"Niangniang," Gu Xing was a little entangled, "I don't know the depth of this lotus pond, no one has been to the lotus pond over the years, and I don't know if there are any dangerous things in it, so you can't rush into the water." ”Wei Xi stood on the edge of the lotus pond and looked at a calm water surface, raised his eyes to look at Gu Xing, and explained to him, "The lotus pond is generally not too deep, if it is too deep, how tall does the lotus leaf have to grow to peek out of the water?"
And the silt in this lotus pond has not been cleaned up all year round, I don't know how thick a layer has been buried, I don't think it will be deep.However, there should be water snakes and leeches in it, and if you want to fall into the mud, I am afraid it will not be easy to come up.That's it," Wei Xi said, glancing around, "Are you not here for Seven Kills?"
”An echo was heard in the air, "Yes." ”"You go to Taoyuan Town to borrow a boat from Mo Jiu that won't capsize, it doesn't need to be too big, go and go back quickly.""
Yes."
Gu Xing: "He shouldn't be able to persuade the queen.""
Seven kills went to Taoyuan Town to borrow a boat, I'm afraid it's going to be late in the evening, and today it's not possible to enter the lotus pond."
Wei Xi sighed, "But we can't come in vain, let's go around and go back." ”As he spoke, he raised his foot and casually found a direction.Xiao Qi hurriedly followed, Gu Xing sighed in place, and quickly followed.The manor is deep and dense, blocking the scorching sunlight overhead, and the proximity to the lotus pond is very cool.The more Wei Xi looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but start to build the layout of the school after it was built in the future.Until Gu Xing couldn't help but remind, "Niangniang, it's almost noon, are we going back to the palace?"
”Wei Xi paused and looked at the unfinished road ahead, "Okay, go back to the palace." ”Anyway, I'll be able to come back tomorrow.In the afternoon in the imperial study, Wei Xi itched his hands to draw the layout formed in his mind of the part of the manor that he walked through in the morning.Zong Xu inadvertently glanced over, "This is?"
”"This is the manor during the day," Wei Xi called Wuhuan to bring the paint to her drawings to color, "I wanted to go to the lotus pond in the morning, but unfortunately there was no boat that could be used, so I asked Qi Kill to borrow it from Taoyuan Town, but he couldn't come back for a while, so I took Xiao Qi and Gu Xing around the manor casually." ”Zong Xu listened quietly, "Xi Xi will pass tomorrow?"
”"Well, the boat is almost there in the evening."
Zong Xu nodded, "Tomorrow Xiumu, I'll accompany you over." ”Wei Xi was adjusting the paint, and was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”The borrowed boat was pulled back in the middle of the afternoon, accompanied by Mo Jiu.Seven Kills pulled the boat directly to the edge of the lotus pond in the manor, and waited for Mo Jiu to reload the boat that had been dismantled into several parts, and then returned to the palace to resume his life.Early the next morning, Zong Xu and Wei Xi had breakfast, went out of the palace in civilian clothes, and when they arrived at the edge of the lotus pond in the manor, they saw Mo Jiu already standing next to the boat waiting.Seeing Wei Xi and Zong Xu walking with her, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The grass people meet the emperor, the queen." ”Wei Xi walked to the side of the ship and circled, "This can be disassembled and reassembled?"
”Mo Jiu straightened up and nodded, "It was made by me and a junior brother, and it is best suited for shallow water, and it will never capsize." ”Wei Xi gave him an approving look, "Let's get into the water." ”Mo Jiu stepped forward and used the fan blades at the bottom of the boat to push the boat into the water by himself, Luo Sheng and Gu Xing originally wanted to help on the side, but they didn't intervene."
How many people can sit on the boat?""
Up to six people."
Wei Xi and Zong Xu went up, Mo Jiu, who knew the ship best, also came up, Xiao Qi, Luo Sheng, and Gu Xing, just filled the boat.Gu Xing volunteered to row, and then searched the boat but couldn't find the oars, and turned his head to see that Mo Jiu had already reached the stern position, with a rocker under his hand and a pedal under his feet."
Where?""
Let's take a look straight ahead."
Mo Jiu didn't move his hand holding the rocker when he heard this, and only lightly stepped on the pedal under the footboard.In Gu Xing's stunned eyes, the ship moved forward.Gu Xing: ""Stop for a while.I'll see how deep the water is and how deep the silt is. ”Xiao Qi hurriedly took out the box on his back and took out a polished and smooth arm-length tube from it.This time, even Zong Xu hadn't seen it, "What is this?"
”"Your Majesty will know by looking at it."
Wei Xi said as he pulled out a much thinner tube directly from the tube, and then pulled out a thicker one, and then pulled it out again, a little thicker.Soon, such a tube, which was only the thickness of an arm, changed from thick to thin into a long one.Zong Xu: ""The others on the boat:"" Wei Xi Gu inserted the thin end into the water, felt the barrier of the silt and continued to press down until he couldn't press it anymore, then he looked at the scale engraved on the pipe exposed on the water."
It's less than a zhang, eight feet and three inches."
Xiao Qi was busy listening, and took out paper and a pen with a strange shape from the box to write it down.Wei Xi then measured the depth of the water, "Four feet and one inch, this mud is indeed a bit thick." ”The boat continued to travel a few more places, and Wei Xi measured the depth of the water and the depth of the silt as before, and almost got the overall depth of the water and silt in the lotus pond.She took the data recorded by Xiao Qi, bowed her head for a while to write and paint, and everyone watched her movements in silence, and when she raised her head, Zong Xu put down the tube handed over by Wei Xi and looked at the paper, "What is this writing?"
”Except for the ones that Xiao Qifang just remembered, he couldn't understand a word."
With the depth of water and silt, combined with the ten acres of the lotus pond, we can calculate how much water will be discharged, how much silt will be transported out, and how much soil will be needed to fill it up."
Zong Xu: "Others:"" Zong Xu couldn't help but reach out and tap Wei Xi's eyebrows, "Xixi, do you remember the purpose of your coming?"
”Wei Xi: "This was a completely subconscious reaction, and she almost forgot that she was going to find out the strangeness of the night fog in this lotus pond.She was still more or less affected."
I'm looking for this, I'm looking for it."
Everyone who was attracted by Wei Xi's repeated actions also followed.After turning around the lotus pond, Luo Sheng saw that Wei Xi asked Xiao Qi to first take a glass jar of water, and then picked lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and even some aquatic plants did not let go of each and picked some back, and dug up the silt, and after a while, he put a lot of them on the boat, and couldn't help but speak: "Niangniang, what are you doing with these things?"
”Wei Xi turned his head to look at him, "The weirdness in the fog, the water, the plants in the water, and even the silt may be the reason, I'm going to go back and try it separately." ”Luo Sheng was still a little incredulous after hearing this, "How do you try this?"
”"I naturally have a way."
Luo Sheng: "He really shouldn't have asked, and he was even more curious after asking."
Wei Xi then looked at Zong Xu, "Your Majesty, I have to go to Taoyuan Town to live for two days. ”Zong Xu pointed to the large pile that came out of the water, "Try them?"
”Wei Xi nodded, "The conditions in the palace are not enough, I have to go to the Gewu Academy, Zhou Yuanna has enough things." ”When I returned to the shore, it was already past lunchtime, and there were many ripe lotus pods in the lotus pond, but no one dared to eat them until they understood the strangeness of the lotus pond."
Let's just stay here for now, maybe we need it later."
Mo Jiu nodded.After moving all the things on the boat and putting them in the carriage, Mo Jiu drove the carriage back to Taoyuan Town first.Wei Xi and Zong Xu got into another carriage and walked a while after going out of the manor, and there were many voices outside.There was a stack of shouting voices outside the car window, "Selling steamed buns, fragrant and soft big meat buns, two dollars a piece." ”Wei Xi listened in the carriage and swallowed silently, and asked Zong Xu, who was sitting opposite, "Your Majesty, are you hungry?"
”Zong Xu saw Wei Xi's action of swallowing saliva in his eyes, and hooked his lips, "A little." ”Wei Xi immediately stretched out his hand and patted the carriage door, "Xiao Qi, go buy some buns and come back." ”Xiao Qi replied hello, and after a while, he knocked on the door of the carriage and handed over a few large meat buns wrapped in oiled paper, "Niangniang, Your Majesty, be careful of burning." ”As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Xi had already touched the bun and then retracted her hand sharply, pinching her earlobe.Xiao Qi silently pushed the door of the box.Zong Xu took the oil paper bag from Wei Xi's hand, spread it out and cooled it a little, and then handed it to Wei Xi, "Taste it." ”Wei Xi stretched out his hand and touched it, and saw that it was not hot, and when he picked it up and was about to bite it, he heard Zong Xu remind, "Be careful that the meat filling inside is still hot." ”She immediately swapped the big mouth for a small one.Five buns, Wei Xi ate one and a half and was full, and Zong Xu wrapped the remaining three and a half.The carriage stopped at the intersection, and the buns were just finished.Zong Xu wiped his hands for a moment, "I'll go down." ”Wei Xi stretched out his hand to hug him and comforted: "I'll be back in almost two days, if it's fast, I'll be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”Zong Xu hummed lightly, tightened his arms a little, and after a while, he let go of the person in his arms, got up and got out of the carriage.Xiao Qi drove the carriage to the city gate, Luo Sheng led two horses and followed behind Zong Xu who watched the carriage leave, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you will look like you have been abandoned and driven off the carriage, and you are not willing to hope that the people in the carriage will turn back to save your little" The latter words were stuck in his throat.Zong Xu retracted his cold gaze, stretched out his hand to pull the reins, turned over and pulled the reins of the other horse, and then pulled the reins of the other horse and threw it into Gu Xing's hand on the other side, and glanced at Luo Sheng lightly with a condescending gaze, "Do you still have the leisure to read the script?"
Let's run back to the palace!
”Gu Xing also followed on the horse, and arched his hand towards Luo Sheng helplessly, "Luo Guard, the old slave is also one step ahead." ”"Smack!"
Luo Sheng couldn't help but pat his mouth, "Call you cheap!"
