Chapter 101 A one-year appointment
Chapter 101
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Wuchang Zhou Mengshi, who is knowledgeable about astronomy and skilled in the law of walking in the sky, can make up for the shortcomings of the country. If he is summoned, it is because his mother has no place to raise her. He is a filial son. Now he has appointed Zhou Mother as a fourth-rank respectful person, and ordered the minister to be well-off. He hopes that the officer will be transferred to the filial son of the family, and will become a minister of the country. He will be summoned to the capital and listen to him in front of the imperial court. He will not refuse and the imperial order."
Among the incense and candle, Zhou Mengchen could only kowtow respectfully and said: "My memory, Zhou Mengchen, received the order."
Zhou Mengchen took the imperial edict from Tengxiang.
He thought to himself: "I miscalculated."
Zhou Mengchen felt that even if Jiajing issued an edict again to summon him, he should wait for a while. Within this period, Zhou Mengchen just completed the marriage.
But I never expected that Jiajing's emphasis on celestial phenomena, or that Jiajing's superstition was far beyond Zhou Mengchen's expectations. As this deep superstitionist, he was extremely sensitive to every movement and stillness of the ghosts and gods in the world.
Zhou Mengchen's plan could only be disrupted.
Tengxiang whispered: "Mr. Zhou, don't make things difficult for the young ones. Eunuch Huang said that he would take you back to the capital no matter what. Please forgive me."
Eunuchs are the best at watching people's discs.
Tengxiang's attitude towards Zhou Mengchen was different from before, because Beijing's attitude towards Zhou Mengchen was different.
Zhou Mengchen said: "I know, it's just that my father-in-law can give me a few days to handle some chores."
Teng Xiang said: "Of course this is OK. It just can't last more than three days."
It takes at least ten days to travel to Beijing, which takes a long time, one or two months, or even longer. So three days more and three days less is nothing.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Okay, three days are only three days."
Zhou Mengchen went to the Li family first and told Li Guozhen everything about it. Zhou Mengchen saluted Li Guozhen heavily and said, "Brother, this is my fault. My marriage with Yunzhen may be delayed for a while."
Li Guozhen helped Zhou Mengchen up and said, "This matter----" only says two words, so I won't say it.
Li Guozhen was very worried about this matter.
I am worried that Zhou Mengchen will have a future that is uncertain, after all, being with the king is like a tiger. Is this a good thing in front of the emperor? It may not be. Once something happens to Zhou Mengchen, Li Yunzhen will be implicated.
He was also worried that Zhou Mengchen would become a favorite minister in front of the imperial court. There would be a huge gap between the two parties. What should I do if Zhou Mengchen turned around and refused to admit it? In this case, Li Yunzhen would not have to be a human being.
Zhou Mengchen seemed to see Li Guozhen's concerns and said, "Please rest assured, my marriage with Yunzhen is witnessed by King Wugang, Governor Che, Marquis Fengcheng, and so many people in the entire Wuchang City. No matter what happens, my marriage with Yunzhen will remain unchanged. Otherwise, I would not have the face to return to Wuchang City at all."
"It's just that the Holy Order is hard to violate."
Li Guozhen sighed. He thought about it carefully and believed Zhou Mengchen's words. No matter how well a person develops, he must maintain his reputation in his hometown. In ancient times, he always had to keep a good reputation in his hometown. I think Zhou Mengchen was no exception and said, "It's a pity that it's too late to do anything in three days." Zhou Mengchen said, "Brother, I want to meet Yunzhen."
When Li Guozhen heard this, she suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to do, I will lose my companion for a while."
Li Guozhen actually got up and left.
Zhou Mengchen didn't understand what it meant, but saw a curtain lifting behind him and coming out alone, not someone else, not someone else, it was Li Yunzhen.
It turns out that Zhou Mengchen could not meet Li Yunzhen every time he came to the Li family, but it does not mean that Li Yunzhen did not see him. Li Yunzhen was silently peeking behind the curtain.
Zhou Mengchen said: "I------"
Li Yunzhen said: "I know everything. A good man is determined to be in all directions. Your Majesty summoned him. You have refused once. You can't refuse again. No matter what happens, I will wait for you here. You don't have to worry about the affairs at home. Although there is a missing ceremony, I am already your wife. This is a fact that no one can change."
"I will take good care of my mother. Just be at ease."
Zhou Mengchen didn't know what to say for a moment. Faced with such deep affection, nothing could express Zhou Mengchen's heart. He was silent for a moment and said, "Give me some time, it doesn't take long, it only takes one year. In a year, we will get married in Zhenjing. It only takes one year."
Li Yunzhen said: "Don't force yourself, you're fine, everything is fine."
The two of them looked at each other and approached little by little, as if they wanted to hug each other.
"Ahem." A voice came, but Li Guozhen came back from outside and said, "Brother Zhou, my matter has been handled." Li Guozhen seemed to have not seen Li Yunzhen, but Li Yunzhen looked at Zhou Mengchen tactfully and returned to the room.
Zhou Mengchen could only watch.
Li Guozhen said, "I have seen you too. There are so many things going to Beijing. You should go back and prepare."
Zhou Mengchen said, "Brother, then I'll go."
After Li Guozhen sent Zhou Mengchen away, she turned around and went to see Li Yanwen.
Li Yanwen seems to have always had grudges against Zhou Mengchen. He rarely sees Zhou Mengchen and usually lets his eldest son come out to deal with it. However, he is still very concerned about his daughter's marriage. So every time Zhou Mengchen comes, Li Yanwen always asks him carefully, and Li Guozhen is just used to it. Any time Zhou Mengchen comes, he will come here to report to Li Yanwen clearly.
Li Yan heard this and sighed, saying, "Good things are so hard. Boss, go back and tell me, let your two wives go to the Zhou family more if you have time. Your sister is both a child, how can you know how to take care of people?" He thought about it, then sighed, and said, "Forget it, it's not appropriate to let your wife go, so that your mother would take people there, so that their older sisters can have more contact with each other and take care of each other."
Li Guozhen said, "The boy understands." He paused slightly and said, "Father, don't you dislike Zhou Mengchen?"
Li Yanwen said, "I like it or not, isn't it useless? It's already like this, what else can I do?" In fact, Li Yanwen's anger had long since subsided. He wanted to wait for Zhou Mengchen to come to apologize, so he could step down, but he didn't expect that Zhou Mengchen was very busy during this period and had a lot of things to do when the wedding was in advance.
Moreover, Li Yanwen was angry again and was unwilling to make any difficulties in his daughter's marriage. Because the person who was in trouble was not Zhou Mengchen, but his daughter. This is the so-called "stopping the mouse and being afraid of others."
The following meaning ignores the flattery of his father-in-law. This makes Li Yan unable to hear it, and unable to hold back his face.
Li Guozhen seemed to understand this and said, "The child understands that his father is magnanimous."
Time is short and things are many.
When Zhou Mengchen returned home, he began to prepare for someone to follow him to the capital. First of all, Zhou Dazhuang, as Zhou Mengchen's follower, seemed to have a low sense of existence, but although Zhou Dazhuang was stuttering and wise, he was very strong and loyal. He resisted the heavy work of taking things with him. Zhou Mengchen decided to take it with him.
Cheng Dawei must also keep up.
On the one hand, Cheng Dawei's learning progress cannot be interrupted. Although Cheng Dawei is talented, his profound mathematics cannot be learned all in just a few months. On the other hand, Cheng Dawei has been able to help Zhou Mengchen with a little help in many things and can help Zhou Mengchen. Moreover, this participation in astronomical arithmetic has greatly improved Cheng Dawei's mathematical level and shared some of Zhou Mengchen's affairs.
Zhou Mengchen knew that when he went to the capital, he would face various difficulties. Cheng Dayi could not help with the ghosts of the human heart. However, in terms of calculation, Cheng Dayi was capable, and his ability was growing rapidly. Perhaps in a few years, Cheng Dayi would be his right-hand man.
So you must bring it with you.
Since Cheng Dawei was brought with him, Liu Xiushui could not refuse him.
In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, Liu Xiushui's child was also very pitiful. He wrote a letter to Liu Xiushui's father, Liu Tian and his eldest son replied to Liu Xiushui's visit to Zhou Mengchen's disciple, and he didn't ask anything else. Zhou Mengchen also indirectly and asked from others that he realized that Liu Xiushui was born to Liu Tian and his eldest son's first wife. She died of dysfunction, and only this child was this stepmother in charge, with several younger brothers. He was often brought by his grandfather.
Zhou Mengchen could guess some of the grievances of the wealthy families without thinking about it.
Naturally, he could not drive Liu Xiushui away. Moreover, the one who brought Liu Xiushui with him was Cheng Dawei, not him.
After all, Zhou Mengchen set rules that his disciples may not be good for other subjects, but they must be good for mathematics. Only by doing well can you learn other things. Liu Xiushui is not good at mathematics at all. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are OK. In addition, he must be taught repeatedly to make a little progress.
For the teacher who taught him, it was really a torture.
However, Zhou Mengchen was very ruthless and asked Cheng Dawei to teach his disciples. As the eldest brother, Cheng Dawei taught this junior brother who was one or two years older than him, and he had a headache every day.
Zhou Mengchen, Zhou Dazhuang, Cheng Dawei, and Liu Xiushui, a total of four people. As soon as Zhou Mengchen was sure, he started to pack his luggage. There is no need to mention some things in life. Zhou Mengchen decided to bring a large number of his manuscripts, which were divided into two categories, sorted and untied.
The book that has been sorted out is like Zhou Mengchen's first book "Pythagorean Explanation" and is now being sorted out that describes the way of movement of the sun, moon, five stars and the earth, and interprets the theory of heliocentricity. It is named "The Journey of Heaven". There is no problem with the mathematical problem in it, and the content is probably equivalent to Copernicus's "Theory of the Operation of the Celestial Body", but its expression is very different.
