Chapter 294: Do your best

"Xue Jun, please. ΊΊīŧŽīŧŠâ€

The porter had obviously received the message that Xue Lang was coming to visit, and someone was waiting for him at the porter. Follow the person who led it all the way inside, and it was the yard that was not big last time, but the yard was planted with flowers and plants.

When Xue Lang entered, he saw Princess Pingyang holding a scroll, with a low table in front of him, and a chessboard on the low table, I don't know if she was playing music or playing chess with herself.

"I've seen Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang dropped the chess pieces and scrolls in her hand: "Coming?" Sit. ”

Although he didn't smile, there was a gentle look between his eyebrows. Xue Lang smiled at people, but he was not polite, he sat down directly opposite Princess Pingyang, and put the drawings he brought on the low table.

Princess Pingyang reached out and took the drawings and looked at them: "This is a furniture drawing?" ”

Xue Lang replied, "Yes." After separating from His Highness yesterday......"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but look up at Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang's expression was as usual, and when she saw him raise her eyes to look at her, she couldn't help but smile: "What do you want me to do?" Go on! ”

"Oooh!"

The woman is not uncomfortable, he is a man who is shy first, this cowardice, no interest!

Silently complained about himself in his heart, and continued: "I happened to meet the saint, and the saint walked around the lamp market for a while, and later, seeing that the weather was cold, I invited the saint to my house to use some snacks, and the saint saw that the furniture style of my house was novel, more comfortable than the low couch, so I agreed to draw drawings and give them to the saint." That's what His Highness sees. ”

Princess Pingyang didn't speak, but looked at the drawings carefully, Xue Lang indicated on the drawings, where is the furniture generally placed, and what the name is, basically at a glance.

Xue Lang said: "When His Royal Highness enters the palace, help me bring the drawings in." And then there'......"

It feels a bit hard to talk about.

Princess Pingyang looked up from the drawings: "What's the matter?" ”

Xue Lang thought about the deflated purse, but he still felt frank, so he smiled shyly and said, "Your Highness, are the craftsmen and masters in your house free?" ”

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows, although she didn't speak, the meaning of the question was very clear. Xue Lang touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I want to say, if these furniture are used by the saints first, I think the dignitaries will also use them, right?" I want to make some to sell, but I don't have any familiar people in Chang'an City, and I don't know which craftsman has good craftsmanship. So, cheekily borrowed a few craftsmen from His Highness. ”

Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "But don't have enough money on hand?" Because of the part? ”

Xue Lang nodded honestly: "I don't have any property in Beijing, and Yongye Tian has no harvest yet, and my hand is indeed a little tight, so I ......"

Embarrassed smile. Princess Pingyang said: "I won't make furniture in my house recently, and the craftsman Youyang can bring it with you." ”

Xue Lang hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Princess Pingyang groaned slightly, and said: "Youyang also knows that good soldiers are all made of money, and the trilogy is related to Youyang's life, and you can't be sloppy." Raising soldiers has always cost a lot of money, and Youyang is in such a situation...... In the long run, I am afraid that this is not the right way. ”

Xue Lang said: "Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, I also know that this can't be like this." But you know me, I have a way to make a living, but it will take time, and it will take at least next year to produce results, so it's good to get through this year. That's why I use my brain on furniture. ”

Princess Pingyang knew that he had always done things safely, so she no longer asked, but said after a little muttering: "That's it...... I know that Youyang is a down-to-earth person, but if there is something that you don't do, don't learn from those who are desperate to save face, you can open your mouth to me, okay? ”

Xue Lang smiled and nodded. Although his emotional intelligence is low, he knows that Princess Pingyang knows that he is unfamiliar with people in Beijing, and he really wants to help him, and he doesn't look down on him, he just wants to help him. Xue Lang is not a person who wants to save face and suffer crimes, nor is he ignorant of good and bad, so he naturally agrees.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile, her expression was quite satisfied, and said: "I know that Youyang is different from other men, and he won't do that strong thing and waste my kindness." ”

Xue Lang smiled, but he didn't deny it, scratched his head, and had nothing to say: "By the way, Your Highness, have you found someone to study the matter of silk and cotton blending?" ”

Princess Pingyang glanced at him and nodded: "I have already told Rugui to do it, I am afraid it will take time." ”

Xue Lang said: "Since there is an internal attendant to do it, then we will study the matter of movable type printing first." For the sake of safety, first use mud to burn a furnace of word molds, and then wait for the size of these to be determined, and then fire the metal word mold, so that it should not cause too much waste. ”

"Yes."

Princess Pingyang muttered: "I personally chose someone to do this. ”

Xue Lang stared at Princess Pingyang, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, can you lend me a piece of paper?" ”

Princess Pingyang looked at him suspiciously, but still asked Chu Xue to bring him paper. Xue Lang doesn't know how to use a brush, so naturally he doesn't need to take a pen, he just takes a pen out and starts drawing casually-

"What is this?"

Princess Pingyang watched Xue Lang finish the two strokes, and after looking at it for a while, she didn't see what it was.

Xue Lang replied: "This is a horseshoe, also known as a horseshoe!" ”

Her Royal Highness the princess is very clever and knows everything about horses: "Things to do with horses? ”

Xue Lang looked around, Princess Pingyang understood, and indifferently ordered: "All go out, don't come near without my summons!" ”

"Whoa."

The attendants answered and went out, and Chu Xue served a hot red date tea to the two, and then got up and went out, and stood at the door without going far.

Xue Lang said: "Your Highness, this is called the horseshoe, which is nailed to the horse's shoe, which can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's shoe and the ground, not only protect the horse's hooves, but also make the horse's hooves grasp the ground more firmly, and increase the safety of horses and carriages!" ”

Princess Pingyang was stunned, turned her head suddenly, and looked at Xue Lang with burning eyes. However, Xue Lang was busy explaining the horseshoe he painted to Princess Pingyang in earnest: "Your Highness, I have been observing for a long time, and now in my spare time, there is no protective measure on the hooves of horses, and only when fighting, will a layer of leather be put on the horses' hooves." Although leather also protects the horse's hooves from damage, I don't think leather is the best in terms of safety. The horses of the flower growers all put horseshoes on the hooves, and after extensive and long-term practice, it is beneficial for both the horse and the rider. ”

In order to protect the horse's hooves and reduce the wear and tear of the horse, the most commonly used method is to put a leather case made of leather and horseshoe-shaped on the horse's hooves, commonly known as leather.

Xue Lang thought about it for a day, now that Her Royal Highness the princess does not lead the army to fight, she will naturally not go to the battlefield, and the threat from the battlefield will naturally be gone. However, as a nobleman, Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that horses are indispensable for travel. What Xue Lang wants to do is to find a way to deal with all the threats that may arise. Thus, the horseshoe was born.
