Chapter 124 Want to make cement
The third prince told Zheng Sisi about tomorrow's arrangements and had dinner at Zheng's house before going home. Very good, today we had fried pork with spring bamboo shoots again.
In the evening, Zheng Sisi sat at the desk, supporting her chin with both hands, looking at the two drawings in front of her.
How can I give it to the Third Prince without arousing his suspicion? And what should I answer if he asks where the blueprint came from? What should I say if the characters are different? I am so troubled!
Unable to think of a perfect excuse, she gave up and went back to looking for a book in the bookcase.
She wanted to make cement when she was building a pig farm on the farm.
A house built with cement is sturdy and easy to clean, but unfortunately she is not very clear about what materials are needed and it also requires testing, and the pig farm cannot wait.
Zheng Sisi first looked for the agricultural book with two pages torn in the bookcase, picked it up and turned to the torn page, which was now intact.
Zheng Sisi had never expected that books could also be repaired.
Zheng Sisi also felt relieved. If there was any danger in this strange ancient time, she could hide in the space. As long as she didn't go out, she wouldn't starve to death for decades. With so many books, she wouldn't be bored either. It was like having a life-saving talisman.
She then looked for books on chemistry and physics to see if she could find out how cement was made.
I didn’t find it until the alarm rang. I stood up and stretched. Time passed so quickly. I’ll look for it next time.
He slipped out of the space, climbed onto the bed and had a good sleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, everyone knew that the girl was going to enter the palace, so they got up early to prepare.
Because she did not have to attend the morning court like the other court officials, she had plenty of time. After running and washing, Dongzhi dressed her up and made her look beautiful.
Zheng Sisi refused: "I came to the palace today to participate in the farm tool comparison test, not to attend the palace banquet. It's not good to dress so solemnly. I want to try farm tools later. Will this dress be a hindrance?"
Dongzhi thought about it and felt that what the girl said made sense, so he changed her into a simpler Confucian dress.
Before going out, Zheng Sisi quietly filled a cloth bag with corn kernels and tied it around her waist.
When they arrived at the gate, the third prince was leaning against the carriage and had been waiting for a while.
Because maids were not allowed into the palace, everyone stayed in the mansion, and they felt at ease leaving the girl to the Third Prince.
When I arrived at the palace gate, there were not many people entering or leaving the palace.
The two men got out of the car, and a manager from the Ministry of Works got down from the carriage parked nearby.
He walked up to the Third Prince and bowed, "Your humble servant greets the Third Prince. I have brought all the farm tools with me. They are on the cart."
The Third Prince: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go back first."
The man bowed and left. The third prince came to the carriage, lifted the curtain and took a look. Everything was fully prepared.
At this time, a eunuch walked out of the palace gate. Zheng Sisi looked over and found that it was Eunuch Mu.
Zheng Sisi curtseyed: "Eunuch Mu."
Eunuch Mu flicked his whisk and clasped his hands together: "Your servant greets the Third Prince and Miss Zheng."
Zheng Sisi: "Why did Eunuch Mu come here in person?"
Eunuch Mu: "The emperor is worried that they will not be able to handle the matter properly and waste time, so he sent this old servant to pick them up personally. Miss Zheng, please get in the carriage first, and this old servant will drive the carriage."
Zheng Sisi got on the carriage. There were many things in it, so she reluctantly sat down. The Third Prince and Eunuch Mu sat on the shaft of the carriage, and Eunuch Mu drove the carriage.
The guards guarding the palace gate were all stunned, wondering who the girl was!
There seemed to be no such person among the women of officials. It seemed that the Third Prince and Eunuch Mu were very polite to her. Eunuch Mu even came to pick her up personally and drove the carriage for her.
They had a hundred thousand questions in their minds, but they did not dare to stop Eunuch Mu's carriage. Even if they had a hundred courages, they would not dare to stop it because Eunuch Mu was a favorite of the Emperor, and everything he said represented the Emperor.
They could only watch blankly as the carriage drove into the palace gate, their eyes following it for a long time.
