"Mom, this is my gift to you. Do you like it?"

At this time, it was at home that Daier offered treasures with the gift made by Jiayi - an exquisite pendulum clock.

Jiayi spent some effort to design the pendulum clock outside. First, it was a four-legged base, the whole was an arrow tower or the style of a bell tower. The upper part was a circular dial, and the top was a carved, which was carved with a big rooster foraging under a tree. I originally wanted to carve a fèng huáng, but was it for women after all, it was a gift for women. However, fèng huáng was too complicated. He was afraid that the construction period was not enough, so he was mainly lazy.

The single pendulum is hidden inside the bell tower and cannot be seen outside. Because the single pendulum needs to be placed inside, there are requirements for the height of the entire pendulum clock. Of course, you can actually make it into 0.5 seconds or 0.25 seconds, so that the height can be lowered. However, in this way, the gear system inside will have to be redesigned, which is too troublesome.

After Jiayi designed the drawings, he handed them over to Dai'er and asked the carpenter she went to find to make them out of cherry wood. After taking them back, he carved them casually according to some magic patterns and filled them with some gold. After all, it was used as a gift? It can't be too simple.

As for what to do if the carving is broken, it is a kind of incomplete beauty and artistic matter. Do you know how to appreciate it? Fortunately, Jiayi's hands are very stable and there is no accident.

Now there are such clocks in front of Dai'er's mother. With the ticking sound inside, the slender seconds hand on the gilded dial was walking step by step.

Unfortunately, Dai'er's mother Xuefu didn't know what this is: "It's quite interesting. This needle can keep walking without moving. What is the scale above for? Is this time?"

When Jiayi made the dial, he used the general time marks he used now, and the sundial surface was also round, so Xuefu recognized it at a glance, but she did not react to it. This was also a timekeeping tool.

"This is a pendulum clock, which is used for timing. It was made by the teacher and Jiayi. It is much more useful than sundials or something. It doesn't matter if it is timely and cloudy."

Dai'er began to explain the usage of the clock to her mother, and also explained the concept of hours (the original timing was 12 o'clock, but now it is 24 hours. As for why it is forced to push 24 hours, of course it is because the author is lazy). Jiayi also designed the function of time reporting, of course it is the simplest type. It usually rings at the hour of the hour, but it will ring at 12 o'clock. However, there is a disadvantage, that it will ring at 12 o'clock at night, so it cannot be placed in the bedroom.

After Xue Fu understood the function of this clock, she couldn't help but exclaimed this time: "I didn't expect you could design such a delicate thing. I used to think that this second hand was just for walking and playing. Now it's nine o'clock... forty-seven... forty-five... fifty... two, three, four seconds. Right?"

The first time Xuefu saw such a delicate thing, it was like a child who got a fun toy. The main reason was that although she was the hostess of the territory, she had no fun in her daily life. Apart from inviting a few ladies in the territory to chat and play cards, there was no other entertainment. This was just a small town, not even an opera house. If you want to see this, you have to go to Wickham, the provincial capital.

"Is this your teacher made it?" Although Dai'er had already said it before, she still couldn't help but want to confirm it.

Daier said: "The teacher and Jiayi made it together."

Seeing Dai'er's excited look, Xuefu couldn't help but jokingly said, "Then what did you do?"

Seeing that her daughter lowered her head, she felt embarrassed, and she couldn't bear to say too much, so she changed the topic: "Why didn't Jiayi and your teacher come here?"

"The teacher is studying adding magic circles to clocks. Jiayi has now reached the standard of promotion and has been working hard for promotion. Moreover, they think that mother's birthday is our own business, and we didn't invite outsiders, so we just came. But they asked me to bring a gift, the teacher gave me a ruby, and Jiayi gave me a headdress."

Xuefu's birthday this time was just an ordinary birthday, and there was no big invitation to guests. The whole family gathered together to celebrate, so neither Kaichi nor Im came here.

After Dai'er finished speaking, she took her backpack and took out a box and a piece of ruby ​​from it. Dai'er handed the ruby ​​to her mother. It can be seen that everyone was not particularly concerned about this ruby. Although this gem is not small, the size of a small fingernail and looks very pure, it was not cut, and most of the light was covered up.

Although this gift is not cheap, it makes people feel a very casual feeling. It's like Dai'er telling her teacher that she was going home to celebrate her mother's birthday. The teacher felt that she should give her a gift, and then she fumbled in her pocket for a long time and couldn't find a suitable one. Then she suddenly saw this piece of ruby ​​and threw it over casually and asked her to give it to her mother as a gift.

It was very careless and you could tell at a glance that it was not carefully selected.

Of course, although the reality is not the case, it is not much different.

If you are a pretentious rén dà, you will feel that the gift is not intent, but Xuefu is the lord's wife after all, so she will not be so unpredictable. Moreover, speaking of this, the position of the wizard is actually above the little lords of these little lords.

Xuefu happily put away the ruby. Although it was not big, it was carefully polished and cut. Whether it was a ring face or a necklace, it was very good. But she looked at Dai'er and felt a little strange, why she kept holding the box.

Xuefu looked at her daughter with her eyes straight, until she felt a little embarrassed when she reluctantly handed over the box.

After Xuefu took it, she opened it with a smile on her face. She also thought that what made her daughter so stingy that she wanted to "embezzle" her mother's gift.

He opened the small box and there was a delicate butterfly of gold. Two tentacles stretched out from his head, and two fine rubies were inlaid at the tip. She picked up the butterfly, and the butterfly's wings were trembling, as if they were about to fly, which made people afraid that they would break their wings by accident. Below the butterfly was a clip, which looked like it should be a hairpin. No wonder Daier was reluctant to let it go. Girls were always unable to resist such exquisite gadgets.

This was made by Jiayi based on the hairpin appearance on the earth. It was melted with a magic furnace. The magician's touch plasticity was easily made. On the earth, this is nothing. Except for the material, it is basically a mess. Even for low-cost products, you can cover the wings with a thin layer of porcelain or other colorful patterns. Jiayi's whole body looks a bit monotonous except for the tentacles.

The wings of this butterfly hairpin are made of gold, and the body is made of alloy mixed with gold. The rest are only coated with a layer of gold, so that the strength must be maintained. Purely on the material, this is not cheap for ordinary people, but not too expensive for the lords. However, this design and craftsmanship can be regarded as a masterpiece in this era.

After all, using magic and using handicraft are two different concepts.

Xuefu couldn't put it down, so she pinned the hairpin on her head without any guidance and admired it in front of the mirror. She was originally going to take a look and gave it to Dai'er, but now this idea has long been thrown away.

Dai'er pouted on the side, probably foreseeing this situation, otherwise she wouldn't have been so reluctant.

It is worthy of being a mother and daughter, and both can guess what the other person means.
