Carrying a net basket made of oil bamboo silk on his elbow, Nalan stood in front of the door of the small courtyard where Shui Momei lived, but he didn't open his mouth to call the door, just quietly waiting for Feng Shi, who went out every morning to pick up common and trivial things, to go home.

Although now Ink Plum can be regarded as a family in the middle of the road, the big mansion of the ancestors inside and out, and the grange outside the Sijiu City, have long become all kinds of unique ancient books collected by Ink Plum in the study, and the original dozens of servants at the head of the family have also been generously rewarded and sent out of the silver, and even when Ink Plum herself studies the lone ancient book in the study on weekdays, she only has a cup of tea and half a plate of vegetarian fruit at hand, but after all, Ink Plum is from a noble family that has been passed down from generation to generation. But there is still no less!

The water for making tea is naturally not the best spring water of Yuquan Mountain, but how to use a large vat to pave a layer of washed white pebbles, and then pad the white sand that has been carefully screened and selected, and at the end of the course, you naturally have to use a layer of bamboo charcoal blocks that wash the dust in the living water, and according to this order, the pebbles, white sand, and bamboo charcoal are each paved with three layers of half an inch thick, and the number of ninety-nine is complete!

Pick up a load of well water from the sweet water well, take the gourd scoop and slowly pour it into the water tank, and wait for the hole with the size of a mung bean to drip a cup of pure water from the hole under the hanging water tank, so that you can take the tea to the entrance

Mr. Jinian, who had seen this noodle school, recognized this as the method of water filtration recorded in the ancient books of Shuzhong, which is said to be the method of water purification that Zhuge Wuhou pondered when he was fighting against Meng Shu, which can prevent soldiers from getting sick because of drinking sewage by mistake when camping in the wild! After thousands of years of handing down, this method is called sand tank leakage in Shuzhong, and now there are still some exquisite Shuzhong teahouses use this method to take water to make tea, but it is far from being so particular as Mr. Shui!

The incense burned in the study is naturally made by the method that Shui Momei found out of the ancient books. I don't see any valuable spices used, a few bamboo leaves, a few plum blossoms, a few pine needles, plus a little spice shop in the shop to spend a few big children to buy things to blend into incense powder, when reading a book gently in the incense burner with a swastika of incense seals, the smoke with the fragrance of pine, bamboo and plum blossoms wafts out, so that people feel clear when they smell it!

On weekdays, even if it is every five or ten years when Nalan comes to study, he is never allowed to knock on the door, and can only wait for Feng, who goes out to buy things every day, to go home and enter the courtyard with Feng's side, and after saluting outside the door of the study, he can only enter the study with the permission of Ink Mei.

The children who came out of small families were in charge of the family early, and they have always been clever people with work in their eyes. Since Nalan first came to study, as soon as he entered the study, and without waiting for Shui Momei to open his mouth, Nalan has quietly cleaned up Shui Momei's study - the ancient books spread out on the desk are arranged according to the shape of the fan, the ink monkey raised in the pen holder has been carefully fed, the water bowl used for grinding ink has been replaced with clean water, and a few used wolf hairs have been taken out and cleaned with living water and then hung back on the pen holder

After half an hour of busy survival, the study is still neat and tidy at a glance, but some small gadgets are placed in a more convenient place. What's even more rare is that Nalan has been busy for most of the day, and he has not made any extra noise, just like no one has ever entered the study!

Obviously, he is very satisfied with Nalan's mind and ability, and he looked at what words Nalan had roughly learned after Nalan had finished picking up the study, especially after knowing that Nalan could never forget it, he liked Nalan even more, so he took some borrowed ancient books, and let Nalan listen to himself recite those borrowed ancient books, and practice calligraphy on the stone slab with clear water. After practicing that character can be written horizontally and vertically, and has a somewhat neat meaning, Nalan asked Nalan to copy the borrowed ancient books with pen and ink and collect them in his study.

As the old saying goes, there are masters who teach their apprentices to become more angry the more they teach, and that is called playing the piano to the cow. There are also those who teach the apprentice to be thorough at all, so it has to be called a master and apprentice!

Although Nalan's days of studying are still shallow, in Shui Momei's mind, she really likes Nalan more and more like such a female apprentice. Although she doesn't smile and doesn't say a superfluous word when she teaches the students next to her on weekdays, in front of Nalan, Shui Momei can occasionally say a few homely words, which surprises Feng, who has served Shui Momei for many years!

Seeing that Nalan was standing at the gate of the courtyard of Ink Plum again, Feng Shi, who had just gone out to buy some commonly used gadgets, walked a few steps, and said in a harmonious voice to Nalan who was greeting him with a smile: "It's been a long time, right?" Holding such a big basket, but I'm going to be tired! It's all about me, the old lady at home said that she wanted to eat some fried noodles, and it was not convenient to find bean sprouts this day, so I was walking around, and I came back a little late."

Stepping forward intimately to hold Feng's arm, Nalan also responded to Feng in a harmonious voice: "Aunt Feng, you can say that!" Being an apprentice with Mr. Water is much easier than being an apprentice in the main gate of fire! Besides, don't you still take care of everything? Didn't the old lady still have a cold a few days ago, saying that she didn't want to eat anything, but now she wants to eat fried noodles, and her body is better? ”

Nodding slightly, Feng Shi walked towards the courtyard gate while holding his arm by Nalan: "I invited the doctor from Tongrentang to come and take a look, and I gave a prescription and took three doses, and it really worked."

Saying some homely words, Feng Shi took out the key and gently opened the courtyard door, but it flashed aside: "Nalan, you go and say hello to Mr. Shui first." When today's homework is over, remember to go to the old lady's room and take a look, the old lady misses you! Last time, the old lady slept on the mattress you brought to the old lady, saying that she was very in charge, and her waist and legs were not pantothenic, and she praised you vigorously."

Nodding slightly, Nalan flashed into the courtyard gate, still looking at his nose and nose, and walked to Shui Momei's study, put the net basket on his arm aside, and then respectfully knelt down and saluted: "Apprentice Nalan, please say hello to the master!" ”

In the study with the door wide open, Shui Momei, who was sitting behind the bookcase, held a thread-bound book in her hand, and raised her eyes slightly to look at Nalan who was saluting her: "Get up!" ”

Whispering yes, Nalan stood up and gently brushed the dust off his knees, before he picked up the basket again and walked towards the study.

Looking at the net basket in Nalandi's hand, Shui Momei frowned slightly: "I remember to teach you, foreign objects are not allowed in the study!" What is in your basket? How can I bring it into the study at will? ”

Lowering his head slightly, Nalan crisply agreed to Shui Momei's question: "I found something that the master could use, so I thought I could bring it into the study."

With a sigh, Shui Momei slowly put down the scroll in her hand: "The objects to be used in the teacher's study are just pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a subset of scriptures and history, and there is already everything in the study!" Why do you bother to find something else for your teacher? ”

Opening the lid on the net basket, Nalan reached out and took out a not too big oilcloth baggage: "It's Senior Brother Xiangyou, who has a leopard appearance, and accidentally found a fragment of a strange beast diagram."

Without waiting for Nalan to finish speaking, Shui Momei behind the desk had already put down the ancient books, and said with a smile: "Xiang Xiaoyou is really a capable person, it didn't take long to find the fragment again, quickly bring it to me to see, according to the current situation, I'm afraid that the beast map will be fully restored soon!"

After taking a few steps, Nalan gently put the oilcloth burden in his hand on the bookcase in front of Shui Momei, but reached out and took out two pure dust brushes that were slightly larger than ordinary brushes from the net basket: "When I saw the master appreciating ancient books last time, the clean dust I used was a little worn. Coincidentally, I found some good snow rabbit Zihao in the main gate of the fire, so I prepared two new pure dust for the master! ”

Just looking at the two brand-new clean dust in Nalan's hand, Shui Mo Mei even said a few words 'good': "The original clean dust has been used for more than ten years, but it is indeed a little old. If one negligence injures the pages of some ancient books, wouldn't he be guilty of this, and it would be very good! Very good! ”

Looking at Shui Momei happily playing with the two freshly made pure dust, the corners of Nalan's mouth couldn't help but smile a little.

It's not just that I like to delve into some ancient books and unique ink plums, and calculate them in Sijiu City, but whenever I get on the side of the antiquities, I have to prepare a few necessary things in my hand.

The hand towel made of lake silk is used to remove the stains on the antiquities, the small burden made of otter skin to raise purple sand, the pulp on jade objects, and even more elaborate, and even a small blow pot made of brocade chicken, which is specially used to blow off a little dust in the cracks of antiquities

And this pure dust is a scholar who likes to enjoy ancient books!

A newly arrived ancient book, no matter how well it is collected and preserved, over the years, it is inevitable that some bookworms will grow in the pages and accumulate a little dust. Whether you slap it with your hand or blow it with your mouth, you are afraid of damaging the already fragile pages of ancient books.

This looks like the dust of a large brush, the attention is to take the round tip of the pen and sweep it slowly, relying on the suction generated by the friction between the slender animal hairs on the tip of the pen, and slowly suck the bookworms and dust dust in the pages onto the pen head, but it does not damage the pages of ancient books for half a minute!

Counting in detail, in today's world, people who can afford to play with ancient books and solitary books almost all have to be characters with a few dollars at home, otherwise a page of ancient books is hard to find, and ordinary poor families can't earn silver that can exchange a page of ancient books in their lives, let alone burn money to study and study?

Since they are all masters who are not short of money, these characters who like to enjoy ancient books will naturally not save anything on the necessary tools and household goods. As far as this pure dust is concerned, the worst thing has to be the rod of rosewood, the hairs on the tip of the tail of the half-year-old little fox, and the silver pen hoop inlaid with gold and jade, which can barely make those characters who like to enjoy ancient books nod slightly, and get three points of satisfaction.

And the two clean dust that Nalan sent to the hands of Shui Momei, the pen barrel is a century-old purple bamboo root, carefully soaked in refined tung oil, hard as iron, does not rot when it enters the water, and does not hurt the knife and axe. If you really count it carefully, this is still a thing that Hu Qianli's teaching master handed down to his apprentice to leave a thought, but if you step around Sijiu City, there is no place to buy it if you have money!

The snow rabbit Zihao used on the pen is a coincidence, and Na Jiuye, who went to visit the old official garden, saw that someone was selling a few snow rabbits caught with animal clips, two of which were already called clamped legs and feet and could not live for a few days, so he took advantage of the situation to spend a few small bucks to buy them. Connecting the daughter-in-law of the Xie Men Shen family and a few little female apprentices, Nalan led these people to take advantage of the brightest day at noon to take small tweezers and take down the purple hair on the skin of the snow rabbit one by one, which barely saved enough materials to make two dust purifiers.

The pen hoops used at both ends of the dust are the craftsmanship of the old man Hong of the Hong family, and the bones of the body are a little better, and the old man Hong will also wrap up the construction of some small objects in the main gate of the fire, and it will not work if you don't let it do!

According to what Old Man Hong said, if it weren't for the benevolence and kindness of Na Jiuye, not to mention that the craftsmanship of the Que'er Hong family to make eight-tone whistles would be broken, I was afraid that I would have become a lying down in Sijiu City long ago!

Since he was raised by the Ninth Master and installed a chair for himself in the main gate of the fire, then he will never be idle and eat for nothing!

Although there are a total of six pen hoops on the two clean dust, the materials are just some crispy brass scraps left over from the eight-tone whistle, but after the craftsmanship of the old man Hong, only half the width of the thimble on the hoop is finely carved out of the pine, bamboo, plum and cold three friends of the snow map!

Just for these crafts and materials, the two clean dust that were sent to the hands of Shui Momei were placed in Rong Bao Zhai, I am afraid that they can be regarded as the treasure of the town store?

Especially for a character like Shui Momei, who is immersed in learning, even if he moves a mountain of gold and silver, I'm afraid that Shui Momei won't even have his eyelids dangling, and he will have to issue an eviction order to people.

can send these two high-quality clean dust to the ink plum

This really fulfills that sentence - the sword is given to the hero, and the red fen is given to the beauty!

Smiling shallowly, Nalan said to the two ink plums that were smiling and playing with the dust: "Master, do you want to take a look at this fragment of the alien beast diagram that my senior brother sent today, or wait until the apprentice's homework is finished today."

Before Nalan finished speaking, Shui Momei had already waved her hand at Nalan again and again: "I got two treasures in a row today, and my mind is in turmoil, where can I teach you something?" Let's go first, and talk about other things when I go to school next time! ”

Bowing to Shui Momei in a proper manner, Nalan slowly retreated towards the outside of the study: "That apprentice retreats!" At this time, the old lady was afraid and woke up, so she went over to the old lady first to say goodbye."

After a few random promises, Shui Momei didn't even look at Nalan who slowly withdrew from the study, and her eyes were already fixed on the oilcloth package that Nalan put on her bookcase (to be continued. Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
