Chapter 67: Ugly Yueying
"Ma Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Xiexu helped Ma Jun and said with a smile: "I just came to take a look, by the way, how are the preparations for printing?" ”
At this time, the woman reacted, and a flush flashed on her face, just because her skin tone was relatively yellow, and she couldn't see it clearly. "Huang Yueying, a folk girl, has seen Your Majesty!" There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect to see Liu Xie here.
Liu Xie nodded and said with a smile: "Huang Niang doesn't have to be polite!" I have heard Feng Xiao mention your business. It's rare for Huang Niangzi to be so well aware of righteousness, not ashamed of this strange silver skill, if it is this country, everyone has Ma Aiqing and Huang Niangzi such a mind, why worry about the world is not quiet! ”
Looking at Huang Yueying closely, in fact, in addition to her skin color and hair being a little yellow, her face shape is actually not ugly, the bridge of her nose is high, small and straight, if you don't care about her skin color and hair color, she can actually be regarded as a beauty. Of course, this is Liu Xie's opinion.
Because Liu Xie has seen too many such women in later generations, many women even if they have black hair, they still use it to dye it in other colors. As for skin color, it's even more of a problem, in later generations, how many people are proud of their wheat-colored skin? That's the beauty of health!
But in this era, especially the daughter of a scholar, when she looks like this, it is no wonder that she will be ridiculed and untimely!
"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and through Your Majesty's prompting, we have carved with fire and clay, and sure enough, the progress is rapid...... By the way, we've got a sample...... Your Majesty, please! ”
Looking at the sample submitted by Ma Jun, Liu Xie laughed and said, "Not bad! Not bad! This is much easier than copying books, and I have a headache when I think of copying books! ”
Seeing Liu Xie's headache, many people couldn't help but laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, but Huang Yueying couldn't help it, and laughed out loud. As a result, everyone's eyes were on her, so she was not embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to think of such a clever solution! Liu Xie shamelessly put the inventor of this movable type printing book into his head. In fact, even if he didn't want to, there was no way to do it, because before him, not to mention movable type printing, even engraving printing had never appeared. He doesn't want to take credit, others will also wear this merit on his head, this kind of famous thing, who dares to take the credit?
"Your Majesty is serious, this kind of ingenious method is a great progress in human history!" Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Previously, students wanted to read books, they had to borrow books everywhere, and then copy books, everyone knows that copying books is not only time-consuming, but also laborious, sometimes the handwriting is scribbled, others will not be recognized...... But with this printing technology, the speed is not unfast, and the handwriting is neat, and the pages are clean...... In this way, everyone in the world will have to thank His Majesty for his merits! ”
Liu Xie was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Huang Niang is really good at talking!" By the way, I don't know how much Huang Niangzi knows about bow and crossbow making? Would you like to try it for me and see if I can make a repeater? ”
"Repeater?"
"Yes, repeaters, crossbows fired continuously!" Liu Xie nodded and said: "In fact, after the successful development of movable type printing, I planned to let Deheng study military equipment, especially siege equipment, such as bed crossbows, siege vehicles, etc., but now, after I saw you, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of repeaters!" ”
Huang Yueying was a little strange, why Liu Xie actually thought of this repeater when he saw her. But Liu Xie didn't explain, and she was embarrassed to ask more, especially when Liu Xie looked at her, there was a hint of weirdness in her eyes. But this strange feeling did not make her feel annoying, but rather made her curious.
Liu Xie naturally couldn't tell him, because of her, it reminded him of Brother Zhu's crossbow!
In fact, when he saw Brother Zhu, he thought of this kind of sharp weapon, but it was only because he thought that the legendary Brother Zhu's crossbow was invented by his wife Huang Yueying, and the conditions at that time did not allow it, so he stayed until now. In fact, even if Huang Yueying didn't appear, he would have come up with the theory of repeater sooner or later.
But now that I see Huang Yueying, what is more cool than returning the things that originally belonged to others, and being amazingly amazing!
Ask Liu Xie to draw a picture, Liu Xie can't draw it, but if you let Liu Xie take the existing crossbow and let people transform it, and then say your own ideas, let people ponder and transform, there is no problem.
When Liu Xie held a crossbow and told his idea in front of Huang Yueying and Ma Jun, the more they listened, the brighter their eyes became. In Huang Yueying's eyes, there were even some signs of worship.
Brother Zhu, Lu Meng and Guan Ping were also listening, and as for Yang Xiu, they were around the movable type printing board, curiously studying.
"Your Majesty, you are such a genius!" Huang Yueying couldn't help but sigh, then blushed and lowered her head.
Liu Xie secretly shouted, I'll go! She won't like me! What should you do, brothers!
It's a pity that when Liu Xie looked back at Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu's expression did not change much, and he also admired Liu Xie.
I'll go! It's messed up again!
Before leaving, Liu Xie said to Huang Yueying: "Do a good job, I will grant you the position of a female doctor, you don't have to care about other people's opinions, your merits will be engraved on the stone tablet of the Craftsman Institute in the future, so that future generations can admire ......"
"Little girl, thank you for your kindness!" Huang Yueying blushed with excitement.
It must be known that taking a woman's body as an official, especially a foreign official, is rare in ancient times! In today's Han Dynasty, she is also the only one!
"Kong Ming, what do you think? That Yellow Lady! On the way to Taixue, Liu Xie asked the brothers around him with a smile.
Brother Zhu looked at Liu Xie strangely, scratched his head, and said, "Very good!" ”
"Really? Don't you think she's a little ...... Well, is it a little ugly? The smile on Liu Xie's face became thicker.
Yang Xiu and Lu Meng beside him, as well as Guan Ping, were a little unclear.
Brother Zhu stubbornly said, "This ...... She's so knowledgeable, it shouldn't be bad! Didn't Your Majesty take a fancy to her erudition? ”
Burst......
Yang Xiu on the side couldn't hold back and sprayed, even Lu Meng and Guan Ping held back a smile and shrugged their shoulders.
Liu Xie patted his head and sighed: It's messed up, it's really messy!
"You all think she's ugly?" Liu Xie asked again, and at the same time glanced at several courtiers around him.
"She's very knowledgeable!" Yang Xiu responded.
"She's in great shape!" Lu Meng said.
She ...... She ......" Guan Ping thought about it, couldn't think of a reason, and said: "She is indeed very knowledgeable, she understands a lot of things, and she quotes scriptures as soon as she speaks, well, that's it!" ”
Liu Xie glanced at Brother Zhu and said with a smile: "Her piano skills are still very good!" Kong Ming might as well ......"
"Your Majesty! She is a member of the Jiangxia Huang clan, if His Majesty accepts her, it will be of great benefit to us to attack Jingzhou in the future! Brother Zhu said directly.
Liu Xie wondered, "Kong Ming, you really don't have the slightest feeling for her?" I think she's good! Although the complexion is a little darker, the face shape is not ugly! ”
"So Your Majesty, this matter is not Your Majesty!" Brother Zhu said with a serious face.
As a result, several other people either looked at Liu Xie in surprise, or shrugged their shoulders with a smile, secretly sighing that Liu Xie's taste was really different.
Looking at the performance of the courtiers, Liu Xie really wanted to scold: I'll go! She's really not ugly! Isn't it just that the hair and skin tone are a little different? Aren't those peasant women who work under the sun all year round look the same?
But obviously, these courtiers of his couldn't understand Liu Xie's weird taste, as well as his bad taste for Brother Zhu and Huang Yueying, and as a result, they provoked themselves!
