Chapter 383 Two Giant Pandas

"Yu~~" As soon as the groom pulled the reins, the four horses stopped almost at the same time.

When the curtain was lifted, Chen Xu also tidied up his clothes and came down from above. Looking at Princess Hua Yu who was waiting, he quickly bowed and bowed: "Chen Xu greets the fifth princess!"

Princess Huayu quickly turned sideways, saluting with a blushing face with a blushing face: "Shiman has seen the Marquis of Qinghe!"

After the two of them finished the ceremony, Chen Xu stared at the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and said, "Why don't the princess come to the house to welcome him into the living room to rest!"

"Don't blame them for being Qinghehou. Shiman came uninvited, but she didn't know that Qinghehou had gone to the factory, so she waited in the park, otherwise it would be rude!"

"Haha, the princess doesn't need to be so polite. You and I are not the old men in the court. You can be free and casual when you come to the mansion. Please go to the living room to rest and keep warm first. After I finish washing, arrange someone to play mahjong with the princess!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

Princess Huayu's cheeks were red and said softly: "Horse Qinghe, you are not in a hurry. Shiman has eaten the delicious and fragrant braised braised rice made by Hou Qinghe, and has been obsessed with it. Although the imperial kitchen in the palace also cooks some braised dishes on weekdays, it always feels that the taste is much worse. Moreover... and there are too many people in the palace, Shiman gets very few, so today I brought some ingredients here, hoping that the chefs at Hou Qinghe's mansion can help make some to satisfy Shiman's craving!"

Chen Xu couldn't help but look up and down at the little princess in front of him.

At the age of fifteen, he was just when he loved to eat and play. He was so beautiful that he should be classified as a foodie. As for those who were not beautiful and loved to eat, he was nicknamed dinosaurs.

Chen Xu naturally would not refuse the request of the fifth princess. After waved his hand and arranged it, a group of servants immediately gathered around and moved several baskets of ingredients from the carriage to the kitchen.

Finally, Chen Xu looked at the carriage covered by black cloth and asked curiously: "Princess, what is on this car? Why cover it up!"

"There are two white sprouts here, and the palace presented by hunters in the mountains a few months ago..."

The squid is a human bear, but in fact it is a brown bear. Because it is larger than a black bear and has a yellow and white fur, it is also called the squid. It is also widely distributed on the earth, and the colder the more places it is. All animals from the bear family can be classified into the range of beasts. According to legend, there is a squid beast legion with the squid as the totem among the army under Huangdi.

Therefore, when I heard that there were two bears inside, Chen Xu didn't care, so he arranged for the servant to tear off the black cloth.

"Crazy~"

As the covered black cloth was pulled off, a wooden cage was exposed.

"Damn!"

Looking at the animals with two small and slightly fat in the cage, with clear black and white, and two dark circles on their white heads, Chen Xu couldn't help but exclaim.

Damn, these are obviously two giant pandas!

Chen Xu opened his mouth and was stunned. Then he turned around and looked at Princess Huayu with a strange face. "Princess, what did you say just now?"

Princess Huayu avoided Chen Xu's eyes and said softly with blushing cheeks: "Shiman heard that Qinghehou is delicious, so she brought it specially. Maybe Qinghehou can make a delicious dish..."

"No, giant pandas cannot be eaten!" Before Princess Huayu could finish her words, Chen Xu shook her head like a rattle.

There are many wild animals in this era. As a wild animal, giant pandas should naturally be of a large number. However, Chen Xu had never seen them when he was in Nanyang. He did not expect to meet them in Xianyang, and they were both sides.

At this time, two giant pandas, one big and one small, were locked in a cage, which was slightly different from what they saw in the zoo in later generations. Their hair was messy and covered with mud. Although they looked as cute as they looked, the moment the black cloth was uncovered, both bears grinned at Chen Xu and showed their sharp teeth, making unpleasant sounds, which were obviously a little wild. However, in Chen Xu's view, this wildness was more cute than intimidation because they looked too cute.

These are two purebred wild giant pandas.

However, the nature of giant pandas determines that this species will not be as irritable and cruel as tigers and lions, so it is relatively easy to capture. The safety factor is easier than dealing with rhinos and tigers. However, these things live in high-altitude areas, and they are very flexible and quick to climb mountains and trees. It is not easy to catch them alive. Besides, as a bear warrior of the beast clan, the combat effectiveness of giant pandas should not be underestimated. It was called the iron-eating beast in ancient times. It can be chewed off after angering it. Therefore, it is not easy for all large beasts to capture them.

Therefore, these two giant pandas were probably presented as rare animals, and they were relatively docile and raised for people to watch.

However, in this era, some things like watching animals are not popular, because wild animals are everywhere, and tigers and leopards that are rare in later generations can be seen everywhere, not to mention small animals such as monkeys, foxes, and rabbits. As soon as they leave the city, they follow the safari, and jump everywhere, even wolves can be seen everywhere, riding on the road, sitting in the middle of the road, howling at people, and urinating.

Therefore, Chen Xu asked Princess Huayu that these two giant pandas were kept in the palace for several months, and gradually no one was interested. Therefore, Princess Huayu came to Qinghe Marquis’ Mansion to play today, and Qin Shihuang agreed immediately.

"Qinghe Hou, why can't this white veal beetle be eaten?" Sitting down in the living room, drinking hot tea, Princess Huayu looked at Chen Xu with her big and lively eyes.

"I can't bear to eat such a gentle and cute animal!" Chen Xu said with a few twitching face.

"I didn't expect that the Queen of Qinghe was so kind. Shiman was too abrupt. I would take these two white silk back and ask the palace servants to feed them well!" Princess Huayu said a little embarrassedly.

"The princess doesn't need to take it back. I have loved all kinds of animals since I was a child. Now there are many empty spaces in my mansion, so it's not a problem to raise it!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Okay, Shiman also likes all kinds of small animals. There are squirrels and brocades in my Huayu Palace. Next time Hou Qinghe enters the palace, I can take you to my bedroom and take a look!" Princess Huayu secretly glanced at Chen Xu when she spoke.

Chen Xu's face thrust a few more times. Liars and women are all liars. It was obviously because you wanted to eat the braised bear's palm.

"I'll go to the kitchen to have a look, and arrange for someone to prepare mahjong and play with the princess a few times!"

After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Xu arranged for someone to bring some snacks and snacks to Princess Huayu, and then went around the kitchen and saw the chicken claws, chicken wings, sheep feet and pig feet brought by the princess, so he asked a manager to call Chen Ping, preparing to play a few cards with Princess Huayu. But when he returned to the living room again, he saw Princess Huayu sitting by the kang looking at the stack of sketches and manuscripts he placed on the table.

"Sorry, Shiman was fascinated by what Hehou wrote and painted!" Seeing Chen Xu in, Princess Huayu quickly put down the manuscript in her hand and said with a blushing cheek.

"Haha, it's okay, these are all drawn by me in my spare time. Please give me a gift!" Chen Xu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Qinghe Hou, what is the drawing on this drawing? Why do these characters look so weird? Shi Man doesn't even know any of them." Princess Huayu took out a drawing of a telescope and asked curiously.

"Oh, these characters are a new way of writing, called regular script. In fact, it is not strange, but it has changed the way of writing some small seal script and official style. The small seal script modified by Prime Minister Li is much simpler than the large seal script, but it is still not clear enough. Because too many curved strokes are used, it makes it too complicated to write on bamboo slips or carve seals. Therefore, the officials below use more simple and fast styles of calligraphy when writing documents. Some people call this style of calligraphy. However, because the official script saves a lot of curved strokes, it uses more simple strokes such as dots, strokes, and strokes, which speeds up the writing speed and looks clearer. If the princess looks carefully, are the words I wrote very similar to the words written by the clerk?"

After listening to Chen Xu's explanation, Princess Huayu looked carefully at the words on the draft paper, and then couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Shi Man seems to be like this when Qinghe Hou said this. These words are not completely unrecognizable, but the strokes are just a bit weird! Then the first word should be the word Wang, Qinghe Hou, Shi Man hasn't admitted her mistake, right?"

"Not bad!" Chen Xu flipped through the desk, took out a manual of regular script written by himself and handed it over, saying, "The princess can view it according to the index I wrote, and she can quickly and easily transform all small seal script into regular script!"

This book is based on the radicals and radicals. Each radical index corresponds to a radical of a small seal script. The dots, horizontals and strokes are written clearly. You only need to convert the same radicals of a small seal script into a radical of a regular script. Therefore, after Princess Huayu opened the index and looked at it for a while, she could clearly recognize the regular script characters on the telescope drawings. Chen Xu was still giving instructions. Soon Princess Huayu completely figured out the writing and structural characteristics of the regular script characters. She also picked up the brush on the desk and began to write her name straight on a piece of hemp pulp paper in a stroke according to the regular script writing standards.

"Qinghe Hou, see if Shiman wrote it correctly?" Princess Huayu handed Chen Xu the three words she wrote.

"It's not bad, the princess wrote it very correctly and beautifully! But at the end of this stroke, a sharp pen tip like the tip of a knife..."

Looking at the three regular characters in square and vertical lines on the paper, Chen Xu was extremely ashamed. The characters he had written for many years were not as beautiful as those written by others after reading them for ten minutes.

After receiving Chen Xu's praise, Princess Huayu became more interested. She knelt on the kang and wrote more attentively in accordance with the index copybook. Every time she wrote a few, she had to look up to see if Chen Xu was asking if it was right. Chen Xu could only smile bitterly and constantly praise, occasionally pointing out the shortcomings of the strokes.

The characters in regular script were the absolute dominant of the printing world in later generations and almost dominate the world. Apart from the title, whether it is newspapers or books, the content is basically regular script. There are also sayings in the calligraphy world. Without practicing real script (regular script), you cannot become a great calligrapher who can enter the hall. This shows the status of regular script in the calligraphy world.

Although Chen Xu had read a million characters in regular script, he realized after writing it with a brush that there was something called brush calligraphy in this world that he had no chance of, so he drew this index copybook bit by bit, rather than writing it with a stroke.
