dream of red mansion

After taking off all his clothes, Jia Qing climbed into the big bathtub.The water was warm, and it was very comfortable to soak in. Behind him, Xie Luan was also slowly pinching his small shoulders with her soft hands.

Feeling the tender touch of the young and beautiful girl on her shoulder, Jia Qing gave a comfortable grace, and said to herself, "I wouldn't even give it to a god for a day like this!"

"Sister Xiaoluan, massage my back!"

After a while, Jia Qing turned around and lay down beside the barrel, urging Xie Luan to say.

Xie Luan obediently moved her hand to Jia Qing's back, and began to massage gently. She was always obedient when she waited for him to take a bath.

Jia Qing smelled the faint fragrance of the girl in front of him, and felt a little hot and dry...but his physical condition was immature, and he didn't have any physiological reactions that shouldn't be there.

Forcibly throwing away these complicated thoughts, Jia Qing closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly.

After a while, Jia Qing was about to fall asleep, and suddenly felt cool, and his spirit recovered instantly. It turned out that Xie Luan was smearing soap on his body.The so-called pancreas is a small piece of something specially made by pig pancreas, lard, etc. plus some other substances, which is specially used for bathing by rich families.The principle is similar to the principle of making soap.

He stood up so that Xie Luan could smear it on his body.

Looking at the small box next to the soap, Jia Qing suddenly thought that it would be great if he could make modern soap, which would be much easier to use than this expensive soap.

I still remember that the simplest raw materials for making soap are oil, sodium hydroxide, and water.Grease and water are easy to solve, the key is that there seems to be no sodium hydroxide in this era.

The most convenient way to make alkali is to use salt as a raw material to produce it, but that requires electricity, so he can't use two magnets and one iron wire to produce electricity, right?He didn't say whether it could be done, but he just thought it was stupid, at least for now he didn't plan to do it.

Then there is only the last method that is possible in this day and age that I can remember: direct use of natural alkali.He knew that some soda lakes or soda mines often have lumps of soda stones, which are not real soda and contain a lot of impurities and mixtures.I just don't know if people in this era have used this kind of thing, but you can ask the little girl next to you.

"Sister Xiaoluan, have you ever heard of alkali stone?"

After finishing speaking, no one answered, but when he looked up, he saw that Xie Luan's eyes were a little erratic, he was not surprised, he felt the slight touch below the lower abdomen, and instantly understood: This girl, I haven't gotten used to it for almost two years...

But he didn't want to, he has changed a bit compared to two years ago, at least the land area has increased a lot.

Following Xie Luan's evasive gaze, Jia Qing looked at his territory.Naked, without a hair, but there is a guy showing his might in front of him.Tch, what's so foreign about that fancy but useless guy?

After venting his anger towards his little brother for many years, Jia Qing called softly: "Sister Xiaoluan?"

"Huh? What?"

"Sister Xiaoluan, have you ever heard of alkali stone?"

Xieluan came to his senses now, and continued to walk on Jia Qing's body with his small hands, rubbing his body for him, and replied: "Oh, I don't know about alkali stone, but I have heard people say alkali, it seems to be Plant ash or something."

Hey, as long as you have this thing, it will be easy to deal with. When the time comes, find it and purify it, maybe you can make a cute little soap with fragrance and foam.

Jia Qing, who was in a good mood, was washed clean by Xie Luan, climbed out of the wooden barrel, and stood on the designed wooden bench, asking Xie Luan to wipe off the water drops for him, put on clean clothes, and do not need to move a little during the whole bathing process hand.

Hey, it's obviously very corrupt, why are you still a little dissatisfied?

Age is a flaw...

Chapter No.16 School Sleeping Time

After taking a bath, he had lunch and tidied up, and Jia Qing went to the yard where he was studying again.

He really didn't want to read Nao Shizi's Four Books and Five Classics, and there was nothing to play in the school.But when he thought of Jia Jing who couldn't afford to offend now, he still reluctantly went.

After Yu Yuanchen taught him the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames", and "Thousand Characters", Jia Jing checked and found that Jia Qing's enlightenment was already in place, and he didn't need to learn other enlightenment books. A few as extracurricular readings will do.So I began to teach him the four books "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius".

While other children were still reciting the Three Character Classic at this age, he had already started learning the Four Books.In this regard, Jia Jing's explanation is: Since I have learned it before, why not learn the Four Books earlier?If you finish studying the Four Books and Five Classics early, you will be able to end up earlier in the future. If you win the Juren, the gap between a prodigy and an ordinary person will be a few years ago and a few years later.

Jia Qing didn't comment on this. He hadn't decided whether to take the scientific examination yet. He knew that it was definitely much more difficult to pass the examination in ancient times than it is in modern times to be admitted to Peking University.

Moreover, the risk of cheating in ancient times was extremely huge. I didn’t look at Jia Zheng, the youngest son Jia Zheng, who was valued by the old lady Jia, loved reading so much and had a powerful family. official.

Of course, the era when the emperor and officials were in power does not count.

However, Jia Jing and others will not care about Jia Qing's opinion.In this era of peace, studying and becoming an official is the goal that everyone with pursuit should have. This is the general trend!

Sitting on the stool in the "private school", Jia Qing opened the two books in his hand that he had studied for almost two years and was about to vomit...

Jia Jing has repeatedly explained these two books to him many times. This month is the last review time, and next month he will start studying "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University", so he is generally the only one in the school this month.When he thought that there were still five classics to be learned later, and that such inhuman torture would last at least a few years, he was extremely troubled.

He also asked Jia Jing why he was not allowed to attend classes in the Jia Family School?

Jia Jing said in a perfunctory way: There are too many scholars in the clan, and you are too young. It is not too late to go later.

However, Jia Qing still felt Jia Jing's contempt for ethnology.Also, Jia Dairu, a gentleman of ethnology, is Jia Jing's uncle. He has been studying all his life, and he seems to be a child born with fame, not even a scholar. How can such a person teach "high disciples"?

It's just because Jia Dairu is an elder, it's not easy to cut off his "job", so he didn't give the ethnology a new teacher.But if he wants his youngest son to dawdle, that's no way!

The lazy Jia Qing flipped through the book in his hand, then threw it aside.

"It's so boring!"

He complained in a low voice, and then thought that it would be great if Xie Luan and Pei Feng were here, lying on the stool in this weather, leaning his head on Xie Luan's jade legs, enjoying the massage on the head and the little girl handed over from time to time. Chunks of fruit...that was the day of the gods.

But how dare he bring the maid here?If Jia Jing found out, he must break his dog legs!That's... an unbearable taste!

He got up gently, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and looked out quietly.Hey, no one!Just to catch up on sleep.

He closed and bolted the courtyard door, quietly returned to the stool, lay down, and soon fell asleep.

Jia Zhen was not in a very good mood today. She took a nap and didn't want to do anything when she got up.Thinking of what happened in the morning, he felt that he still had to go and see if his concubine brother was someone who could threaten him, so he planned to talk to him and find out the truth.

He knew that Jia Qing was mostly studying in the school at this time, so he didn't ask anyone to follow him, and went directly to the place where Jia Qing was studying.

From a long distance, I saw that the gate of the school yard was closed.Jia Zhen thought to herself: Could it be that the second brother is on vacation today?

I came closer with the thought of finding out, and felt that something was wrong, the door was not locked from the outside.

Curious, he took a few steps forward, tilted his head slightly, and through the crack of the door, he could faintly see a child lying on the stool inside.Take a closer look and see who it is if it's not Jia Qing!

Jia Zhen smiled in her heart, she was still a child, and fell asleep in the school.

Taking a closer look, I realized that Jia Qing was sleeping very soundly, obviously used to sleeping here, Jia Zhen smiled on her face, shook her head, and walked away gently.

What can such a person do?

When Jia Qing woke up, the sun was fading, he turned up with a grunt, looked up at the sky, then ran to the courtyard gate without arranging the books, pulled out the latch, and ran all the way back to his own courtyard.

During dinner, a woman came to spread the word that a young man named Wang Shun outside the second door wanted to see Jia Qing.Jia Qing was very happy, thinking to himself that there would be news so soon?hurried out of the yard.

I saw Wang Shun outside the second gate.

"The little one has seen the second master."

"Well, tell me what's wrong with me?"

Wang Shun thought about it, and said: "Didn't the second master want us to pay attention to the movement in the west? It just so happened that we got a piece of news today. I don't know if it is the news that the second master wants."
