After reading the books of sages, Prince Fusu took out an unfinished wooden hairpin and continued carving it.
Sawdust flew around for a long time, and after a while, a peach wood hairpin with a hibiscus flower was made.
Prince Fusu picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully, modifying some details from time to time, until there were no flaws no matter how he looked at it. Only then did he put the hairpin on the table with satisfaction.
Then he took out a mahogany box filled with neatly folded papers.
Looking at the full box of papers, Master Fusu chuckled and put the hibiscus hairpin into the box.
After doing all this, he wrote a letter of thanks to the immortal.
As the brush moved across the paper, the sun gradually set.
The sky was getting dark and the day's vacation was gone in a flash.
Just when Prince Fusu was about to offer the letter to the immortal, the mirror moved first.
A white slip of paper was handed over, written in the immortal's handwriting: Last time, in addition to the military coats, I also prepared a batch of cloth. I'll give it to you tomorrow, and you should have a good rest tonight.
...
...
Will the immortal give them cloth?
That military coat is so warm, I can’t imagine how useful the cloth sent by the immortal would be.
Thinking of this, he picked up his pen and wrote back: Thank you for your concern, immortal. I will arrange for someone to make clothes out of the cloth.
The two chatted back and forth for a while.
Prince Fusu remembered the instructions of his Mohist disciple, wrote this matter down on a piece of paper and sent it over.
After receiving the note, Li Rongrong thought about it.
Fusu said that the little girl could see the light, but the things she saw were blurry and there were double images of people.
And it's not that he was born like this, but his vision becomes increasingly blurred as he gets older.
Why do these symptoms sound so much like high myopia and astigmatism?
Thinking of this, she directly ordered an eye chart online, and asked Fusu to test the little girl after receiving the goods.
Although it is not that accurate, it will be easy to deal with if it is confirmed that you are nearsighted.
Li Rongrong told Fusu about these thoughts first. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the question she had forgotten to ask before: "Why is Daqin short of food?"
Logically speaking, they were stationed in the Yinshan Mountains and the Hetao Plain.
The soil there is famous for its fertile soil. As long as we plant crops there and add the grain we transport over, there won't be such a food shortage.
When this was mentioned, Prince Fusu became visibly worried. He picked up his pen and wrote: I don't know why, but last year, Daqin was suddenly hit by a locust plague, floods, and drought. Various natural disasters suddenly appeared, and the grain harvest was almost gone. We could only rely on the surplus grain from previous years to survive.
Now she realized something was wrong.
I have consulted the chronology of disasters in historical books before.
After Qin Shihuang unified the world, no major natural disasters occurred.
It was only in the 36th year of Qin Shihuang's reign, that is, after his death, that various major disasters occurred.
Although she was puzzled, she had no way of knowing the reason.
Li Rongrong passed a note and asked, "So, will you continue to plant in winter?"
Speaking of winter planting, Prince Fusu had a few questions to ask.
I don’t know if the immortal can answer my questions.
He picked up a pen, wrote down the question, and handed it over. Half a day passed before the paper was delivered.
The paper was filled with answers.
The immortal said that the best way to increase crop yields is to cultivate the land carefully.
First of all, we need good farming tools. Secondly, water conservancy and irrigation should be convenient. We also need to adapt to local conditions, such as rotating sowing... using fertilizers...
Prince Fusu read word by word, and became more and more frightened the more he read.
I didn’t expect there is so much knowledge involved in farming.
You are truly an immortal, knowing so much!
Prince Fusu was overjoyed and had many ideas for winter planting.
While he was excited, he did not forget to send the previous thank-you letter to the immortal.
After the letter was sent, there was no movement for a long time.
＊
Li Rongrong was still looking up information and then writing furiously.
Prince Fusu just asked her how to plant crops to increase yields.
She really didn't know much about planting and only wrote down some simple things she knew.
For specific methods, you still need to find specialized information on the Internet.
From analyzing soil conditions and adapting to local conditions to building greenhouses and using organic fertilizers...
I wrote a total of five or six pages before I stopped.
Fortunately, Fusu now knows a lot of modern fonts and doesn’t need to write in small seal script.
Otherwise, she might not be able to finish it even if she wrote for several days.
Organize the written materials, bind them into a book, and then send them over.
After finishing all this, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
“Gurgle…”
Her stomach protested and she remembered that she had not had dinner tonight.
Her house occupies the entire third floor and has a separate kitchen.
In the past, when the scenic spot was just opened, there were a lot of people coming, and I was always busy until midnight before I could cook for myself.
There were still some uneaten eggs and noodles in the refrigerator that I didn't know when they were put in.
After searching for a long time, I finally found the tomatoes stuck in the bottom layer.
The tomatoes were not ripe when I bought them, so I put them in the refrigerator and forgot about them.
I picked out a few tomatoes that were still edible and cooked two bowls of tomato and egg noodles.
There was also a cucumber salad.
As for why there was cucumber, of course she bought it today to apply on her face mask.
This time the cucumber was not used as a facial mask, but was put into the pot first.
When she was done, she came out of the kitchen carrying a tray.
Place one on the table and one near the mirror.
Jingzi passed the tomato and egg noodles and cold cucumber salad over as before and placed them steadily on the table.
The tomato and egg noodles were still steaming, causing the mirror to fog up instantly.
Through the mist, she seemed to see Fusu sitting beside the bed, holding something shiny in his hand.
When she wiped the mist off the mirror, she could see clearly that he was holding a night-shining pearl.
However, this night pearl is different from ordinary night pearls.
It emits a very bright white light and makes everything in the room clearly visible.
This is……
She had a vague guess in her mind.
Zhang Heng once wrote in "Fu of Western Capital": "The night light of the hanging stream is decorated with pearls as candles."
It is about one of the two greatest treasures during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - Suihou Pearl!
Historically, the two great treasures, the Heshi Bi and the Suihou Pearl, were robbed during the Spring and Autumn Period until the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms.
Both of these things fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang.
In other words, apart from Qin Shihuang, Fusu was the most likely person to own the Suihou Pearl.
＊
It was already early in the morning and he originally wanted to go to bed early, but when the issue of winter planting was mentioned in the evening, he couldn't fall asleep again.
The weather at the border is bitterly cold, and there is a shortage of seeds for winter planting.
We can only put our hopes on the immortals.
Thinking of this, Prince Fusu took the Suihou Pearl and examined it carefully. Only after making sure that it was correct did he approach the mirror.
When he walked to the mirror, the first thing he noticed was the steaming noodles on the table.
The aroma of noodles instantly filled his face and continued to linger around him.
My appetite was aroused and my stomach couldn't help but growl.
