"Madam, the young master has spoken to you. He asked you to learn slowly, don't be anxious."
Han family courtyard.
After Xiao Xi finished translating the telegraph code, she ran to the side and said to Han Yuxi who was reading the "Telegraph User Manual".
"Xiao Xi~, I'm not married yet, so don't yell!"
Although Han Yuxi was happy in her heart, she was a little embarrassed on her face.
"Hehe, sister Yuxi will be Laner's sister-in-law in a while! It doesn't matter if you scream now~!"
Lan'er walked up behind Xiao Xi and said with a smile.
"Lan'er~! You're talking nonsense too!"
"Hehe, no! Xiaoxi, can you send me a telegram? I also want to talk to my brother!"
Lan'er only found out today that Li Zexuan had invented such a fun thing recently. The magic of the telegraph machine has surpassed her understanding of the world. The little girl now likes this efficient and fast communication method very much. .
However, she saw Xiao Xi's operation just now but didn't learn it, so she said this.
"Okay! What do you want to say to the young master? Xiaoxi will help you!"
Xiao Xi smiled lightly.
"Hey, let's talk about it later!"
Lan'er took Xiao Xi back to the telegraph machine and started chatting with Li Zexuan.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
On the other side, Li Zexuan waited for a long time, but no telegram was sent over there. He couldn't help but wonder, could the battery be dead? It shouldn’t be! Only two telegrams were sent and received.
"Dee~dee~~dee!"
At this moment, the telegraph machine finally rang again. Li Zexuan was refreshed and began to record the telegram. This time the telegram was shorter. Li Zexuan translated it quickly after writing it. However, when he saw the translation result, he was speechless for a moment.
"Hehe, guess who I am?"
Is there any need to guess? Who else besides Lan'er, a naughty little boy, could talk to him in this tone
Suddenly his heart moved, and he replied narrowly: "Ah! Is this the silly girl from the blacksmith's family in the east of the city? Why do you know how to use a telegraph machine?"
"Puch!"
Han's courtyard, Han Yuxi's boudoir.
Xiao Xi looked at the telegram she had just received and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Xi, what did my brother say? Did you guess it was me?"
Lan'er was not as tall as Xiao Xi. She put her feet up and raised her head, but she couldn't see the contents of the note in Xiao Xi's hand, so she could only ask anxiously.
"Miss, you'd better see for yourself!"
Xiao Xi suppressed her smile and handed the translated telegram into Lan'er's hand.
Lan'er couldn't wait to take it and take a look. After a moment, she smiled and turned red with anger.
"Humph, stinky brother, he must have done it on purpose!"
Lan'er stamped her feet, crumpled the paper ball in her hand, and threw it out.
"Xiao Xi, help me send another telegram to my brother!"
"Okay, miss!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
"Didi~didi~~didi!"
Li Zexuan didn't wait for a while when the telegraph machine rang again.
Lan'er: "Bah! Stinky brother, you are the stupid girl!"
Haha, this little girl!
Li Zexuan smiled and shook his head. He suddenly felt that chatting like this was quite interesting.
"Oh~! It turns out to be Lan'er! Lan'er, can you use a telegraph machine so soon?"
Li Zexuan replied with a "sudden realization".
Lan'er: "Huh, brother, you still want to lie to me. You clearly did it on purpose just now! Also, this is Xiaoxi sending a telegram for me again. Lan'er doesn't know how to use this thing yet!"
Li Zexuan: "Haha~!"
Lan'er: "Brother, Lan'er also wants a telegraph machine in the room."
Li Zexuan: "What do you need a telegraph machine for? Who should you send it to?"
Li Zexuan asked strangely.
Lan'er: "Send it to my brother! Lan'er found that it's so interesting to talk like this!"
Li Zexuan: "... ... ... ... ..."
He was also drunk. The backyard where Lan'er lived was only a few hundred meters away from his west courtyard. Did he really need a telegraph machine
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Afternoon.
Lan'er, Xiao Xi and their group are finally back.
After the Han family saw the magic of the telegraph machine, Lan'er came back crying and asking for another telegraph machine from Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan is helpless. He really has no time or energy to build another telegraph machine now! Tomorrow he will return to the Imperial College. Alas, now that he thinks about it, the position of the Imperial College is really a kind of constraint. Li Zexuan plans to find an opportunity to resign from Li Er in the future and "retire and return to his hometown", while only retaining a title.
After promising countless benefits, Li Zexuan finally got rid of Lan'er's annoying little tail. He called Xiao Xi and asked, "How are you doing with the Yuxi telegraph machine?"
Xiao Xi replied: "Well, the young lady can basically use it, but she is not familiar with it yet. She said she will contact you when she is familiar with it. Don't worry, young master!"
"Ahem, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry!"
Li Zexuan touched his nose awkwardly and said.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
In the evening, Li Zexuan had dinner and returned to the room early, waiting for a message from Han Yuxi.
At this time, he discovered that the telegraph machine had a very obvious flaw, that is, it could not record the received telegrams by itself. It required someone to be by its side twelve hours a day. Otherwise, he would not even know if the telegram was missed.
In fact, early wired telegraph machines had devices for automatically recording telegraph codes. It mainly uses the electromagnet inside the ticker to drive the pen on the iron piece to mark the paper tape. The time period is recorded as a point, and the long time is recorded as a line.
Li Zexuan couldn't help but have some ideas. Should he add such a device to automatically record telegraph codes in his wireless telegraph machine? But in this way, the telegraph machine will consume a lot of electricity!
"Eh~? Why hasn't sister Yuxi sent a telegram yet? Do you have to be very familiar with it before you send it? Do you want to be so professional?"
Li Zexuan thought wildly for a while, then looked at the time and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Didi~didi~didi!"
Just when he was getting impatient, the telegraph finally rang. In fact, what Li Zexuan just guessed was indeed correct. Han Yuxi had been familiar with the operation of the telegraph machine over and over again. She translated everything she might say next into telegraph codes, and then she sent it with some anxiety. The first telegram in her life.
"Master, are you asleep?"
Li Zexuan smiled and replied: "No! Yu Xi, we are going to get married soon, why do you still call me young master!"
Han Yuxi: "What do you call me?"
Li Zexuan: "Husband?"
Han Yuxi: "Ah! This can't be done! Yuxi can't call her that now."
Li Zexuan: "Then just like everyone else, just call me brother Xiaoxuan. Calling me young master seems too unfamiliar!"
Han Yuxi: "Okay! Brother Xiaoxuan!"
Li Ze It’s a violation of etiquette!”
It turns out that this magical iron box was specially made for me!
Han Yuxi felt a little sweet in her heart and said: "Well, this telegraph machine is very good, Yu Xi likes it very much!"
