Chapter 62: Naming the Oil

The king listened to Rou'er saying that he seemed to have seen the girl under the moon, and hurriedly asked. Rou'er told the king that the girl looked like Yuexia, and he didn't know how to talk to him. She saw that the girl looked like other nuns in the temple.

He was very familiar with her, so he inquired about it, and found out that the female donor was planning to escape into Buddhism in the temple.

Wang Pian's face sank and he said angrily: "What are you doing? Why don't you tell me such a big thing quickly?" Rou'er, who stayed there, even though she envied Yuexia in her heart, she also felt aggrieved, and she was a little bit nosey.

Feeling sour. Wang Bian also knew that his tone was harsh, and seeing her looking like she was about to cry, he said, "I'm afraid that Yuexia will really become a nun, so I'm a little anxious. You go take care of my wife first, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

He deliberately said "you guys", and Rou'er also felt a lot better. After Wang Pang said this, he turned around to say goodbye to Yuan Ze and walked out. A laywoman was cleaning in front of Privet Temple. Wang Pang just wanted to go up but thought of something else.

It's not good to admit your mistake. Besides, it's better to respect Buddhism.

Walking up to the woman, Wang Pang took a look and thought that it was probably under the moon. However, there was no jade on her chest and there were scars on her temples, so he guessed that something had happened to her.

Yuexia saw him and pretended not to see him. After observing and summarizing so many micro-expressions, Wang Chenzhou could tell that Yuexia was faking it, so he approached her as if it was serious and asked: "Miss

Is this the place where I want to escape into Buddhism?"[

When I saw the king coming under the moon, I naturally felt very conflicted, but then I thought that even if we recognized each other, I would still be disfigured and lose the jade stone for the engagement. I felt discouraged and said, "Exactly."

Wang listened to her voice and knew it was Yue Xia. Seeing the scars on her face, he felt very sorry for her, but he was afraid that if he pressed Yue Xia for some reason, it would be even harder to find her if she left. So he asked

: "The girl must have encountered some kind of disaster."

Yuexia still answered with two words: "No"

Wang Pang approached the moonlight and whispered, "If you don't go through great tribulations and enter Buddhism, how can a girl see through the world of mortals?"

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the answer they would get would be: "Can I tell you?" But this is Wang Pang Yue's unmarried husband-in-law, not to mention that the two of them already have feelings for each other.

Yuexia replied: "When a person thinks about illness, his worldly thoughts will naturally subside; when he thinks about death, his thoughts on the Tao will arise. If you take refuge in Buddhism, you will gain eternal life, so why do you have to go through great tribulations?"

When Wang Pang saw this, he said: "When I was in Chenzhou, I also had the desire to die. Before I was born, I had a woman by my side. It was like being reborn." After saying this, he looked at the moonlight, and it turned out that the moonlight was true.

He was told that he shed tears. When Wang Pang saw this, he said: "Girl, how can you become a monk now that your worldly fate is over? Why don't you come back with me?"

Seeing that Yue Xia was still hesitant, Wang Pang guessed that it was related to her disloyalty and said that he could find the royal medicine. At that time, the emperor wanted to reward Lord Di Qing with the word "to remove complexion". This word can also remove scars, which is a big deal.

Seeing that Yuexia's clothes were thin, he untied his cloak and put it on Yuexia's body and said, "If you don't want to go back with me, then I will get cold here." He hugged his shoulders and made a cold look.

It would be a bit cold in the twelfth lunar month now without this fur cloak. Seeing this, Yue Xia was coaxed a little happy by Wang Pang, so he told the story about the lost jade. After hearing this, Wang Pang thought to himself, it was a blessing in disguise. If the jade had not been broken, I would not have seen Yue Xia again.

Then he took off his own jade and said: "Don't listen that only jade can match each other. There are so many jade stones in the world. If you let me marry them all, what will you do?"

There was a smile on Yuexia's face and she said: "Then if you can marry me, then marry me, I don't care."

Wang Pang said sincerely: "Master Di promised me your people, not your jade."

After Yuexia heard this, he was completely elated. Wang Bian did not feel that the scar on his face was an eyesore. He looked at Yuexia and smiled. He felt very proud in his heart. Once he was proud, he got carried away. He recalled that Jia Baoyu met Lin Daiyu for the first time in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and saw that Daiyu didn't "

"Psychic gem", so he took off the "psychic gem" hanging on his head and threw it away, saying, "I don't want this trouble anymore!" This paragraph

So I thought, "Sister, I don't have a psychic jade, so I don't want this trouble anymore!"

He just said it casually, but girl Yuexia took it seriously. As a result, he turned around and threw the jade into a dry well nearby. He said, "Wait for me here while I go to say goodbye to Master." After that, he turned around and packed his things.

The king stood by the well for luck, and wanted to get the jade, but he saw that the well was quite deep, and it would not be good for others to see it. Finding it under the moon seemed to be more important than the jade. He sighed and smiled bitterly.

The two returned home happily, but Xiao Lu was happy and hurriedly arranged a room for girl Yuexia. The room was almost decorated, Yuexia was sitting on the bed and smiling, but Wang Pang looked a little distracted.

Wang Pang is really interested in kissing Fangze. It is not easy to find her under the moon. Wang Pang is a young man at heart but an adult. It is inevitable that this adult will think about adult things.

Under this moon, even without the jade, one could tell what Wang Pang was thinking. Seeing Wang Pang walking in, Wang Pang was busy saying: "Young master, you can't do it. Firstly, I have been keeping filial piety for less than three years. Secondly, I haven't officially married yet. This is just in case."

If you spread the word, you will be laughed at."[

The word "nujia" made Wang Pangnai's heart tingle, but he saw that Yuexia was not just half-hearted, but actually walked out of the house just like that. Wang Pangnai sighed, after searching for a long time, he still had to wait.

Thinking about the important matter of his marriage to Yuexia, he couldn't just prevaricate it casually, especially with Wang Pang's current status.

Since he agreed to Yuexia's treatment, he went to see Shen Kuo first the next day. Wang Pang admired Shen Kuo very much, not to mention that Shen Kuo came to heal his facial injury. In comparison, he was unwilling to go to the palace manager.

What kind of medicine should I get?

Wang Pang came to Shen Kuo's house and handed over his name card. After a while, the housekeeper came out and took Wang Pang to the hall. Wang Pang was still thinking, now that Shen Kuo has become a capital official, is this a big deal?

When he entered the room, he saw Shen Kuo gesturing towards him, telling him to speak softly. The king looked at the bowls, pots, whetstones and other things that Shen Kuo had made. He didn't know what he was holding. He saw Shen Kuo picking up the things that fell on the floor.

When a needle fell, I used a strand of cocoon silk extracted from the silk cotton, smeared it with mustard seeds, and tied it in the middle of the needle. I looked around the room for a long time, hung the silk cotton on the corner of the table, and squatted down.

Then look at it, watch it for a while and record it.

After Shen Kuo finished writing, he put away his needle and thread. This time he walked up to Wang Pang and wanted to pat Wang Pang's shoulder. Suddenly, he discovered that Wang Pang had not grown taller and stronger in the past year. He actually had the figure of an adult. The year before last, he was still a

A thin child. It seems that he can still pat Wang Pang on the shoulder and talk, but now it seems that he can only pat Wang Pang on the arm.

But despite this, I was still very happy. He still said like an old naughty boy: "Brother Ruo, you are here. I really miss you."

Seeing him like this, Wang Bian didn't care that he had just ignored him for a while, and told Shen Kuo his intention. Shen Kuo said: "For such a small thing, just send someone to pick it up, and you have to come to the door in person. I was just trying to find time to go there."

Look at you."

Wang Pang said: "How can I let my brother go to me? I have brought you something."

He brought nothing else to Shen Kuo, but "fragrant cakes". Shen Kuo was naturally happy and promised Wang Pang to personally prepare the ointment and deliver it to his house.

Wang Pang was also happy when he heard this. Seeing Shen Kuo's room like this, he asked, "Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

Shen Kuo pulled him and said, "Look, experts grind magnets into needles, so they can point to the south. However, they are often slightly to the east, not always due south. If they are placed on water, they often vibrate and sway in their hands or on the side of a bowl. This may happen. It's very fast, but it's easy to slip and fall on hard and smooth surfaces."

He demonstrated while talking, and then said: "When the brothers came in just now, the needle on the nail fell off."

Wang Pang immediately understood after seeing it that Shen Kuo was talking about the compass. Seeing Shen Kuo, he said: "But among these methods, hanging is the best. Even if you just saw it? In this method, the needle always points to the south. Some needles point to the north. Brothers, do you know what the truth is?"

The expression on Wang Pang's face didn't seem to be a rhetorical question. Wang Pang was just about to say: "The earth is a big magnet. Its magnetic south pole is near the geographical north pole, and its magnetic north pole is near the geographical south pole. The compass is affected by the magnetic force in the earth's magnetic field. So one end points to the north and the other to the north."

Wang Pang was afraid that Shen Kuo was asking him about the earth, the North and South Poles, etc. So Xiaoxiao immediately shut up. He was relieved when he saw that Shen Kuo didn't really want the answer, but was talking to himself.

Shen Kuo talked endlessly about his research,

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Kuo heard that Wang Pang had been to Yanzhou. He said, "Yanzhou is a good place. If you have heard of it, Gaonu County produces fatty water."

Wang Pang shook his head. He had never heard of this. Shen Kuo said: "This fat water is produced by the water, mixed with sand and gravel and spring water, and slowly flows out. The locals use pheasant tails to dip it up and collect it. In a clay pot.”

"This oil is very similar to pure paint. It burns like burning hemp poles, but it emits very thick smoke, and the tents it has touched turn black."

Wang Pang frowned and listened to him, and saw Shen Kuo patting his chest and saying: "I suspected that this kind of smoke could be used, so I tried to sweep its bituminous coal into it to make ink. The luster of the ink is like black paint, which is pine ink." It can’t even compare to it.”

"Did you know that coal (a kind of bituminous coal) emits a lot of smoke when it burns, and it will blacken your clothes? I happily joked and made a poem "Yanzhou":

Wang Pang smiled and asked, "Does this fragrant cake have smoke?" [

Shen Kuo also smiled: "If you are still good, brother, you will tell me how to make this fragrant cake later."

Wang Pang smiled and thought to himself: This was my patent in the Song Dynasty. I tell you, just write it in "Mengxi Bi Tan".

However, Shen Kuo was just minding his own business and said: "There is a lot of Yanchuan stone liquid. It is produced in the ground and is exhausted. It is not like pine trees that are used up at a certain time. Now the pine forests in Shandong have been exhausted, and even the Taihang Mountains have been harvested. Most of the mountains with pine trees in the west of Beijing and south of the Yangtze River are now bare."

He looked at Wang Pang and said, "If brothers are interested, we can mass-produce it and label it with a name. I think this ink called "Yanchuan Stone Liquid" will be widely popular in the world in the future. Brother, do you have a good name for it?"

Wang listened for a long time and said: "Oil!"
