Chapter 275: Visiting the door
It is slightly different from the waterwheel that was built on the river bank in his previous life, Chen Zhongxin has transformed it into a toy waterwheel that can be used without running water.
The little maid used a large square wooden basin to fetch water.
Zhen Shiniang put the waterwheel in and held the handle and shook it.
The water in the large wooden basin is embedded at the top of the spokes of the shaft and is filled with small bamboo tubes. As the shaft rotates, it is lifted up, and then it reaches the top and then slowly tilts. It is injected into the sink made of wood below and follows the fixed wood. The groove slowly flowed forward, and was finally taken to a small basin by the little maid.
When I saw this kind of water-lifting utensil for the first time, the little maids were both curious and excited, and chattered.
Just as the fun was having fun, a little maid hurried in and replied, "The Princess of Nanjun is here to pay homage to the wife." She handed over the Princess of Nanjun with both hands.
Princess of Nanjun?
Zhen Shiniang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the jade bracelet, and hurriedly led the little maid to greet her.
"...I'd like to bother Mrs. Chen to let go." It was said that it was a rude that the Princess of Nanjun raised her head and looked at Zhen Shiniang with a arrogant look.
She wore a bean-green ice flower right-sided kesi jacket, and a silver fox fur vest on the outside. The snow-white standing collar set off a stunning little face as white as thin porcelain. The black black hair simply tied a lily bun , Plum Blossom Hairpin made of East Beads with uniform size and color. East Beads are precious, and it is even rare to find a hundred East Beads with uniform size and smooth luster. Let’s look at the plump and round earlobes. The previous pair of emerald magnolia earrings are exquisite and elegant. They exude simplicity. This is the so-called low-key luxury, right?
The princess couldn't help but take a breath and said to herself, "It seems that the rumors outside are true. General Chen really spoiled her!"
A few Eastern beads are fine, but this silver fox fur is rare.
She came to visit rashly and didn't say hello in advance. Zhen Shiniang picked up the letter and didn't have time to change clothes and dress up. This means that her outfit is home. She is the princess of the county and only has a silver fox skin. The cloak is only a few serious scenes a year before you can wear it.
Zhen Shiniang actually took it to make home clothes!
In an instant, the Princess of Nanjun put away his contempt and secretly became a little cautious.
Zhen Shiniang was also looking at the Princess of Nanjun.
The princess was in her forties and wore a colorful silk back. She was covered with a red golden velvet cloak all over the ground. She was a peacock on her head and shone with green glow. She looked graceful, with a straight back. An unattainable majesty.
She dressed so dazzlingly, did she want to give me a warning?
Zhen Shiniang smiled coldly in her heart. Her expression remained unchanged. "...It's cold outside. The princess of Nanjun came into the house to speak." There was no humble words such as "failure to welcome". Zhen Shiniang was elegant in character, calm in tone, and a little more imposing. Not inferior to the Princess of Nanjun.
Seeing Zhen Shiniang reaching out her hand, the Princess of Nanjun hesitated for a moment, and then took her affectionately into the house. It was impossible to tell that it was the first time the two of them met each other positively. They were all feeling a little excited.
The close maid behind the princess couldn't help but blink.
After all, her princess even said a polite word that came out of vain. Why didn't this person say a word of humility?
Then I remembered that although Zhen Shiniang was just a fourth-rank traveling doctor, she was loved by the Queen Mother and was also a genuine uncrowned princess. At the birthday party of Mrs. Zheng, her princess was not qualified to have a table with Concubine Zheng, but she arranged it for her When they arrived at that table, the maids immediately suppressed their displeasure and changed into a friendly expression and smiled at Qiuju.
The little maid had just poured the water from the wooden basin and was carefully wiping the water truck when she saw Zhen Shiniang walking in with the Princess of Nanjun and stood on both sides to pay tribute.
"...What is this?" Princess of Nanjun looked at the waterwheel on the table curiously.
"...water wheel." Zhen Shiniang said carelessly, "it is used to lift water to irrigate the farmland."
Irrigate farmland?
The Princess of Nanjun's eyes lit up and bent down in disbelief, "So small?" How to irrigate it?
With a serious expression on the princess' face, Zhen Shiniang was stunned and patiently explained, "This is a miniature, and it was transformed for the child to play with."
"...How can I carry water on just such a big wheel?" The Princess of Nanjun strode the water truck unyieldingly.
"Put this large shaft wheel in the running water, and the turbulent water flow will push the wheels to rotate..." After explaining the principle of the water wheel, Zhen Shiniang simply turned around and ordered the maid, "...get a basin of water."
"There is no flowing water in the house, and I am afraid that the child will be in danger of going to the river, so I specially modified a handle that can be shaken..." Putting the water wheel in a wooden basin, Zhen Shiniang personally held the handle for the Princess of Nanjun to demonstrate.
Seeing the water in the large wooden basin being transported up one by one, flowing along the wooden trough to the basin designated by Zhen Shiniang, the princess of Nanjun couldn't help but sigh, "Really, there are such skilled craftsmen in this world!" I forgot
The princess’ noble identity, she took the handle and shook it herself, looking at the flowing water in the wooden trough, "Last year, the southwest was drought. If this water wheel had pumped the Li River water to irrigate the farmland, why would the prince be exhausted?
, a serious illness."
There is no water truck in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Zhen Shiniang looked at the Princess of Nanjun a little disbelief.
When visiting the waterwheel in her previous life, the tour guide once explained that the waterwheel originated in the Sui Dynasty and was popular in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the history in her memory, I listened back and forth to Shen Zhongqing to tell allusions, the history before the Song Dynasty and her previous life were basically
It is of the same origin, and it has been relatively vague since the Yuan Dynasty. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has hardly been mentioned. Zhen Shiniang has always guessed that this era has deviated from the historical trajectory of her previous life since the Tang Dynasty.
However, according to this guess, the water trucks should have appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty long ago?
Could it be that some major changes have happened in this time and space since the Tang Dynasty and have been lost?
"...why?" Seeing Zhen Shiniang's eyes confused, the Princess of Nanjun stopped the movements in her hand.
"The Prince of Nanjun is guarding the southwest?" After coming back to his senses, Zhen Shiniang took the handkerchief handed by Qiuju and wiped the Princess Nanjun himself, "...No wonder I have never seen you several times before."
The Princess of Nanjun was a little confused.
Her words seemed to not know her at all. Could it be that... the jade bracelet that framed Xiang'er was not a conspiracy?
Thinking of the purpose of this, the princess suddenly realized that she had already talked with Zhen Shiniang without realizing it. Zhen Shiniang had a tranquility that could make people clear their guard. When she smiled gently, the princess actually turned on again.
I can't show the arrogant attitude I just had at the door.
Knowing that it was time to be stern, but seeing Zhen Shiniang wipe her hands with a smile, like a close friend in her boyfriend, the princess said no harsh words, she followed Zhen Shiniang and said, "The prince guards the southwest capital."
It has been almost ten years. During this period, I have only come back with the prince three times. Few people who go to Beijing know me..." He sighed, "If it weren't for the sake of my niece, the prince wouldn't let me come with me.
”
niece?
Zhen Shiniang remembered what Shi Hu had investigated before that Grandma Zheng was the eldest daughter of Anbohou, Nanping, and the princess of Nan County was Anbohou's sister, and said to herself, "Is she actually here for Grandma Zheng to go to Beijing? ”
His eyebrows frowned slightly.
She came because of Grandma Zheng, and I wonder why Prince Nan is?
At this sensitive time, the Prince of Nan suddenly returned to the court. Is it a good or bad thing to the Northwest Horse Market that Chen Zhongqing advocated?
The thought flashed, and Zhen Shiniang asked casually, "...Is it making her niece sick?" She turned around and ordered the maid, "Clean the water truck." While smiling, she pulled the princess of Nanjun to sit down and took the maid's presentation. The tea was handed to her, "The princess tastes it, this is the new Tieguanyin this year." She said, "...I'm a little familiar with Qihuang, you can find it right when you come to me."
After taking the tea and putting it aside, the Princess of Nanjun looked a little embarrassed, and said with a tough bullet to the purpose of this, "... The little girl is ignorant, please be more tolerant to Mrs. Chen." She looked at Zhen Shiniang, "That bracelet... …”
"...Is it actually the daughter of the daughter?" Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized, turned her head and ordered the maid to bring the jewelry box, take out the jade bracelet in front of the princess and handed it to her, "...Is the princess talking about this?" she smiled, "Yesterday," General also scolded Brother Wen and Wu and asked me to put it away. When he found out whose daughter he was, he would give it back to him early." He looked at the princess sincerely, "Brother Wen and Wu were fighting a naughty little , Princess must not mind.”
It's not a conspiracy!
Seeing that the jade bracelet was actually taken by Zhen Shiniang himself, it was not as the Prince of Nan guessed. It was deliberately hung by Chen Zhongqing to slander his daughter's innocence and force herself to submit, all of whom were The villain's heart is judged by a gentleman, and when he smiles calmly at Zhen Shiniang, the princess's face is even more embarrassed.
She said tactfully, "I shouldn't have asked for it, but my daughter's things are not easy to leak out." She turned around and took a pair of Huang Chengcheng's long-lived locks from the maid and handed them to Zhen Shiniang, " ...The first time I came here, I don’t know what the young master likes, so I don’t respect me, and I hope Mrs. Chen will accept it with a smile." She did not have the airs of being arrogant and princess, and her humble and flattering tone seemed to be asking for a house to come and curry favor.
Seeing that it was clearly her fault, Zhen Shiniang made the princess apologize and give gifts when she turned around. As if she had done a huge loss, Qiu Ju couldn't help but smile.
After all, he is a princess and has a noble status. When he comes to ask for the jade bracelet from him, he will naturally take out something to supplement it. Zhen Shiniang didn't take it too well, so she reached out and took it, and was shocked.
Looking at the two fists-sized ordinary long-lived locks, I didn't expect that they were actually solid!
The real gold with pure gold, weighs three or four or two.
This really took a piece of wood to exchange for four taels of gold!
Zhen Shiniang raised her head in shock.
After all, he is the general. Long live the most popular celebrity around him. Prince Nan dared not offend him, so he created these two long-lived locks overnight. When he saw Zhen Shiniang, he finally showed a shocked expression. The princess was in a good mood. .
Finally got some face back! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
