Chapter 119: Proton (36)
Sensing Dongcheng's gaze, Dongli began to feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Since he was a child, he couldn't see Dongcheng's seemingly caring eyes like his brother, as if he had always been a little brother who hadn't grown up and needed to be cared for, obviously they were the same age!
"Naturally, how can a younger brother find fault with his brothers?" Dongli replied, smiled, and waited until the five princes and the others left, and then instructed Jiang Ran, "Jiang Ran, I'll help you ask for leave, you can go find Shi Tianjing now and ask what the situation is." β
I told it early in the morning, how could I not see anyone? He now regretted removing all the spies, so that he didn't know anything about it nowβ
Jiang Ran nodded, bowed his hand respectfully, and replied, "Yes." β
If he didn't have to behave like this in the past, he, Shi Tianjing and the Seventh Prince were brothers who grew up together, but when they grew up, some people changed, and their affectionate brotherhood completely became a relationship between monarchs and ministers.
He is now a minister, the seventh prince is the king, and the king has orders, he is no longer willing to obey orders, but his heart is cold in the end, and he turns his back, and his face is also lonely.
Dongli didn't notice Jiang Ran's abnormality, in fact, he didn't take Jiang Ran's rejection of himself yesterday to heart, that was the greatest gift to Jiang Ran, when he saw Jiang Ran early in the morning, he also took the initiative, and then he ordered him to investigate Shi Tianjing's situation, which was a manifestation of trust.
Such an act is simply the greatest forgiveness for Jiang Ran, Dongli thought like this, so he didn't notice Jiang Ran's abnormal reaction, but because he didn't notice it, he regretted it later, which is all a later story.
Dongli sent Jiang away, and then quickly rushed towards Xuesitang, Mr. Duanmu's class is not good, or the rules are good......

After those people left, Nan Zhao analyzed for a while, and now her top priority is to make the paper, and then to prevent the third princess and others from framing, just now Shi Tianjing was a sign.
It is estimated that the third princess defected to the Seventh Prince, and then the Seventh Prince sent Shi Tianjing, a little fat man, to clean himself up, as for why the Seventh Prince chose Shi Tianjing, she can roughly analyze it.
In fact, according to the storyline, Shi Tianjing's ending is very bad, his arrogant and narcissistic personality is used to showing his teeth and claws on weekdays, and he often does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority in front of the Seven Princes, so he offended the Seven Princes very early.
Although the Seventh Prince was annoyed by Shi Tianjing, he didn't do it himself, but after he ascended the throne, he directly came to a trick to kill people with a knife, that is, he borrowed the hand of the third princess to get rid of Shi Tianjing.
Although it didn't happen in the middle this morning, but with a little thought, you can understand that the third princess joined forces with the Seventh Prince in advance, so Shi Tianjing should have been treated as a waste by the Seventh Prince, and the stubble that came to her was to exert the last residual heat.
Thinking of this, Nan Zhao was glad that he had never had the idea of cooperating with the Seven Princes before, these Seven Princes were still too insidious and vicious, compared to the Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince was a villain.
As for the others, it is estimated that she is holding a wait-and-see attitude, she also offended the fifth princess yesterday, but it is worth it, after all, in Zhou Yuqian's place, she is considered to have enough favorability, as long as she is not close to the fifth princess, then Zhou Yuqian has no hostility towards her, and if there is no hostility, there will be no future death, this set of babies is really perfect~
And she is really not afraid that the fifth princess will target and clean herself up, after all, the fifth princess is in a group with the fifth prince and the sixth prince, and the fifth prince obviously wants to win her over.
So before the finished paper appeared, their group would not move themselves, and when they reacted that she had already cooperated with the prince, it would be too late at that time, and maybe she would have already joined the big tree of the Eastern Liang Emperor.
Thinking about it this way, this paper is even more important, and it is almost all the treasure that is betting on the paper-making matter.
Nan Zhao nodded, secretly cheering himself on!
"Master, breakfast is coming," Xiao Lizi sneakily glanced at the courtyard, and found that only the master was standing in the middle of the courtyard, and immediately became relieved.
To tell the truth, he was really afraid of the trouble of those highnesses looking for their masters, so he planned to go to the dining room and come back quickly after the meal, but Necheng wanted the dining room to reopen on the grounds that the time had passed, so it delayed the time.
While eating, Nan Zhao listened to Xiao Lizi's long-winded explanation, and was amused, she had a relationship with Xiao Lizi's master and servant, and he did do his best to help himself a lot before, so she was willing to give it, and she was willing to help avoid the things that could be avoided.
Nan Zhao waved his hand and commanded, "You go and fetch some water, fill the sink, and then you can rest." β
"Eh, okay," Xiao Lizi was very happy, he was also afraid that the master would think that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he is still willing to tell him to do things, which means that the master has not gone to his heart, and it is difficult to be unhappy~
After the meal, Nan Zhao began to carry out the next process of ancient papermaking - swinging the material into the curtain.
This process is not very difficult, but it requires more sophistication, meticulousness, and patience, otherwise a piece of paper is thick in some places, and thin in others, and the finished product must not be perfect.
Although Nan Zhao is not a perfectionist, the current situation is pressing, and the prince's party has discovered the paper again, so she has to put more thought and effort into it.
Xiao Lizi had already filled the sink with water, and Nan Zhao also moved the broken bamboo bucket from the bedroom, and then he was dumbfounded, because there was a lot of bamboo, and the water in the sink was only that, and with the naked eye, you could find that the proportions were wrong.
It's just that when Nan Zhao was in modern times, she only saw the ancient papermaking procedure from the book, but she had never practiced it, which was embarrassing-
She stood in front of the sink and was silent for a while, in fact, she was thinking of a way, and then she also let it go, so she tried to reconcile the bamboo and the amount of water according to the ratio of three to one, and groped a little bit, first tried to do it, and then adjusted it according to the feeling, she prepared a lot of bamboo materials, and she could still Huo Huo-
Things are done, not thought of, this is a good thing, Nan Zhao's technique was a little rusty at first, and then after trying seven or eight times, it was possible to perfectly swing the bamboo into a thin layer attached to the bamboo curtain, and after two or three successes, it was much easier to get around, and the action was much faster.
However, Nanzhao is a new hand, and many specific details and steps have to be explored little by little, so there are many unexpected situations, which slows down the overall speed, such as after the bamboo is covered with paper, the bamboo curtain needs to be turned over, and the wet paper falls onto the smooth stone slab.
This step is very torturous, Nan Zhao tried several times to succeed in that one, and then it was often broken, because of this, Nan Zhao almost collapsed, and then Xiao Li Zi was in a hurry, saying that he wanted to try it, so this job became Xiao Lizi.
At first, Nan Zhao was worried that the blisters on Xiao Lizi's hands would worsen if they were wet, and then Xiao Lizi said: "Master, don't worry, the minion's blisters have not been broken, originally I used to work, and there were often blisters on my hands, but later I found that this blister would get better faster if it was not broken, so I didn't care about it last night, hehe-"
"Okay, if you're tired, just say it, replace me," Nan Zhao said.
When Xiao Lizi heard this, he was very moved, this is the reason why he is willing to follow his master with all his heart, in this courtyard, I am afraid that the master is the only master who treats the slave as a human being-
He was really lucky to meet a good master like his master!
With Xiao Lizi's help, they finally completed the superposition of thousands of wet papers when the class was about to take place in the afternoon.
Xiao Li Zi was also very excited, because he could already imagine what these wet papers would look like when they were dry, they must be good things!
He looked at Nan Zhao and said, "What is the master going to do next?" Is it to be taken to dry in the sun? β
"No," she didn't tell Xiao Lizi about the next steps, the main thing was to keep one hand, otherwise if Xiao Lizi betrayed her, wouldn't she be a loss?
Nan Zhao said again, "Go to the small kitchen and bring the planks I prepared earlier." "Squeezing out the excess water from the wet paper layer with a wooden board is the last small step in the fifth step.
Once this process is complete, the final step is ready for drying.
The steps of squeezing the moisture of the wet paper layer are very easy to handle, Xiao Lizi can be completed by himself, Nan Zhao does not rob him, she often forgets her identity as the master before, although she is confident that Xiao Lizi will not bully the master, but the score that should be there still has to be put on a swing, otherwise let others see it, I am afraid it will be another incident.
Xiao Lizi pressed the water here, Nan Zhao himself was not idle, and went directly to see the adobe brick alley built by Xiao Lizi half a month ago, drying wet paper is the last step of ancient papermaking, and it is the most sloppy.
Whether the paper can be smooth and smooth, all depends on this step, of course, this process is also a big project, this adobe lane to standard, this is the foundation, but this baking wet paper needs to be carried out one by one, which is very energy-consuming and physical.
Fortunately, the first three knocks and nine kneeling came over, and there was no reason why the last trembling was not good to continue, so Nan Zhao carefully checked the alley and found that Xiao Lizi's craftsmanship was not bad, so Nan Zhao directly lit a fire.
This is also a necessary step, living in the alley, and then after reaching a certain temperature, you can officially carry out the work of drying the wet paper.
After Nan Zhao added a few pieces of wood to it, he returned to the courtyard to check the progress of Xiao Lizi, and as soon as he came out of the small kitchen, he saw two people surrounding Xiao Lizi, there were seven princes leaving Dongli, and six princes Dongmian!
How did these two get together? It's weird enough!
"Xiao Lizi, so many highnesses have come down, why don't you report it to me?" Nan Zhao's voice was a little cold, mainly because the Seventh Prince and others did not invite her to see her, coupled with the previous analysis, her heart was even more unhappy.
Xiao Lizi raised his head, looked at Nan Zhao with a blank look, and then said, "The master is atoning for his sins, and the slave isβ" As he spoke, he looked at the Seventh Prince.
When Nan Zhao saw this, he understood that Xiao Lizi was probably stopped by the Seventh Prince and didn't let him report himself, but he was really a chicken thief.
Seeing Nan Zhao's angry appearance, the Seventh Prince suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but he still explained in a good manner: "I asked Xiao Lizi not to report, we were just passing by, and I happened to see Xiao Lizi busy, so I came to see the excitement, I didn't want to disturb, Wenhua, don't blame Xiao Lizi." β
The Seventh Prince explained it well, but the Sixth Prince Dongmian didn't have that temper, but he remembered Dongcheng's admonition in his heart, so after just looking up at Nan Zhao, he no longer paid attention to her, but looked at the layer of wet paper wholeheartedly.
