Chapter 113 The flames soar into the sky
Then he realized that his reaction was too great, and Chen Sisi pretended to be unhappy to cover it up:
"Well, Wu Fang'er, I thought you were my sister in vain. I wanted to ask if you wanted my help these past two days, but I was afraid that you would lose face. Who would have thought that you turned around and found someone else to teach you, not me."<
/p>
Wu Fang'er thought she had been exposed, and when she was feeling guilty, she raised her head in disbelief when she heard these words: "Really?"
Chen Sisi nodded with a smile: "You and I are sisters, why should we sacrifice what is close and seek what is far away? You don't need anyone else, just let me teach you."
Wu Fang'er had a look of surprise on her face, and confirmed again and again that it was true, and said movedly: "Si Si, you are so kind, you are the best to me these days." He never ridiculed her, and always smiled when he looked at her.
Chen Sisi's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has won first place in the Japanese examination many times. It is great to have her teach me.
Wu Fang'er was very happy when she thought of this, and sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Chen Sisi's eyes were cold, his face was sincere, and he cordially established a sisterhood with Wu Fang'er, as long as Wu Fang'er didn't let that person teach her.
But as soon as she mentioned that person, Wu Fang'er's words flickered and she abruptly changed the subject, which made her feel even colder.
At lunch that day, Su Siru and a few lackeys suddenly discovered that Chen Sisi and Wu Fang'er had become friends and had an intimate attitude.
The two of them were dining together and serving food to each other.
Su Siru had a strange look on her face. After thinking about it, she decided not to bother and sat behind the two of them with her lunch, openly listening to other people's "whispering".
When I heard Chen Sisi calling Wu Fang'er's name affectionately and wanted to teach people "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
Su Siru sneered: "Hey, the weasel is giving New Year greetings to the chicken!"
She didn't care that Chen Sisi was present, and said to Wu Fang'er: "You are so stupid, why are you trying so hard? It's useless no matter how hard you try. Besides, you can just do it, who can't you ask her to teach you? Tsk,
Originally you could still get five points, but if you learn from her, you might get zero points. It's stupid and frustrating, so don't bother."
After stopping Chen Sisi from being punished last time, Su Siru made a big discovery and decided that Chen Sisi was a smiling scorpion who looked harmless but was actually very poisonous, so she made some sarcastic comments from time to time.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Sisi and Wu Fang'er looked very ugly.
Wu Fang'er plucked up the courage to retort, but she didn't dare when she saw Su Siru's eyes and shrank in fear.
Chen Sisi looked at Su Siru coldly, endured it again and again, and said to Wu Fang'er: "Fang'er, leave her alone, let's go."
This is just a small episode.
Two nights later, somewhere in the east of the capital, there was a raging fire, with thick smoke billowing and flames reaching into the sky. There was a constant sound of running water, and there was a constant flow of fire-fighting officers and soldiers. The location was in the direction of the Arsenal.
Fortunately, the patrol team passed by and joined the fire-fighting team, so there was no mistake. In the end, the fire only burned half of the Arsenal Department's Yamen, and the fire was almost extinguished when it almost reached the armory. Only two people were injured in this accident, and no one was injured.
Died.
The matter was so important that the old minister of the Ministry of War got up from his bed at night and rushed over to take command personally. He severely reprimanded the incompetent and careless people. Fortunately, the weapons depot was not burned, otherwise the confiscation of the house and the extermination of the clan would not be enough to apologize.
Then Lao Shangshu waved his hand and detained everyone present. No one was allowed to leave. He wrote a memorial to report the accident overnight.
When the emperor learned about it, Lei Lei was furious that such a bad thing had happened in the important weapons warehouse of the Arsenal Department. He immediately ordered that the head of the Arsenal Department, Lang Zhong, and others be dismissed from their posts and await trial. Then he sent someone to temporarily take charge of the Arsenal Department to investigate the losses.
p>
The actions were fast and ruthless, and by the time the court went to court the next day, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Many ministers still didn't know what had happened. They only knew that there was a fire in the Arsenal Department, with a huge fire and thick smoke billowing.
The left minister of the Ministry of War was still doing hard work in other places. It was already a long time before he got the news. It was too late.
After the incident occurred, Wu Dingbang led people into the Arsenal Department overnight and was fully responsible for the investigation.
There are warehouse after warehouse of weapons of various types and quantities. Wu Dingbang is checking them all except eating, drinking and sleeping.
Others have slept in the Arsenal Department, and the people they brought were in groups of three, supervising each other, and they could not leave their sight. They all stayed in the Arsenal Department to prevent news from being transmitted to the outside world.
There are official guards outside, and no one can get in. The rest of the people with knowledge have been guarded, and every effort has been made to keep it secret.
The common people had no idea what had happened, and both the government and the central government only thought it was an investigation of the damage caused by the fire.
If Yu Chigong goes to such great lengths to set up such a fire, he is bound to find out something.
Wu Dingbang also issued a military order. If it failed, he raised his head and went to see it.
The harem knows nothing about these things, and Lihua naturally has nowhere to know.
Days passed like water, and the daily and weekly exams were passed. Looking at the few days left, the show girls became more and more nervous, studying very consciously, and waiting for the final exam to come.
Xiao Zhuozi has some talent in arithmetic, and can already independently answer the problems raised by the show girls. Only when the problems cannot be solved, Lihua will take action.
After school, Lihua has a lot less to worry about. She has a lot of time after lunch break and dinner. Xiu Nu has her own little boy to take care of her.
Looking for an opportunity, Lihua also went to the Queen Mother's library. Seeing the library full of rare books, Lihua, like a nouveau riche, came back with a bundle of books to read.
It involves astronomy, geography, humanistic legends, including the history compiled by this dynasty, and even the "Agricultural Planting Method".
This book is one of the reprints compiled by Queen Shotoku. The original version is so precious that it is kept in the attic of the library, and Lihua dare not touch it.
She also came across this book by chance. She could see that it had been read more than once, so she picked it up and flipped through it. She was immediately attracted by the narrative style in the book.
This book is different from all the books compiled in this dynasty. It is all written in the vernacular, and there are many interesting illustrations. The wording, sentences and arrangement are all novel. It looks like it is for a three-year-old child and an illiterate person, and it is very interesting to read.
Very surprised.
This is an agricultural encyclopedia. This narrative method is just suitable for the common people. The person who compiled this book dares to break stereotypes and understands the common people very well. He is a genius.
Lihua understood it completely. No wonder the agricultural productivity of this era was much more developed than she thought. It turned out that there was such a book to guide it.
She looked up the editor and found out that it was Queen Seungdeok.
She vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a folk custom of worshiping Empress Shengde. This Empress should be Queen Shengde. With such a queen, she truly deserves to be worshiped by the people.
Lihua thought about it and borrowed a volume, and also picked up a set of history books that could not be circulated outside, hoping to understand the history of Queen Shotoku's era.
Chapter completed!
