[Moriarty of Worrying about the Country] Descartes Formula

If she wanted to make money, the girl looked at her hands and the barren house, and sure enough, she would start with the nobleman. After all, the nobleman should be able to buy medicine for a long time if he just throws a gold coin at random.As for surgery, with the level of medicine in this era, the girl is really worried. Surgery is life and death, so it's better to take some medicine to curb it.

Under the impatient expression of the doctor in the small town, the girl endured slight social fear and embarrassment, and asked what kind of disease Louis was in and the price of the medicine to treat this disease.

Mentioning this doctor, he proudly shook the small medicine in his hand, "This is an exclusive secret recipe passed down to me by my cousin who is a private doctor of the nobility. It is very effective in treating heart disease. Why, do you want to buy it?" Wearing that doctor's uniform, he has a bad expression like a gangster. He likes to see poor people who want to buy medicine but can't afford it. It's very bad. Although I know this guy's character, the girl still plans to buy medicine here. In case she offended someone and the medicine was changed, she couldn't harm Louis.

So the girl suppressed her distaste, and tried her best to show a smile that is rarely seen on weekdays, making her delicate face a little more pleasing to the eye, "Yes, you are such a powerful doctor, and you have such a good cousin, you are really amazing, a nobleman. Private doctor, I’m so envious. Of course, doctor, you are also very respected and welcomed by everyone in our small town. Unfortunately, we don’t have many nobles here. Otherwise, when they see your medical skills, they will definitely make you theirs too. private doctor."

The girl who doesn't know how to flatter is a bit blunt when she wants to say something good at this moment. Fortunately, the doctor has an average brain and doesn't care about this kind of thing, but he is very happy to be blown up, "Seeing that you are average-looking, you speak very nicely. So Well, as long as you can afford the price, I'll sell it to you."

The girl looked at the price, estimated it silently, nodded and said, "I'll go home and see if I can save some money, and I'll come to the doctor when I have enough money!" The girl's full respect satisfied the doctor's vanity, He didn't say anything about poor people, so don't buy medicine to waste time, and waved the girl away.

Afterwards, the girl went to her familiar neighbor, the blacksmith shop, "Grandpa Will, do you have steel wire here?" The sickle, the ground is covered with various iron farm tools and some daily necessities.He glanced at the girl and felt that she was just asking casually, so he replied without paying much attention.

"I want to buy a little and make some things." The girl touched the pennies on her body. She didn't know if steel wire was expensive in this era, but she should be able to buy it according to the prices around her.The girl bought daily necessities and food in this small town, and the prices were quite normal.

In fact, what the girl wants is a 3mm wire, but I don't know if that kind of thing is available in this era. After all, the technology is not good enough, and even if it is, it will be expensive, so the girl can only settle for the next best thing.

"Oh? How much do you want to buy?" It was probably the money that the girl took out that made Will confirm that the girl was serious. He also stopped his work and took a bundle of steel wire.The girl gestured and took it twice. The steel wire was still a little rough, and it hurt her fingers, but the girl didn't care. "Oh, this, 5 pence." Will said casually, the girl frowned a little distressed, but she still found five pieces of change on her body and gave it to him.

"Grandpa Will, can I borrow some tools, and I'll return them to you before this afternoon." It's all neighbors, so it's okay to borrow some tools, and Will moved away to let the girl go in to find things.After a while, the girl came out with some tools, tweezers, pliers, and abrasive stones.Looking for small tweezers, she couldn't find them, so the girl could only make do with them. There was no abrasive paper, and an abrasive stone was used instead.

That's why girls are salty fish. Even if they want to do something, they often can't find the right tool, and the effect of the substitute will be much worse.Fortunately, what she is going to do now is not complicated, as long as she is serious and patient, she should be able to do it.

After borrowing the tools, the girl took two coils of steel wire and went home.In the shop, the sunlight poured in during the day, and it wasn't very warm. After all, it was winter, but at least the room was much brighter. William sat in the sunlight and read a book.

He raised his head when he heard the sound of footsteps, his blond hair swayed accordingly, very dazzling, his red eyes were full of doubts, "Sister, what are you doing?" But he still put down the book and wanted to take the tool from the girl's hand and steel wire.

The girl quickly waved her hand, "No, you should read the book carefully and learn more things. What I have to do is not technical, so I can do it myself." Seeing that the girl didn't mean to be reluctant, William also sat back, but still From time to time, she cast curious glances, she was still a child after all, the girl who noticed the gaze silently said something in her heart.

The girl held the frosted stone in one hand and untied the coiled steel wire with the other, stepped on it under her feet, and then began to polish it with the abrasive stone from one side.The steel wire is still too rough at present, it is fine if it is not as thin as 3mm, if it is too rough, it will scratch the wire, and it is easy to break the wire, which will not look good at that time.

After polishing all afternoon, the girl turned all the steel wires into a very smooth one. After touching it with her hands, there was no roughness. Similarly, the steel wires became thinner, and then she estimated the size with pliers. The steel wire was cut off with pliers, and after a while there were several steel wires of similar length on the table.

Then the girl got up and took out some cardboard pieces that she had collected earlier. These were all damaged book covers. The books had long since disappeared. Only the book covers were left. The girl simply kept them. Book covers in this country are always very hard. It can be completely peeled off into several pieces of hard paper, and then the scissors were taken from the side table.

Pens are used by nobles, and they are rarely found in poor families. The girl did not intend to draw, so she stacked several pieces of hard paper and cut them all at once with scissors. After a while, a few "petals" fell on the table .

Then there is the pure white silk thread borrowed from another tailor shop. The girl also has silk thread in stock at home. After all, she needs to repair clothes, but this kind of pure white silk thread is really rare, so she can only borrow it.Fortunately, this thing consumes less material.

Folding the cut steel wire and paper petals together, the girl took out the silk thread that had been split into two strands and wrapped them around the paper.

William closed the book after dark, took a chair and sat next to the girl, watching her behavior curiously, while Louis saw her sister was busy, and was very diligent in preparing meals, some rough bread added Serve with very diluted porridge.

Girls do this with ease. In the previous world, this kind of thing was called entanglement.All kinds of flowers can be made with silk thread, iron wire, and paper patterns, which are very beautiful.

Whether you are aristocrats or commoners, women always earn the best money. Similarly, women's hearts are softer. Girls know that nobles often go to the small town next door, because there is a school for the poor, and the nobles perform the duties of the nobles. When volunteering, I usually like to use the method of charity. Sending some books, food, and donating money to poor schools is considered charity that can be boasted on weekdays.

Among those nobles, there is a female nobleman who is very famous, because when the girl went to the next town, she heard other noble ladies talking about her. She seemed to be a duchess. Philanthropist.It seems that even if the nobles fulfill their noble duties and do charity, they really just float on the surface of the water and don't take it seriously. They even despise those who really do charity, and even their status can't stop their mouths.

However, this allowed the girl to be sure that the duchess was an aristocrat who could be contacted, not other aristocrats who regarded all commoners as garbage.

While thinking about the future plan in her heart, the girl's hand didn't stop at all. In 10 minutes, a petal was formed. The steel wire was twisted into the edge of the petal by the pliers. The shape of the steel wire is not revealed.

"Brother, sister, it's time to eat." Louis came over with porridge and bread, and the girl responded while finishing the second petal in her hand.

"Wow, that's amazing, sister, it looks like real flower petals." Louis first praised the girl, and then turned to William, hoping to win his approval. William also nodded, "Is my sister going to make handicrafts and sell them to nobles?"

Aristocrats always like unique patterns and beautiful flowers, which are things that women will not refuse. William can see the girl's plan at a glance.The girl nodded, quickly picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in one go. After all, there are not many rice grains, so there is no need to worry about choking, but she is easy to be hungry at night. "Does sister not eat bread?" Louis looked suspiciously at the girl who was about to start again. She looked like she was working, but the bread didn't move at all, "I'm not hungry, you can eat." The girl replied casually.

Gaining William's softer eyes, "Sister must be worried that we won't have enough to eat, so she specially left it for us." He didn't say it out, for fear that it would make the girl feel embarrassed, William just silently thought that he would earn more in the future Money to feed the whole family.

In fact, the girl was not lying, she really couldn't eat such unpalatable bread, even with porridge, anyway, just eat a little to cope with it.

After it was completely dark, the girl also stopped what she was doing. After all, it was too dark to see, and she was worried about burning the silk thread beside the candle. "Sleep, Louis, William." Putting down the things, the girl closed the door, and the three of them squeezed into the narrow room again.

"I said." The girl who couldn't sleep for no reason in the middle of the night opened her eyes and said, "What's the matter, sister." The two children were not asleep at all, probably still hungry.

"Listen to stories?" "Okay! Sister, you can tell stories!" Louis was the first to raise his hand in agreement, and William was very surprised, "Aren't sisters tired during the day? Could it be too..."

"Hey, it won't be tiring to tell a story, just lie down and listen to it." The girl exuded the air of the head of the family, and the two of them immediately pulled up the quilt obediently, their eyes looked curiously and expectantly. girl.

Looking at the two young girls with similar faces looking at her like this, the girl almost couldn't open her mouth. "Ahem." After coughing, the girl began to talk, "This is a statue of the Happy Prince and the story of the swallow."

It's the story of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince. Although it is very sad, it should be a story that fits the current time period.

"Once upon a time there was a prince who only knew how to enjoy himself. He never cared about the outside world. People called him "Happy Prince". After his death, people erected his statue in the city, but let him see the city. One day, a little swallow who was going to spend the winter in Egypt fell in love with him, and the Happy Prince hoped that it would give the ruby ​​on its sword handle to the sick little boy to ease his pain.

On the second day, the swallow was about to set off again. Under the prince's begging, it had to cry and gave the prince's eyes to the poor young man, and gave the prince's only other eye to the little match seller. girl.After finishing all this, Swallow decided to stay with her beloved Happy Prince forever.And the prince again asked it to give the pure gold leaf on its body to the poor, and the statue of the prince lost all its luster immediately.At this time, the swallow was finally forced to the end of its life by the severe cold. After kissing the lips of the Happy Prince, it died at his feet.

When the Happy Prince saw the little Swallow dying at his feet, his leaden heart was split in two.The Happy Prince, without any decoration, was finally abandoned by the townspeople, and the workers melted him in the furnace, and threw the unmelted lead heart on the rubbish heap. "

The girl talked and watched the two children fall asleep before slowly telling the ending of the story.

God said to one of his angels, "Bring me the two most precious things in that city." The angel brought him the leaden heart and the dead swallow. "You have chosen rightly. In my garden in Paradise the little bird will sing forever, and in my city of gold the Happy Prince will praise me," said God.

Louis' sleeping face was very cute, and he even made a small humming sound. William was sleeping as if he was having a good dream, showing an elegant and warm smile. The girl looked away and closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

"Only princes and swallows who can live in the City of God." After the girl closed her eyes, William said these words slowly.

The author has something to say:

1 gold coin means 1 British pound. There is no name for this money in the anime. Only gold coins, silver coins, and probably copper coins appear. So I take it as the corresponding three grades of pounds, shillings, and pence. the money.The prices at that time when Baidu checked may be a bit inaccurate, right? In 1865, 1 British pound was equivalent to 2015 yuan in 729, and 1 British pound was equal to 20 shillings. After conversion, 1 shilling was equal to 36 yuan, 1 shilling was equal to 12 pence, and 1 penny was equal to 3 yuan.
