In the garden, the Empress stared at a small white flower not far away in a daze. It seemed that someone had told her that this flower was outstanding. Thinking of the serious look on that person's face at that time, she suddenly laughed. She turned her head and asked Hong Luan: "What did Cheng Ren do?"
"Cheng Ren went to the Ministry of Industry." Hong Luan replied.
The empress nodded slightly, then remembered something, and said to Qingyuan and Hongluan: "Someone will use Yiniao to notify the general of Fuguo to find Lu Qi and Lu Pinghai, and bring the things back. As long as he is willing to exchange, he can say anything he wants. "
"Yes." Hongluan responded quickly and left in a hurry.
…
Jing Tianlu, Tong Zhenye, and Feng Hou took the crystalline particles in the cement and looked at them in the sun. They glowed with all kinds of light. They confirmed that they were not gems, but they looked very similar.
"Mix the gypsum powder and these stones at a ratio of 3:97." Ren Baqian continued to instruct the craftsman of Jingtian Furnace to mix the cement clinker. If there is no problem, it will be cement.
As for the specifics, wait until it is mixed with coarse sand, add water and stir well, and you will know after putting it on overnight.
Everyone brought the cement and coarse sand mixed with gypsum powder, all the way back to the Ministry of Industry, and couldn't wait to find a place in the backyard to pour the cement and coarse sand together in proportion, add water and stir.
Ren Baqian found two stones to use as bricks, and used cement powder in the middle and around them, and waited to see the effect of the adhesion tomorrow.
"Okay, let's come back tomorrow morning to see how it is." Ren Baqian looked at the sky and said, the weather in Dayao is still very hot, it can reach thirty-two or three degrees, making people sweat. One night should be enough.
After returning to the palace, he first went straight to Qingxin Hall to learn calligraphy, and when it was almost dark, he got up and left.
"Hey!" Lin Qiaole yelled when he saw him get up.
"What?" Ren Baqian looked down at her.
Lin Qiaole glanced left and right first, and then asked: "I heard that His Majesty chose you as your husband-in-law?"
Ren Baqian thought for a while, this is the case, should he be counted as a married woman now
"Why?" Lin Qiaole asked with wide eyes.
Ren Baqian spreads his hands, you are really rebellious, it has been a few months, and you just found out today? How closed do you have to be
But on this question, if you ask me, who should I ask? All this happened too fast, the wheel of fate rolled forward, and I was in a state of confusion for a long time.
"You are so ugly and so weak, I can poke you down with a single finger." Lin Qiaole said with a look of disgust: "Why did His Majesty choose you?"
Ren Baqian is black immediately, can we still chat
He stretched out his finger and poked Lin Qiaole's forehead. If he knew the Six Meridians Excalibur, he would definitely be biubiubiu today.
"No wonder you don't have any friends. It's been several months and I only found out now." Ren Baqian said with contempt at the end.
"What is a friend?" Lin Qiaole suddenly asked, "I read it in many books, but what is a friend?"
Ren Baqian looked at the little girl's appearance, and suddenly couldn't bear to see her as well. In the final analysis, he is a "child" who grew up here, eats and sleeps every day, and lives until the age of seventeen or eighteen.
The chance of her being able to make friends is less than buying a lottery ticket, and it's about the same as the chance of a meteorite hitting her head.
"A daughter-in-law is like siblings, and friends are like clothes. Having no friends is equivalent to running around without clothes." Ren Baqian thought for a while, and said sincerely.
Lin Qiaole looked at Ren Baqian, pondered for a long time and came up with some taste, with a look of disdain: "Pervert."
"So if there is a chance, I still want to make two friends." Ren Baqian said.
After he left, Lin Qiaole was in a daze. She had seen the word friend many times, but she never knew what a friend was like.
Ren Baqian went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the dinner was already served, the empress didn't move, she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian saluted.
"Oh." The empress came back to her senses: "How is the matter in the Ministry of Industry today?"
There are only a few things that Ren Baqian can do when he goes to the Ministry of Industry, they are all very important to Dayao, and the Empress also wants to know how it is going.
In fact, if she wanted to, she could ask the Ministry of Industry to report, but she would rather let Baqian talk, after all, he knows this thing better.
"I don't know the effect yet, we will know tomorrow." Ren Baqian said. "If it succeeds, Dayao will be able to build some taller buildings, and if you want to build a city wall, you don't need to dig stones from far away to cut and transport them. What you want to do can save most of the labor. .”
The empress nodded: "Tell me the situation when the time comes."
"Let's have dinner with me." The Empress said, straightening her body from the couch.
Ren Baqian always felt that she was waiting for him, pouring wine for the empress with a smile on his face.
After dinner, Ren Baqian asked curiously, "Does Your Majesty not need to practice?"
He has been curious about this question for a long time.
The other ancient people he saw were polishing their bodies every day, but he had never seen the empress do these things.
It stands to reason that she has reached this level of strength at this age, besides her talent, she should be a hundred times more diligent than others, right
But what Ren Baqian saw, let alone a hundred times, probably not even one percent.
The empress shook her head slightly: "I am practicing all the time."
Ren Baqian didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions, he seemed to understand but didn't understand: "It's just that walking is practicing exercises, eating is practicing exercises, sleeping is practicing exercises, walking, sitting and lying are all practicing exercises, right?"
The empress shook her head, and explained a few words: "It's walking, sitting, and lying down. The people you see are doing exercises in Sifangtian and Haohuatian. They use their bodies as heaven and earth to exercise their bodies. But the Supreme Heaven has already mastered the heaven and the earth. Naturally, you don’t have to suffer as much as they do.”
Ren Baqian understood this.
But no matter how specific it was, even if the empress said it, he wouldn't understand it, so he simply didn't ask.
"Your Majesty, do you want to play backgammon?" Ren Baqian suddenly remembered and asked.
The Empress didn't even look at him when she heard this. She lost the slightest interest in chess after losing last time.
I don't know what I was thinking, but suddenly I looked up at Ren Baqian again: "Since you are so free, you sang that song for me last time."
Ren Baqian spat out a mouthful of old blood, the empress still remembers this? With an extremely tangled face: "Your Majesty, let me bring the erhu back next time and give you a majestic look."
"Alright. But you have to remember, if you forget, I've heard a word that is prepared for this, called the crime of deceiving the emperor." The empress Youyou said.
Ren Baqian almost fell to his knees when he heard this, isn't this what he learned from watching Qing Palace Opera last time? Sure enough, she shouldn't be allowed to watch those messy things.
"Your Majesty..." Ren Baqian looked up at the Empress's face: "How could I forget what I promised you?"
It wasn't until Ren Baqian left that the empress showed a smile on her face. She picked up the wine glass and poured it into her mouth, inexplicably thinking of a sentence from the movie a few days ago: "The more you drink the wine, the warmer it gets, and the more you drink it, the colder it gets."
Now her heart is warm.
I take this sentence seriously.
