Jingchen said that he wanted to build a "star disk" Yu Shu followed him to buy, and inquired about the use of this thing on the way, which was originally a shrunken star palace, which was used to simulate various star maps to calculate the stars, which was also created by Huaixian Taoist.

The astrolabe is not difficult to make, there are ready-made carpenters in the princess's mansion, but there are a few materials and parts, and they need to find another one, so after the two left the Wangji Building, they took a carriage to the market and went around, and when they got everything together, it was already half an afternoon.

There was no omission in the inspection, Yu Shu asked Jing Chen to send her home, the two talked on the road, and knew that they had something to do with each other in the next few days, so they made an appointment, and when the astrolabe was built, Jing Chen copied "Hun Tian Bu Ji" and then sent someone to inform Yu Shu that sharpening the knife would not be a mistake to chop wood.

Tomorrow is the first day of the second month of February, the Neutralization Festival, also known as the Spring Day, the people have to go out of the house to go to the Taoist temple and the temple to burn incense and add oil, Yu Shu heard Zhao Hui mention in the morning, saying that tomorrow to go to the city outside the cloud view to pray, bless the family and the old and the young, Yu Shu is naturally to accompany.

As for Jingchen, the Shuangyang meeting will begin on February 2, and he will have to show up as the emperor's "Taozi" at that time.

The carriage stopped at He's house, Yu Shu raised his hand to stop Jingchen who was going to get off with him, and said, "Don't go in, Xiao Xiu is probably sleeping at this time, the godmother is pregnant and it is inconvenient to leave the house, you go in and tell her to panic." ”

Jingchen's current identity, wherever he goes, everyone has to sweep the couch to greet him, and he is afraid that there is only Yu Shu who stops people at the door like this and does not let them in.

However, with Jingchen's relationship with her, he will not pay attention to these common senses.

"Well, you go in" Jing Chen still got out of the car with him, but he didn't go in, and when he saw Yu Shu walk through the threshold, he suddenly remembered to ask her to stay, walked forward in two steps, took out a palm-sized jade Linglong from his sleeve and handed it to her, and said a few more words: "I look at your face today." looming, there may be chaos recently. If you run into any trouble, be sure to send someone to the princess's mansion to find me. ”

Yu Shu took it and played with it twice in his hand. Nodding, no excuses.

On the second day, before dawn, Zhao Hui urged He Fangzhi to wake up, and called the subordinates guarding the door to boil hot water to wash.

He Fangzhi only got a wife in middle age, and she naturally cherished it, because during Zhao Hui's pregnancy, although the husband and wife separated the bed. But he still sleeps in one room, asks for the pulse three times a day, shushes the cold and asks for warmth, and ensures that his beloved wife can give birth smoothly when she gives birth and suffers less.

"It's still early, Madame sleep again, I'll pinch your hands and feet" He Langzhong put on a coat. sat on the edge of Zhao Hui's bed, rubbed her legs through the quilt, and yawned. Zhao Hui's leg cramps screamed a few times in the middle of the night last night, and he didn't dare to close his eyes in the second half of the night.

Zhao Hui was lying on her side, just woke up, her face was a little red, she lifted the quilt on her body, covered his legs, and said softly: "Let's go out earlier, there must be many people who go to burn incense today, and if we go late, I'm afraid that the ancestors will listen to too many wishes, and they can't take care of us." Big brother didn't say it. The big test is about to start unveiling, I have to ask for good luck for our daughter, if there is a subject on the list, then I have to burn high incense. ”

He Fangzhi said with a smile: "When she passes the exam, I will set up a few tables of wine for a treat." ”

The husband and wife discussed privately, and Yu Shu had already gotten up. is sitting in front of the bronze mirror and asking Kidney Bean to comb her hair, and she is still holding a volume of "Taiping Notes" written by Song Tuxue, which she found in a small Yi Pavilion for more than ten taels of silver a while ago, but it is just a copy.

That Song Tuxue is the young eunuch of Si Tianjian more than ten years ago, which records the major events of the past three hundred years since the founding of the An Dynasty, and analyzes and expounds from the perspective of a Yi scholar, which is very valuable to read.

"Girl, it's done."

"Well, go and see if the old lady is awake." Yu Shu folded the pages and put them on the dresser, got up to change her clothes, she has been idle lately, and she can just read a few more books, which is not bad for a while.

Just after breakfast, Pei Jing took two entourages to the door, although the two families are relatives halfway, but the relationship is not bad at all, not to mention leaving their hometown, no longer moving around frequently, life is inevitably deserted.

Yu Xiaoxiu was left at home because his injuries had not healed, this child was sensible and did not make a fuss, but Yu Shu saw that there was something interesting at the rally, and brought two copies back, needless to say that Bai Ran was counted.

Boys are easy to deal with, these three or two days of work, Yu Xiaoxiu accepted Bai Ran as a playmate, and he didn't hesitate to share anything good with him, but Hu Tian'er, who called him a brother and sister in Baichuan Academy, didn't see him for a few days and was forgotten by him.

***

At dusk, when he came back from praying outside the city, Yu Shu was tired enough, so he sent a few things he bought to Yu Xiaoxiu's house, and when he returned to the room, he lay down on the bed.

Because of the festival, there is a market near Shengyunguan outside the city, the people of ten miles and eight towns are piled up, there are people all the way, their carriage is not fast, it is not easy to walk to the door of the Taoist temple, get off the car and people come and go, Yu Shu is afraid that people will crowd to Zhao Hui, and He Fangzhi left and right escort, Pei Jing opened the road in front, lined up to burn incense and donate money in the main hall, kowtow to Sanqing Tianzun and make a wish.

Pei Jing didn't know what way to find, so he let them stay in the backyard of Shengyunguan for a light meal, rest their feet, and only came back in the afternoon.

Yu Shu lay down for a while, then fell asleep, daydreaming in a daze, dreaming that a group of people beat gongs and drums to her door, congratulated her on Dayan High School, and asked her for a reward, she searched all over her body and failed to find a copper, she was so anxious that she was sweaty, stomped her feet, woke up from a dream, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dark outside the window, and she heard the crisp cry of kidney beans outside the door: "Girl, girl is not awake, Xue Gongzi is here, you and sleep." ”

Yu Shu rubbed his head, turned over and sat up, wrapped in the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "Get up, you go and get a basin of water and come in and I'll wash my face." ”

"Yes."

Yu Shu sat on the bed and woke up for a while, thinking about what Xue Rui had come to her to do, so he wiped two handfuls of hot cloths, simply tied a bun, and went to the front yard with his sleeves.

The early spring has warmed up, the thick curtain on the living room door was removed yesterday, Xue Rui was sitting and blowing tea, Yu Shu walked in with a shuffler, nodded at Xue Rui and greeted, "Brother Xue is here." ”

"Hmm" Xue Rui listened to her speak in a soft nasal voice, and when she got closer, he also saw two faint red marks on the left side of her face, which looked like she was lying on the pillow and fell asleep, and couldn't help but say in a kind voice: "Why go to sleep again at this hour, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to eat dinner?" ”

Yu Shu smiled dryly, sat down on the chair opposite him, and said, "I went outside the city during the day, and I was a little sleepy when I came back, but it's you, why are you free to come here at this time, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Xue Rui's gaze stopped at the two red marks on her face, and his tone was brisk: "Have you forgotten, the Shuangyang Festival is tomorrow, there is a dragon boat dance on the bank of the Chunlan River, and the festival is very lively, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the green with me, I will bring the third sister with me, it just so happens that you will be your companion, and Zhaomiao will also come." ”

When Yu Shu heard this, her heart moved, she had heard that the Shuangyang would be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and every time strange people and strange people haunted, she really wanted to see and see, and there was an annual festival to watch, which should not be missed.

"Third sister?" Yu Shu didn't miss it, and asked curiously: "Is it the sister you mentioned to me last time, whose name is Jinxun?" ”

She remembered that there were not many brothers and sisters in Xue Rui's family, and there was only one sister born by one mother, who was one or two years younger than her.

Xue Rui smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's Jinxun, that's right, my third sister is very well-behaved, you must like it when you see it." ”

As soon as Yu Shu heard that he could meet Xue Rui's sister, he was also very happy, "Okay, then I will definitely go, you will pick me up early tomorrow morning?" ”

Xue Rui replied, while making calculations in his heart, he had long wanted Yu Shu to meet his third sister, Jin Xun The child is weak and has no temper, as the daughter of the Xue family, he doesn't even have a friend who can talk on weekdays, Yu Shu is this righteous heart, if the two of them want to be friendly, it is also a good thing.

"By the way, I was introspective yesterday and didn't go to the Wangji Building, can you see the aisle?" Xue Rui asked knowingly, he passed by the Wangji Building before he came to find Yu Shu, and asked Lin Fu, knowing that Yu Shu and Jingchen went out together not long after staying in the Wangji Building, and they didn't know where they went.

Yu Shu didn't think there was anything to hide from this, so he told him the truth that Jingchen wanted to teach her the stargazing skills of Longhu Mountain, and in order to make an astrolabe, the two went to the street to buy it.

"Oh, what is the astrolabe?" Xue Rui asked curiously, but Jing Chen's unreserved behavior towards Yu Shu made him feel quite powerless in his heart.

He hadn't understood much about Yu Shu before, how could such a smart person as Yu Shu be blind to such a light-hearted character as Jing Chen, it seemed that it was probably because of the other party's rare honesty, on the other hand, no matter how he was, he couldn't have no reservations about a person.

"Astrolabe, that is" Yu Shu roughly told Xue Rui about the role of the astrolabe, and said in the end: "Jingchen's master, that Huaixian Taoist is really a capable person who is not born in the world, if I can learn his stargazing skills, even if it is only one percent, it will be enough to benefit." ”

Xue Rui saw that she was ignorant, so he made a point: "That's true, the officials in Si Tianjian have always been useful, all of them are proficient in the art of stargazing, you need to know that observing people is just small, and watching genius is the avenue, if you have the ambition to be a female official in Si Tianjian, this astrological subject, it is necessary to be transparent." ”

Yu Shu listened to Xue Rui's words, knew it in his heart, and sighed: "It's a pity that thaumaturgy is difficult to cultivate, Jingchen has only seen through it since he was a child, and I don't know how long it will take to comprehend." ”

The six divination hexagrams taught to her by Qingzheng Taoist are also a thaumaturgy, and she pondered for a year before she had a little experience, and the "Hun Tian Bulu" didn't know how abrasive it was. (To be continued.)
