In early September, Cui Xie sent Liu Zhuangtou to give gifts to little Cui Xie's foreign family, and he packed up some paper and ink and sent it to Senator Cui in Yunnan. The rest was to repair the waterwheel.

He could pay for the money here, but he couldn't go to the Zhuangzi to watch, so he had to ask the Zhuangzi on both sides to send a construction progress report every five days, accurate to the amount of wood and the proportion of construction. Each copy is signed and signed by Zhuangtou, the steward and the craftsman, and handed over to the home for archives, and then Brother Xiaoliang, Brother Xiaoshen and the reliable guys from the old Ju'anzhai shop have nothing to do with random inspections. Procrastination.

The paddy fields on Changping Village are facing the river, and a trolley is built, which uses hydraulic power to stimulate the runner to scoop water day and night for irrigation. There is a dry field on the Jiaxiangtun side. Although it is also facing water, it cannot be directly introduced into the field, so a ox-powered turntable waterwheel is made. When the water is needed, the cows are asked to pull the turntable, and there is a wooden pole similar to a ruler wheel on the side of the turntable.

After all, there were people watching, he just read the report, and he had nothing to take care of in the rest of the time, so he taught his younger brother to endorse by tricks.

In fact, after Cui Heng returned home, he should have been handed over to Mr. Lu for discipline immediately, but he was infected with too many bad things outside - or he was taught by his parents, scolding his brother like eating. Cui Xie thought he was embarrassing, and he was afraid that he would teach He Ge badly, so he simply stayed in the room, just pretending that there was no such person in the family.

If it was left in the past, Mr. Lu would have to find him to ask someone to educate him, but since he saw the beauty of pencils, Lu Juren's mind was on the pencil, and he couldn't remember him.

The three stand for the scholars, the virtues, the merits, and the words. Li De, he knew that he couldn't make it; Li Yan... Although the owner saw a student who opened a bookstore living in his house, it was not difficult to publish a book, but it might not be passed down to future generations; only this pencil is related to education, getting it right After all, it is a kind deed that has been passed down by the world and has been immortalized for centuries. How can he not care about it

He borrowed Cui Xie's notebook and practiced pencil writing hard for a while to become familiar with the characteristics of pencils. Even in the class for Brother He, he not only held the book and shook his head to practice, but took a wooden board and wrote while talking. After he finished speaking, he took it back and copied it.

Seeing that he had learned to teach Dafa with blackboard and chalk without a teacher, Cui Xie specially asked someone to paint a blackboard with ink, and prepared a block of talcum powder for him, and asked him if he wanted to use this instead.

Lu Juren tried to draw the chalk, and felt that it was not as good as the lead core made by burning, so he shook his head: "Although the white clothes do not stain the clothes, the powder surface falls off a lot, and the texture is too soft, not as easy as the hard cocoa of Shi Nie. White characters on a black background don’t look good, but it’s more comfortable to read the ink characters. When people copy scriptures, they are written on magnetic blue paper and gold powder, but they love it because it is precious, but it is not as eye-catching as the black and white characters we are used to.”

Since elementary school, Cui Xie has seen teachers use chalk for teaching. In college, he often uses whiteboard and black pens. Both are quite accustomed to, so no matter what Lu Juren likes to use, he just said, "Listen to sir, then let's take a look at the newly burned graphite. Whether the pen fits together or not, if you want to be thicker and thinner, just tell me, or ask Chief Steward Cui to tell Brother Shen."

Mr. Lu had just learned a hand of pencil writing, and he was fresh. He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I want to teach others to use this. If I don't use the same, how can I teach others." When he developed to the point of volunteer teaching in the countryside, he often went to Ju'anzhai for inspections. Occasionally, when he saw scholars dressed in plain clothes, he would recommend the benefits of pencils to them.

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered: "Have you done the homework left for you last time? The slanted body poems don't talk about flat and flat rhythms. It should be easy to do. Why haven't I seen you hand them in?"

Isn't it because there are so many things at home that I forgot when I was busy for a while

Fortunately, what Lu Juren wanted was not a very strict rhythm poem, and he could make it without scrutiny. Cui Xie thought for a while, then took the pencil and wrote a poem on the spot: "Stone nirvana is produced in the suburbs of Beijing, and the boudoir uses thrush. People at that time emphasized luodai, and Xi know this thing is strange? After going into the kiln, it has been refined and made ten thousand words on paper. Poor family. With this pen, I no longer have to worry about academic funding.”

In any case, regardless of the level and the rhythm, the requirements for confrontation are not strict, and it is not difficult to make a temporary compilation.

Mr. Lu looked at the poem and said with a smile: "If I ask you to make a rhythm, you will write an essay. It's really simple and straightforward. But the neck couplets can be matched, and the whole poem has a rhyme to the end, which is still within the character of the rhythm poem. The ancient style can be more lively. For example, if you use this 'branch rhyme', you can also use the adjacent rhyme 'weiqi rhyme' in your poems, but only the flat tone can be connected, and the upper tone can be connected, but the entering tone must not be with other rhymes Communicating."

He has a whiteboard and a pencil in his hand, and he picks it up and writes the three parts of the flat on it. There are fifteen categories that can be connected with adjacent rhymes, while the incoming sound is classified into eight categories alone, which cannot be connected with the flat.

The ancient style rhymes, the more it goes to the later generations, the wider it is. Only the sound card is strict, but it is the same as the "Ping Shang" three tones in "Zhongyuan Yin Yun". on the contrary.

Cui Xie also took a notebook to jot it down. Mr. Lu stroked his beard and waved at him proudly: "Just listen carefully, go back and copy with my board, don't get distracted while I'm talking."

Of course it was easy not to take notes, and Cui Xie happily put away the pen and paper and listened to the lecture while staring at his board.

After talking about the adjacent rhymes, they talk about changing rhymes. To write an ancient poem, you don't have to rhyme to the end like a rhythm. You can change the rhyme every two sentences. It's just the two sentences that change the rhyme. The first sentence is best to rhyme. If you want to make a few more sentences and then change the rhyme, you can also use four, six, or eight sentences... There are no special restrictions.

But there is no limit, which means that you need to write long, not long enough to even change the rhyme.

Cui Xie has recited many Han and Tang Yuefu, such as "Sleepwalking Tianmu's Farewell", "Shu Dao Difficulty", "Three Officials", "Three Farewells", etc. The characteristics are all in one word, that is, long. In the previous life, when I went to school, I felt it was hard to recite it. After the exam, I wished I could return it to the teacher. Although I recite a lot of ancient texts now, it doesn't show how long and difficult they are, but I have to learn to write them by myself...

Think about it for the best, if he can write an ancient poem that will be passed down to future generations and make those elementary school students recite it painfully, it will be worth his life.

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he rubbed his hands together, looking forward to today's homework.

Mr. Lu just wrote "Sanping Tune" on the wooden board. When he looked back and saw his eyes shining bright and excited, he couldn't help frowning: "I just talked about how to end the sentence, what are you laughing at? gone elsewhere?"

Cui Xie hurriedly shook his head and explained, "Students only struggled with rhyme and confrontation when writing rhythmic poems. Now that they have learned ancient poems with Mr., they feel that their minds are open, and they can't help but be happy."

Mr. Lu rolled his eyes at him slightly: "You can't indulge yourself even if you have learned the ancient style. If you want to be a scholar in the imperial examination, you should make poetry! Besides, the ancient style is not completely unlawful, and there are also ancient poems that do. It’s good to be flat, flat and sticky, but it’s just that the rhythm and the flat rhyme alternate, it’s not as good as a rhythm poem.”

Not all ancient poems were written by the ancients. After the rhythm of self-discipline poetry was settled, some poets wrote ancient poems according to the law, such as Gao Shi, Wang Wei and others who belonged to the School of Law. However, after listening to it, Cui Xie still thinks that the ancient poems that do not follow the rhythm are the best, simple and easy to write, not as anti-human as the rhythm and antithesis of rhythm poems.

Lu Juren was willing to ask him to write stubborn sentences, but naturally he was not the type of poet who wrote ancient styles and strictly adhered to the discipline. When he was doing homework, he still leniently kept the ancient styles that were not disciplined, and asked him to expand the pen into a long chapter.

Cui Xie could see his will to push the pencil, so he turned around and asked Xiao Shen to burn some solid lead with the thickness of chalk, and then found someone to hit a pencil sharpener with a steel blade, and asked Xiao Songyan to send it to Lu sir.

Mr. Lu was busy designing a new teaching method, and he couldn't care to ask him for homework for a while. Cui Xie was lazy, and transferred the learning pressure to Cui Heng, the unfortunate child.

No matter how busy or tired he was in his studies, when he asked the questions, as long as he thought of the miserable situation when Cui Heng was doing the questions, he felt more balanced.

There are seventy-three chapters in "The Imperial Order", eighty-five sequels, three forty-two chapters, and thirty-two chapters in "The Great Ruler of Wuchen". It is not a problem to produce a paper several zhang high. Even without taking the "Law of the Great Ming", Cui Heng couldn't get out of the house for half a step, and he became more honest day by day.

If he is honest, Cui Xie will have time to do his own thing.

The packaging of the first batch of flower water was ready. Before it went on the market, he took out the bottle that Gao Su had tied with a red string, and put it in a box padded with soft silk. The type of production is sent to the restaurant opened by his family.

These days, Gao Su has become popular because of Qiu Xiban's popularity. He goes to the noble family to drink, and helps people give pointers on how to set up the stage. He doesn't even remember his adoptive father scolding him for eyeliner.

As soon as he received these bottles of flower water, he remembered that he and the Cui family still had this old relationship, and he was overjoyed: "I almost forgot about this, Cui Jiansheng is really a sincere gentleman, Remember me! Eh, the picture on this box is still the most beautiful of the Three Kingdoms, but it doesn't match our heroic prodigal son."

The little servant who brought the things in half bowed and said with a smile, "It's not that my husband and grandfather will look at people. The person who sent the fragrance dew from the Cui family said that the rouge shop has never sold this product, and it's just waiting for the adults to finish tasting it. Only dare to take out."

Haven't sold it yet

good good! It's finally his turn to lead the current trend, the day that makes people envious!

What's the use of dressing well, what's the use of thin waist, and there is no book about a handsome man with a thin waist. Wasn't the most famous beautiful man in the Three Kingdoms the fragrant Xun Ling? If he left a jasmine incense in this big winter, how many people would envy him

The servant asked again, "When the shopkeeper Lin brought the fragrance dew, he said that the fragrance dew from Jinrongtang can also be mixed with water. Would you like to try it?"

Forget it, no one has ever drank jasmine water, and he has also drank a lot of rose dew from abroad, but after drinking it, it doesn't produce fragrance all over his body, so it's better to smear it on his body.

Gao Su picked up the bottle of pure dew that he had tied with a red thread, lowered his head and sniffed it. The floral fragrance was pure, but light. But when the fragrance is applied, is it better to go to someone else's house to listen to the show, or to go to the Beizhen Fusi and Weisuo to change it

After thinking about it, I finally felt that Xie Ying was in the limelight by wearing new clothes. If she got the new fragrance, she would run to the guards, a little deliberately showing off. It's better to sit in other places and wait for the flower dew in Jinrongtang to be officially sold. The people outside buy it and put it on, and tell the person who recognizes him to smell it and say, "This is not the first time Gaobaihu used it. the fragrance?”…

Wouldn't this be better than going to someone with a scent to tell others that he had a new flower dew

He made up his mind, and immediately asked people to bring the invitations that invited him to the play, and he stopped picking and choosing, and anyone who did not conflict with the time was willing to participate. In particular, those families who also have children who shadow Jin Yiwei are even more willing to get close. Not only commenting while watching the play, but also walking around the stage in person before the actual play, instructing them how to install the veil, put out cigarettes, and create the effect of a cloud of smoke.

When looking at the cigarettes, I have to be shy, thinking that the incense of other people's stoves is too vulgar, it is better to combine the fragrance of potpourri, apricot, gardenia... jasmine fragrance Qingyuan.

He roamed the theatres in the capital, spreading the theory that his floral fragrance was more elegant and elegant than all vulgar fragrances. He always had a faint scent of jasmine on his body, and people would follow this tone to praise him for his knowledge of incense and the ability to use incense. This clean air was much more elegant than any Shen Tan Su He.

He also has to be reserved, and he can't "inadvertently" say that he uses flower dew, and he can't just take out the bottle and show it to others. The bottle shows off.

Showing off like this is really not as fun as wearing clothes, but you have to endure it for a while, until the flower water of Jinrongtang goes on sale!

He endured it for a few days, and was in a hurry to send someone to urge their family to sell water, only then did he expect his Xiao Qiao Xianglu to be officially sold.

On the day of the listing, the little half of the capital smelled of fragrant dew. Before the name of Jinrongtang Jasmine Pure Dew was typed out, it was disliked by the people who bought it and changed it privately—

The fragrance dew endorsed by the first beauty of the Three Kingdoms is naturally the first fragrance of the Three Kingdoms, abbreviated as abbreviation, and the word "Three Kingdoms" can also be removed, and it is directly called "the first fragrance".

Gao Su finally waited for this day, chose a day to pack the Qiu Xi class, let them dress up in the Three Kingdoms opera, and invited the acquaintances and friends who had been instructed by wearing perfume to come to the house to cheer, and "by the way" also invited Zhu Yanshi and Xin. Li Yanshi, who took office, two Zhenfu and Qianhu from the Fourteenth Institute... Although not all of them came, seven or eight came.

Most of the people have heard that he smells good jasmine. When he entered the door, except for a few older ones, he was still incense sticks, and the rest were all smeared with jasmine water. In the early winter days, his yard followed him. Summer like.

Everyone smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but boast that the owner was at the forefront of fashion and was the first to apply anti-seasonal flowers, and they led them to catch up with this trend.

Gao Baihu listened to their words of praise, so beautiful that he couldn't help himself. He greeted the guests one by one, walked to Xie Ying, and cupped his hands a little higher, so that the aroma in his sleeves would be more concentrated.

Xie Ying also bowed his hands in return, praising the good smell of the flower dew he sprinkled, and it was the first to use it, leading the fashion of Beijing. He was wearing narrow sleeves, and when he returned the salute, there was somehow a faint fragrance, but it was not the jasmine fragrance that filled the courtyard, but a light but very unique floral fragrance.

It is gardenia.

It is not surprising to wear gardenias in summer. In this winter, everyone else sprinkles the fragrance of jasmine. How did he save the fragrance of gardenias

Could it be the fragrance that Cui Xianggong's family made for him

He couldn't help pulling Xie Ying over and asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Xie sprinkled with dew, or is he wearing a sachet? It's rare to smell gardenia in this weather."

Xie Ying smiled peacefully: "I don't like incense, but I usually use Jinrongtang's fragrant soap to wash and bathe. His family did not succeed in steaming gardenia water, and there are many dried flowers left. I only made a gardenia-flavored soap once. There were not many, so I took them all at the time."

Miscalculated!

When he was still complacent that he was the first person to use fragrance lotion, Xie Ying had already used the gardenia soap that he had nowhere to buy for a few months! If I had known that he would have packed all the fragrances in his house at that time, what would he be showing off so early! Let everyone know what the "first fragrance" flower dew is for

Gao Su's flamboyant heart dropped half of it with a "swoosh", and the other half only picked it up when he saw the fashionable tight-fitting and straightening of the whole courtyard—

Just by looking at the clothes, you can tell that something is in fashion, and sooner or later, it will be sold all over the street. At least he still has the title of "the first person" to use this "first fragrance", and he is not inferior to Xie Qianhu's two new clothes.
