Yun Yanhui was a little excited, similar to knowing Bao Zheng's identity for the first time.
It is said that some people in Shen Kuo and Shen Cun may not remember who they are, but when it comes to "Mengxi Bi Tan", many people will suddenly realize that this book is called a milestone in the history of Chinese science.
"Mengxi Bi Tan" was written by Shen Kuo in his residence in Mengxi Garden in his later years. It includes his life's knowledge and understanding, and the content spans astronomy, physics, medicine, chemistry, painting and calligraphy, music, government and other fields.
For example, Bi Sheng and his movable type printing technique are recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan", which is the earliest reliable historical data about movable type printing technique.
- This also shows the force of the book "Mengxi Bi Tan".
Although the young version of Shen Kuo was in front of him, how could he know that he would not write Yun Yan back into the scroll in the future
Yun Yan returned to the excitement after seeing everyone's shocked expressions, so she patched up, "I've heard about Qiantang Shen's reputation a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see the Shen family today, so I'm a little excited."
Shen Kuo was instantly flattered, he thought he was a little transparent, who knew that the fame had spread to Bianjing
Shen Kuo hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I have long admired Yunlang. In fact, I have been paying attention to it since Kaifeng Lamp, and I also asked Shishu in Beijing to help me find out. Only then did I know the name of Yunlang. I've been paying attention. It's just that Yun Lang is a low-key person, and many things are unknown. I can see it today.
Most people don't know much about the origin of popular food, and they only gossip when they know it, but Shen Kuo is different, he likes to explore.
Shen Kuo has carefully studied the scented tea, Kaifeng lamps, photographic blue paper, etc., and he has been fascinated by their common advocates for a long time.
"It's natural!" Yun Yanhui happily agreed.
"Ah, I have to read this recipe first..." Shen Kuo looked at Xiaobao and said bluntly, "I almost forgot. My Shen family has a tradition of collecting prescriptions for generations, and I just told my little master, He promised to tell me the recipe, and I have to see the patient's medication to verify the prescription."
Yun Yan replied, "No problem, Brother Shen, let's go to work first."
Shen Kuo and Xiaobao went to test the prescription, leaving Yun Yanhui and Shuangyi standing in the courtyard.
Shuang Yi whispered: "Brother Yan, what Qiantang Shen, why haven't I heard of it?"
Although the Shen family is also an aristocratic family, it is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible for Shuangyi to have heard of it.
Yun Yan replied casually: "I tell you to read more, the Shen family has a lot of achievements in medicine."
"Really?" Shuang Yi questioned suspiciously, "I see this Shen Cunzhong's sick and wilted look."
Yunyan replied: "..."
"Don't look at him being sick, but he..." Not short-lived, doesn't this prove that their family's medical skills are really good? The second half of the sentence could not be said. Yun Yanhui only turned around, "I'm in good spirits, but I've lost a little weight, and I'm still young."
Shen Kuo was in his early twenties, and he was about the same age as Shuang Yi, and slightly bigger than Yun Yanhui.
Shuang Yi shrugged noncommittally.
Yun Yanhui took advantage of this time to take a look and ask him if he knew the young man who came from outside.
Clearly said that he didn't know him, but he seemed very sincere and eager to learn. Not only did he ask for a recipe, he also applied to see the murals in the temple.
Yun Yanhui couldn't hide his pride, and wanted to show off to others, but he couldn't explain it, he said, "Master, do you think he looks very promising in the future?"
After thinking for a while, "Are you going to marry Shuang Yi?"
"..." Yun Yan replied speechlessly, "Why do you think of this? It has nothing to do with Shuangyi, it's because I want to be friends with him, so I'll ask!"
Understand: "… "
Yunyan replied: "..."
Was it his delusion, feeling that what he said just now was weird
Understand: "... Oh, what about your friendship? It's not necessarily that he can't be friends because he doesn't have much success?"
"No, it's okay not to, but if there is, I'm very proud that I know such a person!" Yun Yan said with her chest raised.
Clearly said lightly: "I hope your words will not be heard by the officials."
Yunyan replied: "..."
I don't understand Yun Yanhui's excitement. If there is more success, can there be any success in the official family
Yun Yanhui was knocked down by a sentence, and she could only hold her heart and said, "You are right, I can't be so ignorant of the world anymore!"
Clearly closed his eyes slightly, and said a sentence before entering the meditation: "But this person does have a lot to do in the future, you can consider it."
consider? What are you thinking about
Yun Yanhui didn't understand yet, when he heard Xiaobao calling him outside, turned around and ran out.
Shen Kuo stood there holding a prescription in his hand and smiled shyly at Yun Yan.
"I also have a painter friend who is also looking at the murals. I heard from the master that you also want to see the murals. I'll take you to see them too. Stay for dinner tonight and I'll cook." Yunyan replied, " Let's chat at the dinner table."
Yun Yan's return was very well arranged, and Shen Kuo said very happily that he asked someone to send a letter to his father, and just listened to Yun Yan's return.
Yun Yan took Shen Kuo back to the palace that Yelu Yaolu was visiting. The two started chatting, and Yelu Yaolu found out that Shen Kuo also knew about painting, and they had a great conversation.
Shen Kuo was a little surprised that this person was from Liao, so he asked him if he came to do business.
"No, our study and exchange group from Daliao came to Song to learn the advanced experience of aquatic plants landscaping." Yelu said earnestly, and told Shen Kuo that the waterscape was going to hold a seminar.
Shen Kuo naturally knows this thing that is very popular recently. Although he doesn't support it himself, it is very popular in the officialdom now. His father is an official, so he also understands something, and Shen Kuo also understands a little bit about biology. In this way, he actually pointed to Yelu The reason for the exploding cylinder is coming.
Yelu nodded frequently when she heard this, thinking that this person also knew a lot about painting, and that Yun Yanhui just now said that he came to the temple to ask for his acquaintance, and said with admiration, "I have seen you, except for Brother Yan. The most learned Song people."
Yun Yanhui and Shen Kuo waved their hands at the same time, "No, no, I am far inferior to Yun Lang (Brother Shen)."
After they finished speaking, they realized that they had spoken in unison, and the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Shen Kuo and Yelu were supposed to concentrate on looking at the murals, but the plans couldn't keep up with the changes. As soon as they chatted, they found that they couldn't calm down at all, so they simply went home with Yunyan.
Yelu said, "By the way, Yanhui, can I go see your tortoise tomorrow? Is that the auspicious one?"
Auspicious? Xiang Rui was already killed by a butt, but Yun Yan replied, "Yes."
Yelu sighed: "I've wanted to see it for a long time, it's amazing, there is such a miraculous thing in the world."
Yun Yanhui glanced at Shen Kuo pursing his lips and smiling, and the two looked at each other. Yun Yanhui immediately knew that Shen Kuo might have discovered the mystery, so he blinked at him.
Shen Kuo also blinked, indicating that he knew, and the two of them tacitly understood.
…
How do you entertain a friend from afar
Of course it's hot pot!
Yun Yanhui brought the ingredients and pot and told them to eat hot pot. Shen Kuo was fascinated, and said that he was able to eat the authentic Bianjing Bian Xia offering.
After a while, Xiaobao and Shuangyi also came. Since Shuangyi was a woman and wanted to avoid suspicion, they moved a small table to eat alone. Xiaobao helped her to cook the food and hand it over.
Yunyan poured the wine back, and everyone drank and chatted.
Shen Kuo mentioned that he heard that Kaibao Temple in Bianjing was rebuilding the Inspiration Pagoda. The craftsman was going to build the tower to be inclined. He was a first-class carpenter and wanted to see it.
Xiaobao laughed, "My brother, the craftsman, knew that. When the tower was repaired, my brother also said that we should build a leaning tower, and Yu Duxuan also said that it coincides with his idea."
Shen Kuo was very pleasantly surprised, "Then please help me to recommend it. I heard that he wrote a "Wooden Classic", which explains the true meaning of carpenter craftsmanship. I really want to read it."
"Of course!" Yun Yan smiled back.
Shen Kuo: "It is said that last year, one of my fellow villagers, who invented movable type printing, was summoned to Beijing by the officials and made an offering..."
Everyone booed: "Know, know, and know! Do you want to meet?"
Shen Kuo nodded, "Think about it!"
Yun Yanhui thought it was very funny, "Brother Shen is really fascinated by so many people."
"Yeah," Shen Kuo said embarrassedly, "Thank you for being locals. By the way, do you still know Zheng Feibo from the Hanlin Painting Academy? His painting method is completely different from the popular painting method in the Hanlin Painting Academy today. It is a faction of its own, and it is good at capturing the style of the market.”
Everyone: →_→
Shen Kuo: "Why, how, do you know each other?"
Yelu smiled and said, "It's not just acquaintance! I know that Zheng Feibo is Yan Hui's cousin, and now the two of them have opened the water scene together."
Shen Kuo had been out of town before and was not so well-informed. At this time, he felt surprised and amused, "Why does Yun Lang know everyone I want to see."
- Not to mention, Yun Yanhui himself is also the person he wants to visit, and his master, Master Luran.
"By the way, I heard that Kaifeng Mansion has special wine. My father is a good wine man. Yun Lang works in Kaifeng Mansion, do you know how to get a few pots?" Shen Kuo said, drank another glass of wine, and asked with a red face. road.
Everyone: →_→
Yun Yan smiled back and patted the wine jar on the table, "How many pots you can get today depends on how much you drink. The rest of this jar will be packed back for you."
Shen Kuo looked at the wine, then looked at Yun Yanhui, and after a while, he realized that he was dumbfounded, "What I'm drinking now is the special brew from Kaifeng Mansion?"
Everyone nodded in unison, "Yes!"
Shen Kuo: "..."
Shen Kuo shook his head and woke up a little, "It seems that meeting Yun Lang today is probably the luckiest thing I've ever encountered in Beijing!"
Yun Yanhui has a confused feeling in a trance. He is worshiping the great god in history, but the great god is admiring him and his friends... Unconsciously, they are already creating history.
"It's amazing..." Yun Yanhui murmured in a low voice, refilling the wine, "Don't say so much, you won't go home if you don't get drunk today!"
The crowd responded with a bang, toasting and drinking together.
…
On the willow shoots on the moon, Shen Kuo, Xiaobao, and Yelu were utterly drunk, still howling: "Brother Yan! Drink! I don't believe you can't get drunk!"
Yun Yan also fluttered slightly when she returned, and when she walked outside the door, she saw a person on the steps, dozing off the railing, curled up into a ball.
Yun Yan walked back and patted the man on the shoulder, then said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I forgot about you..."
Liao envoys who come to Bianjing will be monitored. This person is the monitoring staff of Kaifeng House. No matter whether the object is suspected or not, they must always keep abreast of the movement.
The man wanted to cry without tears and said: "Brother Yan, next time, please say you want to spend the night outside earlier, okay? I want someone to change the shift! I'm going to be hoarse when I learn the cuckoo call outside, you! What? Ignore me!"
"... I'm excited to drink, I just thought of you," Yun Yan patted her head back, "I thought it was my hen that screamed!"
