The sad reminder of the science man

After Xue Jia came out of Father Xue's study, he introduced two guards to Father Xue, and asked Xue Zhong to arrange a carriage to go to Cheng's mansion. He didn't want to ride a horse anyway.

When Xue Jia came to Cheng's mansion, as expected, he was asked by the master again, and the master also analyzed it, but Cheng Gong said a little more than Xue's father, because Zhao Chen and Zhao Wan were still standing outside the door when he said it, so Cheng Gong wrote on the paper to ask Xue Chi not to study gunpowder and explosive devices in the future. Xue Chi looked at it and nodded. Later, he saw that Master soaked the paper so that the words on the paper could not be read clearly. Just threw that paper away.

After throwing the paper away, Cheng Gong gave some other instructions, but it was the same as Father Xue said, try not to hide anything from Zhao Chen and Zhao Wan, even if it is some private affairs, they can be used, although Xue Zhi doesn't know very well , He also asked Cheng Gong why, if Cheng Gong didn’t tell him, he could only let it go. Although Xue Chi was not very happy that Father Xue and Cheng Gong were betraying each other, he only knew that they were all for his own good. It's always right to do what they said. After making a decision in my heart, I talked to Cheng Gong about the construction site, and then went home after eating at Cheng's mansion.

When Xue Jia returned home, Father Xue and Mother Xue hadn't come home yet, and Xue Jia didn't wait for them. He was really tired after running around all day today, and Father Xue also said that he didn't need to wait for them to come back.

On the second day, Xue Jiachen only woke up. He is not going to go out today. On the one hand, he is tired. On the other hand, although the emperor did not say anything, Cheng Gong and Xue father both said to let him be honest, he is not reckless. A child in the rebellious period knows what is the most suitable choice.

Xue Jia washed up, ate, and went to Xue Mu's place. When Xue Jia saw Xue Mu's expression, he knew that what happened yesterday was over, but just to be on the safe side, Xue Jia thought he should ask clearly. Okay, but seeing that Xue Hao was there, Xue Jia didn't ask so clearly, "Mother, how was it last night."

Mother Xue nodded with a smile, and stroked Xue Hao's head with one hand, "It's going well, the master wrote the paper last night, and said it will be submitted today, then we can just wait, and I have already told Haoer , Chi’er doesn’t need to be so cryptic.”

Since Xue Hao heard Mother Xue say that her marriage was completed and the marriage was granted this morning, she has spent the whole morning joking with Mother Xue. Now that Mother Xue said this, she is not at all uncomfortable, but Now she still has a bit of longing for the future. No matter what, being able to take the imperial examination means that people are motivated, and she is better than Jia Baoyu's embroidered pillow. Xue Hao believes that she is aiming at such a good condition in this life. It is difficult for others to envy, envy and hate.

Xue Jia looked at Xue Hao with blushing cheeks, and didn't make much fun, but said something else to Xue's mother, "Mother, the place you arranged for Brother Zhao and Second Brother Zhao to live is a little far away from me, mother You can change it today!"

Mother Xue also heard Father Xue mention these two guards a little yesterday. Although Mother Xue still doesn't know their specific identities, this does not prevent her from knowing from Father Xue and Xue Chi's attitude that they cannot be treated as ordinary guards. Now, after hearing what Xue Chi said, I know that I can't intervene, so Xue Chi can do whatever he says, "Well, mother will arrange it. Also, Chi'er, the master said that you are now the fifth rank Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, why didn’t you go to work today?”

Xue Chi waved his hand, "Mom, I won't be officially on business until a few days later, and I will stay at home during this time."

Mother Xue heard what Xue Jia said, and asked quickly, "Mother doesn't understand these things, you can figure it out for yourself, and do you still go to the government hall?"

Xue Chi nodded, "Well, the emperor said that I followed Yang Gong during the construction of the Guanting Reservoir!"

When Xue's mother heard this, she knew that Xue Chi was about to leave Beijing again, and she was very sad, but she still smiled and said, "Well, when you are outside, learn from your seniors and don't push yourself."

"Mother, I know, mother, I'm going to the study, I want to eat fish at noon." Xue Jia didn't notice Xue's mother's reluctance, but asked Xue's mother.

Mother Xue would not reject Xue Jia, and as soon as Xue Jia said these words, Xue Hao on the side couldn't help laughing, but Xue Jia just glared at Xue Hao, and then left to go to the study. Guanting had some ideas, and he was thinking of going to the study to tidy up.

The emperor's efficiency is very high. This afternoon, Zhao Chen took Xue Jia to a workshop in the Ministry of Industry. This workshop is in the northeast corner of the Ministry of Industry, and the security is very strict. Xue Jia has been walking in the Ministry of Industry for several months. This is the first time I know of such a place.Seeing that there are soldiers standing guard everywhere, Xue Zhi secretly decided in his heart that he must control his eyes and mouth, never look at what he can't see, and keep his eyes straight no matter how curious he is.Never open your mouth if you can, and follow the principle that silence is golden.

Xue Zhi demonstrated the production of the blasting device with his own hands, explained it carefully, and finally left a detailed experimental record. Xue Zhi did every step properly, and hoped that he would not have to find himself again in the future.

On the second day after Xue Zhi handed over the formula, the Xue family received the imperial decree of marriage, but it was not the emperor, but the queen, but this made no difference in the eyes of the Xue family. The important thing was that Xue Hao had settled down, and People will only bless them and never gossip, even if they have any thoughts in their hearts, they will not say anything, but this is not within the scope of the Xue family's consideration.

Xue Jia didn't know until the marriage decree came down that Xue Hao's partner was Deng Lei, the biography of this session. He was born in the Deng family, a traditional poet and book family in Shandong, and was the third son of the family.

The Deng family was a well-known family of poets and books in the previous dynasty. In the early days of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Deng family did not become an official, but gradually came out in the generation of Deng Lei's father. Father Xue firmly believes that the Deng family has a profound heritage. Although it cannot be sure that it will be prominent for a while in the future, it will definitely last for a long time. Father Xue also accidentally discovered such a high-quality stock in the Deng family when he was drinking with Lin Ruhai. Father Xue is most satisfied with the Deng family. Only when a man is forty and childless can he take a concubine, so in the end Xue's father did not choose the more outstanding champion and Tanhua.

You must know that although Deng Lei is good, Father Xue is also optimistic about the prospects of the Deng family, but after all, it is only potential, and the specific power is not as good.This year's No. [-] Scholar and Tanhua are also young, unengaged, and they are also good candidates for marriage. For example, No. [-] Scholar is the grandson of a contemporary Confucian, and that Confucian has also taught the current emperor.Father Xue did not choose him, mainly because Father Xue felt that the conditions of the champion were too good. Although there was an imperial decree from the emperor to bestow marriage, Father Xue thought it would be better not to let the emperor think that the Xue family was too ambitious.

In addition, Tanhua's family is much more prominent than Deng's family, unlike Deng's family with two or three big cats and small cats. Tanhua's family is full of talents, but because there are too many people, Xue's father has no choice, mainly because one is from a Jiangnan family, The Xue family was originally a Jiangnan family, and they had a deep understanding of Jiangnan. The Tanhua family and the Zhen family were related by marriage. Father Xue still remembered how the Zhen family collapsed. Naturally, he would not push his daughter into the fire pit.

The decree of bestowing marriage came down, and Xue Chi was wondering if he could be of any help, but unexpectedly, when the decree came, the Zhao brothers said that it was time to leave Beijing, so Xue Chi had no choice but to leave Beijing with them.Because this time Xue Chi did not go to observe normally, but to learn from Yang Gong. In this way, in the future, Xue Jia will spend a long time at the construction site.Mother Xue felt sorry for Xue Jia, so she would not let Xue Jia go out with a few guards and servants like this, but let Xue Zhong follow to take care of Xue Jia.In addition, perhaps because the gunpowder formula has been handed in, Xue Zhi found that the Zhao brothers did not follow him as closely as they did in the first day or two. Although they were still within Xue Zhi's sight, Xue Zhi obviously felt at ease. too much.Although the Zhao brothers are following him now, they feel different, at least they won't go to Father Xue's study like they did on the first day and they are still standing at the door of the study.He still followed him when he went out, not to mention staying close to each other, but he was definitely within sight.In contrast, it is much better at home. Xue Zhi has his own space, but he can find them immediately when looking for them.

Xue Jia took the Zhao brothers and Xue Zhong to the official hall. Xue Zhong can be said to be Xue Zhong's exclusive butler. He took care of Xue Jia when he traveled with Cheng Gong in the south of the Yangtze River. Xue Zhong will not disappoint Xue Zhi when he goes out of Beijing.Xue Chi just went to Yang Gong's trip, and when he came back, he had already had hot water to wash, and the work efficiency of the servants had improved not a little.

Without the trouble of chores, Xue Chi's attention was focused on the reservoir.The construction of reservoirs cannot be accomplished overnight.Xue Chi also only knows the theory and has seen the built reservoirs, but how to build them, to be honest, Xue Chi knows what it is and doesn't know why, and these are what Xue Chi lacks and are also his weaknesses.Although Xue Chi has golden fingers and understands modern technology, his practice has not improved much. He has been studying these years, but it is not enough.

The most important point is Xue Zhi's current mentality. He has always had a low self-esteem and arrogance. He has long discovered that Father Xue and Cheng Gong have also explained it many times, but this mentality does not just let go.He is proud of mastering the technology ahead of this era; he is inferior to the mediocre experience of his previous life.He didn't know if he could take on such a big responsibility. The reservoir could benefit many people, but if something went wrong, it could instantly turn into a life-swallowing demon.

When Xue Chi was reborn, he just thought about how to eat, drink, and live a good life, but later learned that this is the world of the Red Mansion, and there is a great possibility that his family will not die well. In order to maintain a happy life in this life, Xue Chi had to work hard He couldn't read, and his legs trembled when he thought of going to war. Other things didn't do much to change the Xue family's situation. He had to use his only advantage of mastering modern knowledge of physics and chemistry to benefit himself and the Xue family.Things also developed as Xue Chi expected. Although I don't know what the Xue family is like in the original book, as long as the current Xue family doesn't seek death on their own, they will definitely be able to keep their wealth for three generations.

Xue Zhi felt that the fate of the Xue family had changed, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate, and wanted to do something for the people of this era.Flooding has always been a heart disease of the imperial court. If it can be alleviated by one point, it can save a lot of money and save many lives.When Xue Jia proposed the reservoir on the first day of the junior high school, he did not expect that the imperial court would be so bold and decided to build the reservoir so quickly. This made Xue Jia feel that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be a lot heavier for a while. Do your best, although he only has theoretical knowledge, he can also avoid some detours, and Xue Zhi also wants to take the opportunity to further his studies. You must know that building a large reservoir is a pioneering work in this era, and it will definitely gather a lot of talents. At that time, he can contact more people and learn more knowledge.

In this way, Xue Jia stayed at ease in the official hall, contributing his own strength and absorbing knowledge at the same time.
