I do research in ancient times

Chapter 152

Hearing that it was the first mirror in history, Brother Feng was a little jealous for a moment.

Brother Xiaofei is too kind to the boss!The soap and shampoo are specially customized to the mint flavor that the boss likes, Xiao Jinjin's good knife is directly given to the boss, and now there is a mirror...

Woohoo, he also wants to be good friends with Brother Xiao Fei!

But he didn't dare to say this directly to Brother Xiao Fei.After the person turned around and left, he quietly opened the small wooden box that delivered the letter.

"Brother Twelfth, isn't it good for you to be like this? Didn't Brother Xiaofei give this to Big Brother? You will be scolded if you open Big Brother's things without permission."

Thirteen whispered.

Twelve Lang glared at his cousin.

"How would you know if you didn't tell the boss?"

As he spoke, he waved his fist at Thirteen.

"If the boss finds out, you can sue him, and I will beat you up!"

Thirteen remained silent, seeing him take out a glass mirror from the wooden box.

The first glass mirror in history is a bit plain, only inlaid with an ordinary wooden mirror frame, and it is no different from the previous demonstration by Ning Juzi.

but!

Thirteen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Ah! What is this?!"

I saw a strange object lying quietly at the bottom of the wooden box under the mirror.

That thing is composed of four cylinders, connected by iron bolts in the middle, which looks very strange from the outside.

He said it!

Twelve Lang stared at the strange things in the wooden box with a little jealousy.

He said that the wooden box is so big, how could it be possible to install a mirror? !Brother Xiaofei must have brought private goods with him again!

"Take it out and take a look and you'll know?"

Feng Kang reached out and took out the strange thing, and weighed it in his hand.

"It's iron, it's quite heavy, how do you use this thing?"

Thirteen also stood on tiptoe and leaned over to have a look.He is a very clever kid. He first observed the appearance of the strange thing, and soon saw some tricks.

"The glass inlaid here is made by brother Fei, right?"

The young boy muttered while watching.

"There are glass embedded in four places on both sides, isn't it a mirror?"

"Mirror?"

Twelve Lang looked at himself from a distance.

"I can't see anything, it's called a mirror."

"Brother Twelve, can I have a look?"

Thirteen begged.

"I'll just take a look and return it to you right away."

Twelve Lang thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to win over Thirteen, the kid who had secretly dismantled the boss's gift, so he handed him the strange thing and told him.

"You have to be careful, this thing is quite heavy, and it has glass embedded in it, so don't let it break."

Thirteen happily responded, and took the iron tube carefully.

He first studied the structure of the strange thing, and felt that the design of the four iron cylinders was just enough to be held by two hands, and the key was the curved glass embedded in the cylinders.The two large cylinders on the outside were far away, so Shisan changed direction and looked closely at the two small cylinders on the inside.

Seeing this, the young boy gasped, his fingers holding the cylinder turned white, and his body became extremely stiff.

"Little Thirteen, what's the matter with you?"

Twelve Lang could see clearly from the side, but he, Monk Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out. He didn't know why his cousin suddenly stopped talking.

But Feng Xi ignored him, and took a deep breath, his body kept turning left and right, his eyes firmly stuck to the cylinder.

"I'm in a hurry! I'm in a hurry! What's wrong with you!"

Twelve Lang jumped aside.

"This is... is this Qianlimu?!"

Finally, Feng Xi stammered and finally managed to utter a word.

"It's so far away, you can see all the trees on the top of Niubei Mountain, Brother Xiao Fei is going to send Big Brother Qianlimu to you!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Kang immediately exploded.

"What clairvoyance?! Is that the god your mother went to worship at the Taoist temple? The one with three eyes?! Did you see the god?!"

"No no no!"

Feng Xi desperately shook his head, and refused to let go of the iron cylinder stuck in front of his eyes, observing everything around him almost greedily.

"It's not a fairy, it's a real clairvoyant. I can see far, far away now!"

"Oh! You're so anxious to kill me!"

Feng Kang finally couldn't bear it anymore, snatched the strange cylinder out of Thirteenth Brother's hand, and stuck it in front of his eyes like a model.

"Ah, I can see quite far, Thirteen, why did you run a few feet away?!"

"Brother Twelve."

Feng Xi desperately gestured towards Feng Kang.

"Brother, you held it upside down, look at the small end."

"Oh."

Twelve Lang was a little embarrassed, turned over the strange iron cylinder in his hand, and the next moment, he yelled and jumped three feet high.

"Ah! Really! I can see the trees on the top of the mountain! It's so far away!"

"Hahaha, I also have clairvoyance! It's so far away! That branch is still shaking!"

Two young boys were fighting for each other, and neither of them was willing to let go of this magical clairvoyance.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Twelve Lang remembered that he was going back to the city to deliver the letter, and his mood suddenly became extremely depressed.

He likes this clairvoyance, it can see far and far away, it is simply a must-have artifact for marching and fighting!

Just imagine, if you carry this treasure with you, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding ravines and mountain shapes, and the enemy will be able to detect it as soon as it makes a move, which can save a lot of loss of sentry.

Especially looking down from a high place, all the movements in the field of vision can be seen at a glance, and the enemy has nowhere to hide, which is really amazing!

He likes it, he really likes it!

But Twelve Lang is not a child who knows the importance. In fact, he was aware of Brother Xiao Fei's intention to send the Celestial Eye to his elder brother right away.

Good things should be used wisely.Qianlimu is in Feng Kang's hands, it can only be a toy for him to play and hunt, wasting the value of the treasure in vain.

Only in the hands of the big brother, let it be used on the battlefield, that is the meaning of Qianlimu!

Thinking of this, Twelve Lang reluctantly touched the Qianlimu again and again, and finally carefully put it back into the wooden box.

His attitude was almost pious, and Shisan was at a loss.

"Brother, shall we stop playing?"

The little boy asked in a young voice.

Based on his understanding of Brother Twelve, this is not like Feng Kang's style!

"What are you playing?! Just know how to play! Do you have nothing to do every day?!"

Twelve Lang imitated his elder brother's tone of reprimanding him, and reached out and knocked Thirteen Brother with a chestnut.

"This is for big brother to lead troops to fight! It's a big military matter, how can you let it go!"

Thirteen clutched his swollen forehead, feeling extremely wronged.

Obviously it was Brother Twelve who played all afternoon without letting go, why did he still blame him? !

None of the older brothers in the family is as kind and reasonable as Brother Xiaofei, none of them!

Because of the task of delivering the letter, Twelve Lang on the little red horse rushed back to Ding'an City.

It was too late for him to return to the city, and Yongxi Pass had already closed.

The gatekeeper inspected his badge, and found a soldier to take him into the city.

"There are many merchants in the city these two days, Mr. Xiaolang should be more careful, don't be bumped by those who don't have long eyes."

When the door official said this, Twelve Lang didn't care much.

He grew up in this city of Ding'an since he was a child. Who doesn't know that he is named Twelve, and where are those who don't have eyes!

As a result, after walking for a while, he was dumbfounded.

In the half month since I went to Mozong to attend classes, Ding'an City has undergone many changes.Although it was the last moment of the watch at this time, when passing by a few squares, you could still see brightly lit scenes.

"Oh, those are mostly inns and restaurants."

Said the soldier escorting him home.

"I heard that the Xihai caravan will deliver good goods tomorrow. Many merchants have been rushing into the city these days, and they all came here before closing."

"So anxious?"

Brother Feng said in surprise.

He thinks that the most likely "good thing" for the "merchant of the West Sea" in the near future is the silver mirror.

The clairvoyance is impossible to take out, and the glass is easy to transport. After all the calculations, the mirror is the most suitable.

What's more, this morning he and his two cousins ​​witnessed the spectacle of mirror-plating. It took a quarter of an hour to make a large flat silver mirror. No difficulty at all.

"Since they are here to buy something, what are the goods they brought over?"

Twelve Lang pointed to the street market illuminated by lanterns not far away.At this moment, there are teams of carriages, loaded with goods, being pulled into the inn.The guys at the door kept coming in and out, and they were busy covering the car with the tarpaulin to prevent the goods from getting wet.

"Oh, that is to be exchanged with the Xihai merchant."

The soldier scratched his head with a smile.

"I heard that there are no wheat grains growing in the West Sea. She usually eats mutton, and the five grains are rare things. The barbarian shopkeeper lived in the city before and knew the price of wheat grains very well. But she not only kept silent, but also From time to time, I also collect some wheat grains, presumably to use it to fool the master and fill my pockets."

"Now when the merchants from the south come here, they like to exchange grains. If they please the barbarian shopkeepers, they can get good goods. There are a lot of grains in the south, especially beans, which are cheap and abundant. There is more gain in loss than in silver.”

"Now the caravans will come to the city regularly, and the merchants will arrive in time. The city is very lively!"

The soldier talked all the way, maybe he didn't mean to please the young gentleman of the Feng family.Twelve Lang can see the doorway of this more clearly than him. It's not that the barbarian shopkeeper is fooling the master's family. It's his brother Fei who is hoarding food on a large scale!

However, he didn't interrupt the other party, and just heard the door of Dadu Hufu along the way.

Entering the gate of the mansion, Twelve Lang turned to the east courtyard without stopping.

At this time, Feng Kai had just finished taking a shower and was sitting in the study reading the military newspaper.Hearing that Lu Yong reported that his younger brother was coming, he frowned slightly.

"Twelve Lang? Let him in."

Feng Kang walked into the study room and put the wooden box in front of his elder brother.

"Brother, Brother Xiaofei sent you a letter and a present."

Feng Kai nodded.

Recently, the communication between them has become very frequent, and some of them will chat with each other regularly.Mostly he was guiding Ning Fei to chat about daily affairs, and occasionally they would exchange some information and discuss the situation in the Central Plains.

He opened the wooden box, took out the letter and read it first, then picked up the silver mirror in the box.

A handsome face was clearly reflected in the mirror, the black hair hanging on the forehead covered the sharpness between the brows, but the corners of the lips raised slightly, which he himself did not know.

It turns out that thinking of some people, the joy in my heart can no longer be concealed?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to look at his younger brother standing aside.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"elder brother……"

Xiaodi Feng took a few steps in place, and carefully took out the Celestial Eye from his arms.

When he returned to the city, he thought and thought, but he still felt uneasy about putting the baby in the box.What if the horse bumps and knocks the clairvoyance?Wasn't Brother Xiaofei's efforts in vain?

Of course, Twelve Lang also has a little selfishness.

He really likes this clairvoyance, but knowing that he can't keep it, he thinks about counting one more moment as a moment.

When it is handed over to the boss, it will probably be like Xiao Jinjin, who will never look back once he goes.

"Brother, it's not that I want to take it for myself, it's that this thing is too precious, and I'm afraid there will be mistakes."

Twelve Lang stammered and explained.

"This is a good gift from Brother Xiaofei, I will hug it tightly."

Even though he said this, Twelve Lang stretched out his hand very slowly, revealing a strong reluctance from the inside out.

Feng Kai raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take the iron cylinder from his younger brother, looked it up and down, and turned his gaze back to younger brother Feng.

"what is this?"

Twelve Lang was surprised.

He thought that the usage of Qianlimu would be mentioned in the letter, but he didn't expect that the elder brother acted as if he didn't know. Didn't Brother Xiaofei mention it?

Needless to say, Twelve Lang really guessed right this time.

The letter was written by Ning Fei when he was building the mirror, and it was sealed in an envelope early in the morning.Later, Liu Tie's lens mold was very successful, so he tried to make a military telescope, but he did not expect to succeed at the first time.

Ning Fei thought about it, and felt that the telescope was more practical for leading troops to fight, so he casually put it into the box for Brother Mu Ye.

And then...he was so busy that he forgot some instructions...

"It's Qianlimu."

Brother Feng was bleeding in his heart as he spoke.

Had I known that Brother Xiaofei hadn't mentioned it, would he have had the opportunity to take things away and secretly take Qianlimu as his own? !

But no!Feng Kang!You have to be a man, you can't really be as ignorant as your father scolded you!

It's not yours, so you can't think about it!

Feng Kai is so clever, he immediately found the way when he heard the word "thousand miles".

He first observed the outer frame of the "Thousand Miles", compared the distance between the eyebrows, and then directly attached the small lens barrel to the eyes.

The next moment, Feng Kang saw the usually calm elder brother "Huo Di" stand up, leave the study in his coat, hold the "Thousand Miles" in his hand, and look around in the courtyard outside the door.

He first aimed at Baihu Street, which was still brightly lit not far away, and then looked in the direction of the city gate. Finally, Twelve Lang saw his eldest brother raised his head and turned his clairvoyant towards the sky.

Boss... Are you looking at the moon? !

The hairs on Xiaodi Feng's back stood on end.

Why did he forget, the vision is not good at night, but it is the most suitable for watching the moon!

During the day, he and Shisan also looked at the sun together, but it was so dazzling that the two of them couldn't bear it before they found a place, so they gave up.

but the moon...

Feng Kang's heart was on fire, wishing he could snatch Qianlimu from his elder brother immediately, and look at the moon too!

After waiting for a long time, he saw his eldest brother put down the "Thousand Limu" ​​slowly, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"No, didn't he say anything?"

Young Master Feng turned his head and looked at his younger brother with serious eyes.

Feng Kang thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"Brother Xiaofei only said it was a present for you, nothing else."

"so."

Feng Kai raised his head, stared at the moon in the sky fixedly, and only sighed softly after a long time.

"This present is too big."

"I don't know how to repay the friendship."
