You will always have to pay for what you have done.
Faced with Jiang Yu's expectant expression, Ye Wanqing had no choice but to agree. However, after looking at the drawings for a long time, she couldn't figure out what he had drawn.
But, everyone knows that trying to cover up something only makes it more obvious.
"Ah, this, I can't think of how to change it for the moment."
Jiang Yu said "Oh" and murmured, "It's quite difficult. Brother Xu doesn't know how to do it either?"
Ye Wanqing quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Jiang Yu, there's a ceremony to worship the heavens being held in the city recently. Why don't we go there and have some fun for a few days before we miss the festival? Maybe we'll have some ideas after that."
"Well, Brother Axu, you have a point." Jiang Yu agreed with her without thinking too much, but then said, "But don't you hate going to crowded places the most?"
Before Ye Wanqing could answer, Jiang Yu suddenly realized, "That's right, your father must be coming back. Are you going to the city gate to pick him up?"
Ye Wanqing uttered an "ah" but before she could respond, Jiang Yu continued, "But Lord Shen punished you by asking you to practice martial arts as soon as he returned. What's there to look forward to?"
Before Ye Wanqing could respond, Jiang Yu continued, "But it's also true that you and Lord Shen haven't seen each other for half a year. After all, he is your father, so he must be looking forward to it. This time I'm going back to my hometown to pay homage, and the children and relatives at home are all looking forward to seeing me..."
Ye Wanqing was stunned as she listened to the burly man chattering on and on about trivial matters in her life. She tried to interrupt him several times but failed.
So how did the rumored Minister of Works manage to be solitary and rarely make friends?
Isn’t that quite something to say!
"Then Lord Shen won't go out until the afternoon. How hot it is for you to be squeezed in the crowd so early in the morning."
Ye Wanqing coughed lightly, quickly interrupting his self-questioning and answering, "Actually, I was sick a few days ago, and my mind is completely blank right now. I was thinking of going out for a walk and getting some fresh air."
She immediately thought of using illness as an excuse. She only needed to imitate Chen Xu's previous behavior on weekdays, and she could fool the people in the Marquis' Mansion and outsiders.
But this person, after all, is Shen Xu's close friend who he has been with for more than ten years, and he knows all his private habits.
Since I have decided to play the role of Shen Xu well, I can't let it slip in front of Jiang Yu.
Fortunately, this tall and strong Minister of Works did not seem to be very smart, so he should be easy to fool by just dealing with the conversation.
Of course, apart from this stack of drawings, which are too profound, Shen Xu can study something else. When the time comes, he will have to ask Murong Yan how to deal with it.
"Well, I also want to go to the handicraft street to see if there are any novel objects that may bring me some inspiration. I actually saw this on the street in my hometown last time..."
"Stop!" Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to start chattering again, Ye Wanqing hurriedly interrupted him and urged: "Let's go to the street quickly, it will be dark if we continue talking."
Jiang Yu gave a few of the finished windmills to Ye Wanqing and A Rao. Seeing that Ye Wanqing didn't play with them, he was a little disappointed and said a little aggrievedly, "Brother Xu, don't you like this thing? Oh, I see. You must think it's too simple, right? I knew Brother Xu would have a better way to improve it. I also think the contraction time of this spring is too short. It should be..."
Ye Wanqing turned over the windmill and felt that there must be a mechanism inside, but she didn't want to reveal that she didn't know how to use it, so she put it away carefully.
She frowned slightly and interrupted Jiang Yu again, "No, no, brother Jiang Yu did a really good job."
"Eh? What's so good about that? O-nii also thinks putting the spring in the hollow tube at the handle would save space, and the twist switch..."
"Brother, let's go to the street quickly. Let's go shopping before my dad comes back."
Jiang Yu nodded excitedly and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, Brother Xu, I want to eat the sugar-painted figurines from Dongshikou. I want the boss to draw a flying phoenix for me."
Ye Wanqing: "Uh..."
It was the first time she saw such a burly man acting like a spoiled child with her and pestering her to buy candy.
Who the hell said he doesn't look cheerful? He is so cheerful!
Mad, so cute.
A Rao arranged a carriage from the Marquis' Mansion, and the three of them sat in the carriage and went out into the street.
I was worried that Jiang Yu would talk nonstop all the way, but I didn't expect him to sit there without saying a word, as if he was immersed in some thoughts.
Research is always like this, it's hard to figure it out.
Ye Wanqing didn't dare to speak, for fear that once she spoke, she would open up her brother's chatterbox and things would get out of control.
A Rao is a very dull person. When people talk to him, he usually answers one sentence at a time.
At the moment, the three of them were sitting in the carriage in silence, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
"Hmph!" Jiang Yu suddenly snorted and pouted, "I've been back for so long, Brother Xu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ye Wanqing was stunned. It turned out that this guy was sulking!
So she tentatively explained, "I thought you were thinking about some new research, so I didn't dare interrupt you."
The young man smiled sweetly, and his sweet, childish voice, which matched his burly figure, was quite inconsistent. "Ah Xu, you really understand me. I'm just wondering what device should be used to load the newly discovered gas power..."
Ye Wanqing slapped herself hard in her heart. Why did she respond to his words so rudely? Sure enough, she only made him talk again.
Jiang Yu excitedly talked about his recent research findings, using terms he didn't understand. "If you lock the flowing gas in a sealed device, it will keep flowing, and then pass through the gears and shafts..."
Forget it, let's just listen to him talk. At least the atmosphere is more comfortable than just staring at each other.
Ye Wanqing was still thinking to herself.
"Brother Axu, how do you think we can solve this sealing problem?"
As luck would have it, Jiang Yu still had to ask questions from time to time.
Ye Wanqing wanted to cry but had no tears. How could she understand these things?
Fortunately, Jiang Yu had the habit of asking and answering his own questions. He casually pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from his sleeve and started writing and drawing. "I should make a sealed iron tool, but how do I achieve push and pull..."
This time, Ye Wanqing simply didn't respond. She nodded and smiled patiently and politely, pretending to understand.
The boy painted while talking to himself, and was immersed in his own thoughts.
He didn't come back to his senses until A Rao handed him the sugar painting of a flying phoenix.
The carriage slowly turned on the street and soon arrived at the handicraft street.
Only then did Jiang Yu notice the slightly melted sugar painting. The details of the phoenix on it had melted away and turned into a sticky mass.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for treating me to candy. I really like Brother Xu the most." Jiang Yu took a sip nonchalantly and was in a good mood.
Ye Wanqing smiled politely and didn't dare to say anything.
After all, he can even chat with himself. If you start a conversation with him, he can definitely chat with you for three days and three nights.
