Chapter 8 The Oil Lamp

"good."

Seeing Li Ang's firm attitude, Yu Miaoshui was also straightforward, clapped both hands on the armrest of the chair, picked up the folding fan, got up and walked outside the house.

Ai Rong hesitated, and put away the second version of the contract. Before going out, he reminded softly: "Risheng, Doctor Yu has a lot of friends, including old friends in pawnshops, banks, and temples. You still have more than a month to join the provincial government. Try it, it’s better not to be distracted.”

"Risheng understands."

Li Ang nodded, Ai Rong's words reminded him of two points.

One, Yu Miaoshui has connections in pawnshops and banks, so don't even think about borrowing from other places

Second, what Yu Miaoshui was really worried about was Li Ang's status as a scholar. If he didn't have the status of a state scholar, Yu Miaoshui would have taken advantage of it and tried to seize the security hall.

After saying that, Ai Rong left.

Seeing the backs of the two people submerged in the street, Chai Cuiqiao gritted her teeth angrily, and said anxiously: "Master."

"No hurries."

Li Ang shook his head, walked forward and closed the main door, "They have a formal contract that has been pledged in their hands, and there is a backup at the yamen.

The procedures and reasons are all justified.

You can't forcefully stop them from leaving, can you? "

"But."

Chai Cuiqiao stomped her foot, "That's one hundred and fifty guan!"

"I know."

Li Ang put on the door latch, clapped his hands, turned around to look at his maid, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have my own way of doing this.

That's it for today, you go to cook the fire first, prepare to cook, I put away this book and go out to buy vegetables and fruits.

I'm in a hurry to get back, I haven't bought the Fenghua peaches I promised you yet. "

"Young master, you have a big heart."

Chai Cuiqiao said sincerely, but Li Ang's composure and self-confidence made her less nervous, and hurriedly told her: "Fenghua peaches should be soft but not rotten. Too soft and rotten will not taste good."

"I know, I know."

Li Ang waved his hand, and sent the little maid to light the fire and cook, and then he took the "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" to the study room, put it together with the other scrolls left at home, and headed north.

One hundred and fifty guan.

That's a lot of money indeed.

In Weizhou City, fifteen wells can be built, three gazebos can be built, and two high-quality horses can be bought. It takes a low-level family to work hard for four years without eating or drinking to save.

Li Ang first went to the end of the Weizhou Bridge and turned around, looked at the rewards on the wooden notice boards at the end of the bridge, then went to the Chengnan Wharf to observe, looked at the hard-working dock laborers there, and walked casually along the way. thinking.

One hundred and fifty guan minus forty-one guan, there is still a gap of 109 guan.

He didn't intend to bother Aunt Song next door. Although Aunt Song and her family's Lansheng Building business is very good, and they can make up a hundred yuan, but there are enough troubles for Aunt Song on weekdays, and the money for their parents' funeral is not enough. Calculated carefully.

He didn't plan to find Pu Liuxuan either.

Pu Liuxuan has just received a letter from the Academy to resume his professorship, and Yu Miaoshui is using the Xinglin Society to plan to buy Baoantang, but he is still using legitimate reasons and can't find an excuse for interference.

As for using his status as a disciple of the academy to put pressure on Miaoshui

Well, Li Ang is not yet a student of the academy, not even a preparatory student, he just has a letter of recommendation.

What's more, if the outside world knows that I use the school's recommendation letter to do something, maybe something will happen - maybe someone will report to the government out of jealousy or to eliminate the threat of competition.

Since the opponent made a move, then accept the move.

After a day's observation in Weizhou City, Li Ang was already sure.

————

"Submit the essence of the sun and the moon, rush to the beauty of the two scenes, the most wonderful treasure, the highest treasure."

"Everything that does wonders should be incarnated first, and those who incarnate should first aspire to the Tao."

It was late at night, and Li Ang read the obscure words on the scroll book by the light of the oil lamp, and every time he read for a while, he had to stop and close his eyes to rest.

The mysteriousness of the text is one aspect, and the dimness of the oil lamp is another - the oil lamp originally used by Yu State was shaped like a lotus flower, divided into two plates, the lower plate was filled with water, and the upper plate was filled with oil.

When in use, light the wick in the oil dish. Because the lower dish is filled with water, the temperature of the wick is not high, and the burning speed is naturally slowed down, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of the oil lamp and prolonging the lamp burning time.

This kind of oil-saving lamp is a forced and helpless move due to the scarcity and high cost of oil. It was not until 50 years ago that the school improved the technology and invented glass and a new oil refining method, so that there was a new type of glass oil lamp.

There is a glass lampshade to protect against wind, and the wick can be shortened or extended by the knob.

In addition to saving fuel, it can also control the brightness.

It was already close to the modern oil lamp in Li Ang's memory.

"It's still too dark, though."

Li Ang rubbed his sore eyes, and put "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" on the table.

I can't read it.

It's like a book from the sky, every word is known, but when they are connected together, they are completely confused.

Well, after reading the practice books, can you feel the heat in your body?

Li Ang hesitated for a moment, stood up, hopped lightly in the room twice, and then posed in the pose of elementary and middle school students broadcasting gymnastics,

From "The Rising Sun", "Eagle Takes Flight", to "The Times Are Calling", "Dancing Youth\

,"From stretching, to stretching,

Even stood upside down.

Not hot at all.

Chai Chai, who was in the same room but in a different bed, had already fallen asleep. When he heard the movement, he turned around in a daze, huddled under the quilt, only showing a small fair face, closed his eyes, and whispered in his sleep, "Master. You need to go to the toilet."

"Will you speak?"

Li Ang's face darkened, and he recovered from the handstand, patted the dust on his palms, and said softly, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

"oh."

Chai Cuiqiao was like a baby silkworm in a silkworm cocoon, twisting and turning over, and after a while, she heard a slight breath and whispered in sleep, "Cherry Biluo, hehe, litchi, hehe, bean paste rice dumpling, hehe"

Dreams are eaten, this maid is hopeless.

Li Ang rolled his eyes helplessly, turned his head to look at the half-closed scroll book on the table, and rubbed the aching brow.

What about the time traveler who brought his own golden thighs? Don't talk about golden thighs, it's okay to give him golden fingers?

Could it be that it has not been triggered yet?

Li Ang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said silently in the ocean of consciousness, "System? System?"

No response.

"Dark blue? Fenglingyueying? Where's the modifier? Where's the modifier? Save me!"

Still no response.

Li Ang opened his eyes, calmed down for a few seconds, walked solemnly in the room, walked squarely counterclockwise, and at the same time moved his lips slightly, "Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun"

Waiting for a moment, still. No response.

Well, I just knew it.

Li Ang slapped his forehead, and reluctantly accepted the reality, tied the scroll book with a string, hung it on the head of the bed, turned off the oil lamp, and lay down on another bed in the room.

Thinking of the school, practice, wells, and one hundred and fifty pipes in my heart, I fell asleep drowsily.
