Empress Zhangsun watched the siblings leave before asking Li Shimin for instructions: "This concubine will go see Changle now."
Li Shimin nodded dejectedly. If nothing unexpected happened, the flower that he had painstakingly raised would be taken away by that brat Meton.
Inside Changle Palace, in Princess Changle's boudoir, Princess Changle, who had already washed and dressed up, was sitting at the dressing table. She looked at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror. Her face would blush for a moment, then reveal a sweet smile for a moment. Clearly, she was recalling today's events and felt both sweet and shy.
Empress Zhangsun waved her hand to dismiss the palace maids and quietly entered Changle's boudoir.
"Our Changle has grown up! She is going to get married. "
Empress Zhangsun slowly walked forward and picked up a comb to gently comb Changle's hair.
"Imperial Mother!"
Changle looked at Empress Zhangsun's figure in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but lean into her mother's embrace.
"Imperial Mother believes that Meton can create the magic mirror so much?" Changle curiously raised her head to look at Empress Zhangsun.
Empress Zhangsun said seriously: "Meton may lie and make mistakes in other matters, but when it comes to betrothal gifts, Meton will definitely not speak carelessly."
"Imperial Mother, do you think there really is a magic mirror in this world?" Princess Changle couldn't help but look forward to it. Which woman in this world didn't want to possess such a miraculous magic mirror?
"If there really is a magic mirror, then only my Princess Changle deserves to possess it. My family's Princess Changle is the most beautiful woman in the world." Empress Zhangsun hugged Princess Changle and said gently.
Princess Changle immediately said shyly: "How can Changle compare to Imperial Mother? In Changle's heart, Imperial Mother is the most beautiful."
In Changle's palace, the mother and daughter were having intimate conversations because they both knew that there would be fewer and fewer days like today.
On the streets of Chang 'an City.
In a new type of carriage, Wu Meiniang looked at Meton who was deep in thought. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask!" Meton said helplessly.
Wu Meiniang immediately asked impatiently: "Master, is there really a magic mirror in this world?"
It wasn't just Princess Changle. There was probably no woman in the world who didn't want to possess such a mirror. Although Wu Meiniang was only ten years old, she already had a love for beauty.
Meton explained: "The so-called mirror is nothing more than the School of Mo's optical reaction. You can read the chapter of 'The Next Book of Mo'."
"First Book of Mo '."
"Book of Mo '. Book of Mo'."
"Book of Mo '. Book of Mo'."
… … …
Wu Meiniang immediately nodded and recited the eight sections of the School of Mo '.
Mo Dun nodded his head in satisfaction. "Master has been teaching you this lesson because Mo School is built on the shoulders of its predecessors. If you want to learn Mo School, you must have a solid foundation, and accumulate enough knowledge before you can succeed. Otherwise, everything is just a castle in the air."
"Castle in the air?" Wu Meiniang nodded.
Meton continued: "Having the wisdom and knowledge of the ancestors is the foundation. Brother Mo Jiazi and I are using this knowledge to decipher the various phenomena of the world. Using the unsolved mysteries for our own use is the ultimate path of the School of Mo."
Wu Meiniang said thoughtfully: "Master, you mean that the opportunity for the School of Mo lies in the signs of the world."
"Of course. How can the School of Mo create something out of thin air behind closed doors?" Meton nodded.
Wu Meiniang was unconvinced: "But how can there really be a magic mirror that can speak in this world?"
Meton shook his head and laughed: "Then do you know the principle behind the mirror?"
"This student believes that the principle behind the mirror is that the light reflects one's shadow in the mirror." Wu Meiniang replied.
Morton nodded and said, "I call this phenomenon a reflection. You can think about where you can see yourself on a daily basis."
"This student usually uses a bronze mirror to comb my hair. When I wash myself in the basin in the morning, I have seen my own reflection. Sometimes, I can see my reflection on a shiny sword …" Wu Meiniang thought about it and told him everything she knew.
Meton nodded and turned his head to look out the window. His heart skipped a beat: "Tie An, stop the carriage!"
"Yes! Young Master! "Tie An replied and the carriage slowly stopped.
"Let's get off!" Meton said and got off the carriage first.
After Wu Meiniang got off the carriage, she realized that the carriage had unknowingly reached a small bridge over a river in Chang 'an City. The master and disciple walked to the bridge. Meton pointed at the bottom of the bridge and said: "What about now?"
Wu Meiniang looked down and saw the reflection of an arch bridge on the water below the bridge. The two figures on the bridge could be seen clearly.
"If you see this calm surface of the water as a mirror, you'll see the light," Moton said loudly.
"Using water as a mirror?"
Wu Meiniang looked up from the bridge and saw the reflection of the trees on both sides of the river. The blue sky and white clouds could be seen clearly, but it was much clearer than the reflection in the bronze mirror.
Meton recalled: "When I was on an expedition to Tuyuhun, I saw a magical place called Chaka Salt Lake. The lake there was clear and calm like a mirror. The entire sky was reflected there. It was not an exaggeration to call it the Sky Realm."
"But water can only be placed horizontally. Only deep water can reflect the clearest image." Wu Meiniang frowned and pondered. Suddenly, she came to a realization and said, "That's right. Water is colorless and transparent. Our Mohism's glass has the same effect. Master must be thinking of using glass as a mirror!"
Modun couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang with admiration. Her intelligence alone was enough to make her his disciple. He admitted without hesitation, "That's right. I'm going to use glass as a mirror!"
"But I have seen glass before. It can't reflect my figure at all." Wu Meiniang was puzzled.
Meton smiled but did not say anything. Instead, he pointed to the river and said: "Then why can the river reflect your figure?"
Wu Meiniang blurted out without thinking: "Because there is a river bottom!"
After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she could not help but be stunned. She suddenly stood there as if she was struck by lightning. The river was like a mirror. On the one hand, there was a calm water surface and a bottomless river bottom. If the bottom of the transparent glass had something similar to the river bottom, wouldn't it make a real clear mirror?
"Now you understand the meaning of Mo Skill." Meton reminded.
Wu Meiniang nodded silently and bowed: "Thank you for your teaching, Master."
Although Meton did not teach her a word of Mo Classic, today's lesson opened a new door for her. It turned out that the knowledge of Mo Family was hidden in the things they saw in daily life. "
"Then I will give you the first lesson. Make a mirror with glass in five days. You can allocate all the resources in the Mo Family Village. After five days, I will check in person." Meton said solemnly.
"Ah!" Wu Meiniang suddenly looked at Merton with surprise and worry: "But I am afraid of delaying Master's marriage!"
Meton suddenly laughed angrily: "I can make my own mirror. I don't need your help!"
Wu Meiniang awkwardly stuck out her tongue and quickly said: "Yes! Master, I will do my best and will not let you down! "
