Chapter 1158

Molina did not come in together, but stood at the door.

The grandfather and granddaughter seem to have made a big conflict. When entering the house, the boat can clearly feel that the old man is a little embarrassed to face her.

It's not clear about the contradiction between the two people, and Lu Zhou doesn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. After explaining his own intention, he quietly follows the steps of the old man to the wall hanging oil painting at the stairway.

The man in the painting has dark blonde curly hair and the still popular bracket bangs. His young features are peaceful and peaceful, which is not in line with his age And a little bit of cool.

Although compared with myself, it's a little less interesting, but it's already very good.

But in addition, there seems to be no clue on it, just a simple portrait.

"The painting was made in 1835 It is said that it was created by a little famous Norwegian painter at that time according to the oral statement of his relatives. " Standing behind the boat, the old man said.

In fact, this relative is actually Professor Abel's fiancee, but he hesitated for a while and finally selectively concealed this point.

Taking back his sight from the oil painting, Lu Zhou looked at the old man and asked curiously.

"So it's almost two hundred years old."

"Well, this is probably the most valuable thing in this room It doesn't cost much. "

At that time, the old man couldn't remember how much it cost. But I think even my salary can afford it. It shouldn't be a very expensive thing.

After all, not everyone is interested in the portraits of mathematicians. Besides, he is a "short-lived" genius. If he doesn't have a special hobby, the people who can afford a lot of money will not buy it to collect it. Maybe the museum will be willing to buy the painting, but it is also difficult to offer a high price.

The precipitation of time doesn't mean anything. The value of money depends on the artist's fame, who he painted, and the background of his work.

"Apart from the oil painting and the notes, is this all Professor Abel's remains?"

The old man nodded.

"That's all."

He nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly said.

"To put it, I've always had a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"It is said that Professor Abel never married. You are his By blood? "

Hearing this question, the old man's face suddenly floated an embarrassed look, and his eyes dodged to one side.

“…… Maybe. "

Maybe?

Looking at the faltering old man, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and vaguely guessed something, so he turned off the topic that might cause embarrassment.

"Where did you get these things?"

"From a collector."

Asked the boat at once.

"Can you still contact him? I mean, can you introduce him to me? "

The old man shook his head and said.

"That guy died years ago. I'm afraid I can't help you. If you are interested in Professor Abel's remains, those notes are all. Although I didn't expect my granddaughter would give them all to you, but In short, I hope you can take good care of them. "

Caught the old man's eyes flashed a trace of shame, and Lu Zhou affirmed his own guess.

Sure enough, most of the descendants of the so-called Professor Abel were self appointed by the old man. In his impression, the genius who only lived in his twenties had only one fiancee. He ignored the illegitimate child, and the possibility of leaving offspring was almost negligible.

The reason why Molina's mood was so unstable last night is that she knew about it.

Thinking of the resistance that Molina showed on her face when she was at the door just now, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and suddenly said.

"Your granddaughter was very excited last night Ah, I don't mean that. "

"I know. It looks like you've seen it. It's a bad lie, right?"

Understand what Lu Zhou wants to say, the old man's eyes flashed a trace of dispirited.

He shook his head, his tone filled with remorse, and muttered, "I can't help it Who would have thought that her father would take it seriously? By the time I realized it, it had become like this. "

Looking at the regretful expression on the old man's face, Lu zhousighed and said softly.

"I think the reason why she was so angry and excited must not be because she was not the descendant of Professor Abel, but because her closest friend cheated herself And cheated for nearly 30 years. "

Lineage is meaningless for science, just as most genius ideas are born by chance. A great scholar was born in this world because of the necessity of history. But when it comes to individuals in civilization, it is more of an accident.Perhaps the descendants of scholars have more advantages in education than their peers, and are more likely to be influenced by their parents in their choice of major. But there is no such thing as becoming a scientist.

After a pause, the boat continued.

“…… Although an outsider of mine doesn't have such a position, I suggest that you should apologize frankly with her. "

The old man shook his head painfully and said, "she will not forgive me, nor will I forgive myself..."

"It's up to her to decide whether she forgives you, as for the latter..." Lu Zhou paused and continued, "in fact, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I can see that her passion for mathematics is because she really likes it. Although qualification is born with no way, I don't think she has embarked on a wrong road."

"As for the expectations she imposed on herself, it would be better if there were no more."

The so-called self accusation is just because you think your lies have affected your granddaughter's life. But at least in the eyes of the outsider, things are not what the old man thinks.

It is impossible to stick to this path for more than 20 years just by relying on the sense of mission imposed on oneself.

For Molina, knowing the truth is a good thing.

At least, be able to put your mind in order.

Although it is difficult to reach the height of first-line scholars with her talent, she is already the best among second-line scholars. If you concentrate on your research, you will have no chance to touch the edge of the fields prize before you are 40 years old.

Of course, as for whether it can be touched, that's another matter.

After all, the transformation from the second-line scholars to the first-line scholars is not only the hard work.

In addition to hard work, a little bit of luck is needed.

People who can completely ignore the factors of luck to do this, no matter what era, are rare.

After listening to the words of Lu Zhou, the old man was silent for a while.

It was a long time before he said.

"Thank you. Maybe you're right."

Looking at the expression on his face, Lu Zhou, who felt happy for him, nodded gently.

"Just a suggestion."
