Chapter VIII The First Effect of Practice

When I woke up the next morning, I felt that I woke up much earlier than usual, and I was still in good spirits. Li Jiancheng knew that this was the reason for practicing "The Eternal Life". When I went out, I found a guard and asked me. I realized that it was Mao Shi. Alas! I had to ask people if I wanted to know the time. By the way, I made a sundial for myself first.

The sundial is timed by the sun's shadow moving, corresponding to the scale on the dial surface. The sundial is also an instrument for observing the sun's shadow timing. It mainly determines the time or number of inscribed according to the position of the sun's shadow. The main components of the sundial are composed of a sundial needle and a sundial surface engraved with engraved lines. As the sun moves in the sky, the projection of the sundial needle moves on the dial surface like a pointer of a clock, which can indicate the time.

I thought of it and went to do it. I found some materials in front of his yard. I found a place where the sunlight was easier to shine. Then I put the sundial in order to see the direction of the pointer and pointed directly below the disc. That is to say, it is only 6 o'clock now. It seems that it is still very early. I played the old ladies and old men in the yard and practiced Tai Chi in the park. I went back to my room to continue practicing my "Eternal Life". This is the foundation for saving my life in the future. After the practice is finished, I went out to see that it was only 7 o'clock, haha!

It’s good to see the time, but he’s depressed again after a while. What should I do if it’s raining? Forget it and don’t care about him, use it first. Then find a way to make a more advanced one later. When I came to the hall, I happened to see my father and mother having dinner. In ancient times, the working hours were Chenshi, which is now 7-9 o’clock, and I can go anytime at this time, but I have to go to Shenshi to get off work, which is around 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I can’t come back in the middle, otherwise I’ll be considered as a dereliction of duty.

"Huh? Cheng'er, why did you get up so early today? It's normal that all three of you brothers get up very late." The mother asked strangely, holding Li Xiuning in her hand and feeding her to the point of being confused. There is no milk powder in this era, so of course there is no need to worry about "melamine".

"Oh! Maybe I went to bed early last night, so I got up early." Of course, Li Jiancheng couldn't say that he had practiced the peerless magic skills, so he was in good spirits. You should know that he is only 7 years old now and doesn't know a few words in the eyes of adults. How could he understand the things in martial arts secrets? So he decided not to tell what happened last night, otherwise it would be difficult to explain it at that time. He could only wait for a chance to speak out later. Now that he wants to find a way to let a few men practice internal energy, his mother has no choice but to be unsuitable for practicing.

"By the way, Cheng'er, did you find strangers last night? You didn't respond if I knocked on your door." The father asked while eating steamed buns. Li Jiancheng almost bit his tongue after hearing this. He looked up and saw his father's expression, and seemed to know nothing.

"No! I went to bed early last night. Is there anything wrong?" Li Jiancheng pretended to be stupid. It turned out that his father was knocking on the door last night, and he wasn't dreaming.

"Yesterday someone broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor without success, so Daxing is under martial law today. If you go out today, be careful, know if it is." Li Yuan said while eating steamed buns. At this time, Li Jiancheng was filled with happiness, and it felt so good that someone cared about it.

"By the way, father. Do you know where to make glass?" Li Jiancheng asked.

"Glass? What?" my father asked strangely.

"..." Li Jiancheng forgot that the glass in this era was not called glass, but "Medicine Jade". Why is it called medicine jade? It was because glass was made like a scented like jade. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was called "Jian Yu", so he said it again.

"Oh! Yao Yu, just say it directly, and you have to say something about glass." Seeing Li Yuan still continuing, Li Jiancheng interrupted him decisively, "You child, your father interrupts you casually. Yao Yu is in the north of the city, and some merchants outside the territory are making it there." Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's interruption, he might have been used to it, so he just told Li Jiancheng where the glass was.

"Hehe! Thank you father. I'm full and leave first." After saying that, Li Jiancheng ran back to his room.

"Look at this child, you have spoiled it." Dou Xian said with a smile when she saw Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan like this.

"It's good! A family must look like a family. When Shimin and Yuanji talk to me, they are trembling, afraid of being scolded by me! No way for a family to do this!" Li Yuan sighed.

"Yes! Jiancheng's child feels like an adult, haha." Dou Xian smiled, not knowing that her words were close to the truth. After saying that, she continued to feed Li Xiuning.

...

After Li Jiancheng returned to the room, he dug up a few bricks under the floor near the bed, and he could clearly see a small box inside. He carefully took out the box, which was something he had hidden for a long time. He put some gold, silver and jewelry inside, all given by his parents during festivals, and now it is finally time to use it. He took out the only ingots of gold and silver, put the jewelry back, and then put the book "The Eternal Life Skill" in. The bricks were covered. Seeing that there was no problem, Li Jiancheng clapped his hands and prepared to go out.

"Brother, you're getting up too, are you going to have a meal?" Li Shimin happened to walk out of his house and asked when he saw Li Jiancheng.

It’s a joke that he can’t say that he has eaten and is going out. So Li Jiancheng nodded to "happy" and then walked towards the hall, while Li Shimin followed Li Jiancheng, and as for Li Yuanji, he was probably still sleeping.

"Father, mother is early!" Seeing Li Yuan and Dou Xian having dinner, Li Shimin stepped forward and said, "Good morning" and sat down to prepare for breakfast. Then he turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng, but the more he looked, the more strange it became, why did the elder brother walk towards the front door?

"Mother, why don't you eat breakfast?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.

"Oh! Cheng'er has finished eating, and he is probably going out." Dou Xian said while feeding Li Xiuning.

"What! Brother, you lied to me again." Li Shimin said indignantly. After saying that, he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and prepared to follow him out.

"I'm back, I haven't finished my meal yet, where are you going to go? Also, you're still young, don't run around alone, do you know?" Dou Xian said "viciously".

"But, brother, he..." Li Shimin said aggrievedly. Brother can run out, why can't I run out?

"Your elder brother is much more sensible than you. If you don't take you, don't run outside without your elder brother. If you want to go out, wait for you to grow older." Dou Xian continued to teach her a lesson.

"Oh! I understand." Li Shimin responded, and cursed in his heart: Brother is so bad. He ran away alone and didn't take me to play, which made me bored at home alone.

"Haha, I finally have no tail to follow today." Li Jiancheng ran outside and laughed. Thinking of the future Taizong's aggrieved look, he couldn't help laughing.

"Well, now we will set the tools for making wine first, and then find a house to open a hotel." Li Jiancheng thought about it and walked towards the north of the city.
