Chapter 688 High-Speed ​​Waterwheel

Yao Bo was stunned. What did she just say? She could see Mr. Qi, and she even had Mr. Qi's keepsake?

Shu Yu smiled at him, "So, do you want to say something? Time waits for no one. If we delay any longer, Uncle Yao might suffer even more."

Before she could finish speaking, and before Yao Bo could even open his mouth, Mrs. Yao quickly stepped forward and said eagerly, "Yes, yes, my husband made a farming tool that can irrigate farmland and increase grain yields. He wants to give it to Mr. Qi."

What Yao Bo wanted to stop was that the lesson from back then wasn't profound enough? His father was doing well in the Ministry of Works, but because he made a rare item, he got into trouble and was exiled to the southwest.

But then I thought, no matter how good something is, it can never compare to my father's life.

Therefore, when his mother spoke, he opened his mouth but ultimately didn't utter a sound.

Shu Yu was taken aback when she heard this. Irrigate farmland?

She had also worked on wasteland, so she naturally knew that at this time, the use of agricultural tools in Da Su Dynasty was not very widespread.

"What is it?"

Yao Bo took a deep breath, turned around and went into the house. A moment later, he came out with a small model.

Shu Yu knew what it was at a glance.

A high-speed waterwheel is indeed an agricultural tool used for irrigation.

In her world, this was an irrigation tool from the Tang Dynasty. She had never actually seen one in the Great Su Dynasty.

She didn't look at it for long before quickly looking away and said to Yao Bo, "Okay, then take this model with you, and we'll go to the county government office to find Mr. Qi."

Yao Bo was taken aback. He glanced at Shu Yu and was certain that she had only glanced at her briefly before looking away.

Looking at Lu Erbai again, as a carpenter, Lu Erbai should be very concerned about this kind of thing, but he quickly shifted his gaze and turned to ask Shu Yu, "Ayu, is it really okay to go see Mr. Qi?"

"No."

Shu Yu shook her head, then looked at Yao Bo, "Aren't you leaving?"

Yao Bo suddenly came to his senses, "Let's go, let's go, we're leaving now."

He quickly packed up the model, turned to his mother and wife and said, "Mother, I'm going to the county government now. Don't be sad, Father will be alright. We'll be back soon."

Mrs. Yao could only nod. "You should also be careful. When you go over there, try to avoid the constables."

"knew."

Shu Yu, along with Lu Erbai and Yao Bo, headed back towards the county government office.

The guards at the gate were taken aback when they saw Shu Yu return, and looked at her strangely.

"Miss Lu, is there anything else?"

"Brother guard, I'd like to see Mr. Qi."

The guard looked troubled and frowned, saying, "Miss Lu, the master and the gentleman are both busy right now and probably won't see you. If you don't have anything important to do, you should go back first. I'll pass on your message after the master has rested."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two people following behind Shu Yu.

One was with her before, and the other... a young man who seemed to have been here earlier as well.

What do they want to do?

Shu Yu lowered her head, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to the guard in front of her. "This was given to me by Mr. Qi. Please pass it on to him and tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him."

The guard looked down, hesitated for a moment, and then took it. "Wait a moment."

He instructed another guard to watch the door, then turned and went inside.

Yao Bo looked at Shu Yu in surprise. Did she really have Mr. Qi's keepsake?
