Empress Chang sun watched her brothers and sisters leave. Then she asked Li Shimin for instructions and said, "my concubine, I'm going to see Changle now."
Li Shimin nodded sadly. If there was no accident, the flower he worked hard to raise would be carried away by the smelly boy Merton.
In the palace of Changle, in the boudoir of Princess Changle, Changle, who had already been groomed and dressed, sat on the dresser and looked at his beautiful face in the bronze mirror. For a while, he blushed and smiled sweetly. Obviously, it was sweet and shy to recall today's events.
Empress Chang sun waved Gong e back and quietly entered Changle's boudoir.
"Our Changle has grown up! We are getting married."
Empress changsun walked forward slowly, picked up the comb and gently combed it on Changle's beautiful hair.
"Mother!"
Changle looked at the bronze mirror and the figure of empress changsun snuggled up in her mother's arms.
"The empress mother believed that Merton could make magic mirrors?" Changle looked up curiously at the empress changsun.
Empress Chang Sun said positively, "in other places, Merton may lie and make mistakes, but on the bride price, Merton will certainly not talk casually."
"Empress mother, do you think there is a magic mirror in the world?" Princess Changle couldn't help but look forward to saying, which woman in the world doesn't want to have such a magic mirror.
"If there is a magic mirror, it's my Changle who deserves it, and my Changle princess is the most beautiful woman in the world." empress changsun hugged the Changle princess in her arms and said softly.
Princess Changle immediately said with a shy face, "Changle can't compare with her mother. In Changle's heart, her mother is the most beautiful."
In the Changle palace, the mother and daughter talk about themselves, because they both know that there are probably fewer and fewer days like today,
On the streets of Chang'an city.
On a new carriage, Wu Meiniang looked at Merton with a thoughtful face and wanted to stop talking.
"Ask what you want!" Merton said helplessly.
Wu Meiniang couldn't wait and said, "master, is there really a magic mirror in the world?"
It's not just Princess Changle. I'm afraid no woman in the world doesn't want to have such a mirror. Although Wu Meiniang is only ten years old, she already has a love for beauty.
Merton explained: "the so-called mirror is just the optical reaction of Mohism. You can read the chapter of the second chapter of the Mojing."
"Jiantuan Jingyi."
"Jing Buqian said he was changing to!"
"Live in Jinger, say again."
………………
Wu Meiniang immediately nodded and recited the eight pieces of ink Sutra one by one.
Merton nodded with satisfaction and said, "as a teacher, I have been besieging the city to teach you a lesson because Mohism is based on the shoulders of our ancestors. If you want to learn Mohism, you must have a solid foundation, accumulate thick and thin hair, otherwise everything is just a castle in the air."
"Castles in the air?" Wu Meiniang nodded.
Merton then said, "with the wisdom and knowledge of our predecessors, it is the foundation. Our Mohist children are using this knowledge to solve all kinds of phenomena in the world. The ultimate way of Mohism is to use unsolved mysteries for themselves."
Wu Meiniang said thoughtfully, "master, it means that the opportunity of Mohism is in the signs between heaven and earth."
"That's nature. How can Mohism create things behind closed doors and out of thin air!" Merton nodded.
Wu Mei Niang refused: "but how can there really be a talking magic mirror in this world?"
Merton shook his head and smiled. He said, "do you know the principle of a mirror?"
"Students think that the principle of mirror is that light reflects the shadow in the mirror." Wu Meiniang replied.
Merton nodded and said, "my teacher calls this phenomenon reflection. You can think about where you can see yourself on weekdays."
"Students usually comb their hair with bronze mirrors. When they wash in the basin in the morning, they have seen their own figure. Sometimes they can see their figure on the smooth sword,......" Wu Meiniang thought and said what she knew one by one.
Merton nodded, looked out of the window and said, "Tie'an, stop!"
"Yes, young master!" said Tie'an, and the carriage stopped slowly.
"Get out of the car!" said Merton.
After Wu Meiniang got off the bus, she found that the carriage had unknowingly been in front of a small river bridge in Chang'an city. The teachers and disciples walked to the bridge. Merton pointed to the bridge and said, "what about now?"
When Wu Meiniang looked, she saw an arch bridge reflected on the water under the bridge, and the figures of the two people on the bridge were clearly visible.
"If you look at the calm water as a mirror, you will suddenly see the light," Merton Lang said.
"Taking water as a mirror?"
Wu Meiniang raised her head and looked from the bridge. On the calm river, the shadows of trees on both sides of the river were reflected. The blue sky and white clouds were clearly visible, which could be much clearer than in a bronze mirror.
Merton recalled: "when I was a teacher on the expedition to Tuyuhun, I once saw a magical place, Chaka Salt Lake, where the lake was clear and calm as a mirror, and the whole sky was reflected. It's not too much to call it the land of the sky."
"But the water can only be placed horizontally, and only the deeper water can reflect the clearest image." Wu Meiniang frowned and thought about the cableway, and suddenly realized, "yes, water is colorless and transparent, and my Mohist glass has the same effect. The master must want to use glass as a mirror!"
Merton couldn't help looking at Wu Meiniang with appreciation. This wisdom alone was enough to be his disciple. At present, he admitted without hesitation: "yes, being a teacher is preparing to use glass as a mirror!"
"But I've seen the glass, and I can't see my figure at all?" Wu Meiniang didn't understand.
Merton smiled without saying anything. Instead, he pointed to the river and said, "why can the river reflect people?"
Wu Meiniang blurted out without thinking: "because there is a river bottom!"
Wu Meiniang was stunned when she said that she was suddenly struck by lightning. The river was like a mirror. On the one hand, there was a calm water surface and a deep bottomless river bottom. If there was something similar to the river bottom on the bottom of the transparent glass, wouldn't it create a really clear mirror.
"You can understand the meaning of ink technology now," Merton said.
Wu Mei Niang nodded silently, bowed and said, "thank you for your teaching."
Although Merton didn't teach him a word of the Mojing, today's class opened a new door for her. It turned out that the knowledge of the Mohists was hidden in what they usually see. "
"Then I'll give you the first lesson. I'll make a mirror out of glass within five days. All the resources of Mojia village can be deployed with you. After five days, I'll check it myself." Merton solemnly said.
"Ah!" Wu Meiniang looked at Merton with surprise and worry, "but I'm afraid to delay the master's marriage!"
Merton was angry and said with a smile, "the mirror for the teacher will be made by himself. How can you help!"
Wu Mei Niang was embarrassed and put out her tongue. She hurriedly said, "yes, master, I will go all out and won't let master down!"
