    When eating at noon, Jie Xisi was not seen. Xing'er told Wang Mian that her eldest uncle had gone to work as a lobbyist at her home in the capital.

    When Wang Mian heard it, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt that the food on the table was so delicious.

    Aunt Xue chewed and ate her meal slowly, while educating her daughter, "There is nothing to let go of in life. Do things when you are awake, read when you are confused; sleep when you are angry, and think when you are alone. Learn to look down on gains and losses,  Know how to get together and leave according to fate. Everything is at peace with the situation, which is the best state of mind!"

    Yu Tian glanced at Wang Mian, and Wang Mian immediately understood: Aunt Xue was implying that he and Xing'er should not have too much hope for their marriage.

    Walking leisurely in Yaoye Tinggao.

    It's just after Qingming, and I gradually feel hurt in the evening of spring.

    The sound of the rain and the wind make an appointment,

    Hazy Danyue clouds come and go.

    The peach and apricot are faintly fragrant.

    Who is on the swing, whispering with a smile.

    An inch of lovesickness,

    There is no place for arrangement in the world.

    It was not dark at night, Wang Mian was walking casually on the pavilion, seemingly carelessly, but actually his heart was ups and downs.

    Do not know why?  Just after Qingming, he felt the passing breath of spring.  The sound of rain that I heard just now was also caught by the spring breeze and could not be heard.

    The waning moon flickers, and the clouds drift with the wind.  Peach blossoms and apricot blossoms exude a faint fragrance in the dark night. I don¡¯t know who is the woman who is swinging in the garden and talking and laughing softly?  Is it Myolie?  Could it be that she still has this interest at this time!

    Wang Mian misses Xing'er thousands of times, but in the vast world, there is no place where his lovesickness can be placed.

    Wang Mian couldn't help walking towards the swing.

    From afar, I heard Yingying asking Myolie: "Sister San, let me ask you, why didn't Yanzi marry a bat?"

    Myolie replied: "I don't know."

    Yingying said: "Swallows said that those who run around at night are not good birds!"

    Wang Mian knew that Yingying had seen him, so he left quickly, and Yingying's voice came from behind him: "Third sister, many people said recently that you are a fool, what do you think?!"

    When someone said she was stupid, Myolie was naturally upset, most people would ask "Who said that"?  But she didn't ask that, but asked: "How many people have said that?"

    Yingying said: "Two or three!"

    Myolie said, "It's okay, there are still many people who don't know about it!"

    Wang Mian really wanted to laugh: How can there be such an innocent and straightforward silly sister in the world?  He stopped involuntarily, found a hidden place, and eavesdropped on the whispers of the two sisters.

    "What do you mean you don't know!" Yingying looked at Myolie's nonchalant expression and said, "Do you know why they say you're stupid?"

    "Why?"

    "They said, the prince is old and poor, but you insist on marrying him, why?"

    "Why?"

    "I am asking you!"

    "I don't know either~"

    Yingying sighed like a little adult, "It seems that the third sister is really stupid! Did you know that he doesn't have a car or a house?"

    "Who said he has no car or house? His house is in the Bell and Drum Tower!"

    "Did you see it?"

    "He still has a big white horse~"

    "Big white horse, that's also borrowed."

    "Who said that?"

    "You don't care who said it."

    "If you don't tell who it is, it's nonsense!"

    "Da Liangliang said it."

    "Can he tell you this?"

    "Does he dare to tell me this?!" Yingying asked triumphantly, "Hmph, whatever I ask him, he has to tell me, otherwise, I will kick him out!"

    "What else did I tell you?"

    "He also said that before they came to live with us, they lived in a thatched hut at the foot of the southwest mountain."

    "I've been to that place too." Xing'er said, "He lives there temporarily for the convenience of sketching."

    "Third sister, what a man does will make women feel disgusted, do you know that?"

    "What?"

    "The first is lying, the second is telling the truth, the third is not talking, the fourth is talking too much, the fifth is clingy, the sixth is not clingy" Yingying immediately made a tearful expression.

    "Then you still let the men live?"

    "The key is the one you like, these problems are allIt is our great nation that has completely broken the fuzzy concept of doing things by the ancestors who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, so that they can carefully plan the work of every day, every hour, every minute, and every second.

    And this timing device made according to the law of water droplets is named "hourglass", which is also the earliest timer.

    (1) The appearance of the clepsydra

    In 1400 BC, the clepsydra (hourglass or hourglass) that appeared was the first timekeeping instrument to get rid of astronomical phenomena.  It measures time based on the amount of quicksand dripping from one container to another.  The "five-wheel hourglass" designed by the ancients uses quicksand to flow from the funnel-shaped sand pool to the sand bucket next to the primary wheel to drive the primary wheel, thereby driving the mechanical gears at all levels to rotate sequentially.  Drive the middle wheel that rotates on the horizontal plane, there is a pointer on the axis of the middle wheel, and the pointer rotates on a scaled instrument disc to display the time. This ancient display method is almost the same as that of modern clocks.  The structure is exactly the same.

    (2) Copper pot hourglass

    Copper pot: refers to the clepsydra, an ancient timing instrument, generally made of copper.  The water in the clepsydra is dripping rhythmically, indicating that time is passing.

    Tang. Quan Deyu's poem in "Zhongshu Suzhai Youji" said: "The copper pot leaks and drips, and the bucket is dry, and the golden waves shine on the dew plate; I want to sleep in the bridal chamber, and I can't bear the coldness of Fengchi in the middle of the night."

    Copper pot hourglass: It is also a kind of ancient timer in my country.

    The most complete group-type hourglass in China was cast in the third year of Yanyou's reign in Yuan Dynasty (1316 A.D.). The whole group consists of four clepsydra placed on the ladder.  cm, with an inner diameter of 68.2 cm and a bottom diameter of 60 cm; the second layer is called the Moon Pot, with a height of 58.5 cm, an outer diameter of 59.5 cm, an inner diameter of 54.5 cm, and a bottom diameter of 53 cm; the third layer is called the Star Pot, with a height of 55.4 cm.  The caliber is 51 cm, the inner diameter is 44 cm, and the bottom diameter is 39 cm; the bottom layer is called Shou Kettle, which is 75 cm high, the outer diameter is 38.5 cm, the inner diameter is 32 cm, and the bottom diameter is 31 cm.

    Each pot has a copper lid, and a copper ruler is inserted in the center of the copper lid of the kettle. The copper ruler is 66.5 cm long. The scale of 12 hours is engraved on the ruler.  , Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.  A wooden floating sword is inserted in front of the copper ruler, and the lower end of the wooden sword is a wooden board called a floating boat.  The water drips from the sun pot along the faucet one by one, and the water in the pot gradually increases with the passage of time, and the floating sword rises gradually, so that the time can be read.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
