Zhuzi show off

He Bao introduced to Xiao Mo: "Lang Jun, just now Boss Pei sent someone to spread the word that there was a massacre in the middle of the capital and asked the people in the city to stay under investigation, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come today. This is Ah Qi." , the craftsman sent by Boss Pei, this person is ingenious and handy, and he said he can make the gloves that your husband asked for yesterday."

Xiao Mo had no choice but to put down "Chronicle of the Seven Kingdoms", looked up at Ah Qi who was standing silently by the side, and asked curiously, "A massacre happened in Beijing? Whose family?"

In fact, Xiao Mo just asked casually, which family was exterminated, even if He Bao told him, he, an alien species, might not know.

However, what Xiao Mo never expected was that he really knew about this unlucky family whose family had been wiped out!

He Bao raised his eyelids to look at Xiao Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's not another family, it's, it's the old Mrs. Wei who wanted to cheat Xuan'er last night, the Wei family."

Xiao Mo's eyes widened suddenly: "Wei family?" This is too coincidental!

"This morning, officers and soldiers wanted to interrogate you and Xuan'er, Mr. Lang, but the prince stopped him in time."

Gong Xi actually protected him twice, it seems that he kicked him hard enough last night.

"Ahem—" I'm too heartless! "That's it, He Bao, then you can thank the prince for me at that moment."

"Yes..." He Bao didn't leave after he finished speaking, and stole a glance at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Lang Jun, thank you, my lord, don't we have to show something?" Ren Yixiangju sent something to the lord when he had nothing to do, with a full-fledged gesture of flattery.

Xiao Mo pondered, and felt that He Bao's suggestion was very necessary. Yesterday he hurt someone like that. Although it was Gong Xi who committed the crime himself and felt uncomfortable, but after all, it was him who hurt someone, so it is not an exaggeration to use things to comfort him.

Xiao Mo turned his head and looked at Ah Qi who had been silent all the time: "A Qi, you are a skilled craftsman, so help me make a pair of gloves now, and make a gift for King Yonghe later."

He Bao: "..." Can't we give some valuable things?Well, their husband is a newcomer to Lingyuan, and he is very poor, so he can afford such infamous things as gloves.

Ah Qi listened to Xiao Mo's order, but still didn't speak, but took off the cowhide box that she had been carrying on her shoulder and took out two pairs of gloves, one for a child and one for an adult.

"This is the finished product?" Xiao Mo touched the soft and warm cotton gloves, very satisfied.

Ah Qi nodded, pointing to the bigger cotton gloves: "Your."

Xiao Mo let out an ah, and it took a moment to understand Ah Qi's meaning: "You made it for me?"

Ah Qi continued to nod.

"Did Pei Zhenyuan keep it by himself?"

Ah Qi said concisely: "Stay."

Xiao Mo glanced at Ah Qi, couldn't help laughing, then handed two pairs of gloves to He Bao: "The big ones are for King Yonghe, and the small ones are for Xuan'er."

He Bao was even more speechless, it was fine if the gift was cheap, and he didn't care about it at all. This was obviously because Xiao Mo didn't want it himself and then pretended to give it to King Yonghe. How big is the fire?It is estimated that only their lords dare to do this in the entire Jing Kingdom!

He Bao left Yunshu Pavilion with two pairs of gloves, and Ah Qi also wanted to go out together, but Xiao Mo stopped him.

"wait!"

Ah Qi turned her body back in silence, then stood there like a wooden stake, waiting for Xiao Mo's order.

"Since you are a craftsman, what can you do?"

"all."

Heh - the tone is really not small!

Originally, he thought that Ah Qi was sent by Pei Zhenyuan, and it would not be good to send him away casually, so he deliberately chatted a few more words, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to become interested in this Ah Qi after this conversation.

"I like reading very much. It's nothing during the day, but reading at night is really hard on the eyes. The main reason is that the light of the candle is too dim. I know that there is something that can emit light that is several times brighter than a candle. I will draw a picture, how about you? "If you can make electric lights, I will take your surname!"

There was no expression on Ah Qi's face, she looked extremely numb, and her tone of voice was also ordinary: "Okay, you draw."

"..." Xiao Mo got up silently, went to get the pen and paper, then pushed the ink stick and inkstone to Ah Qi, "Grind the ink for me, I don't know how."

Ah Qi didn't say anything, and went straight up to grind ink for Xiao Mo, very obedient.

This kind of dull and honest man can't be found in the crowd, so it can be said that it is difficult to attract people's attention.

Xiao Mo looked at Ah Qi who walked up to him and picked up the ink stick and began to grind the ink, his eyes flickered slightly, Ah Qi's action of picking up the ink stick and then subconsciously raising his cuffs was not a well-educated person, so he couldn't do it of.

"Ah Qi, have you ever learned how to write?"

Ah Qi paused for a moment when she rubbed the ink, then shook her head: "Draw a picture."

drawing?Should I draw a picture or...

"Did you learn to grind ink when you were drawing?"

Ah Qi nodded and remained silent.

Xiao Mo smiled, drawing skills as a craftsman is a must, what are you thinking about!

Xiao Mo started to draw the simple closed circuit diagram of the electric light recalled in his mind, and then marked a few points, corresponding to each point, and drew the materials required for production and a more detailed structural diagram.

"Do you understand?"

Ah Qi nodded.

"Can understand?"

Ah Qi nodded again.

"Can you really understand?"

Ah Qi continued to nod, the expression on his face was the same as before, without any hint of impatience.

Xiao Mo was ashamed, although he felt that his blueprints were quite fine, but when he finished the drawing as a whole, it was called a shoddy work, and he only knew a little about the structure of electric lights and the principle of primary batteries, so he said , his blueprint, not to mention field research, even theoretical deliberation, may not work.

Xiao Mo dried the drawing, and then handed it to Ah Qi: "There may be a lot of mistakes and omissions in my drawing. You can study it yourself, and it doesn't matter if you fail. There are candles for lighting... In fact, it's okay."

Ah Qi didn't say anything, and carefully put the drawings Xiao Mo gave him into the toolbox he brought, then stood up straight and waited for Xiao Mo's further instructions.

Xiao Mo felt that he was embarrassing enough, so he let Ah Qi leave.

Not long after Ah Qi left, He Bao finished his errands for Xiao Mo and came back to report. Xiao Mo went to the cabinet to find out the purse that Pei Zhenyuan gave him before, and took out an ingot of silver to He Bao:

"I'll write a prescription, you go to the pharmacy to get some medicine, and you can keep the rest of the money for yourself."

He Bao was naturally happy when he heard that there was still money to be made for running errands, but: "Mr. Lang, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?" Xiao Mo just woke up the next day, so there must be nothing wrong !

Xiao Mo shook his head, and wrote five herbs on the paper: ginseng slices, wolfberry, yam, mulberries, and Eucommia male flowers.

Xiao Mo gave the written prescription to He Bao, but He Bao hesitated to take it: "This..."

"I didn't eat it myself, I bought it for the prince. Don't you think the gift of my gloves is too light? Then let's give something thoughtful."

"These medicines...what are they for?" Although he knew it was not good to get to the bottom of it, He Bao couldn't help asking curiously.

Xiao Mo smiled, but didn't hide He Bao's words, and lightly uttered a few words: "Tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang."

He Bao: "..." I, I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard!No!I didn't hear anything!

Seeing He Bao running away, the smile on Xiao Mo's face widened, and he lowered his hand to pick up the "Chronicle of the Seven Kingdoms" that was still left unfinished. Xiao Mo thought that no one would bother him to read this time, but Just as he was about to glance at the book, he caught a glimpse of a red-clothed figure appearing at the door of Yunshu Pavilion out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the red was getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Mo sighed inwardly, had to put down the book in his hand again, and raised his head to greet the guests.

Tsing Yi got his name from his role in the Chinese opera. Because of his great singing skills, everyone no longer remembers his original name, and they all call him Tsing Yi.

Apart from wearing blue clothes in dramas, Tsing Yi prefers to wear brightly colored clothes on weekdays, either bright red or bright green, but he is beautiful and looks good in anything, just like the red tulle Hanfu he is wearing now. Putting it on ordinary people, it would be haunted by day, but Tsing Yi wore an indescribable demeanor.

Xiao Mo secretly praised the appearance and temperament of the man in front of him, but he was a little puzzled, who is this strange beauty, and why did he come to him suddenly.

Tsing Yi met Xiao Mo's suspicious gaze, and smiled lightly: "I am Tsing Yi, and I live in Yixiangju next door to you. I heard that you have just recovered from a serious illness and are in Lingyuan. I should come to see you." After beckoning, immediately a little boy came up holding a gold lacquer box.

Xiao Mo glanced at the golden box, which seemed to be of great value at first glance, and the things inside were probably quite valuable as well.

An expensive gift matches a high position. It is understandable for a person to give expensive gifts to a high-ranking person or someone who admires him in his heart. However, Xiao Mo and Tsing Yi are both actresses in the court, and they don't even know each other. So what is the significance of giving such an expensive gift? Xiao Mo was about to weigh it up.

Seeing that Xiao Mo didn't take the box, Tsing Yi smiled gently, and explained: "This is the snow ginseng excavated from the depths of the snow mountain. It has the effect of restoring the health of the sick and weak. I don't need it even if I have no illness or disaster. It’s worth it to give it to you.”

It turned out to be ginseng.

Xiao Mo thought for a while, but he didn't refuse. He took the box from the boy, and didn't rush to open it to confirm the gift inside, but thanked Tsing Yi:

"Thank you for your gift. I'm missing a good ginseng here." If Gong Xi's Five Treasures Tea was replaced with this ginseng, it should... the effect of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang would be even better!

Since he accepted a gift from someone, he couldn't be too indifferent to others, so Xiao Mo let Tsing Yi sit next to him.

Tsing Yi casually picked up "Chronicle of the Seven Kingdoms" that Xiao Mo hadn't finished reading yet:

"Wenchang's writing is really good, and I like it very much, but I haven't read this "Chronicle of the Seven Kingdoms". It sounds like the name should be a historical story."

"It has little to do with history, it can be regarded as an inspirational novel at best." In fact, it is a cool article of the poor, just look happy.

Tsing Yi's very slender and graceful eyebrows raised slightly, and she unconsciously showed a hint of coquettishness: "Really? It's not a history textbook, so can you lend me to read it?"
