"Shizi?"

Feng Xiaoyue covered her mouth in surprise, Murong Lin saw that it was not easy for her to stand, shook her head, and walked over to reach out to support her.

"It's me. Otherwise, who do you think it is? ”

Feng Xiaoyue raised her head and saw the wound on Murong Lin's forehead, and pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, I hurt you by mistake." ”

Murong Lin took advantage of the darkness to quietly bend the corners of his mouth. Stretching out his hand to help Feng Xiaoyue to sit on the edge of the bed, Murong Lin looked at the room, "You live here now?" ”

"Well, for the convenience of viewing, if you go back to the Gentleman's Courtyard, no one will care about the seeds in the backyard." Feng Xiaoyue withdrew her hand.

"You can tell someone to check at any time." Murong Lin picked up the quilt and wrapped Feng Xiaoyue's upper body.

Feng Xiaoyue was a little uncomfortable, and took the quilt from his hand, "Do you think, even if it is ordered, who will really check it so diligently." It's good that I live here, but now it's inconvenient for my feet, so I don't have to go back and forth. ”

"Your drawings, I'm very interested." Murong Lin saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he decided to change his way. "When you go out today, didn't the blacksmith say you can't make it?"

"Does the prince have a way?" Feng Xiaoyue turned her head to look at him, Murong Lin lowered her head and smiled, and reached out to press Feng Xiaoyue's quilt, "Of course." ”

"The prince who has a domain will raise his own soldiers at home, and the weapons of the soldiers are all made by the ironsmiths privately raised by the palace. Your stuff is just a little longer pipe, and for the ironsmith, it's not a problem. ”

"What do you want?" Although Murong Lin's attitude towards her has improved greatly, Feng Xiaoyue is still difficult to rest assured.

Murong Lin moved the corners of his mouth bitterly, "My request is very simple, I will complete the drawings for you, and you will meet the Junzi Academy with me." ”

"No," Feng Xiaoyue refused, "These seeds are too weak, I have to watch them all the time." ”

"But you're here, it's not good for your leg injury recovery." Murong Lin frowned, "Then I'll take out the knot book, you complained about why I treated you like that on my wedding day, and I will give it to you to show my sincerity." ”

"The prince is a little conceited, do you really think that all the women in the world will be willing to tie the knot with you?" Feng Xiaoyue snorted coldly.

"Then why did you mention it?" Murong Lin was a little stunned, and Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him.

"Well, I promise you." Murong Lin was caught off guard by this sudden change, "As long as you do what I need, I will go back to the Gentleman's Court with you." ”

Murong Lin smiled, "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

After that, Murong Lin jumped back from the window again, and Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth because of his actions to soothe a somewhat disordered heartbeat.

The spice shop in the city had just opened, and a few people came to smash the field.

"Who of you is the shopkeeper," a fierce and fierce strong man led a woman with a shriveled mouth in, and yelled at the guys in the shop, "You shop dare to sell fakes, and it makes my sister's face red." ”

"This guest, everything in our shop is genuine, how can there be a problem?" The shopkeeper opens the door to do business, which is to make money in harmony, and he does not dare to offend people casually.

"So you're saying I'm panicking?" The strong man grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, "The agarwood incense we bought at your house yesterday, my sister used it at night, and her face was red and swollen this morning." This shadow is so big that anyone can see it. ”

The strong man said as he pulled the weak woman over. The woman covered her face and sobbed non-stop, and the strong man told her to put her hand down, but she refused to live or die.

"Sister, don't be afraid, my brother will call the shots for you." The strong man gritted his teeth as he spoke, and pulled the woman's hand off fiercely.

At this time, there were already many people outside the shop watching the excitement, and as soon as the woman's face was revealed, everyone took a breath. On a large white face, a red spot appeared, and many small packets bulged out of the spots, which looked like they were burned.

The shopkeeper also leaned in to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp. "This, it's so serious."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," the strong man let go of his hand and took out a small box made of thin iron from his bosom, which looked exactly like the other spice boxes in the store. "This is from your store, you say, how much to pay us. If we don't pay compensation, we will report to the official. ”

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating, Feng Xiaoyue suddenly remembered today that she wanted to come and see her spice shop, but she heard such a gourd case at the door. The strong man obviously forced the woman to disfigure and wanted to cheat money.

After thinking about it, Feng Xiaoyue let Xiaoyun support her and slowly walked into the shop. The shopkeeper's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly caught up.

"Boss, why did you come in person?"

"You are the owner," the strong man saw that he was a weak woman, and suddenly felt that he had won the money today, "Then look at how much money you should give." ”

"It is naturally cost-effective to spend money to break the disaster." Feng Xiaoyue limped to the seat and sat down, "It's just that money is a trivial matter, if someone ruins the reputation of our shop, then we will lose more than that." ”

"What do you mean by this, if something goes wrong with your own things, do you blame the guest?" The strong man snorted angrily.

"If it's really something from our shop, forget it, but this," Xiaoyun helped pick up the box that the strong man threw on the ground, Feng Xiaoyue opened it and sniffed it, and couldn't help but smile.

"Not to mention that there are some medicinal residues used in it, even the most important one in our agarwood incense, you didn't add it, and you still want to pretend to be agarwood incense?" Feng Xiaoyue spread out the box, "Guests who have used our agarwood incense must be very familiar with its taste, and I don't mind if someone is willing to come up and distinguish it." ”

When the onlookers heard this, they were all a little curious, but because the strong man in the shop was too strong, no one dared to come up.

"This is just your nonsense, if it is really Agarwood Yuxiang, my sister's face will not be ruined, you look at this box, it is indeed the same as the one in your shop."

"As for this," Feng Xiaoyue smiled slightly, covered the thin iron box, and then turned it upside down, turning the bottom up, and the shopkeeper saw this, and handed over a box placed on the shelf.

"The spice boxes in our shop, each one of them, will be printed with the shop's unique seal. Because it's relatively close, it's rare for someone to find out. ”

As she spoke, Feng Xiaoyue put the two boxes together for comparison.

"And this one of yours doesn't have any marks at all. Trouble Your Excellency next time you deceive someone, prepare everything, don't do it, and show your feet. ”

The people around laughed, and the strong man couldn't hold his face, so he scolded the disfigured woman first, and then pointed at Feng Xiaoyue: "Dare to demolish Lao Tzu's platform, Lao Tzu remembers you." ”

As he spoke, he pushed away the onlookers and ran out, and the woman, seeing that she was the only one left, hurried after him.

Chapter 23: Laying the Heating

The greenhouse is almost made, and Feng Xiaoyue has been living in the backyard to observe. Many days have passed, and some clues have been discovered.

Murong Yu's domain was to the north, and the people relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the general cold air was blocked by the high mountains, so it stagnated above the domain. Last time in the suburbs of the city, most of Uncle Wang's seeds were harvested at the foot of the mountain, not in the vast plains, so by mistake, most of the seeds that Feng Xiaoyue got in his hands could only survive in temperate or subtropical climates.

How can temperature-loving plants grow in this subarctic monsoon climate? It can only be said that the dense mountains and forests and the good thermal insulation effect can allow Wang Bo to receive these rare seeds, but this brings a problem to Feng Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyun." Feng Xiaoyue thought about it and made up her mind. Once you have these seeds, you can't waste them, and even if a dead horse becomes a live horse doctor, there will always be a glimmer of life.

"Miss, you call me." Xiaoyun was watering the flowers outside, and suddenly heard Feng Xiaoyue calling her, and almost thought she was hallucinating.

"Xiaoyun, you go and replace all the seed water trays that have not yet germinated with warm water to soak, don't be too hot, the seeds will not be able to stand it." Feng Xiaoyue stood up with the corner of the table, and Xiaoyun hurriedly went up to help her.

"As for those that have already sprouted, divide them first, call a few people, and I'll tell you what to do later."

Xiaoyun helped Feng Xiaoyue to sit outside the room wrapped in a straw curtain, which was full of seed water trays, and several girls were separating the seeds.

The girls work together, one pours out the water, the other pours the warm water, and the other takes the poured water out, and the action is fast.

When they were all separated and the water was changed, the girls mopped the ground clean, and Xiaoyun helped Feng Xiaoyue in.

The seedlings are immature, so naturally they cannot be planted directly in the ground. The water tray used for seed germination is wide, flat, and made of porcelain, although it is bulky, but there is no need to worry about it being rotted by the wet soil. The water tray is filled with soil and may be used as a substitute for the seeding tray.

"You, take the remaining empty water trays, one by one, to the backyard and bring some soil back, as long as the soil surface is a little lower than the edge of the water tray." Feng Xiaoyue looked at the number of water trays and the number of germinated seeds, and after careful calculation, she asked these maids to run twice, maybe it would be about the same.

"Yes." The little girls hadn't done any of these things, and they felt strange for a while, so they could run fast with the water tray.

"Xiaoyun." Feng Xiaoyue pulled her, "You ask someone to move a few cases over, and they are spread out in this room." ”

"Miss, isn't there a table here?" Xiaoyun was afraid that she would be left alone and refused to go.

"The table is too high, put it on the ground, this floor made of wooden planks will be soaked in a short time, take a few tables, and it will not affect the small buds to take root, and it will not let no one enter this room in the future."

Feng Xiaoyue didn't blame her, and slowly told her the reason, Xiaoyun didn't understand what she heard, so she could only praise: "Miss, you know so much." ”

When the case came, the maids also brought the water tray and put it on the table.

"Insert a bamboo skewer into the soil surface, open it down, put the small buds into the pit that has opened, and then gently cover the soil with a bamboo skewer. Remember to leave some distance between each small bud, otherwise it will be difficult to take it out in the future. ”

The maids sat cross-legged on the floor and planted the small buds according to Feng Xiaoyue's words, and the sunlight shone in from the south, just projecting on these small buds planted in the soil.

Murong Lin came to see Feng Xiaoyue today, but found that she was not in the room. As soon as I came out, I saw a few little girls holding water trays, and ran to the backyard with a plate of soil. The heart said, it must be Feng Xiaoyue who came up with something new.

On a whim, Murong Lin followed the direction of the little girls and followed the past to see what was new.

Seeing that she asked someone to move in the case, plant young shoots, and that theory, Murong Lin snickered in his heart, only thinking that Feng Xiaoyue was a half-truth, and suddenly wanted to be an old farmer.

It was warm in the greenhouse, and Feng Xiaoyue was sitting there, and she couldn't help but fan away a little heat. was busy, Feng Xiaoyue looked at the door, and Murong Lin was standing next to the door frame.

Murong Lin saw that his whereabouts were discovered, and he also walked in generously. As soon as he entered the house, he felt a burst of heat.

"Your house is warm enough." Murong Lin approached Feng Xiaoyue.

Feng Xiaoyue had to look up at him, "It's not enough, the seeds are very afraid of the cold." You feel hot just because you're used to the cold outside. ”

Saying that, Feng Xiaoyue paused, "But the ironsmith has news?" ”

Murong Lin couldn't help but smile when he met her hopeful gaze, and spread out the drawings he had brought with him on the table.

"Exactly. But he doesn't go out, and you can't walk, so I'll just mark it all on this piece of paper, and I'll tell him about it. ”

"Can you remember?" Feng Xiaoyue glanced at the drawings and turned her head to look at Murong Lin.

Finding Murong Lin's displeasure, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but hide her face with her sleeves, so as not to be found out laughing at him.

"I have asked someone to measure this room, it is eleven zhang long and ten zhang wide. To get heat to every corner of the room, the longest iron pipe should be at least 14 zhang. ”

Murong Lin looked at her as she spoke, calculating the result, and sighed in her heart that she was so fast in her mental arithmetic. Write down everything Feng Xiaoyue said to avoid mistakes.

"As for the other lengths, I think the ironsmith can also calculate them according to the drawings." Feng Xiaoyue's eyes were indifferent, and Murong Lin knew that she was suspicious, so he responded for the ironsmith. After all, if this little thing can't be done, he is not worthy of building weapons for the palace.

"How do you lay it?" Murong Lin asked.

Feng Xiaoyue raised her head and thought for a while, "The floor of this room is about three feet away from the land, and I need to lay another floor two feet from the ground." Lay the iron pipe between these two floors, then the thickness of the iron pipe should not exceed one foot, preferably about half a foot. ”

Murong Lin raised his eyebrows, this was indeed a test for the ironsmith.

"What are you doing with this pipe?"

Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him and pointed to her right back.

"Here, when the iron pipes are laid, a water stove is placed. Since there are planks on both sides of the iron pipe, it is not good to burn charcoal. ”

"The location of the doorway has sunlight coming in, and the iron pipe does not have to stick to the first floor under the floor, taking advantage of the height difference between the two ends,"

"Pour boiling hot water." Murong Lin Mauser had an epiphany and interjected.

"Exactly." Feng Xiaoyue nodded, "And boiling water in this room can also raise the temperature of the upper part of the room together." ”

Hearing this, Murong Lin couldn't help but smile lightly and grabbed Feng Xiaoyue's hand, Feng Xiaoyue wanted to take it back, but she couldn't break free.

Murong Lin said in a deep voice: "The idea is very good, I will cherish your hard work." ”

Feng Xiaoyue's heart moved, and she forgot about the struggle.
