Chapter 6 You Need to Learn
Shen Lanying looked at the incense burner in her hand with great interest, the body of the stove was made of pure copper, with three legs and two ears, the workmanship was very exquisite, and there were spices suspected of sandalwood inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 There are six ventilation holes in the base of the incense burner, and the lid of the pot has a hollow pattern, so that as long as the spices in the chamber are lit, the air will flow naturally due to uneven heat and cold. If the furnace is rotated 15 degrees clockwise, the hollowing out of the lid will be blocked, and the spices ignited in the internal chamber will extinguish themselves because they are isolated from oxygen, and there is no need to open the lid at all.
After studying for a long time, and finally thoroughly understanding the working principle of this incense burner, Shen Lanying sighed that even an incense burner was so exquisitely made in ancient times, it was simply too luxurious, and at the same time threw down the incense burner and turned to observe the palace lamp standing on the table with great interest.
Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, so I simply studied and studied the ancient daily necessities, and the provincial Sikong Yan looked at her with the eyes of the mentally retarded.
There was a crisp sound of beating outside the house, and according to her meager historical knowledge, it must have been six o'clock in the morning, and the sky outside the house had gradually changed from dark to a little brighter.
After thinking about it all night, Shen Lanying had already thought a lot in her heart, anyway, she had crossed over here, instead of feeling sorry for herself and looking forward to one day when she could go back if she fell again, it was better to be at peace with what happened and accept her new identity in ancient times. It is said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, but in fact, even if Sikong Yan really wants to help the fifth prince snatch the throne, it may not be really dangerous for her.
After all, she was born in modern times, and her mind should always be stronger than that of ordinary ancients, oh, except for alternative careerists like Sikong Yan.
However, why did Sikong Yan help the fifth prince who was only fourteen years old to seize the throne, wouldn't it be better to choose other princes. Shen Lanying thought as she moved the palace lamp to the table, and then dismantled the exquisite palace lamp into a pair of parts while researching.
Just as the last small device was dismantled by Shen Lanying, there was a small knock on the door outside the house. Sikong Yan's voice came from outside through several screens: "Your Highness Zhaoying, can you come in below?"
Shen Lanying was stunned for a moment, only to realize that this was calling her, and hurriedly found a cloth to cover the table full of palace lamp parts, and responded, "You come in." ”
The door was pushed open, and Sikong Yan walked in, still holding a huge box in his hand.
"What is this?" Shen Lanying ran from the back room to the main hall, and when she saw him placing a huge box on the table, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Sikong Yan put down the box in his hand and looked up at Shen Lanying. She has changed into a bright red Liuxian dress sent by the state government, Liuyun wide sleeves hang down by her side, although there is not a trace of pink on her delicate face, it can't hide her delicate temperament at all. For a moment, he suddenly felt that she was more suitable for these gorgeous brocade belts than the real Princess Zhaoying.
"You'll find out in a moment. Sikong Yan said and walked out again, and then walked in with a bunch of large and small boxes.
Shen Lanying looked at him moving things, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, her hunch was very correct, and when Sikong Yan finished moving everything and opened the boxes one by one, she knew that her good days were over. The contents of the box consisted of two chessboards and corresponding chess pieces, four treasures of the study plus a pen holder, a large stack of rice paper, embroidery and sewing supplies, and about fifty or so books, which filled two large thick books in sandalwood boxes.
Shen Lanying took out a book casually, and sadly found that the paper-making ability and printing technology of the ancients were quite good, and the pages were only half as thin as A4 paper, and all of them were small characters......
Shen Lanying solemnly put the book back, looked at Sikong Yan with a very strange expression, and asked, "...... these books?"
Sikong Yan smiled elegantly: "Nature is what you need to see." ”
I'll go!
After that, Shen Lanying never left the house, and was locked in the house by Sikong Yan all the time, handing over to her what she should know as a princess.
As a person who doesn't even know the common sense of ancient life, there are so many things to learn, and all the items are listed in a class schedule, court etiquette, contemporary politics, court music, calligraphy, painting, poetry, chess, ......
Of course, the most important one is to recognize people by looking at pictures. She needs to memorize all the resumes of people Princess Zhaoying knows, may know, and even don't know.
Because Sikong Yan once lied to Tang Aobo's father-in-law that she was in a nightmare, Zhou Zai came except for the first day she woke up, and she hasn't been here since.
At lunchtime, Sikong Yan told her that in order to carry out the lie he had casually withdrawn to the end, they had to stay in the Zhouzai Mansion in Wuzhou for about ten days, so that the outside world would think that Princess Zhaoying was not healed, and then he would escort her back to the capital, and it would have to be at a very slow pace, because everyone would think that Princess Zhaoying was delicate and could not stand the fatigue of traveling. So roughly calculated, they won't be able to get to the capital without two or three months.
This news is definitely bad news for Shen Lanying, not that she doesn't want to walk on the road for two or three months, on the contrary, enjoying the scenery along the road is no different from tourism for her. What made her very reluctant was to stay in Zhouzaifu for about ten days, because it showed that she had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for more than ten days under the supervision of the ambitious son, as well as look at pictures and recognize people.
For Shen Lanying, the best thing to learn is court etiquette, although there are some differences with the etiquette here, but Shen Lanying can be regarded as half an actor, but it is still relatively easy for her to pretend.
It seemed that seeing that Shen Lanying adapted quickly to court etiquette, Sikong Yan was very perverted and tied a weightless ornament around her waist. It was a long pendant with an oval piece of jade on top and several agate strings with thin threads at the end, with lotus-colored tassels at the end of the strings hanging down to the calf. It looks very exquisite, but it has a very ghostly name, called Forbidden Step. According to Sikong Yan, the forbidden step was originally only to suppress the skirt of the woman, but because when wearing the forbidden step with the walk, the beads such as broken jade, amber and agate on it will collide with each other and make a crisp sound.
What's more, Sikong Yan asked her to take a forbidden step at any time in the future, so as to regulate whether her movements are elegant and decent at any time......
As for court etiquette, Shen Lanying's hope that she would only occasionally make a show was dashed.
