Chapter 97                                                                                                                             �

Wang Daozhi's voice suppressed all the other voices and attracted everyone's gaze to him.

For a moment, the elegant birds in the Yellow Crane Tower were silent.

At this moment, the sun was extremely bright outside, and the sun was like bursting golden sands bursting between the sky and the earth.

The solar eclipse has not arrived yet.

Although Wang Daozhi's voice was a bit rude, I have to admit that Wang Daozhi has come to the point.

To say a thousand to ten thousand, astronomy is never empty talk. As Zhou Mengchen just said, any astronomy theory must be verified by the sky, and it is correct to be consistent with the sky. It is nonsense that one cannot be consistent with the sky.

Even if Zhou Mengchen is talking about everything, as long as God doesn’t give him face, it means that what Zhou Mengchen said is wrong.

Zhou Mengchen calmly said, "Why do you have to worry? It's still early, why not use wine and food first, it's ready."

As soon as Zhou Mengchen greeted me, someone started serving the dishes.

A series of famous Wuhan dishes were served, such as Wuchang fish, Huangpi Sanhe, braised stewed fish, Mianyang Sanshi, etc. They are all famous dishes in Huguang. In addition, there are roasted loach, sausage, fried chicken, roast duck, a twisted duck, and water-fried meat. A series of palace dishes that are only available in Beijing. Among them, roasted duck is Beijing roast duck, which is made by the chefs in the Chu King's Mansion. The taste is beautiful and not comparable to restaurants outside. Generally, Hubei chefs can make some local Hubei dishes, but palace dishes are absolutely not allowed.

Many people probably won't be able to eat these dishes in their entire lives.

But no matter how beautiful the food is, the wine is good, many people don’t focus on eating it.

For example, Zhou Mengchen.

Although Zhou Mengchen had done his best and repeatedly calculated, he had confirmed that he had absolutely done it right and had taken all the errors into consideration. But to be honest, it was Zhou Mengchen's first time in this calculation. The closer the time, the slower Zhou Mengchen grew in his heart.

I couldn't help but think again: "Did I calculate it wrong? What went wrong? Am I wrong?"

This is similar to the examination room syndrome. When writing the paper, you are very confident, but after submitting the paper, you become less confident. Before the results are announced, you will always worry in your heart.

Zhou Mengchen is now waiting for his test results.

The uncle and nephew of the Wang family are also unwilling to accept the taste.

Most of their thoughts are in the sunshine outside.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, it took about half an hour, and it was already past three o'clock. The sunshine outside was already bright, and nothing seemed to change.

Seeing that the dishes were all served, everyone used them almost the same, Wang Daozhi said, "Brother Zhou, now everyone uses them almost the same, but this is still the case outside? Did you calculate it wrong?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Please wait a moment."

Zhou Mengchen gave enough errors and was a little more time-consuming.

Solar eclipses are different from lunar eclipses.

Everyone knows that the solar eclipse is because the moon blocks the sun's light, but the moon is small and the earth is large. The moon covers the sun's light for only a few minutes. It will pass in a while. However, the lunar eclipse is different. The lunar eclipse is because the earth blocks the sun's light. The earth is large and the moon is small. It takes several hours to completely pass.

The time period determined by Zhou Mengchen is only around noon, that is, between eleven o'clock and one o'clock. As for what time it is, Zhou Mengchen cannot be sure of it.

It's already half past noon.

Before the solar eclipse had occurred, Cheng Dawei, who was on the other side, also muttered secretly, was there something wrong?

Wang Daozhi snorted coldly and said, "I don't have time to stay with you all the time."

"I have time." Suddenly a voice came out. Everyone looked over, but it was King Wugang. King Wugang slowly pinched the wine glass, looked at Wang Daozhi, and said, "Why do you have many noble people?"

"Sit down." Wang Yongning scolded Wang Daozhi sternly. He stood up and said, "Young man is rude, please forgive me, but if this solar eclipse is not delayed, we can't wait for it."

Zhou Mengchen said: "After noon, there is no solar eclipse, even if I lose."

Wang Yongning glanced at the water clock on one side and said, "There are two quarters of an hour left."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream outside.

Everyone suddenly felt that the sun was dimming outside. Immediately someone brought out the prepared basin.

Because the sun is strong, you cannot observe directly, you can only observe indirectly and see the reflection in the water.

A few of them looked at a basin, but they saw that the sun in the basin showed a trace of black edges in the slow water marks. Sure enough, the solar eclipse had begun. About a minute, there was no need for a basin. Because most of the sunlight at this moment was covered, you can just look at it with your eyes.

But I saw the last ray of sunlight being swallowed by darkness, and for a moment, the day was like night. The stars suddenly appeared in the air, as if they were declaring that they were always there, but they were just covered by the sun.

"Dangdangdang" "Dongdongdongdong" is the sound of gongs and drums.

There was a crackling sound, which was the sound of igniting firecrackers.

There were also some people shouting loudly, shouting.

This is called the day of salvation.

Generally speaking, the rescue of the sun was to knock on whatever was on hand, but since the prediction was made, the King of Wugang had arranged it casually, so a gong and drums were roaring and firecrackers were ringing. I didn’t know that I thought it was just like the New Year. There were also children of all sizes running around and screaming.

In a moment, it seemed that it was because the people used their skills to save the sun.

The Tengu who swallowed the sun was frightened away and could only spit out the sun bit by bit. The sun's light spread out bit by bit, and then the world became clear again, and everything seemed to have never happened.

After the light of heaven and earth was restored, Zhou Mengchen looked at Wang Yongning and said, "I won." Then he came to Li Yanwen a few steps and said, "Son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law."

Li Yanwen was a little at a loss?

He actually didn't really believe that Zhou Mengchen could win, but after Zhou Mengchen really predicted the solar eclipse, Li Yanwen's attitude towards Zhou Mengchen also made a 180-degree turn. He used to think that he was the bad guy in his neighbor's neighbor who wanted to seduce his daughter. At this moment, he felt that Zhou Mengchen was a god who could measure the secrets of heaven and cut off yin and yang.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen performed such a great courtesy. He didn't know what to do for a moment?

Hou Fengcheng smiled and said, "Doctor Li, I don't have a daughter yet. Otherwise, you, the old Taishan, will not be able to do it today. We are all witnesses, why do you want to regret it, right?"

The sentence of Fengcheng Hou is half true and half false. Although he has no daughter, he has a niece. It is true that he really wants to marry a daughter of the Li family to Zhou Mengchen to win him over. However, Fengcheng Hou understands it even more, and it is impossible now. After all, today's incident was so big that he finally robbed the bride, and it was not good to be famous after all, and Zhou Mengchen might not agree. So he can only joke.

Governor Che also nodded and said, "We are all matchmakers. Congratulations to Dr. Li for his happy son-in-law."

After hearing this, Li Yan took a look again. The uncle and nephew of the Wang family had already gone downstairs in shame. They made it boring, so naturally they would not be embarrassed to stay here.

When Li Yan heard about this, he could not refuse. In addition, his daughter was also happy with Zhou Mengchen, so she could only support Zhou Mengchen with both hands and said, "Okay, in the future, the little girl will be entrusted to her son-in-law."

Zhou Mengchen was overjoyed.

Today he has achieved both career and love, and I believe that after today, he was the name Zhou Mengchen, not only in Wuchang City, but also people who study astronomy in the world will know his name.

After a big show ended, they naturally went back to their own homes.

Li Yanwen also told Zhou Mengchen that he asked him to come to propose marriage. His marriage with Li Yunzhen was decided, and he would enter the process, but even if he did, it would take one or two months. Therefore, if Zhou Mengchen wanted to hold the beauty, he still had to wait.

After everything was over, Zhou Mengchen discovered Liu Tianhe's grandson, but Liu Xiushui followed him home.

It's hard to talk to on the road, and after returning home.

Zhou Mengchen asked him, "What are you doing in Wuchang?"

Liu Xiushui knelt down and said, "I want to become my uncle and learn how to control water. It is best to complete my grandfather's congressman and manage the Yellow River well."

Zhou Mengchen quickly helped Liu Xiushui up and said, "Get up. Get up. Talk well." After helping him up, Zhou Mengchen sighed and said, "I haven't been through the funeral of the master. I'm extremely unfilial. What do you want to learn? I naturally have to teach you, just to explain the matter clearly? Why are you not planning to take the imperial examination?"

Liu Xiushui lowered his head and said, "Disciple is ashamed. My grandfather said I should not go to the career of the officialdom. I am afraid it will be a waste of my life. It is enough to let me defend my family's property. But I am unwilling to give in. I have no intention of studying and making progress, but I want to fulfill my grandfather's wish and govern the Yellow River for the whole world."

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "This is right." Whether it is for family inheritance or personal future.

The imperial examination is always the most cost-effective.

However, Zhou Mengchen was also curious about what kind of qualifications Liu Xiushui had, which made Liu Tianhe give up and let him take the imperial examination.

Zhou Mengchen randomly wrote a few math questions for Liu Xiushui to calculate, and it took half an hour to finish. When Zhou Mengchen looked, he wrote several sheets of paper for each question. I don’t know how many words, but none of them was correct.

Liu Xiushui lowered his head in shame, and Zhou Mengchen said, "It's okay, you can't write, it's because you haven't learned it. You can go and explain it to him."

Cheng Dawei came over happily, as if he was still very happy about the extra junior brother, and said, "Yes." He then went to teach Liu Xiushui. But after a while, he came back with a sad face and said, "Master, can you not let me teach the junior brother the questions?"

Zhou Mengchen asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
