Chapter 12: New Things
I have to say that the glass craftsmen here are still very capable. It only takes seven or eight days to get the thermometer ready. Chen Wenhui looked at the thermometer on the table and was very happy. This thermometer is obviously much larger than the one used in the previous life, no way, the first time I did it, it was too difficult to be so small in the previous life. It doesn't matter, it can be slowly improved later.
The size is not important, the key is the function. Chen Wenhui ordered someone to call Ziyu. Ziyu has come back in the past two days, in addition to talking to Wen Hui about some things in Zhuangzi, that is, to train the two newly promoted girls Green Cicada and Qingluan in Bai's room, and there are some things to explain to Bai's, such as the placement of items, jewelry and clothes, and so on. After a while, Ziyu came, and Chen Wenhui taught Ziyu how to use a thermometer.
Then he told sΓΉ Ziyu: "Do you remember what I told you about hatching chicks before?" Ziyu hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, I have been in the village all the time, but I always can't grasp the temperature of the hen hatching. Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, now I asked someone to make a thermometer just for you." You take a thermometer to measure the temperature of the hen's nest when the hen hatches the chicks, the temperature of the hen's abdomen, measure it several times, find a few more hens, and then summarize it, and use this temperature to burn the kang to see if the chicks can hatch. β
Ziyu's eyes suddenly flashed: "It turns out that the girl asked me to come back just to wait for the thermometer." Yes, with this I can control the temperature at which the hens hatch. The girl is too smart. β
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Where is it smart, how can I come up with such a good method, in fact, these have already been discovered, but they have not been promoted." It was discovered by the people of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty invented a lot of good methods, but the previous dynasty was very chaotic, and the officials only knew how to compete for power, and did not promote these methods, and these were scattered in miscellaneous books. I see that if it is useful to us, I will naturally sue you, and if you are really good, we will be able to spread it. In the future, not only will we be a Zhuangzi, but our entire family will be profitable. The most important thing is that when the people in the Zhuangzi are rich, they can live in good houses and wear good clothes. β
Chen Wenhui's words solved the doubts in Ziyu's heart, as well as the doubts of Yin Hong, Feiguang and others. It turns out that these are all from the previous dynasty. Although they are all servants, they are born in the big family of the Chen family, and their knowledge is far higher than that of ordinary people, and even ordinary scholars.
When they were young, they had heard the story of the elder servants of the family who told the glorious history of their family, and said that the previous dynasty was a magical dynasty, and that dynasty began to pay a lot of attention to invention, and many people from craftsmen became high-ranking officials. However, it was not good in the later period, the emperor was mediocre, the ministers fought for power, the world was chaotic, and finally the world was full of smoke, and the heroes competed in the Central Plains, and the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty led a group of family leaders, such as the Chen family, the Bai family, the Zhao family, the Li family, and the ancestors of the Lin family laid a great good river.
Therefore, when they heard Chen Wenhui say that these were from the previous dynasty, they immediately believed it. At the same time, I also feel that the girl in my family is smart, and I can find such useful knowledge from miscellaneous books, it seems that Chen Yuanheng is prosperous as long as he is prospering, and besides, the girl knows to pity the poor at such a young age, and they are also happy. Although they are all born in the family, they are slaves after all, and they have to be strictly trained when they are young, and when other children are still awkward in their mother's arms, they have already learned the rules from Momo, so they can understand the suffering of the poor. Unexpectedly, the girls who grew up in the splendid nest could experience this at a young age, and they were very moved.
Chen Wenhui's remarks have been thought of a long time ago. In this dynasty, she has to be careful, she doesn't want to be suspected, and the only way to hide the knowledge of her past life is to push it to the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, because of Fusu, a predecessor who traveled through the past, a lot of things that were ahead of the times emerged. So, if there are strange things, all the things that are returned to the front are the best way.
Ziyu later told Chen Wenhui's words to the Bai family, and of course also told Chen Wenjun who served Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin's clear water and blue lines. In this way, the last trace of doubt in the hearts of Chen Yuanheng, Bai Shi, Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin was also dispelled. In its place, there was a sense of euphoria. They also believe that with the intelligent Chen Wenhui and the concerted efforts of the Chen family, prosperity is just around the corner.
Ziyu returned to the village with hope for the Chen family, admiration for Chen Wenhui, new technology, and an uncle-like Dr. Li. Dr. Li was very serious about treating Li's honest wife, Aunt Gu, because of the money. After reading it, I came to the conclusion that it was just an ordinary stomach problem, but because it had been delayed for a long time, and now the situation is strict.
But it can still be treated, but it needs to be taken with medicine first, because it is a chronic disease, so it cannot be solved by one or two doses. Ziyu said that this is not a problem, and all the medical expenses will be borne by the Chen family. Li Laoshi's family was moved and kowtowed again. Dr. Li prescribed the medicine, ordered him to go to the medicine hall where he was in the city to get the medicine, and made an appointment for seven doses of medicine, and then came to see the doctor, and then changed the prescription, and then sent back to the city by the Chen family's carriage.
Li Laoshi's family couldn't express their gratitude to the Chen family, so they could only supervise the logging and planting. Ziyu began to use the thermometer in the Chen family's house in the village to do it seriously. Ziyu lives in the Chen family's house in the village, and in addition to doing practical work every day, her spare time is to take her two mothers-in-law and her husband Gu Damiang to direct the people in the village to renovate the house. According to the previous design, flowers and fruit trees were planted.
The people in the village were very envious when they saw the demeanor of the Ziyu operation, and they were even more envious of the two girls of the Li family who entered the mansion. The old families all asked someone to find Ziyu and said that they also wanted to send the girl there. Ziyu thought, the Chen family came here from an outsider, and there were not many people with them, and if they wanted to develop in the future, they would be even more lacking in manpower, if they could pick a few good ones, those who knew the roots, and those who were loyal, it would be good.
He sent a letter to the Bai family in the city, and the Bai family felt that Ziyu's construction was good, so he asked Ziyu to pick a few, not only girls, but also small girls, buy them first, and put them in Ziyu to teach the rules. I'll send it back after I've taught it. In this way, Ziyu's life in the Grange has become very busy.
After Ziyu left, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered that the eldest brother still owed him an inkstone, so he went to the eldest brother's main room. The main room of the eldest brother is opened, and there is a large study room when you enter the door, and there is a big case in the study, and there is a large celadon bottle on the case, and there are many painting scrolls inserted in the bottle, and next to it is a nine-frame mahogany pen holder, which is full of various thick and thin brushes. On the other side, there are many famous posts for writing, as well as a square inkstone. There is a window table by the window, and there is a large white porcelain flower sac from the official kiln, which is full of fresh peony flowers at the moment.
A maid wearing a pine-colored sprinkled flower Lingzi shoulder, tied an emerald sprinkled silk skirt, combed a weeping cloud bun, inserted a Huasheng, white and tender face, and apricot eyes, walked with a smile: "The girl is here." Please sit inside. As he spoke, Chen Wenjun came out of the bedroom. I saw him wearing a homely green jade chisel and a blue homely silk gown, with green bluegrass embroidered on the edges of the robe. Tied with a green luan, hanging a beautiful jade.
Chen Wenjun was very happy when he saw his sister: "Why does my sister have time to come to me?" Don't you have to learn from your mother today? I've been getting better and better these days, but I can't be careless. Chen Wenhui walked straight to the Taishi chair next to the window, and then said with a smile: "Big brother, you asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?" β
Chen Wenjun smiled, too, caring is chaotic, because his sister was sick all the year round before, and rarely came to his house, and when he arrived, he ran to his sister two times in three days. Chen Wenjun walked to the other side of the window table and sat down on the Taishi chair. said: "I know, my sister has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Chen Wenhui jumped up suddenly: "Big brother, how do you know?" Well, I can't be bluffed by you, guess what, why am I here? β
At this time, Biwen had already brewed the tea and served it. Chen Wenjun casually picked up the cup of celadon from the official kiln, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Sister, I must have come for the inkstone." Chen Wenhui looked at the lotus pattern on the celadon cup curiously, and said, "Big brother is really smart." I'm here for that peach blossom Venus inkstone of yours, bring it to me and show it. In addition, because you haven't offered it to me for so long, I'm going to add interest. β
"Poof" Chen Wenjun squirted out a sip of tea: "Sister, I've never heard that Caitou can still have interest." Besides, when you are young, where did you know the word interest? Chen Wenhui was very disapproving: "I follow my mother to read the accounts every day, and I already know it." What's this, anyway, the inkstone also needs it, and the interest also needs it, well, I want this set of Lianhuawen's official kiln tea set. Chen Wenjun smiled angrily and said to Biwen: "Hurry up and bring the Venus Peach Blossom Inkstone in the box, next time the girl comes, remember not to bring a good tea set, next time you can make tea for her, just use an earthen kiln cup." Biwen smiled and agreed.
The flying light beside Chen Wenhui was very hard to hold back her smile. Chen Wenhui didn't feel conscious at all: "Hmph, if you don't give me good things, it doesn't matter, won't I find it myself?" As he spoke, Biwen had already brought a brocade box. It turned out that Chen Wenjun had already been ready, but he hadn't had time to give it out yet. Chen Wenhui couldn't wait to get it. Biwen changed hands to Feiguang, and said: "Don't worry, girl, this is very heavy, be careful if you fall, it's a small thing to fall, and it's not fun to hit your foot." Let Feiguang open it for you. Chen Wenhui nodded.
Feiguang had already opened the brocade box and put it beside Wen Hui. Wen Hui took a closer look, it was really good, warm, moist, clean, the carving was very good, the peach blossoms on the inkstone, mixed with a little Venus, like a flower in the rain. Wen Hui knows that this Venus is a special sulfur, naturally generated, and the words written in this one have a sulfur smell, which is the most insect-proof. Wen Hui was satisfied and asked Feiguang to put the box away. Played at Big Brother for a while.
For a moment, Chen Wenjun was already sweating profusely. Because Chen Wenhui actually climbed to the case and looked through his famous calligraphy. Of course, when Wen Hui left, in addition to the inkstone and tea set, she also brought two notebooks. Chen Wenjun looked at the messy study and smiled bitterly.
