"What time is it?" Xia Xiaoman took the handkerchief and asked while wiping his face.

"Huh?" Fennel clearly didn't understand.

"Hmm, I mean......" Xia Xiaoman pursed his lips and changed his vocabulary, "I mean, what time is it?" ”

Fennel went out and came back and said, "It's a moment." ”

Xia Xiaoman shook his head, and counted his fingers for a long time to figure out that it was ten o'fifteen, but fortunately, he was able to carry it down smoothly. But it's too hard to convert like this. "That...... You went out and looked...... Uh, what do you know the hour? ”

She didn't dare to ask about the clock, which didn't seem to be invented by anyone, and it was very technical.

Sure enough, Fennel replied, "Missing a moment." ”

Xia Xiaoman clicked his eyes, it seems that the master of crossing is really not the almighty protagonist, and this technical difficulty has not been overcome. She was very curious, so she asked if it was convenient for the fennel to take a look at the leakage.

Fennel thought about it, moved a small table and put it in front of the bed, went out to get the tray and brought it over to Xia Xiaoman to see.

The leakage carving is the use of water balance drip principle, observe the data displayed on the engraved arrow in the pot to calculate the time, so it is composed of two parts of the leaky pot and the carved arrow, and the leaky pot is divided into two parts of the sowing kettle and the kettle, the sowing kettle has four layers, all have small holes, can drip water, and finally flow into the kettle, there is a standing arrow in the kettle, the arrow is engraved for 100 minutes, the arrow gradually rises with the water storage, and the number of engravings is exposed to show the time.

Xia Xiaoman studied it by herself for a while, and called Fennel to teach her to read, and after understanding it, she complained in her heart that the pioneer of crossing came, even if the clock couldn't be invented, it would be better to change the time format, this is always a source of stems and terrestrial conversion, how tiring and panicked it is!

You have to think about it...... Why don't you draw a timetable to correspond! She immediately asked Fennel to fetch pen and ink.

Fennel was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, this is ...... That, you forgot that there is no pen and ink in our room, what does the master want to write? The slave and maid found someone to write it. ”

Xia Xiaoman suddenly realized that he was reckless, there were not many literate women in ancient times, since this "original" was found at the bottom of the society, the probability of reading a book is probably less than one percent, there is no pen and ink in the room, nine times out of ten is because the "original" is illiterate at all.

She can't be said to have amnesia if she can't do it in the "original", but she can't ...... If you don't make people suspicious, you'll be hell.

What does an illiterate person want to do with pen and ink? Her brain teaser turned sharply, and finally made her turn out of the rut, who said that if you want pen and ink, you must write? Can't you draw! Of course, it's not a landscape flower and bird pen, can't she just paint two strokes! Although I don't know how to write and paint with a brush, I learned how to hold a pen in primary school calligraphy class; Although she is not good at painting, but anyone who has gone to kindergarten, it is no problem to draw a stick figure of the zodiac, just rely on this record and write the Arabic numerals corresponding to the time.

After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Well, I don't write, I just want to draw something, well, I can understand it myself." ”

Fennel smiled: "It turns out that the master wants to draw patterns." She was a little surprised, because her master embroidered very well, the patterns were all in her head, and she had never seen her master draw a picture. But on second thought, maybe the master had forgotten those tricks, and it was impossible to say if he wanted to re-compare them.

Fennel turned around and turned out a small burden in a vermilion lacquer box by the wall, put it in Xiao Man's hand, and said, "The master will choose the materials and wiring first, and the slave will go to the sixth master's study to ask for paper, pens and cinnabar." ”

When I opened the baggage, there were some bits and pieces of satin cloth inside, and a few small packets of velvet thread. Xia Xiaoman is stupid, embroidery? Where can she embroider! Does cross-stitch count? It's not much embroidery......

"I don't embroider - uh, I forgot how to embroider that...... So it's not about drawing any tricks. You don't have to go and get pen and ink......" Xia Xiaoman hurriedly waved his hand.

Fennel straightened her eyes, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she frowned. Her master was originally a talented chef, so even if she was not favored, she could barely stand in this house, but this time she woke up, and she didn't remember all these skills, how could this be good? The days to come...... She looked at Xia Xiaoman worriedly.

Xia Xiaoman also somewhat understood her helplessness, it seems that the "original" is a model worker, threading needles and threads to do laundry and cooking. Now that she is such a slacker, she will not do any of these tasks in the future. She decided to find some excuse to interrupt the past, lest Fennel be too sad, so she said: "I don't paint anything, because I think it's troublesome to go out to get pen and ink." ”

Fennel will be wrong, and suddenly think that the master may want to draw something that no one knows, if you go to the study to get pen and ink, wouldn't it be known to everyone in the eternal life. While secretly scolding herself for being confused, she smiled and said, "Master, take the thrush's ink Kecheng?" ”

Xia Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "Cheng!" Then he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly touched his face - ancient women shaved their eyebrows and then painted, and they were not here too. There were still eyebrows in the tentacles, so she put her heart down, and then laughed at herself for being stupid, didn't she look in the mirror yesterday, she had eyebrows.

Fennel removed the missing carving, took a small piece of thrush ink from the makeup, mixed some water, and licked the ink with a very thin thrush pencil, thought about it, and took out a few white silk handkerchiefs from the burden of the needle and thread, handed it to Xia Xiaoman, and said, "How about the master painting on this?" ”

Xia Xiaoman has a black line, Daiyu, the title is three uniques......==|||. It's a pity that she is a ghost drawing, and she is blind and has a good veil. But there was nothing else to use, so she had to use this. She leaned over the small table and began to paint.

I don't know if it's because the thrush is thick or because of the dense texture of the veil, and it doesn't blur much after being stained with ink, but you can really see that the meaning of the painting is like that.

was painting, and Cardamom, who went to the kitchen to call for rice, came back, because he saw that Xia Xiaoman didn't know what to write and paint, and he didn't dare to quarrel with her, so he only quietly pulled fennel and said about passing the rice.

After a while, Xia Xiaoman finished drawing, shook the handkerchief and prepared to dry it, and called fennel and put it together with the leakage, so that she could use it in the future.

Cardamom saw the handkerchief shaking in her hand, and saw that Wu Dudu didn't know what to draw, and then looked, she actually worshipped it, and said to Fennel with some joy: "It's still the master's heart and the rune drawn, and when I turn around, I'm not afraid of evil spirits." ”

Sweat...... It's really a standard ghost drawing...... Xia Xiaoman didn't know what to say, and he was embarrassed to ask the fennel to be left outside, if he was seen, it would be good to laugh off his big teeth, but if he thought that he was a witch and harmed people, it would be miserable. She grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes wandered, and she didn't know where to put it.

Although Fennel didn't know what the master was drawing, she also knew that it wasn't a drawing, and after listening to Cardamom's words, she couldn't help but laugh and put a little Cardamom on her forehead: "You! Then he walked over and said to Xia Xiaoman with a smile: "What does the master want?" ”

Xia Xiaoman shook his head and looked at the handkerchief in his hand with a little embarrassment.

Fennel advised: "But the master wants to put this veil up? If you want to carry it with you, you might as well put it in your purse. ”

Xia Xiaoman nodded, and Fennel took out a square purse embroidered with lotus root and lotus under her pillow and handed it to her. Xia Xiaoman took it, and first saw that it was about the "original" embroidered by herself, which was really good, but it was a pity that this craft was lost to her. She untied the tie and was about to put it in, when suddenly she saw something in it, and because she couldn't see it clearly, she turned over her purse and poured it out.

It was two bronze keys, one long and one short, about the length of the index finger and the short one the length of the thumb. There are also three pieces of fragrant cake the size of a chess piece.
