Medical incense

Slightly different from the waterwheel on the river bank in the previous life, Shen Zhongxin has transformed it into a small toy waterwheel that can be used without running water.

The little maid fetched water in a large square wooden basin.

Zhen Shiniang put the water wheel in and shook it with the handle.

The water in the big wooden basin is filled with small bamboo tubes inlaid on the top of the spokes of the axle wheel. With the rotation of the axle, it is lifted up, and then slowly tilted to the top, poured into the wooden sink below, along the fixed wooden basin. The trough flows forward slowly, and is finally received by the little maid into a small basin.

Seeing this kind of water-carrying utensil for the first time, the little maids were both curious and excited, and chattered.

While having fun, a little servant girl hurried in to reply, "Princess Nanjun is here to pay my respects to Madam." She handed over the letter of greeting from Concubine Nanjun with both hands.

Princess Nanjun?

Zhen Shiniang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the emerald jade bracelet, and hurriedly led the little maid to welcome her out.

"... If you're taking the liberty to bother me, I'd like to look at Mrs. Shen Haihan." Said it was presumptuous, Nanjun Princess held her head high, and looked at Zhen Shiniang with domineering eyes.

She was wearing a pea blue ice-flowered silk jacket with a right lapel and a silver fox fur vest. The white stand-up collar set off a stunning little face as white as fine porcelain, and her jet-black hair was simply tied into a lily bun. , with a plum blossom hairpin woven with fine rice grains of uniform size and uniform color. Dongzhu is precious, and it is even more rare to find a hundred oriental pearls of uniform size and luster. Look at the plump and round earlobes The last pair of emerald and magnolia stud earrings are delicate and elegant.There is a sense of atmosphere in the simplicity, this is the so-called low-key luxury, right?

The concubine couldn't help but gasped, and said to herself, "It seems that the rumors outside are true. General Shen really spoils her!"

A few East Pearls are fine, but this silver fox fur is rare.

She came to visit rashly, without saying hello in advance, and Zhen Shiniang received the letter as soon as she got the letter, so she didn't have time to change clothes.It means that she is dressed for home.As the concubine of the county, she only has a silver fox fur cloak, and she is willing to wear it only a few times a year for serious occasions.

This Zhen Shiniang actually took it to make home clothes!

In an instant, Nanjun Wangfei put away her contempt and secretly added a little caution.

Zhen Shiniang was also looking at Princess Nanjun.

The princess is in her 40s and wears a multicolored silk tapestry.It was covered with a bright red gold velvet cloak, and a peacock spread its tail on its head, dotting emerald brilliance, with a graceful complexion, a straight back, and an unattainable majesty.

Dressed so dazzlingly, is she trying to show me off?

Zhen Shiniang smiled coldly in her heart.The expression on her face remained unchanged, "...It's cold outside. Princess Nanjun came into the room to talk." Not a word of humility such as disappointment, Zhen Shiniang's demeanor was elegant, her tone was calm, and her momentum was not inferior to that of Princess Nanjun.

Seeing Zhen Shiniang reaching out her hand, Princess Nanjun hesitated for a moment, and then affectionately carried her into the house together, completely unaware that this was the first time the two met face to face.There is a lot of energy in my heart.

The personal maid behind the princess couldn't help blinking.

At any rate, her concubine also said a polite word that took the liberty to come here, why doesn't this one have a word of humility?

Then I remembered that although Zhen Shiniang was only a fourth-rank travel doctor.But she is deeply loved by the queen mother, and she is also a genuine uncrowned princess. At the old lady Zheng's birthday banquet, her concubine was not qualified to have a table with Zheng Guifei, but she was arranged for that table. Pressing it down, he put on a friendly expression and smiled at Qiu Ju.

The little maid had just poured the water in the wooden basin, and was carefully cleaning the water wheel. Seeing Zhen Shiniang walking in with Princess Nanjun, they stood on both sides to greet her.

"...What is this?" Princess Nanjun looked curiously at the water wheel on the table.

"...Waterwheel." Zhen Shiniang said casually, "It's used to carry water to irrigate the farmland."

Irrigate farmland?

Princess Nanjun's eyes lit up, and she bent down in disbelief, "So small?" How to irrigate it?

Facing the serious expression on Wang Hao's face, Zhen Shiniang was dumbfounded, and patiently explained, "This is a miniature one, which was transformed for children to play with."

"...How can you carry water with just such a big wheel?" Princess Nanjun caressed the water wheel resolutely.

"Put this big axle wheel in running water, and the turbulent water will push the wheel to turn..." After explaining the principle of the waterwheel, Zhen Shiniang simply turned her head and told the maid, "... fetch a basin of water."

"There is no running water in the house, and I was afraid that it would be dangerous for the children to go to the river, so I specially modified a handle that can be shaken..." Putting the water wheel in the wooden basin, Zhen Shiniang personally held the handle to demonstrate to the princess of Nanjun.

Seeing the water in the big wooden basin being brought up one by one and flowing along the wooden trough to the basin designated by Zhen Shiniang, Princess Nanjun couldn't help but sigh, "Really, there are such skilled craftsmen in this world!" As a noble princess, she took the handle and shook it herself, looking at the rushing water in the wooden trough, she was filled with emotion, "Last year, there was a severe drought in the southwest, if there was this water truck pumping the water from the Li River to irrigate the farmland, why would the prince be exhausted physically and mentally?" , a serious illness."

There is no waterwheel in Dazhou?

Zhen Shiniang looked at Princess Nanjun in disbelief.

When visiting the waterwheel in the previous life, the tour guide once explained that the waterwheel originated in the Sui Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. Although the history of Dazhou is different from the history in her memory, but listening to Shen Zhongqing's allusions back and forth, the history before Song Dynasty is basically the same as her previous life. It is of the same origin. It has been vague since the Yuan Dynasty, and almost no one has heard of it since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Zhen Shiniang has always guessed that this era has deviated from the historical track of her previous life since the Tang Dynasty.

However, according to this conjecture, waterwheels should have appeared in Dazhou long ago?

Could it be that this time and space has undergone some major changes after the Tang Dynasty, and it has been lost.

"...What?" Seeing that Zhen Shiniang's eyes were confused, Princess Nanjun stopped what she was doing.

"The prince of Nanjun is guarding the southwest?" After regaining her senses, Zhen Shiniang took the handkerchief from Qiu Ju and wiped the hands of Princess Nanjun herself. "...No wonder I haven't seen you in the previous palace banquets."

Princess Nanjun was a little confused.

What she said seemed to mean that she didn't know herself at all. Could it be that... the jade bracelet that framed Xiang'er was not a conspiracy?

Thinking of the purpose of coming here, the princess suddenly discovered that she had been talking and laughing with Zhen Shiniang before she knew it. Zhen Shiniang had a tranquility that could make people disarm. He couldn't bear the domineering posture he had just shown at the door.

Knowing that she should put on a straight face at this time, she saw Zhen Shiniang wiping her hands with a smile, like a close friend in a boudoir, how could the princess say something harsh, she followed Zhen Shiniang and said, "The prince is guarding the Southwest Capital. It's been almost ten years, during this period I have only come back three times with the prince, few people in Beijing know me..." Sighed, "If it wasn't for my niece this time, the prince would not have let me come with me. "

niece?

Zhen Shiniang remembered what Shi Hu had investigated before, Grandma Zheng was the eldest daughter of Bohou Nanpingan, and Princess Nanjun was the younger sister of Marquis Anbo, secretly said, "She came to Beijing for Grandma Zheng? "

His brows were slightly frowned.

She came here because of Grandma Zheng. I don't know why Nanjun Wang is here?

At this sensitive time, the king of Nanjun suddenly returned to the court. Regarding the northwest horse market that Shen Zhongqing insisted on, is it good or bad?

Thoughts flashed across her mind, Zhen Shiniang asked casually, "...Did your niece get sick?" Turning around, she told the servant girl, "Clean up the water tanker." While smiling, she pulled Princess Nanjun to sit down, and took the gift from the servant girl. Passed the tea to her, "Princess, try it, this is the new Tieguanyin made this year." He said again, "...I know a little bit about Qihuang, so you came to me to find the right one."

After taking the tea and putting it aside, Princess Nanjun's face was a little embarrassing, and she bit the bullet and said the purpose of coming here, "...my daughter is not sensible, please forgive me, Mrs. Shen." She looked at Zhen Shiniang, "That bracelet... ..."

"...It turned out to be Ling Qianjin?" Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized, turned her head and ordered the servant girl to bring the jewelry box, and took out the emerald jade bracelet and handed it to her in front of the princess, "...Is this what the princess said?" General Er also reprimanded Brother Wen and Brother Wu, and asked me to keep it, and wait for him to find out whose daughter it is, and return it to her early." Looking at the princess sincerely, "Brother Wen and Brother Wu beat up the little naughty girl. , Princess, please don't mind."

It's not a conspiracy!

Seeing that Zhen Shiniang personally kept this emerald jade bracelet, it was not deliberately hung on the waist by Shen Zhongqing as Nanjun Wang guessed, to slander her daughter's innocence, and make it look like a done deal to force herself to submit. The heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman, and the princess's face is even more embarrassed when she sees Zhen Shiniang's calm smile.

Euphemistically said something like "I shouldn't ask for it, but my daughter's things are not allowed to go out" and apologized, she turned around and took a pair of yellow longevity locks from the maid and handed them to Zhen Shiniang, " ...This is the first time I come here, I don't know what the young master likes, it's not a respect, but I hope Mrs. Shen will accept it with a smile." There is no air of being superior to the princess at all, and the humble and flattering tone seems to be begging to come to curry favor.

Seeing that she was at fault on her own side, but Zhen Shiniang flipped her hands and made the princess apologize and give gifts, as if she had done a huge sin, Qiu Ju couldn't help but chuckled.

After all, she is a concubine with a noble status, so when she came to ask for a green jade bracelet, she would naturally come up with something to supplement, and Zhen Shiniang didn't take it too seriously, so she reached out and took it without being surprised.

Looking at the longevity locks, which are about the size of two fists, I didn't expect it to be solid!

Real gold is pure gold, and when you weigh it, it weighs three or four.

This is really exchanging a piece of wood for four taels of gold!

Zhen Shiniang raised her head in astonishment.

After all, it is the great general, the first-class celebrity around Wansui, the king of Nanjun did not dare to offend, so he made these two long-lived locks built overnight. Seeing Zhen Shiniang finally showing a surprised expression, the princess is in a good mood .

Finally regained some face! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
