Bai Chunming knew that he was talking nonsense, but she couldn't refute it, after all, these things were right under her nose, and she couldn't ignore the existence of these things.

What's more, Ye Qing has always been flamboyant, and what he is best at is talking about him left and right, if he doesn't want to take the initiative to say it, no matter how you ask, he won't say it.

If you're in a hurry, who knows what will pop out of your mouth, and it's likely that it will make you angry enough.

Bai Chun, who no longer spoke, also rolled up her sleeves, and after the water temperature was suitable, she took a rag and carefully wiped the field knife, including the watch, which was also carefully wiped by her.

After Ye Qing fixed the base of the lantern, he found a candle from the room, and then put it into the claw lantern.

But in this era, it is natural to hope that the more transparent the better, and Ye Qing can judge that if this waist-thick horn lantern continues to be expanded, I am afraid that there will be cracks on the surface at that time.

Unconsciously, the night has completely enveloped the entire courtyard, and even the sound of oars paddling on the Yanqiao River and Xiaoshi River outside the wall has become much sparser.

"How's this lantern? You just tell me how much it's worth, right? Ye Qing lit the candle, and as the candlelight was fully lit, the entire courtyard suddenly became much brighter.

Especially around Ye Qing, because the claw lantern was still placed on the ground, the surrounding area of the lantern was clearly visible, and similarly, even the subtle expression on Ye Qing's face became extremely clear.

Looking at Ye Qing, who had a sense of accomplishment and a smug expression, a bright surprise flashed in Bai Chun's eyes, she really didn't expect that in this half a day, he really made a lantern out of sheep's horns.

"It's too bright, isn't it, will it cost a lot of oil or candles?" Bai Chun looked at the bright lantern and blurted out without his brain.

Ye Qing smacked the corners of his mouth and let out a snort: "What should the candle do, it's not like an oil lamp, you can turn the flame a little smaller, how can it cost wax!" ”

Bai Chun suddenly glared at Ye Qing angrily, he didn't have time to think about it just now, but after suddenly seeing such a bright lantern, he reflexively recognized that he had turned the flame to the maximum.

"It's good, it's bright, but it's better to use an oil lamp, the candle is placed inside, and it's more troublesome to cut the candle, so you can't light it for a while, and then turn on the lantern cover, and put it on after cutting the candle." Bai Chun sat on the small bench and turned around, his legs together, his elbows on his knees, one hand on his chin, looking at the bright lantern and said.

"Candle cutting?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, he basically lit oil lamps at home, and lit candles today because of Bai Chun's permission, so he didn't understand the matter of cutting candles very well.

Bai Chun held his chin, and helplessly glanced at Ye Qing, who began to be stupid again, or after amnesia, Ye Qing, whose memory was blank, explained: "Cutting the candle is to cut off the burning candle core, otherwise, it will be dragged out, and after it falls, it will stick to the side of the candle and burn the candle." ”

"Really?" Ye Qing glanced at it suspiciously, Bai Chun, who was sitting quietly not far away from her at the moment, and the gentle light shone on her body, adding a hazy fairy aura to Bai Chun at this moment.

After glancing at her, Ye Qing seemed to doubt the truth of what she said, and poked his head in from the top of the lantern to look at the burning candle.

"Shouldn't the candle burn with the candle and then charcoal with it?" Ye Qing looked down at the candle in the lantern, and sure enough, he could vaguely see through the candlelight that as the candle burned, the candle core did not completely burn to ashes, but continued to burn, I am afraid that after a while, it will grow longer and longer with the exposed candle core, and then fall to the side.

"It's weird, how can this be? Is it a candle problem? Why isn't it charred? Ye Qing looked down at the candle, and then looked at Bai Chun who was quietly holding his chin, as if he was asking Bai Chun, and as if he was muttering to himself.

"What does charring mean?" Bai Chun was already numb, and he had long been surprised by the strange words that came out of Ye Qing's mouth.

Even sometimes, looking at the somewhat inexplicable and reckless little uncle, Bai Chun will secretly guess if there is something wrong with the little uncle's brain? Do you want to find someone to see if the imp is on the body, or is it possessed by something dirty!

"Carbonization...... Carbonization means burning, that is...... The candlestick should burn out with the consumption of the candle, and the candle should not be consumed while the candle is still burning, it should be...... It should be, anyway, the consumption of the candle and the burning of the candle should be synchronized. So is it because our candles are too cheap? Wouldn't a more expensive candle be better? Ye Qing even said with a gesture, looked at Bai Chunming and nodded, and then shut up.

"No matter how expensive candles are, so can candles of one or two pieces of silver, so in order to save trouble, you should use an oil lamp." Bai Chun's eyes were bright, but at the moment he was a little confused, looking at the lantern as if empty, and said thoughtfully.

"It shouldn't be." Ye Qing believed that Bai Chun would not lie to him.

After all, he had already told Bai Chun just now that this lantern was intended to be a finished product for the Yan family after it was ready, and whether he could earn money or not depended on it.

So my sister-in-law, who confiscated her four hundred taels of silver tickets yesterday, obviously won't lie to herself when it comes to making money, and will definitely support herself.

"Jun asked that the return date is not due, and the night rain in Bashan rises in the autumn pool. He cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rained at night in Bashan. Bai Chunying's lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "This is a poem by Li Shangyin, in which He Danggong cut the candles in the west window, which is about cutting candles." ”

"Do you think this Li Shangyin is racing with candles, is it that without candles, he can't write poems?" Ye Qing took away the claw lantern and held the base at the moment, concentrating on studying the burning wick.

Bai Chun frowned lightly, Li Shangyin was a Tang Dynasty poet she liked more, and when she heard her uncle criticize him like this, she was somewhat dissatisfied, so she asked, "What do you mean?" Do you know that his poems are not successful? ”

"The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. Isn't this also what he wrote? Ye Qing glanced up at Bai Chun, staring at the candle wick for a long time, and now looking at Bai Chun, the shadow that looked like a fairy had already appeared in his eyes.

Bai Chun heard Ye Qing casually read out a line from one of Li Shangyin's poems, but his brows furrowed even tighter!

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ye Qing, who was studying the candle, and suddenly asked, "Are you sure you have amnesia?" So why do you remember his poems? ”

"No wonder, it turns out that the wick is made of cotton thread, and I said how can it not be completely burned and then charred. Yes? What did you just say? Ye Qing, who was studying the candle intently, looked at Bai Chun's beautiful eyes looking at him, as if waiting for his answer, so he hurriedly asked.

"Aren't you amnesia?"

"yes?"

"Then how do you remember Li Shangyin's poems? The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. Bai Chun asked repeatedly.

"This ...... Conditioned reflex, who knows, maybe it was a sudden enlightenment, maybe you read a few more poems, and it will help me recover my memory. Ye Qing opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense: "By the way, why does this candle smell so bad?" Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun, who was fine just now, but now stood up with a cold face and was about to leave, raised his head and asked.

"Candles are like that! If you want to go, can't you remember the verses? How can you forget this common sense! Bai Chun coldly left a sentence, and then walked to the kitchen.

"My watch."

"Here you go!" Bai Chun casually threw the watch to Ye Qing.

"Michel Eugène Scheffleur, oh...... Understood, no wonder it's so familiar. Ye Qing took the watch that Bai Chun threw over, put it back on his wrist thoughtfully, and muttered.

"What are you muttering again?" Bai Chun, who had just walked to the door of the kitchen, turned his head again and looked at Ye Qing with some anger.

This is not the first time she has heard Ye Qing speak, just now, this guy, behind his back, muttered something that he didn't understand at all, and even ...... Even the pronunciation is so weird that you can't learn it if you want to.

Ye Qing's behavior made her very angry, just like when a person is behind her back and speaks in words that she doesn't understand at all, even Bai Chun will feel that this person is talking badly about herself.

"No, nothing, that ...... I seem to have found another way to make money, maybe I can give up Naminwa. Ye Qing didn't look at Bai Chun's somewhat angry face, just now, unconsciously, he pronounced the name of Michel Eugène Scheffleur in English, so he didn't know at all that Bai Chun was already a little angry at this moment.

So, still immersed in his own thoughts, his mouth seemed to be chanting, and he whispered something in a whisper.

Bai Chun snorted, looking at the flame of the candle, Ye Qing, who was a little crazy, didn't plan to eat the meal, and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up by her extremely loudly, thunderbolting, in order to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Someone apparently didn't notice her emotionality, still holding the candle, blowing out the twisted wick one moment, lighting it the other and smelling the burning smell of the candle.

After a while, Ye Qing knew the candle in front of him, then blew out the candle, put the lantern aside, looked a little lonely, and sat quietly in the middle of the courtyard.

"What? Don't toss your lantern anymore? After Bai Chun cleaned up the kitchen, he came out and saw the black shadow, like the little stone lion at the door, sitting there without moving.

"The candle is not good, this lantern is only half finished, it is harder than I imagined, you say...... Why don't you even have a good candle? Do you have to force me to do it myself? Ye Qing was very depressed, and after studying for a long time, he found that most of today's candles are made of animal fat, which emits an unpleasant smell when burned, and also emits black smoke.
