Afternoon.

Mrs. Li came to the West Courtyard.

Tie Dan and Lan'er went to the national prison.

Li Zexuan was lying on the recliner in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the West Courtyard, opening his mouth to take the grapes that Xiaoxi fed (cough, it is a grape trellis with grapes, and the expression is crooked), so comfortable.

"Madame!"

When the two little maids saw Mrs. Li coming, they saluted.

Li Zexuan also hurriedly sat up.

"Mother!"

"Hmm." Mrs. Li smiled and went straight to sit down on the bench next to her, and Xiaohe cleverly went over and poured a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table in front of Mrs. Li.

"Xuan'er, are you okay in Guozijian?"

"Mother, the child is fine! With my child's skills, who can bully me! ”

Mrs. Li glanced at her son, took a sip of tea, and chuckled: "You, you, Lan'er, this little girl is too, you have to go to the Guozijian to make trouble for you, the girl's family, if you don't study hard as a female worker, how will you marry in the future!" ”

"Mother, Lan'er, it's not bad for her to learn more things, why do you have to learn from female workers, just make clothes and find a tailor!"

Li Zexuan said indifferently, he has never understood that girls in ancient times had to learn from female workers, could it be that they married just to go to their husband's house to make clothes?

Mrs. Li said angrily: "Nonsense! If the daughter's family doesn't know how to work women, which family is willing to want it? Yu Xi this child is good, my mother has seen a few of her female workers before, which is better than what she did for her mother! ”

"Hehe, how can there be a mother who does it well, and the mother's craftsmanship is naturally the first in Chang'an City."

This is obviously a pit, if Li Zexuan praises his daughter-in-law according to the old lady's wishes, it is difficult to guarantee that the old lady will not taste it in his heart, so he will send a shameless slap in the face.

Mrs. Li was happy when she heard this, but she said: "You are a little slippery head, and you are happy for your mother." You and Yu Xi's family affairs, Wei Niang and Han Lizheng have agreed, and tomorrow you will send a matchmaker to Han's house to propose marriage. ”

After hearing this, Li Zexuan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to add tea to the old lady, "Thank you, mother!" It just so happens that the child will rest tomorrow, so let's go over together, right? ”

I haven't seen him for a day, such as every three autumns, I haven't seen him for several days, and every night in the dead of night, he wants to hug his daughter-in-law!

Mrs. Li angrily tapped Li Zexuan's forehead with her finger.

"You kid, why don't you know the rules so much, how can the groom personally go to propose? Tomorrow, your father and Mrs. Song will take someone to the Han family to propose marriage, and you will stay at home. You and Yu Xi are not allowed to meet each other until they get married. ”

"Huh?"

Li Zexuan was dumbfounded, "Mother, then when will I get married to Yuxi?" ”

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Look at your urgency, this is just a proposal, and then you have to accept the lottery, ask the name, Najib, and Nazheng, and then ask for the date, set an auspicious day for the zodiac, and finally welcome in person." Xuan'er, you have to learn the wedding process hard recently, don't make jokes when you get married! ”

Li Zexuan was almost dizzy when he heard this, do you want to be so troublesome? Can't you have a flash marriage?

"Eh, mother, then you should set the wedding date early, otherwise your daughter-in-law will run away by then, which will not be good!"

Li Zexuan wiped his sweat, said a word, and hurriedly ran away.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Zexuan's back and fled, shook her head, and smiled dotingly: "This kid! ”

Xiaohe and Xiaoxi next to him couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

………………………

Li Zexuan went out of the mansion, came to the workshop, and found Liu Yidao and Liu Dingyi.

This old man has been idle in the Wonder Pavilion since Li Zexuan bought the original "Tiangong Pavilion" and dug him up by the way, and later after Yan Shaoning gave his family's workshop to Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan also transferred Liu Yidao to the workshop.

"Master Liu, you used to carve all kinds of strange things, I wonder if you can carve characters?"

Li Zexuan motioned for Liu Yidao to sit down first, and then asked.

Liu Yidao said with a smile: "Young master, carving characters is much simpler than doing wood carving, of course this little old man will, what words does the young master plan to carve?" ”

Li Zexuan took out the math book and said, "I want to print this book, about 30 copies, and I bother Master Liu to help carve a set of templates." ”

Liu Yidao hesitated and said: "Young master, if it is an engraving plate, it will be time-consuming and laborious, so it is better to ask a group of down-and-out scholars to help copy it." ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he suddenly realized that the Tang Dynasty did not have movable type printing.

"Master Liu, I'm not asking you to engrave a carved plate on each page, you can use cement to make a blank with the same specifications, and engrave the reverse word at one end, and the height of the protrusion of the character is like the thickness of the edge of the copper coin, and it is hardened with fire to become a single cement movable type, and then typeset and print according to the content of each page."

"Okay, young master, this method is good, so that all the books in our workshop can be printed on a large scale and passed on to future generations! What a merit! ”

As soon as Fu Bo walked in, he heard Li Zexuan's new printing method and couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"Fortune Steward!" Liu Yidao got up and said hello.

"Fu Bo, you came just in time, I plan to set up a printing department in the workshop, you transfer some people to Master Liu, and there will be many books to be printed in the workshop in the future."

Li Zexuan said to Fu Bo.

Fu Bo sat down and arched his hand, "Yes, young master." ”

Li Zexuan nodded, and said to Liu Yidao: "Master Liu, you get the printing department up as soon as possible, and help me print this book in the next two days, I have an urgent need." ”

Liu Yidao took the book from Li Zexuan's hand and promised, "Yes, young master............. Eh, young master, what are the words on this? And what do these circles mean? How come the little old man has never seen it? ”

Liu Yidao opened it and looked at it, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

"These are all my new arithmetic numbers, arithmetic symbols and some punctuation marks, Master Liu, you can print it according to it."

Li Zexuan explained.

"Oh!"

Liu Yidao scratched his head, although he didn't understand, he still responded, no matter what he meant, just follow the seal.

……………

"Fauber, how's my carriage doing?"

After Liu Yidao went out, Li Zexuan asked Fu Bo.

Fu Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young Master, it's not done yet!" This carriage is far more difficult to make than previously thought, and the old man estimates that it will take a few days! ”

Li Zexuan nodded, took out a drawing, and said with a smile: "Then Fu Bo can help me make something again!" ”

As soon as Fu Bo saw Li Zexuan take out the drawings, he was a little dizzy, and he didn't know what his young master was going to do, so he took a look at it, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled:

"What did the young master do with this thing?"

"Fauber, this is a custom-made shoe for horses, and when horses wear it, their hooves will never be injured again, and the horse's lifespan will be greatly increased."

Li Zexuan also went to see the injury of the white horse at home yesterday, and looking at its hooves that were wrapped around, Li Zexuan suddenly realized that there was no horseshoe in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the white horse's "pitiful" eyes, Li Zexuan asked people to measure the size of the horse's hooves, and planned to make a pair of "shoes" for it.

After listening to Li Zexuan's explanation, Fu Bo immediately felt a little suspicious of life, his young master has been a heinous loser, it is not enough to make some pleasure for himself, but also to make shoes for horses, no matter how it sounds, it feels like a fantasy!

"Young Master, does this really work?"

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Fu Bo, even if you do it, it will definitely work!" ”

Fauber was helpless and could only respond.

Thank you for the monthly pass that is so handsome that you can't close your legs, and you don't want to be entangled
