My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Xu Tianxin was a little distracted, because the family members in the live broadcast room were scrolling. Your name is Tian Xin'er, his name is Yi Hai'er, and you both have voices.Wow, isn't this a coincidence? This isn't it (Yue Yunpeng version).

The background music also randomly switched to: "My name is Chang'an, and you are called hometown. The world laughs and says that Chang'an returns to hometown..."

What a mess, what kind of live broadcast room is this?

Xu Tianxin saluted and said with a smile: "I have long admired the name of the young master, and I would like to thank you for sending a handwritten letter to Xiangshan. I am so happy to receive the letter from my classmates, and it is as if I have met each other. Only then can I be cared for and buy a lot of flowers and plants at low prices. I am very grateful."

"It's not worth the effort."

Bai Muyan replied while putting the fork supporting the window back into place.With a smile in his eyes, Cai Cai invited Xu Tianxin and said, "Miss Xu, do you have some free time at the moment? Can you lend me a moment to talk?"

The girls working in the house held their breath again: "..." They thought: She has no time, she is very busy, and she is also very tired. These were the original words of their girl Xu.

Unlike the people in the village who described being busy as tired as a bastard, they remembered the original sentence and thought it sounded funny, and planned to use it in the future.

Xu Tianxin surprised everyone, nodded and smiled: "Just in time."

Mai Miao's eyes widened: Is this a yes? !

Xu Tianxin can't always jump out of the window.

When she turned around and walked out, Bai Muyan also left the window and took a few steps forward, deliberately turning his back to wait outside the door, waiting for Xu Tianxin's arrival.

The twenty working girls in the room thought to themselves: This is called not even giving them a look, it is so cruel.

However, even if there are no unnecessary glances, it does not affect their enthusiasm for discussing:

"let me see."

"Let me listen."

"Hey? Didn't Bai Xiucai say that it takes a little effort with a raise of hands? Why do you still ask for help? What exactly does it mean with a little effort of a raise of hands? I plan to memorize it and use it in the future. Don't use it wrong again."

"I'm just doing you a favor. It's as simple as raising my hand. Insignificant means that I don't need to say thank you all the time. You understood me correctly."

"What about borrowing a step to speak? It's obviously just one step, but Tian Xin has taken so many steps. Should he say one sentence or a few?"

"Can you say something? I heard from my mother that my fourth aunt's cousin, who I often tell you is the best-married girl in the village, met her cousin-in-law. One step of speaking, one borrowing, and so many years have passed. I guess Bai Xiucai will also be asking for a little longer, otherwise he will not be able to return to his original purpose without saying more. "

When Hong Zao heard this, he quickly stopped watching the excitement.

She knew that Xu Tianxin was distilling sweet-scented osmanthus right now. What came out of the distillation was oil, and what was distilled below was flower dew.Among the twenty girls aged fourteen or fifteen, only Hongzao follows Xu Tianxin and can occasionally take over the tasks that Xu Tianxin has not completed.It comes from the fact that red dates are the most careful and skillful people, and they are also quite talented in handling flowers and plants.

Before Hong Zao went to work, he also suggested to everyone: "Hurry up and get down to business. The pollen grinders can sit by the window and watch slowly."

Mai Miao is the one who grinds pollen, so she complains in her heart while eating melon, no matter what her mood is, it does not affect her work.

Mai Miao was worried about Xu Tianxin. He would go out as soon as he was called. He just said he was free when he didn't have time. Was this because he was tempted?
It's too easy to change your mind.

Mai Miao really wants to ask:

Tian Xin, have you forgotten how you praised Liu Jingdong?
You said that he has a big body and is strong, and you explained it in detail (being strong means he can work, and he can help cultivate grandma's fields), and his face is red and black and bright (he is healthy, and he will not die soon), The Liu family has a house and a car (brother Jing owns an ox-cart, so he doesn't have to carry a small bag on his wedding day. It is a woman's highlight moment and she must ride in an ox-cart). Marrying him has been a smooth life.

Tsk tsk, at that time Mai Miao felt that Xu Tianxin was extremely smart, clear-minded, and such a down-to-earth little sister.

But no, as long as they don't go astray, the road ahead of Tian Xinmai and Liu Jingdong will be flat.

So Mai Miao is praying in her heart:

Tian Xin, you must not keep an eye on that white scholar.

I'm really afraid that with your current wealth, it won't be difficult to marry him if you make good use of it.

But don't forget that he has to take the imperial examination. He travels for half a year every year. I heard that if he passes the examination, he will be arrested by others.He looks so good again, he looks like a city dweller in his dress, and his walking demeanor, so you and he have to worry a lot.Please wake up.

Liu Jingdong from the urban-rural union is not easy to manage. With your grandma here, the whole family will not dare to bully you. She can control the Liu family to death.

If Mai Miao has another selfish motive, that is, she wants to be little sisters with Xu Tianxin for the rest of her life. If she and Bai Xiucai really see eye to eye, it will be inconvenient for her to chat with Tian Xin in the future.

Isn't that right? Because of this, Mai Miao regretted that she had invited Xu Tianxin because of her blindness.

He sat on the window sill again, grinding pollen, and looked into the distance with some disgust and muttered: "What are you talking about? You look at each other and I smile, and I look at you smiling, and you have to bow and walk around, too much trouble."

Yes, what a hassle. Bai Muyan felt the same way when Xu Tianxin called him Young Master again.

He deliberately stopped to correct Xu Tianxin's statement and said with a smile:

"We were both born in a farming family and grew up in the countryside. My ancestors in the Bai family have been farmers for eighteen generations, and there is good evidence.

It's just that when I came here, God showed mercy, and it was because of my mother's love and my father's kindness that I was able to write essays.But in fact, I am just a country boy, so let’s not call him a boy or a girl.

Can I call you Tian Xin'er?

There are many brothers in my family, and we live in the eldest house and are the fourth brother. You can also call me brother Sihai. "

Fourth brother?

"Should we call him Uncle Sihai?" Xu Tianxin looked like a friendly reminder, otherwise the seniority would be confused.

Bai Xiucai paused. He rarely made such mistakes, but for some reason he just wanted to be an older brother and sister: "Why don't we just let the mistakes go and let's just discuss them?"

Xu Tianxin felt that she should not be pedantic, mainly because this idea was very popular with her.

She also didn't want to call a [-] or [-]-year-old boy uncle.

No matter where she goes, it's all her uncles and uncles. The few at home only call her uncles when they really have no choice.

And even if the time difference spans a thousand years, she is still the older sister of the one in front of her.

But Xu Tianxin doesn't want people to say that her tutoring is not good.Say she can do it, don’t talk about her grandma.Still worried:

"To be honest, I even learned the Wanfu Li this time when I went to the city with my grandma. When I went to the restaurant, all the guests were distinguished guests, and I learned it after seeing women of my age doing this action. After all, it is rare in the countryside. , and no one has taught me carefully. Therefore, because I have no experience to refer to, please bear with me if there are some unsatisfactory aspects in getting along with me."

"in this way."

Bai Muyan looked at it with a smile and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tian Xin'er?" He changed his words first.

Xu Tianxin smiled and called, "Brother Sihai."

From then on, the two of them started talking casually.

Bai Xiucai just heard Xu Tianxin mention that there was no one to learn etiquette from in the countryside. He was very sincere and did not hide his clumsiness. He smiled and told Xu Tianxin that he was the same.

And to this day, he still does this when he goes out.

Coming from a country boy, it is inevitable that he has little experience and is young, and there are many tricks of the literati. He told Xu Tianxin that he could not even taste tea.

"Isn't there any teaching in the academy?"

"It's involved, but I don't have so much energy to focus on that. Being able to be a scholar depends on hard work and deficiencies." He knew more clearly what he wanted urgently and what was tested in the imperial examination.

Fortunately, he still has a set of theories to comfort himself, so that even though he does not understand the skills of those young masters of the Zhongming Dingshi House, he is not always embarrassed, but he can still sit comfortably in any situation without feeling inferior.

Bai Muyan and Xu Tianxin shared their innermost thoughts that they had never told anyone.The theory is that, in his opinion, some things are like a person's fatness and thinness, which are adjustable.

For example, etiquette is not needed in the countryside for the time being, so there is no need to learn it in a hurry.When you need to use it one day, then learn it.It is controllable, and it is not a given that only some people in this life are qualified to do that, and the rest cannot and cannot learn it.

As for a person's character, his ability to settle down and make a living, to put it bluntly, his imperial examination achievements are like a person's height. That doesn't mean you can get taller if you get taller. This is the most important thing.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that I only focus on the most important things. If I don't know anything else, I won't let it go. I just don't feel inferior. When asked about it, I will say that I will learn slowly when I go back."

This explanation made Xu Tianxin happy, but this man was not stubborn.

We can also see Bai Xiucai's character from this point.

How many people care more about the less they have, and even after they become successful, they love to express the part they lacked most and want to show others that they are particularly good in this aspect.It seems that only in this way can the "black history" of the past be covered up.

But Bai Xiucai faced these head-on.

I have to say that no matter how good or bad the book is, if a person is not wandering, his character is very rare.

If Xu Tianxin had to tell her truth, there was actually one person in her village who was still alive, and that was Liu Jingdong, but she said that it was because she was not smart enough.

What do you want Liu Jingdong to do at this time?

Xu Tianxin shook Liu Jingdong out of her mind and led her newly recognized brother Sihai to the water clock with a smile.

She understands, that's why she came here.

Otherwise, what can I do if I borrow a step from her?

Bai Muyan really had to ask Xu Tianxin for advice, because he had tried to study it himself but didn't understand it.I asked others and they didn’t know.

Among these others was the trembling old Zhaitou who was responsible for guarding the clock.

Bai Muyan remembered that, if there was no misunderstanding, when he asked a question, Lao Zhai looked at him like he was a fool.

Old Zhaitou also asked him: "Do you know what it means to be the lowest person in the village?"

Oh, you can't feel it.

Give an example:

For example, there is a meeting in the village, and people from outside ask, where are the people in your village? They are having a meeting.

Lao Zhaitou said, well, he is the one who said this.

Also, ever since the convener took office, the convener has been Tian Xin. She has a lot of things to do and often arranges work for everyone.But in the past few months, the convener only said three things to him: beat the gong; beat the gong more; beat the gong louder.

Old Zhaitou said, well, he is the one who beats the gong.

So when Li Zheng asked the convenor that day that there was a shortage of someone to change the water clock in the new house, he said: Got it.

Old Zhaitou said that he was not even qualified to stay at the new house as a janitor. He was not qualified to do so. He could only help Tian Xin change the water in the clock, and sit beside him to pick up wild boar hairs for the brush-making team.

With such a low-level status, Mr. Xiucai, you actually asked me what the function of something like a funnel was. What did you think?

"Grandpa Zhai, it's cold outside and you can go inside and pick pig hair. If you feel sleepy, take a nap. Don't be in a hurry to change the water. You see, the needle will not be changed until it reaches here every time. The next water change will take three hours. ."

Lao Zhai looked at Xu Tianxin and Bai Muyan who were walking together. He smiled and promised Tianxin a good time, and said: "You are here this time. Please tell Mr. Xiucai a good talk. He was squatting here for half an hour just now." I don’t understand either.”

He muttered again that he must be a young man with strong legs and able to squat. He didn't do any serious work and just squatted and watched.

Bai Muyan: "..."

That's why he likes the country, the truth.

In the eyes of older people, regardless of whether you are a scholar or a scholar, you can either work or read. If you don't do both, it means you are playing.

Bai Muyan looked specifically to see if Xu Tianxin was smiling at him, but found that Xu Tianxin had already started speaking:

"This is called a butterfly screw, this is a cone valve, equipped with a rack and a float... This is called a hole speed frame, which is pressed into the hole speed wheel, and the cone-shaped barrel is inserted into the crossbar groove."

There is no silicone tube here. Xu Tianxin used a bamboo tube instead. She pointed at the bamboo tube and told:
"Put it into the conical cylinder, and finally install the time plate and hands, and it's done. Oh, my plate has more than twelve hours, and the engraving is a bit complicated. I have a business, and I have to make saponins regularly. Look, it’s divided a little bit finely.”

This water clock by Xu Tianxin is more like a modern clock division, because she draws one frame every five minutes, unlike the sundial here that only has Zichou, Yinmao and so on.

After Xu Tianxin finished speaking, she realized that Bai Muyan had been looking at her.

She touched her face: "What's wrong?"

"Tian Xin'er, if you don't hide your secrets from me anymore, you won't be afraid that I will understand."

Xu Tianxin shook his head and said with a smile: "Light and shadow, hourglass, fire clock, incense drain, candle watch, including the principle of water dripper, are not developed by me. They are all generations of capable craftsmen who choose one thing to spend their whole lives. Jo Chiat Only by learning and polishing can future generations make improvements again and again. I am just picking up the wisdom of others. Besides, there has been a drip leak for a long time. I saw it in Fucheng and was inspired by it. And what I do cannot be called an improvement. It can only be called a simplified and reduced version.”

Her second uncle didn't have time to make little wooden figures for her, so he played the drum every hour.

It was really hard for her to ask her grandma for money to invest in water clock parts. After all, as long as she could tell the time, she couldn't do it for all four eyes and make the family's small amount of money even worse.

Bai Muyan once again looked sideways at Xu Tianxin with a look that Xu Tianxin couldn't understand.

He had also seen the water dripping on the instrument platform in Fucheng. It was there in plain sight, but there was only one of them, and it was still a huge thing.

He hasn't gone to the capital to take the exam yet, so he doesn't know if any of the big families in the capital have such a smaller version.

Presumably there is.

But Bai Muyan asked himself, if he had a talent in this area and developed it, would he tell others casually?And he is not complacent, but humble.

This sister has really good character.

But, sister, do you know what this means?Even if it is just picking up people's wisdom, it is also a business opportunity.

You know, what are you talking about if you waste time not distilling?

Xu Tianxin and Bai Muyan thought of going together. Before he reminded her, she suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Brother Sihai, I wonder if you have ever seen this kind of thing in the homes of your classmates who are from relatively well-off families? What if I can make a small , more sophisticated ones, do you think they will buy them?”

Literary people should be punctual.

It’s so difficult because I don’t have time. I want to write a love poem and miss you at night, but I don’t know when you are there, how embarrassing it is.

And what she said to her grandma that she would make money back was never a joke.

When he heard Bai Xiucai's words of borrowing a step, Xu Tianxin had an idea and knew that he didn't have to wait for the discerning people in the caravan to find out.

Xu Tianxin was afraid that Bai Muyan would not give his best, so he said specifically: "I also want to buy books and read more. Brother Sihai, wouldn't it be nice for us to earn some money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones together?"

You introduce customers, and I'll do the production.

At the same time, Mai Miao sat on the window sill and let out a disgusted sigh. What were they talking about? She was so excited.

Mai Miao could never have imagined that the two of them had never talked about their personal relationship, not even an ambiguous atmosphere. They could have done it to pieces when Xu Tianxin was talking about making money.
