Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 279 Disobedient Mouth
Xue Lang didn't answer right away, but looked at Princess Pingyang seriously——

Princess Pingyang almost never wears makeup... To be precise, Xue Lang has never seen her wearing makeup, and she rarely even wears jewelry, even if she does, it is very elegant in color and style.The same goes for clothes!
Even though it's been almost a year, Xue Lang still can't tell which clothes are called, and he can't tell the difference between jacket and jacket.Princess Pingyang mostly dresses in cool colors, and even men's round-neck gowns are very plain in color.It is quite different from the current habit of Tang people who like bright colors.If Xue Lang wore the official robes of the council and stood with Princess Pingyang, if someone came to judge who was more beautiful, Xue Lang would probably win.

The princess seldom has any violent mood swings, whether she is happy or angry, there is a sense of restraint and forbearance.If you have to describe it, it's like a calm lake, you can't see how much is at the bottom of the lake, you can't see what's in the lake, you can only see the smooth surface like a mirror.It seems that the princess has hidden all her emotions and thoughts under the deep water of the lake, where she cannot be seen or guessed.

But I just like Princess Pingyang like this!

Xue Lang has never understood his mind so much like this moment, he really likes her, he will feel at ease when he sees her, without her, he feels empty in his heart, without any hope.

"Your Highness."

Xue Lang called her, and Princess Pingyang didn't speak, but raised her eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.Xue Lang couldn't help asking, "What's your boudoir name?"

Princess Pingyang...Princess Pingyang patted the table with a "bang", her brows were flushed, and she said angrily, "Xue Lang!"

After being scolded, Xue Lang reflected what he asked, and bowed his head in embarrassment.After being low for a while, I didn't notice any actions or reprimands from Princess Pingyang, so I couldn't help but look up again, looking at Princess Pingyang with a smirk——

His eyebrows are flying and his smile is radiant, the sunshine outside the window can't compare to his smile!

For some reason, Princess Pingyang regained her calm expression, and said almost persuasively: "Do you remember what I just said?"

Xue Lang nodded first, then shook his head, thought for a while, and said sincerely and seriously: "Your Highness, I will always be here! Wude has been here for five years, six years, and seven years."

Princess Pingyang suffocated, turned her head directly, couldn't help touching the book on the desk, and said bluntly: "Fool!"

Xue Lang was grinning, being said to be a fool was actually happy, the smile on his face was extremely stupid, Chuxue, who was trying to pretend not to be there, took a sneaky look, probably felt that it was a bit hurtful, turned his head quickly, and couldn't bear to look directly look.

Xue Lang smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you like to read books? What kind of books do you like to read? I also like to read books, but there are too few books in your Tang Dynasty, so you can't stand it."

"you?"

Her Royal Highness's focus has always been so unconventional.Xue Lang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words: "It's us now. There are too few books in the Tang Dynasty, all of which are academic works, and there are no interesting novels, ghosts or travel notes. Classical Chinese like me With a limited level, I can't understand it at all."

Princess Pingyang said indifferently: "Engraving a block is not easy. Even for the most skilled engraver, engraving a block is not a one-time job. It takes time and effort, and it is extremely difficult. Besides, writing a book and talking about it is no small matter, so you should be cautious."

Xue Lang nodded and asked, "Since engraving is not easy, why not use other methods to print books? For example, printing with movable type."

"What is movable type printing?"

Princess Pingyang asked.

At this time, Xue Lang felt a little crooked, and silently slapped himself in the heart, but Her Royal Highness's question still had to be answered.

Therefore, Xue Lang explained: "It is to use clay sculptures to carve the commonly used characters into Yangwen's inverted fonts, and when it is time to print, use a special board to arrange the fonts in order, brush with ink, and then start printing. The principle is similar to that of a seal, but there is only one seal, and movable type printing is to arrange the typefaces according to the content of the article and print them. Compared with engraving printing, it saves time, labor and money, and the typecasting can be used for many years.”

Princess Pingyang is a smart person, so she understood it as soon as she heard it, and her eyes couldn't help but brighten up: "You Yang knows this technique?"

Xue Lang nodded with a smile: "This is simple, as long as you understand the principle, you can do it. It is the material selection of the font, if it can be made of metal, it is the best, and it is durable. And the size of the font, the paper of the book is so big, If you want to print well, you need to make good fonts. In addition, there is a problem of typesetting, which requires a skilled master. I suggest using the card slot method, design the size, and directly insert the fonts. In this way, when printing Just because the font is not fixed firmly, printing errors are caused."

Princess Pingyang is a decisive person, she pondered for a while, and said directly: "I have a bookstore under my name, and there is no shortage of craftsmen's mansions. These few days, it is almost New Year's Eve, and after the New Year's Eve, I will arrange people to try it out. Yang Mo must forget to come here often to give guidance."

Xue Lang raised his scissors secretly in his heart, and made a victory gesture——

Seeing that Her Royal Highness attaches so much importance to it, it is obvious that she will personally participate.If Xue Lang had to come over often for advice, then he would be able to see her often! Good job!

Although Princess Pingyang didn't smile, the expressions on the corners of her brows and eyes were a little bit high. With such a high-spirited look, Xue Lang felt hot in his heart and dizzy from laughing. There was a feeling of stepping on cotton. Out of nowhere, a sentence popped up: "Your Highness, I like you!"

"rude!"

Princess Pingyang stood up directly, turned around abruptly, without looking at Xue Lang: "Ako!"

"Here!"

The mysterious black-clothed girl turned out from behind the screen, and kneeled respectfully in front of Princess Pingyang, who pointed at Xue Lang with her slender fingers: "Kick this apprentice out!"

Ouch, not good!It's too straightforward. No matter how calm the princess is, he is also an ancient person. Did he frighten Princess Pingyang by his uncontrollable confession?Maybe, a little shy?

Xue Lang wanted to see Princess Pingyang again, but the girl in black had already stood in front of him: "Xue Zhiyi, please!"

Xue Lang scratched his head in embarrassment, blushing like a red cloth, couldn't hold back just now, the words rushed out of his mouth involuntarily.Now that I think about what I said, I feel very embarrassed.

Glancing quietly at Princess Pingyang's back, she followed Akoo out with a tomato face.Walking to the door, I couldn't help but look back at Princess Pingyang again, but still didn't turn around!
Ruined!Are you really angry?
Xue Lang was quite disturbed.A Kou, who was ordered to drive him out of the mansion, urged in a cold voice: "Xue Zhiyi, please go faster!"

"oh oh!"

Xue Lang turned around and smiled at Akoo apologetically, but why did Akoo feel a smile in his eyes?Obviously he made her master angry, why is she still laughing?Xue Lang held a certain expectation and couldn't help asking: "Miss Ako, what are you laughing at?"

A Kou gave him a pair of big white eyes unceremoniously, and said: "Laughing fool!"

Xue Lang wasn't really stupid either. Hearing this, he suddenly realized: "Your Highness is not angry?"

A Kou silently turned her face away, with only one doubt in her heart——

So stupid, how did the master give such a knowledgeable comment?
