- The caravan led by Yan Yu today has begun to enter the city for inspection, and it may be a little troublesome to cut the queue at this time, and his idea is a compromise. However, it is easy to do things with people under your hands, and even if it is a compromise solution, it is very fast and worry-free.

The matter was temporarily settled, and Yan Yu took the three of them to the gate where the civilians entered the city.

After walking around, the things in the brocade bag hanging on Yan Yu's waist unconsciously revealed a corner, Yang Chen saw it, and his heart was surprised, it turned out that the brocade bag that seemed to be redundant was filled with a delicate small abacus.

Yang Chen thought to himself: As a descendant of a big businessman, his style of doing things is really very individual. If the general's leadership is the armor that does not leave him, then as the leader of a caravan, Yan Yu also carries an abacus with him to help keep his mind clear at all times. Even if this intention is not the whole reason for doing everyone's business, it is also necessary!

When Wang Zhe introduced Yang Chen to Yan Yu, it was as if he was his own hired worker - although before he was employed by the Wang family, Yang Chen still had a few questions in his heart and did not say anything, and this matter was only a stroke of the line, and it was incomplete.

Yan Yu is now the head of the Dongzhou District of Yanjia Industry for the time being, and she is very stylish, well-organized, rough and subdivided. Seeing that Wang Zhe has been introduced here, he naturally will not do anything to dig the roots.

In fact, to put it clearly, because Yang Chen is only half a servant of the Wang family, and as the young head of the Yan family, there is no need to make friends with Yang Chen, so naturally he doesn't have to know this person so thoroughly. However, today I want to go to the city with Wang Zhe for a drink. It's okay for peers to bring Yang Chen.

Soon passed the inspection and entered the city, because Yan Yu had already arrived, and he was in charge of the Yan family's property in Dongzhou, so he must have been familiar with the guards at the city gate, so he went directly into the city after taking a look.

Walking on the straight road in the north inner city, Bu Yu remembered the expression of the city gate guards when they saw Yan Yu just now, and couldn't help but quip: "I thought that Yan Dangjia would take us that way!" ”

Wang Zhe, who was walking on Yan Yu's other hand, immediately said: "Make a big fuss!" ”

Yan Yu, who was walking between the two, smiled and said slowly: "I don't know where Bu Gongzi is going, it's Yan's negligence." But to put it mildly, although that path is a reward from His Majesty the Emperor. But Yan doesn't really like to go that way. It's just because once after Yan entered the city from there, he actually found that someone was following him, which was really helpless! ”

As the shining star of the business community of Zhaoguo, the current emperor has a special reward for the Yan family. In Kyoto, which is very heavily guarded. A door was opened especially for the Yan family. Both the Yan family master and the three young masters can go directly to Guò to enter the inner city of Kyoto.

Since ancient times, fame and fortune have complemented each other, and although this reward is actually of little value, it is a symbol of glory. Rich and face-saving. Who wouldn't want to? Especially for a wealthy man like the Yan family, who makes money almost to the top, fame and glory will become something that makes the master's family happy and satisfied more than silver!

However, Yang Chen didn't know about this special matter, so he listened to the conversation between the people in front of him, and he heard it in a fog, but it was not good to ask what it was immediately.

Hearing that someone was following Yan Yu, Wang Zhe's eyes fluttered.

As a reward for the son of the emperor of the Yan family, Wang Zhe had to make some promises to Yan Yu in person anyway after Yan Yu mentioned this matter personally. But considering that there was still a Yang Chen by his side at this time, Wang Zhe was a little difficult, and it was difficult to find out his identity.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhe had another idea in his heart, and said: "Although Master Bu doesn't care about this, he has a lot of contacts with Kyoto Prefecture in court affairs, so please ask Bu Yu to bring a letter to Master Bu about this matter." ”

Wang Zhe said and gave Bu Yu another look.

Although Bu Yu's father belongs to the ranks of Beijing officials, and he can find his location in the ranks of the Three Days and One Dynasty Meeting, what Yan Yu said today is obviously beyond the scope of Master Bu's affairs.

Although he is much older than the current Kyoto Prefecture governor, he is one level lower in terms of rank. It is barely feasible to ask him to bring words, but this is based on the premise that he has a relationship with Kyoto Prefecture, otherwise it will be a bit nosy and displeased.

Although this matter seemed a little reluctant, after Wang Zhe's eyes came, as a friend who had played with him since childhood, Bu Yu immediately came to his senses.

It is likely that it is barely counted, and in the end, Wang Zhe will personally go to his father who is the emperor. mentioned his father today, but Wang Zhe was unable to explain his identity, and he had to give Yan Yu an explanation, so he made this compromise trick.

"Near the Yuci Road crossing, there are actually people who peep and follow, it's really audacious!" Bu Yu opened his mouth first, expressing his anger after learning about this, and then he smiled at Yan Yu again, and said with a serious look: "Yan Dangjia, please rest assured, about this matter, Bu Mou will definitely bring the words." ”

In dealing with serious matters, Bu Yu is not ambiguous - as long as others do not stir up serious things into an improper atmosphere.

Yan Yu waved his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I really have to bother Bu Gongzi." ”

Seeing Wang Zhe's statement and watching the eye contact between him and Bu Yu, Yan Yu also realized that the coachman surnamed Yang who walked at the end of the group may not be included in the category of Wang Zhe's complete trust. At the same time, he also understood that it was the right choice for him to make reservations about Wang Zhe's identity at the beginning, and he knew more and more that today's conversation should leave more leeway.

As soon as this matter was over, Wang Zhe's heart was relieved, and he remembered another thing, and asked casually: "Actually, when I was thinking about how to enter the city faster, I also doubted whether such a huge convoy in front of me would belong to the Yan family, and whether I would meet acquaintances because of this." But I took a closer look, it didn't seem to be the Yan family, the flag and emblem of the team were very unfamiliar, but now it looks like you are in charge of the Yan family? ”

"Wang Gongzi guessed half right." Yan Yu smiled slightly, "But the half that didn't guess correctly is afraid that no one can guess." ”

After a slight pause, Yan Yu slowed down his speech. Slowly: "This caravan was originally my uncle's industrial chain, and it hasn't been built for a long time, so it may still seem a little strange in the eyes of Wang Gongzi. Now that my uncle is getting older, I was supposed to be in the custody of my cousin, but ......"

Considering the next question to be talked about, involving the former officials in the imperial court, and there is a rule in the Zhaolu that is not drawn to the surface, that is, the absolute fault zone between official affairs and commercial affairs, Yan Yu can't help but hesitate in her heart.

In the end, he chose not to shy away from saying bluntly: "But...... There was a murder in the city during the day today. The slaughter was horrific. Yan's cousin led the team halfway to the road when he received a letter from Kuaima, he was a little worried about whether there were still killers left in the city, so he sent a letter to call me, who had entered the city with the convoy before him and stayed in Kyoto for the time being, to help. ”

Yan Yu said. I couldn't help but sigh softly. It's just that I don't know what he is sighing for.

"I see." Wang Zhe only smiled faintly when he heard this. Nothing else.

Wang Zhe naturally knew about the fact that the former official Shangshu was killed by a group of assassins who suddenly broke out in the prison car on the way to the execution ground to be beheaded. It's just that although he is a prince. But he only had the obligation to know, and he had never been involved in the affairs of the court and China—even though the emperor had taken the initiative to express this intention to him, asking him to assist in political affairs—at this time, he was a little amused when Yan Yu mentioned this matter in person.

Seeing Wang Zhe groaning, Yan Yu was faintly still a little jealous of his identity, so he suddenly smiled, changed the topic and said half-jokingly: "Actually, to put it bluntly, I am giving my cousin a hand today, otherwise how can I hang up halfway before the caravan has completely entered the city?" ”

"Yan is being humble again, and I'm afraid that no one in the world can invite you to 'help'." Realizing that the atmosphere suddenly turned a little cold, Bu Yu opened his mouth to meet Yan Yu's words, and at the same time, he also glanced at Wang Zhe, who was slightly drooping.

"Bu Gongzi has won the award." Yan Yu hurriedly responded with a smile.

At this moment, Wang Zhe suddenly spoke, but what he said didn't seem to fit the atmosphere at this time, "Kyoto is guarded by martial gods, and ordinary bandits will never dare to trespass into the territory of Kyoto to make trouble, and the masters of the rivers and lakes ...... How many masters are willing to take the risk of committing murder in Kyoto? It's definitely hard to get out of the hands of the Martial God. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, raised his eyebrows to look at Yan Yu, and said with a smile: "The people who assassinated the prisoners today are obviously outlaws, and they came with the heart of death. They quickly got what they wanted, and after the murder, they only escaped a street away, and were surrounded and suppressed by the city patrol team. This matter is just a small fish in the sea swinging their tails, and they can't make a big move, and the Yan family is trading here, so they don't have to care. ”

His tone seemed to be comforting, but it suddenly cooled the atmosphere of small talk between several people.

The biggest ups and downs in my heart are Yang Chen, who walked at the end of the group.

When there was a bloody case at the entrance of the vegetable market today, Yang Chen stayed at a section of the intersection not far away and waited for business. At that time, he had just woken up, and his eyes were not fully open, and his sleepiness did not pass until the commotion caused by the bloodshed had completely quieted down.

The order in Kyoto is very well controlled, and even if the former official was killed in the street in the prisoner car, except for the part of the people who 'saw is believing', the matter had little impact on other ordinary people. For example, Yang Chen, who was nearby at the time, only felt like he had missed a scene.

But Wang Zhe's analysis of this matter is so clear and meticulous, as if the person who handled this matter is himself, which makes others inevitably surprised. Yang Chen couldn't help but carefully look at Wang Zhe who was walking on Yan Yu's right hand, and he felt that the familiarity of this person seemed to disappear in an instant.

This person...... Who exactly is it?

Yang Chen retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes staring for a moment.

Hearing Wang Zhe's analysis, Yan Yu's eyes also froze for a moment, and then he nodded, smiled meaningfully, nodded and said: "Wang Gongzi's analysis is like iron, so that people only feel solid when they listen to it. My cousin hasn't been in business for a long time, and he's still a half-novice, so he's a little timid. But in the future, my cousin will inherit my uncle's inheritance, and if this temperament does not change, it will not work, and I will quote Wang Gongzi's words to listen to him again when I go back, so that he can gain more knowledge. ”

"How dare you." Wang Zhe said with a smile: "What Wang said is roughly relieved, and it has nothing to do with business. ”

Although his words were so, Yang Chen, who was at the end of the group, couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart when he heard this. If Wang Zhe's casual words can occupy a certain weight in Yan Shao's heart. Even if Yan Yu may just raise it on the surface, it can reveal Wang Zhe's identity that should not be underestimated.

Who is he?

From this moment on, Yang Chen realized that Yan Yu must have known Wang Zhe's identity, but until the two sides met and chatted for so long, he still couldn't see through Wang Zhe's identity at all.

A group of four people walked and chatted, especially Wang Zhe and Yan Yu, who seemed to have endless topics to talk about with each other. Nevertheless. Yan Yu's vision is still very wide. I quickly found a restaurant and went straight to the third floor.

The running guy in this restaurant seems to know Yan Yu and knows this kind of role, as long as he serves well. Who cares about money! I saw that he had brought a friend. The guy who ran the hall immediately led the group into a separate private room. And when the guy who ran the hall went upstairs, he called a few guys with quick hands and feet. As soon as the four of them were seated, the fruit snacks, Wushan Chunjian and so on were served at the right time before the start of the main meal.

After ordering a full meal of wine and food, Wang Zhe and Yan Yu chatted again.

Wang Zhe has been to many places. Yan Yu too; Wang Zhe's words are generous and reasonable, and Yan Yu is like a humble gentleman who is friendly and courteous; Wang Zhe seems to be particularly fond of different folk customs and strange legends in various places, when the Yan family has a huge caravan activity, it is necessary to supervise the peers of the head of the house along the way, the road is far and boring, even as a young master who is worth a lot of money, Yan Yu actually has a hobby of getting together with the team mates, sleeping and eating together and listening to them talk about weird and strange ambitions to pass the leisure.

In short, these two people can talk together, drink tea, drink, and get drunk, it seems that there is endless talk, and Bu Yu can't intervene, but in Bu Yu's ears, it is almost all nonsense.

……

Mo Ye carefully helped Bai Tao apply the medicinal oil, and the family who sent Lang Zhong back to the medical hall also came back, and took the three brown paper bags wrapped with herbs from the family Ding, and Bai Tao took Mo Ye to the kitchen.

Worried that the smell of the decoction might be carried into Ruan Luo's meal, Bai Tao was about to fry the medicine on the stove outside the kitchen, and Mo Ye was about to help, but saw that Bai Tao had already carried the stove outside the kitchen with one hand.

Because Ruan Luo does not eat a lot of food per meal, and although the Song family's house is large, there is no other master who needs to be served, so only a few small tandoor stoves are used in the kitchen. This small stew is much taller than the wide-mouth stove used for warm sake, and it weighs a bit to carry the whole thing.

Mo Ye looked at Bai Tao who was carrying the stove with one hand, but his steps were still steady and fast, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Bai Tao, your strength is really great." ”

"I'm a few years older than you, and compared to you, my strength naturally seems a little stronger." Bai Tao looked sideways at Mo Ye, and his eyes were already full of smiles: "Although my strength is not as good as those Zhuang Ding in the house, it is still no problem to just do these small jobs, your strength has not grown yet, so don't fight with me first." ”

Mo Ye was right when he thought about it, smiled and nodded, and didn't think about anything else.

Now that the stove for lighting the fire has been brought out by Bai Tao first, Mo Ye is unwilling to bother Bai Tao anymore for the next work.

However, considering the next work of making a fire and decocting the medicine, it was indeed inconvenient to do it with one hand, so Bai Tao didn't fight anymore, and only stood aside with a smile, watching Mo Ye squat in front of the stove to make a fire.

There was always a live fire in the kitchen, which was a big bargain for Mo Ye, because she had never been used to using flint.

Soon, the soft wood in the hearth was burned as the base, and then filled with broken firewood to set up the medicine jar...... When the sky was about to get dark, the decoction in the medicine jar had begun to boil, but the open flame in the hearth had gradually weakened.

The medicine jar began to make a "gurgling" bubble sound, and Mo Ye did not add more firewood to the furnace where the fire was weak. Clapping her hands and standing up, she just saw Bai Tao coming out of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Just boil the charcoal fire in the stove for a short while, and the medicine will be boiled." ”

In fact, from the moment when Mo Ye began to fill firewood and boil medicine, Bai Tao felt a little novel, decocting medicine is a very patient and careful work, Bai Tao was a little curious about Mo Ye's young age, what kind of experience he might have behind him.

Since Wang Zhe arranged for Ruan Luo's side, it should not be much worse, but looking at this girl's eyes is clear and straightforward, it seems to be very simple, but her skills are not as simple as they are.

After hesitating for a moment in his heart, Bai Tao finally didn't ask this doubt, but just smiled and thanked him. Next. Bai Tao called a guy from the kitchen to help watch the fire in the stove, and she led Mo Ye to a garden.

Seeing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but ask, "Sister Bai Tao, is it almost time for dinner?" ”

"There's still a little more work." Bai Tao smiled and said softly: "Now that I have some free time, I will take you to familiarize yourself with this house." It's going to be dark, so at least I'll show you the house you're going to live in. ”

Mo Ye's eyes showed a new look: "It wasn't you who mentioned it, I almost forgot." ”

"Well, there's been a lot going on in the afternoon. So I'm a little slacking off. Bai Tao said with a smile. I didn't have time to ask you what you liked, so I arranged it according to my own ideas, and I hope you can like it too. ”

Mo Ye nodded heavily, and said nothing else. He only said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Bai Tao." ”

As the big girl in the Song family's house. White Peach has some authority among the servants. The servants in the Song Mansion saw Bai Tao. also took the initiative to greet him, and whenever this time, Bai Tao would introduce the new girls around him to those servants.

Mo Ye followed closely beside Bai Tao. Looking at this scene, he secretly had some respect for Bai Tao. It can be seen that although Bai Tao is a servant, the time spent in the Song Mansion is not short.

Along the way, for some reason, Mo Ye unconsciously remembered some of the situations in the Ye Mansion. To be precise, it was she who compared the situation of the Song Mansion with the Ye Mansion where she had stayed two days ago.

In the standard upheld by Mo Ye, the relationship between the servants of the Song Mansion will still seem too formal and a little cold and hard. In comparison, those servants in the Ye Mansion, after finishing the task at hand, will gather together more wantonly to talk about the world and call each other brothers, which seems to be much more friendly and harmonious.

At this time, Mo Ye was not clear, in fact, the relationship between a servant like the Song family was already very harmonious, if she used her eyes to measure the rights and wrongs in some deep mansion compounds, I am afraid that it would make her fall into the abyss. As for Ye Zhengming's family, it is not yet the rule of the deep house, and Kyoto is also a Ye Zhengming, such an indulgent servant.

I went to a side room that Bai Tao led the way to and looked at it, it should be simple but very thoughtful, and there was a dresser in the room, and Mo Ye still felt that he didn't know how to use it. Fortunately, Mo Ye then learned that Bai Tao's room was separated from a few rooms, and if she had something to ask her for advice in the future, it would be very convenient, and she would feel at ease.

But in addition, this trip also made Mo Ye aware of two other problems.

The first problem is that she will learn to wear women's clothing rings and sideburns in the future. These two things should be very simple and basic skills for girls, but for Mo Ye, they feel new and unfamiliar at present, and it may take a while to adapt to them in the future.

Another problem is that she came to the Song Mansion and didn't bring anything. But when I think about it, I don't have any personal belongings anymore. The things that carried the memories were all burned in the old house that caught fire. Thinking of this, her mood couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Maybe it was getting late and it became a cover, and Bai Tao didn't notice the sudden drop in Mo Ye's expression. led her to the residence, and then Bai Tao took her to the study. According to Bai Tao, from his residence to the room where Ruan Luo is often located, it should be the route that Mo Ye will often walk in the future, so he needs to be familiar with it first.

When Bai Tao took Mo Ye to the study, he saw that it was dark in the study, but there was a light in a room next to him.

The light wasn't too bright, but it was moving, and it was easy to think of something weird.

Mo Ye followed part of his master's temperament, and did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, so he naturally would not think about such things as he saw them. It was easy for her to think that eighty percent of them were Ruan Luo or someone else.

Bai Tao is a big girl with a lot of qualifications in the Song family, she has experienced a lot of things, her style of doing things is calm, and her courage will naturally be much tougher. She was not afraid, but she glanced at Mo Ye with a trace of concern, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and then she was about to reach out and knock on the door.

But at this moment, a bell suddenly sounded in the room......

The two girls standing at the door both trembled, wondering if they were frightened.

How could a bell suddenly ring in the house? Bai Tao subconsciously glanced at Mo Ye, and the next moment, she did not hesitate, nor did she continue to knock on the door, but directly pushed the door open with one palm.

"Squeak-"

There was no latch on the door, and as the door opened, the person in the room who was standing with his back to the door also turned his face - it was indeed a person, it was indeed Ruan Luo.

"Hmm......" Ruan Luo was also a little surprised that the door of the house suddenly opened, and he couldn't help but wonder lightly. I don't know what he was doing in the house. I was so engrossed that I didn't notice the sound of a pair of footsteps approaching outside the house.

"It's the two of you." Ruan Luo, who was holding the candlestick in one hand, recognized the two people outside the house, and after a slight pause, he beckoned: "Come in." ”

After the door was fully opened, when he saw the scene inside the house, Bai Tao couldn't help but be stunned. It's not because she's ghostly, it's not because she's surprised that Ruan Luo is inside, but because she saw the weird thing around Ruan Luo.

Mo Ye also saw something like a box, but after she was stunned for a moment, she quickly linked it with the sunny and rainy clock that Ruan Luo had mentioned to her not long ago, her expression gradually calmed down, and she took Bai Tao's hand and walked inside.

The bell rang out suddenly. Apparently it came out of this box. And it wasn't until Mo Ye and Bai Tao walked into the house together that the bell stopped. Mo Ye subconsciously memorized the number of times the bell rang, about seven times.

Bai Tao walked up to Ruan Luo and blessed his body. He immediately accused: "Brother Ruan." I'm sorry. I thought ......"

"It doesn't matter."

Bai Tao was only halfway through her words, and she saw Ruan Luo waving her hand at her, and she understood. Didn't go any further.

Ruan Luo moved the candlestick in his left hand to his right hand, and then approached the strange-looking 'big box' beside him, so that it could be seen more clearly under the candlelight, and then he said: "Since it is such a coincidence, you are all here, let's take a look together." ”

In the eyes of Bai Tao, this 'big box' can be described as extremely strange and strange. However, after Mo Ye stared at the 'big box' for a few moments, she remembered the seven bells ringing just now in her mind, and she suddenly understood a little, and blurted out: "This should be the ...... You said the 'rain and rain clock' before, right? ”

Ruan Luo smiled and nodded, signaling Mo Ye and Bai Tao to take a closer look, and at the same time he said slowly: "Mo Ye, you are familiar with the rules of calculating the hour, it should not be difficult to see the way this clock is timed. ”

Big box... No, it was supposed to look like a box on a weather clock, with six sides like a normal wooden box, but only five of its sides were square, and the one directly in front of it had a round plate embedded in it.

And on the disc-like front, there is a circle of symbols that Mo Ye does not recognize. Specifically, those symbols are supposed to be interpretive characters, but they are not like Zhaoguo characters.

In the center of the disc, there were four sharpened pieces of wood, not only of different lengths, but also not close together, the longest of which was slowly turning, and the other three seemed to be frozen.

Ruan Luo's gaze moved slightly as Mo Ye's gaze pointed, and at the same time, he pointed to some strange things on the disc, and slowly opened his mouth to make a series of explanations: "These four branches are all named the hour hand by the maker, and their movement represents the passage of time, and the length of their movement measures the length of time that passes. The longest needle is seconds, divided by length, and descends in turn, which is minutes, hours, and determinations. The surrounding circle is the hour marker. ”

Seeing that the confused look in Mo Ye's eyes became deeper and deeper after he explained himself, Ruan Luo suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile: "This kind of clock was created by a craftsman from a country called 'Demani' overseas, and the time rules on it are also based on the timekeeping standards of the Demani country. ”

Mo Ye slowly turned his head to look at Ruan Luo.

Nguyen Lo Luo paused and then continued: "In our country, the bell rings only in temples or ceremonies, and the people of the Demani seal the bell in such a clock and send such things into our territory through maritime trade. There was a saying among the merchants that it was 'to bring the bells of the kingdom of Demani from the sea'. ”

Hearing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh: "It's really peculiar!" ”

Seeing that Mo Ye took his eyes off the clock and looked at himself, his eyes gradually lit up, and Ruan Luo faintly felt interesting. Only those who listen to the story can listen to it with relish, and the storyteller will feel that the more he tells it, the more he tells it, the more he will rise, even though what Ruan Luo is telling at this time is not just a fictional story.

After smiling slightly, Ruan Luo returned to business: "Although the timekeeping format of the Demani country is a little different from the twelve hours of our country, it is roughly the same. This may be because, whether it is Showa, Northern Goose, or Demani overseas, they all rely on the shift of the sun in the sky to calculate the hour, which is not vulgar but agree. ”

Regarding Ruan Luo's statement, Mo Ye quickly nodded in agreement. He turned his gaze to look at the box-like clock again. Because of Ruan Luo's explanation, her opinion of this object has changed greatly.

Bai Tao, who was standing beside her, didn't seem to be very interested in this clock, and her eyes kept flickering, but when Ruan Luo mentioned the overseas country of Demani, she was obviously interested, and couldn't help but ask: "On the boundless sea, are there really other countries?" ”

Ruan Luo nodded and said, "As early as more than a hundred years ago, when the capital city where we were located was still called 'Huyang County', the people here who lived by fishing for seafood had occasional opportunities. You can see floating buildings on the sea. But at first, people thought that those buildings were a corner of Wonderland. ”

"Later, gradually people from the fairy land landed on the east shore of Huyang by boat, although those 'immortals' spoke a language that everyone didn't understand, but after a period of observation. The people of Huyang are sure that they also need to eat and sleep. Sickness and injury also require medication, and bright red blood will flow. So the people of Huyang gradually understood. These people were not immortals, and they gradually understood the location of the kingdom in which they lived. ”

"However, my country really has a relatively clear understanding of these overseas countries. It started with the maritime trade in recent years. No one has yet explored how far the other side of the sea is, but in the vast sea, there is another large land where more than one country is inhabited, and this is a definite conclusion. ”

When Ruan Luo said this, he changed his words and said: "To mention briefly, the reason why this place is named Huyang County is because the residents of this place used the sea as a lake at the beginning, and the sun rises from the sea every day, and this eastern sea area is very mysterious and sacred in the eyes of the people here. ”

Bai Tao listened to Ruan Luo's repeated explanations, only to feel that his description was extremely delicate and vivid, and felt more and more novel in his heart, and then asked: "Has Brother Ruan ever been overseas?" ”

"With my stature, I can't travel that far by boat." Ruan Luo picked the corners of his mouth, and there was a bitterness in his smile, "What I just said is not something I have seen with my own eyes, part of it is from the book records, and part of it is from the people of the merchant group who transported a batch of these clocks back from the sea. ”

"When I first heard this, I was also curious about the peculiarities of those overseas countries, but then I heard from the people in the merchant group that ships sail on the sea, and they dare not go far unless they are a big ship. In addition, during the normal sailing process, the hull of the ship is also constantly shaking, and if it encounters wind and waves, it will instantly make people feel that the world is turned upside down. Ruan Luo said, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully, he regretted that he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to go to sea forever.

Bai Tao couldn't help but sigh, but said, "How could anyone live in such a dangerous place." ”

"Although there is a hidden danger in the sea, after the big ship lands, in fact, the situation on the two land is almost the same, and the dangerous situation is only when the ship is still at sea." Ruan Luo smiled slightly, "If those countries are in danger, then standing on their borders and looking west, how can we not do the same. ”

Bai Tao understood the meaning of Ruan Luo's words, and thought of his narrow vision, and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.

At this time, Mo Ye, who had been staring at the clock silently, suddenly said: "This time scale is twelve o'clock in total, isn't it exactly twelve hours, but the words on the time scale are very unfamiliar." Listening to what she said, it was obvious that the direction of things she was paying attention to was completely different from that of the white peach.

"Well, these twelve characters are the numerical writing method of the country of Demani, and the meaning of the counting text is the same as that of our country, but the pronunciation and writing of other countries are different from those of our country."

Ruan Luo smiled in his eyes, and the topic had changed with Mo Ye, "However, there are still some differences." These twelve numbers do not coincide with the twelve hours when they express the hour. Later, considering this problem, the merchant built a craftsman who built a state-made zuò clock, and slightly modified the structure of the gears behind the clocks that were transported to China, which affected the speed of changing careers. The hands of this clock, which used to travel twice in a day and night, are now slowed down only once. ”

After that, Ruan Luo also explained to Mo Ye the meaning of each of the four hands on the front of the clock, and then explained the function of the three dials arranged in a triangle on the back of the clock, and finally opened a narrow inset lid above the dial, allowing Mo Ye to see the power source of the clock.

Mo Ye was able to see that inside the 'big box', there were several gears that could not be seen in the whole body, they were slowly turning, and they were biting into each other as they turned. After a while, these wheels still did not stop, as if they would never stop, which made Mo Ye feel very strange...... (To be continued......)
