Chapter 62: Lantern Festival

In modern times, Zhao Dezhao did not understand the production process of steel balls.

In Daming, in order to create qualified steel balls, many kinds of processes are used, and the defective rate is amazing.

It was not until later, after the powerful die-casting machine was used, that the yield rate was improved by means of die-casting, grinding and quenching.

What Zhao Dezhao is currently writing is the process after the maturity of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the high-end craftsmanship of later generations, there should be a big gap between this process.

However, Pei Ge'an didn't pay attention to this little thing in modern times, so now seeing the craftsmanship recorded by Zhao Dezhao was a little touching, but it didn't inspire her memory.

Zhao Dezhao hugged her and said gently: "Don't think about it, your main task now is to go to bed early and get up early to grow up." ”

She pinched Zhao Dezhao's thigh dissatisfiedly and said: "Only by doing things can people prove the value of their lives, if they live like pigs, what's the point?" ”

Zhao Dezhao smiled and shook his head, this wife is just too strong. Now that she has become a little girl, she can't change her personality.

However, Zhao Dezhao didn't think about letting her change.

If she really didn't focus on industrial development and stay in the backyard, he would really have to worry about the backyard catching fire.

The two kept warm for a while, and some chatted a few words, and then Zhao Dezhao was driven away. "I can't accompany you again, go find your little wife."

"Have you packed everything up? Once this time passes, I'm afraid I won't be back for several years. ”

"It's mainly these books, the materials we write, and everything else doesn't matter. What time does it depart? ”

"The original plan was to leave on the 16th day of the first month, but my father was going to marry his wife, and it was scheduled for the second day of February, so he set off on the fifth day of the second month."

"That's right, I made an appointment with the fourth sister to go to the lantern market during the Lantern Festival, and it doesn't affect it." Pei Ge'an laughed: "What does it feel like to have a stepmother who is younger than yourself?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin is getting married again, and it is Song Hao's daughter Song who is also the queen of filial piety in history.

This Song family was born in a prestigious family, and his biological mother was Princess Yongning of Liu Zhiyuan, the Taizu of the Later Han Dynasty.

Because of his strong opposition to Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne, Zhao Guangyi was extremely mean to her, and he didn't even give her a funeral when he died, let alone let her be buried with Zhao Kuangyin.

It is worth mentioning that her three elder brothers are all in the New Army, and the youngest seventh sister is married to a generation of famous ministers Kou Zhun.

Because of respect for this woman, Zhao Dezhao was also afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would marry other uneasy women, so he deliberately borrowed the news of later generations and told Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to Huazhou in October to propose marriage, and now he has received it in the capital, and he will get married after the year.

However, although she is the eldest daughter, she is very young, only thirteen years old this year......

Zhao Dezhao didn't bother to complain, anyway, in this era, as long as the girl comes to relatives, she can get married.

He pinched Pei Ge'an's thin arm and said, "It's not early, you should go to bed early." ”

She got up, opened the dark side of Luohan's bed, and pulled out a toothbrush. "This was just made today, the tip of the bristle can't be polished, and it hurts the gums a little, so be careful when you brush your teeth."

took the toothbrush and returned to Chen's courtyard, she was still waiting for Zhao Dezhao to not sleep. "The official came back and went to Pei's again?"

"Well, there's something to discuss with her. Linglong, put this toothbrush away, try to brush your teeth with this tomorrow. ”

"This is what Pei did?"

Zhao Dezhao nodded, Linglong helped him put away his toothbrush, and Linglong helped him take off his clothes.

Zhao Dezhao only wore underwear and got into the quilt, the quilt was covered by her hot, as soon as Zhao Dezhao entered, she did not dislike the cool air on Zhao Dezhao's body, and pasted it over.

Ling Jue and Linglong put away Zhao Dezhao's clothes, helped them lower the curtain, and then quietly retreated.

"Official, Pei's talent, why don't you put it in the backyard, but let her follow you without knowing it."

Zhao Dezhao smiled and touched her head. "It's because of her talent that she can't be confined to the backyard. She's not interested in being my lady, and you shouldn't be hostile to her. ”

Chen gently drew his fingers on his chest, and said softly: "The concubine is not hostile to her, the concubine only wants a child......

This Chen father was misanthropic and was raised by his mother, who lived with his brother and sister-in-law after his mother's death.

Although no one will abuse her as an eldest lady, life is humble.

Zhao Dezhao was not worried about her, but worried that the Wang family would not be able to think about it and would be jealous of Pei Ge'an's existence.

However, Chen's soft words begged, and Zhao Dezhao couldn't care so much at this time, of course, he did his best......

……

……

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Qiande, because of the good weather, is more lively than in previous years.

On the side of Daxiangguo Temple, the street has been closed for three consecutive days, except for pedestrians, cars and horses are not allowed to pass.

Zhao Dezhao had no interest in shopping, but he couldn't help the bombardment of the fourth sister and Pei Ge'an, so he could only agree to take them out to play.

Since you want to bring your younger siblings out to play, you can simply bring your two wives with you.

In this era, the public security is not good, Zhao Dezhao according to the configuration of one person, one maid, one chamberlain, and two guards, a large group of people, going out in a mighty way.

The ladies of large families have to wear hats when they go out, except for their children.

The hat resembles a hat, but there is a curtain around it, some with yarn, some with cloth, depending on the occasion and in different colors.

Only women under the age of seven or eight, and over the age of thirty, do not need to be covered.

The Lantern Festival has become an important festival in the Han Dynasty, and various celebrations have developed during the Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, there were a series of traditional activities such as viewing lanterns, eating rice balls, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks. In addition, there are folk performances such as dragon lantern swimming, lion dance, stilt walking, rowing boats, twisting Yangge, playing Taiping drums, and playing tricks.

Not to mention the fourth sisters, even the Wang family and the Chen family felt that their eyes were not enough to see when they saw this lively scene.

At the beginning of the year, in Xuandemen Square, in front of the Kaifeng Mansion and the entrance of the Daxiangguo Temple, firecrackers and fireworks were set off at the same time, attracting countless people to watch.

But just when they were lingering, the small courtyard where Pei Ge'an lived quietly sneaked into two figures.

Since Zhao Dezhao got married, the apse was the place where the Wang family and the Chen family received their female dependents, and Zhao Dezhao transferred his office space to the front hall.

However, the front hall was full of people, and Zhao Dezhao moved all the information to Pei Ge'an's courtyard.

Even writing down something new every day is placed here.

On weekdays, there are four palace maids in the courtyard, and Xu Yongchang is guarded by two small yellow doors, and he does not dare to slack off.

But on this day, the palace and the province held a big banquet, and almost all the palace attendants had to participate, and even the palace maids also sent wine and food to everyone to celebrate.

When the fireworks were lit, they attracted almost all the attention, and no one noticed that two figures entered the courtyard.

The fireworks burst into flames, the sound booms like thunder, and they are as bright as day.

The two figures seemed to be familiar with the room layout of the small courtyard, went directly into the study, and lit the candles they brought.

About half an hour later, the fireworks show ended, and they left the courtyard unhurriedly.

In the palace, Zhao Kuangyin invited Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui to watch the fireworks in the Xuande Gate Tower.

When the fireworks show ended, the frail Meng Chang was already shivering from the cold.

Seeing Meng Kuan walking quickly, Zhao Dezhao sent away Meng Chang, who was shrunk into a ball, and made a look with Mrs. Hua Rui.

Madame Blossom seemed to turn her head carelessly, but she bowed her head gently, and the two completed a tacit communication without moving.

Meng Kuan staggered past Meng Chang, saluted Meng Chang, and came to Zhao Kuangyin's side.

"Did you find anything?"

"Liu Zhuang and the others have returned to the palace, and now they are copying what they saw today in the study of Zichen Palace, and the old slave did not dare to disturb, so he came to inform the official family first."

"Let's go, go back and see." Zhao Kuangyin walked down the city wall excitedly, and said to Meng Kuan: "The protection of the East Palace must be strict, except for us, no one else can let go." ”

"The old slave can save it."

In the study behind Zichen Palace, when Zhao Kuangyin came in, two attendants who were still wearing night clothes were checking what they had transcribed, and when they saw Zhao Kuangyin coming in, they hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite, check the omission and report it to me."

"The slave and maid inspected the study, and according to the will of the official, they only consulted the catalog, and kept it in mind, and the contents were not touched at all. In addition to the books, there were fifty-three handwritten files in the study, and the slave and maid now wrote down thirty-seven, and sixteen, and could no longer remember. ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "Liu Zhuang......"

"The slave is here."

"You had the best memory before, why can't you remember now that you only have more than fifty titles?"

"The official family is Mingjian, it is really that the title written by the second brother and the Pei family is very obscure, and most of the slaves and maids don't know the meaning, so they can only memorize it by rote."

took the blank paper handed over by Liu Zhuang, Zhao Kuangyin looked at it, some of them could still see the meaning of the title, and some of them didn't know what was written.

For example, "The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Political System of the Great Song Dynasty", "The Rules of Deliberation in the Court", and "The Plan for Paying Both Civil and Military Attention" can still guess what is written.

However, there are some titles such as "Penicillin Refining Process", "Chemical Reaction of Minerals", "Sulfonamide Poisoning and Treatment", and "Gun Chambering Grinding", but I don't understand what is written at all.

He turned to another person and asked, "Duane, what did you find when you entered the Pei family's material room?" ”

Du An bowed down and replied: "The materials requested by the East Palace in the past half a year have been registered here by the slaves and maids, but after today, I found that most of the materials are not recognized, which is very different from the original. In the material room, the slave maid also found a hand-copied dossier, but the slave and maid didn't know a word of what was written inside, like the letters handed down from the Western Regions, and there were pictures. ”

"What picture?"

"It's either a drawing, or a table with separate letters, and the slave doesn't understand what."

Zhao Kuangyin was not disappointed, looked at the paper in his hand again, and said, "You two think about it carefully and recall everything you saw tonight." ”
