Chapter 270: Inventing a pencil
"What to do?" Chen Jintong touched his nose.
"I heard that you can't write well horizontally and vertically, so this king came to help." Dongfang Xuanze smiled.
Chen Jintong heard the sound like a great drought looking at the clouds, and shouted victoriously, almost bouncing up, "That's great, the prince is helping." Chen Jintong thought he was here to ghostwrite.
As a result, the enthusiasm was quickly extinguished, Dongfang Xuanze glanced at Chen Jintong's cat-like words, and said depressedly: "I'm here to correct your penmanship, you see, write like this." ”
Chen Jintong also gradually realized the importance of calligraphy, after all, this is ancient times, there are masters in nature who would rather follow the cat and draw the tiger to learn a good life, she held the brush and followed Dongfang Xuanze behind pondering, but the stroke order and strokes written are still crooked and look weak.
Calligraphy is a skill that can only be learned with great difficulty, how can it be achieved overnight? Seeing Chen Jintong write like this, Dongfang Xuanze was also discouraged, and secretly wondered: How can such a smart woman write so ugly?
Not to mention that it was sent over for circulation, Chen Jintong couldn't take it when she saw it, she took a deep breath, "It would be nice to have a carbon pen or a fountain pen, or a pencil." ”
Chen Jintong sighed.
"What pen?" Dongfang Xuanze naturally hadn't heard of those stationery, and was a little curious, Chen Jintong explained, "The carbon pen is inked in the barrel, and the words written are black and shiny, as for the fountain pen, the principle is also simple, but the pencil is different from them." ”
Chen Jintong explained in three, but Dongfang Xuanze didn't understand what pen and what kind of pen and so on, Chen Jintong stared at the crooked words on the paper, and couldn't help but be anxious.
The time is almost up, the queen mother went to check it in person, and his words are completely out of line with the indicators, Chen Jintong took a deep breath, "No, I want to invent a pencil." ”
She said just do it, and drew a sketch on that piece of paper, Dongfang Xuanze looked at it, and there was a round wooden stick that was split in two from the middle, with a black refill in it, and the mark was clear, theoretically speaking, the hard nib seemed to be better than the soft nib.
"What's in there?" Dongfang Xuanze was curious.
"Graphite only." Chen Jintong explained the shape of graphite and so on, and asked Dongfang Xuanze to send someone to find it. ”
Ancient resources are abundant, and it should be easy to find these things, Chen Jintong gave up using a brush, and sat there with his legs cocked and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Dongfang Xuanze watched Chen Jintong recuperate, holding a folding fan to fan her.
In the afternoon, the pencil was not invented, Boss Zhang arrived, Sixi'er answered Zhang Fu in, and Zhang Fu immediately saluted when he saw Chen Jintong, "Master, the fortune teller has arrived, and we have been keeping an eye on it this time." ”
Chen Jintong went to Mingyue Villa, and finally saw the blind man who told the hexagram, the man was really walking around, walking and saying loudly: "Hexagram telling, marriage and funeral, gossip of the five elements, Qimen Dunjia." ”
Chen Jintong stared at the fortune teller, reasoning that his blindness must be disguised, the man's gait was extremely healthy, he paced to the door, Chen Jintong looked left and right, and found that this humanoid figure had no partner, and immediately ordered Zhang Fu to arrest him.
Boss Zhang secretly paid attention to this chattering old man since he saw it, and after getting the order at this moment, he led a group of people to rush over, and the fortune teller would also work a little hard, but he was outnumbered and dragged to the inner room.
Chen Jintong began the three-class trial, she was sitting on the precarious, staring at the fortune teller who was pushed in with a cold gaze.
"You're going to get caught, is that accurate?" Chen Jintong's condensed gaze made people worry, the fortune teller slowly raised his head, he stared at Chen Jintong, gradually lowered his head, and said nothing.
"Where's the man, said it." Chen Jintong took the bowl from the maid's hand and took a sip of the West Lake Longjing.
From beginning to end, his eyes were calm and unwavering, and his eyes were always glued to that person intentionally or unintentionally, and he could see that this person was very down, but he couldn't see that this person had any ill-intentioned intentions and purposes.
After a moment of silence, the man suddenly got up and said angrily: "If you want to kill, kill it, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, what am I afraid you will do?" ”
This sentence was inexplicable, but Chen Jintong seemed to hear something, "The dove occupies the magpie's nest? Don't talk nonsense, this Bright Moon Villa is my property! ”
"This is our wife's inheritance, you robber, lady, lady!" The old man looked up to the sky and roared, and seemed to be very sad when he looked at the situation.
He burst into tears, tears rolling down the placket of his clothes, "Madam, you have a spirit in the sky, take a look, this group of thieves actually bullied the old slaves like this, the old slaves can't beat them and are now tied up, so it's better to go with you, Madame." ”
The old man was full of grief and indignation, and after all, he crashed into the pillar next to him after roaring, who knew that Zhang Fu had already prepared, and grabbed his braid from behind, and the old man fell to the ground panting and scolding.
From his words, Chen Jintong understood something in a trance, she hurriedly got up, came down the steps and approached the old man, "Uncle, is the lady in your mouth my mother?" I'm Chen Jintong. ”
Chen Jintong didn't make a noise after taking over this Mingyue Villa, after all, Mingyue Villa did a secret thing, and she was an official of the imperial court, how could someone catch the little tail?
"Chen Jintong?" The old man looked at Chen Jintong seriously, his expression changed from frustration to excitement, and then from excitement to excitement and surprise, "Chen Jintong? You're Madame's child, aren't you! Isn't that right? ”
"That's natural, after the death of my mother, I am alone in the management of this manor, this is called Zhang Fu, and he is currently the number one here, we are considered to have washed the Dragon King Temple in a big water, get up." Chen Jintong suddenly met his mother's subordinates, and he was also overjoyed.
Although, Chen Jintong didn't know anything about the host's mother.
The old man's name is Wu Kai, and he has served his wife for many years, and he is a loyal dog. But since the death of his wife, he has been kicked out, and after leaving the house, he is already old, and he has no choice but to start telling people's fortunes.
Fortune telling is naturally nonsense, so you can't make much money a day, recently passed by the lady's tomb to worship, on the way back suddenly saw the bright moon villa lights, he wondered, and when he got closer, he found that it was in full swing outside.
Since the death of his wife, Uncle Wu has been running for his livelihood every day, and has never traced the relationship between Chen Jintong and his wife.
But after Chen Jintong said everything openly, he finally became enlightened, "It turns out that you are actually Madame's child, Tong'er, you, you have grown up." ”
