The Dahua time system is divided: hour, moment, tea, incense, snap of fingers, breathing, and instant.

The golden crow starts in Maochen, in the middle of noon, and falls in Youxu; and in the rest of this, there are Si, Shen, Hai, Zi, Chou, Yin, a total of 12 hours.

There are four moments, three teas at one moment, and each tea is divided into two pillars of incense, and one pillar of incense contains ten fingers, each finger is six breaths, and then five moments are one breath; according to this calculation, there are 86,400 moments in a day, which is not insignificant.

It is used to keep time, and it is a "sand hopper funnel" object, which is complicated and exquisite. There are two mouths of the dish, facing the sky, the diameter is half an inch wide, facing the ground for the out, the diameter is huge, only the ants and insects are placed, the gold beads in the upper container are slippery and leaking from the mouth, and they are at the entrance of the lower dish, and the gold beads are leaking in a flash, and the gold beads are leaking in a flash, and the gold beads are leaking all the time, and the upper and lower containers are rotated, which is for a while. In this way, the conversion of 12 times is a day, and the end is extremely mysterious.

I only heard the sound of bamboo banging in the corridor, "tuk tuk" and "dong dong", which was originally the husband in the palace who came to tell the time. Listening to this frequency is very urgent, it is a rhythm of "urging", when it is already two o'clock. Mei Yuanchen turned over, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and went to pretend to be dressed.

Last night, Xia Muchao set up a family banquet for the 14 families of Meifu in Yuqiong Lang Garden, and the banquet was full of some daily side dishes, which were cooked deliciously and extremely exquisite. All the servants have been in the Mei Mansion for a long time, and they should be counted as ten years, and the master and servant have gotten along well for many years, and they have a deep friendship with each other. At the banquet, Mei Siyuan thanked everyone for their hard work, and couldn't help but toast frequently, and it was so lively for everyone to eat and drink!

After the banquet was dispersed, the maid of the palace led everyone back to their bed. The car and horses were bumpy all the way, and after some unbridled eating and drinking, everyone had heavy eyelids and surging sleep, and they fell asleep in a moment.

After listening to the sound, Mei Yuanchen dressed up, washed up, and sat down at the bronze mirror to tie her hair. Looking at the bronze mirror, there is a handsome little brother: his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are clear, his nose is high and his lips are thin, and fine hairs grow from his mouth. Mei Yuanchen tied the hairband in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself several times, and smirked, "It's quite handsome!" After a while, he walked to the living room and looked for his father.

I saw my father and mother sitting on the left and right of the tea table, talking softly. Mei Yuanchen called from afar, "Daddy", "Mother", approached the seat next to his father and sat down, and changed his voice again, "Daddy". Mei Siyuan stretched out his palm, touched the child's head, looked loving, and reprimanded softly, "What are you doing with such a sweet name?" Your mother told me a long time ago, but you don't like to practice martial arts at home, and you will take the school exam in a while, see how you stay?"

When Mei Yuanchen heard this, he was overjoyed, but his face was bitter, and he was busy making grievances, and said, "How can the child not like it, every day he has practiced for half an hour according to his father's explanation." How can the talent be extremely poor, the difference is extreme, and the results of the practice are not good. After speaking, he thought to himself: As my mother said, I know that I am a martial arts school, but my father is not very angry, he must love me very much, and he must do his best in the future to grow that fist and foot kung fu, don't let my father and mother be sad and disappointed.

Mei Siyuan shook his head lightly, and said earnestly, "Silly boy, if you want to practice your fists and feet, you are forced to do so? This world is not quite peaceful, and if you don't have your fists and feet, how can your father and mother rest assured of you? If you meet a villain, how can you protect yourself with your unrestrained body? When others beat you, you can't dodge, others chase you, you can't escape, at that time, it is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual, see what you should do!"

Mei Yuanchen's face was ashamed, and he replied, "Yes, the child remembers, in the future, he will practice martial arts with Grandpa Kite, practice for an extra hour every day, and dare not be lazy." ”

Mei Siyuan was quite relieved, only to hear him say again, "Your grandfather is a rare person in the world, you have to learn everything, who can hurt you in Dahua? Before, you were just resisting in your heart, could it be that your talent was not good? After years of practicing some fists and feet, you have only learned the layman's style, how can you appreciate the great righteousness of martial arts! If you practice and learn with your heart in the future, you will be of infinite use. After Mei Yuanchen heard this, he agreed to everything.

The breakfast of the rich family, usually eat some meat soup, drink some tea, the Mei family of three has used tea soup, and they want to visit the jaw king.

Mei Si was very familiar with the communication in the palace, and he took his wife and children through it, and there were no guards to stop him all the way. After about five snaps of their fingers, the three of them went to the main courtyard of the palace, and the family stood in front of the courtyard gate and waited, without letting the doorman report. Mei Yuanchen also knew the stakes, and at this time he was also standing honestly and silently.

Without tea, a sound of footsteps came faintly from the courtyard, and I only heard a strange and sharp old man's voice say, "Lord Wang, it seems that Lord Mei's family is here at the door!"

I didn't hear anyone answer, but I felt that the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer, and after two breaths, I saw a middle-aged man in an orange robe walking over, and an old man in a gray robe hurriedly followed behind him, and the middle-aged man was actually Xia Muchao, the king of the jaw. Xia Mu Chaojing went to the gate of the main courtyard by himself, saw Mei Siyuan and the three of them standing there, and said with a heavy face, "Siyuan, why are you here! Why don't you go in?

Mei Siyuan hurriedly replied, "How can I be divided! I just don't know if the prince has eaten the meal, how can he rush in? And we have just arrived, and we have never waited." "The main courtyard is where the head of the palace lives, and the female dependents of Xia Muchao's family live here, if the female relatives are still sleeping, it is not suitable for others to enter, so Mei Siyuan replied. Dahua is popular, and greeting "whether to have breakfast" is the same as asking "whether the family members have finished sleeping", but it is more tactful. Mei Yuanchen stood aside, waiting for an opportunity to look at Xia Muchao a few times, only to see the man in front of him walking steadily, his face thin and resolute, and a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and arrogant.

Hearing Mei Siyuan's answer, Xia Mu smiled heartily at Fang and said loudly, "I have just finished my morning exercise, Jingru and they are afraid that they are waiting, so there is something to worry about." This is your wife and son, let's go, let's go together!" said and grabbed Mei Siyuan's left arm.

Bai Lisi and Mei Yuanchen already knew that this was His Royal Highness the current emperor's son, and immediately performed the blessing ceremony.

Mei Siyuan's face softened slightly, half of his waist and shoulders, and replied, "Lord Wang, please go and have breakfast, I have already used it, just wait here." ”

When Xia Muchao heard this, he didn't force it, and said to the old man behind him, "That's it, Chu Zhong, you will lead Siyuan and the three of you to Jinghu Park to watch," and said to Mei Siyuan, "In this case, Siyuan, you will take your wife and children to Jinghu Garden for a while." ”

Mei Siyuan bowed and saluted, "As it should be, the prince will please!"

Xia Mu patted Mei Siyuan's left shoulder with his right hand, and then turned around and entered the inner courtyard.

Missing Xia Muchao's figure, the old man Fang Shi smiled and said, "Master Mei, madam, son, please come with me." ”

Although he saw this side of the jaw king, Mei Yuanchen was already respectful and admired him, and he couldn't help but feel close, but he couldn't help but see the careful worry in the corners of his mother's eyes......
