Probably because the expression on Tian Xiu's face was a little serious when she spoke, and her tone was also a little deep, and Wang Shaoqing, who was picking up a piece of sesame oil and shallots, glanced at her in surprise. Although his main job is in the Taishi Bureau, because of the matter of the Heavenly Observatory, he has been spending half of his time in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry recently, and the matter has not been completed, but he has made a lot of acquaintances. Others see him as old, and he works in the Qingshui Yamen of the Taishi Bureau, and he doesn't have the prestige of a six-grade Shaoqing, so he likes to gossip with him in his spare time. After coming and going, he heard some interesting anecdotes about the Ministry of Industry. Didn't it mean that Tian Qingshan had a prejudice against Shangying County, and the estrangement between the two was still very deep, how could such deep words come out of her mouth? Where is the estrangement, and the best friends who know each other are just like that, right?

Wang Shaoqing chewed the green onion slowly, as if he was savoring the fragrance of the green onion poured with sesame oil. He was a little confused, and simply didn't speak for a while.

As soon as the words came out, Tian Xiu also felt that she didn't seem to be right. It's not that there's anything wrong with the words, it's that the sentence is out of place, and she shouldn't say it to an irrelevant person in a wine shop. She didn't think it was a big deal, though. This is a very pertinent evaluation, and what Shang Yanshan has done should also deserve such an evaluation! Otherwise, when Shang Cheng was angry at the Linyuan Pavilion that night, Chen Pu and Shangguan Rui would not be submissive......

But her words were out of place after all, and inevitably diluted the atmosphere of the conversation. The two of them had no intention of speaking for a while.

At this time, the fish is ready.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop repeatedly boasted about how fine the fish trays he made and how fine the ingredients were used, but the two of them were just the enthusiasm of the shopkeepers, so they had to reluctantly pick up a piece one by one, but it was just that the sauce of his house was well done, and it was more delicious than the usual fish trevilla; It's not exquisite in any way...... But this kind of thing can be thought of and cannot be said. Wang Shaoqing took a sip of liquor, washed down his mouth full of fishy gas, bowed his head slightly and said to the shopkeeper with an expectant expression: "It's such shredded fish and sauce, let's have a plate!" ”

The shopkeeper agreed one after another, and happily ran to the back to cut the fish slices again.

Tian Xiu can drink some liquor. But she had to go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry for a while, so she didn't accompany Wang Shaoqing, as long as she had a hundred flowers to brew for the occasion.

Wang Shaoqing is not good at drinking, so he drank two glasses of white wine by himself, and his face was a little red. He chewed a few fried soybeans crackling, and suddenly said with emotion: "Lord Tian, you say, this Heavenly Observatory is so troublesome? ”

Tian Xiu put the wine cup that had been brought to his lips back on the table and said, "This is a new technique, there are no ready-made objects and processes for us to refer to, we can only explore step by step." That's pretty fast. When we burned the glass in front of us, it was more bleak than the scene in front of us, and the glass that burned out every day was not considered artificial, but only about making money, it was dozens or hundreds, and people were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but there was no way at all. One by one, I'm not right, it's not that it burns out, but it doesn't burn out at all! No matter how big the kiln is, no matter how strong the fire is, the bottom material that can be filled into the furnace can't be burned at all......" A bitter melancholy suddenly surged into her heart, and she suddenly couldn't speak. She picked up the cup and took a long sip of it, which immediately filled her chest with a hint of bitter acid...... Others only see the twenty-fifth division of the imperial court to open six departments, and only see her Cao Langzhong, a woman with no merit who will soon achieve the fifth grade, are envious of her scenery and accessibility, and who knows how many ups and downs are hidden behind this glory? Although she is a daughter, she is not inferior to men in terms of talent and wisdom, and what makes her especially proud is that her mind is strong and determined not to be invaded by foreign things, no matter what she does, she has a beginning and an end, and never gives up halfway! However, even during that difficult time, she also wavered several times...... As the person in charge of the glass firing technology, under her supervision, the Ministry of Industry threw down more than 100,000 or 200,000 copper coins for several months, but there was not even a splash, and the pressure was too great. Not only are people outside laughing at her, but even many people in the Ministry of Industry Yamen are talking about it behind their backs, even if the teacher Chang Xiu and the Ministry of Industry Yamen are very supportive of her, she herself feels very ashamed. On several occasions, she wrote all the resignation documents and took them with her, but in the end she never took them out. She knew very well in her heart that she did not take the initiative to resign not because she was reluctant to leave her official position, nor because she was afraid that she would be humiliated and embarrassed because of this incident. The reason why she did not ask for resignation was because she believed that the glass was not groundless! Since the imperial court is willing to gather troops for the gold and silver mountains of the Eastern Wa Kingdom that Shang Yanshan "heard about by chance", and the clan is willing to spend thousands of dollars for a painting cake called the Eastern Wa strategy, why can't she be angry and must burn the glass out? Since so many people are faithful to Shang Yanshan's false words, why can't she believe it once? In short, even if she is ruthless, she has to burn the glass out! And then she succeeded. Although the technique is very rough, and it depends on a bit of luck whether it can be fired or not, the glass is always fired. At the very least, it can be proved that in addition to crystal, displacement, and water glass, there are indeed such things as glass in the world, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is the only place where all the glass firing processes are mastered. More precisely, this place is the Patent Department of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry......

Wang Shaoqing drank another glass of wine. Now his hands are a little shaky, and the chopsticks are pointing and pointing several times on the plate containing soybeans, but they are always unstable, so he has no choice but to put the chopsticks down and reach out to grab a few cloves of vinegar garlic. While tearing the garlic skin, he said to Tian Xiu: "You said two days ago that Uncle Ying has already told you the trick of making a celestial observatory, so why do you even look at it...... Telescopes can't be made either? ”

Looks like he's really a little drunk. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an old man like him to utter such offending words.

Of course, Tian Xiu can't be as knowledgeable as him. Before going to Xiaoluofang, she had carefully discussed with others, and the method Shang Cheng said was absolutely not wrong, it should be easy to fix the knife and the copper pipe, and then use the knife to carve the screw pattern on the copper pipe. But no one expected that things would be far more difficult than they imagined. It was easy to make an iron frame to fix the knives, but the copper pipe and the knives could not be coordinated, and seven or eight officials and twenty or thirty craftsmen were busy around the iron frame for five days, and in the end there was no way at all, so they could only teach the craftsmen to continue to be like in the past, holding the knives on the copper pipe and slowly picking the lines little by little. This is delicate work, and it may not be possible to achieve it in ten days and half a month, so they have to return again in disgrace...... She said: "That's what Uncle Ying said to me, and I also memorized it word for word, who knows......" She shook her head and sighed indignantly. She had reason to be resentful. She felt that if Shang Cheng had been more attentive at that time, she wouldn't have to run away! There is a debtor who is wronged, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame Shang Zida! Blame this guy for not paying attention!

Wang Shaoqing already had a bit of alcohol, hatefully put the empty wine cup on the table, snorted in his nose and said, "If you want me to say, this matter is only to blame Shang Yanshan for his own treasure!" ”

This can be regarded as talking to Tian Xiu's heart. She immediately felt like a confidant to Wang Shaoqing. But she was still defending Shang Cheng in her mouth: "It can't be said that he is a broom and a daughter." His usual affairs are complicated, and it is impossible to take care of everything comprehensively......"

"Yes, Uncle Ying is busy with chores and is a busy man." Wang Shaoqing grinned and said disdainfully, "It's not to fight chess with Gu Poyang, or to accompany the daughter of the Poyang Hou family to enjoy bamboo, and take a group of people to chisel stones everywhere when you are bored......"

Tian Xiu laughed. Shang Cheng and Poyang Hou Gu Shi chess fight, Nanyang and Chen Pu have told her several times; Shang Cheng wanted to carve a dragon out of the stone, and she also heard Nanyang say it; However, this is the first time I have heard of bamboo appreciation. It seems that Wang Shaoqing knows better than Nanyang and Chen Pu what Shang Yanshan is doing on weekdays.

Wang Shaoqing smacked his lips, looked up at the beams of the house, muttered for a long time, and said, "We have to think of a way to let Uncle Ying help us again!" ”

"That's hard." Tian Xiu smiled and helped him refill the cup with some liquor, and said, "If he doesn't pay attention, there is probably no one who can command him." ”

"There's always a way...... Wang Shaoqing put his fingers on the table, knocked gently, and wrinkled his brows to think about a good idea.
