After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

After the grandparents had breakfast together, Xiao Song went to Xingqing Palace to meet Xuanzong.

Xiao Heng also immediately turned around, walked to Xiao Yansui's side, gently patted her head, and asked softly: "Liu Niang, does your hand still hurt?"

"Well, it feels okay?" Xiao Yansui tilted his head slightly, moved his fingers a little, and after feeling it, he replied: "As long as you don't move your fingers and scratch the wound, it's fine. It doesn't hurt much."

"That's good," Xiao Heng said after heaving a sigh of relief, "Let's go, I'll take you back, just rest in the house obediently for a few days, don't go out to play."

"I'll go too!" Xiao Wu jumped up from the chair and hurriedly followed.

Xiao Yansui looked at the two of them and blinked, "...I want to go to Auntie's first. Didn't she say yesterday that she would take me to Duke Yan's mansion to thank you?"

"Huh?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

Xiao Heng laughed instead, rubbed his sister's hair lightly, and explained carefully: "Aniang just said that, you still have injuries on your hands, how could she take you out for such a trip?" .I'll go there with Aniang later on."

"Really?" Xiao Yansui was not sure after hearing this.

She has always been of the nature of doing what she says. Yesterday, Mrs. Pei had made a promise, and Xiao Yansui would definitely do it herself. However, in the eyes of Mrs. Pei, Xiao Heng and others, the short man in Duke Yan's mansion Douding Zhang Dai is actually the same as her, children who are only five or six years old, adults can't be accurate when talking to them, and if they don't keep it right, it's funny.

Yesterday, the main purpose of Pei Shi and Zhang Dai's words was to convey to Zhang Dai's servants. It could be regarded as sending a letter to Duke Yan's mansion in advance, so as not to appear abrupt when she really went to visit.As for Xiao Yansui incidentally in the words, it was entirely because Zhang Dai was opposite her, and she said that casually like coaxing a child.

"Let's go, then let's go to Auntie's first." Xiao Heng smiled.

"Yes," Xiao Yansui nodded.

After a while, when the three brothers and sisters came all the way, a servant came back from the outside just in time to report back: "My lady, the invitation has been delivered to Duke Yan's mansion."

Pei nodded slightly.

Xiao Heng said: "When is Aunt planning to go to Yan Guogong's residence to thank you?"

"Five days later." Pei said softly, she had to find out who was behind it before she could rest assured.Turning her gaze, seeing Xiao Yansui and Xiao Wu also following, Mrs. Pei stretched out her hand to beckon to her daughter, gently hugged her in her arms, and asked with concern: "I just used it at your Aunt's place." Have you had breakfast yet? Does the wound on your hand still hurt?"

Xiao Yansui shook his head again, "It doesn't hurt anymore," and said, "Ah Weng gave me a few bottles of good wound medicine."

Xiao Wu interjected: "After seeing Liu Niang's injuries, Ah Weng has already entered the palace to see the saint."

Pei's eyes shifted, and he said softly: "Ximing Temple is a quiet place of Buddhism after all, and it is also responsible for the royal family to build scriptures. The relationship between the monks in the temple and the royal family of Li and Tang has always been involved. We must carefully investigate Ximing Temple. It is more appropriate for the saint to speak in person."

Otherwise, when Xiao Yansui's disappearance was just discovered yesterday, Mrs. Pei had already turned Ximing Temple upside down, so why would she have been waiting in the monastery, sitting in a sad city.

Xiao Yansui was suddenly stunned, and finally understood why after Mrs. Pei found her yesterday, her first reaction was to take her home first, instead of turning around and going back to investigate Ximing Temple...

"However, it has been a whole day since the incident happened, and that group of people left some traces in Ximing Temple. After this period of time has passed, will those clues have been covered up or even destroyed?" Xiao Yan Sui asked somewhat uncertainly.

Mrs. Pei smiled lightly, with a particularly reserved and elegant calmness, and said slowly: "Such a big event happened yesterday—my daughter of the Xiao family was almost plotted against by bad people in Ximing Temple. I made an explanation, the Xiao family didn't make things difficult for him at the time, it was because of a saint, not because he was a monk who became a monk! In this way, to clear his innocence, Master Daojue will definitely treat him these few days Strict control from top to bottom in the temple, until the final conclusion of this matter is overturned!"

"..." Xiao Yansui, who only wanted to protect the scene of the first crime yesterday and prevent the clues from being destroyed.

However, Xiao Heng next to him put his hand on his younger sister's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "What are you doing worrying about so many things? Liu Niang, you should heal your wounds obediently these few days, and wait until the wounds heal." After that, I will take you out for an outing?"

"I'm going too!" Xiao Wu yelled immediately.

"You have to study." Xiao Heng gave Goro the same look.

Pei and Xiao Heng almost said in unison: "Goro, have you finished your homework?"

Xiao Wulang: QAQ! !

"..." Because of his young age, Xiao Yansui, who usually does nothing but memorize some classic classical Chinese, suddenly couldn't help shivering, inexplicably thinking that he will grow up a little later So, will Xiao Song, Pei Shi, and the others push themselves to study and take exams every day-especially when they ask questions, they still like to speak classical Chinese like a bible!

The Tang Dynasty was still in the early days of the imperial examination system, and there were more than 50 subjects in the imperial examination, including scholar, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu.

Among them, Mingshu is almost the mathematics subject of later generations.

Xiao Yansui couldn't figure it out, why everyone rushed to take the exam of Ming Jing, and Ming Suan, the cornerstone of natural science, was always ignored in the Tang Dynasty and even in the feudal dynasties of later generations. Discriminate against science students? (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

In the Xingqing Palace, Xu Guogong Xiao Song was very angry when he came all the way, but when he saw Xuanzong, he suddenly choked up, thinking of the several deep wounds on his precious granddaughter's hand, he was even more angry. The unbearable eyes were full of tears, filled with grief and indignation.

Not to mention, Xiao Song's violent temper, after he himself elected Han Xiu as his prime minister, whenever the two disagreed, he would quarrel directly in front of Xuanzong, even Xuanzong himself, had rarely seen such old tears as Xiao Song Zongheng's pitiful appearance was so startled by Xiao Song that he asked repeatedly: "Why is Xiao Gong like this?"

For a moment, several courtiers of the same court and Prince Li Heng looked sideways.Seeing that Xiao Song had such a big reaction today, Li Linfu, who had a hand in Ximing Temple but didn't know the specific situation on Xiao Yansui's side, felt even more "thud".

After Xuanzong kept urging, Xiao Song finally agreed to open his mouth. He said in a hateful voice yesterday that in the Ximing Temple, someone actually tried to plot against his granddaughter. He also said that it was thanks to his granddaughter who escaped by chance, and happened to meet the people in the Duke of Yan's mansion. This is not unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of thieves.

For a while, Zhang Yue, who was originally watching from the sidelines, also moved his eyelids slightly, squinting his eyes and glanced at Xiao Song.

Knowing that Li Chu, Li Wenning and Li Tan also went to Ximing Temple to enjoy the spring outing yesterday, Crown Prince Li Heng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.Since he was established as the prince by Xuanzong, he has been subjected to political attacks from Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu, and has been attacked and framed many times. At this time, this kind of thing happened again. Li Heng almost calculated subconsciously. Is the person going up to Xu Guogong's mansion, or is Mingxiu plank road secretly hiding in Chen Cang, and there is another conspiracy behind him...

Xiao Yansui stayed with Mrs. Pei for a while before being sent back by her elder brother Xiao Heng. As for Xiao Wu, he was naturally taken to study by Mrs. Pei.

Early in the morning, Axiu had already laid out the list that Xiao Yansui asked her to prepare. Now that Xiao Yansui and Xiao Heng came back together, as soon as they entered the room, they saw the bits and pieces on the case. put a bunch of things.

When Xiao Heng saw it, he was immediately amused, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Liu Niang, what kind of tricks are you playing?"

He wanted to throw away the ampoule that was so broken that only the slender part of the mouth was left, lest Xiao Yansui accidentally hurt his hands from the broken porcelain.

"Don't, don't, don't," Xiao Yansui hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "I specially asked someone to prepare it!"

Axiu also explained in a low voice: "Don't worry Sanlang, the mouth of the bottle has been sanded and it's not sharp."

Xiao Heng just gave up, but still asked himself: "What is this for?"

"Fun stuff," Xiao Yansui said firmly. She had a wound on her hand and it was inconvenient to move, so she simply asked Axiu and the other two servant girls to help assemble it.

Xiao Heng looked at it for a while, but still didn't understand why, so he shook his head with a smile, just thinking that she was a child who suddenly came up with a new toy, and didn't think much about it.

However, when Xiao Yansui was immersed in the experiment, he was concentrating on it. Xiao Heng wanted to say hello to her, but found that his sister's reaction was half a beat slower than usual, so he couldn't help laughing, walked over and patted her lightly head, then turned and left.

"Put the teapot in the casserole, light the fire under the casserole, and heat it in a water bath—and don't let the water in the casserole boil." Xiao Yansui's order after order was clear, but he still treated Ah, who was meeting this kind of thing for the first time, Xiu and the other two servants were sweating profusely.

"Put shochu in the teapot. You don't need to fill it up. You can put half of the pot first! Axiu, go to the kitchen or somewhere, find a piece of leather that is softer, not fluffy, then cut the leather and use it. This wraps the teapot mouth and the ampoule, and tie it tightly so as not to let it breathe." Xiao Yansui sat on the low stool, staring at the movements of A Xiu and the others without blinking, and reminded him at any time.

——Because there are no glass tubes or rubber tubes at hand, I can only make do with the teapot spout as a glass tube and the leather as a rubber tube.

"Insert the other side of the ampoule into the wine jug, and wrap it with leather to keep it as airtight as possible." Xiao Yansui murmured, although the material is simple, but if it is set up like this, the Tang Dynasty copycat version The distillation equipment looks like that...

Xiao Yansui thought about it in a happy mood, then walked to the door, motioned to a maidservant in the yard and said: "Go get some ice cubes, break them a little."

After returning, Xiao Yansui continued to smile and said, "Put the cloth pocket on the condenser later—no, I mean around the neck of the ampoule, and then the ice cubes will come That’s right, just add ice to the cloth pocket!”

"That's almost it, now, cook the casserole!" Xiao Yansui said happily at the end.
