Back to the ancient favorite

The next day was bright, Prince Man was wearing a dark blue python robe and was about to go out. Xiliu rubbed his eyes and looked at Prince Man in the python robe, and suddenly became energetic.

"Wow, the lord looks good in this suit." He propped himself up from the bed and looked at the lord man up and down.

Prince Man put on his clothes and hung up the bead chain, walked to him with a smile, kissed his cheek and said, "This is the first time you have praised me."

"Before... have you never praised before?" Xiliu wiped her face with disgust.

The prince shook his head and buttoned his cuffs and replied, "No."

"Well...that's because I was too blind before, but now my eyes are shining." Xiliu said with her hands on her chest with a happy face.

The prince saw that he was in good spirits, so he kissed his forehead again: "Sleep for a while, this king will go to court first."

"Going to court? Did you come back very late?" Xiliu wiped her forehead again, blinked her big eyes and asked.

The prince nodded and smiled. In his eyes, Xiliu wiped his face and forehead with a pitiful look, and his heart couldn't help being excited.

"Okay, go early and come back early." Xiliu was so happy when he thought that he would go out for a day.

After the prince nodded, he stretched out his hand, clasped his head, then kissed his lips, got up, shook his sleeves and left.

Xiliu quickly wiped her mouth, frowning and looking at the distant figure.

"Kiss the madman." He complained, pulled the quilt and fell asleep again.

But when he thought that the prince would only come back at night, he was so excited that he finally got up after tossing and turning on the bed, only to find that he couldn't wear the clothes here at all.

Xiliu frowned while holding the two belts, but could only shout: "Lizi!"

"Here we come!" Xiaolizi rubbed her eyes and came out from behind the gauze curtain, Xiliu stared at the direction he came out with wide eyes: "You... sleep behind all night?"

"Ang." Lizi nodded innocently.

Xiliu couldn't believe it and asked again: "When the prince and I...um...you..."

"Don't dare, the lord kicked me out a long time ago. How dare I see what you guys are doing. Didn't you say that you are not allowed to touch you last night?" Lizi explained innocently, shaking her head and waving her hands.

Xiliu Baden looked at him and thought for a while, pointed at his nose and said, "You, you, you...you will sleep on the chair in the living room from now on. You are still underage, so you can't watch it."

"What is underage..., what did I see?" Lizi scratched her head and didn't understand what Xiliu was talking about.

But when Xiliu thought about it carefully, she was also underage!If you have to say that the person who was still an adult in this room just now is probably only a prince.

"In short! You will sleep on the wooden couch in the living room from now on! Do you understand!" Xiliu blinked and said with a blushing face.

Lizi could only scratch her head inexplicably and said, "Oh..."

After getting up, Xiliu went to the prince's study after washing. She ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one hand and made a sound of "hmm~" in enjoyment.

I picked up the brush and dipped it on the inkstone, and drew a big oval on the paper, but the brush was too difficult to turn, so I was not happy when I was painting.

"Test! What the hell." He dropped his pen heavily, sitting on the teacher's chair with his legs crossed, looking at the thing he drew that was the same as a ghost painting talisman.

"It seems that the uncle is going to find another way!" After speaking, Xiliu twirled her fingers subconsciously.

'Horse...I really want to have one. He looked at his fingers, and suddenly remembered something and stood up. After tearing off the first rice paper, he dipped his fingers in the ink.

Lizi, who was rubbing ink next to her, suddenly widened her eyes watching Xiliu's weird movements.

Xiliu used her nails as a pen to draw a straight line, and was very satisfied.

While drawing with his fingers, he said, "I'll make only a dip pen later, and the rest will stain my fingers."

"Oh..." Lizi thought he was talking to her and pandered to her, then looked at Xiliu's drawing, but was dumbfounded.

A cross plus two cylindrical things.

"Master... what is this?" Lizi asked with a frown.

Satisfied, Xiliu wiped her hands with the rice paper she just tore off and said, "Sandbag."

"Sand... bag?" Lizi tilted her head, becoming more and more confused.

Xiliu glanced at him and said, "Hey, Lizi, is there any carpenter in town?"

"Carpenter...there is one in the palace." Lizi replied with a blink of an eye.

"Great! Call him to Lao Tzu! Let him bring a wooden stick the thickness of chopsticks!" Xiliu clapped her hands happily, just as she was about to reach for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she saw herself holding a black hand, Decided to wash it first.

Taking advantage of Lizi's time to call the carpenter, Xiliu compares her height everywhere.

Now that I am 17 years old and can grow a few tens of centimeters, it should be no problem, so I have to set the height of the shelf.

He kept comparing the various shelves in the house, and Li Zi and the carpenter standing at the door watched him walk around, tiptoeing and thinking.

Until he confirmed that the height of the palace lantern was his ideal height.

"Master, the artisan has called for you." Seeing Xiliu smiling and looking at her with one hand touching her chin, Lizi quickly woke up the stunned person beside her.

"Oh, what's the master's order?" A middle-aged man in navy blue clothes and carrying a wooden toolbox bowed to Xiliu.

"What's the name of the master?" Xiliu always appreciated craftsmen, so he naturally greeted people with a smile.

"Ah no, young master... this is really annoying me. The young one is called Lu Heng, and he is a craftsman in the Mansion." Lu Heng lowered his head even more because of Xiliu's words of master.

"No, no, I am a man, appreciate the craftsman! You are welcome, come and sit, I need you to help me make something." Xiliu happily took his hand and let him sit on the master's chair.

Lu Heng was so frightened that his body stiffened and he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy and said: "Young Master...Young Master must not do it."

"Ah?" Xiliu saw him kneeling down for herself, so she pointed at him and asked Lizi, "What did you say to him, why are you so afraid of being like this?"

Lizi stepped on the spot with an innocent face: "I... I just said that the young master asked you to make some small objects, and brought a wooden stick like chopsticks. I... I didn't say anything else!"

Lu Heng trembled his hands and said: "The little one today is all dependent on the blessing of the Prince Man. Today you call me Master and let me be the chair of the Prince Man. What should I do for the little one?" said the last few Lu Heng almost cried when writing.

It was only then that Xiliu realized that in this era, craftsmen didn't have much status, and since he was a young master, he couldn't just call someone a master.

"All right, all right, ah... Lao Tzu's fault, Master Lu..., oh no, Lu..." Xiliu suddenly pouted and ran out of words, what is Lu, is he called Lu Xiao?

"The young master's name is Lu Heng." Lu Heng raised his head and said seeing his difficulty in opening his mouth.

"Okay, Lu Heng, bring the wooden stick first." Xiliu nodded and stretched out her hand to make a move.

Lu Heng knelt on the ground and took out the wooden stick from the wooden box and handed it to Xiliu.

Xiliu happily put it on the table and turned around and said: "Look, cut here, and then..." He paused, because Lu Heng was still kneeling, and no one was watching the incision he indicated, "You get up first, look at it." .”

"Little one takes orders." Lu Heng stood up, watching Xiliu's gesture of cutting off again.

A bamboo stick, cut out the bevel and polish it smoothly, dig a water drop-like groove in the cut, no need to be too deep, no need to penetrate, the tip of the water drop is close to the tip of the pen, slightly grooved.

Xiliu and Lizi watched Lu Heng's operations nervously, and both of them held their breath, looking at the last little sharp corner.

"Stop!" Xiliu yelled suddenly, both of them trembled in fright, and Lu Heng was even more startled while clutching his heart.

Xiliu took the bamboo stick and tried to roll it around in Fang Yan's ink. After taking it out, he looked at the ink storage in the water drop groove and swallowed a mouthful. He slowly raised the pen and drew on the rice paper. made a perfect circle.

"Digging! It worked! I'm such a genius!" Xiliu looked at the flawless circle she drew, and then looked at the fact that the pen did not leak ink, and giggled happily.

Lizi also nodded and said, "Master is so good, he can make small things by himself."

"Hey~ where, it's all thanks to Master Lu...Heng! Haha." Xiliu almost called Master Lu again, but when she saw that Lu Heng was about to kneel down when she just said Lu, she quickly changed it. mouthed.

"Not bad, not bad, I'll make some pens for Lao Tzu later, and use them differently." Xiliu said with a smile and patted Lu Heng on the shoulder.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Young master, what orders do you have?"

Xiliu nodded and dipped some ink, then drew and explained: "You help me make a shelf, the height is the same as the lamp that you came in to see me measure, and then tie ropes on the left and right sides, and install a lamp on the two sides. Leather sandbags," he said of the sandbags and drew his diagram next to it.

"It's leather on the outside, it's a bit harder. I'll put three layers of cotton on the inside, and now fill the bottom with some sand, and some rice, and then continue to fill this position with sand." After speaking, he dipped some ink and drew a horizontal line Then he continued, "I'm filling some rice, and then sand, shut up!" After finishing speaking, he wrote the rice and sand where needed.

After looking at it for a while, I dipped in ink and continued to draw: "Go back to the shelf, and make a support here. You must add four pieces of wood to make a support and fix it, then fix two here, and finally screw four pieces from here. Screw it down." Xiliu happily drew 4 small round holes on the ground.

"Uh... young man, I dare to ask, what are screws." Lu Heng was already sweating, it was the first time he saw someone draw such a beautiful structural picture.

"It's... the foundation... oh no... uh... pile driving! Yes, yes, yes! Drive the pile down and let him be fixed on the ground." Xiliu wiped her sweat and smiled smirkly.

"Oh, I understand now, the picture drawn by the young master is the most exquisite picture I have ever seen." Lu Heng did not forget to flatter him.

Xiliu took a look at her drawings, isn’t she? I originally studied as a cook, but I learned to paint when I was painting cakes. My cake drawings have always been nominated by teachers to praise and post on the school bulletin board. Excellent in.

"Hehe, thank you." But Xiliu was very sad, because... maybe she would never be able to make cakes again.

"Master, are you uncomfortable?" Lizi saw Xiliu's sadness, and gently pushed his hand.

Xiliu came back to her senses, blinked and smiled brightly: "No, how long will it take to make it?" Xiliu turned to look at Lu Heng with an envious expression.

Lu Heng took a step back and made a bow and said: "The young master's paintings are small and clear, but it may take some time to choose wood and planing wood, but it is very fast to build. Give the small one 7 days. See if you can."

Xiliu nodded, and agreed. By the way, she also drew some prototypes of other fitness equipment, and said, "Just do what you can, and forget it if you can't."

Lu Heng took the drawing with both hands, picked up the toolbox and retreated.

Xiliu happily walked in the yard, seeing the flowers already planted at the door, her mood improved greatly.

Humming a song, he walked to the backyard where the prince had been practicing his sword. After letting Lizi get away, he played Wing Chun himself.

Wing Chun was used by Grandpa Xuan to teach Liu Wei to exercise since he was a child, and he got used to it over time. Before he had nothing to do, he would fight with Grandpa in Xuanning Pavilion, but Grandpa was always rambunctious and would use other boxing methods to compete, so Liu Wei But never won.

Probably because of his too thin body, Xiliu was already sweating before finishing a set.

On the other hand, Lizi who was standing aside was stunned, her young master actually practiced martial arts?

Xiliu, who was really hot, finished her movements smoothly, wiped her face with her hands and said, "Lizi, is there anyone in the palace who knows how to make clothes?"

Lizi ran over and looked at Xiliu in shock, without closing her mouth for a long time.

"Why, the mouth is so big that the chin fell off." Xiliu lifted his chin in a funny way, Lizi blinked and said, "Master, you never practiced martial arts before!"

"Tacking, really, I'm still the son of a fucking general." Xiliu wiped her face with her hands and looked at Lizi's earnest nodding face in disbelief, "But why?"

"Because the former lady said that the young master is too beautiful and charming, and if he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it will cause panic." Lizi said imitating the appearance of the old lady before.

Xiliu smiled amusedly and said, "Never mind him, I'm just practicing martial arts from today, I don't need the prince's protection." Xiliu wrinkled her nose when she thought of the prince.

"I dare not let the prince hear these words." Lizi turned her head to look at the servants passing by, and pulled La Xiliu's sleeve.

Xiliu pursed her lips and nodded, "Go, call the tailor to my room."

"Okay!" Lizi ran away happily.

Xiliu wobbled back to her room, stood in front of the copper basin, took off her clothes and wiped her body, Lizi happily asked the tailor to wait at the door, and went in to make an announcement, then suddenly yelled "Ah".

"Why, I was so surprised that I was scared to death." Xiliu almost threw the towel out when he called her, and Lizi blushed and said, "Master...you get dressed first, the person you want is here It's the door."

Xiliu glanced at her body, and said angrily, "Then you help me dress, does I seem to be someone who knows how to put on clothes?"

"Oh..." Lizi pouted and carefully put on his clothes.

Xiliu waved her hands and walked and sat on the mahogany chair and looked at the old woman who came in. The old woman knelt down for Xiliu and said, "Tailor, Gui Xiaohong, pay homage to the young master."

Xiliu nodded and asked her to get up, and came to her side, then took out the blueprint and threw it in front of her, saying: "This is very simple, this, this, just sew, this, this, just sew, pants Well, it's that short."

Lizi and Gui Xiaohong blushed when they saw the blueprint, Lizi pointed to the blueprint and looked at Xiliu and asked, "Young master...young master, this is...what is it..."

Xiliu took a sip of water and replied seriously: "I have no culture and common sense. This is a vest and shorts."

Lizi and Gui Xiaohong glanced at Xiliu in bewilderment, and then at each other, Gui Xiaohong said with difficulty: "Master, but this...is a bit..."

"Huh? This young master told you to do it, so you just do it, don't care about showing it or not, OK?" Xiliu made an OK gesture in front of Gui Xiaohong, and Gui Xiaohong didn't understand even more.

"In short, cotton is used, the top and bottom are white, and the bottom is dark blue, which is the same as the blue color of this cup." Xiliu pointed to the blue color of the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand and said.

"Oh... good." Gui Xiaohong put away the drawings with trembling hands, and Xiliu didn't forget to say, "Since you don't have sewing machines here, I'll give you 3 days to make 2 or 3 sets. It won't be a problem." Well, I'm going to change clothes."

Gui Xiaohong nodded in agreement, and as soon as she stood up and wanted to leave, Xiliu stood up and stretched her hands and said, "Okay, if you understand, take a measurement."

Gui Xiaohong was taken aback, then blinked and said: "Young master, you don't need it, the young master's body size was measured by the prince, you young ones...don't dare to touch it."

Xiliu opened her hands and thought for a while and said, "Don't bother him, I will do it myself."

After speaking, he took away the soft ruler from Gui Xiaohong's neck, and measured the dimensions of his thighs by himself, so scared that Lizi and Gui Xiaohong turned around quickly without looking at him.

After finishing everything, Xiliu leaned on the wooden floor and played with her pen in satisfaction, and said proudly: "Knowledge really makes people progress. I can probably create 100 inventions in the world! Hahaha!"

Lizi stood by and looked at him with a puzzled face.
