Chapter 150: Liberal Arts Students Are Naturally Fearful of Chemistry (1 update)
Lu Zerong didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand.
As the third prince, his mother had strictly required him to work hard and study diligently since he was young, so that his father would like him.
With his hard work and a little talent in studying, he became the most intelligent prince in the eyes of the teachers, and his father praised him a lot.
In order to win his father’s praise, he studied hard almost every day, without missing a day. As he grew up, he became more and more outstanding, and his father valued him more and more, and often praised him in the court.
The desire in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He was so outstanding, and his reputation among the Confucian scholars was so loud, what did the prince have?
He just took the title of the eldest son of the Eastern Palace.
He has been doing his job conscientiously, treating people with courtesy and respect, and he has a good reputation. What he lacked was just an opportunity.
Over the years, he has been waiting for the opportunity to replace the prince.
But he never thought that the opportunity would come to him from the prince himself.
This feeling is very strange.
It's like there is a mountain in your heart, and you have always wanted to climb to the top and defeat it.
You keep working hard, keep accumulating strength, and keep trying to get closer to the mountain.
But one day you find that the mountain has moved directly in front of you, and with a bang, it
collapsed.
Success is within your reach.
Judging from the result, he should be happy.
After all, years of expectations have finally come true.
But why is he so strange in his heart?
Especially seeing the prince so impatient to give up the position of prince, as if this position is some terrible plague, it feels very strange.
"Third brother, what do you think of my proposal? Let you be crowned king first, and then become the prince. I think this plan is very good, but third brother, when you become the prince one day, you must protect me! Let me travel freely to famous mountains and rivers!"
Lu Zexu's eyes flashed with anticipation, and his brisk tone was like a bird about to be free.
"Isn't it good to be the prince?" Lu Zerong asked subconsciously.
Lu Zexu said sincerely, "I've been a prince for 12 years, but I don't think it's good. It's a bit boring."
Lu Zerong: "..."
Prince, do you know that you'll get beaten easily if you talk like that?
This man actually threw away the things they desperately wanted to fight for!!
Seeing that the third prince looked wrong, Lu Zexu changed the subject, "Whether it's good to be a prince, you still have to experience it yourself."
The two reached a gentleman's agreement.
The next day, Lu Zerong joined the team playing in the mud.
Even he himself found it incredible.
Just like this for three consecutive days, Lu Zerong turned from an unfamiliar mud worker to a skilled mud worker under Lu Zexu's praise.
It's really ridiculous.
On the fourth day, Lu Zerong finally came to his senses, "Sixth brother, you are not fooling me, are you? Do you want to make me king by playing with mud?"
Lu Zexu said seriously, "Yes."
Lu Zerong: I always feel that I have been fooled.
Suddenly, a book flew towards him, "Third brother is so smart and so good at studying, take a look at this."
Lu Zexu threw him the handwritten basic knowledge of chemistry.
Such a smart brain can't be wasted, it would be great to use it in learning!
Seeing the word "chemistry" on the cover, Lu Zerong frowned, not understanding what it meant.
With his extensive knowledge, he couldn't understand these two words.
He flipped through the pages at random. He usually loved reading. He had been well-read since he was young. In his mind, reading was a kind of enjoyment.
But now, looking at the neat small characters, he knew every word, but why couldn't he understand them together?
What is calcium carbonate?
What is potassium sulfate? What is
gypsum powder? The
more he read, the more confused he became. His brain, which was usually clear and logical no matter what happened, became a mess after reading two pages.
Snap!
Lu Zerong decisively closed the book and said expressionlessly, "I think mud is good and very suitable for me."
Lu Zexu: "..."
This was not what he expected. In order to compile this booklet, he almost read all those chemistry classes. He tried everything that could be tested, and deleted the unsuitable ones before compiling it into a book.
Don't look at this as just a thin booklet, but every word is the essence of his hard work!
When he was compiling it, he had decided to give the task of dissemination to the third prince. He still has a good reputation among the Confucian scholars. If he does this, he will get twice the result with half the effort.
However, he never thought that his third brother had no interest in chemistry at all.
"Third brother, are you really not going to think about it again? As long as you learn it well and teach other students, it is equivalent to creating a new discipline, which can be passed down through the ages!"
Lu Zexu didn't want to give up and continued to fool around.
Lu Zerong was immersed in the mud and was not moved at all. "I'm worried that before I can be passed down through the ages, I will be in trouble."
Lu Zexu sighed, he understood, this is what his sister said about liberal arts students.
Then what about chemistry?
Who should be handed over to inherit
it? You can't let him go into battle himself, right?
Thinking of this, he shook his head suddenly, no, no, he can't get involved in this kind of merit that can be passed down through the ages, otherwise he really can't throw away the position of the prince.
Just when he was worried, the fourth prince Lu Zexian came with a basket of problems.
Yes, our excellent fourth prince was no longer satisfied with pencils and started to study colored pencils.
If you want to make colored pencils, you must add pigments to the refills.
What pigments to add, how much to add, how to blend them in, etc., these are all problems. When
Lu Zerong saw Lu Zexian, he knew that the news he had heard before was true.
Lu Zexian's throne is indeed related to the crown prince, and the relationship is not shallow.
Seeing Lu Zexian coming over, the third prince, as his elder brother, took the initiative to step forward. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw that this person acted as if he didn't see him, and very skillfully brought a chair over, and then entered the question-and-answer session.
Lu Zerong was stunned and didn't even play with the mud. As the questions deepened, his eyes were almost turned into mosquito coils.
Looking at the pale-faced prince holding a pencil, explaining and drawing at the same time, although he was thin, he was calm and composed, and seemed to be giving instructions on the way.
The fourth child was fascinated by what he heard, and he also took notes with his pencil, concentrating very hard.
He didn't understand anything else, but he understood one thing, that the prince really gave the great credit of the pencil to Lu Zexian!
"Why?" Lu Zerong asked suddenly.
He didn't understand, not at all.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why the prince gave such a great credit that could be recorded in history to someone else.
Lu Zexu turned around and looked at the third prince who was like a lost lamb, and smiled brightly, "Third brother, are you still interested in chemistry?"
He quickly handed the book back to him, "I said that, third brother is so smart, well-read, and has been the fastest in learning anything since he was young. How could chemistry be difficult for third brother?"
"This is definitely a piece of cake for third brother!"
Lu Zerong looked at the booklet with chemistry in front of him and came back to his senses.
This is not the end. He took several steps back and waved his hands repeatedly, terrified, "I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Zexu sighed, third brother is harder to fool than fourth brother!
Provocation is useless.
"Xiao Liu, I'll go back and continue the experiment. I'll come to see you when I get the results."
Lu Zexian, who was absorbed in his research, didn't notice the uproar between the two.
Lu Zexu's eyes lit up. He chose the lesser of two evils. Of the two difficult ones, he would naturally choose the easier one.
He turned to look at Lu Zexian and gave him a bright and beautiful smile.
