Chapter 67: The Life of a Salted Fish
Before Shangguan Yuanyuan could find an excuse to go back to his dormitory, Li Zheng asked the former imperial eunuch Deshun to arrange breakfast for her in the imperial study.
These breakfasts looked like the imperial chef had put a lot of thought into them, there were many types, colors, flavors, and flavors, and Shangguan Yuanyuan quickly immersed himself in the world of food.
When she was full, she only felt that life was as happy as a fairy.
Li Zheng sat not far from her to review the recital, his movements were very light, but his sense of presence was very strong.
Shangguan Yuanyuan propped his head and watched Li Zheng busy.
I just think it's too eye-catching, and she can't take her eyes off it.
Xu is eyes were too hot, Li Zheng raised his eyes from the concerto, his eyes were facing each other, and Shangguan Yuanyuan was busy subconsciously not turning his head.
Li Zheng's voice sounded, "It's so far away from me, can you see clearly?" ”
Shangguan Yuanyuan's heart chuckled, and she jumped suddenly, was she being teased by a tyrant?
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shangguan Yuanyuan looked at Li Zheng again.
Li Zheng looked at her with a smile, she looked at him and stammered to explain to herself: "I...... I'm looking to see if you need to grind ink. ”
"You're going to grind ink for me?" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, a smile in his eyes.
"Anyway, being idle is idle......" Shangguan Yuanyuan's face burned when he was looking at Li Zheng like this.
As soon as she got up to get close to the dragon case, Li Zheng's low laughter sounded, Shangguan Yuanyuan glanced at him unconsciously, but saw Li Zheng calling to the door of the imperial study: "Deshun!" ”
"The minions are here." The great eunuch in front of the emperor hurriedly entered the imperial study, respectfully waiting for Li Zheng's dispatch at any time.
Li Zheng said lightly to Deshun: "Go and collect some interesting scripts." ”
"The minions obey." Deshun bowed and retired.
Shangguan Yuanyuan didn't understand why Li Zheng asked the imperial eunuch Deshun to collect the script.
Could it be Li Zheng's amateur interest?
She has already come to Li Zheng's dragon case.
Li Zheng used the emperor's special imperial inkstone, and the edge of the inkstone has a unique totem of the Tianmu Dynasty.
Regarding the ink strip of grinding ink, it is also learned.
Shangguan Yuanyuan is very interested in archaeology and history.
For example, the ancient papermaking technology, as well as the origin of ink, she also knows some of these processes.
The ink is made with fine smoke pounded finely and sifted.
One pound of tobacco powder and five taels of good glue, soaked in ash bark juice, plus five egg whites, and one or two vermilion sand, two taels of rhinoceros pounded finely and in, put into an iron mortar, pounded 30,000 times.
Each ingot of ink does not exceed two or three taels, and it is better to be small than large......
Shangguan Yuanyuan's hand just stretched out towards the ink strip, and suddenly, he was stopped by Li Zheng, "Don't move." ”
Shangguan Yuanyuan paused, "I'll help you study ink!" ”
Li Zheng frowned, "No need." ”
"I won't clumsily break your ink strip and the ...... of the inkstone," Shangguan Yuanyuan was a little aggrieved.
Why is Li Zheng so stingy all of a sudden!
Li Zheng didn't answer her question, but dragged her hand with one hand, and with the other hand took out a handkerchief of the same material and color as his dragon robe, and carefully rubbed it on Shangguan's round fingers.
Shangguan Yuanyuan noticed that he had just touched a handful of ink strips, and his fingers were stained with ink.
Li Zheng wiped her fingers very carefully.
Shangguan Yuanyuan stood there in a daze.
So, is Li Zheng afraid that he will get his hands dirty? That's why you don't let yourself touch it? She wanted to ask, but she didn't.
It wasn't until the imperial eunuch found the notebook and came back that Li Zheng let go of her hand and said to her: "If you are bored, read the notebook to pass the time." ”
"Shangguan Beauty, these are the latest books, and they are the most popular in our Tianmu Dynasty now!" The imperial eunuch Deshun held a thick booklet to Shangguan Yuanyuan as if offering a treasure.
