meaning of aurora

Chapter 34
Xuan Shi has always been a careful person.

It's not that he doesn't care how he lost contact with Cheng Nuo in the first place.

It's not that he doesn't care about Nie Guangyi's concern about this matter.

However, he and Cheng Nuo had already reached a consensus.

Instead of worrying about what caused the separation at that time, it is better to cherish every day now.

Nie Guangyi never thought that Xuan Shi would suddenly say such a sentence.

Sensational full of meaning.

It brought a great shock to his already sensitive nerves.

Nie Guangyi really felt that he was sick today, and he was seriously ill.

Needless to say, the suffocation on the plane.

After getting off the plane, he could barely stand.

Immediately afterwards, I couldn't restrain the urge to cry.

A letter, a figure, a sentence.

All of them will bring him an uncontrollable feeling, and he will have to work very hard to keep the tears from really shedding.

Probably the plane suddenly fell several thousand meters, causing his brain to be flooded.

Without the flow point coming out, it is difficult to maintain balance.

Nie Guangyi took a deep breath and allowed himself to focus all his attention on the ancient sheep scorpion that he was about to eat.

……

Because of the greeting in advance, Meng Xinzhi didn't sleep in the room, and went straight down to the studio on the first floor to wait for Cheng Nuo to come over.

Of course, even without Cheng Nuo, she still had to come down and wait for her father.

Since the younger sister has already occupied the mother, there is no need for the father to hurry up when he comes back.

In this way, Dad will have plenty of time to chat with her.

I'm going to study abroad soon, and I don't have much time to talk to my father late at night.

……

Aurora meaning.

The fifth floor rooftop.

The rooftop at night is brightly lit.

Soft and soothing classical music flows slowly with the flicking movie curtain.

Zong Ji, Meng Xinzhi, Xuan Shi Cheng Nuo, and Nie Guangyi all gathered here.

The studio on the first floor is a kitchen with an open fire, and it is also the place where Xuan Shi originally planned to make the ancient sheep scorpion.

After parking the car, Zongji knew that there was an ancient supper, so he directly arranged the place on the rooftop of the top floor.

For one thing, the voice of the talking is mainly uploaded upwards, making noise in the downstairs studio, and it is easy to disturb Meng Lan and Zong Yi who are already resting upstairs.

Secondly, Zongji is also a self-taught culinary master. When he heard that Xuan Shi was going to make Su Dongpo's ancient method of lamb scorpion, he immediately said that he would also like to have a popular supper dish that has been passed down since then to compete.

There are two men who are so passionate about cooking, Meng Xinzhi and Cheng Nuo naturally have no objection.

Nie Guangyi, who is a foodie, is even more impossible.

The current situation in Tiantai is that Xuan Shi and Zongji went to prepare their respective materials, leaving Nie Guangyi alone to chat with the two girls.

Sitting down by the movie screen with the two girls, Nie Guangyi suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

The water in my mind was emptied in an instant.

How refreshing!
Nie Guangyi is normal again, and tends to be overly normal: "Speaking of geniuses, besides me, Da Vinci, Qiangu Yidi, there is actually another person."

Nie Guangyi's words were difficult to accept.

He placed himself too high.

He is certainly a genius, but compared with a universally recognized genius like Da Vinci, there is definitely still a gap.

Even if he really has a chance to be famous forever in the future, it will have to wait for the confirmation of time.

Real geniuses, like da Vinci, don't feel like geniuses at all.

Da Vinci even used the same sentence over and over again in several notebooks to question himself: [Tell me what I have done.Tell me, did I ever accomplish one thing...]

Yes.

This is Da Vinci, a genius who thinks he can accomplish nothing.

On the other hand, Nie Guangyi...

Fortunately, Cheng Nuo made up his mind early on to follow his boyfriend's brother in everything.

She responded silkily: "Oh? Who is that person?"

"This person took the national examination and won the first place in the first century of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. He is considered a fighter among the champions." Nie Guangyi made a fool of himself and asked by the way: "Do you know what the national examination is?"

Seeing Cheng Nuo shaking his head, Nie Guangyi looked at Meng Xinzhi again.

"The system examination is an unconventional examination held from time to time. The purpose is to select extraordinary talents. The system examination began with Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and it was especially popular in the Tang Dynasty after that. Because every time the emperor issued an edict to personally select professionals, The system examination was considered a higher-level examination than the imperial examination in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Daxin, who is the number one in the century since the founding of the country?" Cheng Nuo simply asked Meng Xinzhi directly, so as to save Nie Guangyi from continuing to be tricky.

"Su Shi." Meng Xinzhi's answer was as straightforward as Cheng Nuo thought.

"Ah? It's Layman Dongpo again..." Cheng Nuo was surprised, but not so surprised, and said, "Ashi seems to have told me about this. I'm not very interested in history, so I forgot."

"After Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, he reclaimed a piece of wasteland in the east of the city, so he got the title of Dongpo Layman. When he took the system examination, he was just Su Zizhan." Nie Guangyi corrected him aloud.

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Nuo asked in a non-targeted manner, "How well did Su Shi do in the exam?"

"The third class." Meng Xinzhi and Nie Guangyi said in unison.

"Is the third class the highest?" Cheng Nuo asked Nie Guangyi first, because his boyfriend sent her a special message saying that today's situation is special, and asked her to help take care of Guangyi's emotions.

Nie Guangyi only answered two words, "No", and fell silent under Cheng Nuo's expectant eyes.

He looked at Meng Xinzhi fixedly, and expressed his desire to hear Meng Xin's words with silent body language.

Meng Xin said: "The grading of the system examination is divided into five grades. There are first and second grades in the front, and fourth and fifth grades in the back."

"Ah? It sounds like it's just a mediocre result, not very good." Cheng Nuo gave his own understanding, "A third-class result, out of a total of fifth-class ratings, is at most It’s just a mainstay, how come it’s number one in a hundred years?”

Nie Guangyi smiled, and didn't answer directly, but said: "After Su Shi finished the exam, the then emperor Song Renzong made a rule: [From now on, the third class of the system, and the first with the Jinshi], you Don't you think it's not good enough?"

Cheng Nuo took Meng Xinzhi's arm: "Da Xin, please translate for me."

Cheng Nuo was very good at chatting. With her around, no one would feel neglected.

Meng Xin responded to every request: "From now on, entering the third class in the system examination is equivalent to being the first in Jinshi."

"I know the first Jinshi!" Cheng Nuo thought of a familiar saying, turned to look at Nie Guangyi, and asked aloud, "No. [-] scholar, right?"

"Yes." Nie Guangyi replied: "In the system examination, those who pass the fifth class are considered qualified. The fourth class is a hurdle, and those who pass the fourth class can become officials."

"The year Su Shi took the exam was the sixth year of Jiayou, which is 1061." Meng Xinzhi added the details, "Su Shi's younger brother, Su Zhe, also took the same exam and started his official career. .”

"Then that's okay, isn't there still the first and second ranks ahead?" Cheng Nuo specifically asked Nie Guangyi again.

Nie Guangyi, who was originally in a bad mood, gradually improved as the discussion progressed: "The first and second classes were just a fiction in the Song Dynasty. They were prepared for gods. In the entire Song Dynasty, no human being ever got them. Even It is also impossible for a genius like me to travel back and take the exam."

That's right, bragging is the way Nie Tiancai is getting better.

Cheng Nuo was worried that Nie Guangyi's expression would arouse Meng Xinzhi's resentment, so he directly interrupted Meng Xinzhi to ask for confirmation: "Is that so? Da Xin."

"Well, looking at the entire Song Dynasty, including the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, there are only four people who can enter the third class in the system examination. They are: Wu Yu, Su Shi, Fan Bailu, and Kong Wenzhong."

Without waiting for Cheng Nuo to connect the scene, Nie Guangyi interjected directly: "Is this in chronological order?"

Cheng Nuo soon realized that he was a bit redundant as a host.

Meng Xinzhi did not show any abnormality at all because of Nie Tiantian's high self-esteem.

The communication between Nie Guangyi and Meng Xinzhi did not have any obstacles as she imagined.

It's better than usual, every word has to be transformed into Nie Dangdang's state, so much better.

After figuring out the situation, Cheng Nuo immediately decided that he would give the limited time to his boyfriend, whom he would still miss even though he was in front of him.

"Let's talk first." Cheng Nuo got up and said, "I'll go see how Ah Shi's sheep is getting ready."

Cheng Nuo left. Nie Guangyi and Meng Xinzhi were the only people sitting by the movie screen waiting for food.

Meng Xinzhi also wanted to follow her to see what hot supper Dad had prepared.

It's just that, as the host, it's not easy to leave the guest who came to the rooftop for the first time alone.

"Girl, I want to discuss it with you." A certain talented architect who is allergic to classics, as long as he sees Meng Xinzhi, his immunity will skyrocket to [-] miles.

"Mr. Nie, please tell me."

"It's just the question just now. Are the four third-classes you mentioned arranged according to the timeline?" Nie Guangyi explained: "I studied Su Dongpo specifically because I was interested in food. What did you say? I have never heard of the other three third classes."

"It's organized according to the timeline." Meng Xinzhi replied.

"That's good. If we sort it out according to the timeline, before Su Shi, there was another Wu Yu who entered the third class? In this way, is it still controversial whether Su Shi is the number one in the century since the founding of the country?"

"Su Zizhan's number one in the century since the founding of the country is certainly undisputed."

"why?"

"Because there are two grades in the third grade, one is called the third grade and the other is called the third grade. Wu Yu, who got the third grade before him, belongs to the third grade. He participated in the same class as Su Shi. His younger brother, Su Zhe, was also one of the only two passers in that subject at that time, and the final grade was the fourth grade."

"You just meant that there is a real third class behind Su Shi, right?"

"That's true. However, a large number of people believe that Su Dongpo's third class was unprecedented in the Song Dynasty. For example, Fan Bailu after him is controversial in history."

"Why?" Nie Guangyi grew up, and it was the first time that he felt that his knowledge reserve was not enough.

"Because, in "Song Huiyao Compiled Drafts", Fan Bailu is recorded as the fourth class."

"Then why did you just say that he is the third class?"

"Because, historical materials such as "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Miscellaneous Records of the Government and the Field since Jianyan" recorded Fan Bailu as the third class. I major in cultural relics and museums, and I prefer the records in "History of the Song Dynasty."

"Museology? I just went back to the birthplace of the museum last month!" Nie Guangyi said with great interest.

"Birthplace?" Meng Xinzhi became interested, "Where?"

"Athens." Nie Guangyi said: "Plato, Socrates' student, likes to teach in a beautiful grove. The grove is called Χεκαδημα, which means Academy in Greek. Towards an outdoor square. On that square stands the statue of the Muse. In Latin, the place where the Muse is enshrined is called Mouseion, so Plato's Academy became the birthplace of the museum. Latin The Mouseion in English is also the etymology of the word Museum in English."

Although he calls himself a genius all day long, Nie Guangyi is not so keen on showing off his knowledge in real life.

At this moment, Nie Tiantian didn't realize at all that he had unknowingly become a male peacock with his tail open. By showing off his talented feathers, he attracted the attention of the female peacock he liked but didn't know.

The male peacock successfully diverted the topic to his field of expertise.

Meng Xinzhi quickly responded: "The square with the statue of the Muses you mentioned is open-air, and it is quite different from a museum in the modern sense."

"That's right! But Plato is not only Socrates' student, he is also Aristotle's teacher!"

"and then?"

"Then Aristotle took another student, who at the age of 16 ruled the kingdom of Macedon in his father's place."

"King Alexander."

"Yes! Alexander the Great established Alexandria and sponsored the sculptor Leucipos. After the death of Alexander the Great, the Ptolemy Dynasty settled in Alexandria and named an indoor space similar to the library Mouseion. In human history The first museum in the true sense came into being. In that epoch-making museum, scholars not only collected physical collections, but also conducted scientific research. It was also there, for the first time in human history, With extremely small errors, the circumference of the earth was determined."

Nie Kongque felt relieved.

They also opened their tails, but the screens he opened were very different from ordinary and ordinary male peacocks.

"Yeah." Meng Xinzhi nodded.

Although he agreed, he didn't show the kind of strong agreement that Nie Guangyi wanted, which was similar to his eyes shining.

This made Nie Tian very frustrated.

Once again, Nie Kongque at this moment is completely unaware of where his frustration comes from.

Meng Xinzhi has actually worked very hard to cooperate.

After all, she neither showed nor told Nie Guangyi that these information, which can be called lonely for students of other majors, were introduced by the museology teacher in the first class of the school.
