After the queen mother dressed up Gu Ci, Yuan Yi led her to say goodbye to the emperor, preparing to go out of the palace to go to Quzhuan Pond to swim alone in a lake, and then to Zhishuangzhai to eat the dishes she made herself, and when there were few pedestrians at the beginning of the lanterns, take her to run home.

Unexpectedly, standing outside the Jinluan Hall were Gu Yao and Gu Ao, father and son.

Obviously, why is the daughter (sister) who went to Taoyu Lake with her sister to be with the prince?!

The faces of the father and son were quite unsightly, and their cold gaze made Yuan Yi a little uncomfortable.

Gu Ci didn't pay attention to this, she rushed over happily, and shouted 'yes' and 'second brother' in a small voice, she couldn't see these two a few times when she was busy, and it was a coincidence that she could meet here. It was not easy to talk in front of the emperor, and the three men fought with their eyes, and they smiled heartily at their father without knowing it.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't let them wait long, and called them in together.

After the salute, the emperor called Gu Ci over, looked up and down, and said with appreciation: "This new dress looks better than the one in the morning." ”

"My brother just gave it, and I think it's very beautiful."

Yuan Yi felt that he had been poked a few more holes in his body.

"Is this going out of the palace? Where are you going? ”

"My brother hasn't told me yet."

Everyone looked at Yuan Yi in unison, only to see the prince smiling calmly with two sharp eyes poking out of the hole, "I'll go to Chongwen Hall first to see if there are any books that Ah Luan likes." ”

Gu Ci didn't know his original plan, thinking that it would be good to go to the National Library! The dimples are deeper.

"Well, let's go. It's fun! The emperor generously let him go.

Gu Qi bowed and retired, Gu Yao smiled and touched her face, "Don't play too late, go home early for dinner." ”

Gu Ao followed up in time, "Today, my father and I can return early, I haven't eaten the Buddha made by Ah Luan for a long time, I miss it very much." ”

Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, she agreed to have dinner with Yuan Yi, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Yuan Yi, "I will remind her, uncle and cousin don't worry." He pulled her away quickly.

The two more aggressive lines of sight behind him pierced until the emperor coughed and did not disappear.

"Let someone leave a message for Ye Ye and the second brother, I want to eat with you first in the evening." Gu Ci pulled Yuan Yi's sleeve and said.

Yuan Yi's heart suddenly bloomed, "Okay, let's eat early, and send a copy of the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Lao Pan first, okay?" ”

"Okay. Let's go, I don't know if I'll see the little brother in the Chongwen Pavilion. ”

Yuan Yi's face stiffened with a smile, and in order to prevent this possibility from really happening, he decided to leave the palace immediately, and he didn't swim in the lake or run away, and went directly to Zhishuang Zhai.

***********************

can't go somewhere else to play, Gu Ci doesn't mind, she and Yuan Yi also have something to do in Zhishuangzhai.

For example, when she thought of the confidentiality of letters before, she taught him ten Arabic numerals, and then used the form of 'page-line-word' to show that they corresponded to the pages, lines, and words in the "Thousand Character Text". It is not the safest to have a wax seal again, you can hollow out a wooden ball, leaving only a small hole, and stuff the letter into it can only be taken out by cutting the wooden ball.

And Yuan Yi said that under her prompting, the Arsenal Division could burn steel with a water wheel and animal power to produce purer steel, and she immediately thought that she had watched the Japanese 'Yugang' documentary, and then picked up a pen and paper and began to endorse and write silently.

In fact, jade steel can be very close to the carbon content of modern steel, and it is completely an additional 'water reduction' process, which wraps the steel block with clay to prevent oxidation, and beats it into a thin sheet of uniform thickness after heating a specific number of times. These flakes are then water-cooled to strip off the fragments, leaving jade steel with a low carbon content. In the process of making knives, Gu Ci only knows that the blade gold and leather iron are made of hard steel, and the heart iron is made of jade steel, and such a dual structure is wrapped and calcined and cooled to form the arc of the Japanese knife, and the prototype of the knife is hammered out, and then the soil is quenched and quenched, and then it can enter the final adjustment stage such as fine carving, inlay, and inscription. This low-temperature forging process and construction allows experienced blacksmiths to increase their practice and may be able to make better and cheaper weapons. As for the steel filling and crucible steel, the latter is already in use, and she needs to know more about the situation of the steel plant before making plans.

Then the distribution of important minerals such as copper and iron, Gu Ci took the map, frowned and recited the geographical test points silently, and marked them with different colors.

Yuan Yi took her homework for the afternoon with emotion, looked at the circles of several colors north of Beiguan, and said with an understatement smile, "It seems that you have to completely beat Qianyi back to Yinshan." ”

Gu Ci just now only cared about his brain, and didn't pay attention to the territory, so he would be embarrassed to point to the northeast and say, "In addition to the rich minerals here, the soil quality is also very good, and it is so black and oily, but it is very cold." ”

Yuan Yi stared at her for a while, then suddenly hugged her tightly and whispered, "I know." Then he let go of her, "Didn't you say you were going to make me a bitter gourd dish, and I had to have dinner early today." ”

Gu Ci, who was confused by his bear hug, hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

In fact, it is very easy to make bitter gourd without bitterness, go to the pulp and cut into pieces, boil the boiling water and soak it in cold water, squeeze out the water several times after it is cold, and then fry and simmer it step by step, which is not bitter and absorbs oil, and is particularly delicious.

Yuan Yi ate happily, and he ate almost all of the bitter gourds on a plate

***********************

Yuan Yi sent Gu Ci home, just in time for the meal, Gu Yao politely left the meal, and when he sat down in Qingyi Hall, he found that only Xiao Lu and the Gu family's father and son, Yuyi took his daughter-in-law, grandson and daughter to eat by himself in the inner courtyard.

Yuan Yi didn't know how to eat a meal.

"It seems that the prince is not used to eating the food in the house now." Gu Yao, who drank tea and consumed food, seemed to be smiling.

"How could it be. Uncle, I used a little more snacks in Zhishuangzhai today, and I wasn't too hungry. ”

Xiao Lu interjected casually, "I'll take Ah Luan out in a few days, have those female soldiers of yours been prepared?" ”

Yuan Yi's expression tightened, and the coercive momentum of the superior poured out, "Why? ”

"Prepare to go to Langya and Anton."

Gu Ao added, "The emperor said today that he wanted to try out the 'whip method' from Langya first. ”

Yuan Yi Zhengse said, "I still have some details to discuss with you about this matter. But what does this have to do with Luan? ”

Gu Yao replied lightly, "There will be movement in the house recently, I don't worry about Ah Luan, it's okay to let her go out." ”

Gu Yi said, "I'll go too." ”

Yuan Yi thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Let Mingxiu follow her." ”

"The Queen Mother will send someone over, and the chamberlain will not need it." Gu Yao was noncommittal.

Yuan Yi refused to budge, "No, Mingxiu can use my people to summon the message, two days faster than the military department." ”

The rest of the people couldn't help but be stunned.

"On the next rest day, please go to Zhuangzi to see those female soldiers. I can arrange for a part of it to go first. ”

Gu Yao sighed in his heart and nodded.

Yuan Yi paused, "It's best to take Ah Luan with you and see what else she has to prepare." ”

Gu Yao's father and son's faces darkened.

Gu Ao immediately got up, "Please also invite the prince to sit in my study, and let's have a good chat." ”

Yuan Yi looked at Xiao Lu, who was watching from the wall, "Let's talk about it here, and ask Master and Uncle to help you go through the details together." ”

***********************

Gu Ci also heard the news that Yuyi could go far away, and wanted to be happy, so he hugged her waist with a bitter face and said sullenly, "Won't my mother go with us?" ”

Yuyi, who had just enjoyed a meal of attentive service, was in a very happy mood and teased her, "Then what about your father?" ”

"How long will it take?"

"Then I don't know."

"When are you leaving?"

"Ask you, Master."

"Can you wait until April 5th before leaving?"

"Why?"

"It's my brother's birthday."

Yuyi didn't speak.

"He doesn't like birthdays, and if I don't make him longevity noodles, he won't eat what my grandmother makes."

Yuyi sighed, "Empress Xiao passed away on the day she gave birth to him. ”

"I know, that's why I want to ......"

Yuyi looked at her and suddenly laughed badly, "Has Luan ever thought about marrying Brother Yuan?" ”

What?! Gu Ci seemed to have been struck by lightning, and looked up at her blankly, "Mother, are you teasing me?" I'm so big! ”

"Don't want to? I think you're very close. ”

“…… Didn't you tell me to get along with him? ”

"Think he's bad?"

"That's not what it means. When I grow up, his children will all be making soy sauce......"

Yuyi was overjoyed and scratched her little nose, "Okay, when my family grows up, my mother will pick a good son-in-law for you." ”
