Chen Shuiran and the others never expected that it would be like this.
It was obvious that they were here to cause trouble, and even Chen Shuiran's own idea was to completely wipe out Xu Kai's literary ambitions and prevent him from re-entering the imperial examination for the rest of his life. So why did Xu Kai pretend to be a teacher and want to teach them?
As a Ph.D. in physics in his previous life, Xu Kai naturally took classes. Now that he stood on the podium, he really looked like a king.
Chen Shuiran had blue veins popping up on his forehead. As a scholar, it was difficult for him to accept that a boy stood on the podium and looked down at him and offered to teach him, so he said in the calmest tone possible: "Xu Kai, even if you are the head of the case , he is just a child, what qualifications do he have to teach us?"
Xu Kai glanced at him and thought that this person was probably the leader: "Since you ask me questions, I will naturally answer your questions and be regarded as your teacher. Confucius said: If three people are walking together, there must be my teacher, Han You have also written that 'there is a certain order of learning and a specialization of skills', so why can't I be your teacher?"
Xu Kai can still remember the poems and essays written by high school students.
"I'm just asking you to explain the answers to the questions you wrote about the way of enlightenment. What kind of study is this!"
"No." Xu Kai said seriously, "This is the foundation of heaven and earth. Since you have doubts about this, ask me, and I will answer your questions."
Huang Tu had never seen Xu Kai with such a serious expression.
No, Huang Tu suddenly thought that he had actually seen it before.
That was the day when he asked Xu Kai what his Ming Dao Zhiwen was about.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what medicine Xu Kai was selling in the gourd.
Suddenly, Ming Zhixing sat down first and said expressionlessly: "Speak, let me hear the truth behind your Mingdao question. If you can't explain it, or it is superficial and absurd, we will definitely report it to the dean. , expel you."
Chen Shuiran and others also thought that they might be able to drive Xu Kai out, so they sat down one after another.
Seeing everyone including Huang Tu sitting down, Xu Kai began to explain.
"First of all, let's talk about some concepts. In fact, I believe you can infer most of what I wrote from the literal meaning, but some still need to be talked about. For example, this 'quality' does not refer to the quality of the item, it The definition of is... If you want to make it easier to understand, just think of it as the weight of an object. If you have any questions about the details, you can ask me later... acceleration... combined external force..."
After explaining some basic concepts to everyone, Xu Kai began to explain the three laws of mechanics in detail.
Some people pondered, some sneered; some cursed without caring about politeness; some asked doubts and questions tirelessly.
This world has no concepts of natural science, it is all empiricism, and no one can become a saint by studying these. Naturally, it is quite difficult to teach.
Xu Kai explained the doubts of the people who asked the question in detail, and also carefully asked those who were swearing about their doubts, and then explained them clearly one by one. He was not at all impatient because of these people's scientific ignorance and ignorance. irritable.
Because science is designed to break down these things.
Gradually, some people were infected by his serious spirit, and their words also brought some admiration.
Finally, the sunset appeared, and everyone understood the meaning of the three laws of mechanics.
Xu Kai wiped his sweat. As scholars, these people were naturally much easier to teach than Yan He, who was not even a boy. But so many people still made him feel tired.
It's not like he hasn't taught anyone in his previous life, but those were college students who already had a certain foundation, so they weren't that difficult to teach.
Ming Zhixing stood up and saluted Xu Kaizuo: "I didn't expect that some common things in daily life can also contain the Tao of heaven and earth. I can learn from it."
Many people saluted together and said, "I have been taught."
But more people like Chen Shuiran still sneered: "There is indeed some truth, but it is just some side stories and grotesque tricks. Xu Kai, can you still rely on these vulgar things to become a saint?"
Xu Kai said calmly: "This is a knowledge, not something vulgar."
Chen Shuiran sneered and left with many people.
Ming Zhixing also came up and said: "Although Mr. Xu and Chen Shuiran's words are not pleasant to listen to, they are reasonable. After all, these are not great ways, and they cannot help people cultivate themselves, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Even the novelist Cao Xueqin, Mr. Cao, has become a semi-saint, and wrote "Nine Mr. Zhang from "Zhang Shushu" is still pursuing the path to sainthood. It is said that his end is approaching. It is better not to waste too much time on this."
Xu Kai just smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern. I know what path I should take."
Everyone left one after another.
Xu Kai took the yellow picture and prepared to head to his residence. They don't have real estate in Dingzhou, so they choose to live in the National Academy of Sciences and are regarded as live-in students.
Suddenly someone stopped them: "That's good."
The two of them looked back and saw that it was Wang Xin.
"Meet sir."
"No need to be polite. Xu Kai, you speak well, you are solemn and serious, and you treat students patiently and meticulously. You can be called a good teacher. It turns out that the answers you wrote are so wonderful and contain the principles of heaven and earth. If If you have time, I will ask you for more advice in the future."
Huang Tu looked at Xu Kai, but no matter how he looked at him, he didn't think that this person had anything to do with the word "zhuangzheng".
Xu Kai was very surprised: "I don't dare to take it seriously. If you, sir, intend to explore this, I will do my best. I wonder why you are here?"
"It's okay. You can go. You have just arrived in Dingzhou. Although the housing is basically ready, you still need some basic daily necessities. You haven't had time to buy it yet? If you don't go, you will miss the entrance to the National Academy of Sciences. ." Wang Xin waved his hand.
"Goodbye, sir."
…
…
Shangyang County.
"Master, is this really necessary? Then Xu Kai's second question and answer was so bad, are you really not afraid that he will be found guilty of fraud and be killed?"
"What do you know! After so many days, do you really think that no one has noticed this? But there is still no news at all. Xu Kai actually went to the State Council. How can this be false!"
"But, sir." The servant said weakly, "I remember that you went to the mansion to report him..."
A man who looked like a wealthy businessman next to the servant was stunned, and slapped the servant hard on the back of the head: "Idiot! That's why we have to visit with heavy gifts. If he learns that I reported him in the future, what will happen then?" I’m the one with the best head on the ground!”
After saying that, he glared at the servant fiercely: "Also, forget about this!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The servant said solemnly.
The wealthy businessman looked in the direction of Xu Kai's house, feeling worried.
He did go to the mansion to report Xu Kai because his son failed the exam. But even if Xu Kai didn't participate, his son probably still wouldn't pass the exam.
But this time I learned a surprising news.
The Literary Academy of Dongming Prefecture in Shangyang County is the institution responsible for this aspect, and he also has some friendship there.
But it was his friend who told him with a half-smile: You don't know? Xu Kai obtained permission and was ready to study at the State Academy of Sciences!
The wealthy businessman was shocked. Where is the State Council? It is a place where the best scholars and scholars from all over the state gather to study. Xu Kai can go there as a child student, which shows that the official recognized Xu Kai and recognized that his results are true and valid, without any fraud.
A boy with two questions!
According to past experience, this person will be guaranteed to be a candidate in the future, and there is great hope for Jinshi!
He can't afford to mess with such a person!
This is because he didn't know that Xu Kai had caused the Heavenly Will List to shine brightly, otherwise he would have sacrificed all his wealth just to ask Xu Kai to live with his family.
After thinking about it, the wealthy businessman decided to go there with heavy gifts to congratulate him, hoping that he would forget this little unpleasantness when he achieves success in the future.
He arrived at the residence of Xu Kai, who had inquired about it, but found that the door was locked with a piece of paper stuck on it.
The wealthy businessman came forward to take a look, but found that there was only one sentence on the paper.
"Advertising space for rent."
"Um?"
…
…
"Why did you buy such a big broken wooden box?" Xu Kai looked at the yellow picture of a large wooden box that was two meters square and about one meter deep in confusion.
Huang Tu patted the box and said, "Fill it with soil. This will be my bed from now on."
