Chapter 1417 (2/2)

Other fixed time, there are Xiangzhuan, sand clock, oil lamp clock, candle.

But the general city is based on the local bell tower and drum tower to see the time.

Every hour, the bell tower and Drum Tower will ring and drum.

In the daytime, it is to ring the bell; at night, it is to play the watch.

But it's not very accurate.

This is why there were only one to five shifts in ancient times, and there was no more detailed time division.

It's because the accuracy of time is not high, so we can only say the approximate time.

However, in some rural areas where conditions are not allowed, time can only be judged by life experience.

They depend on the position of the sun and the moon in different seasons.

About what time, where will the sun and the moon be.

In this case, in case of bad weather and the sun and moon in the clouds, it is difficult to judge, and even more inaccurate.

However, as early as the opening of the thirteen line trade in the Qing Dynasty, many Western clocks and pocket watches were introduced to the Qing Dynasty.

Ordinary people eat is a problem, naturally can not afford to buy a watch.

Only some nobles bought Western clocks and watches in order to determine the time more conveniently.

As for pocket watches, they are more expensive than clocks and watches. Most of them are bought by men with power, status and taste.

Because most women like jewelry, they are not very interested in it.

I've seen some of Huaiyin's watches before, and they're not like.But the pocket watch that the fourth master gave her is very feminine and pretty.

At the moment, Ruoyin thought in his heart, when does the fourth master know women so well and understand her so much?

Each gift is what she likes.

But the anger in her heart cannot be erased by these gifts.

Ruoyin still has a sense even if she likes these gifts again.

She put down her pocket watch, pointed to the box of perfume powder and the watch, fanned the air on the tip of her nose with one hand, and said faintly, ”this perfume powder smells too heavy, so greasy. This pocket watch is OK. Make do with it. ”

Then she looked at the fourth master: ”nothing else?”

Fourth master: ”madam, these gifts were selected by the emperor many days in advance, especially the chain bag, which was specially made by craftsmen for half a month.” Su Peisheng is busy explaining.

The empress is really standing and talking without backache.

You know, as a cold emperor, it is not easy for the emperor to do these things.

But it doesn't seem to appreciate her so much.

He was worried that the emperor would not be in a good mood and threw away all the gifts carefully prepared.

As expected, Su Peisheng did not expect that the fourth master was not very good-looking, and said coldly: ”if you come, throw me all but your watch!”

Su Peisheng puffed his lips, thanks to the Queen's reluctance to say that the pocket watch was OK.

Otherwise, these gifts will not escape the fate of being thrown.

At this time, however, Ruoyin added fuel to the fire: ”as a female representative who rebelled against the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, I dare not spend your money. If I want anything, I have enough money to buy it. So, why don't you throw away the pocket watch as well. ”

In fact, it was not her intention.

But when she heard the fourth master saying that he would throw away the present that he had just given her, she just said this.

Since he doesn't care, what else does she care about.

It's the same every time. I only know how to solve the problem of violence.

Is that what you're trying to do?

”This...” Su Peisheng looked at the fourth master, and his forehead was sweating.

The emperor has come to celebrate the Qiqiao festival with the empress.

In addition, she was busy dealing with things and neglected the empress. She also took advantage of this day to coax her.

But the emperor's temper, coax coax, how to light oneself.

However, no matter who a cavity hot blood was poured cold water, will not be happy.

In particular, this man is still a king.
