Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan
Chapter 184 Ma Jiawencai ( )
"From what Brother Dong is saying, there seems to be a way to avoid sharing a bed," Ma Wencai asked Dong Zhixin with interest.
"What method do I have?" Dong Zhixin tapped the table lightly and said, "It's just a method to reconnect with the old academy."
Ancient houses had wooden planks and paper windows, which naturally didn't allow for as much light as modern glass windows. It was impossible to install bunk beds like in modern dormitories, accommodating at least six people.
Ancient windows were all pushed open from the inside out and supported by struts, so the amount of light coming in from the outside was limited.
If the doors and windows are not opened, the whole room is rather dark. Although Ma Wencai may not be a diligent and hardworking person, only by perfectly solving the lighting problem can he persuade the headmaster to carry out a complete renovation of the entire hospital.
In fact, the lighting problem could be solved by replacing the traditional inward-opening doors and windows with left-right sliding doors and windows. However, inward-opening doors and windows are a feature of ancient architecture, and Dong Zhixin does not want to change the traditional architectural features because of himself.
Dong Zhixin, after all, has the soul of a modern person and has seen a lot of things. She immediately thought of a type of window from the past.
While it also opens from the inside out, unlike ancient windows which were pushed open from the bottom up, there are certain angle limitations when supporting the window to stand upright.
This type of window is divided into left and right sides, and can be pushed open from the middle to both sides. When the window is opened to its maximum extent, it can completely expose the outside to the outside, allowing as much light as possible to enter the room.
Moreover, these windows come with built-in support rods with rings of different lengths that can be fastened to protrusions on the side of the window, ensuring that no matter how wide the window is opened, strong winds will not close it.
If asked what era this type of window originated from, Dong Zhixin naturally wouldn't remember. He probably saw it in a period drama he watched before.
While modifying windows might seem easy in modern times, it was quite troublesome in ancient times. It mainly required skilled carpentry, and these tasks couldn't be completed in just a day or two.
Of course, neither changing to bunk beds nor replacing windows and renovating dormitories can be completed in just two days.
Fortunately, Dong Zhixin didn't think too much about it. He simply dipped his tea in the water and drew a simple sketch of a bunk bed on the table, saying, "Brother Ma, look at this bed. One person sleeps on the top bunk and the other on the bottom bunk. They are roommates, but each has their own bed. Isn't that wonderful?"
Ma Wencai looked at the pattern on the table and his eyes lit up. He said, "Although this bed is a bit simple, it is wonderful."
Compared to the ancient thousand-craft canopy bed, this bunk bed is indeed rather rudimentary. Not to mention comparing it to the thousand-craft canopy bed, even compared to the wooden bed in the academy, this bunk bed is quite simple.
But everything is relative. No matter how simple the bunk bed is, it's still more comfortable than two people squeezing into one bed.
“I’ll go and ask the carpenter to make it and see how it goes,” Ma Wencai immediately decided.
Dong Zhixin smiled and waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Hey, Brother Ma. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone."
"Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone?" Ma Wencai paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right. It would be wonderful if this kind of bed could be promoted throughout the entire academy. Let's go find the headmaster."
Dong Zhixin quickly stood up and stopped Ma Wencai, saying, "Hey, Brother Ma, don't be in such a hurry! Just making a new bed is definitely not enough to persuade the headmaster to renovate the entire department!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai immediately turned to Dong Zhixin and asked, "Do you have some new gadgets up your sleeve?"
“Hey, I don’t have any particular interest. I just happened to see a kind of window.” Dong Zhixin said, drawing a rectangular frame with his hands.
"This window can be fully opened, and the entire interior..." Dong Zhixin couldn't think of any words to describe how bright the room was.
After all, while "windows bright and tables clean" describes a room that is tidy, clean, and bright, its origin is indeed from Hong Mai's "Yijian Zhi" in the Song Dynasty: "High halls and plain walls; no need for unfolding or rolling up; bright windows and clean tables; comfortable to sit and lie down."
The phrase "brightly lit" describes how lights and fires make the night extremely bright, which no longer aligns with the current situation.
After a long pause, Dong Zhixin finally uttered three words: "Extremely bright."
Although Ma Wencai didn't understand what Dong Zhixin meant by "fully opening up," he had gained some understanding of his new classmate after spending the day together—or rather, half a day together.
This new classmate looks gentle and weak, but he never fights a battle he can't win.
Whether it's a written exam on divination or something like bunk beds.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the window Dong Zhixin mentioned is definitely not simple.
Dong Zhixin looked around, but there was nothing handy to use for practicing. He was also feeling lazy and didn't want to go to his desk to get a calligraphy brush.
Dong Zhixin looked up at Ma Wencai, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and pulled the silver hairpin out of Ma Wencai's hair.
Ignoring Ma Wencai's reaction, Dong Zhixin immediately sat back down in his chair and said while gesturing, "Brother Ma, look."
Dong Zhixin placed his left hand on the table and held the hairpin in his right hand, with his hand resting against the table. He then gently pushed his left hand away with his right hand until it reached a 90-degree angle, and then put the hairpin down.
I wet my right hand and drew a line on my palm and the hairpin. Geometrically, the palm, the hairpin, and the line form a right triangle.
The stability of a triangular structure is self-explanatory in modern times, but it was inexplicable in ancient times.
However, if you can't explain it, you can let the facts speak for themselves.
