Chapter 059: Album
Because of the aroma of this wine, Ling Yan couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and said to Xiao Yu: "After knowing you, I really got a lot of good things, and I didn't know how to thank you for saving me before." ”
"It's just a matter of convenience, and I'm fine. Besides, didn't General Ling thank you? If Miss Ling still wants to thank me, when someone bullies me, I can use my name to use it. ”
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled. After she saved Ling Yan last time, Ling Yi came to the door the next day with a generous gift to thank her. She was unintentional in saving people, but soon she heard a private discussion from the general's mansion, and she did not mention the danger of saving people in her words, but she envied her for making the general's mansion owe favors and climb this big tree.
Since this is the case, Xiao Yu might as well simply pull the banner of the General's Mansion to do things.
Ling Yan smiled: "I like you to be honest and frank. However, don't say that people who are idle don't dare to deceive you, even if you do, you will be beaten off by the people in General Lane first, why do you need to report my name. ”
"If that's the case, it's all because the dim sum made by Sister Ah tastes so good, but it's not my credit."
"Second Miss Xiao sent the snacks to the city, there is no merit and hard work. You two are too stingy, and if you have good wine, you hide and eat. ”
Ling Yan and Xiao Yu turned their heads to look, but it was Ling Yi who came over. Ling Yan hurriedly asked Xiao Xue to fetch an extra wine glass.
Xiao Yu immediately clarified: "This black cauldron can't be carried, I brought another jar to General Ling, and when I entered the door, the steward took it to the wine cellar and put it away." ”
"Thank you so much, girl." Ling Yi smiled with a smile.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "This peach was made by me on a whim, although the aroma is strong but the taste of wine is light, it is more suitable for women to drink, I am afraid that it does not meet the taste of the general, and I should not thank you." ”
Ling Yi smiled in return, and then said solemnly: "This wine is not enough to thank you, what about the girl's intention to let Hao Jun transfer sour bamboo shoots and tomatoes before?" Especially the medicine that stops bleeding. It is common for the army to be wounded and bleed, and with this medicine, the soldiers are tantamount to an extra life. Ling is very grateful. ”
Xiao Yu naturally said a few words modestly.
"Second Miss Xiao knows so many things that others don't recognize, so it can be seen that she must know how to identify the types of medicinal materials on weekdays."
"The general is overrated." Xiao Yu heard the tentative meaning in Ling Yi's words, and said it softly.
Ling Yi didn't delve into it, took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Good wine." ”
Ling Yan next to her immediately smiled and asked, "Is it comparable to my grandfather's Lanling wine?" ”
The mother of the two came from the branch of the Xiao family of Lanling, a thousand-year-old family, and the family is as expensive as the Su family in Nanyue, but now the Su family has declined, but the Xiao family is still famous and prosperous. The Shaw family's home-brewed wine has been passed down from generation to generation and has a long reputation, and it is still used by the royal family today.
Ling Yi smiled: "It's not too much." ”
Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "The general has been raised, how can some meager wine be compared with Lanling wine." ”
The two brothers and sisters of the Ling family looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them chatted while drinking, and for a while mentioned that they were doing their jobs. Ling Yan said that this is true whether it is a family, a businessman, or even governing the country and employing people.
Ling Yi said: "Speaking of this, I think of one thing. There are soldiers on duty in charge of guarding the border and city defense, and their candidates must be deaf and clear-sighted and far-sighted. A few days ago, there was a thief in Yanzhou Haijiang who thought of a way to hurt the eyes of the lookout, which gave the garrison a headache, because he couldn't find a replacement person with sharp eyes for the time being. ”
Xiao Yu was quite surprised that Ling Yi talked about things in the army under this situation, but when he looked at Ling Yan again, his expression was as usual, and he was a little relieved, but his heart moved slightly, and he thought of something.
Ling Yi was good at observing words and feelings, noticed Xiao Yu's expression, and asked, "Could it be that the second girl Xiao has any high opinions?" ”
Seeing his question, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know if Daqi has a clairvoyant mirror now?" It is a round tube, through which the scene from thousands of miles away seems to be in front of you. ”
"Is there anything so wonderful in the world?" Ling Yi stood up solemnly and asked eagerly, "Where did Second Miss Xiao learn about this?" How to make this clairvoyant mirror, or where can I find it? ”
Xiao Yu really did some research, and he did it in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have said it rashly. Seeing that Ling Yi and Ling Yan were all looking at her expectantly, they didn't know if there were any materials needed at the moment.
"I've seen it in ancient books, but I don't think it's in the present world, and as for whether it can be made, it depends on the materials and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and luck." Xiao Yu held his chin in his hand and said unhurriedly, "Is there glass now?" If you want to be as clear and bright as white crystal, can you fire it now? ”
Ling Yi immediately nodded in affirmation, "Yes." There is an official kiln for firing glass in Canglin County, South Vietnam. ”
This was beyond Xiao Yu's expectations, but she immediately said: "If this is the case, it will be a little more possible to make a clairvoyant mirror." It's just that the parts and structure are difficult to explain, and a diagram has to be drawn. ”
Ling Yi said with a smile: "Xiao Er's girl Danqing is exquisite, and every grass and tree she paints is delicate and lifelike, and this clairvoyant mirror is no problem." ”
"Where can I see my handwriting, General?" Xiao Yu was surprised.
Ling Yi smiled, called Bai Lu to explain a few words, and the maid left in response. Only then did he turn his head and smile: "Second Miss Xiao, didn't you forget that you had painted three seven for Ling to identify?" And I have another album here. ”
Just when Xiao Yu was suddenly puzzled, Bai Lu came over with a booklet. Ling Yi took it and handed it to Xiao Yu. Ling Yan also looked at it curiously.
Isn't this the atlas of things that Qin Guangyu painted before? Xiao Yu opened it and recognized it. When you look closely, it is not the original, but a copy.
"Where did you get the general?"
"The person entrusted by Qin Guangyu is a little friend below, I happened to see such a strange thing in his place, so I imitated a copy."
Ling Yi said leisurely: "I'm curious about what ancient books the girl reads, so all-encompassing. You know, many well-read Confucians don't know as much about as many rare things as you. ”
Xiao Yu secretly said that it was not good, she seemed to be too public, and she seemed to be demonic, so she had to say: "That is an ancient book that my father got from nowhere, I like this miscellaneous book the most, and I often read it, and I remember some." Unfortunately, it was accidentally burned down later. ”
Ling Yi sighed repeatedly, then turned his head and said, "I'll just ask someone to take pen and ink and wait, and let the girl draw the sketch of the clairvoyant mirror?" ”
"Over the years, my impression of this clairvoyant mirror has been a little blurred, I'm afraid I have to go back and think about it seriously and think about it carefully." Xiao Yu shook his head and said.
Ling Yi realized that he was too anxious. This can't be blamed on him, thinking that if this thing really has such a supernatural effect, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to reconnoiter and discover the enemy's situation in the future, and all kinds of benefits make it really difficult for him as a general to deal with it indifferently. He agreed, and instructed him to send the sketch as soon as he finished drawing.
Next to her, Ling Yan was flipping through the album and couldn't put it down, it was equivalent to a book of strange stories, and it was full of pictures and texts. borrowed it from his brother at the moment, and said without waiting for Xiao Yu to leave: "Ah Yu, come over as soon as possible, I have something I don't understand to ask you for advice." ”
Xiao Yu smiled and said that he didn't dare to be, and then he responded.
