The box was not big, but it was heavy enough for the petite Xiao Shishi. She struggled to carry it, but she just refused to let Zhu Cilang help.

The small wooden box is very old and seems to have been in the house for a long time. It is covered with dust.

Xiao Shishi moved the wooden box to the stone table in the yard, and she and Zhu Cilang stared at each other with big eyes.

Mrs. Chen is very busy. Boss Pig needs to be fed, and she also needs some housework. At home, Xiao Shishi and Zhu Cilang. The secret guards Meng Fanchao, Sun Wangcai and others dare to stand outside the yard and wait.

Zhu Cixuan held the music box in his hand and looked at the strange wooden box in front of him, which was a little strange.

The box was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had flipped it for a long time. Xiao Shishi blew like orchids and blew a breath into the box.

Then, Zhu Cixuan and her began to cough. The dust on the surface of the box made the two of them covered in their faces.

Xiao Shishi wanted to laugh, this was her first laugh in a long time. This laugh finally made her come out of the haze of her brother's death.

Afraid of continuing to touch her sad things, Zhu Cixuan did not dare to laugh, so he had to cover his mouth and nose: "What's the matter? What's here?"

The box was not locked, and Xiao Shishi opened the box and there were a bunch of parts inside.

Zhu Cilang was shocked. The things in the alley were all precision instruments and parts, such as clockwork, gears, striker, and even a tool similar to Newton's chaotic swaying.

This shocked Zhu Cilang, and even once doubted whether there was another time traveler. Otherwise, who would have created so many strange things in this era?

Xiao Shishi gave the answer: "This is left by my father, and I don't know what it is. Do you think it's the same as what you have in your hands?"

Xiao Shishi's father, Chen Muzhi, the head of the Ministry of Personnel during the Tianqi period. He admired Western culture and liked to study some Western technology and other things on weekdays.

Especially in the 28th year of the Ming Dynasty, Matteo Ricci, a Catholic missionary in the Wanli period, left behind many things that were regarded as strange tricks by the world at that time.

But Chen Muzhi liked to study these things. He even started to study Newton's chaos sway.

If it weren't for being framed by the eunuch party, maybe another brilliant physicist would have appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, creation is a mess. Before Chen Muzhi could figure out something, the case of the Six Gentlemen in Donglin was involved.

But these things are indeed not of much use. Xiao Shishi is young, so naturally she can't recognize the use of these things.

But it is a very useful thing for Zhu Cilang. First of all, among the small parts collected by Chen Muzhi, there are many Zhu Cilang that can be used and installed on his music box.

Especially the pinion he lost, the gear was actually not very sized. But Zhu Cilang couldn't find any other alternatives, but he found a gear of the right size in Shen Muzhi's wooden box.

Zhu Cilang was overjoyed, not just because he could repair the music box. But because he was eager for technology.

Today, the Ming Dynasty's industry is backward, and even iron smelting cannot be made. But Zhu Cixuan also hopes that one day in the future, the Ming Dynasty will have its own industrial revolution.

This is an era of progress. Without war or natural disasters, the budding capitalism in the late Ming Dynasty would likely stand tall in the world.

"Shishi, wait, I'll give you a good thing." Zhu Cilang happily selected various tools from the box, and then continued to dismantle his music box.

Zhu Cixuan was very serious when working, so serious that he almost lost me. He often held a certain part and put it into the music box.

Xiao Shishi held her cheek and looked at Zhu Cilang curiously. There was something different in her eyes.

Thanks to Chen Muzhi's things, Zhu Cilang's remade music box has better sound quality. After tightening the clockwork, he can continue to play for nearly half a minute.

Xiao Shishi's big watery eyes became more and more curious. She watched with her own eyes that the little prince put various parts into the wooden box, tightened the clockwork next to it, and then placed the music box on the stone table.

Ding ding dong dong... A cheerful song, as beautiful as a wind chime, was played from a small box.

Xiao Shishi's face was full of shock. When the music box made a sound, she jumped up like a frightened little rabbit. Then, she was attracted by the beautiful sound again.

The music box continued to tinkle and tinkle, and Xiao Shishi was immediately fascinated by the beautiful sound. She carefully picked up the music box, and the little horse in the music box was slowly rotating up and down...

Suddenly, the twirl of the twilight horse stopped and the music box disappeared.

"Yes, did I ruin it?" Xiao Shishi's face was full of horror.

Zhu Cilang smiled and had to call her with his own hands: "Here, every time the sound stops, you turn here. Listen, is it getting better again?"

The music box with the spring tightly started again, and Xiao Shishi held it in her palm and smiled so sweetly.

"I gave it to you." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.

Xiao Shishi was stunned, with a look of panic and joy: "Would you give this to me?"

Zhu Cilang nodded: "But you have to promise me that you must be happy every day. When you are unhappy, take it out and listen."

Xiao Shishi suddenly flashed her big watery eyes. Although she didn't understand the relationship between men and women. However, Zhu Cixuan was so kind to her, she still felt a different feeling in her heart.

"Your Highness, thank you."

"Don't call me Your Highness the Crown Prince. When there is no one, you should call me Boss Zhu." Zhu Cixuan said.

The pig boss in the East Courtyard heard this and hummed in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Shishi covered her mouth and laughed, nodding gently: "Okay, Boss Zhu."

She is so naive. If she had been born in this almost isolated Huajiazhuang all her life, she would have been happy for the rest of her life.

Zhu Cilang thought to himself that it was true that he liked this little girl. Zhu Cilang felt that he had also been baptized in this chaotic world where life was like grass.

How great would it be if the Ming Dynasty had no war or disasters, and all places were as quiet and peaceful as Huajiazhuang.

Hearing Xiao Shishi's call, the pig boss hummed and pouted its long pig's mouth. He lay on the courtyard wall to the east, looking up desperately. Generally, when the little master calls it, he will always give it some delicious food.

This time, Boss Pig miscalculated, and Xiao Shishi held her music box: "Boss Pig, be obedient, I didn't call you."

Zhu Cilang regretted it a little, and shouldn't have let her call him Boss Zhu.
