I want to be a good minister

Chapter 14

"His Royal Highness—"

"His Royal Highness——" A group of people rushed to the door in a gust of wind, and the leader of the man saw the equipment parts on the ground, and suddenly his face was a little bad, and he turned to look at the old man beside him.

Cen Xi was concentrating on looking at the instrument at the moment, holding a "pen" in his left hand and quickly drawing on the white paper.

The elder Ge who had just woken up was stared at by His Highness the Crown Prince, and he almost lost his breath.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, wait a moment—" Master Shu lowered his voice, trying not to distract Cen Xi's attention, and directed the man to look at what Cen Xi was saying.

That Gao An alienated man, his shirt is clean and not stained with dust, his eyes are calm, even if the woman in front of him looks a little indecent, what he does is shocking.

Only then did the man notice that the "pen" in the woman's hand was very strange. The end of the goose feather was sharpened and dipped in ink to draw quickly. The graphics are all parts on the instrument.

The woman seemed to be only in her own world. Helian Jianxiu had never seen such concentration before. He held his breath, but his eyes were calm, as if a beam of light was only waiting for a flower to bloom, and a drop of water was only waiting for a drop of water. Ye Changcheng.

"The polar circle is connected to the swirling equatorial circle, the polar swimming circle and the peeping tube, the meridian double ring and the polar double ring..." Although the woman's words were a bit weird, everyone present stared blankly.

The woman in front of him seemed to be no longer the woman from the fishing village he knew. He had always felt that this woman was more unpredictable than he knew.

"Miss Cen, what's the use of this?" Like everyone else, the two Sitian Pavilion officials, Ling Yi and Wen Tian, ​​were also attracted by Cen Xi's concentration and earnestness. After Cen Xi answered their first question, the two asked questions one after another, immersed in the concentration they had never had before.

"Measuring the positions of celestial bodies, that is, the positions of constellations in the night sky, the double-ring meridian circle, the celestial equatorial circle, and the swirling equatorial meridian circle, three inner, middle and outer circles, can observe the specific positions of the sun, moon, and stars, and can also speculate on solar terms. The exact date." Cen Xi glanced at it and said without thinking.

Wen Tian immediately picked up another part, and Cen Xi shook his head. Although this instrument is precise, it still stays in the traditional concept of Gai Tian theory or Hun Tian theory when it comes to astrology. Maybe at this moment she can even say that the earth is a sphere, It is estimated that no one would believe it, so, regarding Wen Tian's question, he could only shake his head, then whispered a few words to Wen Tian, ​​Wen Tian nodded, carefully put the instrument aside, and neatly wrote down A 22.

"Miss Cen—" The lady of the Cen family that Ling Yi spoke of had unknowingly turned into Miss Cen, and the respect and seriousness in her voice was only when meeting a teacher in Sitian Academy.

Cen Xi took a serious look at the instrument in Lingyi's hand, a corner was missing, it seemed that he had found the reason, and it was Lingyi who "found" it.

Ling Yi immediately handed the parts in Master Shu's hands.

"Can it be repaired—" Master Shu asked, although apart from the shock at the beginning about the specific positions of the observed sun, moon, and stars that Cen Xi said, now he is gradually overflowing with doubts.

"There is no need to repair it. You can replace it with another type with the same scale as here." Cen Xi replied seriously. There is no scale, and the measurement time has not been taken into account, but it will be considered in the water astronomical observatory after the Qing Dynasty. slightly perfect.

Everyone was silent, all the meteorological officials in Sitian Pavilion together hadn't studied this instrument thoroughly, but in the eyes of the woman, there was a look of disgust, as if this instrument hadn't reached perfection.

Master Shu nodded, Cen Xi found the missing corner, Wen Tian and Ling Yi made a new one out of wood as quickly as possible, and engraved the degrees according to Cen Xi's instructions. He is very proficient, and after studying this instrument for several months, he immediately understood what Cen Xi meant.

Just waiting for the instrument to be spliced ​​again, and Cen Xi deliberately delayed it. Two hours later, Mr. Ge was dumbfounded, and the instrument returned to its original appearance.

"Okay——" Cen Xi turned around, only to see a group of people standing behind him looking at him with almost strange eyes.

Cen Xi is used to such gazes. She has been a top student all the way to graduate school. When she solves a very complicated problem, she receives most of these strange and admiring gazes.

So Cen Xi's reaction was very cold, and he took it for granted, and saluted the leading man.

"I am very pleased to be able to help Master Shu, please ask Master Shu to check whether this instrument is consistent with the original—"

"Don't look, it's exactly the same." Before Cen Xi could finish speaking, Ling Yi couldn't help it, and immediately saw that the prince was also there, and the old man glared at him, and immediately stood aside in a respectful manner. .

"Miss Cen, have you seen this Xiangtianyi?" Mr. Shu only took a cursory look. This Xiangtianyi has already been engraved in his mind, and he reacted to the improvements made by Cen Xi earlier than Wen Tianlingyi and the two of them. come over.

When Cen Xi heard this, he knew that if there was no reasonable explanation at this moment, everyone's doubts would be even worse.So Cen Xi raised his head, raised his lips with a clever smile, and curved his eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing this meal, Mr. Ge said again, the daughter of the rain god fooled them?
"Father Cen likes to study astronomical instruments and is good at carpentry. He once made a simpler one." Cen Xi spoke sincerely. Father Cen is indeed good at carpentry, but what he makes are tables and chairs, which are more delicate than ordinary people. many.

"So that's how it is—" Ling Yi and Ling Yi were the first to agree. At this moment, they might believe whatever Cen Xi said.

I just wish I could drag Cen Xi to their place to discuss more issues, but now His Royal Highness is still there and has no intention of leaving.

Ding Dong—System: Congratulations to the character for completing the restoration of the astronomical instrument, and the experience gained: 300.

"Miss Cen, you have done me a favor again, but what wish do you have?" Cen Xi only heard His Royal Highness's voice, and now the man's questioning is much more well-behaved, even though it was Cen Xi who did such a great favor. , The man wants to use a condition to get even, but it comes out of the man's mouth, so that you don't feel any injustice.

"I don't have any other wishes." I just hope that after finding her on the boat, I can deal with it more lightly, "Farewell, daughter of the people, I wish your Highness a smooth journey and all the best."

Cen Xi bowed respectfully, bid farewell to the others one by one, took the books presented by Mr. Shu, and left the official ship.

As soon as Cen Xi's feet set foot on the land, he was greatly relieved, he could finally take a breather, and he no longer had to pretend to be a submissive and gentle fisherman's girl. First, he bought some clothes, food, etc., and prepared to hide on the boat preparation.

The pier was originally a place where people come and go, so a market along the street gradually formed, with various sea fish and many shops.

Cen Xi picked out some clothes, bought some meat buns, wrapped them carefully and put them in the package in the system.

System: Obtain ordinary cloth shirt (piece) x 3, do you want to put it in the package?
System: Obtain meat packages (pieces) x 4, do you want to put them in the package?
System: Obtain ordinary cloth shoes (pair) x 2, do you want to put it in the package?
Cen Xi said yes, and was about to buy something else, when a big exclamation point suddenly popped up in the system, Cen Xi was taken aback, the main quest after so many days appeared again?Immediately click on the system.

Ding Dong——Main task: The lord is attacked by a killer, and the system has automatically activated the defense mode. Please support the lord immediately to save the lord from danger.Note: The main task cannot be rejected, once rejected the system will be irreversible.

Cen Xi was stunned, system, did you make a mistake, why didn't you choose a special soldier or something, so as to save the princess from danger.

Although Cen Xi was not angry, he thought it was related to whether he could go back, so he had to open the map, only to see the bright yellow dots on the map hundreds of meters away from him, and more than ten red dots coming from all directions.
