I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times

Before the production of transparent glass, there were craftsmen in the workshop who were able to refine colored glaze, but that kind of glaze had low light transmission and was not big in size.

There is a large glazed window in the imperial palace, which is ground into a palm-sized sheet and inlaid with silver wire, which is a very complicated process.

The difficulty of installing a whole piece of glass windows is many times easier than installing glazed pieces, so when Zhao Ji came to the National Teacher's Mansion, all the glass windows of Yan Yunkai's study had already been installed.

Of course, it is not the sliding windows that are common in modern times, but the glass is placed on a carved wooden frame, and then the window frame is installed.

Zhao Ji walked around the study room twice, and had to admire the craftsmen for their exquisite craftsmanship. The new windows were installed on the outer wall of the study room of the National Teacher's Mansion without being obtrusive at all, and very harmonious. People can't see any traces of modification at all.

Steward Xing has been following Zhao Ji and explaining to him. It was only at this time that Zhao Ji knew that there were glazed windows in the palace, and there were many precious glazed bottles and bowls in the warehouse of the National Teacher's Mansion.

Steward Xing also said that he would take it out for him to see, but Zhao Ji thought it was troublesome, so he shook his head and refused.

He thought, it would be fun to let Yan Yunkai take it out to have a look someday when he is free.Looking at it with the wrinkled Butler Xing, even if it is a rare treasure, it is boring to look at.

Although he didn't see the glazed windows in the palace with his own eyes, Zhao Ji was still amazed at the ancient technology at the moment.

Just like after he came into contact with the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, he was always amazed at their medical skills.

Two days ago, Zhao Ji also saw the patients who were operated by imperial doctors for the first time. They only used alcohol, and the rest were treated with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. In the end, even the scars left by the operation were extremely light.

According to Dr. Xue, even the faint scars can fade to the point where they can't be seen in the end as long as the medicine is applied on time.

Because the scars on the little emperor's body were almost invisible after using his medicine.

Zhao Ji admired this very much, and asked Xue Yuyi for the light green ointment, and applied it to Miss Xiao's face.

Yuyi Xue told Zhao Ji proudly that this ointment was a secret recipe researched by Xue Yuyi's father by a favored concubine when the late emperor was alive.

The imperial concubine applied ointment to her face, and when she was almost 50 years old, her complexion was still fair and tender, without even wrinkles.But this noble concubine did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and died a few years before the late emperor died, so few people mentioned her recently.

At that time, there was no one around except Zhao Ji and Xue Yuyi. He secretly told Zhao Ji that the noble concubine was more beautiful than the Queen Mother Zheng who gave birth to a son. The hospital sentenced them, but after the imperial concubine died, their family fell into decline.

Yu Yu Xue looked depressed, but Zhao Ji really couldn't taste why Yu Yu Xue, who was able to treat the emperor full-time, was so unhappy.

Could it be that his ambition is not to be an imperial doctor, but to be a high official?But he is also very active in studying medicine, participating in surgical experiments and taking anatomy classes, all of which are not bad.

Through contact with imperial doctors, Zhao Ji deeply realized that the ancients were not as ignorant and resistant to technological development as he stereotyped.

After Zhao Ji's current thinking changed, he finally understood the reason why ancient technologies are often lost and cannot be preserved for a long time and cannot be developed continuously.

It is not because of the self-preservation that modern people usually think, but because of the weakening of national strength and the ensuing war.

When the world is peaceful and the country is strong, people are very willing to try new things.When the national strength weakens and war breaks out, people will become austere and conservative.

Even if a conservative stance is adopted, none of the original technologies will survive the cleansing of the war.

This is almost a historical reincarnation, which happens every 300 years.

The reason why Zhao Ji was able to discover this was because of the novels and miscellaneous travel books he often read.

Although the information in these books is messy, he saw that in the legendary stories of the previous dynasty, it was clearly mentioned that there was a story of caesarean section in the previous dynasty, and the mother and child were safe, but today people mostly regard it as a strange legend.

There are also many farm tools and planting methods that existed in the previous dynasty, but now they are gone. There is only one name left, which is left in the corner of novels and travel notes.

It is almost impossible to completely avoid the technological regression brought about by war.Zhao Ji can't let his current efforts come to naught in the next 200 years.

He knows that the only way to reverse the situation is to continue to popularize, and to spread today's technologies to the most remote farmers, so that they can survive in the rolling waves of history.

Looking at the transparent glass windows that perfectly fit the ancient buildings, Zhao Ji thought a lot.But he didn't say anything, and he will use the actions in the next few decades to realize his vision.

Butler Xing waited for Zhao Ji to appreciate the new windows before he said to him, "The craftsmen installed the windows of the study in the morning, and the master went home at noon to see them, and he was full of praise. Afterwards, let the craftsmen bring the materials to the son. It’s time to go home. He said that he would save enough glass in a few days and send it to the palace to replace the Wenhua Hall and the Imperial Study with new glass windows.”

After being reminded by Steward Xing, Zhao Ji remembered that now it is an imperial power society, with good things, how could he forget to pay tribute.

In the past, when the Western Suburb Workshop produced good things, they all had to pay tribute.At that time, Guanshi Zhang was in charge of these matters. He sent the entry to the National Teacher's Mansion. After Yan Yunkai read it, he asked Steward Xing to handle the specific matters of the tribute, so Zhao Ji didn't know about it.

Whether it's a shower, a flush toilet, or a pencil, the emperor and queen mother like it very much.Everyone knows that this is a whimsical idea that Zhao Ji got from the immortal.

Zhao Ji thought that since he had been staying away from the imperial palace recently, the operation he performed on the little emperor back then would be gradually forgotten.What they didn't know was that his name often rang in the ears of Yan Yunjing and the Queen Mother.

Everyone in the palace knew that Zhao Ji had a higher position in the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor than Jiang Bai, the real person who had recently lectured to the queen mother.

Today, Yan Yun was busy with business. After finishing the daily business in the morning, he went back to the house for dinner at noon. In the afternoon, he went to the Jinshui Wharf outside the city with the left and right prime ministers to check the newly collected taxes this year.

When playing chess with Yan Yunkai last night, Yan Yunkai hadn't mentioned the matter of checking taxes. Today, he suddenly wanted to leave the city together with the left and right prime ministers. Zhao Ji guessed that there might be some urgent matter.

After learning about Yan Yunkai's situation, Zhao Ji could only tell Steward Xing with a little regret, "If brother Jinghe can return to the National Teacher's Mansion before dark, please tell him to come to my house for dinner. If If you come back after dark, don't let him toss back and forth, and don't go to my house at night, now that the weather is getting colder, let him have a good rest."

Zhao Ji is not a vexatious lover, and he doesn't want Yan Yunkai to come to see him when he is busy with business.In that case, he would not feel at ease. Although the Zhao family had a good meal tonight, Zhao Ji wanted to eat with Yan Yunkai very much.

Housekeeper Xing knew the relationship between Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai, so he respectfully agreed, "Master Zhao, don't worry, I will report to Master when he comes back."

After Zhao Ji finished instructing Steward Xing, he got into the carriage facing the cold wind. Chen Xing wrapped himself tightly in a new big padded jacket, whipped his whip and drove the poor horse towards Dong'an Street and ran.

Zhao Ji wanted to go home before dark, and have dinner with Mrs. Xiao, Jiang Xu and the others.

Before going out in the morning, Mrs. Xiao told Zhao Ji that the family would gather around to eat mutton hot pot tonight, and told him to go home before dinner no matter what.

Zhao Ji readily agreed at the time.

Therefore, even though the workshop had to slaughter pigs and sheep to celebrate tonight because of the refining of quartz glass, he did not stay to celebrate together.Instead, he returned to the city immediately after the second furnace of glass was practiced.

People in Jian'an City love to eat mutton. Mutton hot pot is the way to eat here in Jian'an City. The weather here is colder than Huizhou Prefecture in the south. After October, the weather gets colder every day. If the basin is placed outside the door, it will freeze, but it has not snowed recently, and it is dry and cold.

In such weather, the whole family sits around to eat mutton hot pot, and the taste should be good when I think of it.

Even though Zhao Ji had never eaten mutton hot pot in modern times, he was still looking forward to the meal tonight. This kind of cold weather is really suitable for the whole family to sit together.

It's a pity that Yan Yunkai might not go to his house to eat hot pot together.

The carriage galloped all the way to the entrance of the alley where Zhao Ji was sitting, and finally slowed down. Chen Xing lifted the neck that was shrunk into the padded jacket, and rubbed his frozen face with the hand holding the whip. When he looked up, he saw the maid next to Mrs. Xia. Butterfly ran towards her.

For some reason, Cai Die wore a cloak of opinion, a dusty color, a black felt hat on her head, and deliberately lowered her head. If she was not familiar with someone, it would be easy to ignore her.

Cai Die is an excellent spy. She quickly noticed Chen Xing's gaze. She looked up and saw Chen Xing suddenly. The colleagues stationed in the teahouse at the alley asked for help.If it was normal time, she would only need to hand over a document at the back door after nightfall.

I didn't expect to run into Chen Xing, Chen Xing didn't know her identity, and when Caidie didn't know how to explain, Chen Xing took the lead and said, "Caidie girl, what are you doing sneaking out dressed like this, do you want to be a fugitive?" Slave. Old madam, madam, young master is very kind to you, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to them, why is this so. "

When Zhao Ji lifted the curtain of the car, he heard Chen Xing's last sentence very unscrupulously, "Little girl, do you have a love brother and want to elope with someone?"

Zhao Ji saw the angry eyes of Cai Die, raised his hand and patted Chen Xing's arm hard.

Chen Xing is good at everything, but he doesn't talk about it.

After Chen Xing calmed down, Zhao Ji turned to Cai Die and said, "Brother Jing He has already told me about your matter. If there is anything urgent, you can tell me."

Cai Die secretly observed Zhao Ji's expression, and was relieved to see that his expression was normal.The superior didn't tell him that Zhao Ji already knew his identity, and when he was discovered suddenly, he thought he would be punished.

Since Zhao Ji knew that he was a spy, even if there was punishment from above, it would not be too severe. She glanced at Chen Xing next to her and said, "It is inconvenient for others to know about this."

Zhao Ji didn't make things difficult for her, he returned to the car and said, "After you go back, go to the study to talk back."

"Yes." Cai Die promised very seriously, then quickened her pace, no longer concealed her figure, and ran in the direction of Zhao's house, her speed was not inferior to the galloping carriage.

Because the alley was narrow, Caidie went back to Zhao's house first, and when Zhao Ji arrived at the study, Caidie was already waiting for him in a light green jacket.

After Zhao Ji took a seat behind the desk, Caidie truthfully told Zhao Ji what she found difficult.

It turned out that Tao Ming, whom he had met at Zhenwuguan yesterday, had sneaked into Xia's house over the wall, and hid in the empty guest room of Xia's house to peep.

After lunch today, people from An Glass came to the Zhao family. Mrs. Xia felt that there were so many people in a mess, and it was difficult for the family to deal with all the female relatives. She ordered Huang Qi and Yang Xiaoer to watch at home. She took Mrs. Xiao and Jiang Xu went to Xia's house to play, and Cai Die went with her.

There was nothing abnormal in the first half of the afternoon, but in the second half of the afternoon, Tao Ming, who had slept in the guest room, secretly looked at Xia Lian'er through the crack of the door.His gaze was very eager, even though he hid in the dark, he was quickly spotted by Cai Die.

At that time, the old lady Xia who was playing cards, and Xia Lian'er who was discussing poetry with Jiang Xu didn't notice it at all. The butterfly didn't disturb them, and they left the living room and quietly made a detour to the back window of the guest room under the pretext of needing a relief.

Tao Ming stared straight at Xia Lian'er in the living room, suddenly felt a dull pain and lost consciousness.After Caidie knocked Tao Ming unconscious, she trapped his hands and feet, gagged his mouth and locked him in the guest room, but she didn't know what to do with him.

Cai Die said to Zhao Ji, "There are traces of sleeping on the bed. Judging from the traces of climbing over the wall, he should have entered Xia's house in the morning and took a nap in the guest room. He is the young master of the Yasukuni Mansion, and he secretly The one who came to spy on Miss Biao, for the sake of Miss Biao's reputation, the subordinates did not show it off, but they didn't know what to do, so they rushed to report to the people above."

After Caidie stunned Tao Ming, she left Xia's house on the pretext of going home to fetch a cloak for Mrs. Xia.

After listening to Cai Die's narration, Zhao Ji ordered with a cold face, "You first deliver a letter to the people in the National Teacher's Mansion, and then send my grandma's cloak. Say I'm back, please come over with my cousin After the Xia family has left, let someone pick Tao Ming out. Lock him up in a dark room first, don't beat him, don't scold him, just ignore him, lock him up for a day, he will learn a lesson. "

Tao Ming, who Zhao Ji thought would cause no trouble, turned out to be not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

He should not underestimate the emotional impulse of young people, let alone have confidence in the moral standards of ancient people.Those moral constraints are all set up for women, and no one asks men to abide by them.

In any case, Tao Ming needs a lesson, and maybe he can grow into a good person.
