Chapter 14: Little Stars
Ye Xiaoyan played wildly on the strings. In the eyes of others, it was a flurry of bullets. Actually, she was looking for a scale tone.
Although she has never learned the guqin, any instrument, as long as she knows where the scale is, can still play it.
In a few moments, she had roughly settled on a few scale positions. Then, a song "Little Star" that sounded a little awkward came out.
After Ye Xiaoyan finished playing, she looked up at Nangong You with a little pride. I saw Nangong You's eyebrows tightly locked, as if he had just drunk a bowl of bitter medicine.
Nangong You: "What are you playing!" ”
"Little star." Ye Xiaoyan said and sang.
Twinkle and twinkle
The sky is full of little stars
Hang in the sky and shine brightly
It's like a thousand small eyes
Twinkle and twinkle
The sky is full of little stars
The corners of Nangong's eyebrows twitched. Listening to the singing, it is complete with five notes. But what came out of it seemed to be a different tune.
Nangong You said: "Let me teach you!" ”
"Oh." Ye Xiaoyan stepped aside.
Nangong You's hand stroked the body of the piano, began to explain the strings and emblems to her, demonstrated a few overtones, scattered sounds, and press notes, and explained fingering to her.
Nangong Youjiao is serious, but Ye Xiaoyan is not very interested. Despite this, she still cooperated with Nangong You's instructions.
Nangong You was surprised by Ye Xiaoyan's talent in learning the piano, and in just one afternoon, she was able to pop up a little appearance.
Until dinnertime, Nangong You had to teach again, Ye Xiaoyan said: "That's it for today." Do you want to get down to business first? ”
"What's the matter?" Nangong You asked.
"Tell Qingfeng to scare Chun Tao and let her escape tonight."
"Hmm." Nangong You nodded, called Qingfeng in, explained something, and Qingfeng took the order.
The maid came to pass the meal, and the two were about to eat, when Steward Zhou came in to tell him.
"Princess, among the prescriptions you prescribed, there are eleven herbs. I went to all the medicine halls in the capital, and they all said that they had never heard of the eleven medicines. ”
"No?" Ye Xiaoyan was surprised.
"Yes," Steward Zhou replied, "I consulted the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor also said that he had never heard of these eleven herbs. ”
Ye Xiaoyan thought to herself: Could it be that the name is different?
The names of these medicinal materials written by her were written according to the names in the National Pharmacopoeia in her previous life. However, she also knows that many medicinal herbs have other names. For example, andrographis, also known as bitter gall grass. Borneol, also known as borneol. Red vine, also known as red reed, blood vine and so on. Abound.
She didn't know what other names the medicinal herbs in this world were, or maybe it was a name she didn't know. However, no matter what the name is, things are still the same.
Thinking of this, she said to Steward Zhou, "You can find me all the books on medicinal herbs." I'm going to take a good look. ”
Steward Zhou looked surprised and said, "Princess, that's a lot of books!" ”
"I know. Just go and find it. ”
"Yes."
Ye Xiaoyan was in a bad mood. What I thought was going well, I got into trouble at the beginning.
Seeing this, Nangong Yu pinched her palm and said, "Eat first." ”
The two sat and ate opposite each other. Ye Xiaoyan ate dullly. Thinking, what if there are really no medicinal materials, what kind of medicinal materials to use instead.
Nangong You saw that she was eating absent-mindedly, and knew that she was thinking about medicinal herbs.
He also hopes that he will recover soon. He still wants to have a baby with her sooner. However, this matter did not come in a hurry.
Nangong You didn't have anything to say, and said, "You are very talented in playing the piano, have you learned it before?" ”
"Nope." Ye Xiaoyan replied casually. She was still thinking about the treatment.
"I thought it would take at least three days to teach you this. Unexpectedly, you learned it in one afternoon. ”
Ye Xiaoyan did not respond.
Nangong You saw that she bowed her head and was silent, so she ordered the people behind her to push him over in a wheelchair and sit next to Ye Xiaoyan.
Ye Xiaoyan looked up at him at this time and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Nangong Youchao put a piece of meat in her bowl and said, "Don't just eat rice, eat more vegetables." ”
Only then did Ye Xiaoyan realize that she was too focused on thinking about things and ignored Nangong You.
She smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”
"Why do you say you're sorry?"
"Originally, I said that I could cure your leg, but before I started, I encountered a problem with medicinal materials."
Nangong You smiled and didn't say anything.
Ye Xiaoyan continued: "But don't worry, when I finish reading those medicinal herb books, I will definitely be able to solve it." ”
Nangong You smiled again and didn't say anything. The men pushed him back into his original position. Continue eating.
Ye Xiaoyan looked at Nangong You's wheelchair, which needed to be pushed to move such a place, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll transform your wheelchair first!" ”
"Transformation? Retrofit what? Nangong was puzzled.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "By installing two handwheels on the wheels, you can push them yourself without the need for others to push them." ”
Handwheel? Nangong You couldn't imagine what it was.
"I'll draw it for you."
Ye Xiaoyan didn't eat anymore. Ditch the dishes and chopsticks and walk quickly to the study.
When Nangong Youhou came to the study, Ye Xiaoyan was clumsily holding a brush and drawing something on the paper.
Ye Xiaoyan is not good at drawing. When Nangong You came to her side to see what she was painting, she saw that the circle was not round, the straight line was not straight, it was twisting and twisting, and it was unbearable to look at directly.
Nangong You couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Tempest took the opportunity to glance at the paper as well. Contempt in the heart. This woman, in addition to having a beautiful face, is worthy of the prince.
Ye Xiaoyan knew that Nangong You was laughing at her painting skills. She herself thought the painting was too ugly.
It's all because this brush is soft and not suitable for painting. Right! That's why.
Ye Xiaoyan found a very reasonable reason for herself in her heart. Although if she is given a hard pen, she still can't draw circles and straight lines. Of course, at least it won't bend and shake.
Nangong You laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, and asked with a smile: "What are you painting?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan looked as a matter of course: "Wheelchair." ”
Nangong You pointed to the lump on the paper, found a small circle from the circle on top of each other, and asked, "This is the handwheel you are talking about?" ”
It's really difficult for Nangong You's ability to identify. You can see that.
"Yes," Ye Xiaoyan didn't care about his smile at all, and said, "Add a small wheel here, which is the same as the big wheel." If you turn the small wheels, the big wheels will rotate with you, so you don't need someone to push it, and you can turn the wheelchair yourself. ”
Nangong looked at the picture thoughtfully. After looking at it for a while, I felt that something was wrong.
Nangong Youdao: "This, why is there only one wheel on both sides?" Isn't the wheelchair going to fall down? ”
"Uh......" Ye Xiaoyan said.
She drew it in a wheelchair reminiscent of her past life. I only thought about the big wheel and the hand wheel, and forgot that there was a small wheel in front of me.
So she picked up the pen and drew two more small circles in front of the sides of the wheelchair.
The wheelchair of this world, with four wheels. Two on each side, the same size. It's like a car wheel.
And this one painted by Ye Xiaoyan is the style of a modern wheelchair. Two small wheels in the front and one large wheel in the back. In this way, it is convenient to add a handwheel and make it easier to push by yourself.
Ye Xiaoyan explained to Nangong You with a comparison. Nangong You finally understood.
He nodded appreciatively and said, "This is indeed much more convenient." ”
After speaking, he re-laid the paper on the table and drew it again according to what Ye Xiaoyan said.
Looking at Nangong You's paintings, steady and clear, each of which accurately depicts her intentions.
Ye Xiaoyan felt that this was not the fault of the pen.
