Chapter 1768: Gu Yundong Is a Lucky StarEditor: Henyee Translations

Shao Qingyuan turned around and returned to the house. Not long after, he came out with the box that Gu Yundong had carried in.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened. Yes, how could they have forgotten that Princess Yongjia did have such a box in her hands before she entered the door?

However, this box was so small. Was it really that useful?

Shao Qingyuan looked around. This courtyard was not convenient. "Let’s talk in the hall."

Hence, everyone followed the Bai family to the hall one after another. When the scholars in the three rooms saw this, they looked at each other for a while. In the end, their curiosity overcame their timidity and they followed. However, they stood at the outermost area.

Shao Qingyuan placed the box on the table and took out the things from inside.

Yi Zilan, Bai Yong, and the other two immediately went forward. Each of them reached out to take one and carefully looked at it under their noses.

"This is..."

"It’s indeed a printing mold."

"But those seem to independent words."

Gu Yundong explained, "This is called movable printing. It’s an improvement on the engraved printing that we’ve seen before. Movable printing is to first make the commonly used words, then place them on an iron plate and start to arrange them according to the words on our books. This might not be very convenient for one or two books, but if you print hundreds or thousands of books, it will have a miraculous effect."

"Yes, yes, yes. That’s right." The old duke nodded repeatedly. He praised in his heart, and his eyes were shining. "This thing is amazing. It’s easy to carve words with mud. Even if those unfamiliar words don’t exist, we can make one on the spot."

Yi Zilan laughed. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Princess Yongjia, it seems that the emperor is right. You’re indeed the lucky star of our Dajin Dynasty. Look, this magnifying glass has just been made and there’s the movable printing method immediately. It seems that this princess’s title is indeed worthy. Continue to work hard and do more meaningful things for our Dajin Dynasty in the future."

Gu Yundong: "..." Do you think I’m a donkey or a horse? Do I have to give my all?

If it weren’t for this guy’s random ideas, she wouldn’t have taken this thing out in advance.

Someone at the side asked curiously, "Your Highness, I was curious before. What is the magnifying glass mentioned in the imperial decree?"

Yi Zilan’s interest was instantly piqued. He carefully put the clay figurine back and took out a magnifying glass.

"This is it."

Shao Qingyuan glanced at him. This thing was casually placed in front of Yi Zilan’s chest. Wasn’t he afraid that it would break and cut him?

Gu Yundong also took a look. Yes... it looked like the authentic one. There were two mirrors and a curved copper frame in the middle. Jewelry and jade actually fell on it.

Gu Yundong was speechless. She knew that they were pursuing beauty, but there was no need for that.

She rubbed her forehead. Yi Zilan had already started introducing them.

"This is a magnifying glass. It can magnify the font on a book. This thing is very suitable for scholars and people who are old and have poor eyesight."

When they heard that it was suitable for scholars, the students who were originally at the periphery squeezed in one after another. They did not even care about their identities.

As for the old duke, his eyesight was indeed not very good. He directly took the magnifying glass and casually opened a book on the table to read it seriously.

"This is good. This is great."

Yi Zilan was smug, but he did not take credit for it. He just pointed at Gu Yundong. "She gave it to me too."
