The eyebrows are like daisies, the lips are like zhu, the face is like peaches and plums, and the eyes are like clear streams.

During this time, I seemed to be a little fatter and a little taller. It's early summer now, and it's a few months early, and it's my birthday, so the days go by so fast......

The breeze swayed, blowing the corners of my moon-white clothes, and in the bronze mirror, the green vine stood behind him, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he was very scrupulous in his duty.

I stroked a lock of fine hair hanging down on my sideburns, and in a trance, I thought of the green beads again.

In the past, as long as I stood in front of the mirror, whether I was thin as a bean sprout when I was a child, or when I grew up, she would praise me for my beauty......

Counting the time, she is almost more than five months pregnant.

I'm pregnant in October, and if the plan goes well, I'll be able to see her soon......

"Qingteng, tell the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, I want to go out......"

"Yes." She answered, walked away, and came back in a short time to report that she was ready.

I answered, went out, stepped on the green jade stool to get into the car, and turned a corner to go to the old prince's mansion.

I haven't seen him for a few months, the old prince Rong is in good spirits, his half-white hair seems to be a lot darker, he is carrying a birdcage in one hand and a gold silk porcelain flower jar in the other, and he is humming a small tune beautifully.

Seeing me coming, he was immediately happy, "Yo, Xiao Tianmu is here, come quickly, come and see my new Iron Overlord." ”

Iron Overlord? What is it......

Confused, I stepped forward, poked into the jar, and immediately looked away.

In this golden silk porcelain flower jar, there is a large, black long-bearded cricket......

"How's that, pretty." He rarely fastened the net cover, and the crickets inside screamed twice in protest, but it was loud.

I nodded, "I don't know much about this, but it looks good." ”

"Of course!" Old Prince Rong was even more happy, "This thing, but it's a baby, that is, sensitive and smart, we have very few Xiqi, and there are already three thousand taels on the market, but they are all priceless." ”

I saw that he was happy, so I chatted with him, "Since there is a price and no market, how did the prince get it?" ”

He smiled and whispered, "This was from a new friend of mine." ”

New friend, Xiqi didn't ......

My mind moved, and I asked with a smile, "This friend of the old prince is really generous to be able to send such a thing to the market." ”

Old Man Rong took out a thin straw stick, poked into it along the gap in the net cover, poked it twice and said with a smile, "This thing, born in the depths of the grass, if you bring it from him, it will not cost three thousand taels." ”

Deep in the grass, new friends......

The southern Xinjiang region is vast, there are many grasslands, and Tuoba Qing first came to Shengjing......

This new friend of the old prince must be him.

I wondered yesterday that when southern Xinjiang came to make peace, how could there be no opposition in this huge court. Now that I look at it, even the prince of Ronglai, who has not been in the court for a long time, he has given gifts to his liking, and other important ministers ......

Scold......

This Tuoba Qing really can't be underestimated.

"Hey, little Tanmu, you're completely cured, right?"

Old Man Rong played for a while, and then he raised his head, and then he was concerned.

I smiled and nodded, "Okay." He said a few more words, and then dragged me to play chess.

If it was a weekday, I would have coaxed him to play two games, but today there were other things, so I told the truth and pushed it off.

The old prince was not angry, and asked me to come to see him often, and personally sent me out of the door, and when he left, he thought of the rice wine and immortal drunkenness I sent from the target county, and praised me for thinking about him in my heart, and said that it was much better than the eight lambs of Rong Xiaowang who did not believe in him after his family left......

He scolded angrily, his brows furrowed slightly, and the wrinkles under his eyes were clearly visible.

I suddenly thought that when I was a child, after Rong Ziyang got into trouble, he held a bamboo piece engraved with "Disciple Rules" and made a gesture to beat Rong Ziyang, chasing him all over my back garden......

Rong Ziyang has been gone for a year, old prince, I should miss him......

After saying goodbye to Mr. Rong, I asked the coachman to go straight and turn right, passed through several street markets, I stopped in front of a flower shop, went in to have a look, and saw two orchids in the corner.

I really wanted this flower, so I smiled and said for a long time, and finally bought it.

The shopkeeper is a careful person, and told me that the orchid is a delicate flower, buy it back, give it a sunbath, and water it regularly, and if you feel that it is not enough to live, you will return the flower.

I said yes, took the flowers and went back to the carriage, and soon arrived at the house of Rufuzi.

After knocking on the door, the little servant went in to report, and after a while, he led me into the house.

The last time I came to Lufu, it was still winter, and at a glance, the courtyard was full of dead branches and leaves. Now in early summer, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are blooming, and many novel flowers have budded, and clusters are crowded on the branches, just waiting for a morning light, and they will be fragrant and fragrant.

Passing through the courtyard, in the distance, I saw Lu Fuzi fiddling with something under the banyan tree, and when I got closer, I saw that it was a complex wood, like a table and a chair, in short, it was quite strange.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he glanced back at me, and when he saw the thing in my hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he threw the thing in his hand and ran over in two steps.

"Oh, that's a treasure." He hurriedly and carefully snatched the basket in my hand, took it high and looked at it carefully, and his face immediately became a flower.

"Yes, yes!" The more he looked at it, the more pleased he became, turned around and put the orchid on the stone table, walked to the house, took two delicate purple mud pots and small flower shovels, and carefully transplanted the orchid.

He did it very carefully, and every movement was careful, for fear of a negligence, and he would fold the leaves.

This Lu Fuzi has two addictions.

Obsession, naturally means that he is obsessed with trick kitkats, what is the addiction......

One is fond of antique porcelain vases, and the other is fond of exotic flowers and plants. Although I don't know much about flowers, but looking at his careful appearance, I understand that the store must have endured the pain of love.

I waited quietly for a while, until he had planted all the two orchids, and then he said, "Lu Fuzi, the visitor is a guest, I have brought you orchids, don't you want to give you a cup of tea?" ”

Lu Fuzi snorted and said, "Hmph, I don't know you yet?" Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, I sent a bottle last time, in order to help you almost set the house on fire, and now I sent such two treasures, there must be something to ask for. ”

I smiled, winked, and said, "Not necessarily, maybe it's pouring ...... I just want to come and see you, Master. ”

"You?" Lu Fuzi pursed his lips, "If you can simply come and take a look, then today's sun must be rising from the north, let's talk about it, what's the matter." ”

I smiled, "Master, I want to drink tea." ”

Lu Fu was happy, "Asking the old man to do something, and you still want to ask for tea?" Okay, then tea. Blessing, bring the treasured old Pu'er ......"

"Yes, sir." The little guy responded, and after a while, he looked at the tea soup and came over.

I took the tea cup and pecked some of it, the tea soup is rich, the entrance is mellow, and it is really good tea.

Lu Fuzi took a sip of tea, turned his head and said, "The tea is also drunk, if you have something, just say it, if you dare to say that you are eating here, the old man will blast it out for you." ”

I smiled, and then leaned over and asked, "Lu Fuzi, at the time of the Blue Pavilion, you have always studied a thing that can throw seven big stones in a row, right?" ”

Lu Fuzi nodded regretfully, "But at this time, it took the old man five or six months, many deliberations, and several exercises to successfully study the catapult." The old man was full of ambition and wanted to cast more of this thing, transport it to the border pass, and rush it into a military object, but later ...... Ay! ”

He sighed, "Later, several masters in the hall unanimously felt that the old man's invention was useless, saying that this car has very strict requirements for the size of stones, and if the war is tight, there is no time to choose stones of the same size, fools, they are fools who don't understand kitkat!" ”

The more angry he was, he hid the tea soup in one sip, and he was in a hurry, and coughed several times in a row.

Actually, those masters who knew the mechanism were right.

Whenever a city is attacked, it is generally used to hit the city gate with wooden stakes and throw large stones on the city wall to disrupt the enemy's position, so as to prevent the opponent from injuring our guards with bows and arrows.

Lu Fuzi's invention is the same as the last time he used a heating bulb to ignite a brazier.

Siege arrays require many boulders, and his invention, although speeding up the speed of stone throwing, also increases the difficulty.

Lu Fuzi is a stubborn temper, I heard that after that time, he had a big gap with several other masters, and I also heard that he was angry because of this incident, so he went into hiding.

It is also said that who does not want to use his strength to serve the country, and the research of the past year has been denied like this, and everyone is angry.

I smiled, leaned close to him and asked, "Master, your thing, but it's still there?" ”

He took a sip of Pu'er and squinted at me, "What are you asking for?" ”

I said, "Naturally, Master, is that thing still there?" I want to see it. ”

He frowned slightly, "Look at it, a pile of broken iron and wood has long been broken and burned as firewood." If you are bored and want to find someone to accompany you to relieve your boredom, it is better to go to Su Fuzi, the old man also retired a few months ago, and set up a house in the middle of the next street. You go to him, he likes you from a young age and can tell you stories for a day. ”

This old man is still so stubborn, he has to send off a guest if he doesn't have the right mind.

I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and study with Su Fuzi how to use the catapult, he is an old man who is well-read and has profound attainments." ”

"......Wait a minute," Lu Fuzi's eyes lit up, "you just said that you will use the trebuchet?" ”

"Hmm." I put down the teacup, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lu Fuzi, there is still something to do, let's go, I'll see you another day." ”

"Hey, wait!" He stopped me, "You...... Are you sure you're going to put that thing to use? ”

"Didn't the Master say that something had been broken?" I looked at him and smiled.

He frowned slightly, looked at me carefully, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you over to have a look." ”

So saying, he went to the house and fetched a key, and called me to follow him, and walked side of the courtyard, through a porch full of flowers, to a locked door.

Unlocking the lock, he stepped into the room.

There were a lot of strange things in this room, and there were a few things that I thought were fresh, but I didn't dare to touch them, for fear that there might be some hidden mechanism.

He led me to the pavilion, and I wiped it somewhere, and the pavilion opened to both sides. He strode into the darkroom, went to the corner, pulled out four or five rag bags, looked up at me and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly, why don't you come and help?" ”

I hurried over and carried several large bags with him to the open space at the door.

The bags were heavy, with wood and cast iron in them, and Lu Fuzi tore them open and put them together carefully. In a few moments, something the size of a carriage and a black iron cylinder was put together.

Lu Fuzi picked up a few rattan balls the size of a juju on the ground, put them into the lower end of the trebuchet in turn, and then pressed them lightly on the button......

With a "po......of", a rattan ball flew out of the cylinder, followed by a second and a third......

One by one, the balls flew away and landed lightly on the branches.

I frowned slightly, "The strength of this thing, isn't it too small?" ”

"Hmph, I'm underestimating you Lu Fuzi." He snorted, pointed the cylinder to the ground, picked up two cobblestones from another cloth bag in the corner, put them at the bottom, wiped the button a few times, and poked it gently......

"Tom!"

The stone ball flew out with a force, popping like dirt, and the one behind it followed.

The two stone balls collided, and with a "click", a trace ......of sparks collapsed.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was happy.

This thing has such a strong way!
