Hearing this, Cuinong stopped playing in a whisper with Kou Er, and asked: "What does Steward Du mean, this year it will be planted according to the solar terms in the calendar, but the weather is still cold after the sting, and it is not conducive to the emergence of seedlings as in previous years? Then it seems that the revised calendar is still inaccurate!"

Du Yiming frowned, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not!"

At this time, a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old peasant boldly raised his voice and said, "Qu Zhaoxun, let the prince think of a way." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info The old men of the Taishi Bureau don't know what's wrong, the calendar can't be accurate, and it's the people who suffer. Those of us who follow the prince, even if we are not old, we can always have food and clothing without worry. But the ordinary farmers outside have been really miserable in the past few years!"

The other farmers around also chimed in.

In their eyes, Qu Zhaoxun nodded slightly with a smile and responded to their request.

What they didn't know was that my thoughts were already tumbling in my heart, and my left palm seemed to ache faintly.

It was the day when my father asked my sister and me to memorize the books in the Yunlou Collection, and one day I was mindful to the calendar deduction, which was obscure. I was young at the time, so I inevitably made a mistake of being lazy and careless, which provoked my father to teach me a lesson.

I still retorted: "Daddy, don't you say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented! You want my sister and me to read out a champion talent, isn't it still a daughter of the boudoir? Reading these every day is so boring." This spring is almost over, and I haven't even been able to go out to fold flowers and flutter butterflies!"

The father reprimanded: "I take care of my family and raise my daughter, and I have always had to cultivate both ability and political integrity in order to be able to stand on my own feet in the world." If an ordinary woman can, you have to be top-notch, and if an ordinary woman can't, you must also be able to do it. In this way, I will live up to my Gu's lintel. What's more, the daughters of the Gu family and the children of the Gu family are all of the Gu bloodline, and I have always treated you equally, so you should despise yourself first!"

After speaking, I couldn't help but say, I took the ring ruler and hit me three times on my left hand.

My father has always spoiled me, and he never made me suffer like this, and the tears of grievance fell straight down at that time. Originally, my father wanted to punish me, but Master Yuan interceded.

A few days later, when my father saw me, he still had a solemn face, but the first thing he said was: "Does the palm of my hand still hurt?"

I pouted and kept silent.

My father was angry and helpless, and said, "You are young and don't know the truth of this. As a woman, your father can't give you a seal, but these books can always accompany you. So that although you are in the boudoir, you can travel all over the world. I won't talk about the big truth, but you always know that even the peddlers and pawns say that they don't have a lot of skills!

The words are still in my ears, but there are thousands of rivers and mountains between me and my father.

I smiled and said, "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." The calendar is to adapt to nature with manpower, and it is normal for some discrepancies to be overwhelmed for a while. The Taishi Bureau should adjust as soon as possible. I'll talk to the prince about it. ”

Du Yiming led everyone to salute and thank me.

I smiled lightly and led Cinon and Chloe down the hill through the woods.

But in his heart he already had an idea about the calendar.

At the end of the day, King Xiao returned.

I served him and cleaned my hands and asked, "How is the prince and Master Yao talking?"

He reached out and scratched the tip of my nose and smiled like a warm spring sun, "As you expected." While sitting down at the dinner table with me, he said, "He had heard the good name of Miss Xie Fu mentioned earlier, and that day Qing Ge Tai made trouble, and he had another glimpse. Now these days, it's actually lovesickness!"

I think of Yao Huatang's suave and conceited talent, but now he is eaten to death by Xie Anruo's girl, and I can't help but be a little funny: "It's really a thing to a thing." It only depends on whether the Xie family is willing to marry Yao and Xie for Qin and Jin. ”

Xiao Wang also said: "The matter is man-made. I'll be back in Beijing tomorrow, and I have a few things to go back and arrange. ”

I sensitively noticed that he was talking about "I" instead of "this king", so that just like the relationship between ordinary husband and wife, it was warm and precious to me.

Then he immediately said, "I'll go back with the prince." ”

Xiao Wang picked up the chopsticks, took some charcoal-roasted venison and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully. Fang Dao: "I thought about it, if you like it here, why don't you wait here for me to come back." Why bother bumping on the road. I took someone back to Beijing on horseback, and it would be faster. ”

I pondered that if I wanted to calculate the inaccuracies of the current calendar, I really needed to deduce it quietly, and when King Xiao returned to Beijing, I happened to do this wholeheartedly. When he returned, he would give him the calibrated calendar, and he would present it to the Emperor. If it really works, it will not only relieve the suffering of Li Min, but also King Xiao will be more hopeful in the court.

Then he said with a smile: "I know that the prince dislikes the concubine and walks slowly in the carriage." One day, the concubine will learn equestrian skills, but I'm afraid that the prince will be too fast!"

Reaching out for a soup spoon, he scooped a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup and put it in his hand, and said softly: "The concubine is waiting for the prince here." ”

……

It's just that what people didn't expect was that King Xiao was gone for five days.

On the second day of his return to Beijing, I had already carefully scrutinized the "Yuan Jia Calendar". I probably know the reason why the solar terms marked on the calendar and the actual weather gradually do not coincide.

When he was starting to deduce and calibrate, Chifu reminded softly beside her: "Isn't Miss acting like this, aren't you worried about making people suspicious and being convicted for this?"

I took the hand of the chip and slammed it.

I also know the charges that Chifu said. The first is "private calendars," and the second is "private astronomy": one is to learn the methods of observing astronomy and predicting good fortune and evil according to celestial phenomena; and the second is to collect astronomical books and instruments for observing astronomy.

Probably because of the combination of metaphysics and astronomy in the Western Jin Dynasty, there were many clear talks that shook the theory of the Son of Heaven. How can this make the royal family endure. Therefore, from the beginning of the dynasty, the law forbade the private practice of astronomy. "All the occult artifacts, astronomical books, prophecy books, military books, seven Yao calendars, Taiyi, thunder formulas, private people are not allowed, and the offender will be imprisoned for two years. If it is passed on, those who do not go along with it will create the method of 'words'. 'Those who study astronomy privately' are not their own books, and if they turn to study as scholars, they will have to sit in vain for two years. ”

While fiddling with the calculations, I said, "It's not that I don't have to worry, it's just that I can't bear to see the peasants being misled by the inaccurate calendar." If this is done, the people will have less famine. What's more, I always think about what I can do to help a group of princes. ”

Chifu sighed and said no more. He silently helped me minus the candle flame and move it closer.

There is a book called "Metaphysical Miscellaneous" in the collection of Guoyunlou, which records that a man named Zhang Zixin lived in seclusion on the island for many years, and measured it with an artifact called an armillary sphere made by himself. It is found that the movement of the sun is uneven. "The day is late after the vernal equinox, and fast after the autumnal equinox." There are also detailed records of the sluggish speed of the sun's movement and the difference between the actual speed of the sun and the average speed of the sun during the 24 solar terms, that is, the daily "air intake difference".

The current calendar is inaccurate, and most of them do not take much into account the "difference in air intake".

I took a pen and wrote quickly on the paper, sometimes jagging down the values of the calculations on the paper.

When he returns, I'll be able to give him a gift.

Since I met in the princess's mansion, it was he who took my hand and walked out of the quagmire step by step. Spoil me, tolerate me, follow my thoughts, and keep giving gifts to make me smile.

The respect he gave me when he welcomed me into the house, the gentleness when he hung the phoenix-shaped jade pendant around my neck, the thoughtfulness of asking Zhan Lu to bring the title deed and the house deed, the domineering rescue between the snow and red plums, and the complete trust of the Chinese New Year's Eve night, and the smile that agreed to take me to learn to ride a horse without thinking about it...... Scenes flashed before my eyes.

If I could do something for him, I would be glad to do it.
