Chapter 123: Novelty

Ouyang Jingjing instinctively nodded to the maid beside her, Yongchun, when she saw Lingxi's extensive knowledge. Yongchun walked into the inner room and pulled out something from inside. That thing looked very strange, lifting up the pink scarf that was covering it high.

Lingxi looked at the rough shape of the thing and had some guesses in his heart, his eyes turning a hundred times.

The maid Yongchun carefully placed the object on the table of the Eight Immortals, with a very light movement, as if afraid that her hand would be slightly heavier and break it.

Jingjing glanced at the object with a hint of mystery in her eyes.

Seeing Jingjing's appearance, Lingxi knew that this thing must be extraordinary, but she didn't know if her guess was correct. She can unexpectedly see here, compared to diamonds from across the ocean that symbolize eternal love. Seeing anything else here is not enough emotion.

Seeing a contemplative expression on Lingxi's face, Jingjing couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to know what this is, little sister?" After speaking, she gently pulled her hand and then removed the pink scarf covering her.

Expose a trumpet shaped, black object resembling a phonograph.

Seeing this thing, Lingxi's hand couldn't help but gently caress it. There was a horn shaped fixed sound device on top, and a disc below. If Lingxi guessed correctly, it was a phonograph from overseas.

Lingxi didn't expect to see a phonograph here. Is it a good thing? When she saw the phonograph, a warm and sweet image couldn't help but come to her mind. A princess dressed in white and a handsome young man, the two of them gazing at each other with affection, then embracing and dancing.

But that world is already far away from her at this moment.

Seeing Lingxi daydreaming, Jingjing thought she didn't know her because she didn't know her. So I feel a bit embarrassed. She rarely saw Lingxi like this, and couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on her face. She quickly said, "I'm sure you don't know this, do you? This is a good thing, isn't it?" Jingjing finished speaking. Like offering a treasure, Ming Yongchun took out a thin sheet from the box below. A circular disk.

Oh, is that so

Lingxi's mouth was filled with surprise. At this moment, she certainly wouldn't foolishly take things out of context and steal Jingjing's limelight.

Jingjing was in a particularly good mood at this moment. While feeling proud, she accidentally saw the faint smile on her lips when Lingxi turned her eyes. That pure gaze, as calm and indifferent as the clear water of a cold pond, made her momentarily stunned.

Lingxi is like a luminous body, shining everywhere. At this moment, her casual smile was incredibly beautiful. Jingjing had never seen that woman smile so beautifully.

In Jingjing's impression, Lingxi has always been calm and composed. At this moment, her indifferent smile was like a lake suddenly wrinkled by the autumn wind, a tender leaf emerging from the grass covered with flowers, which not only surprised people but also brought some unexpected surprises.

Jingjing suddenly became unconfident again, thinking about the rumors about Lingxi and the Third Prince Chu Guagua outside. Although they are considered mortal enemies outside. He often pinched each other, but this time he saw that they got along harmoniously and there was nothing as unbearable as others said?

I can't help but say insincerely, "Sister, the way you smile is really beautiful. I think there must be many men who are in love with you, right? Does Sister have someone she likes

Lingxi gave a faint smile, but there was no obvious color change on his lips. He just gave a gentle "yes" in his mouth, without saying "yes" or "no", and then turned his gaze to the phonograph.

Seeing Lingxi's somewhat absent-minded response, it must be due to face saving reasons. Jingjing felt delighted and comforted herself, "I'm afraid she's overthinking it." She couldn't help but say, "Sister, you must be so outstanding, you must be picky! Don't worry if there's no suitable one, you're still young, you can take your time. If you successfully recapture the Southern tribe this time, it will be a great achievement. Getting promoted to a higher position and a higher rank is just around the corner. I'm afraid that on that day, the good husband who came to your door will be queuing up to rush forward

She covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Thinking of Leng Xuan, she couldn't help but feel a gentle tug in her heart.

Still a faint smile, but with a hint of coldness in his eyes, the clear water like eyes were filled with a surge of undercurrent.

At this point, Jingjing had already placed the disk on the phonograph and gently inserted it into the disk. The black disk was driven by force and gently rotated.

The stylus moves along the groove, and the needle tip vibrates slightly with the fluctuation of the groove. This vibration is transmitted through a mechanical device to a membrane, which is amplified and emitted into the air, and then the sound rays on top are lowered.

Lingxi stared at the phonograph without blinking, but in this phonograph, there was only pure music and no singing sound.

But I saw Jingjing's footsteps slowly turning along with the moving music.

How about it? Does it sound good

Lingxi smiled knowingly and whispered, "Sister is really amazing. I didn't expect such an inconspicuous little thing to make such a wonderful sound

Jingjing lifted her head and proudly said, "Of course, don't underestimate this thing. It crossed the ocean and traveled thousands of miles by waterway before I got it! Its name is phonograph. I heard it can not only play music, but also record human voices. Unfortunately, no one here knows how to do it

Because there is a port here, and there are commercial ships coming and going in that port, it is common for foreigners to bring these western things from overseas.

And once these imported goods are discovered by the government, some will be confiscated while others will be locked up together.

So the quantity of these things is pitifully small, but Jingjing doesn't want to have one in her hand.

Xiaoxiao and Lvluo were delighted to see such a novelty for the first time, as if celebrating Chinese New Year. Xiaoxiao quietly tugged at the sleeve of Lingxi and asked softly, "Miss, is this thing really so magical that it can keep a person's voice? I am sixteen years old now, and if I could still hear the voice of my youth when I am old, what a wonderful thing it would be

Jingjing's face also showed a look of longing, but unfortunately when she got this thing, she didn't ask clearly, and her brain was stupid, so she still can't figure it out. How did this sound stay up there.

Seeing everyone's faces showing a look of envy, Lingxi's heart was like a mirror, for someone like her who has traveled through time and been reborn. This kind of thing is simply childish.

When her gaze shifted. She saw a very delicate small box and her eyes suddenly lit up.

I couldn't help but pick it up, but I felt that the box, which seemed to be made of wood, was incredibly heavy like steel, but its tentacles were icy cold.

Lingxi picked it up and felt a sense of joy in his heart. She never dreamed that the Prince Lian's Mansion would have such a thing.

Sister, can this seemingly strange looking iron guy really keep your voice on top? "Lingxi gently averted his gaze and calmly moved away from the iron box. Looking at Jingjing, she said.

Yeah, phonograph, phonograph, its name is phonograph, it must be able to keep a person's voice inside. But I'm too stupid. I've been holding it back for so long, and I can't even see through any tricks

In Jingjing's words, there was a hint of self blame and helplessness.

Oh, is it really that magical? "Lingxi finished speaking and carefully examined the phonograph. She took a closer look and wrote a few English letters on the side of the phonograph, and there was also a button device.

Just this location is close to the inside, if you don't look closely, you won't know at all. And Jingjing and the others don't know English letters, let alone what the button behind the phonograph is used for.

As expected by Lingxi, this operation is actually too simple.

Just open the button next to the base and press the recording button next to it to start singing and recording against the background music inside.

Glancing at the dark and heavy box again, Lingxi's lips couldn't help but burst into a few smiles.

Seeing Lingxi looking very seriously, touching here and looking there, looking very seriously. Jingjing couldn't help but hold a few hopes in her heart and hurriedly asked, "Did my sister see anything? Is there any way

Pretending to be lost in thought, Lingxi lowered its head and pondered for a while. After a while, it patted its head and showed a hint of shyness on its face. It quickly said, "I can only try, but I can't guarantee that I can do it, can I

Really? "Seeing Lingxi say this, Jingjing's beautiful big eyes were filled with excitement.

She couldn't help but shout, 'I want Your Highness to come and take a look. If we really succeed, I will record each other's voices with her.' Thinking of the sweetness between the two, a few red clouds inadvertently floated on Jingjing's face.

Wait for me to take a look, I'm just lying and not sure. But I need something to help me with, "Lingxi said, his eyes fixed on the black iron box.

Judging from the shape and appearance of that box, it must be exactly what she wants. If she had this thing in her hand, along with a weapon that could be a servant prophet on her neck.

Hehe, that can be said to be invincible on the battlefield!

Do you want this? "Jingjing followed Lingxi's eyes and saw her looking at an ugly, unremarkable iron box. She had opened the box before and found a strange iron lump inside, but she didn't know how to use it.

Well, yes, I think my sister agreed to a request. If I can make the sound of this phonograph sound, can you give me this black black spot

Jingjing nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice and said, "Is that okay

Okay, shall I try my best? "After saying that, Lingxi squatted down and gently pulled her white and tender hands behind the phonograph. After spinning the disk a few more times, only the sound of Didi could be heard. Lingxi said, "Sister, when you see my gesture, I'll put my finger down and you can try singing a few lyrics
