Tang Yaoyao finally stopped moving in the past two days.
If you think about it carefully, she seems to become sluggish during these few days every month.
She couldn't touch cold water, couldn't blow cold wind, and naturally couldn't eat popsicles. In addition to the watermelon flavor, Tang Ning added several more flavors. She sat in front of the bed and ate them for her to see.
Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "Don't be too proud."
Tangning ignored her.
After a while, Tang Yaoyao moved closer to the bed and said, "Give me a bite."
Tangning said calmly: "No."
Tang Yaoyao pretended to be pitiful and said, "Just one bite."
Tangning was already immune to her cuteness. She shook her head and said firmly, "I won't give you a bite."
Tang Yaoyao finally returned to his true self, crossed his arms and said angrily: "Then stay away from me!"
Tang Ning walked out of the room. The time he could counter Tang Yaoyao was only a few days. When she was resurrected with full health in a few days, it would be Tang Ning's turn to stop screaming.
Fang Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao each took a popsicle and ate it. Tang Ning's limit for them was two popsicles per day.
He can no longer call her Fang Xiaopang or Fang Manyue. In half a year, she has slimmed down from a full moon to a crescent moon, which can be called an inspirational legend.
Of course, there are positive examples and negative examples. Zhao Yuanzheng stuck his butt out, squatting in front of the copper basin, adding water to the large copper basin where saltpeter was placed, watching a thin layer of ice gradually condense in the small copper basin, and then put the thin ice
Take it out, put it in your mouth, and make a crunching sound when you bite it.
Tang Ning remembered that he had read information before. The technology of making ice with saltpeter seemed to have been available at the end of the Tang Dynasty. However, the end of the Tang Dynasty in this world was different from the other world he was familiar with. It lacked the technology of 150 years.
It is not unusual for history to have strange changes.
Or maybe saltpeter is not very efficient in making ice and has been abandoned by people in the development of history. Nowadays, only the royal family and wealthy families in the capital who own ice cellars can use ice cubes in the hot summer.
Royal Palace.
Chen Huang drank the ice-cold wine, looked at the scorching sun outside, shook his head and said: "I don't know how long this drought will last. If it continues to be so hot, I'm afraid something will happen."
Wei Jian took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Qin Tian Jian. There should be a rain in the capital within three days. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Emperor Chen glanced at him and said angrily: "How has the weather predicted by Qin Tian Jian ever been accurate?"
Wei Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe this time it will be right."
Emperor Chen thought for a while and asked: "How much ice is left in the palace?"
Wei Jiandao: "In previous years, when stored from winter to summer, more than half of the ice will melt. This year, the weather is hotter, and the ice will melt by another 20%. There is not much ice left."
"Send some more to Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Xian." Emperor Chen ordered, and then asked: "Where has Yuan'er gone? Why haven't you seen her today?"
Wei Jian thought for a while and said, "I said I went to the Fang family. Mr. Fang took the old lady to the capital, and Concubine Shu also wanted to go out of the palace to see the old lady."
"This is what it should be." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "You should arrange this matter as soon as possible. Concubine Shu has not seen the old lady for a long time."
"Father, I'm back!"
A voice came from outside the palace. King Run ran in from outside the palace with two copper basins, one large and one small. When he ran in, he accidentally tripped and the copper basins flew out.
He got up, patted his butt, picked up the copper basin, and said happily: "Father, let me do a trick for you!"
Emperor Chen stepped forward and asked, "What trick is it?"
King Run ran to the door of the palace and said, "Bring the things in quickly."
One eunuch carried a bucket, and another eunuch held a box containing white powder and walked in from outside the palace.
Also walking in at the same time were two old men.
Emperor Chen watched King Run put the small basin into the big basin and poured the white powder into the big basin. He waved his hands to the two old men and said, "Two great scholars, wait a moment. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
"
"Father, please watch carefully!" King Run looked back at Huang Chen and poured the water in the bucket into the large basin.
The water in the large basin quickly became turbid, but other than that, there was nothing eye-catching about it.
Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "Is this Yuan'er's trick?"
"Father, wait a minute!" Zhao Yuan squatted on the ground with his butt stuck out, staring at the small copper basin, and saw that the water surface of the small copper basin gradually began to change.
Chen Huang looked at the thin layer of ice gradually emerging from the small copper basin. He was shocked by this summer ice trick and said in surprise: "What kind of trick is this!"
Zhao Yuan said proudly: "How is it? It's awesome, isn't it?"
Chen Huang thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Is this what your husband taught you?"
Zhao Yuan said embarrassedly: "I learned it secretly while standing by. I can also make popsicles. I will make them for my father later..."
An old man standing aside couldn't help but said: "Your Highness should learn more knowledge instead of these strange and obscene techniques. Did your Highness memorize yesterday's poem?"
King Run shook his head and said: "Sir, you don't need to memorize those messy things. Juggling is also a knowledge, and it is a university knowledge. If the people knew this knowledge, there would not be so many people dying of heat in the summer, and memorizing poems would not make people eat it."
Even if you are full, you can't feel cool. Those people who write poems will only make people memorize..."
The gentleman said that juggling requires a lot of knowledge, and the following words were understood by himself. If there were fewer poets and poets in the world, they wouldn't have to memorize so many poems and articles.
"That's nonsense..." The old man's beard trembled with anger as he said, "Writing poetry is to cultivate one's sentiments, to entertain one's emotions, and to express one's aspirations... Who dares to say such nonsense!"
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Master Chen, let's calm down first."
He also knew why the academician was so angry. Academician Chen was a leading figure in the literary world and was good at poetry, so naturally he would not tolerate any slanderous words from others.
"Your Majesty, how can I not be angry!" University Scholar Chen was still angry and said: "This person is simply misleading people. How can a crazy student who doesn't even understand poetry teach His Highness Prince Run?"
"He really understands poetry." Chen Huang looked at Grand Scholar Chen and said helplessly: "Have you ever heard of the Poetry Maniac?"
University Scholar Chen was obviously no stranger to this title, he was shocked and said: "Tang Ning, the new champion?"
In fact, there is no one in the capital who is fond of poetry who does not know the name of "Poetry Maniac".
Although he doesn't have many poems in his collection, his poems are all excellent. He can be said to be the biggest dark horse to emerge in Chen Guo's poetry circle this year.
The names of Tang Ning, the mad poet, and Zhong Yi, the most talented woman. The names of the two of them are two huge mountains that weigh on today's poetry world. They are intimidating and cannot make any comparisons.
People who say poetry is crazy and don’t understand poetry are the real crazy people. Academician Chen’s face turned red and white, and finally he could only grit his teeth and said bitterly: “He, he is insulting the gentlemen. Even though he is knowledgeable and talented,
But it’s also inappropriate to lead His Highness to indulge in bizarre and obscene techniques!”
Another bachelor suddenly stepped forward and said: "Master Chen, what you said is wrong. Rich families in the capital have ice cellars that can be used to relieve the heat in summer, but the poor people can only endure the heat. If I just said
You read that right, your highness uses saltpeter to make ice in the summer. Saltpeter is cheap. If the common people can master this method, it will provide an additional way to relieve the heat. Therefore, what your highness uses is not a strange and obscene technique, but
It is a method that benefits the people..."
Academician Chen wanted to say more, but the old man beside him winked at him, and he said no more.
After a while, the two people walked out of the hall, and Grand Scholar Chen couldn't help but ask: "Even so, His Highness cannot be allowed to neglect his studies. Reading can not only deepen his knowledge, but also cultivate virtue..."
The old man looked at him, shook his head and said, "It's not that the more you read, the better your virtues will be. Although His Royal Highness Prince Run is young and playful, his virtues are not lacking. Even Prince Duan and Kang are not as good as him."
Academician Chen was stunned and immediately said: "You mean..."
The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything..."
