    Probably because Tian Xiu's expression was a little serious and his tone was a little deep when he spoke, Wang Shaoqing, who was picking up a bunch of sesame oil and scallions, glanced at her in surprise.  Although his job is in the Taishi Bureau, due to the matter of observing the heavenly instrument, he has spent most of his time in the Ministry of Works yamen recently. Although he did not get anything done, he made a lot of acquaintances.  Others thought that he was old and worked in the Qingshui Yamen of the Taishi Bureau, and did not have the dignity of a sixth-rank Shaoqing, so they liked to talk to him in irrelevant gossip after official duties.  After going back and forth, he heard some interesting anecdotes about the Ministry of Industry.  Didn't it mean that Tian Qingshan was quite prejudiced against Shangying County? The gap between the two was still very deep. How could such deep words come out of her mouth?  Where is the barrier? This is nothing more than a close friend who loves each other, right?

    Wang Shaoqing chewed the scallions slowly, as if he was savoring the fragrance of the scallions poured with sesame oil.  He was a little confused, so he decided not to speak for now.

    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tian Xiu felt that he didn't say it right.  It wasn't that there was anything wrong with her words, but it was inappropriate for her to say them at the right time. She shouldn't have said them to an unrelated person in a wine shop.  However, she didn't think it was a big deal.  This is a very pertinent evaluation, and Shang Yanshan¡¯s actions should also deserve such an evaluation!  Otherwise, when Shang Cheng got angry at Linyuan Pavilion that night, Chen Pu and Shangguan Rui would not have remained silent

    But her words were inappropriate after all and inevitably diluted the atmosphere of the conversation.  Both of them had no intention of talking for a moment.

    At this time, the fish dumplings are ready.

    The shopkeeper of the restaurant repeatedly boasted about how well he cooked the fish fillet and how fine the various ingredients he used were. However, the two of them couldn't match the shopkeeper's enthusiasm, so they had to reluctantly take a piece - nothing more than that, just to benefit his family.  The sauce is well made, and it is more delicious than the usual fish meat; it is not exquisite in any way but I can think of this.  Wang Shaoqing took a sip of white wine to wash away the fishy smell in his mouth, nodded slightly and said to the shopkeeper with an expectant look on his face: "Just like this shredded fish and sauce, have a plate!"

    The shopkeeper agreed enthusiastically, and happily ran to the back to fillet the fish.

    Tian Xiu can drink some liquor.  But she had to go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry soon, so she didn't accompany Wang Shaoqing, and only had a cup of Baihua brew to suit the occasion.

    Wang Shaoqing was not good at wine, so he drank two glasses of white wine by himself, and his face turned a little red.  He chewed a few fried soybeans and suddenly said with emotion: "Mr. Tian, ??do you think this celestial observer is going through such trouble?"

    Tian Xiu put the wine cup to his lips back on the table and said: "This is a new technique. There are no ready-made objects and techniques for us to refer to. We can only explore step by step. This is pretty fast."  When we were making glass in the past, the situation was even more desolate than the scene before us. The amount of glass burned out every day was tens or even hundreds of pieces, not counting labor, but only in terms of money. It made people jump with anxiety, but there was nothing we could do about it.  No. Well, what I said is wrong. It's not that it's burned out, but that it can't be burned at all! No matter how big the kiln is or how powerful the fire is, the base material filled into the furnace cannot be burned at all  "A bitter melancholy suddenly came to her heart, and she couldn't continue talking.  She picked up the wine cup, lowered her head and took a big sip. The sour wine with a hint of bitterness immediately filled her chest Others only saw the twenty-fifth division of the six departments that the imperial court was going to open, and they only saw her as a woman with no fame.  The Sicao doctors who will soon reach the fifth rank are all envious of her beauty and knowledge. Who knows how much ups and downs are hidden behind this honor?  Although she is a girl, she is not inferior to men in terms of talent, learning, and wisdom. What makes her especially proud is that her determination is strong and can not be invaded by external things. No matter what she does, she always has a beginning and an end, and never gives up halfway.  !  However, during that difficult time, she also wavered several times As the person in charge of the glass-making technology, under her supervision, the Ministry of Industry threw away more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan for several months.  Copper coins, but not even a splash appeared. The pressure was too great.  Not only were people outside laughing at her, but many people in the Gongbu Yamen were also talking to her face and behind her back. Even though her teacher Chang Xiu and the Gongbu Yamen supported her, she herself felt ashamed.  Several times, she wrote all the resignation documents and took them with her, but in the end she never took them out.  She knew very well that she did not resign voluntarily not because she was reluctant to leave her official position, nor because she was afraid of being humiliated and embarrassed because of this incident.  The reason why she did not resign was because she believed that the glass was not groundless!  Since the imperial court was willing to gather troops for the Jinshan and Yinshan of the Eastern Japanese Kingdom that Shang Yanshan "heard about on the road", and the clan was willing to spend thousands of dollars for a picture cake called the Eastern Japanese Strategy, then why couldn't she be so angry that she must take it?  What about burning the glass?  Since so many people believed Shang Yanshan's lies, why couldn't she believe it just once?  In short, even if she is angry, she will burn the glass out!  And she succeeded.  Although the skills are veryIt's rough, and whether it can be fired depends on a bit of luck, but the glass is always fired.  At least it can be proved that apart from crystal, liquid, and water glass, there is indeed such a thing as glass, and the Gongbu Yamen is the only place that masters the entire glass firing process.  To be more precise, this place is the Patent Department of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry

    Wang Shaoqing drank another glass of wine.  Now his hands were shaking a little. He pointed at the plate with soybeans several times with his chopsticks, but they couldn't hold them firmly. He had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and reached out to grab a few cloves of vinegar and garlic.  While tearing off the garlic skin, he said to Tian Xiu: "You said two days ago that Uncle Yingxian had told you the secret of making a celestial observatory. Then why can't you even make a telescope?  "

    It seems that he is really drunk.  Otherwise, it would be impossible for a sophisticated man like him to say such offending words.

    Of course Tian Xiu cannot be on the same level as him.  Before going to Xiaoluofang, she discussed it carefully with others and found that Shang Cheng's method was absolutely correct. It should be easy to fix the knife and the copper pipe, and then use the knife to carve screw threads on the copper pipe.  But no one expected that things would be far more difficult than they imagined.  It was easy to make an iron frame to hold the knives, but the copper pipes and the knives couldn't match each other. Seven or eight officials and 20 or 30 master craftsmen worked around the iron frame for five days. In the end, there was no way to do it.  The craftsmen continued as before, holding knives and slowly digging out the lines on the copper pipe bit by bit.  This is a delicate job, and it may not be possible to accomplish it in ten days and a half, so they had to come back in despair She said: "Uncle Ying said this to me, and I also remembered it verbatim. Who knows?"  I know" She shook her head and sighed angrily.  She had reason to be angry.  She felt that if Shang Cheng had been more attentive at that time, she wouldn't have had to make the trip in vain!  Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you want to blame it, you can only blame Shang Zida!  Just blame this guy for not caring!

    Wang Shaoqing was already a bit drunk. He put the empty wine cup on the table with resentment, snorted and said, "If you ask me, it's all Shang Yanshan's fault for being so precious!"

    These words spoke to Tian Xiu¡¯s heart.  She immediately felt like a confidant to Wang Shaoqing.  But she still defended Shang Cheng: "It can't be said that he doesn't show his wealth to others. His daily affairs are complicated, and it is impossible to take care of everything comprehensively"

    "Yes, Uncle Ying is busy with chores and is a busy man." Wang Shaoqing grinned and said disdainfully, "When he is not playing chess with Gu Poyang, he is accompanying the daughter of the Hou family of Poyang to appreciate bamboos. When he is bored, he takes a group of people everywhere.  Go and chisel stone"

    Tian Xiu laughed.  Nanyang and Chen Pu had told her several times about the chess match between Shang Cheng and Poyang Hou Gushi; she had also heard from Nanyang about Shang Cheng's desire to carve a dragon out of the stone; however, the matter of appreciating bamboo was not  This is the first time I heard about it.  It seems that Wang Shaoqing knows better than Nanyang and Chen Pu what Shang Yanshan is doing on weekdays.

    Wang Shaoqing smacked his lips, looked up at the beams, pondered for a long time, and said, "We have to find a way to ask Uncle Ying County to help us again!"

    "That's difficult." Tian Xiu smiled and helped him fill the cup with some more liquor and said, "If he doesn't take it seriously, there probably won't be anyone who can instigate him."

    "There is always a way" Wang Shaoqing put his fingers on the table and tapped it gently, frowning and thinking about good ideas.
