Chapter [-] Proper

In spring, the season of recovery of all things, the vast and desolate yellow land seems to be covered with green clothes overnight, accompanied by the slightest morning breeze, yellow and tender fresh grass, yellow and tender tree buds, and sparrows chirping on the eaves Arguing with each other, running happily in the garden, rolling on the freshly green grass from time to time, screaming cheerfully, and the needle nose sprinting from time to time, simulating chasing, improving its ability to hunt prey Skill.Daily morning exercises can keep you in a good mood throughout the day. Gossip and dragon palms are no problem, and life-threatening scissor kicks are even more elusive. Now you need to focus on exercising your lower body, flying legs, chopping and so on. The corresponding '嗤嗤' yelled twice to increase the cultivation of momentum. The voice looked like Wangcai but looked like Bruce Lee.

In the garden in the early morning, when the family of three is in harmony, all the servants avoid the house, and there are only three people in the huge garden who want to do whatever they want.Ying and the second daughter's radio gymnastics have been superb. After the second daughter hastily finished playing, they called the needle nose to go to work in a hurry. Ying Jiawangcai and I fully enjoyed the fun of sports during this period of time. Life is like this good.

Sweating all over, facing the rising sun, I sat under a ginkgo tree that was only as thick as a teacup and took a nap for a while. Usually at this time Ying would come to chat with me about some cheerful topics. Whose family has a new child, a certain princess went crazy because of the loss of precious jewelry, etc., although these are all rumors that the gentlemen dismissed, but talking about them between husband and wife is also very interesting, and it has a special taste.

"Oh? What kind of solar term is this? I can't keep up with the work in the field. Why are they all marrying wives?" Ying told me happily that Zhuangzi had no less than 20 daughters and young men who left the court in the past month, and they were all married. Some of them were married in this village, and the girls in other villages were jealous.To marry a daughter-in-law, you have to calculate a good day according to the fate of the young couple. It is rare to get married in a bunch. "It's abnormal. It's just a happy event. Give the presents solidly, let the young couple be happy, and let's enjoy the joy of others."

"That's right, it's very rare." Ying took out a sweat towel and came out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "It's related to the rumors. The scorpion tigers in the capital now say that the emperor will customize the marriage age after changing the year name. He is less than 17 years old." His daughter is not allowed to leave the court. Now that the reign name has been changed, people are panicking and rushing to marry their daughters, fearing that the imperial order will change, and the daughters will have to take care of her in-laws for another three to five years.” When the sweat broke out, it was probably cold I got up, got up on the stone table, took a cloak and put it on, and said with a smile: "The biography is well-organized, just like the real thing. I am really full."

"This..." I was a little confused about the doorway inside. I remembered that this was said by the couple in Nanlinyuan and the Li family. But Lanling was not there at the time, but now it has spread among the people. I hope it is Li. The couple spread rumors with their big mouths.Don't really let the emperor know.Cautiously asked: "If this is really changed... Ma'am, what do you think?"

"Oh?" Ying was a little uncomfortable with my respectful tone, and looked at me carefully.Smiling and pushing me, "I killed my concubine, why is my husband speaking like that. I feel really embarrassed to hear that."

"Don't worry about the tone of voice, just say what you think." Ying can be said to be a typical representative of traditional people, and her ideas are the ideas of the vast majority of people, so it is necessary to do some research.

"I don't think so, it's obviously fake, and I believe the rumors." Ying disdain to participate in the rumors in the market, "How is it possible? The emperor is so busy, after fighting this one and that one. The surroundings are not even yet, and I can manage other people's marriages. Is it? But having said that, if the emperor is free, maybe he can make a fuss. The emperor in the previous dynasty was very lenient and changed everything, all because of his temper." Speaking of which is a bit awkward. Too sure, "Husband, you said this can't be true, right?"

"This..." I don't think it's easy to decide.After all, the Li family couple and Lan Ling knew each other.Naturally, it's hard for a man to talk about it, and he won't discuss this issue with Lan Ling.But the Li family's mother-in-law is hard to say.In case Mrs. Li thinks my nonsense is justified, it is also possible that after discussing with Lan Ling, Lan Ling will run to the emperor to analyze the pros and cons. "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. The key is what do you think about this matter?"

"Oh, I don't have any opinion, let's make trouble for no reason." Ying disagrees, "If it's a rumor, then don't comment, after all, there are more rumors that are more evil than this. If it's true..." The little face was a little bit bitter, and she frowned "I can't blame the emperor. How can the emperor waste his energy on this matter? There must be slanderous rumors about right and wrong in the court," he said, biting his lips, and said angrily: "Kill a thousand swords, cut alive I can't understand the hatred. What can the fourth child do? He said that he has hope after seeing the big scene, but he is not yet 17!"

"This..." I was very depressed. After all, no one wants to let their wife chop more than 1000 knives and have to cut them alive.What Ying said was a thief, she didn't blame the emperor because she couldn't cut him into pieces, so she used the slanderous person to talk about right and wrong, which could relieve her anger, but what she wanted to cut was Feijing, so she sat by and listened …With no confidence, he said weakly: "Maybe it's a good thing, but it's not necessarily..."

"It's fake anyway," Ying clapped her hands and stood up, unwilling to spend more time on this depressing question.Thinking of something, she leaned over to look at me, and said with a smile: "But then again, didn't the husband say the same? A good second daughter, if you want to have a good appearance, you have to have a thoughtful mind, why do you have to wait and wait... "

"Boring!" Give her a blank stare, don't get entangled with Ying, just come over and ask Lan Ling later. "Eat, eat, hungry."

Very upset, it seems that Ying does not support it, and if Ying does not support it, it means that most of the people do not support it.It’s fine if it’s a rumor. If the emperor really has such a plan, then he’s under a lot of pressure. Although there won’t be a big crisis, he must fight against the tradition... No matter, I can’t blame it anyway. Roll a pancake first.

Lanling looks very good, since he came back from Fenghe, he has always been cheerful, everything he sees is pleasing to the eye, he even praised my two broken characters, saying that I have studied hard and practiced hard, and I have made great progress.Now I insist on writing eight to ten characters every day, usually "Wang Xiu Wang Zihao mentions a gift..." and write a few words over and over again.

"What good things did you bring today?" Lan Ling never came empty-handed when he came here recently, bringing snacks and small gifts from time to time.Today was no exception, Lan Ling carried a small box in his hand, and he grabbed it and opened it before she could speak.A finely crafted copper ruler appeared in front of me. In order to prevent the four corners from being worn out, copper coats were specially wrapped on both sides, but it was of no use to me. It would be better to bring some snacks from the palace. "Okay, not bad, but there are several in my family..."

"Look carefully before talking," Lan Ling picked up the pancakes I prepared for her and started eating.She no longer eats breakfast at her own home. In her words: Since she is your mother-in-law, it is only natural to support me. If you don't let me feed you from morning to night, it will be cheaper for you.

Holding the copper ruler in my hand, I turned it over to find out the mystery of it. The fine scale was made finely, and the unit of 'fen' was neatly divided, adding a more precise unit - milli.It is divided by the width of one millet in the northern millet.In other words, the definition of this era is the height of a grain of yellow rice.Lanling ingeniously divided the 'fen' into four parts, and made a 'centi', divided into inches and inches to feet.They are all in decimal, but only the 'milli' to 'fen' has become quaternary.It seems unreasonable, but such a precise measuring device is already original in this era, because it is really difficult to average the "points" into ten parts.In this era, there is no need for such a precise unit, and the craftsmanship is simply not up to this standard.In particular, this 'millimeter' is already shorter than the length of the 'millimeter' in the 21st century. I don't know how she divided it.

"Can you be sure of the accuracy of this 'millimeter' division?" It's so dense that my eyes are dazzled. This kind of unit can no longer be distinguished by the naked eye, and it belongs to microscopic measuring tools.

"It's not me, it's measured by the Ministry of Industry. Now it's just divided in half, which can't be said to be accurate. In the future, I plan to propose this 'centi' as the minimum basic measurement. Re-establish a special weight and measure for the weapon workshop." Two pancakes, took out a handkerchief and wiped them clean, took the ruler and explained to me: "In the future, folks will still use one side with 'fen' as the smallest unit." Turning it over, pointing to the dense scale, "As for this side with 'fen' Milli's have not yet been formed. In the future, the Ministry of Industry will customize a set of weighing and measuring rules. The "milli" will be proposed to establish a basic measurement method. It is still decimal, and 10 milli is 1 "working inch". 10'working inch' is 1'working ruler', which is only used on equipment, and has nothing to do with the current ground inch and ruler.

Oh, understand, I nodded.That is to say, the folk remains unchanged, but the new scale is used in special workshops, which is not much different from the domestic situation in the 21st century. In the 21st century, international standards are used in factories, but tailors still measure and cut clothes by size and inch, and everyone does not interfere with others.

"It's amazing. If you can make this set, the level of craftsmanship will be improved a lot in the future." You can't underestimate the creativity of the ancients. If you let me go, there is absolutely no way to make such a thing. Just right, your 'caliper' (the measuring tool used to measure inner and outer diameters in iron workshops in ancient times, the principle of a vernier caliper, but the workmanship is much simpler. When Lan Ling and I were studying physics, we used to spend a lot of money to build a relatively fine caliper, and we often took it out Show off, measure the outer diameter of chopsticks, etc.) and you can use it."

"En," Lan Ling nodded, proudly said: "You didn't expect that, did you? The student surpassed the master this time, do you know who suggested it?"

"Who else could it be? It must be you." No need to ask, except for Lan Ling, Qin Yu, Cheng Chu and I learned these useless things. Although Qin Yu made rapid progress, most of them relied on self-study. Take me back a copy of my dictation and Lanling records and take it away. Even after more than a year in the frontier, I have not stopped. When I have time, I will send my learning experience and homework back to someone.Cheng Chu didn't learn these materials, and he just stayed in the "learning" link. You teach him to learn, and you are happier if you don't teach him. Especially after becoming a coach, he almost tried not to mention learning to me, unless Cheng The old man was so desperate that he couldn't help it, so he came here to pretend for a day. Now that old man Cheng is out of the fortress, he is even more lawless. It's too late to be happy, so he can come to school when he is free.One is busy with military affairs, and the other is elm lumps, and only Lan Ling has time to deal with these.

"It's a mistake this time," Lan Ling blinked, and said with a smile, "it's due to the inheritance. Only those who have been in the military for a long time have this insight." As he spoke, he came to sit next to him, and said softly: " The concubine is a woman from a Taoist family, so with such a great ability, wouldn't you be a little stupid, sir? This time I can do as you like."

"It's good to be silly, but the key is to know that you are a smart person when you see you," he took the copper ruler and put it in the box to tidy up.It's a freak, the first product of my influence that has nothing to do with me, the same thing as the Future Soldier.Out of sight, out of mind, as if it never appeared. "It's not easy for a fool to pretend to be smart and a smart person to pretend to be stupid. Otherwise, how could there be people in Chang'an vying for the wedding?" Compared with the new weights and measures, I am more concerned about this matter. well.

"That's right, people are weird lately, and they gather together for weddings. Maybe it's the solar terms?" Lan Ling looked around, and found that there was nothing to do. He took out an emerald headdress from his armband and put it on his hair, shaking his head. , charmingly said: "Is this hairpin taking advantage of others?"

"While," I glanced perfunctorily, there were several hairpins on the bun, and I couldn't see which one she had inserted. "I asked you about your marriage. Don't interrupt. Make it clear, don't say you don't know."

"This matter," Lan Ling smiled indifferently, "Does it have something to do with us?" Seeing how long my face was pulled down, he said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, the face of a horse is like a horse, and it fell to the ground on the board .Did you hear that something about the age of marriage will be promulgated?"

"That's why I'm asking you, don't pretend to be stupid." I turned my head while Lan Ling was looking around.Recounted the conversation with Ying in the morning to Lan Ling, "You absolutely know about this matter, and it is absolutely related to this matter. For this, my mother-in-law will cut me alive."

"What does it have to do with you?" Lan Ling laughed when he heard my narration, "Even if I know it, it's just a small talk, it's the Holy Majesty's decision. It has nothing to do with others."

"Don't say that I said something that offends others. Even if I started it, I will never admit it!" Just kidding, it is my bad idea to let others know this matter, and I will be killed if I don't get hacked As pointed out, it is inevitable to go out and suffer from black bricks and the like. "At that time, he was talking nonsense without knowing the door. The emperor was right if he didn't make a joke after hearing it. He really can accept it."

"What a joke. It's serious talk, not slander." Lan Ling straightened my clothes.He smiled and said: "Don't worry, this matter will not fall on you, and it will definitely not fall on me. Even if it is settled, it will not be as you imagined. It will not be forced to act, or how to say it from the bottom to the bottom." Difficult to go up, easy to go from top to bottom?"

"What way? Tell me, you must know." Lan Ling had a serious expression. I spent more time with her recently, and she became very gossipy, preferring to inquire about some private things.

"Easy, not difficult at all." Lan Ling poured himself a cup of tea, touched the temperature, and took a few sips dissatisfied, "The current emperor is a wise king, and he will never promulgate any decree to provoke the world for this matter." People resent, the rumors in the streets and alleys are nothing famous, smart people can figure it out after a little thought. To correct this matter, you can’t force it. The customs of thousands of years can’t be reversed. Other people’s daughters and emperors don’t care. But the daughter of the Li family can still talk."

"What do you mean?" Hearing Lan Ling's words, he became a little confused, "Say it clearly, you have many daughters in the Li family, did you follow this method to implement it?"

"Why not? It's fine if you get married. If you don't get married, you have to wait until you are 17 years old before leaving the cabinet. Not to mention the royal family, even the emperor has such a requirement for yourself. In the future, when the princesses become adults, they must have 17-year-old daughters." Rules." Lan Ling poured a glass of water and handed it to me, "Drink some, the spring is dry, and your mouth is dry and cracked." Seeing that I drank the water, he continued: "The royal look has been done. If you set an example, you will naturally be able to imitate it, and if you follow it layer by layer, although it is not as effective as the law, it will not affect the reputation of the emperor and will not anger the people. At most, everyone thinks that the emperor is just playing willful in his own clan, which is harmless .Once the climate is imitated and everyone can see the benefits of it, it will not be too late to promulgate laws and regulations."

"Oh, that's right." The common people said that the wind is the rain, and they rushed to have a wedding when they heard something. They didn't know if they would regret it when the truth came out in a few days. "Okay, good way, now my mother-in-law won't curse me, hehe." Tell Ying to know at night, or she must go out to find out her temper, after all, she is making troubles about the lifelong event of the fourth child. .

"You are at peace, and the whole world's mother's family will suffer from it in the future." Lan Ling smiled mischievously, blinking, "My daughter's family is a loser, eating her mother's house and drinking her mother's house. Pack up some dowry and send it out as soon as possible, so I will have to stay at home for a few more years, hehe..."

"What do you mean, don't have a daughter if you have the ability," Lan Ling laughed at himself, but it was true. People in this age have this idea, "What do you do if you give birth to a daughter?"

"Me?" Lan Ling stood up, stretched, and smiled confidently: "How could I have a daughter? Stop talking nonsense, they must be boys."

"All... yes?" I was a little surprised by this quantifier, "One is not enough?"

"Well, it's all! If you have a few more concubines, don't worry about it."

"Cut! What do you think I am?"
