Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 191 The Jin family adds "Ding" (one more)
The last day of the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan was a ten-day holiday, and the students of the Guozijian had another ten-day holiday happily, because the Spring Festival was coming, and the Guozijian had to be arranged in advance as an examination room.This holiday is just right, because the paparazzi of Jinyu's family is about to add new members.

The lion has lived for five or six years, and this is the first time he has become a father. In fact, he has worked far harder than Jin Yu.Although before the big wedding, one person and one dog kept their virginity, but Jinyu still has two five girls, and the lion``````Fortunately, this kind of life is over, and the daughter-in-law is here. Come is three!
According to the habits of dogs, before giving birth, the female dog will make a nest to create a suitable environment for the newborn paparazzi, and then keep away from strangers, waiting for the addition of babies.This time is different because there are lions.

For the behavior of the three spouses, the lion is very disdainful. One day after Jinyu got off work, the lion directly grabbed Jinyu's apron (people in the Tang Dynasty wore a whole coat, and Jinyu likes to call Yang Ying an "apron" in private) , and pulled the owner to his kennel.

Except for being unable to speak out, the lion is no different from a naughty child, with a very high IQ.The lion arched on Xiao Wu's belly, and then bit the blanket under it with its mouth and tugged. Jin Yu understood that this was a signal to Jin Yu to arrange a place for the childbirth!

When the Jin family was not yet prosperous, there were many vacant houses, so Jin Yu directly vacated the side room next to the bedroom as a delivery room for the paparazzi, and drove all six dogs into it.In this way, even if it is giving birth at night, the lion can easily wake itself up by scratching the door.Because they are familiar with each other, everyone eats and lives together. At this time, the paparazzi did not compete for any territory. They lay comfortably in the nest prepared by Jinyu for them, got along well, and entered a harmonious society ahead of schedule.

Even though it's late winter, it's still cold.Don't close the door, it's cold in the house. If you close the door, the six dogs won't be able to come in and out freely.Jin Yu was very thoughtful, and ordered his servants to remove one of the doors, and then hung a thick blanket to keep warm, and the dog could come in and out freely.

Jin Yu has a long history of raising dogs, but he has never raised a female dog before, so he doesn't know what is important.Seeing that the four bitches were about to give birth, Jin Yu was a little worried. If something unexpected happened, besides his own distress, he would not be able to explain it to the two princes, Qin Cheng!
Jin Yu told Yang Ying about his worries, and Yang Ying felt a little sour, but she still said to Jin Yu: "My husband, don't worry about it, I have my own way."

Yang Ying's solution is very simple - find a midwife.Yang Ying now knows all about the pregnant women on Zhuangzi. She knows in her heart that there is no family whose due date is within a few days, that's why she thought of finding a stable wife.At this time, the neonatal mortality rate was very high, and the status of the stable woman also fluctuated along with it.If it weren't for the kindness and kindness of the Patriarch of the Jin family, no matter how much money they paid, they would not be willing to come.How can there be a babysitter who changes jobs to be a dog nanny?The thinking of people today is different from that of later generations, but they don’t know that pet hospitals that serve dogs in later generations are not inferior to those that treat people.

Wen Po lives next to the "delivery room". It's okay if she doesn't enter the delivery room. Once she enters, no dog will give her a good face except the lion.It seems that these dogs still have a sense of territory, but they just watch people order food.

The lion guarded the door dutifully, and Jin Yu, the master, was not idle either.Jin Yu found some small wood chips, polished the edges and corners neatly, branded the eyes with a red-hot iron drill, and finally wrote the serial number and strung it with a rope for later use.

Yang Ying watched it interestingly, and asked, "What is your husband doing?"

"Dog tag, hehe." Jin Yu pointed to the number on it and explained to Yang Ying: "The one with one in front means the child of primary one, the one with two is the cub of primary two, and so on. After a while, our family There are too many dogs here, don’t be so messed up that you can’t even recognize yourself.”

"Oh, my husband has a solution." Yang Ying praised Jin Yu, then turned her head and ordered the servant girl to put the food on the table.After the maid went out, she called Jinyu: "Husband, let's eat first, and it's not too late to clean up after dinner."

"The last one, it will be ready soon." Jin Yu prepared more than 20 wooden signs, which should be enough.He is very satisfied with the trick he came up with.

"The lion is really dedicated to being a father. He guards the door every day and doesn't allow anyone to enter." Jin Yu has already successfully completed the arrangement of strengthening nutrition for Yang Ying in the name of Sun Simiao.Yang Ying was eating sesame seed cakes and drinking delicious chicken soup, discussing today's affairs with Jin Yu.Even someone who is as smart as a lion is not at ease with outsiders, and the servants will not let people deliver food, so Jin Yu or Yang Ying must send it in.

"It's a habit. If it weren't for this, dogs wouldn't be able to reproduce at all." Jin Yu smiled and explained to Yang Ying.

Although Yang Ying didn't understand, she still nodded, because what she cared about was not the lion's duty, but the fact that the lion wanted to be a father. "The lion is going to be a father, and he is the father of many children, but he is a concubine``````"

Hearing Yang Ying's sour tone, Jin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his daughter-in-law really wanted her child so much that she was going crazy, was she comparing the dog with himself, or with her?It's not right to compare yourself to anyone, right? "Just stop the meeting, even the dog is jealous. Didn't the old god Sun say it? As long as this prescription is used continuously, don't stop, there will definitely be something in half a year."

"Yeah." Yang Ying nodded heavily, drank a big mouthful of chicken soup, her heart was full of emotion, "I am self-willed, my husband has to take care of it in the future, and I can't let my temper go."

"That's pretty good, why do you have to be controlled by those strict rules? As a husband, I don't like the days of being respectful to each other. The couple are like strangers, so it's better to wipe their necks." Jin Yu still has no grace. Eating and drinking, this problem really cannot be corrected.Yang Ying used to be a person who paid attention to "eating without talking", but now she is taken by Jin Yu and does not obey the rules.Although the habit is not the mainstream, it has more warmth, and both of them like it very much.

"That being said, outsiders don't see it that way. Husband will pass you a bowl, and I will add another bowl to you." Yang Ying pointed to Jinyu's empty bowl and said.

"No, you can just sit down, as your husband is closer to the pot." Jin Yu took another bite of sesame seed cakes, got up and added a bowl by himself.It is said that this chicken soup has enough aniseed ingredients, and it tastes very fragrant.Jin Yu was afraid that Yang Ying wouldn't be able to stand the greasy food, so she ate deliciously tonight, and her strategy was very successful.

"Come on, eat a chicken leg, the flavor is all in, it's very fragrant." A small rooster is stewed twice, and some other dishes are added, it's just right for two people to eat.The common people nowadays are very simple, the hens that lay eggs are kept to make money, and the roosters are money-losing goods, and those who have harvested should be sold quickly to save food.

"The greasy ``` is better for my husband to eat." Yang Ying frowned, expressing that she didn't like this one.

"It's not greasy at all, it's lean meat, where's the oil?" The little rooster was bought by Jin Yu for stewing soup when it was still in puberty, and it really didn't have much chicken oil.

Looking at the chicken leg in front of her, Yang Ying mustered up the courage to take a small bite, it was not bad, within the acceptable range, so her brows were relaxed, and it was a joy to eat.

Sun Simiao's folk prescription was very fragrant, and the two of them ate it to their stomachs.The two were thinking about what to do to digest their food, when the lion barked outside.Since being kicked by Jinyu last time, the lion has become much more obedient, at least he no longer acts mischievously to scare people.

Lions seldom make sounds, but tonight's call shocked many people.After Jin Yu came out, he ordered the servant who heard the sound: "Bring a basin of warm water first, and then boil some boiling water."

Yang Ying held the flashlight in her hand and lit the lamp according to Jin Yu's light.The lion stood guard outside the door, baring its teeth and grinning at Mrs. Wen who was about to come in. She was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Master, madam, your pet dog won't let my concubine in!"

Jinyu criticized the lion for this matter, but he was stubborn and refused to change after he was bitten to death. Jinyu was also quite helpless, so he told Mrs. Wen: "Then you old man, go back to the room first, and if you really can't do it later, I will call you."

Wen Po wished she would be fine all night, so she wouldn't have to suffer, so she went back to the house right away.

A servant brought a basin of warm water, Jin Yu tested the temperature of the water, then mixed in some sucrose and stirred it.If the delivery is not smooth for a while, the sucrose water can replenish some physical strength for the female mastiff.

After doing all this, Jin Yu began to observe tonight, who knew that the mother mastiff was going to be a mother, and what Jin Yu never expected was that it was Xiaosan!It seems that Xiaosan is the most popular in any age, and even mating is ahead of its two older sisters!It can also be seen from the side that the lion is an out-and-out beast ``````
Jin Yu didn't have time to blame the lion, because Xiaosan was very anxious. After all, it was her first time as a mother, and she didn't have much experience to learn from before, so she was a little nervous.When the lion heard Xiaosan's voice, he ran in quickly. After some silent physical exchanges, Xiaosan calmed down and waited for the delivery.

Although Jin Yu was waiting as if he was facing a big enemy, but Xiao San didn't need his help at all.The instinct of animals should not be underestimated. As soon as a puppy makes a sound, the mother dog will bite off the umbilical cord, then lick off the remaining sheep clothes on the puppy, and then use her own strength to arrange for the next little life to appear on the scene.

After the puppy is born, it also relies on its own instinct to dig into the mother's lower abdomen to find milk.All of this can only be said to be a masterpiece of nature, a magic weapon for all living things to reproduce to this day.

Xiaosan deserves to be called Xiaosan, she was the first to conceive, and she just gave birth to three little Tibetan mastiffs.The whole process was quite smooth, there was no place where Jin Yu could stretch his hands, of course, except for the pot of sugar water.

The other bitches agreed to give birth together, and gave birth to twelve puppies within three days, four puppies per litter, which was very average.

Although Wen Po didn't have the chance to play, she still got a red envelope from Yang Ying, and went home happily, everyone was happy.

As long as the production goes well, Jinyu's work will be over in stages, and the only thing that needs to be done is to strengthen the nutrition of the dog mothers, and Yang Ying has already taken over this matter.From then on, in addition to making busts and planning abacus, Yang Ying's life has added the joy of teasing dogs.

It is said that Yang Ying is in pain and happiness now, because the "bra tide" has quietly risen in the circle of ladies in Chang'an, but because they can't figure out how to use this thing, they can only ask Yang Ying for their sisters.Speaking of this bra, it is really not an easy job to make, it is much more complicated than a bellyband.The first thing to solve is the problem of the chest support. It is impossible to use iron bars in this era, because there is no stainless steel!If it is washed twice, it will be rusty``````It will affect the appearance, and it will also affect the taste!

If you are poor, you want to change, and Jinyu is poor in technology, so Yang Ying came up with a way-replace it with bamboo sticks!It is said that dry bamboo strips can be bent and shaped after a little roasting. Although they are worse than steel strips, they are better than none.

Another limitation is the buckle problem. If you want to make one or two, it's okay to find someone to make it with sterling silver. For example, Cheng Liu's and others are all made of sterling silver.But if there are too many, it will be difficult to be a human being.Inspired by Jin Yu's pair of sneakers, Yang Ying sewed three pairs of slits on the back and tied them with ribbons instead!If it is tied with a bow or something, it will add a bit of fun and make people love it even more.

When Yang Ying was busy, Jin Yu was not idle, he also had to consider the problem of spectacle frames for Qin Huaiyu.The spectacle frames of later generations are basically metal structures, but they are not suitable for use now, so Jin Yu can only retreat and seek other substitutes.After much deliberation, it seems that there is only one item of wood.

Considering that glasses are often worn, they must be light and strong.After listening to the Patriarch's request, Priest Tai tried many kinds of wood, but none of them were very satisfactory, and he pulled out half of his hair.In the end, a tree called oak oak was selected.This wood is much lighter than acacia, but has almost the same hardness.The entire spectacle frame is divided into five parts. Jinyu's suggestion was adopted, and finally the iron wire made by Su Gang was used to wear it. Even if it is damaged occasionally, it can be replaced.The spectacle frame of Datang's first pair of glasses was born in this way!
This spectacle frame is not easy to come by. Thai worshippers spent a whole day carving it, which is more tiring than smashing furniture.After the spectacle frame was finished, Jin Yu called Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu, two brothers with different surnames, and rushed to Zhenbao Pavilion, because the lenses had also been polished and shaped.

With the spectacle lenses in hand, Jin Yu tried the see-through effect, and it was not bad, better than the general glass of later generations. It would be more perfect if the price could be lower.

Jin Yu nodded in satisfaction, Cheng Huaimo next to him grinned, he understood what this meant, big baskets of rare metals were smiling at him, could he not return the greeting?
The next step is to measure the interpupillary distance. Although Jin Yu has never done it himself, he can understand the reason after thinking about it. It is nothing more than aligning the two pupils with the centers of the two lenses, which can minimize visual deviation.

After measuring the interpupillary distance, Jin Yu took out the fragmented spectacle frame from his purse, and then looked at the frame, trying to leave some drawing marks on the lens. He didn't think that people didn't eat ink at all!

"My lord, do you want to cut water jade and put it in a wooden frame?" An expert is an expert after all, and Old Man Jia has already guessed Jin Yu's purpose by seeing Jin Yu's behavior.

"Yes." Jin Yu nodded, intending to hand over the work to old man Jia, in case he accidentally damaged it, it would be really painful. "The water jade should be cut right into the wooden frame. It would be even better if the edge of the water jade can be cut into a mountain-like shape and stuck in the groove of the wooden frame." Jin Yu made a "V" with his hands. font.

Old man Jia nodded, expressing his understanding, "If the edge of water jade is polished, it will take a day``````"

"No, just feel and don't scratch." Jin Yu took the old man Jia's words and said, to be honest, he really couldn't wait, and wanted to see how the people of Tang Dynasty put on the glasses.It is said that on the streets of later generations, at a glance, half of the people are wearing glasses. Now I am not used to seeing passers-by without glasses all day long.In fact, it's not that Datang doesn't have myopia, it's just that he can't find a suitable treatment method.

There were no eye protection lamps in the Tang Dynasty. Some studious students read, memorized, and practiced calligraphy no matter day or night. After a long time, they would naturally become short-sighted.This is why the ancients all used a brush to write, and some of them wrote so big, not because they didn't want to save paper, but because some people couldn't see clearly when the characters were too small!

To say who knows more about Datang people, Cheng Huaimo will do his part.That day when he installed a magic stick in the tea room, he was estimating the size of the market, and the result surprised him. Seeing that Jinyu was satisfied with the quality of the lenses, Cheng Huaimo was even more surprised, and decided to go out to celebrate later.

Jin Yu was holding the lens and frame to communicate with Old Man Jia about the interpupillary distance and the focal length of the lens. Qin Huaiyu curiously picked up another lens and looked out.This look really surprised him - a clear and bright world unfolded in front of his eyes!Qin Huaiyu couldn't wait for this thing that her brother-in-law was tinkering with``````
Waiting is always painful, especially when there is something to look forward to.Qin Huaiyu was very restless, paced back and forth in the tea room, shaking Cheng Huaimo dizzily, "I said Huaiyu, don't leave, my eyes are almost blurred."

"Didn't you leave just now?" Qin Huaiyu glanced at Cheng Huaimo, but he followed his advice.

"Look, the elder brother is still stable." Cheng Huaimo said to Qin Huaiyu with his mouth closed and his eyes closed.

"Why are you two arguing and pulling me on? Why can't you take a nap if you're sleepy?" Jin Yu stood up and stretched. Although the paparazzi didn't bother him, he didn't feel at ease, and kept watching every time. With that, the lion is also very happy to let Jinyu share his joy of being a father, and every time he calls Jinyu, he is timely.

"Brother, did you toss around all night last night? Hehe." Cheng Huaimo turned into a wretched man again, smiling at Jinyu with an ambiguous face.

"The brain is not clean!" Jin Yu rewarded Cheng Huaimo with a brain collapse, "It's true that you have been tossing all night, but it's not what you think."

"What is he thinking?" Qin Huaiyu asked solemnly from the side.

Jin Yu and Cheng Huaimo looked at Qin Huaiyu suspiciously, and they commented in unison: "Men Sao!"

Qin Huaiyu felt guilty, his face turned red, and the two laughed out loud after seeing it.The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion resolved Qin Huaiyu's embarrassment in a timely manner, and walked in with his glasses in his hands, "My lord, it's done!"
