Chapter 64: The Stargazing Observatory
Chapter 64: Stargazing Observatory
After several days of rain, the heat of the scorching summer was completely gone, and the evening was even cooler, Xiaodong put the gauze quilt on his body, half spread and half covered, and his cheeks were attached to the pearl pillow, and even in his dreams he could feel an autumn mood that should not come at this time.
It rains and can't go anywhere, everywhere is wet and damp, the clothes she wears have been specially dried and ironed, but this is still different from the sun drying, and it is rainy outside, even if the dry clothes are worn on the body, they are still damp and sticky to the body after a while, which makes people feel tired in their hearts.
Finally, it was a sunny day, the sun was so hot that people's eyes couldn't open, Xiaodong ran in front, and Hongya and they hurriedly chased behind: "County Lord, don't fall." ”
Even if you don't fall, you can't let the sun burn.
Xiaodong's skin is tender, and it is usually a red mark when gently rubbed by his nails, and the sunburn is particularly difficult to heal.
Shen Qiang pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly saw the sunshine after many days of rain, even she felt refreshed and couldn't wait to shout a few loudly to express her chest.
However, seeing that Hongya and them are so embarrassed, Shen Qiang is still willing to be a good person.
She held Xiao Dong's hand and said with a smile: "By the way, it's rare to meet a sunny day, haven't you always wanted to see the stargazing platform?" ”
"Yes, yes, go to the stargazing platform."
This sunlight is so good, you have to catch it well, and the smell of damp mold on your body is sunburned.
Long bluestone stairs lead to the heights, and the edges of the bluestone have been smoothed and glittered in the sun.
"So tall?"
"If you want to watch the sky at night, you can't be high, when the stargazing platform was not built in the past, the highest was the Xianyou Pavilion. Later, the observatory was built, and the tallest was not counted there. But Xianyou Pavilion is good, the following is Yuhua Pond, there is a view. There's nothing to see on the stargazing platform. ”
Xiao Dong was not afraid, and clenched his fists to encourage himself. Since returning from Zhuangzi, she has been insisting on a certain amount of activity, and climbing the stargazing platform should not be difficult for her.
Shen Qiang also pointed out to her: "Lift up the skirt, don't step on it." ”
Hong Aya followed the two nervously, neither daring to get too close to get in the way, nor daring to take one more step, for fear that Xiao Dong would slip.
I suddenly wanted to come to this stargazing platform, and when I went back, Hu Shi had to know that he had to hold her and reprimand her severely, which was light.
Xiao Dong looked up, the sun was shining.
She narrowed her eyes, as if she saw a figure flashing by.
"Is there anyone up there?"
Red Aya shielded her hand from the sunlight and glanced up, but didn't see anything.
"It's probably Qin Tianjian's people, it's rare to have a sunny day, and they're also busy."
That's the same thing...... The people of Qin Tianjian also have to predict the weather or something, and they also have the first-class work of observing the sky at night and judging the bad luck, and they are not idle.
To build such a stargazing platform, it requires huge financial, material and human resources, and in such an era, only the state can do it.
"How long has this observatory been built?"
Hong Aya thought for a moment: "I don't know this, this one is much older than my age." ”
By the time they were halfway up, the wind was much stronger than the flat ground, blowing their hair and dresses fluttering. Xiao Dong reached out and grabbed the stone fence on the side, and reached out to wipe his sweat.
Hong Aya was worried and dissuaded: "County Lord, let's go down." In such a high place, how can it be good if it falls. ”
Xiao Dong glanced down, and when he looked down, he felt nothing, and when he reached a high place, he was faintly dizzy and weak.
But I've climbed more than half of the way, and now I'm giving up, isn't it a pity?
She gritted her teeth: "Let's go." ”
Shen Qiang was also out of breath, since she came to the capital, she seemed to have never walked so many roads and climbed such high stone steps.
The two palace maids of Changchun Palace who followed behind also secretly complained, but they couldn't go up or down in this kind of place, and they couldn't reach out and pull her to hug her and get her back - in fact, she shouldn't have been allowed to come here in the first place, who would have thought that this little county lord would have such a stubborn temper and have to climb this stargazing platform.
One of the palace people was more clever, and first said: "I'll go get some herbal tea cakes, and then call two more people to serve the county lord, and I'll be back immediately." ”
The other palace maid reacted a little slower than her, and the palace maid who had just realized that she had spoken earlier had already turned around and held on to the railing and went down.
Hong Aya and the rest of the palace people scolded in their stomachs: It's so treacherous!
She slipped away first.
However, Hong Aya can't leave Xiao Dong no matter what, even if she wants to call someone, she can't leave.
In fact, although the stargazing platform is high, it is not very steep, Rao is so, and finally climbed the last stone stone to the top of the platform, Xiaodong was also so tired that he sat down, only to feel that he was not panting enough, and his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of his chest, his head was sweating, and his eyes were flowering.
It seems that her exercise is still not enough, and it is necessary to think of other tricks. Maybe Zhao Lu is willing to teach her boxing techniques or something like that, and let her practice?
Hong Aya gasped twice and touched the handkerchief to wipe Xiaodong's sweat. The wind was stronger at the top of the stargazing platform, and Hong Aya was afraid that she would sit on the edge of the stone steps, so she whispered, "County Lord, let's go over there and sit and rest for a while." ”
"Okay."
Xiao Dong and Shen Qiang held hands and helped each other to stand up.
The sun cast their small shadows into the ground, the sun was blazing, the color of the ground was white and dazzling, and the dark shadows seemed so vivid and deep.
Shen Qiang pressed the corner of her skirt with her hand and walked slowly step by step. There was a lot of sweat on her body, and she could feel the beads of sweat on her back dripping downward, snaking and slow. The sun burned the skin as if it were about to catch fire.
"Isn't there anyone guarding here either?"
"Usually someone should be watching, but no one will come."
Xiao Dong saw the armillary sphere standing on the stone platform from a distance.
In the previous life, she had not had the opportunity to see this with her own eyes, only the pictures and models.
She pointed there, "I want to see that." ”
Hong Aya bent down, pulled a strap from her purse, and tied Xiao Dong's windswept hair: "Okay, let's go over and take a look." ”
I don't know if it was the sun or the wind, her face was flushed.
Red Aya took a step to the side, shielding her from the sunlight. The other palace man was also very eye-catching, and stood to the side to block the wind.
Xiao Dong stood under the armillary sphere, his hand gently caressing the copper pillar.
There has never been a time when I have realized so clearly that I am an ancient.
It's too far away from the time of the previous life.
Far away, she will never go back.
Even forget everything about that era.
"County Lord, let's sit there and rest for a while." Hong Aya estimated that the person who called the person should also be called, and the herbal tea and pastries can also be brought.
Xiao Dong's clothes were also wet with sweat, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't open his eyes when he saw Shen Qiang being exposed to the sun, he wiped his sweat vigorously, and said a little apologetically: "Okay, let's rest for a while, and go down when the person who picks us up comes." ”
Not far from the east there is a stone monument, behind which there is a shadow. Xiao Dong sat down against the stele, and Shen Qiang simply took a step to the side and sat in the shadow of the stone turtle on the stele.
Red Aya stayed by Xiao Dong's side as usual, pulled out the comb on her head to comb Xiao Dong's hair, and then braided it. As soon as I tied the headband, I listened to the sound of small footsteps.
Someone's coming.
