Scholars unparalleled

"What are you doing, don't rummage around other people's homes!"

Qiongyue got a little anxious and caught Gong Shouyue who was flying around.

"Sister, this family hasn't moved in yet, so it doesn't matter if we take a look."

Saying that, she turned around and got into the house next to her.

Qiong Yue was also a little stunned, and hurriedly followed her in. In her opinion, this kind of thing was impossible.

It's just that I was stunned for a moment when I came in. The structure of this room is indeed a bit different.

"There is actually a hidden compartment here?"

Shouyue fumbled a little strangely, and then opened the secret compartment, only to see that there was water flowing downstairs.

Just now she heard the sound of running water, so she opened it curiously to have a look.

"What is this used for? The water is transported to the roof and instilled down?"

Shouyue looked puzzled, wondering what this was for.

It's just that Qiongyue saw the objects on the side, and immediately understood the purpose of this place.

Immediately, her pretty face flushed slightly, "This seems to be a place to go to the toilet. This water is used to wash away the filth, and the water is hidden behind the wall when it is not in use."

Shouyue was startled when he heard that, and looked at the side where there was indeed a bucket-like object, but the bucket seemed to lead to somewhere, so it needed to be washed with water?

This time, even the careless Shou Yue blushed.

With the current technology, there is no way to make the faucet, and there is no water pipe, so Lu Chensheng used the most rigid method.

Pull the water to the roof and then flow down. When needed, just open the hidden compartment to get water.

Shouyue is a little strange, where did the water come from?

Turning over and flying out, she immediately saw a strange device in the courtyard. If she saw correctly, the water should be transported from here to the roof, and then flow down along the bamboo pipes in the wall.

The objects in the courtyard are very simple, they are just wooden barrels piled up one by one, and there are some pipes between the wooden barrels. What makes her a little strange is that the water in the wooden barrels is actually flowing upwards?

As a martial artist, she can feel that the water is indeed flowing towards the roof without removing the pipe.

After flowing through one barrel after another.

Shouyue was a little stunned. This matter was completely beyond her imagination. In her impression, shouldn't the water flow from a high place to a low place?

But at this moment, not only she but also Qiong Yue who was on the side were also stunned.

"How is this going?"

Qiongyue only felt that her mind was a little confused, and looked at the wooden barrel with a puzzled face.

"What are you doing here? Dinner is already served, come here!"

Lu Chensheng walked into the small courtyard, saw the two people in front of him staring at the wooden barrel in a daze, and asked a little strangely.

Shouyue turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Chensheng, "How did you do it?"

What and how?

Lu Chensheng had an inexplicable look on his face.

Chapter No.17 Selling Paintings

"What's going on with you, why can the water flow up?"

Gong Shouyue quickly pointed at the wooden barrels stacked next to him, and asked in puzzlement.

"Well, what's wrong with the siphon principle?"

Lu Chensheng wondered what was the matter, glanced at the wooden barrel beside him, and responded nonchalantly.

But it's just the siphon principle, using atmospheric pressure.

Siphon principle, what is this?

Hearing this, the two women felt confused, and after looking at each other, they had no idea what Lu Chensheng was talking about.

"Let's put it this way, there is some invisible atmospheric pressure around us. Although we can't feel it, this thing really exists.

The water is here, although it will not flow up, but as long as we use the bamboo tube to create different air pressure on both sides, the water can be pumped out. "

With that said, Lu Chensheng picked up some remaining bamboo tubes and demonstrated it to the two girls.

Seeing with their own eyes that Lu Chensheng actually poured out the water in the barrel, the two women were still stunned.

"You can probably understand it this way. The atmosphere is constantly pressing on the water surface here, and the water will naturally flow towards places with weaker air pressure."

Gong Qiongyue looked carefully, with a thoughtful look.

It's just that Shouyue is different. Although she can see it clearly, it is still a bit hard to understand why this is the case.

"So, in fact, they all share the same atmospheric pressure, but because the balance of one of them is broken, so there is an extra outlet here. Is this what it means?"

Gong Qiongyue gently lifted her white chin, and asked with a strange twinkle in her eyes.

Lu Chensheng glanced at it in surprise, then nodded, "That's true."

After saying that, Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "Go in quickly, the banquet is ready!"

Although the two women were still a little confused, they didn't delay any longer and walked into the hall together.

When they were full of wine and food, the big men left together after thanking each other at this moment.

On the way, Gong Qiongyue seemed to be thinking about something, and from time to time a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Gong Shouyue looked a little puzzled, "Sister, why have you kept such an expression since you left Taohuawu?"

"I seem to have grasped the opportunity to break through the Grandmaster."

With a strange light in Gong Qiongyue's eyes, Dang even said something to Shouyue.

"What! How did you seize this opportunity?"

Hearing this, Gong Shouyue couldn't suppress the surprise in her heart, and asked quickly.

"The principle of siphon that the scholar said just now, after listening to the principle explained by the other party, I suddenly discovered that the same is true in martial arts."

Gong Qiongyue pursed her lips and said with a smile, she would naturally not be stingy with her younger sister, and hoped that her younger sister would also seize this opportunity, and immediately continued to explain.

"Martial arts is actually the same. It is difficult to go further at our level. It seems that all aspects have reached the peak, and it is extremely difficult to go further.

That being the case, we have to open a gap by ourselves, and use the power of heaven and earth to help break through, and then we can go to a higher level. "

Shouyue opened her mouth slightly when she heard this, but her pretty face was still stunned.

Qiong Yue frowned slightly, "You still don't understand?"

"don't know."

"Forget it, I heard that the master's skill is not so easy to comprehend. Everyone comprehends it differently. What I comprehend now is somewhat different from yours."

After Qiong Yue thought about it, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.

Shouyue was a little discouraged, her younger sister had better talent than herself, it was just a simple truth at the moment, and she actually let her sister break through.

"In the future, you may be able to get in touch with this scholar a little bit more, and the truth of heaven and earth explained by the other party just ordered me.

If you can hear some other wise words, if you understand one or two of them, you may have the opportunity to make a breakthrough. "

Qiongyue thought for a while, and said softly to her younger sister.

"Just him? He doesn't know any martial arts at all, how can he order us warriors?"

Shou Yue doesn't believe it, how can a layman order an expert?

"Scholars have always had a high status since the establishment of the dynasty. There is always a reason for it. If you get in touch with them more, you may gain something."

Shouyue still didn't quite believe that the scholar could broadcast to him on demand, but after thinking about it, he decided to talk to him more in the future.

Maybe one day I will have the opportunity like my sister.

After all, her sister woke up the scholar, and she also held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

A group of people happily went back to the village, while Lu Chensheng lay down in the courtyard to rest.

Seeing Chu Wu busy inside, he said, "Chu Wu, after packing up, let's go to the city to see if we can sell some paintings and earn some money."

In order to entertain the carpenters, Lu Chensheng almost spent all his money.

This is not going to work, Lu Chensheng thought about it and felt that he needed to run a business.

Hearing the words on the fifth day of the fifth day, he immediately said happily, "Okay, then I will go to the city with the young master later on the fifth day of the day."

As long as she can be by Lu Chensheng's side, she will be very happy in whatever she does.

During this period of time, I have drawn a few pictures and imitated some poems, and I don't know if I can sell them for a little price.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he quickly finished washing the dishes and clearing the table, then trotted to Lu Chensheng with an expectant look on his face.

"Young master, we can go."

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he said with anticipation.

Seeing that it was funny, Lu Chensheng didn't intend to tease her. The two packed up and went to Fufeng City.

In Fufeng City, the two chose a location and set up a booth, and the ink painting was directly hung on the side.

In the previous life, Lu Chensheng was interested in learning this craft, and now there are a few paintings that can be sold.

"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, how much do you think this calligraphy and painting should be sold for?"

Lu Chensheng looked around, and there were also a few scholars setting up stalls to buy calligraphy and paintings, but he didn't know how much to sell.

Chu Wu frowned and thought for a while, "At least thirty copper coins for a painting, right? After all, a piece of paper needs fifteen copper coins."

Fifteen copper coins can only buy a piece of paper?

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he took a deep breath. Fifteen copper coins were enough to buy the two of them a day's rations!

The buns I ate before were only two copper coins each.

This paper is so expensive, there is still some paper over there in the thatched cottage, and he hasn't spent any money on it, but he doesn't know the price of this paper.

Chu Wu looked at Lu Chensheng's face as if something was wrong, and she was a little uneasy. She really didn't know how much this painting should be worth.

Because scholars will evaluate according to their own words, everyone is different.

She didn't know how much Lu Chensheng should be worth. Although she was a scholar, her reputation was not as high as the other two scholars.

This price is not easy to book.

Chapter 18 Debunked

"Forget it, let's settle for thirty copper coins."

Lu Chensheng thought about it, and then finalized the price.

It's just that the reality is a bit cruel. Lu Chensheng thinks that thirty copper coins is not too much, but who knows that this afternoon will be over, and no one will come to buy paintings.

Lu Chensheng only felt that he had been hit hard, and it seemed that he couldn't continue in the business of buying paintings.

"Hey, isn't Miss Lu Xiucai?"

Just when Lu Chensheng was about to leave, he heard a soft voice, and then saw a woman walking with a maid.

When he saw a poem titled Capital City Nanzhuang in his calligraphy and painting, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder how much this poem will sell for?"

The woman pointed gently with her slender hand and wrote, the poems in this door last year today, and asked softly.

Some time ago, this poem was read by Lu Chensheng at the gate of the city. There are probably not many people in Fufeng City who don't know this poem.

Although I will write this poem in private and appreciate it slowly, there is still some difference whether the author of this poem has personally written it.

For some women who are very fond of poetry, it is the most rare collection to have a calligraphy written by the poet himself.

"Miss thirty copper coins can take it."

The woman was overjoyed when she heard the words, the price was not expensive, she immediately waved her hand to ask the servant girl to pay, and she took the word carefully.

It is better to have thirty copper coins in the account than to have nothing in one day.

But seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chensheng didn't plan to set up a stall, so he left after collecting his things.
