slightly shocked because there was no one around him at the moment!
But as a modern man, how could Li Zexuan be frightened by this? He quickly found the source of the sound - a square wooden box hung on the wall in front of the courtyard door, with many densely packed small round holes on it!
"Is this...a speaker?"
Li Zexuan was surprised. It was obvious that this was a sound transmission device. Li Tai used wires to transmit sound from inside the yard to outside the yard.
"Qingque, you can hear it outside! And you can hear it very clearly!"
From inside the courtyard door, someone shouted into the house.
"Is it Sun Zifan?"
Li Zexuan quickly stepped into the courtyard gate and saw Sun Zifan with his back turned to him and facing the house inside.
"What are you doing~?"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but asked.
"Ah! Chief Shan, are you here~?"
Sun Zifan turned around and saw that it was Li Zexuan, and he greeted him enthusiastically. He smiled and said: "Chief, Qingque wants to make a set of microphones for the academy before going to Taiyuan. Now we are doing experiments in the workshop. !”
"Mickey? What is it~?"
Li Zexuan frowned. At this moment, Qin Huaiyu ran in from the outside panting, and then said loudly: "Zifan, tell Qingque quickly, you can hear it from the outer door!"
