Chapter 176 Physics King

The extra ones were Yan Shikuan who was about to go to Xujiazhuang to have a look, and his two favorite students.

One is Cui Yuan, who came from Jizhou and Hebei, and his family is also well-known in the local area.

There are also great Confucian scholars such as Cui Yan in the family, who advise Yuan Zhao under his command.

After learning about this person's background, Xu Yue couldn't help but suspect that it was this guy who was spreading rumors about her father behind his back.

Even if he didn't say it himself, but Yan Shikuan in Yuyang still knows about Hebei, it must have something to do with him.

However, after observing it all morning, it seems that this is a serious Confucian scholar who keeps his ears shut and only reads sage books.

Another student of Yan Shikuan is Guang Luhai who came to study in Liaoxi County, Youzhou.

Ordinary farming and studying family, grandfather in business, father's generation inherited the legacy of the previous generation, and the family was well-off when he was young, but the father's generation was sitting on the mountain, and now there is no such thing as before.

Both of them are in their early twenties, Cui Yuan is slightly older, has a family, has a calm personality, and is strict in doing things, just like the second generation of Yan Shikuan.

Guang Luhai is different. He is younger, has no family, and has no restraints behind him. He is a 1.8-meter-three strong guy who is full of curiosity about everything.

In the west of Liaoning, academics are underdeveloped, and there is close contact with the surrounding ethnic groups. Confucian ethics are almost useless there. Even if Guangluhai is very young, there are Confucian teachers to guide, and the rough and straightforward temper of the border people has penetrated into the bone marrow.

Xu Yue, who had been in contact with Yan Shikuan, felt it was amazing. How could such a young man be attracted by Yan Shikuan, a great Confucian who pays attention to etiquette?

Xu Yue stared at the strong boy on the horse and thought for a while, but she couldn't figure it out.

But she is not in a hurry, the three master and apprentice will stay in the village next, and she has plenty of opportunities to observe slowly.

The weather is warmer and the road is easier to walk than when we came here. In addition, everyone is eager to return home, so the journey is much faster than when we came yesterday.

In the middle of the morning, Zhuangzi of the Xu family arrived.

Gongsun An and Rong Bo parted ways with Xu Yue's family at the pass of the mountain, and the two families separated and went back to their own homes.

The matter of Gongsun An's adoption is considered a certainty. It only needs to wait for Yan Gu to persuade the second wife, Yan Shi, and the matter will be completed.

On Xu Da's side, Xu Yue also gradually understood that the purpose of Father's trip was not just Gongsun An's adoption.

Father's real goal is Yan Shikuan, a great Confucian.

In this warlord melee, Gongsun Zan has actually been the target of collective impeachment by other warlords.

The reason why he was impeached was because of his background. He did not have the political accumulation of four generations and three princes like Yuan's.It's not like Cao's general who was appointed by the little emperor himself, and his name is justified.

The second is that he has offended many scholars in recent years, especially the opposition of scholars in Youzhou and Jizhou.

And once he got the approval of the great Confucian Yan Shikuan, or his neutral attitude, it would greatly relieve the pressure Gongsun Zan was facing now.

If it was in the past, Gongsun Zan would definitely have refused to accept it, but now he is willing to put down his dignity and show affection to these great Confucian scholars, which is really surprising.

"Father, have you tricked the general?" Xu Yue asked suspiciously.

Xu Da sneered, "Tch, what's going on in your little head?"

"This is the north, not Miaojiang. Even if your father and I know how to play Gu, there must be Gu to play."

Xu Yue thought to herself, that's right.

But
"Why does General Gongsun feel like a different person now?" Xu Yue couldn't hold back, and asked her doubts in a low voice.

"Has it changed?" Xu Da touched the mustache growing on his chin, thought about it seriously for a while, then nodded and said:

"It seems that I let ghosts and gods give him a dream to wake him up, and it still has some effect."

"Tuomeng?" Xu Yue blinked her big eyes, what kind of coquettish operation is this.

Xu Da signaled Xu Yue to come closer, and mysteriously explained in her ear how he saw that Gongsun Zan would not listen to persuasion, and then used some tricks to make Gongsun Zan dream every day.

Gongsun Zan is not a superstitious person, but there are some dreams where you have to be him for a month in a row, and every day you dream of yourself after death to tell your current self, "If you listen to Xu Gong, you can avoid death." If you don't believe it, you have to believe it.

From then on, Gongsun Zan was willing to sit down and listen carefully to everything Xu Da said.

After hearing this, Xu Yue couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Wonderful!"

Xu Da pretended to be modest and waved his hand, "Where is it?"

While talking and joking, a group of people came to the gate of the village.

When Xu Da came back, there were only simple fences here, but now that winter has passed, there are already two large iron gates here.

It is the same style as the gate of a modern prison, with two fully enclosed doors, two small windows on the top, and a pulley track on the bottom. After unlocking, push the two sides to open.

Such a gate was specially designed by the Wang family, and the valleys on both sides were also designed together. The mountain and the gate completely formed a whole.

Once the gate is closed, it is a natural defensive barrier, and no one can come in.

Such a gate brought the first shock to Yan Shikuan and others who had just arrived at Xujiazhuang.

The black iron gate is four meters high, six meters wide, and about seven inches thick. Not to mention the exquisite forging skills, but such a large lump of iron would cost a lot of money.

This is not over yet, look at the track under the door, it is extremely smooth, no one is pushing it, and the two doors can automatically retract towards the mountains on both sides.

"I don't know which mechanism master this is from?"

After entering through these two doors and experiencing the ingenuity of the sliding doors, Yan Shikuan couldn't help asking.

"Young lady, tell me." Xu Da looked at his daughter and asked her to explain to her husband.

As for himself, he will never admit that physics, which his wife is best at, is a blind spot in his knowledge!

Xu Yue nodded, expressing her understanding of Father, a master of metaphysics, who is afraid of physics, and turned to explain to Yan Shikuan and others:
"There is a special spring device built into the mountain. After the mechanism is triggered, the spring device starts to drive the shaft inside. When the door is pulled, it will naturally retract toward the mountain on both sides."

"And when closing the door, just let go of the spring device, and the door will automatically close again."

Pointing to the mountain walls on both sides behind her, Xu Yue said: "If the mechanism is not activated, a hundred strong men will not be able to push the door with just human power."

"Oh, this is the interaction of forces, my mother said!"

Xu Yue was poor in physics in her previous life, and had a natural admiration for those who were outstanding in physics. When she mentioned A Niang, her little face was full of pride.

Yan Shikuan, master and apprentice, were stunned, Aunt?
The organ on the door was actually made by Mrs. Xu?

No, it was a woman's hand!
"Does Master Gongshu still accept female disciples?" Guang Luhai asked in surprise.

Xu Yue scratched her head, "What Master Gongshu? My aunt didn't have a teacher, she made this organ herself."

The three masters and apprentices looked at each other in shock, and Mrs. Xu was actually self-taught!
