Chapter 8: Putting on the Horse's Shoes [2]
The next day, An Bao'er also entered the palace with An Zhanhan, the definition was to worry about the country, and she was not worried that there would be no materials in the palace if she didn't want them, but she had to believe in other things before she could implement it.
This is not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem, in addition to the emperor's entrustment, it is also troublesome to have a daughter, neither can you have three wives and four concubines like a man, but also cannot participate in the imperial examination, and the status of women who will never come out is too low.
But a small unintentional word can solve some things, and it will not attract some dead-hearted dissatisfaction among the courtiers, would you have a problem with a six-year-old child?
An Zhanhan went to the court to discuss national affairs, An Baoer went to the harem to meet Concubine De first, and it happened that Concubine De was - Li Mengqi, who had nothing to do and made two sets of clothes to be sent to King An's mansion.
This can make An Baoer very happy, this material is a good ice silk, it feels really good to touch the silky and cold hand with your hand, and it is much cooler than ordinary cloth when you try to wear it on your body, not to lose it is ice silk, and the things used by the royal family are definitely not ordinary.
Joyful and said words of thanks, but also thought that there would be such a benefit next time, and took out the things hidden in the purse, which was an ancient simple lipstick that had been boring recently.
That is, the so-called lip grease in ancient times, and the things that add color to the lips with your mouth are understood by the Ming people.
But An Baoer felt that this thing was too troublesome, and the production process was more cumbersome, generally the better ones didn't have a big smell, and the almost ones smelled bad, and they didn't know how to use them, and they weren't used to it, so they had to start researching.
I found non-toxic petals with a red color and dried them, ground them into fine powder, added honey, resin, and oil and boiled them over low heat more than a dozen times before the experiment was completed.
After inviting a better master of hand-making, he drew a picture for him to do it, divided it into small pieces of wood with wood, polished and carved smooth more than a dozen times, and the simple mold was done, but it was not good enough to carve the pattern and dye the color, and after the paste was poured in, the summer was hot and had to be sealed with ice to form, so the two of them tried it themselves, and took a useless one out to explain to Concubine De.
Generally, the women in the palace don't like to eat, but they love rouge, gouache or all kinds of accessories, all of which are expensive on the face.
Lipstick is not only too troublesome, but it is rarely used to carry it with everyone, and there are only two lipsticks now, not only novelty but also easy to use things to bring out and have face.
Sure enough, Concubine De was very happy to let An Baoer try it, the chroma and molding are good, and the red color shows that her complexion is much better, and I feel quite satisfied.
Except for the fading of this has not been broken for the time being, and the production is too troublesome, everything else is okay, I feel that I may not be long before I have another fortune, and I always feel that there is silver in my pocket in the daytime.
"Sister Bao'er, hahaha," a little cute baby pounced on me and interrupted my fantasy.
"Alas, little master, don't fall if you run slowly," a group of people from behind ran in, all out of breath.
"Slaves, participate in the concubine."
"Well, let's go down and wait."
"Yes, Niangniang," a group of people can't even outrun a three-year-old baby, and that's enough! The cute baby in his arms is the youngest son of Emperor Xian, and naturally he is also very loved, ranking ninth, named Li Qike, and his nickname is Xiao Ke.
Originally, the two of them were not acquainted, but this little baby is also a quirky master, he likes strange things, and An Baoer is the creator, and he likes to play with An Baoer, and he is still noisy when he hasn't seen him a few times.
An Bao'er hugged him up, pointed his finger at Xiao Ke'er's forehead, and there was another burst of laughter: "Hahahaha........."
"Little Kerr, you run so fast on such a hot day, be careful to break your newly erupted front teeth, it will be ugly!" Half-jokingly teased him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"My sister is here, if I don't run faster, I won't be able to see my sister, it's half a month, hum," the little guy also lost his temper and pretended to be arrogant.
"You, you, there is a reason to be naughty, my sister was forced last time, do you know?"
A certain child didn't hear it at all, and played with his own hands, An Baoer took a sip of the milk aroma on his body and put him on the stool to play by himself, and Concubine De also laughed.
"I think Ke'er is only close to two people, one is the emperor, and the other is you, as soon as you come, he is quiet, I didn't see Bao'er a few times ago, you are still sitting here with me crying, she can't care about it."
Hearing this, I looked at the child playing next to me, "Don't make fun of him, children like to play with people of the same age, and there are few people in the palace who are not, so he likes to stay with me." ”
"Haha, Bao'er is right," the voice from the distance was Emperor Xian, and it was estimated that he had already fallen into the early dynasty.
"See the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Calm down, Bao'er, come on, follow me to the study!"
stood up, and just about to leave, he saw a little idiot baby pulling the corner of his clothes, flattening his mouth and being very aggrieved, and hurriedly took Ke'er's hand and went together, and sure enough, he was immediately happy, and he jumped up and down when he walked.
The place where you turn left and right is naturally not the imperial study.,But to go to the Foundry Bureau.,In the morning, the drawings were taken to make horseshoe.,Now it's estimated to see if it's what you imagined.。
When you walk fast, you feel that it is hotter than usual, and the physical melting point of molten iron also needs a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius, so hot summer people can't stand it, and someone will take something out of it after a while, which is exactly what you need for horse iron shoes, not big or small, and the iron trough can also clearly show seven small eyes, nodded and walked to the stable.
When I got closer, there were not many of them, only a dozen of them, not more than a dozen horses, and many horses also had to be divided into breeds and bloodlines, but An Baoer didn't study this, so she only told them the method, and just do it.
Because it is not easy to put iron shoes on the horse, the horse's hooves have only one toe, the rest of the toes have evolved, and there is a layer of three centimeters of cuticle on the outside, which is its natural shoe, but after running for a long time, the unevenness of grinding, coupled with the infection of rain or dirty water, it is necessary to grind the outside more smoothly.
Before wearing, you also need to put down all the powder in the horse's hooves, quietly watch these steps are carried out in turn, and finally only a few people need to press the horse and nail it.
The whole process of the horse seemed to have a spirit, barked twice and then did not move, and when the four horseshoes were all ready, it stood up and walked in a circle, its hooves on the bluestone ground to make a "click" sound, the horse seemed to be satisfied with this, and snorted at the sky.
"Okay, good," Emperor Xian clapped his hands and praised him, "It seems that the matter of the horse's hoof damage has been solved, and the Cast Iron Bureau is fighting thousands of them, and Prince An and the Lord of Anping are both meritorious ministers, reward!" ”
"Thank the emperor for the reward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xian couldn't wait to run off his horse, leaving behind a group of envious, jealous and hateful ministers, you look at me, I don't stay when I watch you go, and An Zhixiao thought that since the horse is wearing shoes, can it also be dressed for it!
When you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, isn't the damage of the horse greatly reduced! Tell An Zhanhan this idea and slip away, after all, he has nothing to do, and he took Xiao Ke'er to the Imperial Garden to look for flowers.
The next day in the court, Emperor Xian praised An Zhanhan, this time her father was also both civil and military, which made him miserable, one was because of the emperor's praise, and the other was because he solved an uneasy matter.
So on the same day, I told An Baoer for the first time that I wouldn't go out secretly in the future, as long as I brought the designated person, I could go out to play openly in the future.
