Chapter 66: Blue Moon Lake
After Sun Siyuan entered the table, she seemed to vaguely see "herself" former fiancé, the son of the Sun family. But the figure passing by in front of her was not very real, she had no intention of verifying it, so she didn't care too much.
After attending the wedding banquet, Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian went back to the inn, thinking that when they came out at noon, the relatives and friends of the enemy family did not dare to make trouble in the cave room.
According to the arrangement on the "itinerary", the young couple has one last stop: Blue Moon Lake.
In Sun Siyuan's view, the blue star is very similar to the earth, with a sidereal sun and a moon moon. Sun Siyuan didn't know if the moon lived or not, but the Taoists of this world did have some Taoism, which she couldn't deny.
According to Taoist records, the moon god has no gender, and folklore, the moon god is a person who combines men and women, and often wanders the world in the form of a person, and the deity is the moon.
Miraculously, at Blue Moon Lake, the moon is split in two at night, which is also a unique spectacle in the country of Xinxi, which is regarded as a sacred place by those who believe in the moon god.
The two of them and a carriage stopped at the edge of the Blue Moon Lake, and they planned to spend the night here, and they would go back to Beijing directly the next day.
It was getting dark, and many people gathered by the Blue Moon Lake, all of whom came to admire the moon in the lake. Sun Siyuan and his wife lit a fire and roasted some prepared meat to eat.
The moon in the sky slowly unveils its mystery and reveals itself to the eyes of the world. It's not the middle of the moon, it's not a full moon in the sky, but it's not as bright as a full moon.
"Wow, it's really two moons!" Sun Siyuan stood up and looked at the two bright moons reflected in the lake. "It's amazing!" She couldn't help but admire.
Although he suspected in his heart that it might be because of some special topography here, which caused the Twin Moon Wonders, Sun Siyuan didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Some things are not beautiful when viewed too clearly.
Around the moon, the stars are barely visible, but far away from the moon, a little starlight spills onto the earth. The blue sky, the stars and the moon are shining, it is a beautiful scenery!
The curtain swept the ground, Sun Siyuan gradually became confused, and finally fell asleep leaning on Zhao Youqian, Zhao Youqian moved Sun Siyuan to his position, hugged him in his arms, covered his body with a blanket, and did not return to the carriage, just leaned on the fire and fell asleep quietly.
Xiaobai stood on the side, his eyes closed, and he seemed to have been asleep for a while. The fire burned spontaneously, the moongazers gradually rested, and the whole world was quiet, only a few insect chirps, flickering in this heaven and earth.
Moon white, sky blue.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh......h Yawn ...... "On the official road, a woman's sneezing sound came from time to time in a carriage, and looking at the woman's face, it turned out to be Sun Siyuan.
At this time, Sun Siyuan scolded Zhao Youqian while covering her nose: "It's all your fault, woo, ah...... Yawn...... You don't know how to put me at night...... Forehead...... Bring back the carriage...... Yes...... Ahh......h Zhao is rich, you big idiot......"
Zhao Youqian was counted down by Sun Siyuan for an hour, and he didn't want to pay attention to Sun Siyuan after turning over and over those two sentences.
Yes, it was his fault that Sun Siyuan was cold, he patronized his own careful thoughts, ignoring Sun Siyuan's physique and the weather at night today. But Sun Siyuan is too verbose......
For the first time, he found his own lady so annoying......
After two hours, Sun Siyuan remembered that there was a mountain of medicine in his space, and there was a magical spiritual spring.
"Zhao is rich, it's all your fault!" Reluctantly, Sun Siyuan found cold medicine from the space, unpacked it and ate one.
"I don't know how long these pills will last." Although Sun Siyuan is accustomed to the laws of space, she still lacks confidence in these medicines that already have an expiration date. Whether it can last for ten years is really a question.
Throw the medicine to Zhao Youqian: "Put it away, I will take it at night." Zhao Youqian silently put it away, this is the first time he has seen this medicine.
When she returned home, Sun Siyuan's symptoms had disappeared, and she sweetly called Zhao Youqian "rich", Zhao Youqian muttered in her heart: Sure enough, women are fickle!
Steward Zhuang conveyed the emperor's meaning to the couple as soon as possible: Don't run away if you have nothing to do, report in advance!
Sun Siyuan pouted, Zhao Youqian told her, and there were people who followed them far behind them all the way. Do you still have to report like this? The defense is very tight, and she doesn't plan to raise a banner to rebel!
went to the small courtyard where Steward Zhuang lived, and Sun Siyuan wanted to check whether the task she gave to Steward Zhuang had been completed seriously!
"Hey, I'm so disgusted, this level, oops, I can't watch it." Holding a clay square seal, he hurt the Zhuang steward on his mouth, but he praised in his heart, the Zhuang steward is good, and he is a good hand at playing with mud!
This is the movable type printing technique that Sun Siyuan accidentally remembered when he was reading a book, so he handed it over to Steward Zhuang to experiment.
In this world, paper is expensive, books are more expensive, all books are copied by hand, and the efficiency is low, Sun Siyuan thought, should I make movable type printing and disrupt the market - oh no, it is for the benefit of students all over the world.
Movable type printing, if a single copy is printed, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the more booklets are printed, the more time-saving and labor-saving, and more cost-effective. As long as the movable type is typeset, one page is printed and then the next page is re-typeset and printed, if the movable type is printed more, many pages can also be prepared at the same time, as long as the printed paper is bound into a book, even if a book is completed, in this way, the efficiency is increased by more than ten times!
Steward Zhuang spent many days of hard work, and finally prepared more than 1,800 square seals, which has included most of the commonly used words.
"Steward Zhuang, you don't have enough, if you use common words, you should prepare a few more square seals for each one to prevent multiple uses on the same page, and one thousand eight hundred words is obviously not enough, you should prepare at least five hundred!"
There are fewer characters in Xinxi than Chinese characters, and the commonly used words are at most two thousand, as for why Sun Siyuan wants two thousand three, hum, it is purely a difficult housekeeper.
Although Grandma Shu once wrote a "dictionary" of this world for Sun Siyuan, in fact, there is no such thing as a dictionary, and the current emperor wants to make a dictionary that includes all the languages of Xinxi Kingdom, but unfortunately it has not yet started. Steward Zhuang made clay prints, all based on his own impressions and a few books, naturally it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and the later it is, the more difficult it is.
Sun Siyuan's idea is also simple, he can't cure the emperor, he can only take revenge on Steward Zhuang to get angry, anyway, it's not a difficult torture, just a chance to give Steward Zhuang a chance to train himself!
Steward Zhuang didn't want to think about Sun Siyuan's sinister intentions, but continued to play with mud with all his heart. He is the person who follows the emperor to serve, and he naturally has a vision, if movable type printing can be done, this is a matter of merit in the present and in the future!
He had already mentioned this matter to the emperor once, and if it really could be done, he would definitely recommend it to the emperor, and let the emperor reward her with a lot of her favorite gold and silver money!
The movable type printing clay has not yet been completed, Sun Siyuan has begun to buy a large amount of white paper, thanks to the large amount of new paper launched by the imperial merchant Ji family, otherwise the paper price in the capital can be raised by Sun Siyuan alone.
