I farmed in ancient times

After the palace obtained the glass formula, the Ministry of Industry immediately assigned several people to study the glass formula full-time. They collected materials with great enthusiasm. After dozens of failures, they actually made colorful glass.

Jiang Jinnian asked Jueming to see the newly produced cyan glass, and Jueming readily agreed. He waited for Jiang Jinnian on Nanmen Street, and the two went to the special glass department of the Ministry of Industry.

Jueming noticed that Jiang Jinnian seemed to be wearing an official robe today, and it was still purple.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinnian also held an official position while being a businessman, no wonder he could speak in front of officials.

The glass department is a large empty yard, with two rows of houses built close to the base of the wall. In the center is a one-story earthen kiln, and someone is constantly filling it with charcoal.

The temperature of charcoal is much higher than that of firewood, and the courtyard is full of heat. Beside the kiln, there are many messy tools. Jueming saw a row of large pieces of glass in the courtyard.

Seeing Jiang Jinnian approaching, a man in a green official robe bowed his hands to Jiang Jinnian and took him to the room to see the finished product.

Jueming followed to see, and the room was full of books-sized, square glass, all framed by wooden frames, neatly stacked together.

The man took out the glass and put it under the sun. It was colorful and colorful.

Only a few months have passed, and the Ministry of Industry was able to completely remove the impurities in the glass. Now there is almost no difference except that the color is not as transparent as in later generations.

"It's so beautiful." Jue Ming stroked the glass and sighed. The Ministry of Industry Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, never thought they could create so many colors.

In addition to such flat glass, there are many glass bottles and bowls, and the master even pulled out a glass hairpin.

Seeing another batch of molten glass being fired in the clay kiln, Juiming was tempted to ask Jiang Jinnian if he could have some for fun.

This recipe was provided by Cassia Ming, so why not give him more to play with?Jiang Jinnian nodded, and immediately someone took Cassia Ming to the kiln.

There is a large water tank for fire prevention in the corner of the courtyard. Jue Ming asked the glass blower for an iron rod, picked up a few lumps of glass liquid, mixed them, and saw that they could be drawn, he hurriedly ran to the water tank. The liquid shook tremblingly on the head of the iron rod, and just reached the top of the water tank, just in time to fall.

The glass liquid splashed a few drops with a "boom", and Jue Ming returned the iron rod to the master, rolled up his sleeves and put his feet on his feet to reach into the glass tank, Zhong Xin was busy protecting him from the side, preventing him from falling into it.

Cassia picked it up, came out of the water, and opened his palm. A drop-shaped bead faintly refracted light in the palm. The bottom of the drop was blue, and the upper part was radiant, captivating.

"Can someone find a rope to string it together?" Jiang Jinnian asked kindly, and Caesar showed him the bead in his palm, "Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know." Jiang Jinnian said, "But it's pretty pretty."

"Excuse me." Jueming handed Rupert's tears to Jiang Jinnian. Jiang Jinnian held them carefully in his palm and gave them to the people from the Ministry of Industry to ask them to help put on a rope.

It was successful the first time, and Jue Ming tried several times excitedly, but it was not as good as the first time.

When the two were about to leave, the people from the Ministry of Industry returned Rupert’s Tears, which had been stringed together. The rope was woven with silk, which was extremely tough. Protect the most vulnerable part of Rupert's Tears tail.

When pulling the Rupert's Tears, Jue Ming didn't expect that a small ring would be pulled out on the upper part, just enough to string a rope into it.

At the intersection of South Street, the two said goodbye. Jiang Jinnian said, "On the [-]th, the boat departs from Bianjing and transfers to the fleet in Mizhou."

Cassia: "Okay, I will go there on time."

Watching Jiang Jinnian leave, Jue Ming returns home.

The bright moon and stars are flying in the sky, and the wind in June gently blows over the grass and trees.

Cassia Ming sat under the eaves, holding two oil lamps, and carefully stroked his notes. Wang Ergou sat beside him, listening carefully to every word Cassia Ming said.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhong Xin stood far outside the archway, while the warm wind brought the buzzing of insects, and from time to time, the deep voice of Cassia Ming drifted with the wind.

Zhong Xin couldn't understand a single word.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." Jue Ming let out a long breath, and patted Wang Ergou's shoulder with relief, "After I leave, please take care of Cen's residence."

"Boss!" Wang Ergou stood up, "Why do you say that again! I don't want to take care of you, but you have to take care of yourself."

It sounds like you're angry, but you actually don't want to go out by yourself?Caesar raised his hand and pressed, Wang Ergou sat down, Caesar asked: "You really don't plan to change your name?"

Wang Ergou shook his head, "The name was chosen by my parents, and it is the only thought my parents left for me."

Jueming nodded, "It's nothing to worry about. You can have some snacks at the winery. If you're in doubt, just ask my father."

"I'll talk about the rest when I get back."

"En!" Wang Ergou drank the tea in the tea bowl, got up and said goodbye, "Master, I'm leaving."

"I'll send you off." Jueming got up, sent Wang Ergou away from the Shangshu Mansion, turned back to the small table, looked through his notes, made sure that there were no omissions, and wrote the titles of the books one by one on the cover of the book with a small script.

Stars and Han are shining together, insects are singing one after another, the lights in Bianjing gradually go out, the lights in Cen Daonian's courtyard are extinguished, and the lights in Cen Chao'an's courtyard are also extinguished.

One person, carrying a dim yellow lantern, stopped in front of Zhumen, picked up the copper ring and knocked on the door lightly.

Soon, someone came to inquire, and the person answered his name and purpose, and soon the door opened.

Sierbang carried the lantern, and Li Xiurong followed him towards Jueming's small courtyard with steady steps.

In the distance, a mass of warm lights emerge from the courtyard

—He is not asleep yet.

Li Xiurong's expression remained the same, he followed the boy around the corridor, walked through the archway and entered the small courtyard without haste.

Now it is June, when a hundred flowers are in full bloom, the sleeping face illuminated by the orange lights on the clusters of flowers and under the eaves can make the flowers lose their color.

——I still can't let him go.

Li Xiurong missed a beat in his heart, seeing Zhong Xin wanted to call out Cassia Ming, he quickly raised his hand to stop it.Stepping lightly to his side, Li Xiurong took the brocade cloak from Zhong Xin and slowly put it on his shoulders.

Something fell on his shoulders, Jue Ming opened his eyes in a daze, saw Li Xiurong coming, his drowsiness fell away, he gathered the cloak on his shoulders, and asked: "Why are you here at this time?"

"It's not too busy during the day." Li Xiurong pouted, "Why are you leaving so soon? Don't stay at home for more time?"

"I don't have anything to do at home." Jueming reached for the small tea bowl, but the tea in the tea bowl was already cold, so he could only reach out his hand.

Li Xiurong sat sideways, with one arm resting on the table and half of his face in his hand, he looked at Caesar seriously, "Can't we stay a little longer?"

"It's back."

Uncomfortable being stared at by him, Jue Ming got up, put on a cloak and took a teapot to find Zhong Xin, and asked him to run to find a servant to pour hot tea.

There were only two people left in the courtyard.

"By the way, this is for you." Jueming went back to the house and took out a black box, "I made it casually, and it looks pretty good."

"What?" Li Xiurong took it curiously, "Can I open it and have a look?"

"Look, it's not something valuable..." Jue Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed to take it out, but Li Xiurong already had it in his hand, so it was hard to grab it.

Li Xiurong opened the box, reflected the light of the oil lamp, and saw the colorful beads in the box, "You made it?"

Jueming nodded embarrassedly, "It is."

——The beads made by Caesar Ming himself are really pretty.

Containing the smirk on his face, Li Xiurong closed the box with a "snap", nodded solemnly, "Yes, thank you for your kindness, then I will accept it."

Li Xiurong: "When are you leaving?"

"June [-]th, Chen Shi." Jue Ming said, "It's still the same place."

Li Xiurong nodded and put the box away, "Then I'm leaving, and I'll see you off when the time comes."

The control of the Imperial Army is relatively strict, and Li Xiurong rarely has time to rest, so there is no need to send it off.

The words came to his lips but failed to come out, Caesar nodded, "Okay."

On June [-]th, Yin Shizheng.

Before the moon set and the sparse stars were faint, Cassia woke up.

Father Cen still has to go to court today, Jue Ming advised him not to ask for leave just because he was going out, but to get up early, and the father and son said goodbye at the door.

Seeing that it was still early, Jueming went to the stables and stroked Taxue's mane. This time he was traveling far away and it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so Taxue had to stay at home.

As if he could sense his master's mood, Taxue raised his head and snorted, and gently rubbed his head against Cassia.

Maoshi, dawn, today there is no sun, the sky is gloomy.

Cen Chaoan also got up, and after washing up, he couldn't wait to run to the main hall. Seeing his brother sitting in the main hall drinking tea, he reluctantly sat beside him, took his brother's hand and told him to be careful on the road.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Jue Ming stood up, "I'm leaving."

Cen Chaoan let go of his hand, "Brother, I'll see you off."

"You still have to go to school." Jue Ming patted his head, "I don't know if I can catch up with your exam this fall."

"It's okay, Wang Erhu can pass the exam, so can I!" Cen Chaoan took his brother's hand off, "Just leave the house to me, you can go and have a look at it at ease, and tell me the story when you come back."

"Okay." Jue Ming went to the door, Zhong Xin had already rented a carriage, Jue Ming glanced at the door, but the man didn't come.

Probably due to some delays, Jue Ming waited for a quarter of an hour before getting into the carriage and said to the driver, "You can go."

The wheels ran over the bluestone road, Jue Ming turned his head, and Cen Chaoan waved vigorously at the door, with tears shining faintly.

The carriage turned a corner and the line of sight was blocked.

All the way out of the city, through the Suzaku Gate, passing by the garden, Jueming sat on the bumpy carriage, counting the time, probably arriving before Chen Shi.

"Cassia—"

"Cassia—"

The sound came from far to near, and Jue Ming thought he was hallucinating, Zhong Xin turned his head to look, and said, "It's from Li Guan."

Jueming stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage. Li Xiurong reined in the reins. The black horse raised its front hooves high and swung its tail. The young man on the horse didn't panic at all. When the horse's four hooves fell to the ground, he turned over beautifully. Get off the horse.

"I'll see you off." Li Xiurong pursed his lips, and colorful Rupert's tears fell from his neckline, shining brightly on the green official robe.

"You're really here." Jueming said, "If you're too busy, you don't have to..."

There was a dull thunder in the sky, and the sky became darker and darker. Seeing the pavilion not far away, Jue Ming asked, "Go to the pavilion and sit? It's going to rain."

Li Xiurong nodded, and the two walked towards the pavilion side by side, only to hear the thunder rolling in the sky, but no raindrops fell.

Looking at his profile, Li Xiurong thought of a sentence.

But I hope that when the wind and rain come, I can keep you here.

The author has something to say: faint thunder, cloudy sky, but I hope that the wind and rain will come, and I can keep you here;

Faint thunder, cloudy sky, even if there is no rain, I will stay here.
