On the wooden round table in the open hall are seasonal cherry fruits, two translucent glutinous rice desserts, and a pot of spring tea. The cherries were cleaned and placed in a delicately woven bamboo basket, but they were very beautiful, although Guo Shao didn't eat any of them. He was talking seriously with Fu Jinzhan about some state affairs in the past two days.

Guo Shao pays attention to what he said, so naturally he can't let go. He turned his head a little bit, and he could see a group of court ladies on the street under the red wall corner outside the Zide Hall, holding lanterns and lighting the lampstands on the roadside. The light gradually dimmed after the sun went down, and the lights in the palace were lit up one by one; this kind of scene is a bit strange, the light of the lights slowly appeared in the area, and the lights seemed to spread. People are doing their own things, but Guo Shao knows that those people can see the people above it just as they can see them.

Zide Hall is built on the foundation, which can be seen far away. The double eaves of the temple on the west have a sense of vastness, and there are many low houses under the imperial wall in the distance; but the emperor The walls and towers of the city are taller, and you can't see the outside scene... It's almost a completely enclosed place. It's hard for ordinary people to get out, and they can't even see the outside. After guessing, if you climb up the higher rockery in the imperial garden, you can see outside the palace.

Guo Shao regained his gaze and found that there were some eunuchs and court ladies in the dining room where he had just eaten. Although they are far away, they must be paying attention to themselves and Jinzhan. The emperor and the queen mother are the people who attract attention. Therefore, Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan both spoke well, and Fu Jinzhan’s voice was soothing and tactful. The soothing rhythm might be for the purpose of being precise at any time so as not to say the wrong thing in front of others.

As night falls, the light under the lantern is gradually dim and a little ambiguous, plus Guo Shao has been busy all day, this scene is easy to relax in fatigue. He gradually became bold and said: "In fact, we are talking here, others can't hear it?"

"I can't hear it." Fu Jinzhan looked around with a bright gaze, then smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Guo Shao let out a breath, leaned back, put his elbows on the table, and said: "What can we do to get along alone?"

Jinzhan smiled and said, "Aren't you alone now?"

Guo Shao was taken aback and said: "You know what I said, it's not like this... everyone is in full view."

Fu Jinzhan said softly: "That's difficult. There are tens of thousands of people in this palace. Their biggest responsibility is to take care of the royal family's daily life. Twelve hours a day, there are people looking after your Majesty and us. . If they don’t know where you are going, they will be panicked; if they know where you have been, where do you want to go?"

She paused and said softly: "At this time, you still don't rush to go crazy."

Guo Shao sighed after hearing this, and said: "It turns out that Jinzhan is in this forbidden city, it is rare to see the previous side. Now I also live in, thinking that it is very close, but unexpectedly it is more difficult to get closer than before."

Fu Jinzhan looked at his face and asked calmly: "Are you not satisfied with thousands of beauties in the palace?"

Guo Shao instinctively cannot answer these words indiscriminately. If she thought that she meant to remind herself to abide by etiquette and morality, then she would be wrong; thinking about the previous incident, once brought the second sister of Fu into the palace, it was only on the surface She left her out of the cold, because everyone had their own duties and identities, Fu Jinzhan was very upset... But she herself was dignified and polite most of the time, and never took the initiative to speak nonsense.

After a while, Guo Shao said: "Today, a minister has written to give you a superior title..."

Fu Jinzhan didn't bother with the question just now, and immediately asked with interest: "Who wrote the book first?"

Guo Shaodao: "Private Envoy Wang Pu."

Fu Jinzhan nodded thoughtfully.

Guo Shao smiled and said: "They talked about the many benefits of calendula. I can't remember a lot of birth, status, and virtuous virtue. Anyway, I said everything that can be used to praise a woman. So good. People of course have to be honored."

After he said, he breathed a sigh of relief, so Fu Jinzhan should be satisfied. After all, a woman of any status is still willing to be complimented by others and say she is good.

At this time, Fu Jinzhan said softly: "What I want to hear most is not how good ministers think of me, but how do you think I am good."

Guo Shao was startled. Only then did he temporarily wonder what is good about Fu Jinzhan. I have known her for a long time, so naturally he won't think about these things every day. He was thinking, and Fu Jinzhan went on to say: "I want to know what you usually think of."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, and the trivial thoughts that had been in the Jinxiang Palace at a certain time emerged in his mind, and he smiled: "I didn't really think about the good calendula, but there would be some..." Thoughtfully, "...One of your backs, wearing very large clothes, speaks back to me, you can't see your face, there is the sound of wooden fish, but when you sit on your knees, you tighten your skirt, and the outline of your hips... …"

Fu Jinzhan's face reddened slightly, and her voice softened, "It should be in Daxiangguo Temple, where you have seen you with the sound of wooden fish, and only there. It's been many years. But I didn't expect it at the time. , You dared to think like that back then, I am a queen, and you are just an inner palace."

Guo Shao groaned again, "The sun is shining in from the window. When you look back, your eyes and lips are particularly smooth under the light... I can't remember exactly when and where... The ring dangled. I saw my eyes, I saw your fingers... The handkerchief was rubbing my face with silk material, and I felt your nails. The smell of the handkerchief has a very light scent, I can't tell what it is..."

Fu Jinzhan's eyes were blurred, and he said softly: "You think of all these things?"

Guo Shao nodded.

Unconsciously, night had fallen, and lanterns were lit everywhere. Guo Shao sat here looking at Jinzhan, and she looked at herself. He suddenly felt that this moment was very strange. He could only look at each other when he was very close.

Guo Shao suddenly smiled, Fu Jinzhan was also infected by him, and his curved eyes showed a soft smile like the moon. Guo Shao gestured the width of the round table with his hands, and smiled: "We two were very far apart before, but now there is only such a distance, from the side of the table to your side. But at such a distance, I am afraid it will be very troublesome to walk through. A lot of things need to be done."

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "Indeed, I thought you didn't expect those things."

"What's the matter?" Guo Shao asked casually.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "I won't tell you."

Guo Shao suddenly felt that when he heard this sentence, but he didn't remember it for a while.

……

Guo Shao has been waiting for the enthronement ceremony these days. After the next day, he stopped going to the Zide Hall to see Ermei Fu, but he heard that Li Yuan'er had also entered the palace. As soon as the unitary hour passed each day, he found a familiar pastime: ironing.

Strictly speaking, it is not forging iron, because the material metal is gold and silver.

On the west side of the Wansui Palace, there is a courtyard called the "Enjoy Hall", where Guo Shao called the **** Yang Shiliang to set up a full set of facilities for the blacksmith shop, and everything is complete...The imperial city is better than the Guo family mansion Here, it is relatively large, and you can easily find a space to satisfy his various activities. This Charity Hall is really a yard, or a small yard. A door enters into a corridor, and then there are several houses in a roundabout shape, one set of two or three rooms, Guo Shao looked at one set of 100 square meters. Left and right... Compared with the magnificent main hall, the yard here really has a homely atmosphere, but the greening is not as good as the Guo's mansion, there are a few lone trees in the yard.

Guo Shao first drew the appearance on the picture, a villain in heavy armor and a sword, and a lock. He plans to make one piece of gold and silver each.

In fact, Guo Shao feels that being a good blacksmith is not easy. Must be strong first? Then, from object modeling to design steps, you must have certain ideas, and you must be able to be realistic from the craftsmanship, not fantasy... Maybe some of the noble family members in high positions may not have the ability to be a good blacksmith, but they But inexplicably feel that it is too simple and easy to do. Blacksmiths can't do well, so they can run the country indiscriminately by tapping their heads?

Guo Shao didn't ask anyone to start the work, but was thinking about how to make it beautiful and exquisite. After all, it is a toy, and it has no value if it is not ornamental.

He lifted the pen and wrote the first step on the paper, casting. Use sand casting, melt the gold and silver and pour it in to cool it down, because the things are small, it's not difficult...but the post-processing must be hand-grinded. There are tools such as 第子, grindstone, saw, drill, etc. The drill is still very advanced, but the hardness does not seem to be enough, because the drill is a tool for processing wood. Made of hemp rope and wood: the twisting force is used very cleverly, and it can be transformed into the circular motion of the drill by only pulling up and down. This is something made by the ancients themselves, anyway, Guo Shao feels that if he wants to create this thing, I am afraid he can't do it.

But he still felt that one thing was missing: the vise. How to perform efficient processing if parts are not firmly fixed? Guo Shao didn't know that the ancients did it, but it seems that they did not process metal parts in this way. The finishing of gold and silverware depends entirely on craftsmanship.

Guo Shao doesn't have that kind of superb craftsmanship, so he plans to get a vise first. Most of the structure of this thing is not difficult, and it can be polished after casting; the most difficult thing is the thread, without the thread, the width of the jaw cannot be adjusted.

Guo Shao thought for a long time and didn't know how to make a thread on iron. The outer thread may be made of wood as a core, a sand mold, and then cast; how to make the inner thread? He thought for a long time... It's impossible to machine threads in iron by hand, and you have to cast.

So he divided the model into two, and prepared to cast two internal threads first, and then connect the two parts with rivets... In this way, the tolerance must be small, otherwise the two halves of the thread cannot become a whole. Ordinary measuring tools can't work. He plans to make a vernier caliper and set the standard accuracy of the length himself... What material is used for the vernier caliper? Wood is too easy to wear.

Guo Shao has been engaged for a long time, and said in his heart: Look, it is not easy to be a blacksmith.
