"Your Majesty is serious. Product = Book/Net "
Pei Xuanling was still respectful, although she did not respond positively to Yi Xue's bold words, but she had no objection to her wanting to find another mine. But in Yi Xue's opinion, this can be regarded as agreeing, so she raised her courage and asked:
"However, I don't know much about copper and iron, I only heard that this thing was born in a special mountain, Mr. Pei has traveled all over the world, I don't know if I have seen any strange mountains and strange stones."
After listening to Yi Xue's question, Pei Xuanling was still calm and relaxed, and replied slowly:
"Although I have been to some places, but my legs and feet are not as good as they were back then, every time I go to the rocky land, I shrink down the mountain and eat some game with the local villagers, and listen to the story. But ......" A hint of cunning flashed in Pei Xuanling's eyes.
"Although I haven't been able to see those strange mountains and rocks in Xiadu, whether it is the rumors I heard from the villagers or the picture scrolls I saw, most of the things Your Majesty wants to find are still there."
After experiencing the ups and downs of losing to the bottom and rekindling hope, Yi Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, watching Pei Xuanling touch his mustache comfortably, and couldn't help but wonder if Pei Xuanling did it intentionally.
Although he couldn't find out the specific location, Pei Xuanling's words made Yi Xue feel a lot more at ease, and after that, Pei Xuanling didn't forget to give Yi Xue some tips.
Your Majesty may also be able to find the answer from the ancient books, which has been mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": Sixty miles to the west, it is said that the mountain of stone is brittle, its yang is more than Zhang's floating jade, and its yin is more copper. Irrigation water out of Yan, and the north flow is poured into Yu water. Among them there is flowing ochre, in order to coat cattle and horses without disease. Pei Xuanling said.
Although Yi Xue didn't fully understand these words, she heard the word "copper" and the word "ochre" mentioned by Sima Cheng last night, and her heart was shocked.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your advice." Yi Xue smiled.
Here, Yi Xue was still inquiring with Pei Xuanling about the location of the mineral deposits, and on the other side, Sima Cheng had already informed the little eunuchs to prepare for the "Autumn Chestnut Banquet" in Lingyun Hall tomorrow.
The overall style layout of Lingyun Hall has added a lot of southern elements, the building is simple and beautiful, and there are ponds and plants in the garden, which was also to reflect the "north and south are like a family", so that such a scene was created in the palace, which was used to let the emperor enjoy the elegance and leisure of literati and artists.
However, the change of emperors, the martial arts and the reverence of literature, the north and the south are united, there are many variables in preferences and opinions, and there are many variables in preferences and opinions, coupled with the fact that it has been abandoned for many years, the vegetation is overgrown, and there are no traces of artificiality, but there are some natural wild interests.
And tomorrow's autumn chestnut banquet in the "chestnut", the news of the meal reached the side of the chef, the masters were excited, except for the last banquet, the palace has not had a banquet for a long time, and since the snow returned to the palace, it has been treating the palace people well, deeply loved, everyone is gearing up, looking forward to showing their cooking skills.
After Pei Xuanling left, Yi Xue herself began to prepare for tomorrow's autumn chestnut banquet.
The protagonist of the autumn chestnut banquet is the calligraphy and painting of the students, but the literary meeting is well done, those things have been placed on the small bookcase in the study of the East Palace, and the snow is tired, and the idle will look at it at will, and over time, the ink treasures and paintings of the sons of each family are almost the same.
Although Yi Xue herself has not been very skilled in calligraphy and painting, after all, she was born in the court, and her mother also likes this kind of thing, and she has seen a lot of good things since she was a child, so it is not difficult for her to taste it.
However, at this moment, when Yi Xue looked at these paintings again, under the heavy colors of mountains and rivers and the light ink of smoke and rain, the first thing she felt was no longer the artist's hidden emotions, but the colors on the paintings.
I don't know if the stone blue, ochre, stone yellow, and cinnabar colors on the paper will hide what Yu Xue longs for.
After dinner, accompanied by Sima Cheng, Yi Xue also read a lot of books about mineral deposits, during which she unexpectedly found that minerals are not only related to the pigments of paintings, but also can be used in medicine.
Although the age is a bit old, the places mentioned in the book may not be traceable, but it is also a new discovery, which makes Xue Xue more confident.
Today, Yi Xue did not have time to go to the school to practice, Sima Cheng brought the stone bricks to the study, wrapped them in cloth, and while reading books or appreciating paintings, Yi Xue carried the stone bricks, and under the command of Sima Cheng, she made movements of lifting or lowering.
In the end, after reading the calligraphy and paintings, Yi Xue's arms were already sore.
In addition to the books mentioned by Pei Xuanling such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which may hide the location of mineral deposits, Yi Xue also read some books about craftsmen in prospecting and mining, including the "Six Pipes" mentioned by Sima Cheng before:
"First, there is ochre on the mountain, and iron under it; secondly, there is a magnet on the mountain, and copper and gold under it; thirdly, there is lead on the mountain, and silver under it; Fourthly, there is dansa on the mountain, and gold under it; Fifthly, there are mausoleums on the mountain, and lead, tin, and red copper under them; Sixth, there is silver on the mountain, and Dan under it. ”
Yi Xue felt that this "Six Pipes" might come in handy at tomorrow's Autumn Chestnut Banquet, so she secretly memorized it, but she was afraid of forgetting, so she wanted to copy the content of "Six Pipes" on paper and carry it with her, but when she picked up the pen, her hands couldn't help but start shaking.
After trying several times, the words written were all crooked, and when Sima Cheng saw this, a trace of strangeness flashed on his breezy face, and he unconsciously raised his hand slightly.
When he was a child, Sima Cheng usually studied before noon, while Sima Jing studied in the study, and he practiced calligraphy on the side; In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts and trained with the soldiers under Yang Hui in the school field.
At the beginning, I also encountered the situation that I couldn't hold the pen properly because my arm was sore the next day because I practiced archery the day before.
At that time, Sima Jing would put down the scroll in his hand and help him knead his arm, the technique and strength were different from ordinary people, and it was very effective.
Sima Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally leaned over towards Yi Xue and said:
"Your Majesty has practiced hard work, please let your subordinates loosen your arms for Your Majesty." Sima Cheng lowered his eyebrows and bowed, unable to see his expression clearly.
When Xue Xue heard this, the movements of her hands also stopped.
Loose width?
Loose wide!
Xue jerked her head up, her eyes widened in horror, her face turned pale, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva uneasily, and the air in the room seemed to stop flowing, so quiet that she could only hear her own heartbeat and snort.
I couldn't think of the excuse for a while, and in a moment, the sound of fabric rubbing had sounded in my ears, and I saw Sima Cheng walking towards Yi Xue, and when she was in a panic, Yi Xue directly threw away the pen in her hand, shook her head and waved her hand again and again, and her words were a little unreasonable.
"You, you're going to do it to me...... What to do......"
She kept backing away, wrapping her hands around her body until her back was against the back of the chair, and her whole body shrank into the corner of the wide chair.
A trace of doubt flashed on Sima Cheng's face, although he didn't know what Yi Xue thought, but when he saw her frightened look, he felt that it was probably not a good thing, and in desperation, his eyes stopped on Yi Xue's face, and that look couldn't help but make people feel sorry for the beast.
Finally, Sima Cheng stopped, he lowered his eyes and glanced at himself, then raised his hand, pinched his arm with his own hand, and then raised his head, looked at Yi Xue, and his thin lips lightly opened:
"That's it."
Well-dressed
